On Sunday, Anil took to Instagram and shared a collage of pictures featuring himself, Aishwarya and Satish, along with a note. He revealed that he had suggested Aishwarya’s name for the movie after watching her talent in Taal and said, “Looking back at Hamara Dil Aapke Paas Hai as it completes 25 years, my heart is filled with memories of my dearest friend Satish Kaushik. I still remember how Aishwarya became a part of this special journey. While we were shooting Taal, I was struck by her incredible talent and suggested her name to Naidu Saab and Satish ji. At first, there were some reservations, but once Satish saw her on set, he was convinced. The rest, as they say, is history.”

He added, “Ironically, just before shooting began, Aishwarya had some concerns and almost stepped away. Satish and I went to her home, had a heartfelt conversation, and thankfully, she decided to stay on board. And I’m so glad she did, because her performance was phenomenal and the film went on to become a superhit, loved by both the trade and the audience. Grateful for the memories, the magic we created, and for my friend Satish, whom I miss dearly every day. #HamaraDilAapkePaasHai.”

The 2000 romantic action drama also featured Sonali Bendre in a lead role along with Puru Raaj Kumar, Mukesh Rishi, Anupam Kher and Johnny Lever in key roles.

Janhvi Kapoor, who will be seen in Param Sundari, said that she is not a Malayali but she is interested in their culture. 

Janhvi Kapoor has been busy promoting her upcoming film Param Sundari for the last few days. After the trailer of the film was released, the actor’s accent and portrayal have received criticism from a number of performers and viewers from Kerala. Malayalam actor-singer Pavithra Menon and content creator Steffi slammed the casting of Janhvi in the film. Amid this backlash, Janhvi has now clarified the background of her character in a discussion with ET Digital.

Janhvi Kapoor’s Param Sundari is set to release in theatres on August 29.

What Janhvi said

During the interaction, which also had Sidharth Malhotra and producer Dinesh Vijan, when Janhvi was asked what drew her to the film, she said, “I was at a point in my life where I myself, more than an actor, but as a member of the audience, was dying for just a rom-com. A light-hearted romantic movie where you have a smile on your face the entire time you are watching. Here was a story that gave me the chance to go towards my roots.”

‘I’m also a huge fan of Malayalam cinema’

She added, “Of course, I’m not a Malayali, and neither was my mother, but my character is actually half-Tamilian and half-Malayali. I’ve always been very interested in that terrain and that culture, and I’m also a huge fan of Malayalam cinema as well. So yeah, I think it was just a very fun, interesting story, and I’m so happy and grateful that I could be a part of it.”

Param Sundari revolves around the cross-cultural romance between the two leads, one from Delhi and the other from Kerala. Apart from Sidharth Malhotra and Janhvi, the film also stars Rajeev Khandelwal and Aakash Dahiya in pivotal roles. Directed by Tushar Jalota, it is set to release on August 29.

Is Salman Khan not a part of No Entry Mein Entry due to Arjun Kapoor? Here’s what we know

While there has been buzz around No Entry Mein Entry, we have learnt the reason behind Salman Khan opting out of the sequel, and it’s because of Arjun Kapoor

Salman Khan, Anil Kapoor, Fardeen Khan and Bipasha Basu-starrer No Entry is about to complete 20 years since its release. And two decades later, the comic caper is getting a sequel after much anticipation No Entry Mein Entry, but with a completely new cast. While the sequel was teased and talked about multiple times in this while, with Salman Khan hinting at his return, it seems that the superstar won’t be returning for part two and we have got to know why.

Salman Khan, Arjun Kapoor and Boney Kapoor

An insider source tells us that the reason of Salman not coming back has to do not just of professional but also personal reasons. “The truth is simple: Salman’s problem lies with Boney Kapoor (producer) and Arjun Kapoor. That’s why Boney had no option but to re-cast No Entry Mein Entry instead of bringing back the original cast,” the source shares.

