This actress once played the role of superstar’s granddaughter, later romanced the same star, she gave hits with Rishi Kapoor, Jitendra, Anil Kapoor https://www.india.com/entertainment/this-actress-sridevi-once-played-the-role-of-superstars-granddaughter-later-romanced-the-same-star-she-gave-hits-with-rishi-kapoor-jitendra-anil-kapoor-7508431/ Thu, 02 Jan 2025 04:18:38 +0000 https://www.india.com/?p=7508431

Many actresses have played the lover of an actor in films and later portrayed the mother of the same actor. Sridevi is one such example. She acted as both granddaughter and a love interest of a South superstar in different films. These two superstars are true gems of the film industry. Although they are no longer with us, their work continues to win hearts. The memories of these stars remain etched in people’s minds even today. The renowned South actor in question is the late Tollywood legend NT Rama Rao. In the 1972 Telugu film Badi Panthulu, Sridevi, at the age of 9, portrayed the role of NT Rama Rao’s granddaughter. In the same film, NT Rama Rao played the role of a 56-year-old grandfather.

Sridevi and NT Rama Rao

There was an age gap of 40 years between NT Rama Rao and Sridevi. Even today, the legacy of these two legends, NT Rama Rao and Sridevi, remains unforgettable.

Sridevi and NTR in Satyam Shivam (Telugu, 1981)

Few people know that NT Rama Rao and Sridevi worked together in 12 films. In one of these films, Vetagadu (1979), Sridevi played the role of NT Rama Rao’s heroine, capturing audiences’ hearts with her performance. This action-packed Telugu film also featured South superstar Junior NTR.

Sridevi enjoyed an illustrious career, starring in numerous hit and blockbuster films. She collaborated with Bollywood icons like Amitabh Bachchan, Jeetendra, and Rishi Kapoor, delivering many memorable performances. In the 1989 film Chandni, Sridevi’s portrayal alongside Rishi Kapoor was exceptional. The movie became a blockbuster and remains a fan favorite. The chemistry between Sridevi and Rishi Kapoor in the film continues to be appreciated by audiences even today. At the 37th National Film Awards, Chandni won Best Popular Film Providing Wholesome Entertainment.

This blockbuster was rejected by Madhuri Dixit, Aishwarya Rai, Sridevi; Sunny Deol tore his jeans in front of famous director in anger https://www.india.com/entertainment/this-blockbuster-darr-was-rejected-by-madhuri-dixit-aishwarya-rai-sridevi-sunny-deol-tore-his-jeans-in-front-of-famous-director-in-anger-7508246/ Thu, 02 Jan 2025 03:21:38 +0000 https://www.india.com/?p=7508246 The movie we are talking about is the 1993 psychological thriller, directed and produced by Yash Chopra under his banner Yash Raj Films. It stars Sunny Deol and Juhi Chawla in lead roles, with Shah Rukh Khan playing the antagonist. Annu Kapoor, Tanvi Azmi, Anupam Kher, and Dalip Tahil appear in supporting roles. In the film, Kiran Awasthi (Chawla) is stalked by her obsessive lover Rahul Mehra (Khan), who goes berserk when she gets engaged to Sunil Malhotra (Deol), a navy officer, and decides to claim Kiran for himself by force.

The movie was a major commercial success and was declared a blockbuster at the box office. It ranked as the third-highest-grossing Hindi film of the year and the highest-grossing Indian film of the year in overseas markets. Upon release, it received widespread critical acclaim, with high praise for its direction, story, screenplay, soundtrack, cinematography, costumes, and the cast’s performances.

Juhi Chawla was not the first choice of Yash Chopra

We are talking about Darr, it proved to be a milestone in the careers of both Juhi Chawla and Shah Rukh Khan, catapulting them to superstardom. Interestingly, the role of Juhi Chawla was initially offered to Madhuri Dixit, Aishwarya Rai, and Sridevi. The legendary filmmaker Yash Chopra first offered the film to Sridevi, with whom he had previously worked in Chandni (1989) and Lamhe (1991). However, Sridevi reportedly wanted the entire script to be reworked so that her character would be the obsessive lover, which Chopra refused. The film was then offered to Madhuri Dixit, who declined the role for unknown reasons.

Darr also went on to win the National Film Award for Best Popular Film Providing Wholesome Entertainment.

