He said during a chat with Doordarshan a while ago, "I wouldn't use harsh words like it was a flop, it wasn't a flop. It didn't get the kind of response what we expected. Later, people started liking it. It grew with word of mouth and as it was growing with publicity, it was taken off the theatres because the distributors didn't have faith in it. They thought it won't work."

This Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan co-star was divorced twice, said B-grade films destroyed her career: 'I chose the wrong movies and...'
She added, 'I made a lot of wrong film choices at that time. My grandfather used to say that no work is small or big, work is work. I think I took that too seriously.' read more Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan's co-star from Koyla and Partner Deepshikha Nagpal has revealed in an interview how doing B-Grade films had an impact on her career. The actress said, 'During that time, it used to be like if it's a new production, then it's a B-grade film, like Yash Raj and Subhash Ghai films were like A-list films. So it was difficult to understand how to choose. There was no godfather, and now I feel a godfather is very important to guide you.' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD She added, 'I made a lot of wrong film choices at that time. My grandfather used to say that no work is small or big, work is work. I think I took that too seriously, and I kept doing whatever work came my way. I did a lot of stupid films which never released.' Nagpal added, 'Some of the releases had a very bad impact on my career. I had signed a lot of big films, but after my poster in the Trade Guide, people used to judge that it's a B-grade movie she is doing, and they didn't cast me. Then I got to know that the damage is done. I said, 'Can we just forget about it?' They said, 'No, it will impact our film. '' 'Then I started doing television shows. I was doing wrong films, people were not trusting me and categorising me that I cannot be an A-lister. So then I got frustrated. It was new then—Doordarshan, Zee TV—and roles were coming to me easily. Even after doing films, I was one of the few who took TV, and it helped me establish myself again,' the actress continued. She was married to Jeet Upendra, and they separated in 2007. She then married Kaishav Arora in 2012 and got divorced in 2016.

Housefull 5 Box Office Day 2: Akshay Kumar Film Sees Strong Growth, Rakes In Rs 54 Crore
Last Updated: Housefull 5 collects Rs 54 crore in India in 2 days; Akshay Kumar film draws crowd with dual endings. The latest installment in the Housefull franchise is off to a strong start at the box office. Housefull 5, helmed by director Tarun Mansukhani, stars Akshay Kumar, Abhishek Bachchan, Riteish Deshmukh, Nargis Fakhri, Jacqueline Fernandez, and Soundarya Sharma in lead roles. After two days in theatres, the film has collected Rs 54 crore net in India. According to data from Sacnilk, the comedy entertainer earned Rs 24 crore net in India on its opening day. The worldwide collection on Day 1 stood at Rs 40 crore. Day 2, a Saturday, saw an upward trend with the film bringing in an estimated Rs 30 crore net domestically — taking the total to approximately Rs 54 crore so far. The movie maintained a nationwide occupancy of 33.18%, with figures climbing steadily through the day. Chennai, in particular, stood out with a 52% occupancy rate — a strong number for a Hindi-language comedy. With Sunday still ahead before the weekday slowdown, fans and analysts alike are watching to see how far Housefull 5 can go in its opening weekend. A major talking point around the film is its unique twist — it's been released with two alternate endings: Housefull 5 A and Housefull 5 B. Director Tarun Mansukhani shared the origin of this bold move: 'Sajid (Sajid Nadiadwala) sir had this idea about 30 years ago. And finally, he brought it to Housefull 5. And that was one of the most exciting things for me as a director to make a film with two different climaxes." This fresh concept appears to be resonating with moviegoers, adding curiosity and repeat viewings to the film's appeal. However, the film is getting mixed reviews from the critics. News18 Showsha gave it 2.5 stars. An excerpt from the review read, 'What makes the movie slump even lower is the music and the number of songs pushed into the scenes and the screenplay to make the film longer. Imagine dealing with an already stretched script, and then you have to tolerate even the unnecessary dance numbers. If this is the standard of comedy we get from the Housefull franchise, then Nadiadwala has to step up and raise the bar in the next instalment."

India's highest-paid comedian, once sold eggs on street, then charged more than Rajesh Khanna, Amitabh Bachchan, Dharmendra, used to scare heroes with his…, name was…
Names like Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Prabhas, are highest-paid actors today, charging over Rs 150 crore per film precisely. These superstars headline mass entertainers, the genre that majorly dominates the box office. So, it would be difficult to imagine a time when the title of India's highest-paid actor was once held by a comedian. Well, today we will be discussing this talented artist whose impeccable films and hilarious performances etched his name in the Indian Industry forever. In 1960s, he wasn't just India's leading comedian, but also a bankable star in his own right. He was none other than Mehmood, son of Mumtaz Ali, who was a dancer and actor in Bombay Talkies. Mehmood's family faced severe financial challenges due to which his father fell into alcoholism and lost his career. Due to unfortunate circumstances, he became the sole earner of his family. To make ends meet, Mehmood did several odd jobs to survive. He worked as a driver, sold eggs on street, also became a horse-riding instructor and tennis coach. During this difficult phase, he managed to enter the film industry and stared working as a junior artiste. In 1950s, he made his name as comic character actor by appearing in supporting roles like CID and Pyasa. Following that, he led many successful films like Padosan, Bhoot Bungla, Johar Mehmood in Hong Kong, Bombay to Goa, and became the highest-paid actor in the country. Reportedly, Mehmood used to charge Rs 7.5 lakh for just two-week cameos in films at the time. Even superstars like Rajesh Khanna, Amitabh Bachchan, Dharmendra, Shammi Kapoor were not able to cross this mark until mid-70s. The ace comedian's presence intimated heroes to an extent that they would reject starring with him in the same film. In 1996, he released Dushman Duniya Ka , his final directorial. His final on-screen appearance was in Ghar Bazar , a box office flop. The actor passed away in 2004, leaving millions of his fans shattered and heartbroken.