For the unversed, there were reports of tensions between Salman and Arjun after the latter started dating Malaika Arora, who was earlier married to Salman’s brother Arbaaz Khan, post her divorce. So, while the interest was there for Salman to return, seems like the tension was too much to overlook.

No Entry Mein Entry is reportedly being made with Varun Dhawan and Arjun Kapoor. Diljit Dosanjh was also a part of the film, but his involvement has been dicey since he got into a controversy over Sardaarji 3 release. Tamannaah Bhatia is also rumoured to have joined the film’s cast.

Recently, Boney had said in an interview that he considers it his “loss” to not have been able to retain the original cast from the film.

Janhvi Kapoor rocks stunning Madras check saree

On August 22, anonymous fashion blogger Diet Sabya shared an exclusive video of Janhvi on Instagram, captioning it: “Are we ready for the (Neo) sari gown comeback??? Janhvi wearing Amit Aggarwal couture, a custom take on the legendary Madras checks.”

Janhvi can be seen wearing a stunning Madras check saree that’s anything but traditional. This contemporary, couture-inspired take on the classic check pattern transforms into a neo-sari gown silhouette, perfectly blending the elegance of draped Indian wear with the structure of a modern gown.

The usually vibrant, summery Madras checks are reimagined in a mix of pastel and jewel tones, giving the look a fresh, fashion-forward edge. The draping is unconventional, the pallu and pleats are fused into a flowy yet tailored ensemble that flatters Janhvi’s frame beautifully.

How she styled her look

Assisted by celebrity fashion stylist Ami Patel, Janhvi accessorised her look with heritage jewels, including statement earrings, a choker necklace, and a bold ring adorning her finger. Makeup artist Savleen Kaur Manchanda enhanced her look with shimmery eyeshadow, winged eyeliner, mascara-coated lashes, flushed cheeks, plenty of highlighter, and a glossy pink lipstick. Her luscious tresses were tied in a neat bun and adorned with beautiful flowers, completing the look perfectly.

How internet reacted

Janhvi’s post quickly caught attention online, racking up tons of likes and comments. While some viewers appreciated her look, others were critical. One user wrote, “Method styling k chakkar mei the jewellery has gone down the drain.” Another added, “PC, Bebo have done this before.” One commented, “It’s giving something, just not sure what,” while another said, “This jewellery is not working in this look.” Some were more blunt: “Horrible jewellery. Gorgeous sari,” and another quipped, “My nana used to wear this dhoti.”

5 Actors Who Rejected Sanjay Leela Bhansali
Bollywood

Devdas: Salman Khan, Manoj Bajpayee To Kareena Kapoor Khan

Salman Khan To Kareena Kapoor Khan, 5 Actors Who Rejected Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Devdas! ( Photo Credit – Instagram; IMDb )

Devdas is one of the most iconic and successful films in Indian cinema’s history. It starred Shah Rukh Khan in the lead role, while Aishwarya Rai Bachchan played his love interest, Paro. Madhuri Dixit and Jackie Shroff also played pivotal roles. But did you know most of them weren’t the first choice of director Sanjay Leela Bhansali? Scroll below for some insightful details!

Based on a novel by Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay, the film revolves around a wealthy law graduate who returns from London to marry his childhood love. He delves into alcoholism and eventually destruction after his family rejects their relationship. It was the most expensive film made then, with a budget of approximately 44 crores.

Here’s a list of 5 actors who rejected Devdas:

1. Manoj Bajpayee

Manoj Bajpayee was among the possible options for the role of Chunnillal. However, he was doing only leading roles then and wanted to avoid playing a supporting character. He even openly said that he wanted to play the role of Devdas, but Sanjay Leela Bhansali had satisfactorily narrowed down on Shah Rukh Khan.

2. Govinda

The first actor in mind for Chunnillal was Govinda. He was a superstar then and did not want to play a side character. The Coolie No 1 actor also agreed to play, given the condition Shah Rukh Khan calls him and convinces him in the name of friendship. That’s what he told Sanjay Leela Bhansali, but it is unknown why things did not eventually work out.

