Aamir Khan, Amitabh Bachchan's neighbourhood ice cream parlour went on to do over Rs 300 cr business; Salman Khan, Hema Malini would drop in too
Bollywood celebrities are often associated with fitness but much like their viewers, they have a sweet tooth as well. So when an ice cream parlour opened in their neighbourhood of Juhu in Mumbai in 1984, it became their favourite spot to hang out. Amitabh Bachchan, Jeetendra, Hema Malini, and even the ones who were younger than them, like Aamir Khan and Salman Khan, started frequenting the only outlet of Naturals Ice Cream. Earlier, in a chat with Telegraph, their founder, Srinivas Kamath, shared that he started his store selling pav bhaji because he wasn't certain if people would flock to an ice cream place. Back in those days, the idea of ice cream parlours wasn't as popular. Soon, the ice creams took off, and Srinivas discontinued the pav bhaji. Since many celebrities lived in Juhu, their store would be frequented by many famous people, which definitely helped their business. 'In Juhu, a lot of film stars would walk in. I remember seeing Salman Khan and Aamir Khan, even Amitabh Bachchan and Jeetendra! The next generation of actors prefer their ice cream home-delivered,' he told the publication. He added, 'I opened the Juhu Scheme outlet because I felt that the crowd would appreciate ice cream. Film stars like Amitabh Bachchan and Hema Malini would live close by. People had already started recognising our ice cream.' Not just the older stars, even the then-young stars like Aamir Khan and Pooja Bhatt liked to drop by their store. In an old picture shared on their Facebook page, Naturals revealed that Aamir, Pooja and director Mahesh Bhatt dropped by during the shoot of Dil Hai Ke Manta Nahin. Since those early days, Naturals has come a long way now. The ice cream chain was said to be doing business of over Rs 300 crore a couple of years ago. In the last season of Shark Tank India, where many budding ice-cream businesses pitched their brand, they shared that they saw Naturals as their competition.

Meet actress who became star at 19, won National Award at 25, left acting at peak of carrer to become…, sparked controversy for kissing her own…, her name is…
The Bhatts of Bollywood are one of the most well-known families. From the man of the family – Mahesh Bhatt, being a renowned director, to his wife Soni Razdan, a versatile actress, and daughters Pooja Bhatt and Alia Bhatt as famous actresses of Bollywood – the entire Bhatt family is known for their work. While today, Alia is one of the most celebrated actresses in Bollywood, there was a time when her sister Pooja Bhatt was also loved by fans. However, Pooja's fate had something else in store for her, and she couldn't continue her stardom for long. Pooja, who is Alia's stepsister and the daughter of Mahesh Bhatt and his first wife Lorraine Bright aka Kiran Bhatt, stunned everyone with her bold avatar in the 1980s and 1990s. Pooja made her acting debut at the age of 17 with the film Daddy, directed by her father. Her performance was hailed by the audience, and she was called one of the most flawless actresses in the industry. Later, Pooja featured in movies like Sadak, Dil Hai Ke Manta Nahin, Junoon, Phir Teri Kahani Yaad Aayee, Chaahat, Tamanna, and many more. Just like that, she topped the charts as one of the most loved actresses in Bollywood in the '90s. By the age of 19, Pooja Bhatt became a sensation. At the age of 24, she reached the pinnacle of success, and at 25, she started her own production house and made Tamanna. The movie brought her first National Award for Best Film on Other Social Issues. Downfall of Pooja Bhatt Despite having a promising career, Pooja decided to go behind the lens and focus more on her production company. In 2003, she produced the blockbuster film Jism. Her directorial debut came in 2004 with the film Paap. After this, she made four more movies including Holiday, Dhokha, Kajraare, and Jism 2. However, it was during a magazine shoot when Pooja Bhatt landed in a controversy for kissing her own father, Mahesh Bhatt. While many may think it was a peck on the cheek, it was a proper lip-to-lip kiss. The shot created a stir among people across the nation because, back in the day, showing full-fledged intimate scenes was considered a big deal. Plus, the relationship between Pooja and Mahesh was that of a father and daughter, and this act garnered major backlash. Not just that, Mahesh's statement in the magazine left everyone's jaws dropped when he said that if Pooja wasn't his daughter, he would have married her. The matter soon became national news and Pooja received major criticism. Years later, when Pooja featured on Siddharth Kannan's show, she spoke about the controversy around the kiss. The former actress regretted the kiss and brushed it off by saying it was a simple kiss shared between a child and a parent.
