'Main ye nahi karungi...'; This actress rejected this superhit film after hearing
In the early 80s, a well-known actress, admired for her charm and talent, was offered a lead role in a film that would later become a massive hit. But there was a catch, a condition she wasn't willing to accept. She walked away, standing by her values. The director, furious and determined, cast another fresh face in her place. What happened next became part of cinematic history of Indian Cinema. We are sure that you must have identified her by now. If not, let us unravel the mystery for you. The Prominent Actress of the 80s Era Here, we are talking about Bollywood actress Padmini Kolhapure. The actress is best known for films like Pyaari Behna, Insaaf Ka Tarazu, Prem Rog, Pyaar Jhukta Nahin, Prawaas and many others. Meanwhile, the actress got her first role in Raj Kapoor's Satyam Shivam Sundaram in which she played role of teenager Rupa, which was immensely praised by movie lovers. When Padmini Kolhapure Refused To… In 1982, Padmini featured alongside Bollywood superstar Rishi Kapoor in Prem Rog, which turned out to be a monstrous success for her. In 1985, Raj Kapoor decided to feature Padmini in her next project Ram Teri Ganga Maili, as the two had a very amazing working experience together, but when she heard the script, she strictly refused the offer made by the greatest showman of Bollywood and said, 'Uncle mujhe maaf kariye, main ye nahin kar paungi', because there was a kissing scene in the film which made her uncomfortable. This made Raj Kapoor angry and hence he decided to never work with the actress again and gave her role to actress Mandakini. After its initial release, the film became the biggest talk of town and landed in some controversies for its kissing and bold sequences. However, this did not affect the film, which resulted in it becoming one of biggest blockbusters of that year and also made Mandakini an overnight superstar. When Padmini Opened Up About Leaving Ram Teri Ganga Maili After many years, during a session of Rajshri Unplugged, the actress opened up about the full incident. ' When Raj uncle told me about the film, there was a kissing scene in it, I had never done such roles, so I did not want to do a kissing scene. I had no problem working with Rajiv Kapoor, but I was not comfortable kissing on screen. That's why I rejected it.

This actor and his wife were superstars in Bollywood, but their son and daughter became huge flops, their names are...
In today's era of Bollywood, the industry has seen various actors making their way, and the majority of them are from a background of actors and actresses. The word nepotism is not new in the industry, and there has been a long-form debate on the same. However, there are times when daughters and sons of famous superstars fail to impress the audience despite their parents being fan favourites. A similar case happened with the actors we are going to discuss today. These two actors have been the most celebrated of their times. However, their kids couldn't do big on the big screen. The actors we are talking about are the iconic stars Raj Babbar and Nadira Babbar. These two actors have been a part of hit films such as Nikaah, Insaaf Ka Tarazu, Prem Geet, Ghayal, Samandar, Khandaani, Jai Ho. While both these actors are iconic figures in the Bollywood industry, their kids — Juhi Babbar and Arya Babbar — never succeeded. Juhi Babbar's Magic Did Not Work The elder daughter of Raj and Nadira Babbar — Juhi Babbar — worked in Bollywood and TV. She featured in small roles in movies like Reflection, Aiyaary, Faraaz, Kaash Aap Hamare Hote. However, her films never did big on the big screens, and neither was her performance liked by the audience. As a result, the tag of a non-performer came to her despite coming from a house of top actors. Arya Babbar Gave a Shot but Failed Raj's son Arya Babbar made his debut in 2002 with the film Ab Ke Baras. The movie turned out to be a huge flop and could not even recover its budget. Over the years, Arya appeared in movies like Jatts in Golmaal, Naughty Jat, Paapi Ek Satya Katha, however, all of them were huge flops. As a result, Arya was also not liked as an actor by the audience. However, it was just Prateik Babbar, the son of Raj Babbar and Smita Patil, who was able to establish himself as an actor. He appeared in small but important roles in films like Brahmastra, Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na, Mulk, Baaghi-2, Dhobi Ghat, Chhichhore. His acting was appreciated, but he was mostly limited to supporting roles.
