They gave each other the courage to do that. So if you have the strength and the will to find that courage and self-belief by yourself, that's great. I don't know if I can do that. But it always helps to have someone who believes in you. I know, even in my life, the minute I started surrounding myself with people who think of me a certain way, I feel like I need to live up to that, as opposed to people who think that this p

Pahlaj Nihalani opens up on director Sikandar Bharti; says, “I don’t think the film industry gave him his due”

Sikandar Bharti died a lonely death. Like all filmmakers who leave their best behind them, Sikandar was largely friendless in the film fraternity in his final years.

Producer and former chairperson of the Central Board Of Film Certification, Pahlaj Nihalani. “Nihalani regrets not being able to stay in touch with Sikandar. “Since Covid, I’ve been struggling with my own health issues, so I was unable to stay connected with Sikandar.

REVEALED: Meet Bhagyashri Borse, the mystery girl who features in Kartik Aaryan-starrer Chandu Champion

The trailer of Chandu Champion was launched with a lot of fanfare last Saturday at Gwalior, lead actor Kartik Aaryan’s hometown. The trailer caught the attention and moviegoers instantly recognized most of the actors depicted in the promo besides Kartik.

The way her scene is presented – she is seen clapping for Kartik who in turn smiles at her gesture – made people believe that she is the love interest and probably the female lead in the film. However, her identity was not unveiled either in the trailer description or anywhere else by the film’s team. Bollywood Hungama, however, has learned about this mystery girl in Chandu Champion. She is Bhagyashri Borse, a model turned actress. She was seen last year in a small role in Yaariyan 2 (2023). In this film, she played the role of Raajlaxmi, the former girlfriend of Abhay Singh Katyal (Abhay Singh Katyal) who dies in an accident. A few months after the release of
