Sonakshi Sinha’s Cousin Pooja Ruparel Breaks Silence On Rifts With Brothers Luv, Kussh Sinha Over Interfaith Marriage With Zaheer Iqbal

Actor Pooja Ruparel, cousin of Sonakshi Sinha, has dismissed rumours of a family rifts following Sonakshi’s interfaith marriage to actor Zaheer Iqbal. Sonakshi and Zaheer tied the knot in a private civil ceremony at her Bandra home, but the absence of her brothers, Luv and Kussh Sinha, from the wedding photos sparked speculation about tension within the family.

Speaking to Siddharth Kannan, Pooja addressed the gossip, saying, “I’m not here to give gossip. I’ve met Zaheer, and he’s one of the funniest men I’ve ever met. I love him! People are so jobless to spread such rumours. Kussh and Sonakshi worked together on a film, ‘Nikita Roy’—would that happen if they weren’t on good terms? The whole family even appeared together on ‘The Great Indian Kapil Show.’ People just love to gossip.”

She further praised the couple’s relationship, calling it full of love and warmth. “The family is very close-knit. People love to create stories out of thin air. Families have their ups and downs, but they always stand together. Just because people talk doesn’t make it true,” she said.

Who Is Pooja Ruparel?

Pooja, best known for her memorable role as Chhutki in Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, is the daughter of Bhavna Ruparel, sister to Sonakshi’s mother, Poonam Sinha. After early success in films like King Uncle and Dil Se…, Pooja shifted her focus to stand-up comedy and writing.

About Sonakshi-Zaheer

Sonakshi and Zaheer, who had been in a relationship for seven years, officially confirmed their romance with their wedding in June last year. The couple celebrated their union with a private family ceremony followed by a star-studded reception for friends and colleagues from the industry.

‘He Spend Upto 2 Lakhs On A Single Pooja’, Sunita Ahuja Opens Up On Govinda’s Astrology Beliefs

Sunita Ahuja, the wife of Bollywood veteran Govinda, has never been one to shy away from speaking her mind, and her recent revelations on Paras Chhabra’s podcast shed light on some aspects of her husband’s life that have often been kept behind closed doors. From his inclination toward astrologers to the influence of certain people around him, Sunita gave an honest account of how Govinda’s choices have sometimes caused friction in their relationship.

Sunita Ahuja Revelations About Govinda

One of the most striking revelations in the podcast was Sunita’s candidness about Govinda’s deep belief in astrology and his financial commitment to spiritual rituals. She shared that the actor often spends a significant amount of up to ₹2 lakh on a single puja, based on the advice of astrologers and pundits. While some people may be comfortable with the idea of paying for such practices, Sunita is not one to follow this path blindly.

She shared, “We have one in our house, Govinda’s pandit. He conducts pujas and charges 2 lakh rupees. I tell him to perform the puja himself. His rituals won’t work. God will only listen to his own prayers. I don’t believe in these things. Even if I donate or do any good deed, I do it with my own hands for my own good deeds. The one who is afraid gets scared.”

Sunita Ahuja

Sunita’s pragmatic approach to life contrasts with Govinda’s more spiritual inclinations, revealing the tension between their differing views. While she respects his belief system, Sunita admits that she doesn’t always agree with his actions or the people advising him. Sunita also opened up about her concerns regarding the people in Govinda’s circle. According to her, some of the friends and advisors around him often give him bad advice. In her words, these individuals have had a negative influence on the actor, leading him to make choices that are less than ideal.

Is The Ba***ds of Bollywood's Anya Singh daughter of Shah Rukh's manager Pooja Dadlani? Actor says: 'I never denied it'

Is The Ba***ds of Bollywood’s Anya Singh daughter of Shah Rukh’s manager Pooja Dadlani? Actor says: ‘I never denied it’

Aryan Khan’s debut series, The Ba***ds of Bollywood, is making waves since its release last Thursday. The show has been praised, and its scenes and dialogues are becoming viral memes, proof of success in these digital times. But a few memes have been propagating falsehoods, too. One such is the claim that Anya Singh, the actor who plays Lakshya’s talent manager Sanya on the show, is the daughter of Shah Rukh Khan’s real-life manager, Pooja Dadlani.

Anya Singh plays the manager of The Ba***ds of Bollywood protagonist Aasmaan Singh, played by Lakhsya.

Is Anya Singh Pooja Dadlani’s daughter?

There are many Instagram Reels showing a cute moment between Shah Rukh and Anya at the show’s preview launch last month, where the superstar had compared Anya’s character to Pooja Dadlani. And that’s where the confusion began, Anya feels. In an exclusive chat with HT, the actor says, “It was surprising. I think people misunderstood when Shah Rukh sir compared me to Pooja, and I think there was a hiccup in translating it.”

But then she adds with a smile, “But I never denied it.” Anya explains, “I went with it. Our show is all about myths, so I thought, ‘Why bust all of them?'”

‘Pooja and I laughed about it’

The Ba***ds of Bollywood is about an actor called Aasmaan Singh (Lakshya) who is navigating his first steps in the Hindi film industry. Anya plays Sanya, Aasmaan’s manager. Introducing the actor at the show’s preview launch in August, Shah Rukh had quipped Anya was ‘very much like my Pooja’.

