Rajeev Sen responds to trolls: ‘My sister Sushmita Sen writes me cheques, I live with my mom; what is your problem?'
Actor Sushmita Sen's brother, Rajeev Sen who often stays in headlines for his personal life, has once again come in the limelight for his long note to his haters. In his recent vlog, Rajeev addressed the trolls who criticise him for living off his sister's money. Expressing gratefulness for his privileges, Rajeev clarified that he need not be a superstar to have a luxurious life. He said, he is a successful businessman and has earned a lot of money for himself. He shared, 'I have had a successful jewellery business for a long time. Yes, I am fortunate that a lot of it was given to me because it was my company, it was my parents' company. A lot of it was handed to me on a plate, but even in that scenario, I had to prove myself–that I can sell jewellery. Acting or production, YouTube just happened recently. This is just a passion project that I can afford to give time to because I have other ventures. I am a successful investor. I have earned a lot of money on my own and I am very proud of that fact.' Rajeev also addressed questions around him living with his mother. He said, 'If my mother ever asked me to leave the house, I would do so and be on the street.'

You people don't even have the worth of Rs 10.' He also addressed the questions about him not providing financial help to his ex-wife and daughter Ziana. 'It is my personal life. I am Rajeev Sen and I don't think I need to clarify all this to anybody.' Rajeev Sen was married to television actress Charu Asopa. The couple are parents to a daughter Zianda. They, however, divorced each other in 2023 and now live separately. Their relationship often made headlines.

Sushmita Sen's brother Rajeev Sen breaks silence on allegations made by ex-wife Charu Asopa and not being able to meet daugter Ziana: 'We are both difficult people'
Sushmita Sen 's brother Rajeev Sen and actress Charu Asopa separated leaving fans quite heartbroken. Charu has now moved to Bikaner and said that she moved there because she cannot affort to stay in Mumbai. She had said in an interview, "I have shifted to my hometown Bikaner, Rajasthan. I have left Mumbai for now, and I am currently living with my parents. It's been more than a month since Ziana and I moved here." She also indicated that she's not getting any money from ex-husband Rajeev Sen to raise their daughter Ziana. Rajeev who has a Youtube channel has now reacted to Charu's allegations and said that due to her shifting to Bikaner, their daughter Ziana is suffering. He said, "Charu ne decision liya of moving to Bikaner joh mujhe bohot odd lagaa because she made a bold decision in a short time. She belongs to Bikaner but she took a big step in a short time. I didn't understand it. This was her decision. The reason she gave us was a financial problem and that she couldn't afford Mumbai. People asked me if I'm helping Charu financially for Ziana. It's a private thing. I am not answerable to anyone about the money I give. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Buy Brass Idols - Handmade Brass Statues for Home & Gifting Luxeartisanship Buy Now Undo I won't stoop down to the level where I show my bank statements to everyone about how much money I've given." She added, "Do you think she cannot afford to stay in Mumbai? I know people with a salary of Rs 40-50k thousand with three children who are living in Mumbai. Having said that, I feel Charu will come back to Mumbai. She will keep getting work opportunities here so it doesn't make sense to stay in Bikaner." He reacted to the video of Charu selling clothes online and said, "I saw that video and I'm proud of her because koi bhi kaam chhota ya bada nahi hota (Every work should be respected. No work is big or small). But I wonder why was she dressed like that? She is always well dressed in all her vidoes but here, there is no make-up and she's not dressed up. Charu has never dressed up like this. 9 out of 10 times, she's well dressed with make-up. So that video of her selling clothes seemed like a set-up. Charu doesn't behave like this." Further talking about their relationship Rajeev said, "Kisi bhi relationship mein dekhoge, specially celebrity relationships that aadmi ko bohot jaldi villain banaa diya jaata hai. I'm not perfect. I will never say that Charu only has flaws and I'm innocent. I will never say that. We are just two difficult people. If you think Charu is innocent, that's not the case. Neither am I innocenent. We are all humans. We make mistakes. But koi bhi insaan ek ko bhagwaan banaade aur doosre ko giraake toh it's not logical." Talking about not spending time with their daughter Ziana, Rajeev said, "Chaahe beshak charu Bikaner chali gayi hu, I can go to meet my daughter Ziana. But I feel there has to be a healthy communication. She loves her daughter as much as I love. She's fortunate that she can spend time with her but I cannot spend time, especially now because she has moved out of Mumbai. But efforts have to come from both ends for the well-being of the child, without ego. We need to be giving each other respect." He further said, "The woman will always have a bigger role to play, especially when the child is with her. I have very limited resources. I can only do video calls, or I can go meet her (Ziana). More than anything else, I feel very bad for Ziana. At least if nothing else, there was no need for Charu to leave Bombay. Because ghoom phir kea ap log dekh lena, she will come back to Bombay. And I'm not saying for me. She will come back, she will settle down again here. " Rajeev also revealed what went wrong between them. "Charu will never say this because she thinks she is always right and I'm always wrong. He said, "We were two strong headed individuals. Ek dusre ko samajh nahi paaye. Ek dusre ko respect nahi kar paaye. Pyaar toh bohot tha. But I feel like whatever happened was for the highest good. For her and for me. When it comes to Ziana, if Charu genuinely wants a father's love for her daughter, she needs to play the bigger role because Ziana is with her. "

