Sonali Bendre On Why She Received Michael Jackson At Mumbai Airport: 'Raj Thackeray's Wife...'
Last Updated: Sonali Bendre said she received great tickets for the music legend's Mumbai concert. Sonali Bendre is the only Bollywood actress to have had the opportunity to welcome the late pop sensation Michael Jackson when he visited India for his 'HIStory World Tour' in 1996. Actress Sonali Bendre, along with politician Raj Thackeray, played a key role in the grand welcome of Michael Jackson to India in 1996. Bendre was dressed in a traditional nine-yard saree and greeted Jackson at the Mumbai airport with an Indian ritual by applying tilak (a sacred mark on the forehead) and performing aarti. Now, nearly 29 years later, Sonali Bendre has opened up about the behind-the-scenes events that led her to be a part of that iconic moment. In an interview with ANI, the 'Sarfarosh' actress said that she was approached by Raj Thackeray's wife, Sharmila Thackeray, for the welcoming ceremony of Michael Jackson at the Mumbai Airport (Bombay Airport at that time). 'They told me that you need to come and do that and be somebody who got in touch with me. I think it was Sharmila, Raj's wife. Sharmila's mother and my masi (aunt) have been friends for a long time, and she said, 'Why don't you do it?' (welcoming Michael Jackson)," said Sonali Bendre. However, it was not so easy to convince the actress who was at the peak of her career at that time. She agreed to welcome Jackson at the airport, but only on one condition. 'I was like, okay, but then I want great tickets for the show and all of that with my friends. So I did it because I was getting these tickets to enter where I could take my friends and go to the show. My sister, sister's friends and all of that. We had this great seating. That's what I was so excited about when I did it," added Sonali Bendre. The 'HIStory World Tour' included Jackson visiting numerous countries and performing for millions of fans. Jackson's concert in Mumbai was a highlight of the tour, as it is fondly remembered for his cultural moment in India. At the time, Sonali Bendre was enjoying a successful run in Bollywood. After a series of early struggles, 1996 proved to be a breakthrough year for the actress as she starred in hits like 'Diljale', 'Sapoot' and 'Rakshak'. Sonali Bendre's diverse filmography includes hit films like 'Aag', 'Sarfarosh', 'Keemat', 'Hum Saath Saath Hain', 'Indra', 'Kal Ho Naa Ho' and others. First Published: June 07, 2025, 21:04 IST

‘Shah Rukh Khan and I hit it off immediately': Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos on his equation with the Bollywood star
Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos opened up about his friendship with Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan. In an interview with Nikhil Kamath, Ted talked about how Shah Rukh was one of the first celebrities he met as soon as he came to India before the release of the OTT platform's first Indian series, Sacred Games, in 2018. (Also Read: Ed Sheeran drops new song Sapphire with desi beats, Arijit Singh vocals. All Shah Rukh Khan fans care about is his cameo) Ted was asked to name an Indian celebrity who's his 'favourite' and he said that he shares a good equation with Shah Rukh. He recollected, 'Early in coming to India, I met Shah Rukh Khan right away. He hosted a very nice dinner for me, and we hit it off immediately. I've come back since, with my wife, and we've had nice times together. We visited each other in Los Angeles when his son was in school. So, having dinner with Shah Rukh Khan in India is much different than having dinner with him in Los Angeles.' Shah Rukh's son Aryan Khan's The Ba***ds of Bollywood will soon drop on Netflix. In the same interview, Ted mentioned that he was also bowled over by Sanjay Leela Bhansali and his 2024 show Heeramandi, which he says felt like a 'dare'. He said, 'Doing Heeramandi was probably one of the most creatively interesting projects I've ever worked on in India. He (Sanjay Leela Bhansali) came in with his very big vision, almost like it was a dare. I dare you to make this, it's so big. And remember, he's a cinema legend. So, the idea that he was gonna make a TV show is almost unheard of. I think he came for us to say no. And when we said yes, it was a complicated production.' Shah Rukh was last seen in the 2023 films Pathaan, Jawan and Dunki. He is now shooting for King, with director Siddharth Anand, his daughter Suhana Khan, and Abhishek Bachchan as his co-stars.

Is it worth watching Akshay Kumar-Abhishek Bachchan's Housefull 5B after 5A? The only difference is…
Housefull 5, released on 6th June, 2025, features large stellar star cast including Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh, Abhishek Bachchan, Jacqueline Fernandez, Sonam Bajwa, Nargis Fakhri, Sanjay Dutt, Jackie Shroff, Chitrangada Singh, Fardeen Khan, Nana Patekar, Chunky Pandey, Johnny Lever, Shreyas Talpade, Dino Morea, Ranjeet, Soundarya Sharma, Nikitin Dheer, and Akashdeep Sabir. Meanwhile, the makers have strategically released it in two different formats, which is A and B. We are going to tell you whether you should watch the B version after completing its A part, or not. Housefull Series Continues Its Cringefest As per the reviews, this film is just another example of why you should not touch iconic franchises and let it rest forever, because after its second installment, this franchise has presented nothing except ample amount of cringe jokes and piss poor writing, handled by Farhad Samji who can now apply to enter his name in Guiness Book of World Records for making films pathetic. The entire film offers you nothing except sleazy jokes and a male-centered environment where female actresses were only kept for objectifying their body parts, which the writer thinks will make the audience sit and watch. This multi-starrer project is a complete waste of opportunity and a lesson for other filmmakers, because here, captain of this ship, Tarun Mansukhani , has tried to fit every actor in any scene without logic, which underutilized their actual potential. This film tries hard to make us laugh with its jokes and sequences, but fails. However, Akshay Kumar, Jackie Shroff and Sanjay Dutt tried hard to bring their old comic avatar back on the big screen, but due to a lack of writing and delivery, it always bounced back. The Difference between 5A and 5B There is no difference between the parts, except the last 8 minutes. In Part A, killers are someone else, while in Part B, just to show the potential of an actress, makers have made another actor a killer. If you have already watched part A, then you don't need to witness this cringefest again; you can wait for its OTT release. At last, we just want to say that Bollywood should now learn from their mistakes because it's high time to prove the potential otherwise due to these kind of films and their ventures, we don't witness finest and best comedy-drama films.
