Abhishek Bachchan is the most well-brought-up person
During a conversation with Bollywood Bubble,

called Abhishek Bachchan 'the most well-brought-up person' she had ever met. She has spoken fondly of him in the past as well. 'I spent around four years across three projects with him, and I keep saying that he is the most well-brought-up person I've met—nepo or no nepo, whatever.
He's just the most well-brought-up person,' she shared.
Admiring Abhishek's humility and self-awareness, she said: 'He makes fun of himself, which is the most endearing thing. If you see his interviews—especially when he talks about nepotism—he jokes about himself. And that, to me, shows how secure he is.'

'But the stories I've heard from him were shocking. For instance, there were times when he didn't even know he had been replaced—overnight. I was honestly shocked, because I would've never imagined he'd gone through that kind of thing. But he's never spoken about it—because I guess he never felt the need to. He's such a secure person that it's like, 'Okay, this happened. I've moved on,'' she added.
Sunny Deol's Simplicity Left a Mark
Saiyami, who worked with Sunny Deol in '
Jaat
', was struck by the actor's grounded nature and strong work ethic. Kher admired Deol's disinterest in the glamour typically associated with the film industry.

Exclusive- Aishwarya Sharma on facing the pressure of being relevant, says 'I've realised that constantly chasing relevance is exhausting'
Aishwarya Sharma has been busy focusing on fitness amid her short hiatus from TV shows. The actress is not only a talented dancer but has a knack for fitness, in an exclusive chat, Aishwarya details her regime and how she follows it so diligently. The actress also shares facing the pressure of being relevant and picking the right projects. Aishwarya's take on focusing on Fitness, "Fitness is honestly non-negotiable for me—not just for how I look, but how I feel mentally and emotionally. Being a trained dancer definitely helps because the movement has always been part of my rhythm, but I won't lie—discipline doesn't come magically. Some days I have to push myself really hard because I am lazy as well as I am energetic. I always need motivation to workout, But I've learned that when my body feels strong, everything else in life feels more manageable too. " She further shared, "I do believe in honesty, but there's a way to say things. I've learned that being real doesn't mean being reckless. People often mistake honesty for confrontation and it's not that. I just don't believe in playing safe for the sake of pleasing everyone. That said, I'm always learning where to draw the line. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo And if I am not wrong then why should I be scared of anyone? I'd rather be remembered for being honest than for being neutral. " Aishwarya got candid about how being relevant in current times has become extremely essential, "I'd be lying if I said I don't feel that pressure. When people believe in you and invest their time and energy into you, it's natural to feel a sense of responsibility. But I've also realised that constantly chasing relevance is exhausting. So now I try to focus on creating meaningful work, even if it means taking a beat. I trust that the people who really connect with me will stay, and that's enough. And 'kuch toh log kahenge logon ka kaam hai kahana'.. we have to move forward that's it." Aishwarya also shared her take on the break from TV and picking the right projects, "I go by instinct a lot. I think we all have a kind of inner compass if we're willing to listen to it. For me, it's not about climbing a graph. it's about expanding my range. I want to surprise people but also surprise myself. Right now, I'm drawn to roles that scare me a little. The kind that forces me to grow, emotionally or technically. That's the kind of work I want to chase next. " Keep reading this space for more updates.

Wamiqa Gabbi Calls Out Pay Gap, Asks ‘Why Don't Male Actors' Fees Get Affected When Films Flop'
Last Updated: Wamiqa Gabbi slams pay disparity in Bollywood, asks why male actors aren't penalised when their films fail at the box office. Wamiqa Gabbi, who has steadily carved her niche in the Hindi film industry, is no longer holding back on topics others might shy away from. After the success of Bhool Chuk Maaf, which strengthened her position as a reliable performer, the actress is now speaking candidly about gender-based pay disparity in Bollywood and questioning the industry's long-standing logic behind actor remuneration. In a recent interview with Zoom, Wamiqa, who comes from a non-film background, opened up about navigating her career and the uphill battle female actors face. She pointed out how, despite proven talent and on-screen impact, women continue to be paid less than their male counterparts. 'The fact that pay disparity exists doesn't consume me," she said, 'but there is this feeling that you're a woman and you will be paid less and that is how it is. The reasoning is that a male actor can pull that much audience, but you can't make a film without the heroine. I don't understand the logic behind this. Sometimes, they take a hero and pay a lot of money, and then the film doesn't work. Why doesn't their fees get affected?" Her pointed observations have struck a chord with many who have long criticised the industry's double standards. Wamiqa went on to say that she is finding creative ways to prove her commercial worth and fight back against the pay gap. 'I want to find different ways to earn that money. I wish to do it in a creative way where I feel happier and decrease that pay gap for myself. I can't deny this fact that pay disparity is there. Not every 'male-centric' film can do without the female lead." Post-Bhool Chuk Maaf, Wamiqa is set to appear in Dil Ka Darwaza Khol Na Darling alongside Jaya Bachchan and Siddhant Chaturvedi. She also has Priyadarshan's horror-comedy Bhooth Bangla with Akshay Kumar, Tabu, and Paresh Rawal, and will headline the Telugu action-thriller Goodachari 2 with Adivi Sesh.
