This film faced 34 legal cases, still earned 225% profit, made lead actress an overnight star, movie is..., lead actor was... There are several films in Bollywood that have landed in legal controversy prior its release. Today, we will talk about one such movie that really underwent through trouble seas, and dealt with 34 legal cases. Despite being in bad publicity, the film did exceedingly well and turned out to be a box office hit. Released in 1982, the film we are referring to is BR Chopra's Nikaah . Starring Raj Babbar, Deepak Parashar, and Salma Agha, the film was based on the concept of triple Talaq. According to IMDB, the film was initially titled, Talaq Talaq Talaq. However, the makers later changed it to Nikaah. During that time, the film as well as the storyline didn't settle well with the certain section of Muslims, and as a result the makers of Nikaah faced shocking 34 court cases. Many people intervened during the screening, and asked to stop the film. While, some just threw the posters out on the road in anger. Not just this, lead actress Salma Agha was threatened and harassed. There were several outrageous letters sent to her, warning to leave India and move back to London. Despite all the controversy, the film did surprisingly well and became a box office success. Made on a budget of Rs 4 crore, Nikaah earned Rs 9 crore, making a 225% of profit. The success of the film catapulted Salma to overnight stardom, leading to several offers for many other films. Other than Salma, Raj Babbar, and Deepak Parashar, the cast also consisted of Tanuja, Hina Kausar, Iftekhar and Asrani. Those who wish to watch the film, you can catch it on YouTube, Hotstar or Amazon Prime. Nikaah is surely way ahead of its time, showcasing a quite bold theme out and out.

The two had a strong connection and went on to have two children, Juhi Babbar and Arya Babbar. But life took a surprising turn when Raj met the charismatic and fearless actress Smita Patil on the sets of 'Bheegi Palkein'. Raj was completely taken in by Smita's charm.

While many criticised Raj for leaving Nadira, others judged Smita for being a 'homewrecker'. But for Raj and Smita, love meant everything. They faced the world together, boldly and unapologetically. A heartbreaking loss In 1986, tragedy struck. Smita passed away due to complications during childbirth. Her death was sudden and devastating, not just for Raj, but also for her fans.

Amid this deep emotional pain, Raj found comfort in someone who, like him, was also dealing with her own heartbreak, the legendary actress Rekha. When Raj found comfort in Rekha It was during this lonely and painful time that Raj and Rekha grew close. In an old interview reported by IBTimes, Raj confessed, 'Yes, our relationship helped me in a way. We drifted together because of certain circumstances. At that time, Rekha had broken off from a long-standing relationship.' Their connection came from shared experiences of hurt, confusion, and the need for emotional healing. Though short-lived, it was real in its own way. Raj further explained the nature of their relationship, saying, 'I was not as involved with Rekha as I was with Smita. The intensity wasn't there. At the same time I cannot say that we were friends.' Despite their strong bond, Raj and Rekha's relationship didn't last. Both realised it started from a place of heartbreak and wasn't built to last. Raj Babbar, still married with children, chose to go back to his first wife, Nadira. This decision deeply upset Rekha, leaving her heartbroken and struggling to move on.

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.

Watch: Shoaib Malik questions 'mindset' of Pakistani team, sings Bollywood song
The much-anticipated India vs Pakistan clash yesterday saw India dominate their rivals comprehensively. In doing so, they all but eliminated Pakistan from the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The disappointment among Pakistanis and its cricketing fraternity was evident. Cricketer-turned pundit Shoaib Malik expressed his emotions in a unique way—by singing Dil Ke Arman Ansuon Men Bah Gaye from the film Nikaah. A video shared by ex-Pakistan pacer Shoaib Akhtar on social media showed Malik responding to the match result with the song when asked about Pakistan's performance. Fellow former cricketer Mohammad Hafeez, also present in the video, reacted with a remorseful smile. 'Today's state of affairs explained by Shoaib Malik,' Akhtar captioned the post, which quickly gained traction on social media. Shoaib Malik's criticism of Pakistani team Malik was also very strong in his criticism of Pakistan's national team, questioning the team's mindset after the defeat to India. "Our players have 0 international exposure," said Malik. "As a nation, we look for a shoulder (for support)." Malik used the example of Pakistan's middle-overs when discussing his criticism of individuals not taking responsibility within the team.
