'Khandaan ka naam neecha…'; Karisma Kapoor was said this by..., Rishi Kapoor got angry at her after watching…
Bollywood beauty Karisma Kapoor spoke openly about her film and family before her silver screen debut. During this, the actress revealed that her father had also advised her. She said that I don't know why people think that women of the Kapoor family cannot work.
Even before making her debut in Bollywood, the actress had said many important things about her family. Karisma Kapoor gave an interview in which she talked about life in the Kapoor family and her future aspirations. In 1991, she started her career with the film 'Prem Qaidi'. Karisma, who belongs to the Kapoor family, had a lot of responsibility on her shoulders, but an old interview before her debut shows that she was fully aware of this pressure and was ready to step into the film industry.
According to a news published in the Indian Express, Karisma Kapoor said in the interview, 'I don't know why people are under the misconception that women of the Kapoor family cannot work. It was their own selection. After all, my whole family is full of actors, and my father and my uncle have married heroines. She also said that there is no restriction on women; rather her father, Randhir Kapoor, inspired her to become an actress. Karisma told that both her parents advise her to move forward, and she only does what she decides in consultation with them.
Putting her point forward, the actress had said, 'My father inspires me to act, and he always says, 'Don't let the Kapoor name down.' He stands very strongly behind me, and I take his advice. We all sit together and talk about work. I want everyone to get this thing out of their mind that the Kapoor family thinks like this.
In the same interview, Karisma Kapoor also talked about her relationship with her grandfather Raj Kapoor. She told that he was her biggest source of inspiration. I will never disappoint my grandfather, because I know that he is watching me from above and guiding me. Even when I was a child, he knew that I wanted to become an actress and he told me, 'Here you go, I know you want to become an actress, but if you become one, then become the best or don't become one at all.'
Let us tell you that in an interview given to Stardust, Karishma Kapoor had said that when people saw the film 'Prem Qaidi' and came out of the theatre, no one remembered the swimsuit. Everyone was praising my acting at that time. The most important thing for me at that time was what my parents think about this. Actually, Rishi Kapoor was already against Karishma becoming an actress and he was also angry with her because of the bikini sequence in this film. After this, this statement of Karishma came to light.

Tusshar Kapoor Reveals Father Jeetendra Has No Plans To Return To Acting: "He Is Done With It"
Mumbai: Actor Jeetendra, one of the top stars of the 1960s and 70s, has no plans to be back on the screen, says son Tusshar Kapoor. Jeetendra gave hits like "Geet Gaya Patharon Ne", "Gunahon Ka Devta", "Farz", "Humjoli" to "Caravan", "Dharam Veer", "Parichay" and "Nagin". He continued to be in top form till the '80s with credits like "Himmatwala", "Tohfa" and "Mawaali", but stopped acting by the mid-1990s and has since made only cameo or minor appearances in films post-2000. Kapoor said his father has no desire of being on a film set ever again. 'He tracks today's cinema. But he's not really interested in going on sets. He said, 'I've done somewhere 200 films'. He started so young, when he was just 20. So, he's done with that. I don't think he was ever interested in doing character roles," the actor told PTI. Kapoor said when his father called it quits on acting, he and many other senior actors were being offered only "stereotypical" roles. "The roles that were offered to senior actors were very stereotypical. Today, there are a lot of very diverse characters. But that wasn't the case back then. He decided to ease out of it. Now, he's more of a businessman," he added. Kapoor hopes his father's legacy is explored through a docudrama series. And not just Jeetendra, a project honouring Dharmendra's career should also be made. "I think dad deserves one, actors like Dharam ji and him, they don't really go out and market themselves," he said, giving the example of "Elvis", the 2022 biographical film about legendary musician Elvis Presley. "Our legends here also deserve that kind of a tribute. That generation of actors, they have such great work, we've learned from those experiences of theirs. So, I think it will be very 'masaledar' to have a docudrama of either of these icons from the 60s,' he said. The actor currently stars in the movie 'Kapkapiii', which was released in theatres on May 23.

