About Rhea Chakraborty
Bollywood actress Rhea Chakraborty once reflected on her journey of healing, highlighting that recovery is a gradual process with no shortcuts. Rhea faced intense public scrutiny and personal trauma following the tragic death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput in 2020, and has been steadily rebuilding her life. Some time back, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) officially cleared her and others of any involvement in Sushant's death, filing a closure report that found no evidence linking them to the case.
In 2020, Rhea and her brother Showik were arrested in connection with a drug-related case that emerged during the investigation. Since then, she has kept a low profile while slowly returning to work and focusing on personal growth.
Now back in the public eye, Rhea appears on the new season of
MTV Roadies
and has been making strides with her creative ventures, including her fashion label 'Chapter 2' and a podcast. Her latest social media posts reflect a renewed sense of purpose and strength as she enters what she calls her 'Chapter 2.' The actress marked her debut in Bollywood with Mere Dad Ki Maruti and later starred in films like Sonali Cable, Half Girlfriend, Jalebi and Chehre.

How Javed Akhtar and Anjaan saved Amitabh Bachchan's classic ‘Don' with a Kishore Kumar song that was almost dropped
In the pantheon of Bollywood classics , few films enjoy the cult status that Don (1978) does. With its gripping narrative, unforgettable dialogues, and an electrifying Amitabh Bachchan in a dual role, the film has been a cultural mainstay for over four decades. But what many fans don't know is that one of its most iconic songs—Khaike Paan Banaraswala—was almost never part of the film. In a recent interview with BBC Hindi, noted lyricist Sameer Anjaan revealed the lesser-known tale behind the song that became a desi anthem. According to Sameer, the track was not part of the original script and only came into being after two cinematic heavyweights—Javed Akhtar and Manoj Kumar—voiced concerns over the film's tone.

'They thought the second half was dragging. Too much action, no relief,' Sameer said. 'So they suggested a song—something that could give the audience a breather.' That's when they called upon his father, the legendary lyricist Anjaan, to inject a musical break into the narrative. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Libas Purple Days Sale Libas Undo But crafting a hit song wasn't as simple as inserting a melody. Anjaan drew inspiration from an earlier track in the film, Yeh Hai Bambai Nagariya, and decided to follow a similar flavor. What emerged was Khaike Paan Banaraswala , a playful, vibrant number that would go on to become one of Kishore Kumar 's most unforgettable performances. Convincing the Composers and Kishore Kumar However, not everyone was immediately on board. Music directors Kalyanji-Anandji weren't convinced. 'They felt a song about paan might not work,' Sameer revealed. 'But Javed Sahab insisted. He said the song had to be there.'

Known for his flamboyance and creative unpredictability, Kishore wasn't keen on the Bhojpuri-style diction. ''Chaka-chak' and 'khaike' didn't sit right with him—he wanted to say 'khaake',' Sameer explained. It took Anjaan's insistence—and a literal paan in Kishore's mouth—to get the vibe right. The singer finally relented, ordered a peekdaan (spittoon), and gave a single, flawless take. 'When he sang, it didn't feel like Kishore Kumar anymore. It felt like someone straight from the lanes of Banaras,' Sameer said. Don, directed by Chandra Barot, starred Amitabh Bachchan, Zeenat Aman, Pran, and Iftekhar. But it was Khaike Paan Banaraswala that injected flavor into the film's second act, helping cement Bachchan's desi mard image and giving audiences a tune they'd hum for generations.
