'Can't stay in same room with my husband...' This actress once ruled Bollywood, then vanished for 8 years, now making an alleged comeback, her name is..
Born in Kolkata and raised in Delhi, Bipasha Basu was a well-known model before beginning her acting career. Vinod Khanna wanted to cast her opposite his son Akshaye Khanna in his 1997 Bollywood debut Himalay Putra , but she declined the role thinking that she was too young at the time. Moreover, Jaya Bachchan wanted her to play lead role in her son Abhishek Bachchan's first movie, Aakhri Mughal , but it was cancelled due to unknown reasons.
Bipasha finally made her Bollywood debut opposite Akshay Kumar, Bobby Deol and Kareena Kapoor in Ajnabee (2011) . She garnered recognition for portraying negative character Sonia in the suspense thriller. Following her debut, Bipasha starred in several successful films, including Raaz, Jism, No Entry, Omkara, Bachna Ae Haseeno, Race, and Aakrosh. The actor, once known as the Bong Beauty, spent three years on the '50s Most Desirable Women' list. Throughout her career, Bipasha collaborated with several celebrities, and became one of the top leading actresses in 2000s.
In 2016, Bipasha tied the knot with actor Karan Singh Grover, with whom she first met on the set of their 2015 film Alone . Six years later, the couple welcomed their baby girl Devi. Since 8 years, the actress has been away from the films and has been living her marital life and motherhood to the fullest. Bipasha's last theatrical project was the 2018 film Welcome To New York, where she had a cameo appearance.
Bipasha and Karan, who are happily married for 8 years, once surprisingly refused to share a room during the shoot of their web series Dangerous. This revelation was made by singer and producer Mika Singh, who called his experience 'horrible' when filming with the couple.
Speaking on the KADAK YouTube channel, Mika revealed how the experience was terrible, stating, 'I took a team of 50 to London for a month-long schedule. However, it was extended to two months. Karan and Bipasha created a lot of drama. They were a married couple, so I booked a single room for them. But, they were like, 'No, we need our separate rooms.' I didn't understand the logic. They then demanded to move to a different hotel. We did that as well.'
After a long break from the silver screen, Bipasha Basu has finally spoken about her possible return to Bollywood. In an exclusive chat with Zoom, Bipasha revealed that she truly misses being a part of films. When asked about a possible comeback, she playfully responded, 'When you get to see me, you will know. I will be out there giving all the interviews that you guys have been asking me for.'.

Homebound actor Vishal Jethwa brushes off rumors of rift between Janhvi Kapoor and Ishaan Khatter: ‘Wo bahut hi…'
Janhvi Kapoor, Ishaan Khatter, and Vishal Jethwa are on cloud nine as their film, Homebound, had its screening at the 78th Cannes Film Festival. The movie received a standing ovation and much praise from the elite audience. However, on the other hand, a viral video left people guessing if things weren't right between Janhvi and Ishaan. And now, Vishal Jethwa has cleared the air and dismissed rumors of any rift between them. In an interview with Zoom, the Salaam Venky actor said, "Yeh sab baatein ban jaati hai. Aisa kuchh hai nahi. Maine Ishaan-Janhvi ko kaam karte dekha hai aur wo bahut hi comfortably kaam kar sakte hain (I have seen Ishaan and Janhvi working together and they are comfortable with each other)." Vishal also called the duo each other's 'well-wishers.' Talking about the viral video wherein Janhvi Kapoor reportedly ignored her Dhadak co-actor when he offered his hand at the red carpet of Cannes 2025, Vishal Jethwa explained what actually happened at that moment. The 30-year-old stated that he was the trail for Janhvi's outfit and was clueless about holding it properly. He added, "Main bas uski madad kar raha that. Janhvi jab upar chadh rahi thi, toh Ishan haath de raha tha par wo apne kapde hold karke khadi thi isiliye usne haath nahi diya hoga (I was just trying to help her. And when Janhvi climbed up the stage, Ishaan offered his hand. She was holding her clothes, which is probably why she didn't take his hand)." Dismissing the speculations about Janhvi being rude and disrespectful towards Ishan Khatter, Vishal mentioned that she is intelligent enough not to disrespect anyone. Furthermore, in the same interview, Vishal Jethwa reacted to allegations of being rude towards Ishaan. Addressing another viral video that showed him and Janhvi lost in conversation while Ishaan was busy in the interview, Vishal explained that Ishaan was trying to help him understand the question. The former said that until he could understand the question, Khatter began answering it, so he turned to Janhvi to know what exactly they had asked him. The Mardaani 2 actor mentioned facing trouble due to a change in language in Cannes, which was why he wasn't clear about the interview questions. Lastly, Vishal said, "I respect Ishaan immensely. I am thankful to him for always guiding me." For the unknown, Homebound received a 9-minute-long standing ovation following its big premiere at the Cannes Film Festival in May 2025. Produced by Karan Johar, the movie faced a major controversy when the film's cinematographer, Pratik Shah, was accused of sexual misconduct.
