Acclaimed actor Sheeba Chaddha recently opened up about her feelings on parenthood in today's world, sharing a honest perspective. She expressed concern over the difficulties faced by people in current times, saying that it is a fascist world and it is very hard. In a recent interview, Sheeba Chaddha discussed the struggles of parenthood in today's tumultuous times. 'We live in a fascist world,' says Sheeba In a recent interview with Siddharth Kannan, Sheeba opened up about the emotional and practical weight of raising children in current times, saying, 'I don't think people should have kids now. We live in a fascist world. It is very hard. Look at the times we are living in—it's such a tumultuous and difficult time. Just maintaining the basics is difficult.' Sheeba, who is also a mother, also elaborated on the demands of being a single parent.'You just need to be present more. You have to give much more. You cannot be the father, but you have to give so much—and you don't have that much reserve. It is hard. It takes a lot more people to raise a child. But the family system has really shrunk," Sheeba said. Highlighting how today's nuclear family structures leave little room for shared responsibilities, she also pointed out how much more isolated parenting can feel now. She also revealed that she's turned down multiple work opportunities to prioritise her daughter's needs. Sheeba Chaddha's upcoming work Sheeba Chaddha will soon be seen as Manthara in Nitesh Tiwari's much-awaited epic Ramayana, which will be released in two parts—Part 1 on Diwali 2026 and Part 2 in 2027.

'If You Slap Me...': When Salman Khan ‘Threatened' Actress On Sets Of Tere Naam
Last Updated: Actress Indira Krishnan recalls Salman Khan playing a prank on her during shooting of 'Tere Naam'. A slap scene turned into a full-blown scare, leaving her in panic and fear While Saiyaara, starring Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda and directed by Mohit Suri, is being praised as this generation's most iconic love story, many still argue that nothing compares to the emotional depth and romantic tragedy of Tere Naam. Released in 2003, the film featured Salman Khan and Bhumika Chawla in lead roles that left a lasting impression on audiences, with many still calling it one of the most heartbreaking romantic films of all time. A Scene, A Slap, And Salman Khan's Wicked Prank While Tere Naam is largely remembered for its intense storyline and soul-stirring music, one behind-the-scenes moment still manages to raise eyebrows and chuckles. Actress Indira Krishnan, who played a supporting role in the film, recently shared a humorous yet nerve-wracking anecdote in an interview with Galatta India. During one particular scene, Indira Krishnan was required to slap Salman Khan. But just before filming, Salman Khan warned her ominously: 'If you slap me, then anything can happen. You'll see what happens to her." The remark, though said jokingly, terrified Indira, who began trembling on set. Despite her fear, she stuck to the script and delivered the slap. 'Madam, What Have You Done?' – The Joke Escalates What followed was a perfectly executed prank. Salman Khan had roped in his bodyguard to escalate the drama. As soon as the scene wrapped, the bodyguard approached Indira Krishnan and said, 'Madam, what have you done? The press people have come. Go and sit in the van." Back in those days, seeing media personnel around the set wasn't uncommon, which made the threat feel even more real. The bodyguard even told her she could be banned from the industry for slapping Salman Khan. Panic-stricken and on the verge of tears, Indira Krishnan believed her career might be over. It wasn't until nearly an hour later that Salman Khan finally let her in on the joke. From Panic To Relief: A Lasting Memory The prank left such a deep impression on Indira Krishnan that she remembers it vividly to this day. While it was all in good humour, the incident also highlighted how powerful Salman Khan's off-screen presence could be, capable of turning a scripted moment into a very real emotional experience. Indira Krishnan's Next Chapter: 'Ramayana' Indira Krishnan is now set to appear in Nitesh Tiwari's ambitious adaptation of Ramayana, one of the most anticipated films in Indian cinema. The star-studded cast includes Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama, Sai Pallavi as Sita, Yash as Ravana, Ravi Dubey as Laxman, and Sunny Deol as Hanuman. The film also features Amitabh Bachchan, Rakul Preet Singh, Kunal Kapoor, Lara Dutta, Arun Govil, and Sheeba Chaddha in prominent roles. With such a grand ensemble and mythology at its core, Ramayana promises to be a landmark project, and for Indira Krishnan, another significant milestone in a versatile career that continues to evolve.