Sunny Deol called Darr a mistake

Sunny Deol once described working on Darr as a bad experience and even called it a mistake in his career. In an old interview with Filmfare, the actor shared his frustrations about the film and vowed never to work with the late Yash Chopra again. He recalled an incident in Switzerland when he was so angry that, in a moment of rage, he stuffed his hands into his pockets and ended up ripping his jeans. “If I could restart my career, I’d avoid a mistake called Darr. Making that film was the worst experience of my life. I was tired of the lies and manipulations,” Sunny said.

The actor was upset about the way his character, a commando officer, was shown losing in a fight scene. Speaking about the disagreement years later on Aap Ki Adalat, Sunny revealed, “I had a heated argument with Yash Chopra. I explained that my character is a trained commando and wouldn’t lose easily in a fight. If the antagonist could stab me when I wasn’t looking, that would make sense. But how could he defeat me while I was fully aware? That didn’t feel right.” Sunny admitted that during the argument, he became so frustrated that he unknowingly ripped his pants.

Sunny also shared that he didn’t speak to Shah Rukh Khan for 16 years after Darr, although it wasn’t intentional. “It’s not like I refused to talk to him; I’m not someone who socializes much, so we just never crossed paths to speak,” he explained.

This actress who romanced Rajesh Khanna, was allegedly involved in terror activities, suddenly disappeared, was later found… https://www.india.com/entertainment/this-actress-laila-khan-romanced-rajesh-khanna-was-allegedly-involved-in-terror-activities-suddenly-disappeared-was-later-found-7504236/ Tue, 31 Dec 2024 06:44:13 +0000 https://www.india.com/?p=7504236 Bollywood actress, known for her appearance alongside Rajesh Khanna in the 2008 film Wafa: A Deadly Love Story, lived a life filled with mystery and ended in tragedy. Born as Reshma Patel in 1978, her life came to a shocking end on January 30, 2011, when she was allegedly murdered, along with some family members, by her stepfather.

Laila Khan reportedly married Munir Khan, linked to a banned group in Bangladesh. In early 2011, Laila, her mother, and several family members traveled from Mumbai to their holiday home in Igatpuri, Maharashtra. Shortly after, all of them went missing. This disappearance raised suspicions, leading to a search for answers.

Laila’s father, Nadir Shah Patel, filed a missing persons report and sought help from the Bombay High Court. A Bollywood director who worked with Laila also reported her disappearance. Investigations pointed to her stepfathers, Parvez Iqbal Tak and Asif Sheikh, as key suspects. Tak, arrested in June 2012 by the Jammu and Kashmir Police for another case, initially confessed to killing Laila and her family. He claimed the murders took place at the Igatpuri home, and the bodies were buried near the bungalow. However, Tak later changed his statement, adding to the confusion surrounding the case.

Eventually, Tak and Asif Sheikh confessed to the Mumbai Crime Branch about their involvement. In a gruesome discovery, police found six bodies buried near Laila’s Igatpuri bungalow. These were believed to be the remains of Laila and her family.

The motive for the murders was linked to personal disputes, jealousy, and other undisclosed reasons. This tragic event sheds light on the stark contrast between Laila’s life onscreen and her struggles offscreen. Her story is a haunting reminder that the glitz and glamour of Bollywood often hide complex and dark realities.

This Bigg Boss star lost all money, faced financial crisis, broke up with boyfriend, struggled to afford her…, not Rashami Desai https://www.india.com/entertainment/this-bigg-boss-star-pavitra-punia-lost-all-money-faced-financial-crisis-broke-up-with-boyfriend-eijaz-khan-struggled-to-afford-her-not-rashami-desai-7503696/ Tue, 31 Dec 2024 02:30:19 +0000 https://www.india.com/?p=7503696 This actress began her career with the MTV show Splitsvilla 3. In 2010, she made her acting debut with the show Geet – Hui Sabse Parayi, portraying the character of Dalljiet. She later gained recognition for playing the love interest of Sidharth Shukla in the Star Plus show Love U Zindagi. In 2020, she was one of the strongest contestants in Bigg Boss 14, where Rubina Dilaik emerged as the winner and Rahul Vaidya as the runner-up. During the show, she fell in love with an actor from a different religion. The two remained in a relationship for a few years after leaving the show but have since parted ways. The actress has now become more devoted to her religion.

This actress once revealed about her struggles and poor financial conditions. She also admitted to having suicidal thoughts multiple times. In a candid conversation with ETimes TV, Pavitra Punia opened up about the difficult phases of her life, including her father’s demise and financial crisis due to lack of work. Talking about the finances, she recalled how her pay for seven days of work was kept on hold during the lockdown. Thus, it led to an extreme financial crisis for Pavitra as she kept her savings for future use. She said, “To be honest, I never had to audition. I was directly called for a look test. They said if we like you, then you can come and give us a look test. During the lockdown, I recall they didn’t reduce my payment, but they asked if they could withhold my one week’s payment because at that time I was doing Baalveer. They asked if they could keep my payment for one week. Given the global emergency, I realize I might face financial difficulties because after this, I won’t have any income, and I can’t touch my savings before that. Some savings are meant to be kept aside and untouched because they’re assets. You can’t just sell your assets or use them for daily expenses. I couldn’t do anything about it, and I know those 7 days really shook up my budget.”

Pavitra Punia’s father had an accident on December 27, 2020. Due to this accident, her father suffered from paralysis in his lower body, and that became a bigger concern for her than the Covid situation at that time. Explaining how she was also not having any work at that moment to support her family, se said, “More than the lockdown, the most challenging time for me was when I came out of Bigg Boss. It was the darkest period of my life when I didn’t have work, and the money I earned from Bigg Boss had run out while taking care of my family. It’s not about being rich, but rather about responsibility. For instance, if I’m in a hospital, I wouldn’t ask my mother for her credit or debit card. It’s a child’s responsibility. When you’re an earning member, you want to do everything you can for your parents. After coming out of Bigg Boss on November 28th, my life took a drastic turn when, on December 27th, my father met with an accident.”

Pavitra Punia on having suicidal thoughts

After exiting Bigg Boss 14, the first year and a half proved to be a challenging period for Pavitra Punia. She revealed that she fell into depression and even struggled with thoughts of suicide during this time. Pavitra credited her parents for helping her overcome this dark phase of her life.

She shared that her faith played a crucial role in her recovery. Being deeply religious and a devotee of Maa Durga, Pavitra strengthened her spiritual connection during this time. She began the year with a visit to Maa Vaishno Devi and, more recently, traveled to Ayodhya to seek blessings from Ramlala.

Pavitra Punia opens up about her breakup with Eijaz Khan

Pavitra met Eijaz Khan during their stint on Bigg Boss 14. She said: “Soch nahi milti hai. Aap try toh bahut karte hai. Logon ko yeh question mark rehta hai ke teen saal ke baat pata chala ki soch nahi milti hai. (Our thoughts didn’t match. You do try a lot. People have this question mark that after three years you got to know you’re thinking didn’t match).” “Teen saal aap try karte ho. Bhaag thodi na jaate hai situations ke saath. So we were trying. It didn’t work out. (Trying after three years, you can’t run away from situations. So we were trying. It didn’t work out).”

She added, “Why to get into a relationship, jisme aage chalkar aur bhi complications ho sakte hai. Woh cheez behter hai ki woh cheez khatam. (Why to get into a relationship knowing that there will be complications. It is better if we finish it).”

Shweta Tiwari breaks silence on Palak Tiwari and Ibrahim Ali Khan’s dating rumours: ‘Only last for…they will forget’ https://www.india.com/entertainment/shweta-tiwari-breaks-silence-on-palak-tiwari-and-ibrahim-ali-khans-dating-rumours-only-last-for-they-will-forget-7503175/ Mon, 30 Dec 2024 13:42:26 +0000 https://www.india.com/?p=7503175 Reports of Palak Tiwari and Ibrahim Ali Khan dating have been making waves for a while now. However, both Palak and Ibrahim have maintained that they are just good friends. Recently, Palak’s mother, actress Shweta Tiwari, shared her thoughts on the rumours in an interview. Shweta revealed that such gossip doesn’t bother her anymore.

“Rumours don’t bother me anymore, in all these years I have realized people’s memory only last for 4 hours. They will forget the news after that, so why bother? As per rumours, my daughter is dating every third guy, and I am getting married every year. As per the internet, I am already married thrice. These things don’t affect me now, earlier they did when social media was not there and when some journalist never liked writing good things about you. Negativity about actors sell. After dealing with that era, this doesn’t affect me,” Shweta said.

The dating rumours started in 2022 when Palak and Ibrahim were photographed together by paparazzi. They were later spotted attending a concert in Mumbai, fueling speculations about their relationship.

Palak, however, clarified the rumours in an interview with Siddharth Kannan. “We were just hanging out and got clicked. That’s it. We were part of a larger group, but the photos made it look like it was just us. People preferred that narrative. He’s a sweet guy, and we’re nice friends, nothing more. We talk occasionally, and that’s all”.

