Priyanka Chopra's mother Madhu Chopra calls 'nepotism is coined by frustrated people'!

Despite being well-known for her candid views on films and social issues, Priyanka Chopra seems to be a case of the apple falling from the tree. Her mother, Madhu Chopra, is likewise rather vocal. During a recent interview, Madhu expressed her bold opinion that the term "nepotism" was coined by displeased people. "Nobody will put money on you if you are somebody's son; you have to have talent," she said.

During a media chat, Madhu discussed the ongoing discussion around nepotism in Bollywood and stated that when there is genuine skill and merit, the issue becomes irrelevant.

She stressed that it is the inclination of parents to provide their children opportunities and that these kinds of procedures have been employed for many years in all areas of the economy. She did, however, emphasize that their potential must be realized if their position is to be supported.

She believes that because nepotism is unsustainable, people who don't deserve a position eventually lose out. She also expressed the view that actual talent is what draws investors, and that a person's family connection to the company does not guarantee funding.

Finally, Madhu claimed that those who were displeased and unable to accept this reality were the ones who came up with the word nepotism.

After a run of setbacks in 2008, Priyanka had previously expressed concerns about her career, pointing out that she did not have the advantage of being a "nepo baby."

She recalled being afraid, as did her mother, who advised her to consider having a backup plan when she approached the age of thirty, which is considered advanced in the film industry.

The actress from Don 2 disclosed that the industry traditionally favored younger actresses, so her mother, who was business-savvy, pushed her to think about other income options. She said that she decided to give producing a go after hearing this discourse.

In addition, Chopra expressed her extreme worry over the box office failure of six of her films, underscoring the challenges faced by outsiders in Bollywood.

Unlike multigenerational performers who often get second chances, she did not have the familial support system needed to overcome setbacks, which compounded her anxieties.

Manoj Bajpayee talks about increasing number of divorces in Bollywood!

Actor Manoj Bajpayee advanced through the ranks, winning a National Award after moving up from supporting roles. Having spent a considerable amount of time in Bollywood, he has experienced both its highs and lows.

He has also personally witnessed the problems that beset the industry. The actor recently discussed his opinions on the drawbacks of Bollywood in an interview.

Manoj Bajpayee, who is well-known for his roles in movies like Sirf Ek Bandaa Kaafi Hai and The Family Man, was having a conversation with Sushant Sinha. They had a good chat, during which the journalist questioned him about the realities of Bollywood's dark side, which includes lavish parties, divorce, and other problems.

The actor from Gulmohar shared his opinions on the matter, stating that many people need work and that the Hindi film industry is quite small. He said, “If someone is ever caught doing the wrong thing in some corner of the industry, that doesn’t prove anything. Me and my friends and co-stars also belong to the same industry, and I can tell 95% of them are very passionate very sincere not only about the films they are doing but also to their family and near and dear ones and their friends. A few incidents here and there cannot prove that the whole industry is like that.”

Regarding the growing divorce rate in the industry, he stated, “If you go to Tees Hazari Court and ask about the divorce rate, you will realize where we have come today, where relationships and marriages are breaking every day. Our society adopted the nuclear family trend, and there are benefits of it too, but the harm that nuclear family trend caused you can see it in the courts.”

Manoj Bajpayee further disclosed, “So, is the industry not part of society? People who belong to the same society are part of the industry. When people belong to the same society, then isn’t it obvious that the change in society will also be visible in the industry? Previously, in the same industry, there were not as many divorces as there are today. But in its behavior, the industry is very open-minded and don’t tie themselves to any state or country, which is quite a good thing,” he told, adding that creative people must be open-minded.

In a podcast conversation, JanhviKapoor acknowledged, "I was always paranoid about losing my parents, even at that age. Every time they’d go out at night for an event, or travel for a day without me."

She clarified, "Even small things, like they’re shopping at duty free and I’ve boarded the plane with my nanny, I’d always be like, ‘They’re not going to board the flight, they’re not going to come back home’. I’d wake up at night and sometimes go into their room to check if they were breathing. There was a weird paranoia."

As she's gotten older, Janhvi Kapoor claimed that her maternal instincts have grown stronger. She said she was impressed by the Indian tradition of caring for aging parents.

She revealed, "After a certain age, they become our kids. I know that I will give my father a lot more allowances to maybe not be there emotionally for me in a way that I assumed a father should be there, just because I know now it’s my time to be there for him."

“I think we’re too hard on our parents. Everyone’s f**ked up because of their parents, no one has it right. But they’re also messed up because of their parents. No one has followed a handbook, so you need to forgive yourself and forgive them. Just give them love and be there,” she further revealed.

Dono star Rajveer Deol to reveal on being scared of father Sunny Deol’s onscreen persona!

Sunny Deol is well-known as an actor for his memorable lines in addition to the roles he has performed in movies. He is particularly adept at making viewers feel horrible for the villains. When Rajveer Deol was a child, he used to feel horrible for the bad guys in his father's action flicks because he knew that the seasoned actor would give them a brutal thrashing.

Sunny Deol, who starred as the main character in multiple action films in the 1990s, approaches acting with a sense of "honesty," according to his son Rajveer Deol. Due to this quality, he stands out among his contemporaries. Rajveer Deol revealed in a recent interview with a media outlet that he frequently felt "scared" by his father's on-screen persona and that he virtually always felt pity for the villains. He revealed, “There’s a specialty with Dad that I don’t think anyone else can do. There’s honesty in his bones and blood. When he screams at someone and wants to get revenge, you feel it. You want to do it yourself. I used to feel bad for all the villains. I used to see dad get angry (in films) and would know what is to come. I would be like, ‘Oh poor guys, don’t do this!’ I was very scared of that.”

