These 3 Miss Worlds Entered Bollywood - Two Pregnant Before Marriage, 3rd Created Bigger Buzz
Recalling those early days, Dia once said in an interview that she had entered the industry with Priyanka and Lara. "Priyanka had family support, but Lara and I were short of money. She invited me to stay in her small apartment. Many nights, dinner was just noodles," she said. (News18 Hindi)
Success came quickly for Priyanka and Lara with their first film, while Dia struggled through a string of flops. Yet it was in their personal lives that headlines grew more dramatic. Dia married producer Sahil Sangha in 2014 after meeting him in 2009. The two divorced by mutual consent, and in February 2021 she wed businessman Vaibhav Rekhi, announcing her pregnancy shortly afterward. (News18 Hindi)
Lara, meanwhile, had a nine-year relationship with model-actor Kelly Dorji before marrying tennis star Mahesh Bhupathi in 2011. Bhupathi, who divorced Shweta Jaishankar before the wedding, became a father just months later when Lara confirmed her pregnancy. Industry whispers often linked her fading Bollywood career to relationship distractions. (News18 Hindi)
Priyanka's trajectory was different. She delivered box office hits like Mujhse Shaadi Karogi, Krrish, Don, Barfi!, and Bajirao Mastani. But in 2018, at the height of her stardom, she surprised many by marrying American singer Nick Jonas in Udaipur and relocating to the US. Rumours in the film industry suggested her exit was hastened by a fallout with Gauri Khan amid speculation about her friendship with Shah Rukh Khan, a controversy that reportedly cost her projects.

Hema Malini recalls doing her own stunts in 'Sholay,' reveals initial disappointment with Basanti's role, and plans to show the classic to her grandchildren
As Ramesh Sippy 's 'Sholay' completed 50 years on Friday, Hema Malini looked back on her experience of playing Basanti, one of Hindi cinema's most iconic characters. Speaking to IANS, the actress revealed that during her prime years, filmmakers often wrote action sequences especially for her. 'If Hema Malini is there in the film, we must make her fight; that was the sentiment,' she laughed. In Sholay, too, she was given memorable stunt sequences, particularly the now-legendary tanga chase where Basanti bravely drives the horse cart while dacoits pursue her. 'Every scene in the film is a moving shot; nothing is static. That's why the film still feels alive after all these years,' she reflected. Wanting more from Basanti at first Interestingly, Hema admitted she wasn't thrilled when Sippy first narrated Basanti's role to her. Coming fresh off the blockbuster Seeta Aur Geeta, where she carried the film on her shoulders, she worried Basanti might be overshadowed. 'I was disappointed at first. I thought, 'Why such a small role for me when there are so many other characters?'' she recalled. It was only after Sippy assured her that Basanti's character would leave a strong emotional and cinematic impact that she agreed. Today, Basanti's witty, bold, and spirited presence is regarded as one of the most beloved parts of Sholay's timeless ensemble. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Could This NEW Collagen Blend Finally Reduce Your Cellulite?
