Not Arjun Rampal, this actor was supposed to play villain in Shah Rukh Khan-Deepika Padukone's Om Shanti Om, rejected due to..., he is...

In glittering world of Bollywood, casting choices often remain behind the curtain, hidden from the audience's view. Yet, sometimes, these concealed decisions hold tales as captivating as the films themselves. One such intriguing anecdote revolves around a 2007 blockbuster Om Shanti Om, helmed by Farah Khan, which introduced Deepika Padukone, showcased superstar Shah Rukh Khan in dual avatars, and featured Arjun Rampal as a villain whose charm was as potent as his malevolence. But did you know that, for the negative character, Arjun was not the first choice for makers? Who was the first choice for Arjun Rampal's character? In an interview with TOI, Farah Khan shared an interesting anecdote about the casting of Om Shanti Om's negative flamboyant character Mukesh Mehra and mentioned that Arjun Rampal was never the choice for this role. Farah mentioned that casting for this entirely negative character was particularly challenging, as many actors declined the part due to its dark nature. Among those approached was Vivek Oberoi, who was offered the role but turned it down. Oberoi later explained that he had already committed to playing gangster Maya Dolas in Shootout at Lokhandwala, a role he had extensively researched and prepared for. Thus, switching to different negative character in Om Shanti Om would have been difficult at that point. How did Arjun Rampal land in Om Shanti Om? With the film's shooting imminent and no actor finalized for the antagonist, Farah Khan and Shah Rukh Khan found themselves in a predicament. At a New Year's Eve party hosted by Shah Rukh, they encountered Arjun Rampal and seized the opportunity to pitch the role to him. In a light-hearted yet desperate move, they reportedly cornered Rampal in a bathroom to narrate the script. Initially hesitant, Rampal was eventually persuaded by Shah Rukh's insistence and agreed to take on the role More about Om Shanti Om Om Shanti Om was the biggest Hindi blockbuster of 2007, earning ₹79 crore in India and over Rs 150 crore worldwide. Its mix of reincarnation, music, and star power, including SRK's dual role, Arjun Rampal's villanous shade and Deepika's debut made it a mass hit. The 'Deewangi Deewangi' song with 31 celeb cameos added to its appeal.

Meet Jyothika's real sister who was once a popular actress, her brother-in-law is a superstar, she is..., not Nagma

Indian cinema has seen many leading ladies rise across languages, but few manage to balance South and Bollywood fame. Jyothika is one of them. Known for her striking presence in Chandramukhi, she later married superstar Surya and stepped back from films. After years of being selective, she made a powerful comeback, recently seen in Ajay Devgn's Shaitaan and as Rajkummar Rao's mother in Srikanth. How did she begin her journey? Before Bollywood, Jyothika carved her place in Tamil cinema. She earned praise for her Malayalam film opposite Mammootty (Kadhal de Kore). Unlike many, she never rushed into projects—her choices have always been about depth rather than numbers. Where does Nagma fit in? Long before Jyothika's entry, her elder sister Nagma was already a known name. She had worked with Rajinikanth in Baasha, becoming one of Tamil cinema's top actresses. But after 2007, she quit films and faded from the spotlight. Recently, she was spotted at Jyothika's daughter's school function—reminding fans of her glamorous past. Are they real sisters? The truth is more layered. Nagma and Jyothika are not biological sisters but half-sisters. Jyothika's mother Seema, first married to Arvind Morarji, and from that union came Nagma. Later, Seema married filmmaker Chander, and from this marriage, Jyothika was born. Who is the forgotten sister? Not many know, but Jyothika has one more sister—Roshini. She briefly acted in Tamil, Telugu, and Kannada films, even sharing the screen with Arun Vijay in Thullithirinthaal Kalam (1998). With only six films in her career, she quietly stepped away from the limelight. Today, Roshini and Nagma live away from the cinema, while Jyothika continues to shine on-screen. Because all three sisters—Nagma, Jyothika, and Roshini—were linked to cinema, yet only Jyothika still carries the torch. Fans often share Roshini's pictures online, amazed at how closely she resembles her famous sister.
