This Kapoor Heroine Refused To Kiss, Won Best Actress Opposite Rishi Kapoor
The film in question is Prem Rog, released in 1982, a Raj Kapoor production that was free of bold scenes. Despite Raj Kapoor's efforts, Padmini Kolhapure stood her ground and refused to perform those scenes.
In Prem Rog, Padmini Kolhapure portrayed a young widow whose husband dies the day after their marriage. Her performance at such a young age received widespread acclaim.
Rishi Kapoor, who had a distinguished career with many notable films, also starred in Prem Rog, another significant film in his career. The music from the film remains popular to this day.
Prem Rog, directed by Raj Kapoor, was a blockbuster. The film featured 17-year-old Padmini Kolhapure alongside Rishi Kapoor. In one memorable scene, Raj Kapoor instructed Kolhapure to slap his son.
According to a Hindustan Times report, Padmini Kolhapure revealed in an old interview that Raj Kapoor made her do multiple retakes to perfect a scene, resulting in her slapping Rishi Kapoor 7-8 times. Despite the challenges, she refused to include a kissing scene in the film.
Padmini Kolhapure's acting in Prem Rog left a lasting impression on audiences, and at just 17, she won the Filmfare Award for Best Actor, even in the presence of a superstar like Rishi Kapoor. Additionally, Raj Kapoor won the Best Director and Best Editor awards for the film.

When Randhir Kapoor publicly slammed Karisma Kapoor's ex-husband, calling Sunjay Kapur a...
Karisma Kapoor's marriage to Delhi-based businessman Sunjay Kapur began in 2003 but soon spiralled into one of Bollywood's most talked-about scandals. What followed was not just a separation, but a bitter divorce packed with explosive allegations. Karisma accused Sunjay of infidelity. Sunjay, in turn, claimed the Zubeidaa star had married him for money. Their mudslinging was so intense it made daily headlines. Randhir Kapoor lashes out Never one to hold back, Karisma's father, Randhir Kapoor, publicly tore into his former son-in-law. In a fiery interview with Hindustan Times, he said, 'Sunjay is a third-class man. I never wanted Karisma to marry him. He has debauchery in his system and never cared for his wife. He has been giving bull*** to her, and living with another woman. The entire Delhi knows how he is.' His remarks came right after Sunjay accused Karisma of being a 'failed' wife, daughter-in-law, and mother, and even alleged she had an extramarital affair. The marriage and the split After tying the knot in 2003, Karisma moved to Delhi and had two children, Samaira and Kiaan. But by 2011, she had returned to Mumbai with them. The couple initially agreed on a mutual divorce, but Karisma withdrew when Sunjay allegedly failed to meet financial commitments under their settlement. Her lawyer, Kranti Sathe, dismissed Sunjay's accusations as 'false' and demanded he prove them in court. A twist after death Sunjay Kapur, former chairman of Sona Comstar, died in London on June 12, 2025. Barely two months later, his name resurfaced in headlines, this time over a staggering Rs 30,000 crore inheritance dispute. Reports suggest Karisma may be considering a legal claim to a share of his vast estate. Adding intrigue, Sunjay's stepdaughter — Priya Sachdev's daughter, Safira — recently changed her surname from 'Chatwal' to 'Kapur'. Insiders speculate this could be more than a personal choice, possibly a strategic play in the high-stakes property battle.

5 of the most expensive outfits ever worn on screen by Bollywood actors
Bollywood has never shied away from grandeur, and when it comes to costumes, the price tags are just as dramatic as the performances themselves. From diamond-studded turbans to imported latex bodysuits, here's a look at some of the most expensive outfits ever worn by Indian actors on screen. Kareena Kapoor's look in Kambakkht Ishq became a talking point. The actor had worn a black dress, specially ordered from Paris by producer Sajid Nadiadwala, for the filming of the title song. According to reports, the dress cost Rs.800,000. Akshay Kumar's look in Singh Is Kinng was defined by his dazzling turban — quite literally. A real diamond was embedded in the pagdi, elevating the costume's total cost to ₹65 lakh. 'Akshay has been given a very special look for this movie. The pagdi would be the highlight of the look and would have a real diamond,' a source told Times of India at the time. Playing a mutant in Krrish 3, Kangana Ranaut wore custom-made latex bodysuits that were inspired by Hollywood icons like Batman and Lara Croft. 'All the material for Kangana's suits was imported from the same place (in France) where Angelina Jolie's latex suit (for Lara Croft Tomb Raider) came from. Rakesh (Roshan) didn't want to leave anything to chance,' an insider told Hindustan Times in 2013. Gavin Miguel, the designer behind the suits, added: 'We sourced the fabric from the same place where many Hollywood films get their material.' Each suit cost ₹10 lakh, and with 10 such costumes made, the total hit a staggering ₹1 crore. Authenticity was key in Padmaavat, and designer Rimple Narula spared no detail when creating Deepika Padukone's royal wedding lehenga. According to ANI, the lehenga cost ₹20 lakh and weighed 30 kilograms. The look took three hours to assemble each day and incorporated intricate traditional embroidery techniques such as Mukke ka Kaam, Salma Sitara, and Gokru Dunka. The result was a historically accurate and visually stunning piece of cinema fashion. When Shah Rukh Khan donned his superhero outfit in he wasn't just wearing special effects, he was wearing literal millions. 'It's a million dollar costume — that's four-and-a-half crore rupees per costume,' SRK told Hindustan Times in 2010. What's more? 'There's not just one costume, there are 20 such!' That pushes the total wardrobe cost for the film to ₹90 crore, making it one of the most expensive costume budgets in Bollywood history.
