Akkshay Dogra: The industry often pushes you into taking a break
Akkshay Dogra Akkshay Dogra stepped away from television around 2018 after feeling increasingly disconnected from its storytelling format. In a chat with Mumbai Mirror, the actor, who has been part of shows like 12/24 Karol Bagh, Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon, Punar Vivah, Do Dil Ek Jaan and Waaris, shares, 'I did Sankat Mochan in 2022, but in reality, my hiatus from television began after Dil Hi Toh Hai. I started feeling disconnected from the storytelling format of television, and that feeling only grew over time. I had been writing for TV briefly and working on my own stories occasionally. Eventually, the desire to explore different kinds of narratives led me to take a complete break from the medium. It wasn't necessarily a shift to OTT, but like many actors, I was drawn to stories that stood out.' He admits the transition hasn't been easy. He shares, 'I still don't feel I've fully established myself as an actor, especially in the OTT space. That said, I've been fortunate to be part of something recently and I hope to share more details soon.' Recently seen in Badass Begum, Akkshay reflects on the unpredictability of the profession. He says, 'Dry spells can be difficult, not just financially but also when it comes to staying visible. Sometimes the roles don't excite you; other times, you're not being cast at all. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo Initially, I told myself I was taking a break to focus on other things, but deep down, it's hard not to feel the weight of being out of work.' He adds, 'Unless you're at a stage in your career where you can afford to take time off, the decision to step away is rarely your own. More often, it's the industry that pushes you into a break.' Akkshay credits spirituality for helping him stay centred. 'I follow Buddhism closely, and I believe people in creative fields go through intense emotional cycles. The only way to cope is to simplify life. Remind yourself of what you do have, stop comparing your journey with others and cut down on wants. That won't eliminate the problem, but it helps you stay grounded,' he concludes.

Neetu Singh's Early Life and Debut The actress that we are talking about is none other than Neetu Kapoor. Born in a Punjabi Sikh family in Delhi on 8 July 1958 as Harneet Kaur, she entered Bollywood at a very young age.

Neel Samarthh: People are more inclined towards showing off now rather than maintain privacy
Actor Neel Samarthh, known for his roles in Tera Kya Hoga Alia, Waaris, Kundali Bhagya, and Sapnon Ki Chalang, is currently seen in Sabse Bada Rupaiya. He says that while people often talk about the need for privacy, social media is a platform that is often used to show off your personal life. The actor who will soon be seen in the web series Rose Garden, adds that people often post so much content just to talk about their achievements, routine and where they are currently. 'I feel that people nowadays are more inclined towards showing off. It honestly saddens me that many have lost touch with the essence of being wise. There's a growing sense of pretentiousness constantly posting countless stories and sharing every detail of their daily routine and whereabouts. What they often don't realize is that such overexposure could one day lead to serious consequences,' he says. He adds that he has seen this happen even with his close friends. 'I've seen this firsthand with some friends who have done reality shows. After coming out, they've started posting things that neither make sense nor serve any real purpose. I do understand, though, that for many, it has become an addiction, an endless cycle of seeking validation. But in the long run, this could seriously affect their mental well-being. I just hope people become aware of this before it's too late. I also have people around me who are completely broke and deeply unhappy in real life, yet their social media tells a completely different story, one of joy, success, and perfection. It's heartbreaking to witness. I genuinely wish I could tell them to stop chasing fake attention and instead focus on discovering what truly brings them peace and soulful happiness,' he says. Talking about himself, he says, 'If I talk about myself, I genuinely believe in real things. I don't want my life to be an illusion created for social media. I know some people might say I don't post regularly or that I'm not very active online but honestly, my real life matters more to me than putting on a show for the internet. I don't want to show off; I want to live in the moment, feel nature, and truly experience life. Every moment I spend with myself, I want it to be authentic. ' The actor adds that being active on social media isn't really the only way to do well in the industry. 'People often say that to get work, it's important to constantly showcase yourself on social media. I partially agree with that, but not entirely. If that were completely true, then every influencer would've already become an actor or a star. There's more to success than just visibility; it's about depth, talent, and staying true to who you are,' he says.

This actress once romanced a hero whom she called uncle in real life uncle, film became a superhit.., the actress is..,the film is…
This actress once romanced a hero whom she called uncle in real life uncle, film became a superhit.., the actress is.., the film is… In the glitzy and glamorous world of Bollywood, there is often a lot that happens than what meets the eye. While we only witness the on-screen romance of actors that steals our hearts, there is often something hidden behind the scenes that makes it to the silver screen. One such tale is of the times from 1977 when a young actress romanced a much older hero on screen, but in reality, she used to refer to him as 'Uncle'. This ironic story is of none other than Neetu Kapoor. During the shoot of the film Dharam Veer, Neetu Kapoor, the lead actor, and Jeetendra. The film featured iconic actors like Dharmendra, Zeenat Aman as other leads. Neetu Kapoor was 17 years younger than Jeetendra and always referred to him as 'uncle' in real life. Before making her debut as the main lead, Neetu Kapoor had already acted opposite Jeetendra in the 1969 movie Waaris, in which she played a small part of a girl who called him 'uncle' in a quite natural manner. So, whenever she had to shoot as a romantic pair with him later, it was quite a peculiar and mildly uncomfortable circumstance. He had to tell her that she needed to be more professional, particularly because the distributors would not like the correlation if they knew that she called him 'uncle'. There is an absolute chain of age difference between the male and female leads, and the audience doesn't seem to care at all because the roles are perfectly presented. The audience's acceptance of such portrayals is peculiar, as were the stark age gaps and unusual dynamics in real relationships. Neetu worked splendidly with Jeetendra, and even though their relationship off-screen was much more paternal, the film Dharam Veer was a success because of the on-screen portrayal. Not only did the film do extraordinarily well at the box office in India, but it was also incredibly popular in other parts of the world, where more than 3 crore tickets were sold. While people appreciated the captivating plot and stunning visuals, very few noticed the odd facts about the film's production. Such narratives talk about the sheer professionalism and impeccable acting of the celebrities that did not transcend their real-life relationship on the reel screen.
