Sridevi was that heroine of the 80s and 90s, whose stardom could not match the stardom of even the biggest actors. In such a situation, if a new actor gets a role opposite Sridevi in his first film and that too in a Yash Raj film, it was like a dream come true. Yash Chopra gave this opportunity to a new actor in his film 'Lamhe', who used to be a top model of the 80s. This supermodel was Deepak Malhotra, who debuted opposite Sridevi in Lamhe. As soon as Deepak got this film, he felt that no one can stop his career from shining, but the exact opposite of his thinking happened to him. He got so much hatred for a 10-second scene in Lamhe that he left not only Bollywood but the country as well.

Farhan Akhtar's mother Honey Irani gave 3-4 slaps to a man and toppled over his vehicle when he groped a woman: 'You don't imagine women getting into scraps on the road'
Javed Akhtar 's ex-wife and Farhan Akhtar , Zoya Akhtar 's mother is quite a strong woman herself. While she's been away from the limelight, she's been one of the most talented writers herself. She's best known for writing some iconic movies like 'Lamhe', 'Darr', 'Kya Kehna', 'Kaho Naa. .Pyaar Hai', 'Krrish' and more. While Honey has chosen to stay away from the limelight largely, unlike the rest of her family who gets more attention, she's largely influenced her children in who they turned out to be and to always stand up for the right. Farhan Akhtar recently recounted a powerful childhood memory involving his mother that deeply influenced his moral compass. Speaking with Prakhar Gupta, the actor-filmmaker recalled an incident from the 1980s that revealed Honey's fearless nature and her uncompromising attitude toward injustice—especially when it came to violence against women. 'This happened in the '80s, and she was driving somewhere. She loved self-driving,' Farhan began, painting a vivid picture of the scene. 'She was behind a rickshaw. Meanwhile, a woman was crossing the road, and she stopped on the divider, waiting for the vehicles to pass. Seeing the woman, the person who was in the rickshaw put his hand out and groped her. My mom stopped her car immediately. She (the victim) was crying, and my mom told her to come with her in the car. ' But Honey Irani didn't stop at comforting the distressed woman. What she did next left a lasting impression on her young son. 'She made her sit in the car and started following the rickshaw. Upon catching up, she stopped the rickshaw, pulled the guy (perpetrator) out and gave him three to four slaps. She also toppled over his vehicle. Afterwards, she dropped that woman off at home,' Farhan recounted, a hint of admiration still present in his voice. Farhan further added how the incident stood out, especially because of how unconventional his mother's response was for that time. 'You don't imagine women getting into scraps on the road. So, I was blown away by that episode. It also gave me insight into when to stand up in situations like this. You can't be like, 'arrey, how sad' and move on. That was a key turning moment in my psyche. It was not just about my understanding of her, but also in terms of what she represented in that moment to that woman as well. ' On work front, Farhan will be seen next in '120 Bahadur'.

When Rajinikanth reached Sridevi's door to propose and confess his feelings but couldn't say a word
While ChaalBaaz is often remembered for the unforgettable double role portrayed by the late, legendary Sridevi, who slipped into both characters as effortlessly as water takes to its flow. Fans also fondly recall the on-screen chemistry she shared with Rajinikanth. By the time the film released, the two had already worked together in over a dozen films, becoming one of the most beloved and iconic pairs in Indian cinema. But behind the dazzling performances and cinematic camaraderie lay an unrequited love story few know. During the early years of their collaboration, Rajinikanth reportedly developed strong feelings for Sridevi. Their effortless chemistry lit up screens across Tamil, Telugu, and Hindi cinema. Yet, very few were aware that Rajinikanth once intended to ask for her hand in marriage. Filmmaker K. Balachander, who was instrumental in shaping both their careers, once shared a poignant incident: Rajinikanth had arrived at Sridevi's housewarming party, determined to confess his love. But just as he reached, a sudden power outage left the house in complete darkness. Deeply superstitious, Rajinikanth took it as a sign, an ill omen, and quietly walked away. He never spoke of his feelings again. In 1996, Sridevi went on to marry producer Boney Kapoor. Also Read | Rajinikanth recalls the only time he cried in his life: 'I was working as a coolie, my friend mocked me and gave Rs 2 for…' Their journey together had started decades earlier on the sets of the 1976 Tamil film Moondru Mudichu, directed by K. Balachander himself. Sridevi was just 13 years old at the time, portraying Rajinikanth's stepmother in what would become a landmark film for both artists. It marked Sridevi's first lead role and Rajinikanth's breakthrough performance in Tamil cinema. Off-screen, their relationship was rooted in mutual respect and enduring affection. Rajinikanth shared a close bond with Sridevi's mother, and their families remained connected for decades. When Rajinikanth fell seriously ill during the shooting of Rana, Sridevi reportedly fasted and prayed for his recovery for seven days.
