Upset Ajit scolded son Shehzad Khan for mimicking him in Andaz Apna Apna: ‘Aainda aisi himakat mat karna'
When it was released in 1994, Andaz Apna Apna was a box office bomb. The Rajkumar Santoshi film starred Salman Khan and Aamir Khan, but could not utilise their star power at the box office. Since then, however, it has emerged as a cult classic with even the supporting characters becoming memorable. One such character is Bhalla, played by Shehzad Khan, the son of legendary villain Ajit. But Ajit was not pleased with his son's breakthrough role. Shehzad's Bhalla was the henchman of the film's villain, Teja (Paresh Rawal). Everything from Bhalla's getup to accent was an homage to Ajit's iconic character, Lion, from the film Kaalicharan. Shehzad even copied his father's iconic voice for the role. 'The entire casting of the film was done by Rajkumar Santoshi. Only for this character, Vinay Kumar (producer of the film) said that 'this role will be done by Shehzad.' When I went there, Raj told me about the role and told me that I had to use my father's voice for the character, and that's how the journey started,' Shehzad told Radio Nasha. However, Ajit did not take kindly to it. After watching the film, he was upset at the mimicry, Shehzad said. 'I never told my father about the film, and some people told him, 'Your son's new film has come out. A lot of people are talking about it. He has used your voice.' Then he saw the film and told me, 'Aainda aisi himakat mat karna (Don't ever repeat this),'' the actor said. Andaz Apna Apna, which also stars Raveena Tandon, Karisma Kapoor, Shakti Kapoor, and Deven Verma was originally released in 1994. Today, it is considered one of the best comedies made in Hindi cinema. The film has re-released in theatres now.

Meet actress who became star at 19, was the highest-paid heroine, married a cricketer, left Bollywood due to..., her name is...
Love is one thing that can make people do all sorts of things, even quitting their jobs. Similar cases have also been seen in Bollywood, where many actresses left the industry at the peak of their careers—all because of love. Today, we will discuss one such actress who once topped the charts during her time. However, it was love that made her quit her job. Apart from her professional life, her personal life also made headlines among fans. Initially, she was linked to a married man and later tied the knot with a Pakistani cricketer. If you are wondering who this beauty is, then let us tell you—we are talking about Reena Roy. Reena made her debut at the age of 15 with the film Zaroorat in 1972. Over the next few years, she featured in hit films like Kaalicharan and Naagin, and turned out to be one of the most loved actresses of her time. Not just that, she was one of the highest-paid actresses in Bollywood at just 19 years of age. In the early 80s, Reena climbed the ladder of success and was at the peak of her career. She worked with big names in the industry such as Jeetendra, Shatrughan Sinha, Rekha, Sunil Dutt, and more. While Reena's professional life made headlines, it was her personal life too that came under public glare. She was widely discussed among the audience for her affair with Shatrughan Sinha, who married Poonam Sinha in 1980. At the age of 26, Reena surprised everyone by quitting Bollywood and tying the knot with Pakistani cricketer Mohsin Khan, and moving across the border. The couple was blessed with a baby girl whom they named Jannat. However, soon after, Reena and Mohsin's marriage did not last long and the duo got divorced in 1990. After the divorce, Reena returned to India, and her daughter's custody was given to her. It was Shatrughan Sinha who helped her get custody of her daughter.
