When Rakesh Roshan was upset with the failure of 'Koyla' starring Shah Rukh Khan and reportedly blamed Madhuri Dixit for the film not working at the box office
Shah Rukh Khan
and
Madhuri Dixit
, did not perform well at the box office. This came as a shock to people since the film had such a star cast. It had released in 1997, two years after Shah Rukh Khan attained immense stardom with 'Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge' in 1995.
As 'Koyla' flopped, Rakesh Roshan was quite disheartened and reports suggested that he blamed Madhuri Dixit for the film's failure.
There were reports that Roshan blamed Madhuri Dixit allegedly saying she wasn't "pretty enough" to win over the audience. This comment didn't go down well with many, including Madhuri herself.
In an old interview with Komal Nahta on ETC Bollywood,
Hrithik Roshan
opened up about how his father, Rakesh Roshan, was deeply affected when their film Koyla didn't do well at the box office.
Despite having Shah Rukh Khan and Madhuri Dixit in the lead roles, the film, made on a ₹12 crore budget, only managed to earn ₹28 crore worldwide.
Hrithik revealed that the failure took an emotional toll on his father, who had invested a large part of his savings into the film. He shared that Rakesh Roshan cried three times in his life, and the first time was because of Koyla's failure. The 'Krrish' actor had said, 'Ek aur time tha jab Koyla ke baad, there was some problem in the house.

Interestingly, the same year, Madhuri won the Best Actress award for 'Dil Toh Pagal Hai', which also starred Shah Rukh Khan and Karisma Kapoor. While accepting the award, she said she wanted to dedicate it to her 'so-called critics' who thought she should quit acting — a remark that many felt was a subtle response to Rakesh Roshan's alleged comment.

Sean Diddy Combs' legal team seeks his release before October sentencing; offers $50 million bond for bail
Sean 'Diddy' Combs' lawyers have asked the court to release him from jail before his sentencing in October. Early this month, he was found not guilty of charges like sex trafficking but was convicted on two lesser charges. His legal team has cited that it's unfair to keep him in jail and that his case is very 'unusual'. According to the reports of The Hollywood Reporter, Combs' legal team has filed a request asking the court to release him from the Brooklyn jail where he has been held since September. They argue that he shouldn't remain in custody, especially after he was cleared of racketeering and sex trafficking charges. However, the jury found him guilty of charges related to the Mann Act, a law that makes it illegal to transport someone across state lines for prostitution. Prosecutors said he used his power and staff to pressure two girlfriends into participating in drug-filled sex parties with male escorts, which he watched and recorded. However, the jury did not believe he broke the major laws like RICO or committed sex trafficking. His lawyers say this case is 'unusual' and claim it's 'unfair' for him to stay in jail when many others in similar situations are not detained. They also say that the Mann Act is usually used in cases where someone profits from prostitution, not in situations like this one, where it involved adults in consensual acts with no commercial gain. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Cargo Ship Meets Pirates - Watch What the Captain Does Next! Tips and Tricks His lawyers believe that the Justice Department usually avoids prosecution in such 'non-commercial' cases. The judge, Arun Subramanian, had previously denied Combs' request for release after the trial, partly due to video footage showing him assaulting his ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, in a hotel hallway footage that was shown repeatedly during the trial. However, Combs' lawyers now say he has taken responsibility and had already joined a domestic violence program before his arrest. Legal team offers $50 million bond The legal team has reportedly offered a $50 million bond to secure his release. They said Combs would stay at his home in Miami, follow all legal conditions, give up his passport, and only travel for legal matters under supervision. Combs could face up to 20 years in prison, but prosecutors are expected to ask for a sentence between 51 to 63 months. His defence team, however, is suggesting a lighter sentence of 21 to 27 months.
