When Saiyaara Actor Rajesh Kumar Was Rs 2 Crore In Debt: "Had Rs 2500 In My Account"
New Delhi: Rajesh Kumar, who played Aneet Padda's father in Mohit Suri's sleeper hit Saiyaara, is in headlines as he opened up about his financial struggles in recent interviews. A couple of years ago, Rajesh quit acting and took up farming to change people's mindset. But when he was struggling to make money, his family stood by him. What's Happening In a recent interview with Meri Saheli, Rajesh Kumar said that he went bankrupt and had only Rs 2500 in his account. He said, "Bankruptcy, yes. The incoming and outgoing flow had gone for a toss. There was no incoming, and I had exhausted all my reserves because of the outgoing. I went under debt of Rs 2 crore. (Bankruptcy) is a big word, but definitely, I had that feeling with me for a long time. I was not able to generate money for survival also. This was definitely a phase." Rajesh, who rose to fame with his iconic character Rosesh Sarabhai, took up farming to bust the myth that people take up this with no options left. He said that nobody these days dreams of becoming a farmer when they grow up, and he wants to change this mindset. He said that his family supported him when he was not making any money. "Financially, I was on a slide. By the lockdown, I had used up my savings, and was literally bankrupt. I didn't have anything in my pocket. I had huge loans, and that was adding to the pressure," he told Rajshri Unplugged. "I had just Rs 2,500 in my bank account when I was in the UK. I traveled back and forth twice during that 24-day shoot, but I couldn't bring back even two chocolates for my kids," he said in an interview with Dainik Bhaskar. About Rajesh Kumar's Career Rajesh has an illustrious career on television. He acted in daily soaps like Des Mein Niklla Hoga Chand, Baa Bahoo Aur Baby, Comedy Circus Kaante Ki Takkar, Comedy Circus, Durgesh Nandinii, to name a few.

Exclusive! Juhi Parmar returns to TV to host a new show
Juhi Parmar is making a comeback to hosting with 'Kahaani Har Ghar Ki,' a show where women share their personal struggles. Juhi Parmar is stepping back into the world of hosting after a long time, but for her, the return feels natural and purposeful. The actress has earlier seen hosting shows like Star Voice of India, Antakshari - The Great Challenge and Comedy Circus Kaante Ki Takkar on TV. Now she will be part of the upcoming show Kahaani Har Ghar Ki, which invites women from across the country to share the silent battles they are continuing to fight within their homes. She says, 'I was so excited when it came to me. This is something that resonated with me. I won't just be seen as a host, but as a listener, a mediator, a comforting presence. Honestly, I have been walking this path of wanting to guide as many women as I can or motivate them through my social media." Hosting after a long time can make one nervous, but the actress says, "Once an anchor, always an anchor. I am not nervous. I waited for the right thing to come my way. There couldn't have been anything better than this.' This time, Juhi is preparing more than ever before. She says, 'I am also taking workshops and doing a lot of prep for this show, which I haven't done for any other shows ever. Because I want to understand these women better, and also want to be able to help them. Learning about the behaviour and psychology has helped me as well to understand myself better during these workshops.'