Kriti Sanon once started crying in vanity due to…, she said ‘there is no… left now’ https://www.india.com/entertainment/kriti-sanon-once-started-crying-in-vanity-due-to-she-said-there-is-no-left-now-7503063/ Mon, 30 Dec 2024 11:58:55 +0000 https://www.india.com/?p=7503063 Bollywood actress Kriti Sanon recently shared how hectic schedules and constant film promotions can affect an actor’s mental health. Speaking in Ranveer Allahbadia’s podcast, Kriti revealed she almost had a breakdown during the promotional campaign for her film Bhediya. “Promotions can be very exhausting,” she explained. The actress mentioned that in the same year, she had two or three movie releases, so promoting Bhediya felt particularly overwhelming. Kriti and co-star Varun Dhawan traveled to multiple cities, often on late-night flights, repeating interviews and schedules daily. Reflecting on the monotony, she joked, “I wished I could record my answers and just play them. By the end, Varun and I knew each other’s answers by heart!”

Kriti shared a vulnerable moment when she broke down while preparing for a reality show appearance on the final day of the Bhediya promotions. “I was in my vanity van and suddenly started crying. I told everyone, ‘I’m tired, I can’t do this anymore.’ It was emotionally draining, and everyone around me was shocked,” she said, adding that such situations deeply impact mental health.

While Kriti loves acting, she admitted that the additional pressures in the film industry can feel overwhelming. To cope, she sometimes rebels against expectations. Sharing an amusing anecdote, Kriti recalled refusing to attend a photoshoot, despite warnings from her stylist that she’d have to buy the outfit. “I bought it, only to regret spending the money later,” Kriti laughed.

Kriti Sanon was last seen in Do Patti, released on Netflix. In the film, she played dual roles and also turned producer for the first time. Written by Kanika Dhillon, Do Patti reunited Kriti with Kajol, her co-star from the 2015 movie Dilwale.

‘You don’t have a…’: Netizens slam Govinda’s daughter Tina Ahuja for criticising Bombay girls for complaining about periods, in Punjab… https://www.india.com/entertainment/you-dont-have-a-netizens-slam-govindas-daughter-tina-ahuja-for-criticising-bombay-girls-for-complaining-about-periods-in-punjab-7500820/ Sun, 29 Dec 2024 08:31:02 +0000 https://www.india.com/?p=7500820 Govinda and Sunita Ahuja’s daughter Tina Ahuja sparked debate online with her remarks about period cramps during an interview with Hauterrfly. Tina claimed she has never experienced period pain and added that “only Bombay girls talk about cramps.” She also suggested that women who don’t naturally experience cramps might imagine them due to psychological influence. Tina said, “I’ve mostly lived in Chandigarh and rarely heard about cramps there. It’s mostly the girls in Bombay who keep talking about it. Sometimes, being part of groups discussing these issues can lead people who don’t feel cramps to believe they do. In Punjab and smaller cities, many women don’t even realise when menopause happens.”

She further added that her body might be more “desi,” as she has never faced back pain and has a regular cycle. She attributed such issues to lifestyle choices like dieting and lack of sleep, advising girls to “eat ghee, avoid extreme diets, and get good sleep for better health.”

Her mother, Sunita, agreed, mentioning their habit of consuming a spoonful of ghee daily. However, she advised viewers to consult doctors for medical concerns, humorously warning against blaming her if people misinterpret their suggestions.

Netizens slam Tina Ahuja

A clip of their conversation was shared on Reddit, titled “Period pain is not real, guys! Trust Govinda’s wife and daughter.” Many Reddit users criticized their comments, calling them dismissive. One person wrote, “Period pain is real for many women, and dismissing it is just ignorant.” Another added, “This is a classic example of being proudly uninformed.”

A recent promo of Indian Idol featured Sangeeta Bijlani as a special guest. During the show, contestant Ritika Raj Singh surprised Sangeeta by asking if the rumours about her and Salman Khan’s wedding cards being printed were true. Ritika asked, “We heard that your and Salman sir’s wedding cards had already been printed?”

Sangeeta, along with Shreya Ghosal and Vishal Dadlani, appeared shocked by the question. However, she confirmed the rumour, saying, “Haan, wo jhut toh nahi hai”. Vishal then asked her to share the full story, saying, “So, what happened? What’s the story?”

Love life of Salman Khan and Sangeeta Bijlani ended because of…

Salman Khan and Sangeeta Bijlani began dating in 1986, and after several years, they decided to get married. Their wedding was set for May 27, 1994, and wedding invitations were even printed. However, the wedding was called off, reportedly due to Salman Khan’s infidelity. A month before the wedding, Salman was rumored to be involved with actress Somy Ali. Sangeeta reportedly caught Salman with Somy in her room. Somy later shared in an interview with Zoom that when Sangeeta walked in, she thought her relationship with Salman was over. But, Salman spoke to Sangeeta for about 10 minutes, and then returned to inform Somy that he had broken up with Sangeeta.

