Neil Nitin Mukesh made his film debut in 2007 with Sriram Raghavan’s Johnny Gaddaar and later gained recognition in Kabir Khan’s New York. However, he has often voiced frustration over the lack of opportunities, noting in a recent interview that while some actors continue to get roles despite multiple flops, he was told his career was over after just a few box office setbacks. In a conversation on Varinder Chawla’s YouTube channel, Neil Nitin Mukesh reflected on how the industry often judges actors solely on box office numbers, overlooking the appreciation their performances receive. He noted that even when an actor plays a key role in a star-led big-budget film, the film’s success rarely translates into recognition for them. Citing his most commercially successful project, Prem Ratan Dhan Payo, Neil said, “Unfortunately, if you are a part of a big film and you are playing a significant part of that film… consider me a part of that success as well. But you will give the credit to som...

Actress Parul Gulati is all set to surprise the audiences with a powerful and gritty avatar in her upcoming web series Donali, where she plays the role of a dacoit. To bring authenticity and realism to her character, Parul underwent intense training in handling firearms, specifically learning to fire and hold weapons like the desi katta and double-barrel rifles. Parul left no stone unturned in preparing for this demanding character. Her commitment to perfecting the look and feel of a real-life dacoit took her deep into the world of gun training, learning the nuances of handling traditional Indian firearms with precision and confidence. Speaking about her preparation, Parul shared, “Playing a dacoit in Donali has been one of the most challenging yet exciting roles for me. I wanted to make sure I looked convincing while holding and firing the weapons. It wasn’t just about action, it was about attitude, body language, and authenticity. Learning to handle the desi katta and double-barrel...

Vikrant Massey’s Prithviraj is a Victor, not a Victim. In a country where historical epics are told and retold with reverence, it takes rare conviction and vision to bring something truly new. Leave it to Vikrant Massey to find gold in storytelling where most see just another historical retelling. Recently, Vikrant shared a powerful reflection on Sony TV's Chakravarti Samrat Prithviraj Chauhan, and what began as a simple appreciation post turned into a profound re-examination of how we view one of India’s most iconic rulers. Inspired by the show, Vikrant delved into his long-standing fascination with history, not as a series of dates and events, but as a mirror to our present. He challenged the commonly accepted version of events that paints Prithviraj Chauhan as the king who fell to Mohammad Ghori. Vikrant, however, offered a more layered perspective: that Prithviraj had defeated Ghori sixteen times and only lost due to deceit, not weakness. But his insight didn’t stop there. Vi...

One of the mightiest actresses of Indian Cinema, Vidya Balan, completed 20 years in Bollywood on June 10. On this joyous occasion, my mind returned to the lovely evening of June 12, 2005, when I saw her debut film Parineeta at Chandan Cinema, Mumbai. My family are hard-core movie buffs; we planned to see the flick anyway. But as luck would have it, we got invited by a distant relative, Anil Davda, also the then executive producer at VVC Films, to catch the show of the film in the Juhu theatre. I went expecting a lot from the known faces of the film, that is Saif Ali Khan, Sanjay Dutt, Dia Mirza and Raima Sen. But it was Vidya Balan, the newcomer, that stole the thunder. Until then and also after Parineeta, actresses preferred to get launched in a typical commercial film, playing the quintessential heroine. Vidya Balan went against the tide. Parineeta was a serious drama and moreover, she was given a role that not many filmmakers would offer to a newbie. Hence, kudos to late director P...

Actor Dipika Kakar, who has been away from the public eye following a major health scare, made her first appearance in a vlog shared by her husband Shoaib Ibrahim on Monday. The video marked the first time the Sasural Simar Ka actress spoke about her condition since undergoing surgery last month. Dipika expressed gratitude for the overwhelming support she received from fans, hospital staff, and strangers alike. “Bas iss waqt itna hi bolungi — aap logon ne bohot duaein ki hain, uske liye dil se thank you,” she said. “Hospital mein bhi staff, nurses, alag-alag jagahon se aake bol rahe the, 'Ma'am, aap theek ho jaoge.' Dusre patients ke relatives bhi bol rahe the, 'Hum aapke liye pray kar rahe the.' Unke apne bachhe, father hain, lekin phir bhi woh mere liye dua kar rahe the. Yeh saari cheezein bohot maayne rakhti hain (All I will say for now is – thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the prayers. Even in the hospital, staff, nurses, and people from different ...
