Remember Karisma Kapoor's sister in Coolie No 1? Worked with Govinda, Salman Khan, suddenly disappeared after few films, is now..., her name is...
Remember Karisma Kapoor's sister in Coolie No 1? Worked with Govinda, Salman Khan, suddenly disappeared after few films, is now..., her name is... 90s Actress Kanchan became a prominent name in Hindi, Telugu and Malayalam industries. She rose to fame after appearing alongside Karsima Kapoor and Govinda in Coolie No 1 . Released in 1995, the film became a major box office success and turned a cult classic in Hindi cinema's history. Kanchan played Karisma's younger sister in the film, and is still remembered for her outstanding performance in romantic comedy drama. She won hearts with her on-screen persona, and later collaborated with other stars such as Akshay Kumar and Salman Khan. Despite this, she failed to sustain longer in Bollywood. Why Kanchan failed to grab success in Bollywood? Kanchan was a well-know name in the industry, and also starred in hit films like Sanam Bewafa, Kranti Kshetra, Jumana and Paandav . She starred as a lead actress opposite Akshay Kumar in Amaanat , but the film failed to become a success, and couldn't save her career. Her innocence won audiences hearts, but gradually she lost her charm in the industry. According to reports, the superstardom of other actresses like Karisma Kapoor, Madhuri Dixit, Sridevi overshadowed her work, and she was unable to get more films in the industry. Where is Kanchan now? In the 90s, film producers and directors were majorly in search of bold actresses, instead of sweet and simple. Due to this, Kanchan's career destroyed, and she gradually faded from the limelight. She even tried her hands in the South cinema after not getting work in Bollywood. Kanchan worked in a Malayalam film Gandharvam, opposite superstar Mohanlal. The film became a huge hit at the box office. She also starred in Ajith Kumar's debut film Pustakam. Thereafter, Kanchan was seen in many popular South films, but still that couldn't help her survive. She slowly moved away from that industry as well, despite achieving considerable success. Today, no one knows about her whereabouts. Kanchan's career is a sobering example that how actors get easily replaced, despite their best efforts to sustain longer in the industry.

Olivia Rodrigo's Glastonbury set doubles as date night with Netflix heartthrob
Glastonbury Festival was buzzing with excitement this weekend—not just for the music, but for the festival's most-watched couple: Olivia Rodrigo and her boyfriend, British actor Louis Partridge . Rodrigo, 22, headlined the legendary Pyramid Stage on Sunday night, but before taking the spotlight, she was spotted living her best festival life with Partridge, sending fans and social media into a frenzy. The 'drivers license' singer didn't let the pressure of her headline slot keep her from enjoying the festival. On Saturday, Rodrigo was seen perched on Partridge's shoulders, belting out Pulp's 'Common People' during the band's surprise set—a moment captured by festival-goers and even radio DJ Greg James, who playfully pointed her out in the crowd. The couple's festival antics didn't stop there: they were also seen mingling with Glasto royalty Alexa Chung, cementing their status as the event's coolest couple. Louis Partridge, also 22, is best known for his breakout roles in Netflix 's 'Enola Holmes' films alongside Millie Bobby Brown, as well as parts in 'Paddington 2,' 'Pan,' and the FX miniseries 'Pistol.' He's currently filming the third 'Enola Holmes' movie and recently starred in the miniseries 'Disclaimer' with Cate Blanchett and Kevin Kline. Rodrigo and Partridge have been dating since late 2023, first making headlines for their PDA-filled Halloween night in London, and later going red carpet official at the 'Disclaimer' premiere in August 2024. Since then, the pair have been inseparable—spotted at Premier League matches, strolling through London and New York, and attending the Grammys together. Rodrigo's set at Glastonbury was both electric and personal. She dedicated her song 'so american' to Partridge, telling the crowd she wrote it about falling for a boy from London and all their funny cultural differences. Live Events 'I also really love English boys. I wrote this next song when I was falling for a boy from London, and as we got to know each other, we discovered all these cultural differences. I would tease him about eating a jacket potato with beans, while he would joke about my distinctly American pronunciation—like saying Glaston-berry. So, I turned all of our little inside jokes into a song,' Rodrigo told festival-goers.
