"The whole set went silent after...", Shah Rukh Khan was once slapped by an actress because..,her name is.., she is now...
In the glamorous world of Bollywood, many actors come to Mumbai with a suitcase full of dreams to make it big on the silver screen, but there are rarely a few who manage to earn that fame and leave an impact. However, there was one such actress who captivated the hearts of millions as soon as she entered the industry. From her natural innocence to her strong performance, she soon rose to fame and left a remarkable mark on the audience, even with her career that was short-lived.
The actress we are talking about is none other than Priya Gill. Priya entered the industry in the 90s. Her debut film was 'Tere Mere Sapne', but it was her films like 'Pehli Pehli Baar Mohabaat Ki Hai' and 'Dilbar' that rose her to fame. But besides her soft-spoken beauty and effortless performance that still resonated with the audience, there was one particular incident from her early days of her career that continues to be talked about.
This popular incident was with the Badshah of Bollywood, Shah Rukh Khan, and recalls it as her 'most embarrassing moment'. During the shoot of the film Josh, they were shooting a scene where Priya had to slap Shah Rukh Khan. But the shoot wasn't coming through as expected, even after taking multiple retakes. Director Mansoor Khan wasn't satisfied with the shot and asked her to put more emotion even, Shah Rukh Khan encouraged her saying 'Mujhe maaro..maaro'. In order to deliver the shot perfectly, Priya slapped Shah Rukh Khan with full force, so much so that the entire set went silent and the sound of the slap echoed.
In an interview, Priya openly revealed that even after 25 years of these incidents, it remains the most embarrassing moment of her career. She said, 'It was the most shameful moment of my career,'. Even though Priya was just doing her job and emoting the scene she was asked to, she still recalls it with shame and disbelief.
Gill also expressed her love and admiration for Shah Rukh Khan, she said, 'I don't know whether you know, but I'm like a… I won't just say I'm a die-hard fan, because fans are only related to the acting side. I've always liked Shah Rukh. When I was studying, I used to watch him on television. He used to come in the serials, and then he became a huge star. But you know, you never think that one day you're going to be with this guy. And I was totally in awe of him.'
Priya had a short film career trajectory, but despite that, she captured the hearts of many. Stepping away from the limelight, Priya said she is now living a peaceful life with her family in Denmark.

TNPL 2025 kicks off tomorrow, Shahrukh's Kings to take on Ashwin's Dragons in opener
Coimbatore, June 4 (UNI) IPL GT star Shahrukh Khan-led Lyca Kovai Kings will lock horns with R Ashwin's Dindigul Dragons in a rematch of last year's final to kickstart the 9th edition of the Shriram Capital-Tamil Nadu Premier League at the Sri Ramakrishna College of Arts and Science Cricket Ground here on Thursday night. Dindigul denied Kovai Kings a hat-trick of crowns (joint-winners in 2022), as Ashwin turned in a splendid all-round performance in a low-scoring contest to help his side secure their maiden title. Meanwhile, Chepauk Super Gillies, the most-decorated franchise with four trophies, will begin their campaign on Friday against iDream Tiruppur Tamizhans in what is India's longest-running regional T20 league. Adding excitement to Season 9 are the new-look squads following February's mega auction after the eight franchises were allowed to retain a maximum of five players each. Among the prominent movements were pacer M Mohammed to SKM Salem Spartans, left-arm spinner Swapnil Singh to Chepauk Super Gillies and toporder batters U Mukilesh and J Suresh Kumar to Trichy Grand Cholas, while all-rounder Vijay Shankar returns to Chepauk Super Gillies. With Sai Sudharsan picked for India's Test tour of England, exciting teenager Andre Siddharth will be expected to play a key role for his new franchise, Kovai Kings. At a press conference on Wednesay, Kovai Kings' head coach J Hariesh said his side will also miss the services of all-rounder RS Ambrish, away with the India U-19 team, who 'would have taken the No 6 slot.' Among other franchise news, all-rounder Washington Sundar, also picked for the England Test tour, will not be available for Trichy Grand Cholas, while former UAE wrist-spinner Karthik Meiyappan, who has now moved to his birth place Chennai, will don Siechem Madurai Panthers colours. All eight franchises appear balanced, given the reshaping of squads at the mega auction, and this promises exciting and close matches this season. 'Teams can look strong on paper, but what happens during the match decides everything,' Dindigul spinner Varun Chakravarthy said. It took Dindigul eight seasons to secure their maiden crown after runner-up finishes in 2018 and 2019, and the side is looking to extend their supremacy. 'We have a trophy to defend and make a statement this year by winning it two times in a row,' India spinner Chakravarthy added. Kovai Kings' skipper Shahrukh felt a good season boils down to the 'process that we put in place and the brand of cricket that we play.' 'It's a fresh start, really, because barring the five players that were retained, most of the others are new to the side,' Shahrukh, last edition's Player of the Tournament, said at the press meet. After a week in Coimbatore (until June 11), the action will shift to the Salem Cricket Foundation ground (June 13-19), followed by CSK ground in Tirunelveli (June 21-26) before moving to the NPR College ground in Dindigul for the business end, with the final on July 6. The 32-match season will also feature six double headers, with the afternoon game commencing at 3.15 p.m. N Jagadeesan (Chepauk Super Gillies, 2260) and Sai Kishore (IDream Tiruppur Tamizhans, 78 wickets) are the tournament's leading run-getter and wicket-taker respectively, while Shivam Singh (Dindigul Dragons, 364) and M Poiyamozhi (SKM Salem Spartans,16 wickets) topped the charts last year. Matches will be broadcast live on Star Sports 1 Tamil and Star Sports 2 and live- streamed on FanCode. UNI GV 2135
