Here we are talking about Kainaat Arora, the cousin of the late Bollywood actress Divya Bharti, who recently shared insights into her challenging journey in the film industry. Despite her familial connection to celebrated star, Kainaat faced significant hurdles in establishing her own identity in cinema. In a interview with IANS, Kainaat revealed that both Sanjay Dutt and Ajith Kumar had advised her against pursuing a career in Bollywood. During the filming of Mankatha, Ajith Kumar remarked, 'Kainaat, you are too simple. You need to be fully prepared because the journey is not easy.' Similarly, Sanjay Dutt cautioned her about the industry's challenging nature.
Kainaat also spoke about the support she received from co-stars like Akshay Kumar, Vivek Oberoi, Ritesh Deshmukh, Mohanlal, and Gippy Grewal, who provided guidance and encouragement throughout her career. Who is Kainaat Arora?
Originating from a small town in Uttar Pradesh, Kainaat's path to the film industry was unconventional. She moved to Delhi for studies, pursued a course at NIFT, and began modeling to support herself financially. This modeling experience eventually led her to opportunities in cinema. Kainaat's entry into Bollywood began with Khatta Meetha alongside Akshay Kumar, followed by a notable role in Grand Masti. Despite these opportunities, she struggled to achieve the same level of success as her cousin Divya Bharti. More about Kainaat Arora
Previously, in many interviews, Kainaat has openly discussed the struggles she faced in the industry, including rejection and typecasting, which led her to step back. She remains active on social media and occasionally in public appearances, still carrying herself with the grace and confidence that marked her early days.

50 Years Of Sholay: "There Was No Such..." Ramesh Sippy On Jai-Veeru's Bromance In The Film
New Delhi: Sholay has achieved yet another iconic milestone today as it has clocked 50 years since its release. Sharing anecdotes from the days gone by, filmmaker Ramesh Sippy addressed the buzz around people loving Jai and Veeru's (Amitabh Bachchan and Dharmendra) bromance in the film. What's Happening While every character in Sholay had a lasting impact, Jai and Veeru's friendship was one of the most loved aspects of the film. When asked about Jai and Veeru's "bromance", a relatively new-age lingo that the ace filmmaker was unbeknownst to, he confused it with "romance". Ramesh Sippy told IANS, "It's up to people. We have not suggested anything like this. It was a good friendship, and we showed that both have their romantic interests (with other women). There was no such tendency". The director further recalled how a film owner had invited him to come and experience the reaction of the audience when the film was screening. Ramesh Sippy said, "A cinema person called me. He said, 'Come to my cinema'. It was City Light cinema. He said, 'Can you see there? No one is coming here to have a cold drink. There was an interval. No one came. He said, 'Do you know why? Because those who were inside the hall were super-attentive. They were behaving as if they had never seen anything like this. I said, 'Are you sure?'. He said, Absolutely. 'I see it every day. They do not come in the interval'." About Sholay Retired police chief Thakur Baldev Singh (Sanjeev Kumar) resides in the village of Ramgarh. He plans to bring an end to the mischievous bandit Gabbar Singh (Amjad Khan), and seeks help from two other criminals, Jai (Amitabh Bachchan) and Veeru (Dharmendra), who are relatively less notorious.
