Meet Jeetendra's sister-in-law, divorced her first husband, second husband died by suicide, her third marriage created a sensation, her name is…
Jayasudha is a popular South Indian actress, but you must have seen her in many Hindi films as well. Jayasudha is still remembered for Amitabh Bachchan's 'Sooryavansham'. But more than films, Jayasudha has been in the news for her personal life. There was talk of her marrying three times. The talk of her third marriage started at the age of 62, which surprised everyone. Jayasudha is the sister-in-law of Bollywood's veteran star Jeetendra. Let us tell you about Jayasudha's connection with Jeetendra and her three marriages and husbands.
Jayasudha first married film producer Vadde Ramesh's brother-in-law. Their relationship didn't survive and later got divorced. After this, Jayasudha tied the knot with Jitendra's brother and film producer Nitin Kapoor in 1985. After marriage, she became the mother of two sons. Both her sons are actors in the South film industry and are also married. Divorced her first husband, second husband committed suicide
Everything was going well in Jayasudha and Nitin Kapoor's married life. But in 2017, Nitin committed suicide. He committed suicide by jumping from the 6-storey building of his house in Andheri. It is said that Nitin Kapoor was suffering from depression for a long time. When the police searched the house, no suicide note was recovered. After this, Jayasudha was broken and raised the children alone.
There were reports of her third marriage at the age of 62. It was said that Jayasudha had married a foreign NRI. But when Jayasudha was asked about this, she laughingly told a South Indian news channel that the foreigner who was with her is a filmmaker. He wants to make a biopic on her, and that is why he is seen with her all the time.
The news of Jayasudha's third marriage started coming when a man was seen with her everywhere. It was claimed that the man was Jayasudha's third husband. But Jayasudha called that news just a rumour.
Talking about Jayasudha's career, she worked a lot in Tamil and Telugu cinema. In her five decade long career, she also appeared in Bollywood. She was well liked in the film 'Sooryavansham' . She started her acting career at the age of 13. After this, she did many films from Tamil and Telugu to Hindi, and made her own identity. Clash with Sridevi and Jaya Prada
Jayasudha had a tough competition with actresses Sridevi and Jaya Prada, who also dominated the South film industry. Jayasudha won five Filmfare Awards (South). She was also honored with the ANR National Award and Lifetime Achievement Award.

Balika Vadhu actor Avika Gor announces engagement with boyfriend Milind Chandwani: ‘Real love may not be perfect but it's magical'
Avika Gor, best known for playing the role of a child bride in the television show Balika Vadhu, announced her engagement with her longtime boyfriend Milind Chandwani, on Wednesday. Avika shared a few photos from the engagement ceremony and shared a long caption expressing her love for Milind. Avika and Milind first met each other in 2019 when she was in Hyderabad shooting for a film and they spotted each other at a party. Milind is not associated with the entertainment industry and runs an NGO in Hyderabad. Avika shared in the caption, 'He asked.. I smiled, I cried (in that order 🙈)… and screamed the easiest YES of my life! I'm full filmy — background score, slow-mo dreams, mascara running and all. He's logic, calm, and 'let's carry a first-aid kit just in case'. I manifest drama. He manages it. And somehow, we just… Fit. So when he asked, the heroine in me took over — arms in the air, tears in my eyes, and zero network in my brain. Because real love? It may not always be perfect. But, It. Is. Magical. 💫' Milind replied on the post with a 'plot twist' and shared how he was feeling as he was proposing to Avika. 'Plot Twist: The real background music was my heartbeat going at 200 BPM. 😅 You said yes, and suddenly every filmy line started making sense. 😍 Tu drama hai, main direction, aao best picture banaein 😂,' he wrote. Svika shared with love, '@milindchandwani Am I crying or Am I crying? (sic)' A post shared by Avika Gor (@avikagor) ALSO READ | Navjot Singh Sidhu says he put one condition regarding Archana Puran Singh before returning to Kapil Sharma's show: 'How can I be the reason of…' In an earlier chat on Bharti Singh's YouTube channel, Avika shared that they met through a mutual friend in Hyderabad. 'He is a 9-5 corporate guy who also runs an NGO. We met each other through a mutual friend in Hyderabad. He friend-zoned me for six months. I started liking him since day one. I was very sure about him. In the beginning, I also agreed to being friends. Mera bhi ego agaya ki hum toh hum dost hi rahenge (I also became egoistic and said let's be just friends). But within a few weeks, I was very sure about him,' she said. In the same chat, Avika shared that she would have married Milind soon after meeting him and said that she was already married to him 'in her head.' 'If it were up to me, I would have gotten married to him four years ago. I didn't need to think much. This is what it is. In my head, I am married to him. But he was sensible enough. He told me, 'You're still 26 and I am 32. Take your time to work and see what life has to offer,' she said. Avika was last seen in the Telugu film Shanmukha. In 2024, she was seen in the Hindi film Bloody Ishq.

