'She Stinks!': When Bobby Deol Complained About Heroine's Bad Breath To 'Gupt' Director
It turned out that the actress had just eaten some 'chana chaat' with raw onions before shooting a romantic sequence with Bobby Deol
The 1997 Bollywood thriller 'Gupt' starring Bobby Deol, Kajol and Manish Koirala in the lead roles was an iconic movie most famous for the 'killer reveal' at the end. The film kept audiences at the edge of their seat, revealing the unlikeliest of characters to be the villain. As with most famous love triangle storylines, it also divided fans over whether Bobby Deol's character should have ended with Manisha Koirala or Kajol.
But do you know there is a very interesting, albeit embarrassing, episode associated with the movie? Years after the movie's release, Bobby Deol revealed during an interview to Filmfare that he had to complain to the director about a co-star's bad breath while filming a scene! And that co-star was one of the two heroines of the movie. Read on to know who it was…
The story goes that Bobby Deol was set to shoot a romantic sequence with one of the leading ladies as part of the song Bechainiyan. According to the actor, the actress had to bring her face closer to his during the sequence and that's when he smelled the stench of onion on the actress's breath. It turned out that the actress had just eaten some chana chaat with raw onions before the shoot!
Bobby Deol said during the interview that he managed to finish the scene with great difficulty but had to eventually complain to the director about the situation. 'It was a miracle that I managed to do that scene, because romance was the last thing on my mind then. But then I told everything to the director," he reportedly said.
And the actress whom he complained about? None other than Manisha Koirala!
Gupt was the second film of Bobby Deol's career and made Rs 18.23 crore at the box office.

Coolie Day 3 India Box Office Estimates: Rajinikanth crime-drama looks to do an excellent Rs 48 crore gross on 1st Saturday BUT...
Coolie, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, and starring Rajinikanth had yet another excellent day at the India box office, grossing Rs 47-48 crore. These are excellent numbers but the trend is slightly worrisome. The movie opened to collections of Rs 75.50 crore, added Rs 63.50 crore on day 2 (Independence Day holiday) and is likely putting up Rs 47.50 crore on day 3, taking the 3 day cume to Rs 186.50 crore. Going by how it is doing, the Sunday collections are going to drop down to around Rs 40 crore, giving the movie a weekend of a little over Rs 225 crore. The Day Wise India Gross Collections Of Coolie Are As Under Day India Gross Collections 1 Rs 75.50 crore 2 Rs 63.50 crore 3 Rs 47.50 crore Total Rs 186.50 crore Coolie's Rs 47.50 Crore Day 3 Is Excellent But Given How It Started, The Numbers Should Have Been Closer To Rs 60 Crore If the Saturday numbers of Coolie are seen, not taking into consideration the fact that it opened to the numbers it did, they are excellent and not many Tamil movies have really been able to manage it. The collections for the Tamil version of Coolie are on a steep fall. It is the Hindi and Telugu version collections that are sustaining to a degree. After Sunday, it is likely that the drops will be significant even for the Hindi and Telugu version. Regardless, the movie has already punched above its weight for these two versions. The underperformance in the home market will end up being the most talked thing about this Lokesh Kanagaraj directorial. If the trend is to be analysed, it will end up doing lower than what Ajith Kumar's Good Bad Ugly did in Tamil Nadu. Coolie Heads For A Rs 500 Crore Range Worldwide Finish Unless Something Surprising Happens Coolie heads for a near Rs 500 crore global finish, but even that is subject to how it holds. The global weekend of Coolie will be around Rs 375 crore and for it to add less than Rs 125 crore after that will not be seen well. All things said, Coolie will still be among the top 5 highest Kollywood grosser worldwide and that just proves how big Rajinikanth continues to be. He will have 3 films in the top 5 list and what's important to note is that it is with 3 different directors. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates.

Bobby Deol's biggest flop film, even Amitabh Bachchan, Akshay Kumar failed to save it, made for Rs 20 crore, earned just Rs..., movie is...
Bobby Deol began his Bollywood career with the 1995 hit Barsaat, immediately making waves. The early years seemed promising with a few successful films, but over time, several flops dulled his star power. What went wrong with the star-studded film? In 2004, Bobby shared screen space with legends Akshay Kumar and Amitabh Bachchan in Ab Tumhare Hawale Watan Saathiyon, directed by Anil Sharma. The film also featured Divya Khosla, Sandali Sinha, Nagma, Danny Dengzongpa, Ashutosh Rana, and Govind Namdev. Despite a Rs 20 crore budget, the film managed just Rs 11.56 crore in India and Rs 19.16 crore worldwide, making it a clear box office flop. Even the presence of top stars couldn't save it. How did Bobby Deol make his triumphant return? Fast forward to 2023, Bobby reinvented himself as a villain in Animal, starring Ranbir Kapoor and Anil Kapoor. Playing the role of Abrar Haq, he received wide acclaim for his dark, intense performance. The film shattered expectations, earning over Rs 900 crore worldwide and setting multiple box office records, reestablishing Bobby Deol as a force to be reckoned with in Bollywood. Bobby Deol's comeback Bobby Deol's journey highlights the unpredictable nature of stardom. From early hits to major flops, and now a celebrated return as a powerful villain, his story proves that reinvention and timing can revive even a fading career. Animal's success has not only brought him back into the limelight but also reminded fans why his screen presence remains magnetic.

War 2 (Hindi) Day 3 Box Office: Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR starrer drops big; Adds Rs 26 crore net on first Saturday
War 2, directed by Ayan Mukerji, and starring Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR and Kiara Advani, added Rs 26 crore on its first Saturday at the India box office for the Hindi version. If anyone would have said that War 2, on its first Saturday, would end up with identical collections as Fighter on its first Saturday, they would be laughed at. But the unexpected as happened, like it always happens in the movie industry. With a weekend trajectory that's not even as good as Fighter, War 2 is on its way to sealing a poor fate. War 2 Adds Rs 26 Crore On Day 3 In India For The Hindi Version; Packs Rs 99 Crore Net In 3 Days War 2 opened to collections of Rs 28 crore net. It grew by 55 percent on day 2 (Independence Day), to collect Rs 45 crore net. With Saturday collections coming under its non-holiday opening day collections, War 2 is headed for a sorry fate. The movie's collections stand at Rs 99 crore after 3 days and the Sunday collections may just come under Saturday's, now. Even if we assume that the Sunday collections will be identical to Saturday's, the movie will stand at Rs 125 crore after the extended weekend. To reach Rs 200 crore net is going to be an uphill task if the movie fails to do Rs 8 crore net on Monday. The Day Wise Hindi Net India Collections Of War 2 Are As Under War 2's Dubbed Versions Disappoint Too War 2's contributions from the dubbed versions aren't any good, either. The dubbed (Tamil plus Telugu) collections of War 2 are slightly under Rs 40 crore net. By the end of the weekend, it may just be Rs 45 crore net or so, giving the movie an extended net weekend of Rs 167-170 crore (Rs 200 crore gross). The overseas collections of the Ayan Mukerji directorial will be around USD 6.75-7 million (Rs 58.50 - 61 crore gross) after the extended weekend, meaning that the movie will be sitting at Rs 260 crore or so after 4 days. Unless the movie manages some sort of consolidation over the weekdays, it is ending its run in the range of Rs 350 - 375 crore gross worldwide.
