Gracie Singh

Even after doing superhit films like Lagaan and Munnabhai M.B.B.S., Gracie Singh had to take up two minutes roles in films like Ganga Jal and Hum Aapke Dil Mein Rehte Hain. And later after not getting good roles, the actor stepped away from acting. Several experts also suggested that the reason behind her leaving the Hindi Film industry could also be because of her rigidity towards no body-exposure.   

Tanushree Dutta

One of the most controversial Bollywood female leads, Tanushree Dutta also had hard time in finding work in Bollywood. The actor was once a sensation after she made her debut in 2005 opposite Sonu Sood and Emran Hashmi in Aashiq Banaya Aapne. However, she later was somehow surviving in the entertainment industry until she filled complaint against veteran actor Nana Patekar during the #MeToo movement. The actor even said that no body is offering her work in Bollywood after she revealed the truth of Nana.

Bhumika Chawla

Bhumika Chawla is another Bollywood actor who first opened up about not getting work and later she even stepped aside from the Hindi film industry. Even after making it big with Salman Khan starrer Tere Naam, Bhoomika Chawla had hard time finding good and recognition worthy roles for her. Hence, she even opted for South-Indian film Industry. She was last seen in Sushant Singh Starrer-MS Dhoni: The Untold Story, she played the character of Dhoni’s sister.

Big B recounted his experience at the ISPL finals match. While expressing his sadness over the defeat, he recognized the better performance of the opposing team. He gave credit to the opposing team and declared his determination to return with greater resilience in the next season. Tigers from Kolkata emerged victorious in the first-ever ISPL competition, defeating ‘Majhi’ Mumbai in the final on Friday.

He also shared his experience of getting mobbed outside the stadium and said he was stuck at the entrance gate for over an hour. The crowds were so enthusiastic that they didn’t give him even an inch to move. Compromised security eventually got them through, but by the time they made it to their seats, their batting innings were over and they knew the score was dismal.

Earlier, it was reported that Bachchan had been admitted to the hospital. The actor was admitted to the hospital after claiming to be out of breath, and it was said that he needed to undergo heart surgery.

The viral clip showed Salman, Aamir, and Shah Rukh performing Chaiyya Chaiyya from Dil Se, the towel step from Jeene Ke Hain Chaar Din from Mujhse Shaadi Karogi, and Masti Ki Pathshala from Rang De Basanti.

On the day first, Anant and Radhika’s pre-wedding celebration featured a variety of entertainment events, such as Cirque du Solei performances.