The son of Sunny and Pooja Deol, Rajveer Deol, made his acting debut in the Dono movie, which was released on October 5. In this love story, Paloma Dhillon, an actor who is the daughter of Poonam Dhillon and producer Ashok Thakeria, also makes her acting debut. The romance between two complete strangers set against the backdrop of a destination wedding is the movie's main topic. The first film that Avnish Barjatya, the director's son, produced and directed was a romantic comedy-drama that was released on Friday. Avnish worked with his father as an assistant director on a number of his father's movies, including Prem Ratan Dhan Payo and Uunchai, before this.

Taare Zameen Par star Darsheel Safary wants to work with Aamir Khan again!

Being a global sensation before the age of ten is a rare occurrence; it doesn't happen often. One of the fortunate ones was Darsheel Safary, who rose to fame as a result of his costarring role in Aamir Khan's debut film Taare Zameen Par. The now 26-year-old admitted that despite the fact that it might have seemed like a dream come true, the demands and even the excessive dedication from others made him feel stifled.

Darsheel Safary claimed in a recent conversation that he was under pressure from both internal and external sources to demonstrate his aptitude. The actor said that he often questioned his ability to live up to everyone's high expectations for him. He revealed, “I was also juggling with studies and so was selective. I wanted to take the best step possible. After school was over, I decided to take a break and introspect about what I wanted from life.” 

The actor claimed that he experimented with theatre around this time and took a seven or eight-year break from acting in motion pictures. He travelled, worked on his acting skills, and focused on theater productions. Then he began to look for scripts.

When the host asked him how he handled it, Darsheel replied he at first didn't comprehend the love and attention he got. He stated that he was only ten years old and that it had grown a little too much for him as others held him in praise. He revealed, “I would go home and cry every day. There were people of my parents, and grandparents’ age, who would come up to me and show so much love. Everything would get registered in my mind but I did not understand what was happening. What’s the hype about?”

When asked in the same interview if he thought Aamir Khan didn't actively promote his career after his debut movie Taare Zameen Par, Darsheel reacted, “Not at all! I am very shy. I get awkward with these things. I can’t tell you how many times I have been told, ‘Are you in touch with Aamir uncle? Drop him a text, call him, this and that.’ But I feel shy doing this. I don’t know how to put it in words. It should always happen organically.”

Darsheel said and disclosed that Aamir Khan is aware of all of his current projects despite not working with the star once more. He revealed, “This concept of, ‘tumpe kisi ka haath hai‘, I have never understood that and I have never expected that as well. In fact, after Taare Zameen Par, almost every project that I have done, somewhere or the other, it has been communicated to Aamir that this is the project that I am doing. It’s mostly the case, just to get his blessings.”

Darsheel expressed his desire to take part in an Aamir Khan movie if the opportunity arose and a project was developed. He disclosed, “I want to be a part of that kind of process, not like, ‘Hi sir, I am here, I am looking to work with you again.’ Which I am very excited to, because it has been 15 years since the film, so I would love to share with him what I have learnt from that one experience. I want to show him what I have become, through his guidance.”

Darsheel added that he last interacted with Aamir when filming his 2022 movie Laal Singh Chaddha. He is anxiously awaiting the release of his forthcoming movie Hukus Bukus.

 

Vishal Bhardwaj opens up on facing issues in raising money for films!

Vishal Bhardwaj is a talented filmmaker from Bollywood. Over the years, he has worked on a number of groundbreaking films, such as Satya and Omkara. He actually collaborates with the talented Tabu on a number of films, including Khufiya, Haider, Maachis, and Maqbool. In a recent interview, the director talked about their recent collaboration and recognized that, unlike Rohit Shetty, another director, having someone as 'prolific' as Tabu doesn't ensure the movie will have a high budget.

The acclaimed director Vishal Bhardwaj was recently questioned in an interview with a newspaper about if it was difficult for him to raise money for Khufiya despite having a star performer like Tabu. The director retorted that not everyone could manage big budgets like Rohit Shetty could.

He was quoted saying, “It is the reality of the market. If I want a budget like a Rohit Shetty movie, then I must deliver a hit like him. This is something we artists should accept. We all have our limitations, even Rohit Shetty. He can't make a film like Christopher Nolan."

The fact that Vishal Bhardwaj is making his feature debut once more with Khufiya after a five-year break is noteworthy. Upon being questioned about the protracted break, he revealed that he started writing Khufiya in 2016 and finished the first draft in 2018. “At the time, it had a male protagonist. I wanted to work with Irrfan, who was unwell. After he passed away, I thought of changing the gender and making the film with Tabu as the protagonist. The budget I required for this wasn't available for any female star. But Netflix gave me the confidence to make the movie that I wanted to make,” told the director.

Vishal Bhardwaj also disclosed information about his ongoing projects. He revealed that he "worked intensely for over a year on that," when speaking about his most recent movie, Pataakha, which was released in 2018. However, it was stopped before he could begin shooting. Radhika Madan and Sanya Malhotra starred in the Midnight's Children (1981) adaption by Salman Rushdie.

He also revealed that he was developing a series for Prime Video based on IC 814, the December 1999 hijacking of Indian Airlines Flight 814. However, the OTT platform "developed cold feet" after the uproar surrounding Saif Ali Khan's Tandav series, which was accused of hurting religious sensitivities.

In the past, Alia also informed her followers that she would be producing the movie through her company, Eternal Sunshine Productions, in partnership with Karan Johar's Dharma Productions.  Her heartfelt post read, “Presenting #Jigra, directed by the extremely talented @vasanbala and produced by @dharmamovies & @eternalsunshineproduction.

Film Jigra is scheduled to release on September 27, 2024.
