Bollywood is not just about the stories on screen, there is a lot that goes behind it too. Careers are made and ruined with one film, one role or one dialogue as well. There are several artists who rise to glory but eventually fade away. Relationships, affairs, marriages, or break-ups, these are some complexities that weave the life the of actors, somehow. One actress fell in love with her first co-actor but their relationship was not approved by the actor's father. This affected her career and despite being a household name, she only has a few number of films to her name. The actress in focus is Vijayta Pandit.
Vijayta Pandit shot to fame with just one film and that too her screen debut in 1981. She was cast as the lead actress in 'Love Story' opposite to Kumar Gaurav. The Rajendra Kumar directorial became a blockbuster hit and made Pandit and overnight sensation. Rumours were rife about alleged relationship between the two actors. But Kumar Gaurav's father did not approve it and used to tell his son that 'he will bring a princess' for him, once Pandit revealed.
In an interview with Lehren Retro, Pandit addressed the rumour and said, 'Bunty (Kumar Gaurav) was the first boy I hugged during the shoot for Love Story. Any love stories you look at, be it Rishi Kapoor-Dimple Kapadia's Bobby, Sunny Deol-Amrita Singh's Betaab, Sanjay Dutt and Tina Munim's Rocky, all these actors fell in love in real life. With such films you have to get into it, feel the romance… that was the first time a boy was touching me, so we both fell in love… Bunty was very fond of me; he would keep following me, holding my hands and dancing… he used to be a very charming boy. But his father and the film's producer Rajendra Kumar was very angry over our relationship. He would drink alcohol and tell Bunty, he was his prince, and that he should marry a princess. He said he will find his son a girl who belongs to a reputed family. When I used to hear all this, I used to be so scared, but Bunty would retaliate and tell his father that he loves me; they used to drink together and argue; I used to try and get away from this situation.'
Reportedly, the relationship culminated over the intensifying tensions between families and affected her career negatively. Eventually, this entailed a gap in career but she returned to the screen after some time. Some of her notable works include Jeete Hain Shaan Se (1986), Deewana Tere Naam Ka (1987), Zalzala (1988), Pyar Ka Toofan (1990). She also starred in the blockbuster Bengali film Amar Sangi . (1987)
'Love Story' actress starred in a film called 'Car Thief' in 1986 that was directed by Sameer Malkan, The actress was married to Malkan for a brief period and then the marriage ended. Later, she found love in Aadesh Srivastava, famous music singer and composer. He died and unfortunate and untimely death and passed away at the age of 51 leaving a void that cannot be filled.

Hina Khan is content being a minimalistic bride: ‘Love & care made me Glowwwww'

Hina Khan was a sight for sore eyes as a Manish Malhotra bride during her court marriage with Rocky Jaiswal. Instead of going for a bright heavy lehenga for her big day, Hina looked absolutely radiant in an opal green handloom saree with a blush pink border, paired with a pink blouse. Through her latest Instagram post, the 'Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai' actress revealed that her minimalistic bridal look was exactly what she had envisioned for her wedding day. Sharing some unseen pictures from her wedding, Hina wrote on the photo-sharing app, 'It was so reassuring to see that I Managed to remain as Minimalistic as I envisioned myself on this beautiful and personal landmark of a day. No heavy lehengas, heavy mkup or heavy jewellery, no extensive hairdos or elaborated accessories.' The diva added that she did not need the glitz and glamour to make her feel special as she had all the love and care in the world to make her glow. 'Didn't need to do any of it, as from within, I have been content with the purity of Love and Care all around me. Only that mattered. And that made me Hina added. Hina's bridal saree was accompanied by a soft pink veil with a scalloped hem, which she placed on her head with open hair. Encapsulating the precious moment, the saree included Hina and Rocky's names in embroidery. She accessorized the look with some beautiful Kundan jewellery - a Neckpiece, earrings, bangles, mang tika, and earrings. For the makeup, she went for a golden eyeshadow with light Kajal and mascara, with pink-toned blush and lip colour. On Wednesday, Hina left everyone pleasantly surprised as she announced her wedding to long-time boyfriend Rocky. Dropping a string of photos from the low-key ceremony, Hina penned on social media, 'From two different worlds, we built a universe of love. Our differences faded, our hearts aligned, creating a bond to last lifetimes. We are our home, our light, our hope and together, we transcend all barriers. Today, our union is forever sealed in love and law. We seek your Blessings and Wishes as Wife and Husband. #MM'sMinimalistBride #TwinFlame #OurLoveStory #SoulBound A special piece from the one and only MM.'

Director Kawal Sharma, Absconding Since 2022, Nabbed by Uttarakhand Police

Last Updated: Kawal Sharma cheque bounce case: Bollywood filmmaker known for directing films with Sanjay Dutt and Govinda, was arrested in Mumbai after evading a court sentence since 2022. Kawal Sharma Cheque Bounce Case: Filmmaker Kawal Sharma, known for directing popular Hindi films with actors like Sanjay Dutt, Mithun Chakraborty, Govinda, and Jeetendra, has been arrested in Mumbai after evading a court sentence for nearly two years. Sharma, who has helmed films like Jeete Hain Shaan Se (1987), Maalamaal (1988), Mar Mitenge (1988), Namak (1996), and Heeralal Pannalal (1999), was taken into custody by the Haldwani Police from City Mall in Andheri on June 7, 2025. According to Samachar Shagun, the arrest was carried out by a team led by Haldwani police officer Rajesh Yadav. The case against Sharma dates back to 2013, during the time of his film Delhi Eye. He had reportedly borrowed Rs 25 lakh from a businessman and supermodel, with the promise to return Rs 50 lakh within 30 days of the film's release. Sharma issued a cheque for the promised amount, but it bounced — leading to legal action under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881. The businessman lodged a formal complaint in 2015, and on January 17, 2019, the Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate of Haldwani sentenced Sharma to one year in jail and imposed a fine of Rs 51.10 lakh. Though Sharma secured bail from the District and Sessions Judge in Nainital a month later, his appeal was dismissed in 2022. Following the rejection of his appeal, Sharma failed to comply with court orders and disappeared. He ignored multiple summons, warrants, and even public notices issued in Mumbai newspapers. He claimed he was unable to appear due to financial troubles and fear of imprisonment. Eventually, a non-bailable warrant was issued after an FIR (No. 0-37/2024) was filed at Kotwali Haldwani under IPC Sections 229K and 174K for his continued absence and failure to cooperate with the legal process. Reports state that Kawal Sharma will now be taken to Uttarakhand for the next phase of legal proceedings. First Published:
