I come from a broken home and I have no siblings and I only lived with my mother." She then reflected on the time her son, Ibrahim, struggled with jaundice right after birth, which ended up affecting his hearing and speech. 'And then when Ibrahim was born, he got very unwell and that was the second nasty blow in my life. So my divorce comes much low down in the priority list of shocks," she said.

In yet another throwback interview with The Telegraph, the Jewel Thief actor had revealed that he was penniless after his divorce.

Meet Shah Rukh Khan's heroine who wore bikini only once, the film became blockbuster, never did any intimate scenes because..., her name is...
As actors, performers one invests a lot in a character. To get in the role one often needs to change their appearances, attire, etc. But sometimes, not everyone I as comfortable as doing everything as others. In movies, actors have often opened up about their comfort levels when performing an intimate scene, to bold costumes. However, some of the actors despite their stardom do not subscribe to the idea of doing something that puts them in a spot. This is about one actress who once wore a bikini but never again. She is considered to have gone beyond the concept of stereotypical who was supposed to be 'fair and fit.' such industry and regressive beauty standards never bothered her and neither it stopped her career growth. Without performing scenes that make her uncomfortable or adhering to social stigmas, she became a leading lady. Her name is Kajol. Kajol started her film career with the film 'Bekhudi' in 1992. In her 32-year career, Kajol has worked in more than 51 films and series. She has essayed array of characters but never has done any obscene scene. In her career she wore a bikini for the first and last time in Shah Rukh Khan starrer 'Baazigar' in 1993. The movie one of the highest grossing films in that year. Kajol once addressed this part of her career. In Netflix's roundtable she once said 'It has always been my take as an actor that I'll not do scenes that require me to be either molested or in any which way show me in a place where I don't want to be because I think as actors when we do a shot, we're feeling it, we're feeling it. So yes, we are actors up to a point but the camera I feel is one of those things it's like man-made magic and it tends to capture it if you're not being honest in front of it. At times like this, you need to be honest.' During the same conversation on Netflix Film Actors' Roundtable in 2023, 'Do Patti' actress mentioned, 'That's been my thing on it that. 'No, I don't want to do this. I don't feel comfortable. I don't feel comfortable when I have to act out a scene where I am being physically abused or molested.' I have done it, it's not that I haven't. But, it's very very very uncomfortable and very disturbing. And I don't feel I need to do it to prove a point. I can prove my point to be a good actor in 100 different ways. I don't need this particular experience.' Despite this, Kajol broke her own rules in one of her series, The Trial, where she was seen kissing Alyy Khan's character.

‘Saif Ali Khan used to visit Amrita Singh on Raju Ban Gaya Gentlemen set, he'd just been fired from a film': Aziz Mirza
Saif Ali Khan dropped a bomb on his family after he married fellow actor Amrita Singh in 1991 following their whirlwind romance. Even his mother Sharmila Tagore got to know after he'd tied the knot. There were rumours that the sudden nuptials caused ripples in Amrita's life too, as it caused panic on day 1 of the shoot of her 1992 romantic comedy Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman. Now, in a new interview, Aziz Mirza, director of that film, rubbished these rumours. ' Nahi, kuchh nahi hua (No, nothing happened). I don't think there was any panic. Saif used to come to set. Mashallah, he did very well in life, he was thrown out of a film, by I think, HS Rawail. He came to RK Studio and said, 'I've been fired from the film,' because he turned up late or something,' recalled Mirza. In the interview with Radio Nasha, Mirza admitted that Saif has come a long way since then. 'He's a lovely chap. He's made his own career, he's excellent. He did a lot of good work in a lot of films,' said Mirza. The filmmaker made his directorial debut with Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman, which starred Shah Rukh Khan and Juhi Chawla in the lead roles. Meanwhile, Saif faced a couple of hurdles at the start of his acting career, despite being the son of veteran actor Sharmila Tagore. He was cast by Anand Mahendroo after his striking appearance in a TV commercial. He relocated from Delhi to Mumbai for the same, but the project got shelved. Saif then signed producer HS Rawail's son Rahul Rawail's film Bekhudi opposite Kajol. After completing the first shooting schedule, he was removed from the film because of lack of professionalism. Saif finally got his breakthrough as the fourth male lead in Yash Chopra's 1993 directorial Parampara. He earned the Best Male Debut at the Filmfare Awards next year for Umesh Mehra's 1993 romantic film Aashik Awara, his first film as the solo lead. He followed it up with hits like Sameer Malkan's 1994 action comedy Main Khiladi Tu Anari, Milan Luthria's 1999 action thriller Kachche Dhaage, Sooraj Barjatya's 1999 family drama Hum Saath-Saath Hain, Kundan Shah's 2000 romance Kya Kehna. Saif met his first wife Amrita Singh while filming Bekhudi. After tying the knot, they had two kids in Sara Ali Khan and Ibrahim Ali Khan, who both eventually became actors. Saif split up from Amrita in 2004, and married Kareena Kapoor in 2012. They're parents to two sons — Taimur Ali Khan and Jehangir Ali Khan.
