Bollywood has numerous actors who, though came from a family of actors, couldn't establish themselves as celebs in the industry.

Today, we will speak about an actress who shares a close connection with Alia Bhatt, gave a superhit debut, and still disappeared from Bollywood. This actress shared the screen with Kunal Kemmu and gave a blockbuster. Her acting was praised, and fans thought that they would see more of her in different movies.

Smilie made her debut in the blockbuster Kalyug and captivated the hearts of the audience. Smilie, who shared a deep connection with her uncle Mahesh Bhatt, wished to make a career in Bollywood. However, the complete opposite happened. Despite giving a hit film as her debut, Smilie Suri left Bollywood. Not just her professional life, but Smilie's personal life also remained in headlines. There was a point in her life, which wreaked havoc for her. The actress talked about this difficult phase of her life in an interview with Siddharth Kannan. She said—'I married choreographer and dance teacher Vineet Bangra in 2014. But, after 2 years of marriage, he suddenly left me. I kept pleading with him, but he did not stop. His parents also did not help me, after which I broke down.' Smilie Suri talked about her depression and said, 'I locked myself in a room. After he left, I went into depression. I could not understand what was happening to me. Even today, many people in my family call me crazy. Even today, I am struggling with anxiety. But then I thought that the people whose words I am paying attention to do not care about me.' After her exit from movies, Smilie now gives her time to dance.

Karan Johar says he ‘lost all trust' in Maheep Kapoor after The Traitors; Raj Kundra jokes about using the ‘nepo husband' card
As if the world hadn't already been gripped enough by the globally acclaimed reality show The Traitors, Amazon Prime Video India is set to launch its own adaptation. The official trailer of the show dropped today on YouTube, generating significant buzz, especially with Karan Johar revealed as the host. Speaking at the trailer launch event, Karan described the show as one 'characterised by lies, deceit, betrayal, and a whole lot of drama!' He went on to call its structure 'the best format of any reality show in the world.' Karan also mentioned Maheep Kapoor, who gained notoriety through his Netflix-produced reality series Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives. She returns to reality TV as one of the contestants on The Traitors. Reacting to her involvement, the filmmaker quipped, 'I can't really trust her with anything now,' referencing the deceptive nature of the game. Another prominent face in the lineup is Apoorva Makhija, marking her first public appearance after the India's Got Latent controversy. Speaking at the event, she remarked: 'I think people just think being a red flag is about lying, manipulation and deception, and all of that is true. But to require that, you need brains, which unfortunately most of these people don't have. So I don't know if I'm the biggest red flag, but I use one more brain cell at all times.' Also turning heads was influencer and fashion commentator Sufi Motiwala, who offered a bold self-description: 'You expect me to be nice, but I play dirty in this game. Imagine if Rakhi Sawant and Paris Hilton had a baby — that's what I'm giving on this show, and that is a 10 on 10.' A post shared by SCREEN (@ieentertainment) Among the most unexpected contestants is businessman Raj Kundra. Known for his public appearances in a face mask, he commented on how the mystery surrounding him could work in his favour: 'Jabhi maine mask pehna hai, logon ko laga hai ki main kya chhupaa raha hoon. Ek mystery hai, and that mystery might help me in this game. Ye Kalyug ka show hai Traitors, nobody knows who is your friend and enemy. Toh yahi strategy lekar, I hope jo ye mystery hai woh mujhe help karegi. Aur last but not least, Karan sir host kar rahe hain… toh woh 'nepo husband' waala card toh zarur use karunga (Whenever I've worn the mask, people wonder what I'm hiding. There's a mystery, and that might help me here. This is a show for the age of Kalyug — no one knows who's a friend or enemy. I'm entering with a strategy, and I hope the mystery works in my favour. And since Karan sir is hosting, I'm definitely going to play the 'nepo husband' card).' Making her reality debut is Anshula Kapoor, sister of actor Arjun Kapoor. Reflecting on her persona, she said, 'I might look innocent and calm, I may look cute even, but acting toh humare khoon mein hai… and killing it with a little bit of confidence and a smile on my face is my forte.' Set to premiere on June 12, The Traitors will drop new episodes every Thursday at 8 pm., culminating in a high-stakes grand finale. The show features a fiery lineup of 20 contestants: Anshula Kapoor, Apoorva Makhija, Ashish Vidyarthi, Elnaaz Norouzi, Harsh Gujral, Jannat Zubair, Janvi Gaur, Jasmine Bhasin, Karan Kundrra, Lakshmi Manchu, Maheep Kapoor, Mukesh Chhabra, Nikita Luther, Purav Jha, Raftaar, Raj Kundra, Sahil Salathia, Sudhanshu Pandey, Sufi Motiwala, and Uorfi Javed — each navigating a game built on deception, manipulation, and strategy.
