Sonali Bendre recalls welcoming Michael Jackson to India in 1996
New Delhi [India], June 7 (ANI): 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. (ANI)

This actor was much more popular than Amitabh Bachchan, Jeetendra, married four times, had an alleged affair with..., died alone at 45, his name is...
Whenever we talk about the 70s, 80s, and 90s of Bollywood, the names of superstars like Amitabh Bachchan, Dharmendra, Jeetendra, Shah Rukh Khan, or Hrithik Roshan often come to our minds. But, what if we tell you that there was an actor who was ahead of all these celebs in terms of name and fame? Not only this, he was also not behind Dharmendra in looks. This star, who came into the limelight, started his journey at the young age of 4 and made his place in Indian cinema. Not only his professional life, but his personal life also remained in the headlines and people's curiosity to know about him increased. If you are wondering which actor we are talking about, then let us tell you- he is the famous and late actor Vinod Mehra. A bigger star than Amitabh and Jeetendra Vinod Mehra started his career as a child artist in the film 'Ragini' (1958). Later, he grew up and stepped into different roles, starting with 'Ek Thi Rita' (1971), and he worked in countless films. His biggest success came in 1972 with the film 'Anurag'. While Mehra's professional life was always in the headlines, his personal life was also always in the public eye. The actor's name was linked with many heroines, one of the biggest names among them was Rekha. As much success as he achieved on screen, he was equally quiet in real life. Vinod Mehra's name kept getting linked with Rekha. There were also rumours that he and Rekha were married. But neither of them ever spoke openly on this issue. Later, news of Vinod Mehra and Bindiya Goswami's link-up also made headlines. There were also speculations that Vinod Mehra had married Bindiya Goswami. However, this was never confirmed. Reports claim that Vinod Mehra was married four times. His wives were Meena Broca, Bindiya Goswami, Kiran Mehra, and Neeta Mehta. Despite being linked with many big actresses, Mehra's life remained isolated. He never found his life partner. And in 1990, shocking news came when it was known that Vinod Mehra died of a heart attack at the age of 45.
