Shilpa Shetty on Baazigar experience
'I had no knowledge about films at that time, and I didn't know how to approach it. I was like a student on set. I used to be very nervous back then. Because I came from a South Indian background, I never spoke in Hindi on the sets. When I did 'Aag', I asked Kader Bhai to teach me Urdu, and that's when I learned from scratch. I used to feel very nervous about dialogue deliveries. But all of it is okay because I am able to convey. People understand what I am trying to say,' she shared.
'Akbar Bhai was the action director for the film, and we shot that scene nearly five times. I had a scar on my hip for nearly 8-10 years of my life because I was asked to wear a harness. Back in those times, we did not have any VFX. So I had to act authentically to show that I was falling and the building was moving. But the makers thought that the scene could be shot better. I have died nearly 15 times,' shared the actress with a hearty laugh.

Archana Puran Singh defends nepotism, says star kids have ‘professional ethics': ‘Bollywood people prefer to work with actors from film families'
The debate around nepotism in Bollywood shows no signs of dying down. Every now and then, a celebrity adds their voice to the conversation that's been going on for years. Archana Puran Singh recently started the discussion again on her YouTube channel during a conversation with actor Ajay Devgn. Archana's sons, Aaryamann and Ayushmaan, are aspiring actors, and Ajay's nephew Aaman Devgan recently made his debut in his home production Azaad, with Raveena Tandon's daughter Rasha Thadani. Archana, sharing her perspective, defended the practice of nepotism and said that star kids have a 'sense of professional ethics.' She said, 'One of the reasons people in the film industry prefer to work with actors from film families is because when your parents are already part of the industry, they instil a sense of professional ethics in you from the beginning.' Ajay Devgn, whose late father Veeru Devgan was an action director, agreed and said that star kids learn from their environment. 'You get to learn a lot from growing up in that environment. But sometimes, people come in, and I'm not generalising, as there are many sensible outsiders. However, some don't understand the difference between wanting to be an actor and wanting to be a star. You can't become a star on Day One. You have to first learn how to act. That's where some confusion begins. People outside the industry often think this business operates in a certain way, but it's not like that. In the end, it all comes down to your hard work,' he said.

The actor's comments come amid a wave of star kids making their Bollywood debuts. This year, many star kids, including Junaid Khan, Ibrahim Ali Khan, Khushi Kapoor, made their theatrical debuts. Ahaan Panday also made his theatrical debut with Saiyaara, which is on its way to becoming the biggest hit of the year. His uncle Chunky Panday was a popular actor in the 1980s, and his cousin Ananya is one of the most popular actors in Bollywood currently. His parents – Chikki and Deanne Panday – have considerable connections in the Hindi film industry.

‘System is so cruel': OMG 2 director disappointed after his Shahid Kapoor film on Shivaji gets shelved, wonders if his ‘Rs 180 cr film was not enough' proof
Vicky Kaushal-starrer Chhaava has been the biggest Hindi hit of the year so far and until Saiyaara came along, it seemed like Chhaava's throne might remain untouched. While that is yet to be determined, another film based on the life of another Maratha king, Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, has been shelved. Amit Rai, of OMG 2 fame, was going to direct the film and Shahid Kapoor was attached to the project. Amit blamed the 'cruel system' for his film getting shelved and said that despite his last film doing really well, his hard work of five years has been destroyed. In a chat with Mid-day, Amit said, 'The system is so cruel. Even if you have proved your mettle with a R180 crore film [OMG 2], it's not enough.' Amit did not explain why his project was shelved but expressed his disappointment with the systemic problems of the film industry. 'How is a director supposed to work here, under these systems of casting, production, star, and management? You live with a story for five years, and within minutes, somebody writes a five-pager, pointing out what is wrong and what is right in the film,' he said. Exclusive | Salman Khan's Bigg Boss 19 fees revealed, actor to charge between Rs 120-150 crores for three months In 2024, it was reported that Amit's film would be produced by Telugu film producer Dil Raju, and Shahid was already attached to the project. At the time, he was also going to star in Ashwatthama, which was later put on hold due to budget constraints. A post shared by Riteish Deshmukh (@riteishd) Meanwhile, Riteish Deshmukh has already announced his film, Raja Shivaji, based on the life of Shivaji. Riteish is directing the film and will also play the lead role here. The film also stars Abhishek Bachchan, Sanjay Dutt, Mahesh Manjrekar, Sachin Khedekar, Bhagyashree, Fardeen Khan, Amole Gupte, and Genelia Deshmukh.
