Shah Rukh Khan's 'Jawan' co-star Ridhi Dogra didn't track her money until divorce forced her to. Actress shares rule No. 1 for financial freedom
Agencies
Even fame and success don't shield a person from making financial missteps . Acclaimed actress Ridhi Dogra , known for her performance in the psychological thriller Asur, recently spoke about a time in her life when she completely neglected her financial well-being. During her marriage to actor Raquesh Bapat, her co-star from the television series 'Maryada: Lekin Kab Tak?' Dogra admitted she lost track of her own money matters.While appearing on Yuvva, Ridhi shared how, throughout her marriage, she believed everything was under control. She assumed that managing expenses was a shared responsibility between her and her then-husband. This sense of comfort, however, led her to stop monitoring her personal finances. Over time, she found herself uncertain about where her money had gone — a realization that served as a wake-up call.Accepting responsibility, Ridhi eventually took charge of her financial life. She hired a female investment advisor , someone she could trust and speak to openly. Determined to learn, she asked her advisor the same questions multiple times until she fully understood. There was no room for embarrassment — only a strong desire to regain control over her future.Ridhi emphasized that it's perfectly normal to feel lost at the beginning, but once a person decides to be financially independent, they must be fearless in seeking clarity. She encouraged others to keep asking questions until every doubt is addressed. For her, this wasn't just about money — it was a path to empowerment. Living alone, once unfamiliar and daunting, became a source of strength and self-discovery.Following her divorce in 2019, Ridhi faced the challenge of solitude for the first time. In a previous interview with ETimes, she recalled how living alone was a completely new experience. Although married, she had always been surrounded by friends, loved ones, and even pets. After the separation, she was suddenly on her own, and that solitude, she said, quietly prepared her for the isolation of the COVID-19 lockdown that followed.Despite the end of her marriage, she continues to maintain a respectful and amicable relationship with Raquesh. Their journey, which began in 2010 on the sets of 'Maryada', saw them marry in 2011 and part ways eight years later.Ridhi Dogra, now focused on self-love, growth, and financial stability, was last seen in the family drama 'Kull: The Legacy of the Raisingghs.' The show, also featuring The Lunchbox star Nimrat Kaur, premiered on Jio HotStar on May 2, 2025, marking another milestone in Ridhi's evolving personal and professional journey.

Surveen Chawla shares her experience working with Pankaj Tripathi in Criminal Justice: A Family Matter: 'He is a walking, talking school of cinema' -Exclusive
Surveen Chawla shared insights about 'Criminal Justice: A Family Matter'. She plays Anju Nagpal, the emotional core of the show. Surveen was drawn to the depth of her character. She praised the cast, including Pankaj Tripathi, for their talent and collaboration. The set had a fun atmosphere despite the show's serious tone. She also appreciated director Rohan Sippy's calm direction. In an exclusive interview with ETimes, Surveen Chawla talked about her role in Criminal Justice: A Family Matter, the show's gripping family drama, and her experience working with Pankaj Tripathi . She shared what attracted her to the character and gives a glimpse of the fun and energy behind the intense courtroom scenes. Excerpts... Criminal Justice: A Family Matter has been receiving positive reviews. Tell us something about it. I think it lives up to the legacy of the franchise built over the last three seasons. This time, it's a bit different because it's a family matter in the literal sense. Everyone is involved as a family unit. The story revolves around an estranged wife, a doctor husband, and a girlfriend—who, of course, ends up murdered. It's a great watch that will keep you on the edge of your seat and guessing. I know many viewers are upset about not being able to binge-watch the show, but that's the model the platform has chosen for this series, and it's doing great numbers. How did you prepare for this role, and what drew you to this complex character? For me, Anju Nagpal—my character—is the emotional core, the epicenter of the show. She's calm and composed, even in the middle of a storm, but she keeps everything suppressed inside. What drew me to the role was all this depth and more, which I can't reveal right now. Beyond the character, the entire team was a huge draw—with fantastic actors like Pankaj ji, Zeeshan, Shweta, Meeta ji, Barkha, and even Ira, who plays my daughter. Everyone was amazing. The cast and the director really matter to me. I'd wanted to work with Rohan for a long time, and when I finally got the chance, I knew I had to take it. Sometimes a project looks great on paper, but without a strong, capable team to support it, execution can suffer. For me, that's a key factor in deciding to do a project. This one had all the right ingredients to make a great 'dish,' and that's exactly what it turned out to be. Working alongside Pankaj Tripathi and other talented actors must be enriching. Can you share an experience from the set that stood out to you? I can't really single out one experience because every scene we did together was special. There's a quiet chemistry between Zeeshan and me, even though it's from the past—the history is there, and you can see the lingering effect. Pankaj ji, to me, is a walking, talking school of cinema. What more can I say? We're all huge fans of his, and working with him was incredible. Sharing the screen with him brings so much energy to the scene. The collaboration on set is constant but very subtle—not in-your-face. He comes to work without the weight of his reputation, which is an amazing quality. His simplicity and no-nonsense approach are truly inspiring. Overall, it was wonderful working with every member of the cast. Even though some of us didn't share many scenes, the days we did shoot together were great. With Rohan's calm and composure directing us, every courtroom scene felt almost like a party—we'd be binging on food and snacks. So, while the show looks very serious on screen, behind the camera, it was all fun and laughter. Check out our list of the latest Hindi , English , Tamil , Telugu , Malayalam , and Kannada movies .

Japanese 'Baba Vanga' Predicts 2030 Virus Outbreak That 'Could Kill Hundreds'
Last Updated: The updated edition of Tatsuki's book renews her earthquake prediction, causing Japan trip bookings to drop sharply, with further declines expected in the coming months A renowned psychic from Japan, often likened to the famed Bulgarian prophet Baba Vanga, has made a startling prediction about a future global crisis. Ryo Tatsuki, a comic artist and prophet known for her accurate predictions, has warned of a deadly virus emerging in 2030. This virus, she claims, will be reminiscent of the COVID-19 pandemic and could present a significant threat to global health. Tatsuki, popularly referred to as the 'New Baba Vanga' due to her prophetic prowess, has previously predicted high-profile events such as the deaths of Freddie Mercury and Princess Diana, the 2011 Kobe earthquake, and the COVID-19 pandemic. In her book ' The Future as I See It ' (1999), she predicted an unknown virus peaking in April 2020, which would then dissipate, only to return after a decade. She now foresees another, even more devastating virus in 2030, potentially causing numerous fatalities. The comparison to Baba Vanga stems from her own remarkable history of predictions. Baba Vanga, who lost her vision in a storm at age 12, claimed this incident granted her the ability to foresee the future. She accurately predicted about 85% of her prophecies, earning global recognition. Tatsuki's predictions have sparked significant concern, particularly as COVID-19 cases are rising again in India, prompting calls for increased caution. Alongside her viral prediction, Tatsuki has also forewarned of a major earthquake in Japan, projected for July 2025. Japan, situated in a seismically active region, experiences around 1,500 earthquakes annually, many of which go unnoticed due to their low intensity. However, the 2011 earthquake and subsequent tsunami caused widespread destruction, including damaging the Fukushima nuclear plant, an event Tatsuki had predicted. As the world remains vigilant, Tatsuki's predictions serve as a stark reminder of potential future challenges, urging global preparedness. First Published: June 05, 2025, 18:21 IST