50 million followers but not a movie in 6 years: How some ‘actors' are thriving even without film projects
At 23, Jannat Zubair Rahmani is one of the most popular Indians on social media. She has an astounding 50 million Instagram followers, more than even superstars Shah Rukh Khan and Aishwarya Rai. Her Wikipedia page may describe her as an actor, but the last time Jannat was on the big screen was way back in 2018, when she had a cameo in Rani Mukerji's Hichki. She was 16 then. As an adult, Jannat has not worked in any film or appeared in a fiction show. Yet, thanks to Instagram and immense digital popularity, she is thriving in her career. And this isn't the story of Jannat alone. A number of actors popular on social media have realised that acting projects need not be their bread and butter. Jannat's case may be an extreme one, but there are several other former child stars who are selective with the films, but sustain their popularity through social media. Avneet Kaur, 23, began her career on TV at 8, and was a household name by her teens. Since her debut as a lead actor in Tiku Weds Sheru in 2023, she has done only one more film, which released a full year ago. She has not appeared in a TV show since the pandemic began. Yet, her social media popularity keeps growing. She has 32 million followers on Instagram, and Virat Kohli's 'like' may have contributed only 5% of that. A post shared by Jannat Zubair Rahmani (@jannatzubair29) These young actors grew up as the Instagram generation. They had verified accounts in their early teens and were already garnering more followers than Bollywood A-listers before they turned 18. To paraphrase what Bane said in The Dark Knight Rises, the Millennial stars adapted to Instagram, but these Gen Z were born with it, moulded by it. They leverage it like nobody else does. Case in point - Jannat and Avneet were among the only three Indians to meet Tom Cruise at the international premiere of Mission Impossible 8. No journalists or A-list actors were invited, but their social media clout made that possible. A post shared by Avneet Kaur (@avneetkaur_13) Slowly and gradually, older, relatively more established actors have taken note, too. Take Esha Gupta, for instance. The former Miss India made her Bollywood debut with Jannat in 2012. Over the next 7 years, she appeared in 12 more films in Hindi and one each in Tamil and Telugu. But the 2019 release, One Day: Justice Delivered, was her last big-screen appearance. She has appeared in three web series since, but even the last of those - Aashram season 3 - was 3 years ago. Yet, her popularity on social media has only increased. With 19 million followers, she is an A-lister on Instagram. Neha Sharma, of Chirutha and Crook fame, was last seen in a full-length role in Jogira Sara Ra Ra in 2023. In these two years, she has added 4 million Instagram followers without any film release. Niddhi Agerwal, once called Telugu cinema's next big thing, has acted in only eight films since her debut in 2017, the last of which was released in November 2022. Yet, her 30 million Instagram followers make her one of the top choices for brands on social media. A post shared by Neha Sharma 💫 (@nehasharmaofficial) Digital marketers say that actors are simply prioritising what is actually their bread and butter. For most of these stars, earnings from social media and brands far exceed what movies or web series give them. Even active actors like Disha Patani earn more from social media. Industry sources say that the actor, who does 2-3 films a year, earns ₹5-6 crore from them, but social media and brands can net her five times that amount in a year. That disparity drives their choices.
