Meet Ajay Devgn's heroine who once challenged Sridevi, hid at her friend's house for 3 days due to…, her name is…
This actress has worked in many great films in her career. At the peak of her career, she quit acting just because she did not get the desired role. But do you know that after the release of her debut film 'Phool Aur Kaante', she hid at a friend's house for three days. Let's know why.
34 years ago, Ajay Devgn and Madhoo both made their debut with the film 'Phool Aur Kaante'. This film made both of them stars. Actress Madhoo was so scared about the release of this film that she remained hidden in her friend's house for three days after the release of the film. The main reason for this was that Yash Chopra's 'Lamhe' was released opposite this film. At that time Yash Chopra was a guarantee of a hit. Especially in the film, Anil Kapoor and actress Sridevi, who gave competition to the hero, were in the lead role. In such a situation, Madhoo was very scared.
Madhoo thought that who would like a film made by newcomers in front of her. But the opposite happened. Lamhe paled in comparison to 'Phool aur Kaante'. Madhoo was extremely nervous and was not at all sure that 'Phool aur Kaante' would be a huge hit. Madhoo revealed this in an interview given to Siddharth Kannan. She told that when this film was released, we were all here… I thought in my mind, 'Oh God what is going to happen? I hid at my best friend's house for three days so that no one comes and gives me a bad response that the film is not doing well.
Putting her point forward, the actress further said, 'Three days after the release of the film, my secretary called me and told me, son, come out, your film is a hit. People are praising you everywhere. Then I came out. Madhoo made a special place in the hearts of fans with her strong characters. She became a star overnight with 'Phool Aur Kaante'. But even then, after a short career, she got so bored of the industry that she said goodbye to acting.
Despite making a blockbuster debut with the film 'Phool Aur Kaante', Madhoo did not get the recognition she deserved. While Ajay Devgan is a guarantee of hits today, Madhoo has been seen in only a few roles for years.

'I cheated Yash Chopra...' Meet Rishi Kapoor's heroine who failed 8th class, rejected Sunny Deol's film after..., career got ruined, is now..., her name is... This 90s actress had a brief yet notable career in Bollywood. Despite working alongside stalwarts including Rishi Kapoor, Sunny Deol, she decided to quit industry just six weeks after her marriage. We are talking a none other than Sonam Khan, who rose to fame after her 'Tirchi Topiwale' song. Born in 1972 as Bakhtawar Khan, she is the granddaughter of late actor Murad and niece of actor Raza Murad. She began her acting career at the mere age of 15 with the Telugu movie Samrat. Later, she made her Bollywood debut with Yash Chopra's Vijay. The actress once revealed that she initially lied to Yash Chopra about her age to secure the role in the film. Following that, Sonam went on to feature in several movies, including Mitti Aur Sona, Krodh, Pyar Ka Karz, Ajooba, Fateh, Kohraam, Vishwatma, Baaz, and Insaaniyat. But, she catapulted to overnight stardom after her role in the 1989 film Tridev. Despite her early success, Sonam's career took a drastic turn. Just as she was at the peak of her stardom, she chose to quit the film industry and got married. She was reportedly offered to work with Sunny Deol in the film Lutere, but turned down the offer to prioritise her marital life. She met film producer Rajiv Rai, son of Gulshan Rai in 1991, and tied the knot after dating for 3 years. The actress bid adieu to the filmy world after her last film Insaaniyat, released in 1994. Shortly after her marriage, there were rumours about her alleged association with underworld don Abu Salem, which brought her in negative limelight. She then left India, moving to various countries over the next 15 years. In 2001, her marriage to Rajiv Rai ended in separation, citing irreconcilable differences as the reason. Now 52, Sonam is currently settled in Mumbai with her son, embracing the role of a single mother and living a life away from the hustle bustle of film industry.

Find its name and lead actors inside. By Simran Keswani Advertisement Amitabh Bachchan charged only Rs 1 for this superhit film, earned Rs 77 crore, the film is..., lead actors are... In the glitzy and glamorous world of Bollywood, fame and wealth often go hand in hand. The bigger the star is, the higher their paycheck is. It is usually seen that top actors command crores for a single film, which is a fee for their talents, stardom, and the attention they can pull off with their presence in a film. But rarely do we come across a story where stars put money on the back burner and rather prioritise their relationship over it. One such story belongs to the biggest name of Bollywood, the shenshaah, Amitabh Bachchan. In 2001, a movie called Mohabbatein was released. It was directed by Aditya Chopra and produced by Yash Chopra. The multi-starrer film featured big stars like Shah Rukh Khan, Aishwarya Rai, and Amitabh Bachchan. With just star star-studded cast and big banner production, the film met its expectations and captivated the hearts of the audience with its storylines, powerful characters, and iconic tracks.

And the reason behind this gesture is also equally heartwarming. Back in the day, Yash Chopra and Amitabh Bachchan worked together for the film Silsila, Yash Chopra had asked the legendary actor Amitabh about how much he desires to be paid. To which Big B responded, 'I need more because I want to buy a house.'. Adhering to his wish, Yash Chopra ensured to pay him accordingly. Next time around, when Yash Chopra asked the same question to Amitabh for Mohabbatein, he said, 'You gave me what I asked for last time. This time, I'll take only ₹1 for the film.' And he meant it. The film was made on a whopping budget of Rs. ₹19 cr and collected more than 4 times its cost, which was a whopping ₹77 crore worldwide. The film not only was a superhit commercially, but it also brought together generations of actors like Amitabh with the then-rising superstar Shah Rukh Khan. Advertisement === Even now, Amitabh Bachchan continues to resonate with the audience. His contribution to the Hindi film cinema is unmatched, and even today, he is one of the most celebrated and respected actors in the Bollywood industry. While today he charges lavishly, his gesture of charging just Rs. 1 for Mohabbatein shows that he is not only a great actor, but a great human too.