Why Bollywood keeps naming films after old songs: Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, Hai Jawaani toh Ishq Hona Hai to Om Shanti Om
In today's Bollywood, nostalgia is more than just a sentiment—it's a marketing strategy. With increasing frequency, filmmakers are borrowing from the past to craft film titles that instantly spark recognition. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Song lyrics, cultural phrases, and classic film references are being repurposed to emotionally hook audiences before the first trailer even drops. As one industry insider quipped, 'Nostalgia sells faster than popcorn at a multiplex.' Titles That Echo Familiar Tunes It's no coincidence that many recent titles sound eerily familiar—they often are. Take Jawaani Jaaneman (2020), for example. Its name is lifted straight from the foot-tapping 1982 disco hit from Namak Halaal, a song still embedded in Bollywood's collective memory. Similarly, Zara Hatke Zara Bachke borrows from a lyric in the iconic Bombay Meri Jaan, tapping into Mumbai's cultural soul. This trend has deep roots. Titles like Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani and Jab Tak Hai Jaan were themselves drawn from classic Bollywood songs. But in the past decade, this practice has gained renewed momentum—anchored in the belief that a familiar title creates an emotional shortcut to audience interest. Does Nostalgia Translate to Box Office Success? Not always. Jawaani Jaaneman, despite the catchy title, failed to click with audiences—earning Rs 39.1 crore on a budget of Rs 34 crore and landing as a box office disappointment. In contrast, Zara Hatke Zara Bachke became a sleeper hit, grossing Rs 115.9 crore on a Rs 40 crore budget, proving that while nostalgia may attract attention, it's the film itself that must deliver. Filmmakers are aware of this. Veteran director said in an interview with India Today that using a line from a popular song or poem is an easy way to connect—but it must organically suit the story. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Talking to the same news portal, lyricist Swanand Kirkire, however, has been more critical, calling the trend a 'marketing gimmick' that substitutes buzz for depth. Borrowed Lyrics, Fresh Films Some upcoming and recent films reflect this nostalgia-driven titling more clearly than ever: Hai Jawaani Toh Ishq Hona Hai (2025) – The title, from the 1999 hit song Sona Sona (Biwi No. 1), returns in a 2025 remake of a 2003 film, betting on youthful exuberance and song familiarity to reconnect with today's audience. Saiyaara (2025) – Named after the poignant track from Ek Tha Tiger (2012), the film taps into the song's emotional depth to signal a romantic, introspective tone. Haseen Dillruba (2021) – This Netflix thriller uses a phrase from Namak Halaal's Jawani Janeman, suggesting classic romance, even as the film delivers a modern, darker narrative. De De Pyaar De (2019) – Borrowed from Sharaabi's (1984) beloved track, this film combined nostalgic familiarity with a fresh plot about age-gap romance, helping it achieve commercial success (Rs 143 crore worldwide). Aankhon Ki Gustakhiyan (2025) – Though inspired by a Ruskin Bond short story, the title leans on the romantic lyric from Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam (1999), priming audiences for a love story rich in emotion. Param Sundari (2025) – A clever double play, this film uses both a trending song title from Mimi (2021) and the character names (Param and Sundari), ensuring a culturally resonant hook. Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya (2024): The title is borrowed from the hook line of 'Teri Baaton'—a 2004 chartbuster by Raghav Mathur. The film modernizes the phrase in a futuristic love story, using the emotional recall of the original to attract both older fans and Gen Z listeners. Om Shanti Om (2007): The title comes from the retro classic song 'Om Shanti Om' sung by Kishore Kumar in the 1980 film Karz. Farah Khan's reincarnation drama not only paid homage to 70s Bollywood but also revived the melodramatic style of that era with a modern twist. Ae Dil Hai Mushkil (2016): Inspired by the famous line from the Mukesh song 'Ae Dil Hai Mushkil Jeena Yahan' from CID (1956), Karan Johar's film explored modern heartbreak and unrequited love—an emotional theme that resonates across generations. The Nostalgia Trade-Off While nostalgia-based titles do offer instant recall, their overuse raises concerns about creative stagnation. As one trade analyst points out, 'It's the business of feelings—packaged to look familiar, sound familiar, and feel safe.' But safe doesn't always sell. If the story behind the nostalgic title fails to resonate, the familiarity quickly turns into disappointment. In essence, these titles act as emotional triggers—a kind of cinematic shorthand meant to lure viewers. But the ultimate success of a film still depends on its substance. Nostalgia might open the door, but it's the storytelling that invites audiences to stay.
