Meet actress who called off her wedding, fell for a married superstar, changed religion to become his second wife, her name is...
Romantic pairs have always been a big draw in Hindi cinema. From Rekha–Jeetendra to Amitabh–Rekha, audiences celebrated on-screen chemistry as a guarantee of box office success. But when it came to real weddings, drama often outshone the films themselves. Hema Malini's marriage to Dharmendra in May 1980 became one such tale — layered with proposals, heartbreak, and faith itself being rewritten. Who else wanted to marry Hema Malini? It wasn't only Dharmendra. At least three big stars once hoped to wed her. Sanjeev Kumar had even proposed twice, but Hema refused both times. He sent his proposal through Jeetendra, who, seizing the moment, also placed his own offer before Hema. This time she didn't say no. Their families gave consent, and Hema's mother, Jaya Chakravarthy, strongly supported the match. How did the temple wedding collapse? Hema and Jeetendra were almost married at the Tirupati temple. But destiny flipped when Jeetendra's childhood love, Shobha Sippy, rushed to Dharmendra, pleading for help. Shocked at Hema's sudden closeness with Jeetendra, Dharmendra accompanied Shobha on a private flight to stop the ceremony. At the temple, emotions clashed. Shobha confronted Jeetendra, claiming her love dated back to when she was just 14. Inside another room, Dharmendra begged Hema not to go ahead with Jeetendra. The families felt humiliated, and the marriage plans fell apart. What role did Dharmendra play? According to Hema's biography, Dharmendra was relentless in dissuading her from marrying Jeetendra. At the same time, Shobha stood firm, declaring Jeetendra hers. Actor Sulakshana Pandit later revealed in an interview that she herself loved Sanjeev Kumar, adding yet another layer to the love tangle. How did faith seal their love? Dharmendra was already married to Prakash Kaur, who refused to divorce him. To be together, Dharmendra and Hema changed their faith and quietly tied the knot in 1979. Records show Dharmendra adopted the name Dilawar Khan Kewal Krishna, while Hema became Aisha B.R. Chakravarthy. Their nikah took place on 21 August 1979 with a mehr of Rs 1,11,000. Later, on 2 May 1980, they publicly formalised their marriage. What began as a Bollywood love triangle turned into a saga of faith, secrecy, and courage. Dharmendra and Hema's love story wasn't scripted by cinema — it was written by defiance.

Google AI Filmmaker "Flow" Drives A New Era of Storytelling
Live Events When Google initially rolled out Flow, industry insiders yawned. Another AI product, another news article. But a year down the line, the platform has radically changed the DNA of digital content creation. A humbling 100 million micro-documentaries to wildly viral short-form videos have already been created on Flow. The figure is not just remarkable; it heralds a seismic shift in the way the world creates Flow is not simply a video editor. It's an ecosystem of creativity. Imagine it as a director, cinematographer, and editor all condensed into a smooth AI-powered engine. A creator just inputs an idea, a bad script, or even a voice note, and Flow pieces together scenes, tone with visuals, cuts, audio balance, and even distribution strategies for various platforms. What took weeks of editing, costly cameras, and production crews is now possible within a few clicks and some actual magic happens in Flow's adaptive storytelling layer. While generic AI video generators are templatic, Flow learns the style of the creator. For instance, a travel YouTuber may be given cinematic wide shots composited with atmospheric soundscapes, while a teacher gets snappy transitions and clean overlays optimized for understanding. It's personalization at scale. AI doesn't spit out cookie-cutter content; it adapts with the assumption taking hold is that Flow will rapidly replace traditional production workflows entirely. Hollywood's indie film community is already tinkering with it for pre-visualization and even wide releases. Consider a future where a budding filmmaker in Nairobi or an undergraduate student in Mumbai can release studio-level short films without ever setting foot in an edit suite. Democratization of filmmaking is no longer a buzzword; Flow is making it an everyday to encourage greater creativity, Google has released a new update in AI Ultra, where they are doubling the credits to everybody using Google AI Ultra, increasing the monthly share from 12,500 to 25,000. This allows the users to produce more screen builders and clips for their sceptics would counter that this torrent of AI-created videos threatens to clog up platforms with substandard content. But numbers paint a different picture: creators who use Flow are experiencing 40% greater engagement on average, because viewers don't simply desire slick looks, they desire authentic storytelling. By stripping away technical barriers, Flow enables creators to concentrate on storytelling. That's the meanwhile, isn't taking Flow lightly as a side venture. Speculation is that the company wants to integrate YouTube deep and wide, enabling creators to create, edit, and publish within one ecosystem. Should this happen, it will shift the entire digital content landscape in Google's favour, positioning it at the centre of AI-enhanced Flow isn't just a tool; it's a cultural shift. By enabling 100 million stories to exist that otherwise might never have been told, Google has proven that AI's role in art isn't to replace humans but to unleash them. The next Spielberg might not come out of Hollywood, but out of a teenager's bedroom armed with nothing more than a laptop, an internet connection, and era of AI filmmaking has arrived, and we've only seen the opening credits.
