Govinda's Wife Sunita Ahuja Slams His Career Choices: ‘Wasting Time, Not Losing Weight'
Last Updated: Govinda's wife Sunita Ahuja calls him out for not working, refusing to lose weight, and living in the past while fans still miss him on screen. Govinda, one of Bollywood's most beloved stars, has been missing from the big screen for quite some time now. While fans eagerly await his return, his wife Sunita Ahuja has spoken about the reasons behind his absence, and she isn't holding back. In a recent chat with Instant Bollywood, Sunita revealed that while she rarely fights with Govinda, she does get upset about one particular issue—his lack of work. 'I never fight with Govinda about anything, only about one thing. Go work. The public is missing you," she said bluntly. Sunita shared that while the actor is now considering producing his own films, she's not entirely on board with his vision. 'He is now thinking of making his own films. But I don't want him to make movies like the 90s. That era is over. Today's subjects… you see where cinema is going today. I want him to watch Netflix, OTT, and see what's trending." She didn't hold back while talking about his health either. 'I tell him to lose weight. He should lose at least 20 kilos," she said, recalling how Govinda once promised to return with a physique like Sylvester Stallone's. 'I told him, I don't think that's happening in this lifetime, and in the next life, I don't want you as my husband. I want you as my son." Sunita also blamed those in Govinda's inner circle for his career stagnation. 'You're wasting your time because of the Yes-men around you. They aren't teaching you good things," she said, adding that he continues to surround himself with the wrong kind of people—unknown music directors and writers—and refuses to adapt to modern-day filmmaking. 'He gets angry that I speak the truth to his face," she concluded. 'But you are not giving me money, so why should I flatter you? I am not here to flatter anyone." First Published:

Dipshikkha Nagppal Says Shah Rukh Khan Was 'Rude' To Her On Koyla Sets: 'It Hurt My Ego'
For many who grew up watching Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, Shah Rukh Khan wasn't just a movie star — he was the ultimate romantic hero. Actor Dipshikkha Nagppal was no different. She recently opened up about her experience of working with SRK for the first time, and how his behaviour on set left her both hurt and determined. Speaking to Instant Bollywood, Dipshikkha recalled that she was completely smitten by SRK's on-screen persona when she joined the cast of Rakesh Roshan's 1997 action film Koyla. 'When Shah Rukh came, he was smoking. So Rakesh ji came in and said, 'Do you know Dipshikkha?' He said, 'She is a fantastic actress.' Rakesh ji was very impressed with me. Shah Rukh said, 'Yeah, let's see.' It hurt my ego. He was so rude. I was like, 'This is Shah Rukh. I love him.' Then I took it as a challenge." She remembered how nervous she felt before filming her first scene with the superstar. 'My first scene was that I am dying in his arms. So I was nervous wondering how it will happen," she shared. Though the scene was eventually removed from the final cut, it stayed with her. 'I remember the scene. I can still smell his aura." Despite the awkward start, Dipshikkha revealed that their professional relationship evolved positively over time. 'Ratan Jain (producer) told me after Baadshah that Shah Rukh recommended my name. Shah Rukh never revealed it. That's his greatness." She noted that while they became friendly during future projects, she always remained focused on her work. 'Later, we became friends but I would only pay attention to my work. I would work with dedication and maybe, he noticed that but he recommended me for Baadshah. I didn't know that." Reflecting on the turning point in her career, Dipshikkha said, 'I said, 'Thank you, Shah Rukh that you said let's see' because had he not said it, then maybe I wouldn't be in that film." Dipshikkha, who has starred in films like Partner, Jaanam Samjha Karo, and Dillagi, was most recently seen in the legal drama web series Raisinghani VS Raisinghani and the TV show Ishq Jabariya. Her early experience with Shah Rukh Khan left a lasting impression—one that shaped her work ethic and determination in the industry.

Ranbir Kapoor was recently spotted joining Aamir Khan's house party ahead of Sitaare Zameen Par's release. The videos and photos have gone viral on social media. And now, another video has surfaced in which Ranbir Kapoor and Kiran Rao's son, Azad Rao Khan, are seen sharing a playful moment over a foosball game. In the video, shared by Instant Bollywood, we can see Ranbir Kapoor, dressed casually, engaged in a light-hearted foosball match with Azad. The energy between the two immediately caught netizens' attention. Azad looked completely immersed in the game, while Ranbir appeared equally invested, making the moment all the more delightful. Fans called them cutie in the comment section. Watch the video here: Currently, Ranbir Kapoor is making headlines again and it's not for his film performances, but jaw-dropping transformation. The actor, who had bulked up and sported a rugged beard for his intense role in Animal, was recently spotted looking drastically leaner and completely clean-shaven. The video of his new look has now taken the internet by storm. Also see: Karan Johar Dismisses Ego Clash Rumours Between Ranbir Kapoor And Ranveer Singh Fresh off the shoot for Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana, Ranbir has shifted gears to begin prep for Sanjay Leela Bhansali's upcoming romantic saga Love and War. In a viral clip circulating online, the actor is seen in the city sporting a fresh, clean-shaven face and a slick hairstyle, noticeably slimmer than his Animal avatar. Dressed casually in a red tee and denim from his personal label, Ranbir waved at the paparazzi, posed for pictures, and even handed his cap to one of the photographers before stepping into his car. Talking about Ramayana, just a few days back, it was also revealed that Ranbir and Yash will barely be seen sharing screen space together in Ramayana. According to sources close to the production, 'The makers have chosen to stay true to the original Valmiki text, where Lord Ram and Raavan do not encounter each other through most of the epic. Their worlds remain apart, their stories unfolding in parallel until destiny brings them face-to-face in the climactic battle. As per the original narrative, Ram learns of Raavan's existence only after Sita's abduction, and the two never meet until the battlefield confrontation in Lanka." Meanwhile, several media reports also suggest that the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has cleared the first promo of Ramayana. The 2-minute-36-second promo has received a 'U' certificate from the Mumbai Regional Office of the board. However, official confirmation regarding this is still awaited.