Somy Ali later revealed that years after causing the breakup between Salman and Sangeeta, she sincerely apologized to Sangeeta from the bottom of her heart. By that time, she realized that, as a 16-year-old, she had made a mistake and deeply regretted her actions.

Baby John box office collection day 4: Varun Dhawan film fails to… earns… -Check day wise report https://www.india.com/entertainment/baby-john-box-office-collection-day-4-varun-dhawan-film-fails-big-time-earns-only-23-crore-big-competition-pushpa-2-mufasa-check-day-wise-report-7500141/ Sun, 29 Dec 2024 03:01:10 +0000 https://www.india.com/?p=7500141 Baby John box office collection day 4: Varun Dhawan’s Baby John hit the big screens on Christmas, December 25, showcasing him in a massy, action-packed role. The film also stars Keerthy Suresh and Wamiqa Gabbi as the leading ladies, with Jackie Shroff playing the main villain. Fans were also excited to see Salman Khan’s cameo in a special scene after the climax. However, the movie received mixed reviews from critics and audiences. According to a report by sacnilk.com, Baby John, directed by Kalees and a remake of the film Theri, earned approximately Rs 4.25 crore on its fourth day at the box office.

Baby John collected Rs 19.65 crore in its first three days in India. With its fourth-day earnings, the total now stands at Rs 23.96 crore. Made on a whopping budget of Rs 180 crore, the film struggled to recover its costs and has turned out to be one of Bollywood’s biggest flops of the year.

Check day-wise earnings of Baby John:

Day India Net Collection
Day 1 [1st Wednesday] Rs 11.25 Cr
Day 2 [1st Thursday] Rs 4.75 Cr
Day 3 [1st Friday] Rs 3.65 Cr
Day 4 [1st Saturday] Rs 4.25 Cr * rough data
Day 5 [1st Sunday] Rs 0.06 Cr (yet to come)
Total Rs 23.96 Cr

Baby John’s reason of failure at the box office

Baby John is facing tough competition at the box office from two major releases – Pushpa 2: The Rule, starring Allu Arjun, Rashmika Mandanna, and Fahadh Faasil, and the Hollywood animated musical Mufasa: The Lion King. According to early estimates, Pushpa 2 earned Rs 11 crore, while Mufasa collected Rs 9 crore on Saturday. Pushpa 2 was released on December 5, while Mufasa hit theatres on December 20.

While the film aimed to be a mass-market entertainer, the execution might not have connected well with viewers, limiting its reach.

Her career took a major leap when she participated in the popular and controversial reality show, Bigg Boss 13. On this show, she met TV star Sidharth Shukla, and the two developed a close friendship. Over time, this friendship blossomed into a love for Shehnaaz. There were reports that the two dated after coming out of the reality show. Shehnaaz and Sidharth were called Sidnaaz together by their fans.

However, tragedy struck on September 2, 2021, when Sidharth Shukla suddenly passed away due to a heart attack. His untimely demise left not just Shehnaaz Gill but the entire industry in shock. The bond between Sidharth and Shehnaaz was adored by fans, and the duo was often spotted together even after Bigg Boss 13 ended.

Sidharth’s loss was a deeply challenging time for Shehnaaz, but she showed immense strength, gradually picked herself up and started afresh in both her personal life and career.

Shehnaaz often finds ways to remember Sidharth, keeping his memory alive. Recently, a video of her has been making rounds on social media, capturing yet another moment of her fondly recalling him.

I can see it in your eyes and on your face, isn’t that true?” Shehnaaz, smiling playfully, responds, “I’m not going to tell you.” To this, the girl suggests, “Just think of the first letter, and I’ll figure it out.”
Shehnaaz closes her eyes, smiling. The girl then says, “You’re thinking of a name starting with the letter ‘S,’ right?” Shehnaaz nods with a laugh and replies, “Yes.” The girl then asks her to focus on the last letter of the name. After thinking for a moment, Shehnaaz confirms, “It’s ‘A.’” The girl continues and confidently guesses, “You’re thinking of Siddharth Shukla, aren’t you?” Shehnaaz, visibly surprised, responds, “Yes, very good, but how is this even possible?” To this, the girl simply replies, “It’s magic.”
