Mr India Shubham Sharma: My mission is to win Mister Supranational 2025 for India
Mr India Shubham Sharma, who will be representing India at the stage of Mister Supranational 2025 later this month, calls the opportunity an 'honour and a privilege'. He shares, 'I always wanted to join the Indian Army and I also prepared for it back in 2023. But now representing India as Mr. India, I feel half of my dream has come true. Now my main mission is to win the title for India because it's been a long time since we won.' Shubham Sharma's entry into pageantry happened after he failed to clear his exam for the army, and he won in his first try. Now, with his title and influence, he wants to create a positive impact in the society. 'For me, my win is about my purpose. I always wanted to help underprivileged children, and it's my ground up initiative project (an initiative by Mister Supranational) too—Kickstarting Dreams. I want to help children who don't have the access to sports. I want to give them a community where they can flourish their interest and love for it. I am also a fitness trainer, so I also want to promote fitness and healthcare,' he says. While India has had a great track record at the international pageant, with even one winner in the past, Prathamesh Maulingkar in 2018, the nation has not placed in the last two editions. 'India had been out of form at the pageant for the last two editions, but I am sure this year will bring the change,' Shubham says confidently. Admitting that he was an introverted kid growing up, Shubham says that winning Mr India helped him open up. 'My father has said that when I come back, I should have a friend in every country I go to. So, I should make friends with everyone,' he says, sharing his career plans post his Supra journey: 'I always wanted to be a model, but after Supra, I want to pursue acting too. I want to play different characters that connect with people.'

Meet Rekha's first hero, bigger star than Amitabh Bachchan, Vinod Khanna, career got ruined after he went to jail due to..., name was...
Bollywood has seen many legendary stars who have elevated Hindi cinema, including icons like Amitabh Bachchan, Raj Kapoor, Manoj Kumar, Vinod Khanna, and Dharmendra. Among them was one actor who, at his peak, even surpassed the fame of Big B and the Kapoors. However, fate took a harsh turn. From being a top star, he faced a steep downfall and was later entangled in legal trouble following his wife's suicide, which even led him to jail. Let's identify who this actor was. The First Hero Of Rekha Here we are talking about veteran actor Naveen Nischol, who ventured into modelling after finishing school and even cleared the major round of Mr. India competition held in Delhi during the 1960s. While travelling to Mumbai for the final round, he met his father's friend, renowned filmmaker Mohan Segal. After a while, Segal advised Naveen to join the Film Institute in Pune to gain proper training in cinema. In upcoming years, Mohan Segal gave Naveen his big break and featured him opposite Rekha in 'Sawan Bhadon', which became debut film for both future stars and he initially became the first hero to feature with the legendary actress. Became Bigger Than Amitabh Bachchan, Vinod Khanna Released in 1970, the debut film of Naveen became a major hit, which gave him instant fame. Filmmakers began approaching him eagerly, and he went on to star in films like 'Victoria No. 203,' 'Dhund', and 'Hanste Zakhm.' At a point, he was even regarded as a bigger star than Amitabh Bachchan, Dharmendra and Vinod Khanna. Interestingly, Amitabh played a negative role in 1971 romantic drama 'Parwana', while Naveen was the lead with veteran actress Yogita Baali. However, by the mid-70s, box office failures began affecting Naveen's career, pushing him toward supporting and character roles, which caused a huge downfall in his career graph. When Naveen Landed Into A Serious Legal Trouble Naveen Nischol's first marriage was to Neelu Kapoor, who was the niece of Dev Anand and sister of renowned filmmaker Shekhar Kapur. However, rumours of his involvement with actress Padmini Kapila led to the breakdown of the marriage that later turned into divorce. He later tied the knot with Geetanjali, who was previously divorced. On April 22, 2006, Geetanjali committed suicide and left a note in which she accused Naveen of mental harassment and alleged that his brother Praveen, encouraged it. The note mentioned ' I, Geetanjali Navin Nischol, am committing suicide because Shri Navinji is an alcoholic and is beyond reform, because of his alcoholism, I am mentally tortured by him and he is being instigated by Pravin Nischol to torture me and I hold Pravin responsible for all this torture to me.' As a result, both Naveen and Praveen were taken into police custody until May 6, 2006. According to India Today, their lawyer Satish Maneshinde stated that Geetanjali was battling depression and alcoholism. The two were eventually released. On March 19, 2011 Naveen took his last breath as the actor suffered a cardiac arrest.

Mr India Turns 38: Amrish Puri's Grandson Vardhaan Celebrates Iconic Villain Mogambo
Last Updated: Amrish Puri's grandson, actor Vardhaan Puri, celebrates 38 years of Mr India on May 25. He highlighted his grandfather's role as the iconic villain, Mogambo. Actor Vardhaan Puri, who is the grandson of Hindi cinema legend Amrish Puri, is celebrating 38 years of the science fiction film 'Mr India' in which his grandfather essayed the iconic role of Mogambo. Vardhaan spoke about how the portrayal of the antagonist, who had nefarious intentions for society, continues to resonate globally with the audience of all age groups. The actor spoke with IANS, as he shared a piece of his heart celebrating Hindi cinema's favourite villain and character actor, Amrish Puri. Vardhaan told IANS, 'Mogambo is one of the most iconic characters globally and his relevance only keeps growing with time. The impact the dialogue 'Mogambo, Khush Hua' has had around the world of cinema bears testament to how my grandfather Amrish Puri, director Shekhar Kapur and writer Javed Akhtar curated art in its truest form". He further mentioned, 'From the dialogue delivery, the large bulging eyes, and deep baritone to the golden and black costume, wig, rings and baton in hand – his character design and interpretation of Mogambo has been most loved by cinegoers alike worldover, but especially children. They are his biggest fans". 'Mr. India' was directed by legendary filmmaker Shekhar Kapur off a script by veteran screenwriting duo Salim-Javed. It was their last film together before they parted ways. The film told the story of Arun, a street violinist and philanthropist who rents an old house to take care of orphans, and how he becomes invisible to counter Mogambo, a criminal whose goal is to conquer India. Mogambo operates from his hidden island, and monitors all the evil-doings perpetrated by his henchmen. Catchphrases like 'Mogambo khush hua" and 'Hail Mogambo!" used by his subordinates, show his complete authority over his minions. Vardhaan added, 'A lot of the credit for Mogambo's magic goes to Shekhar Kapur sir for advising him to treat the role as though he was performing Shakespeare for 8 year old children, because once a child starts loving a villain, you know you've created something immortal and iconic". Vardhaan made his debut with 'Yeh Saali Aashiqui' and was last seen in the digital film 'Bobby Aur Rishi Ki Love Story' directed by Kunal Kohli.