The actor adds, “When I met Pooja at the screening, I told her, ‘People think I am your daughter’, and both of us just laughed about it. Neither of us was affected by it.”

The Ba***ds of Bollywood is produced by Shah Rukh’s Red Chillies Entertainment, and Anya is glad she got a chance to interact with the superstar because of her role in the show. “Shah Rukh sir knows my name today, and I only want to hug Aryan because of that,” she says.

The Ba***ds of Bollywood, directed by Aryan Khan, also stars Sahher Bambba, Bobby Deol, Mona Singh, Raghav Juyal, and Manoj Pahwa. It is streaming on Netflix.

The inaugural function was marked by a traditional lamp-lighting and pooja. Director Jeethu Joseph and producer Antony Perumbavoor joined Mohanlal at the event.

The shooting of Drishyam 3, the sequel in the Drishyam series, began at SN Law College, Poothotta in Kochi on Monday. Actor Mohanlal, who recently won the Dadasaheb Phalke Award, essays the lead role in the film.

Mohanlal shared several new photos as Drishyam 3 shooting started.

The inaugural function was marked by a traditional lamp-lighting and pooja. Director Jeethu Joseph and producer Antony Perumbavoor joined Mohanlal at the event.

Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Mohanlal shared a bunch of photos. He wrote, “Bringing Georgekutty’s world alive once again…Today marks the beginning of Drishyam 3 with the Pooja. #Drishyam3 #JeethuJoseph #AashirvadCinemas #Drishyam.”

Speaking to reporters, Mohanlal expressed his happiness over receiving Indian cinema’s highest honour. On his role as Georgekutty in Drishyam’s new series, he said, “No doubt Georgekutty will create some trouble. But I have been told not to reveal much. The suspense is the excitement and catch of Drishyam 3.”

Mohanlal said that he would be travelling to New Delhi to receive the Dadasaheb Phalke award after the movie shooting inauguration event.

Drishyam (2013) and Drishyam 2 (2021) were pan-India hits and remade in multiple languages, including Hindi, Sinhala, Mandarin and Korean.

Director Jeethu Joseph said that audiences should not come with over-expectations but with curiosity. “This film is not a thriller but a family drama, focusing on how Georgekutty’s family has changed over the last four years,” he added.

Producer Antony Perumbavoor called it an unforgettable day. He also spoke about the symbolic significance of beginning Drishyam 3 soon after Mohanlal’s award announcement.

Muzammil Ibrahim Accused Pooja Bhatt of Mistreating Outsiders And Traumatising Him At The Time of His Debut

Model-turned-actor Muzammil Ibrahim, best known for his role in Special Ops Season 2, recently shared shocking details about his early days in Bollywood and accused Pooja Bhatt of mistreating him. The actor, who first gained fame after winning the Gladrags Manhunt Contest in 2003, started his career as a model before featuring in popular music videos, including the hit track Pardesiya with Rakhi Sawant. At just 21, he made his Bollywood debut in Pooja Bhatt’s directorial film Dhokha in 2007. However, Muzammil revealed that the experience left him emotionally scarred.

In an interview, Muzammil alleged that working with Pooja Bhatt was “torturous” and described the film’s environment as highly toxic. “I had never experienced such abuse before. It was mentally exhausting and left me traumatized for years. I was the sole breadwinner for my family, so I couldn’t walk away despite the harassment,” he revealed. The actor further explained that while the crew was supportive, he faced harassment directly from the director.

Despite being offered three more films by the Bhatt camp, including Raaz 2, directed by Mohit Suri, Muzammil declined due to the painful memories of his debut experience. “When I refused their projects, they tried to damage my reputation in the media. Articles were planted to portray me as difficult to work with,” he claimed. Muzammil accused Pooja Bhatt of mistreating outsiders and breaking their confidence.

“They expect actors to behave like sycophants. I refused to bow down, and I paid the price,” he said. He also alleged discrimination on set, stating that insiders were treated like “children,” while newcomers like him were unfairly judged. The ordeal had lasting effects on Muzammil’s mental health. “It scarred me deeply. I developed insomnia because of that trauma, and I still struggle with it,” he admitted.

Pooja Batra rocks stunning black gown

For the event, Pooja truly turned up the glam meter in a stunning gown that made heads turn. She opted for a deep-cut dress featuring a sweetheart neckline and delicate tie-on detailing at the back, beautifully showcasing the sultry backless design.

The outfit came in a nude base layered with sheer black netted fabric, intricately adorned with shimmering black sequin embroidery that added just the right amount of glitz and glam. With its sleek bodycon fit, the gown hugged her frame to perfection, accentuating her curves, while the flowing maxi hemline brought in an extra dose of elegance and drama to her look.

How she styled her look

Pooja wisely kept her accessories minimal, allowing her dazzling gown to take centre stage. She styled her look with just a few statement pieces, a sleek golden bracelet, an emerald ring that added a pop of colour, a chic white handbag for contrast, and a pair of elegant golden earrings.

Her makeup was on point, featuring smoky eyeshadow, mascara-coated lashes, blushed cheeks, luminous highlighter, and a shade of nude lipstick. With her luscious tresses blow-dried in a side partition, she perfectly finished off her glam look.
