Arjun Rampal Said He 'Enjoyed' Intimate Scenes With Kareena Kapoor, Old Comment SHOCKS All
An old statement of Arjun Rampal has resurfaced on social media, which has left netizens shocked and disappointed. Recently, a Reddit user shared a screengrab of Rampal's 2012 interview in which he had talked about getting intimate with Kareena Kapoor for Madhur Bhandarkar's movie, Heroine.
In the interview with Hindustan Times, Rampal had said, 'I enjoyed getting cosy with Bebo. I'm still cherishing shooting those love-making moments with her."
Arjun Rampal's Old Statement Shocks Netizens
Reacting to Arjun Rampal's old statement, the Reddit user wrote, 'This is so weird and unprofessional". Soon after, several others also reacted to it and expressed disappointment. 'Didn't know that people were this comfortable objectifying back then," one of the netizens wrote. 'I think back then this was a promotional tactic to get people to come watch the movie – saying there is skin show," added another. A third user called Arjun Rampal 'cheap".
What Do We Know About Heroine?
Released in 2012, Heroine stars Kareena Kapoor, Arjun Rampal, Randeep Hooda, Mugdha Godse and Divya Dutta among others in key roles. The film revolves around Mahi, an actress, who starts losing projects when her married boyfriend refuses to commit. This impacts her deeply. She slips into depression, which ultimately leads to her downfall.
When Kareena Kapoor Opened Up About Avoiding Sex Scenes
While Kareena has been a part of the showbiz world for 25 years, she has also largely avoided intimate scenes on-screen. Earlier this year, in an interview with actor and activist Gillian Anderson for The Dirty Magazine, the actress revealed that this has been a conscious choice throughout her journey in Bollywood.
'It's just the way we look at the whole idea. We don't look at sexuality or sex as a human experience. We have to start looking at and respecting that a lot more before we put it on screen. It's my belief," she had said.

THIS actress was the highest-paid actor in India, earned more than Shah Rukh Khan; Rajinikanth wanted to marry her
India's highest-paid actress is Priyanka Chopra, earning around ₹ 30 crore per film. In contrast, actor Allu Arjun is the highest-paid actor in India, taking home a whopping ₹ 300 crore for Pushpa 2: The Rule. The vast gap between these figures speaks volumes about the gender pay disparity in the industry — a stark contrast to an era when this actress was the highest-paid star in India, even earning more than Shah Rukh Khan, Salman, Chiranjeevi, Amitabh Bachchan and Rajinikanth. In fact, she was so admired that even Rajinikanth once wanted to propose to her. The actress was none other than the late Sridevi. Back in the 90s, Sridevi, often called one of India's first lady superstar, made history by becoming the first female actor to demand ₹ 1 crore for a film. She reportedly charged this amount for the 1993 release Roop Ki Rani Choron Ka Raja. The film was among the most expensive Indian movies of its time. Back then, the only actor charging more per film was Chiranjeevi. However, Sridevi quickly raised her fees, and by the mid-90s, even as Kamal Haasan and Amitabh Bachchan entered the ₹ 1-crore club, it is believed that Sridevi was commanding a higher paycheck than both of them. Even youngsters of the industry, including Shah Rukh, Salman Khan, Aamir Khan, Sunny Deol and Sanjay Dutt, were not earning close to Sridevi's fees. As per a report of Hindustan Times, they earned within the range of ₹ 50-75 lakh from 1992 to 97. The Khans entered the ₹ 1 crore club only after Sridevi quit films in the late 90s. Sridevi's unmatched versatility and pan-India stardom made her a top name across the Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu film industries. One of the few actresses who could carry films like Chandni, Gumraah, Army, and Laadla on her own, she often landed stronger roles than her peers and even charged more than many male co-stars of the time. Rajinikanth, who worked with Sridevi in Ranuva Veeran, Pokkiri Raja, and Chaalbaaz, was smitten by her. According to filmmaker K. Balachander, Balachander, Rajinikanth once went to propose to Sridevi at her house. However, just as Rajinikanth arrived, a sudden power outage took place at Sridevi's house. Rajinikanth, who is said to be superstitious, took it as a bad omen and left without conveying his feelings. It is said that he never shared his feelings with her again. Sridevi left films at the peak of her career when she got pregnant with her first child, Janhvi Kapoor, with Boney Kapoor. After the 1997 film, Judaai, she remained absent from films for nearly 15 years as she raised her daughter, Janhvi and Khushi Kapoor. The actor later made a brief comeback with the television show Malini Iyer in 2004-05. Her big-screen comeback came in 2012 with English Vinglish. She starred in films like Puli (2015) and Mom (2017) before her unfortunate death due to accidental drowning in 2018.

Neil Nitin Mukesh Calls Shah Rukh Khan, Kartik Aaryan Role Models For Outsiders: 'Nepotism Never Helped...'
Neil Nitin Mukesh says nepotism never helped him despite belonging to a film family. The actor praises Shah Rukh Khan and Kartik Aaryan as inspirations. Neil Nitin Mukesh may belong to one of Bollywood's most respected musical lineages—he is the son of playback singer Nitin Mukesh and grandson of the legendary Mukesh—but the actor insists that nepotism has never worked in his favour. In fact, he says he is still battling to land his next acting job despite his family background. In a candid conversation with Screen, Neil said he doesn't believe in the label 'nepotism" when it comes to his journey, 'I have had the privilege of being born and brought up in the film fraternity, but my struggle nullifies that word for me. It never helped me; I am still struggling to find my next job. It changes perception, yes. But when it comes to work, nobody has supported Mukesh ji, Nitin Mukesh ji or me in that regard. Three generations have faced enough struggles. We've worked very hard all our lives to sustain our craft and put food on the table." According to Neil, talent will always outweigh connections in the industry. He believes that no matter how many opportunities come your way, an actor cannot survive without skill, 'The current generation of stars… look at Shah Rukh Khan sir, isn't he the benchmark? Isn't he the idol, not just for being the biggest superstar in the world, but also for being an outsider who came and conquered? We all draw inspiration, even I do, from actors like Shah Rukh sir or Kartik Aaryan, who hails from a non-film family. He has such a simple and nice family. I love his relationship with his mother and father; it's very refreshing to see that." Neil was last seen in the musical drama series Hai Junoon, alongside Jacqueline Fernandez, Siddharth Nigam, Priyank Sharma, Anushka Sen, Sumedh Vasudev Mudgalkar, Elnaaz Norouzi, Elisha Mayor, and Kunwarr Amarjeet Singh. Directed by Abhishek Sharma, the show is currently streaming on JioHotstar. The actor has yet to announce his next project, but for now, he remains steadfast in his belief that hard work and perseverance—not lineage—are the real keys to longevity in the industry.