Plot twists you never saw: 5 Bollywood films with alternate endings and why they changed
Ever walked out of a movie thinking, 'What if it ended differently?' In Bollywood, that's not just wishful thinking. Several iconic films have alternate endings planned. From tragic sacrifices to unresolved romances, some filmmakers envisioned bold, unexpected finales. However, due to pressure from producers, audience expectations, or last-minute changes, these endings were rewritten. Let's take a look at 5 Bollywood films that came close to shocking you. Also, check out the surprising reasons for the shelving of their original climaxes. 1. Sholay (1975) The iconic film Sholay, starring Amitabh Bachchan, Dharmendra, Jaya Bachchan, and Hema Malini, was also shot with two different endings. The ending we were shown didn't show Gabbar being killed. Instead, the police arrive at the right time and catch Gabbar before Thakur kills him. However, the original ending had Thakur killing Gabbar with his feet. Yes, you heard that right! In an interview with Indian Express, Ramesh Sippy revealed the reason behind it and shared that the censor board had asked to change it. They weren't happy with Gabbar being killed with feet, but Thakur had no hands, so he couldn't shoot him as well. Though the director wasn't happy about it, he had to change. 2. PK (2014) PK, starring Aamir Khan, Anushka Sharma, and Sushant Singh Rajput, even had a different ending planned. The film's ending that we were shown was Aamir's character PK returning back to earth with another alien friend (played by Ranbir Kapoor) as part of a new research team. However, the original ending was Anushka and Sushant's characters, Jaggu and Sarfaraaz, doing the Battery Recharge Dance to remember PK. Even this could have been a better ending to the film, it seems. Well, if you are wondering about the reason behind the change of climax, we have an answer for you. There were two reasons that were shared behind the change. First is the audience's desire to see PK return to Earth during test screenings. However, Aamir had once stated that the original ending was changed after the release of Inception as he found similarities between them. 3. Baazigar (1993) Baazigar, starring Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol, and Shilpa Shetty, showed that towards the end, Ajay (played by SRK) dies. However, the original ending was something different. The directors, Abbas-Mustan, wanted the demise of Ajay, but Rakhee and other distributors thought it wouldn't be a good idea, and they also shot the ending where police entered and took Shah Rukh Khan. The director revealed to PTI that this ending wasn't chosen as it wasn't conveying the emotional state of the character properly. 4. Pink (2016) Starring Amitabh Bachchan, Kirti Kulhari, and Taapsee Pannu, Pink was also planned to have a different ending at first. We saw that the girls won the case in court after so much trouble. The court's verdict affirms Minal's story and the principle of 'no means no.' However, the film was first shot differently. In the end, the girls lost the case as they had no evidence and facts to prove it. Taapsee Pannu once opened up on the reason behind the change in an interview with Bollywood Life and shared that they wanted the ending to provide some valuable message to the audience and motivate them to be strong and courageous in their lives. 5. Delhi 6 (2009) Abhishek Bachchan played the role of Roshan Mehra in the film Delhi 6, while Sonam Kapoor played the role of Bittu Sharma. In the ending, we see Roshan survive a mob attack after he turns Kala Bandar to stop Bittu's escape with her lover. He then confesses his love for her. However, things take a drastic turn when a crowd mistakes him for the real Kala Bandar and beats him up. He endures, though gravely hurt, and comes back to life after meeting his grandfather in heaven. However, the film had a different ending, and it was more tragic. In the original ending, Roshan was to die after being beaten by the mob. This could have intrigued viewers more and might be quite compelling. The film with this ending was shown at the Venice International Film Festival and received praise. The ending was reportedly altered as Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra gave in to UTV's push for a happier ending than what was initially envisioned. Bollywood has always thrived on drama, but some of its most surprising twists were never shown on screen. These alternate endings, shaped by behind-the-scenes decisions, reveal a fascinating clash between storytelling ambition and commercial demands. While audiences saw the polished versions, the untold endings add an extra dose of mystery. Sometimes, the most unexpected plot twists are the ones that never made it to the final cut.

When Shah Rukh Khan said he would never 'neglect' Gauri to chase stardom: ‘You have no right to hurt people who love you'
When Shah Rukh Khan moved from Delhi to Mumbai in the early 1990s, he was chasing a big dream, to become a film star. But even when he had nothing to his name, he had made it clear that the most important people in his life came first, no matter what. In a past to Stardust magazine in 1991, just after he had lost his mother, a young SRK spoke from the heart. He talked about his love for Gauri, who was then still his girlfriend, and why he would never sacrifice his personal life for fame. 'They are the most important people in my life' The 'My Name is Khan' actor didn't hold back, he explained how deeply he valued his relationships, with Gauri, his sister, his uncle and aunt. 'I have a personal life. I have friends, a girlfriend, uncle, aunt, sister. And they are the most important people in my life,' he said. At a time when many aspiring actors were talking about giving up their relationships to focus fully on their careers, Shah Rukh stood apart. He criticised those who bragged about breaking up with their partners for the sake of stardom. He remembered reading an interview in the same magazine where an actor proudly said he had dumped his girlfriend so he could focus on acting. Shah Rukh was disgusted. 'Love them and leave them, he said. Come on man, you're talking like a f***ing a**hole man. And then making it public. I mean, flaunting the fact that you screw them and leave them, how crass can you get? What about the moments you shared with the woman?' 'Why can't you have both?' The 'Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge' actor went on to question why people believed they had to choose between love and success. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like [Click Here] - 2025 Top Trending Search - Local network access Esseps Learn More Undo ' And I really don't understand this big sht about sacrificing this for my career and that for my career. I mean, why can't you have both? Why are you looking for excuses for your neglect towards your family or wife or girlfriend? And even if you have neglected your personal life for your professional one, what makes you so proud of it? You have no right to hurt people who love you and you tom tom about it, like a f**ing virtue. How ridiculous,' he said. Gauri was still in Delhi, Shah Rukh in Mumbai At that time, Shah Rukh had just moved to Mumbai to try his luck in films, while Gauri was still living in Delhi. It was a long-distance relationship, made even harder by his struggles and the uncertainty of the film industry. But he didn't let the distance or pressure shake his priorities. 'Their make-up room is their world' As he observed the industry around him, Shah Rukh noticed how easy it was for actors to get carried away with themselves. He didn't want to become like that. 'The fact is that most of these actors are too preoccupied with themselves to even think about anyone else. They get so involved with themselves – and it's very easy to get carried away in this profession – that they have no time and room for anyone else. It's called narcissism. Most of the people out here are like that. Their make-up room is their world and the flatterers, their family. They are so cut-up from reality. They lose themselves to this world. I wish that never happens to me. And if it does, I will be very sad,' he shared. One month later, they were married Just one month after the interview was published, Shah Rukh and Gauri got married. His big Bollywood debut in 'Deewana' came the following year in 1992, and his rise to superstardom began. But what stayed constant through it all was his relationship with Gauri — the same woman he loved before he became a star.
