Meet actor who won Mr. India, made blockbuster debut, but his career was ruined after..., Priyanka Chopra refused to work with him due to..., he is...
Before 1920 gave him a chilling debut and a brief moment in the spotlight, Rajneish Duggall's Bollywood story almost began with a much glossier script — the 2005 romantic thriller Yakeen . Signed, prepped, and nearly ready for his big break opposite Priyanka Chopra, Rajneish's debut was derailed before the cameras could roll — and all because of a star's refusal. Did Priyanka Chopra ruin his career? In a candid interview with Siddharth Kannan in May 2024, Rajneish shared the lesser-known saga behind his Bollywood detour and said, 'I was the first choice for Yakeen, I was signed for the film. In fact, I was working on it. When I met director Girish Dhamija, he asked me, 'When can you move to Mumbai?' I was already planning to move to Mumbai. So, I got training from Girish ji himself; he is an alumnus of the National School of Drama and a dialect coach. They signed a three-film deal with me. I had a double role in the film with Priyanka as the lead. They put me in a penthouse at Juhu 10th Road. They gave me a car and a driver. One call and a person would bring food to my flat. I was going to classes and fully preparing. I prepared for two to two and a half months. I left brand endorsements of Siyaram, Vimal, and other companies to concentrate on the film.' But then came the twist. He added, 'Suddenly, the producer, Sujit Kumar Singh, called me to his office at night. He told me that Priyanka has become a big star in the period since they had signed me and they had paid her for the bulk deal, now she is saying, 'I will not work with a newcomer.' My first reaction was that change the girl because I only saw them putting money on me. I didn't understand the movie business at that time. They said Priyanka wanted that, but I feel it could have been the managers or the people around her. I don't blame her, but she was aware that I was doing the film. She could have said, 'No, he will do it'.' Eventually, Yakeen went ahead with Arjun Rampal and Priyanka Chopra, while Rajneish made his debut three years later in the Vikram Bhatt horror film 1920 . The film was a surprise hit, but unfortunately, it would remain his only major box office success. String of flop films In the years that followed, he appeared in a slew of underwhelming films ( Be Careful , Spark , Wajah Tum Ho , Laal Rang , among others) — none of which lived up to the promise of his debut. Over time, the model-turned-actor quietly racked up a list of over 15 flops. Now, Rajneish is eyeing a second act on OTT, with appearances in Inspector Avinash , Video Cam Scam , and Postcards . Will digital stardom succeed where Bollywood stumbled? The camera's rolling once again — only this time, no one's saying cut … yet.

Video: Sudden swerve causes multi-car pile up in Ajman; police warn of Dh1,000 fine
To warn traffic violators of dire consequences for reckless driving, Ajman Police has shared a video of a multi-car pile up that was caused by one car's sudden change of track. In the video, a red car is seen indecisive about the route, and changing track suddenly which causes multiple vehicles to pile up behind it. Three car crash into each other as a result. The video ends with a reminder of Dh1,000 fine for sudden swerves and Dh400 for failing to keep a safe distance. Sharing the video, Ajman Police talked about a new initiative where they will be using video footage captured by surveillance systems to warn traffic violators of consequences. The 'Be Careful' campaign has been launched as part of its commitment to enhancing road safety and the safety of motorists. The initiative aims to raise awareness of the dangers of committing traffic violations and incorrect behaviors that cause accidents and endanger lives and property. Lieutenant Colonel Rashid Humaid Bin Hindi, Deputy Director of the Traffic and Patrols Department, emphasized that the 'Be Careful' initiative seeks to raise traffic awareness among drivers and alert them to the dangers of serious violations and transgressions such as running a red light, swerving suddenly, and not adhering to lane guidelines. He added that disseminating these real-life scenes will enhance public awareness and encourage adherence to traffic laws to avoid the dire consequences of negligence or reckless driving.

She emphasized that actual footage from the field leave a significant impact on viewers, prompting them to reconsider their traffic behaviour. She added that Ajman Police is constantly working to innovate and develop media outlets and awareness programs that promote a culture of road safety. The initiative relies on publishing videos of real traffic accidents captured by smart road monitoring systems that occurred on Ajman's roads. The goal is to enhance traffic awareness and alert road users to the dangerous behavior of some drivers, which pose a threat to the safety of lives and property and have caused, or nearly caused, serious traffic accidents. This step comes within the framework of using effective interactive tools that contribute to delivering awareness messages in realistic and direct ways to various categories of drivers.
