Meet actress, who got married in 1997, husband died in plane crash in 2000, worked with Shah Rukh Khan
In Film industry, there have been actors and actresses who have reached an enormous height of success, but due to tragedy or some unwanted circumstances, they were not able to revive themselves. But there was this one actress who demonstrated remarkable resilience, choosing to reinvent herself after a personal setback. Her journey serves as a powerful reminder that it's never too late to start anew. The Vidya Sharma Of Bollywood Some of you might have guessed the name of this actor, while some of you may still be scratching your heads. Let us give you a slight hint, this actress was the niece of prominent Bollywood star Smita Patil who featured with many stalwarts of Indian cinema. Now, if you haven't guessed it yet, let us raise curtains for you. Here we are talking about Vidya Malvade, who began her professional life as an air hostess after studying law. In 1997, she tied the knot with Captain Arvind Singh Bagga, who was a pilot with Alliance Air Company. Tragically, in 2000, Arvind lost his life in a plane crash in Patna. The sudden loss plunged her into a deep state of shock, and she even made a suicide attempt to end her life. However, with the support of her family and inner strength, she chose to stay and give herself a second chance. Vidya And Her Second Innings Turning towards yoga and meditation for healing, Vidya started her second innings in modeling and then acting. Her debut came with Vikram Bhatt's action-thriller Inteha in 2003, but it was her role as Vidya Sharma, the captain of the Indian women's hockey team, in Shah Rukh Khan's Chak De! India, which brought her enormous success. Despite the film's success, Vidya faced challenges in her career, with several projects being stalled or not performing well at the box office. However, she continued her journey while exploring opportunities in web series and television. Vidya's Life Blossomed Again With Love In 2009, Vidya found love again and married Sanjay Dayma, who was a screenplay writer from Bollywood and best known for his work in Aamir Khan's Lagaan. Beyond acting, Vidya is also a certified yoga instructor and a motivational speaker, promoting physical and mental well-being.

Vivek Agnihotri Says Anurag Kashyap Was 'Difficult' On Goal Set: ‘Bahut Sharab Peeta Tha'
Last Updated: Vivek Agnihotri also recalled how the film's creative direction changed after Anurag Kashyap brought in another filmmaker. Filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri, known for hard-hitting films like The Tashkent Files and The Kashmir Files, has opened up about his difficult working relationship with filmmaker Anurag Kashyap during the making of Dhan Dhana Dhan Goal. In an interview with Digital Commentary, Agnihotri reflected on the chaos on set, largely due to Kashyap's drinking habits at the time. The director interrupted the host while discussing Anurag's recent controversial remarks on Brahmins to speak about his own professional experience with him. 'Leave anything about him, unki toh mansik halat kya hai mujhe nahi malum," he said. Recalling the film's early development, he revealed, 'I have worked with him. We were doing the film Goal together. He was the writer of the film. Saif Ali Khan and Priyanka Chopra were supposed to do it, but Saif had some personal issues at the time, so he left. Then we got John and Bipasha. Anurag uss time bahut sharab peeta tha toh usko time ka koi hisaab nahi tha." Agnihotri also recalled how the film's creative direction changed after Kashyap brought in another filmmaker. 'Phir voh Vikramaditya Motwane ko le aaye, bola mera ek ladka hai, vo help karega. Dheere dheere saara kaam Vikramaditya ko hi de diya. Main jo banana chah raha tha, yeh log ki soch kuch alag thi, yeh kuch aur hi banana chah rahe the." According to him, this shift in control led to clashes on set. 'Ultimately, we were at loggerheads. The production house had a word with Anurag… Anurag ko handle karna mushkil ho gaya. Because only an alcoholic knows what an alcoholic goes through. It became a very big problem." The film, backed by Ronnie Screwvala's UTV Motion Pictures, was directed by Agnihotri and starred John Abraham, Bipasha Basu, Arshad Warsi, and Boman Irani. Released in 2007, Dhan Dhana Dhan Goal was a sports drama that received mixed reviews and fared moderately well at the box office, especially when compared to that year's blockbuster Chak De! India.

Deepika Padukone and Shah Rukh Khan on insider-outsider debate; she recalls landing Om Shanti Om without audition: 'I never thought I was an outsider'
Bollywood icons Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone came together for a powerful conversation at the ongoing World Audio Visual and Entertainment Summit 2025 (WAVES) in Mumbai on navigating the film industry. During a panel discussion titled The Journey: From Outsider to Ruler, moderated by Karan Johar , the duo delved into their beginnings, the idea of being an 'outsider,' and how belief, not background, shaped their paths. Addressing the widely debated industry binary, Deepika dismissed the idea that she ever truly felt like she didn't belong. 'These are terms we seem to be discussing now — insider, outsider. When I began, it was just a new world. I never felt like I was an outsider trying to make my place in a new industry,' she said. 'I had the dedication, I had the passion, I had the determination, the hard work. Those were the things in my control. And those were the things that I applied to what I was passionate about.' Shah Rukh Khan, who is often hailed as Bollywood's ultimate outsider-turned-superstar, nodded in agreement. Reminiscing about his early days, he added, 'Jab main yahan (Mumbai) aaya tha, I never thought ki main outsider hoon iss liye main iss duniya ka hissa nahi ban sakta... I believed this is my world... Mujhe laga yeh duniya meri hai... yeh jagah meri hai.'

Cast opposite Shah Rukh Khan in Farah Khan 's 2007 reincarnation drama Om Shanti Om, Deepika revealed she was just 16 or 17 when she moved from Bangalore to Mumbai and got the part, without even giving an audition. Deepika Begins a New Chapter in Motherhood 'Farah Khan showed interest in casting me in a movie. I was transitioning between Bangalore and Mumbai at the time. I remember doing a meeting with her once. For me, it just happened because I was a model before that. They'd seen some of my work,' she shared. She recalled Shah Rukh being away in Australia shooting for Chak De! India when initial meetings for the film took place. 'I was a young girl, completely new to this world, but everything aligned.'
