This cute boy in the picture is a famous actor, once charged 4 crores for 15 minutes in a film, overshadowed lead actor with his negative role, his name is.., the film is…
In the industry of Bollywood, many actors come to Mumbai every day with a suitcase full of dreams to make it big on the silver screen. However, there are very few who leave that mark on the audience and earn unmatched stardom. One such story is of an actor who belongs to a family of royal legacy; however, it's not his last name but his talent that makes him worthy of all the love and attention from his fans. From playing the role of a chocolate boy to playing a negative and intense role, this actor has done it all. For a brief period in his career trajectory, he faded in polls of so many other actors, only to come back stronger, better, and bigger than ever. So much so that this actor's 15-minute negative role outshone the lead. The actor we are talking about is none other than Bobby Deol. He started her journey in 1977. He was a child artist in his father, Dharmendra's, picture, Dharam Veer. Later, he made his debut as a lead in man in 1996 with the film Barsaat, but later, he rose to fame with films like Gupt, Soldier, Badal, and more. Recently, Bobby Deol was seen in the web series Aashram, where he made an impactful appearance. But before this, his unforgettable appearance in the film Animal marked his comeback, and his role became the most talked-about part of the film. As per the reports, Bobby Deol charged Rs. 4 crores for merely 15 minutes of role. Bobby has a lot coming in store for him, with a project featuring Alia Bhatt and South superstar Pawan Kalyan with him and another project opposite Thalapathy Vijay in Jan Naayak. Lately, a throwback picture of Booby Deol floated and took social media by the storm. He was seen sitting in the lap of legendary actress Mala Sinha. While some of them couldn't recognise him at first glance. One fan said, 'Who would have thought this adorable baby would be Bobby Deol?' Another said, 'That smile hasn't changed- he's just a superstar now'. Could you guess it was him at first glance?

According to cofounder Akash Gupt, the funds will be used for product development and expansion in the Indian market. 'The challenge that organisations face today is that all organisational knowledge exists in text documents—PDFs, Word files, PowerPoint, and so on.

The company is expanding into the US and Middle East markets and is planning to close a $3 million funding round for its international growth within the next four to five months, he said.

The biggest challenge in the Middle East is that there is no platform in those countries that can provide this kind of information in the local Arabic language, especially in video format. So we see a big potential there. The same applies to the US, which is generally a much larger market for this," Gupt currently accounts for 80-85% of the company's business, with the startup serving more than 30 global enterprises across sectors such as financial services, pharmaceuticals, FMCG, and ecommerce.