3. Saif Ali Khan

After multiple rejections, Saif Ali Khan was approached for Chunnilal, but the actor reportedly demanded a huge paycheck. But he later clarified and claimed Sanjay Leela Bhansali closed the chapter without any discussion, so he did not really turn down the offer.

Ultimately, Jackie Shroff was roped in to play the supporting character and cine goers hailed him for his spectacular performance!

4. Kareena Kapoor Khan

Bebo had declared she would never work with Sanjay Leela Bhansali after their Devdas fallout. Kareena Kapoor Khan was finalized for the role of Paro and was even paid the signing amount. Out of the blue, she was dropped from the film and replaced by Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. It was the start of her career and a huge blow for the actress, who later rejected Bajirao Mastani.

5. Salman Khan

Many would be shocked to hear that Salman Khan was the first choice to play Devdas. SLB knew his strengths and weaknesses after they worked together in Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam.

However, Salman Khan rejected the offer, which gave a freeway for Shah Rukh Khan to be signed as Devdas. And honestly, we aren’t complaining!

“Nahi Bolti Toh Problem”: Janhvi Kapoor Hits Back At Trolls With Confidence | Glamsham.com

Bollywood actress Janhvi Kapoor has responded to the trolling she faced after a video of her chanting “Bharat Mata Ki Jai” during a Dahi Handi event went viral. The incident, which took place at a Janmashtami celebration in Ghatkopar, Mumbai, quickly became a topic of debate on social media, with many netizens questioning her choice of words at a religious event.

The Viral Video and Public Reaction

On Saturday, Janhvi attended a Janmashtami event in Mumbai, where she was seen participating in the traditional Dahi Handi festivities. As part of the celebration, she broke the matki (pot) with a coconut and shouted “Bharat Mata Ki Jai,” a slogan typically associated with patriotic events like Independence Day or Republic Day.

This spontaneous moment quickly went viral, but it was met with mixed reactions. Many people found it amusing and jokingly suggested that Janhvi had mixed up Janmashtami with national events, while others criticized her for what they called a “goof-up.” Some took to social media to label her action as inappropriate for the occasion. One user wrote on X, “I request all Bollywood celebrities, please don’t ruin Hindu festival celebrations. If you are here for promotions, kindly understand the festival and its importance.” Another user joked, “Rotated so hard between occasions and festivals this week that she forgot their names and reasons.”

Janhvi’s Clarification and Response

Rather than letting the trolling slide, Janhvi decided to respond and provide context behind the viral clip. The actress took to her Instagram stories to share the full video, explaining that the video had been edited to create a meme. In the unedited version, BJP MLA Ram Kadam is heard prompting the crowd with, “Bolo Bharat Mata Ki Jai,” before Janhvi joins in. Following the chant, she proceeds to break the matki.

“Nahi Bolti Toh Problem”: Janhvi Kapoor Hits Back At Trolls With Confidence 2

Janhvi addressed the trolls with a witty message, writing, “Just for context full video lol. Unke bolne ke baad nahi bolti toh problem, aur bolo toh bhi video ko kaat ke meme material. (laughing emoji) Waise sirf Janmashtami ke din nahi, roz bolungi Bharat mata ki jaiiiii. (If I didn’t say it after they did, that would’ve been a problem. And if I do say it, the video gets edited and turned into meme material. By the way, not just on Janmashtami — I’ll say Bharat Mata Ki Jai every single day).”

Work Front and Upcoming Film

Despite the trolling, Janhvi has kept a positive attitude and continues to focus on her work. The actress is currently promoting her upcoming film Param Sundari, where she stars opposite Sidharth Malhotra. The film, set to hit theatres on August 29, is generating considerable buzz, and Janhvi’s fans are excited to see her in a new role.

The incident, while amusing to some, highlights how easily moments can be taken out of context in today’s digital age. Despite the backlash, Janhvi’s calm and confident response proves her resilience and unwavering pride in her patriotism.
