Anu Aggarwal Says, "Bollywood Was Ruled By People Like Dawood Ibrahim" During '90s
New Delhi:
Aashiqui actor Anu Aggarwal has revealed about Bollywood's unholy nexus with the underworld during the '90s in her recent interview with Pinkvilla. "It was a dirty business. I don't know how dirty it is today," Anu said as she revealed how many films were funded by the underworld at that time.
Speaking to Pinkvilla, she said, "At that time, it was all under-the-table deals. It was ruled by people like Dawood Ibrahim. All the money that was coming into the film industry came from the underworld. It was a completely different scenario."
During the same conversation, she also revealed that she still hasn't been paid her full remuneration for Aashiqui. "I haven't gotten the full fees for Aashiqui till today. I've only been paid 60% of the full fees. They still owe me the 40%," the actor alleged.
A few days ago, Anu Aggarwal hit the headlines as she claimed she drank her urine.
In an interaction with Instant Bollywood, Anu Aggarwal said, "Many people don't know this... whether it's ignorance or just a lack of awareness, but drinking urine, which is referred to as Aamroli, is actually a mudra (gesture/practice) in Yoga. I've practiced it myself. I have tried it, and it's a very important practice. But one crucial thing to remember is that you don't drink the entire urine. Only a specific part of it is consumed... That portion is considered amrit (elixir). It's known to help with anti-aging, keeping your skin wrinkle-free... it's truly amazing not just for health, but overall well-being. I've personally experienced its benefits."
After Aashiqui, Anu appeared in films like Ghazab Tamasha, King Uncle, Ram Shastra, and more.
Her last film was Return of Jewel Thief (1996). In 1999, she met with a serious accident that left her in a coma for 29 days. Following the accident, Anu never returned to acting.

Meet actress who was hurt by Shah Rukh Khan, later became his close friend, but her career was ruined after…, she is….
Shah Rukh Khan aka King of Bollywood knows his ways to woo the audience. The actor who started his journey from a humble background is today India's most loved star. Also called the Romance King, the actor is not just admired by his fans, but various other actors are also his fans. From Deepika Padukone and Divya Dutta to Varun Dhawan and more, stars all across Indian cinema have praised the actor. Among these actors, there is one star who adores SRK, and she is Deepshikha Nagpal. Deepshikha shared the screen with SRK in Rakesh Roshan's 1997 film, Koyla. Just like many others, Deepshikha was also excited to share screen space with SRK. Recently, in an interview with Instant Bollywood, the actress shared her experience. However, all her happiness and excitement went in vain and she returned with a heavy heart after her first day of shoot. In the interview, Deepshikha said, 'My first scene was that I am dying in his arms. So I was nervous wondering how it would happen. When Shah Rukh came, he was smoking. So Rakesh ji came in and said, 'Do you know Deepshikha?' He said, 'She is a fantastic actress.' Rakesh ji was very impressed with me.' However, Deepshikha expected a pleasant reaction from SRK on Rakesh Roshan's comment, but what happened was completely opposite. SRK had an unexpected response, which left the actress hurt. She said, 'Shah Rukh said, 'Yeah, let's see.' It hurt my ego. He was so rude. I was like, 'This is Shah Rukh. I love him.' Then I took it as a challenge.' What started on a rough note slowly turned into a mutual bond. Though Deepshikha and SRK were not close friends, the actor often admired Nagpal for her dedication towards work, so much so that he even referred her name when popular director duo Abbas-Mustan was making Baadshah. Despite soaring high in her career, Deepshikha's graph declined after she featured in B-grade movies.
