Related To Arun Jaitley & Ex-J&K FinMin, She Co-Starred With Shah Rukh Khan. The Actress Is...
Last Updated: Ridhi Dogra initially began her career in dance with Shiamak Davar's institute and later worked as a co-producer at Zoom. In the wake of Shah Rukh Khan winning his first-ever National Film Award for Jawan, actress Ridhi Dogra who played his on-screen godmother shared a heartwarming reaction. Calling herself the 'fake mother" of the actor's Jawan character, Dogra said she felt 'real joy" for what she called a long-overdue moment in his career. 'The best news. The best film. This fake mother of her Jawan son is over the moon with real joy @iamsrk congratulations bigeesssttt love to you and @Atlee_dir and entire team !!!" Dogra wrote on X (formerly Twitter) as she reacted to SRK's win for Best Actor in a Leading Role at the 71st National Film Awards. Not Just An Actress, Also Arun Jaitley's Niece While her fans know her from her performances on screen, few may know that Dogra is also related to one of India's most prominent political figures: Arun Jaitley. Her paternal aunt, Sangeeta Jaitley, was married to the late BJP leader which makes Dogra his niece. 'I have grown up around him and buji, played innumerable times with Sonali and Rohan, in his office when he was a lawyer," she wrote in a post on Instagram. In her post, Dogra also highlighted Jaitley's intellect and his ability to make anyone feel heard. ''How's your work going beta? What's new in your industry these days?' He would always ask me. And I would always feel short of words because I knew I would not know a patch of what he did about my industry but still he had this great quality to make everyone he spoke to, feel important to his time," she said. Ridhi Dogra's Journey Dogra is a well-known name in television and OTT circles. After completing her education at Apeejay School, Sheikh Sarai, and graduating in Psychology from Kamala Nehru College, Dogra initially began her career in dance with Shiamak Davar's institute and later worked as a co-producer at Zoom. She gained popularity through roles in shows like Maryada: Lekin Kab Tak?, Savitri and Woh Apna Sa for which she even won Best Actor in a Negative Role at the 2017 Gold Awards. On the web, she was seen in The Married Woman, Asur and TVF Pitchers Season 2. In 2023, she made her Bollywood debut with Lakadbaggha followed by significant roles in Jawan and Salman Khan's Tiger 3. She also appeared in The Sabarmati Report where she shared screen space with Vikrant Massey and Raashii Khanna. On the personal front, Dogra was earlier married to actor Raqesh Bapat. The two parted ways in 2019. Rahul Gandhi Alleges Threat By Arun Jaitley As Dogra's connection with Jaitley comes into focus, a recent remark by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has also brought the late BJP leader back into political discourse. During a recent event in New Delhi, Gandhi claimed that the government sent Jaitley to 'threaten" him during the farm law protests in 2020. 'I remember when I was fighting the farm laws, Arun Jaitley ji was sent to me to threaten me. He told me 'if you carry on opposing the govt, fighting the farm laws, we will have to act against you." I looked at him and said 'I don't think you have an idea who you are talking to"," he said. Notably, the late BJP leader had passed away in August 2019, almost a year before the three controversial farm laws were brought in as ordinances in June 2020. Arun Jaitley's Legacy Jaitley was a towering figure in Indian politics. He served as Finance Minister from 2014 to 2019 and also briefly held the Defence portfolio. As a key member of the Modi government, Jaitley was involved in several major reforms including the implementation of GST, the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code and banking sector overhauls. Earlier, he had served as the Leader of the Opposition in the Rajya Sabha (2009–2014) and was the Minister for Law & Justice as well as Commerce & Industry under the Vajpayee government.

Watch: Andrew Garfield Turns into Sam Altman As He Films For Artificial Outside Tech CEO's Real Life Home
Andrew Garfield has once again stepped into the tech world on-screen. This time, the actor is playing OpenAI CEO Sam Altman in Artificial, a new comedic drama directed by Luca Guadagnino. Real-time clips from the movie set in San Francisco are going viral, showing Garfield in full 'tech-bro' mode as he films outside Altman's actual home. Fans quickly picked up on his slow, calculated walk, hands tucked into his pockets, what many called the perfect Sam Altman impression. One Reddit user shared behind-the-scenes footage and captioned it, 'Andrew Garfield nailed the Sam Altman walk!' Another said, 'Got some shots of the OpenAI movie on Lombard,' confirming the shoot location. Filming took place outside Sam Altman's real house One of the biggest talking points? The fact that the movie scene was filmed right in front of Altman's real-life residence. 'What's more interesting is they're filming in front of his house…lol,' wrote one user. Someone else added, 'I asked some crew if he knew about it and they basically said 'he does now' lol.' TMZ and several X (formerly Twitter) users also posted the moment, which shows Andrew Garfield on the phone, dressed in grey slacks and a blazer, standing in front of the recognizable San Francisco property. Here's why fans are calling it a 'Social Network pipeline' Garfield's role in Artificial instantly reminded fans of his performance as Eduardo Saverin in The Social Network. One X user joked, 'The concept of Andrew Garfield playing you in a movie about your life so you know you and your company are about to be disgustingly successful. Social Network pipeline studied in film classes.' Fans pointed out the similarities between the two films, both center on real-life tech figures, boardroom drama, and rapid shifts in power. Garfield's dramatic line, 'I'm coming back for everything,' from The Social Network, is now making the rounds again online. What is 'Artificial' about? Artificial is a comedic drama based on real events at OpenAI. It focuses on the 2023 chaos when Sam Altman was briefly fired and then reinstated. Monica Barbaro stars as Mira Murati, and Ike Barinholtz plays Elon Musk. Yura Borisov is cast as Ilya Sutskever. The movie is being shot across San Francisco, including locations like Dolores Park, the Marina District, and a well-known Bay Area restaurant. Backed by Amazon MGM Studios, the film has a reported USD 40 million budget and is expected to release in 2026.

Gary Busey pleads guilty to sex offence at New Jersey convention, lawyer says he was ‘overcharged' due to celeb status
Actor Gary Busey has pleaded guilty to a sexual offence stemming from an appearance at a 2022 horror convention in New Jersey, according to his representatives and court records. Actor Gary Busey has pleaded guilty to a sexual offence. Gary Busey pleads guilty The 81-year-old Buddy Holly star's manager, Ron Sampson, said in an email Friday that the actor admitted to touching a woman's buttocks "over clothing during an 8-10 second photo op.' Busey entered a guilty plea to a single count of criminal sexual contact during a virtual hearing in state court in Camden on Thursday. What were the accusations The actor had been accused of inappropriately touching at least three women at the Monster-Mania Convention at the Doubletree Hotel in Cherry Hill, a South Jersey town and suburb of Philadelphia. Organizers of the event acknowledged at the time that an unnamed celebrity guest was "removed from the convention and instructed not to return" and that affected attendees were encouraged to contact police. Busey had been scheduled as a featured guest for all three days of the event. He was initially charged with two counts of fourth-degree criminal sexual contact, one count of attempted criminal sexual contact and one count of harassment. Busey's lawyer, Blair Zwillman, confirmed Friday that the other charges were dropped as part of a plea deal reached with prosecutors. The actor faces up to five years' probation and fines when he is sentenced 18 September. 'In my view Mr. Busey was 'overcharged' probably based on his star status,' Zwillman said in an email. 'He could have just as easily been charged with the disorderly persons offense of harassment by 'offensive touching'.' Spokespersons for Camden County prosecutors didn't immediately respond to an email seeking comment Friday. About Gary Busey Busey is widely known as a character actor, largely in supporting roles, though he came to attention and was nominated for an Oscar for best actor for playing the title role in the 1978 film The Buddy Holly Story.
