Sonali Bendre answers if Raj Thackeray had a crush on her 20 years ago: ‘Its not in good taste when people…'
Sonali Bendre recently made headlines for alleged rumours of being romantically involved with Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief Raj Thackeray 20 years ago. The speculations about the politician having a crush on the actor escalated after an old video of the two went viral on social media. However, in a recent interview with ANI, Sonali responded to the rumours, and expressed her displeasure over unnecessary gossip, saying that families are involved in all of that. Reacting to the buzz about Thackeray having a crush on her years ago, Sonali instantly said, 'Did he? I doubt it, but ya.' She further dismissed the claims over the viral video and elaborated, 'Honestly, when I spoke and I called in the video, I was talking to my sister, who was right there. Not even behind him, but I was telling my sister to come. That's the thing about this. It's just not in a very good taste when people talk about it.' Criticising the online chatter and explaining the link between their families, she said, 'First of all, there are families and people involved. Secondly, something that till date I've never even bothered telling this, but other than the fact my brother-in-law, who is a cricketer, hence he used to play cricket with Raj's cousin. Moreover, my sister's mother-in-law was the head of department in literature at the college I am from. She knows Raj because of his father, they all know each other somehow.' ALSO READ | Sonali Bendre admits she wasn't 'fond' of Salman Khan, says his caring side emerged during her cancer battle: 'He made two trips to New York…' Sonali added, 'For me, the connection was that Sharmila, Raj's wife, her mother, and my Maasi were best friends. Her mother has held me for 10 days because you know how, oh, her, my mother's younger sister, Maasi. So when she delivered Raj, they all came laughing. Oh, her elder sister's baby. Let's go and see the baby. They've come to the hospital and seen me. So literally, that's the kind of connection. I have always travelled around, so it's not like I know them beyond a point, because I came into Maharashtra only once in two years during summer holidays or something like that.' On the work front, Sonali Bendre was last seen in the second season of her ZEE5 show The Broken News. She will next star in a series, reportedly based on the infamous Ranga and Billa, along with Ali Fazal.

Thug Life Box Office Day 4: Kamal Haasan's Film Collects Rs 35 Crore On 1st Weekend
Last Updated: Thug Life Box Office Collection Day 4: Kamal Haasan's Thug Life, directed by Mani Ratnam, earned Rs 35.64 crore in its first weekend. Thug Life Box Office Collection Day 4: Kamal Haasan is back in action, and so is the box office. His much-awaited film Thug Life has wrapped up its first weekend on a modest note, collecting a solid Rs 35 crore in just four days. Mani Ratnam's Kamal Haasan, Silambarasan TR and Trisha Krishnan-starrer Thug Life is receiving a lukewarm response at the box office. Thug Life hit theatres on Thursday with a bang, raking in Rs 15.5 crore on day one. But things slowed down quickly – Friday saw a sharp dip, with the film earning Rs 7.15 crore. Saturday gave it a small boost, collecting Rs 7.75 crore, and by Sunday, the momentum eased further with an estimated Rs 5.24 crore. All in all, the film wrapped up its first weekend with a total of Rs 35.64 crore at the Indian box office. While the Rs 35.64 crore weekend collection isn't bad, it does fall short of the sky-high expectations set for Mani Ratnam and Kamal Haasan's big reunion. Fans were hoping for a stronger weekend surge, but with numbers dipping instead of rising, the weekdays don't look too promising either. For context, Kamal's last outing Indian 2, directed by Shankar, pulled in Rs 62.15 crore in just four days. Mani's Ponniyin Selvan films also fared much better at the box office, with Part I earning Rs 120.15 crore and Part II collecting Rs 103.75 crore in their opening weekends. Comparatively, Thug Life seems to be off to a more modest start. Thug Life stars a fantastic ensemble including Trisha, Silambarasan, Joju George, Ashok Selvan, Nasser, Abhirami, and more. The music is composed by the legendary AR Rahman, with stunning visuals captured by cinematographer Ravi K Chandran. The movie's editing is handled by A Sreekar Prasad. A part of the review of the film by News18 read, 'Thug Life ends up becoming a film that is torn between telling two stories. One is the unkillable and morally ambiguous king who continues to defy death. This story of Rangaray Sakthivel is a stand-in or metaphor for Kamal Haasan himself and how the actor has stood the test of time. However, this is half-done as the film is also about Amar and his tragedy. The climax is supposed to complete the circle. Now, the 'shield' gets shielded but still, the arc isn't organic and the irony kind of gets lost in the immortality of Sakthivel." Before Thug Life hit theatres, Kamal Haasan promoted the film with great energy. He was especially happy to team up with director Mani Ratnam again after 38 years. Their last film together was the classic Nayakan in 1987. Kamal spoke warmly about the reunion during promotions, calling it a special moment in his career. As per ANI, he told the press, 'Every film is a challenge, especially when you add another director like Mani Ratnam and a story that is so interesting. Fortunately, he included me in the story's preparation. I gave him an idea. Most of the time I was getting vegetables and helping him make it more tasty. That's what I did. And that I call a true collaboration…We are both children of cinema, and that is how we see each other." First Published:
