Shammi Kapoor was sitting by the bushes to get his make-up done, Aditya Pancholi saw him being disrespected: Zarina Wahab | Bollywood News

Aditya Pancholi appeared in various negative roles in Hindi films across the 1990s but as per his wife, actor Zarina Wahab, Aditya refused to accept roles of character artiste as he got older because he once saw veteran actor Shammi Kapoor getting lesser than ideal treatment on set. Zarina claimed in a new interview that Aditya once saw Shammi Kapoor getting his make-up done near the bushes in a garden and found it extremely disrespectful. In a chat with Lehren Retro, Zarina shared that Aditya was once shooting with Shammi in a bungalow in Juhu. One of the rooms in the bungalow was cleaned up for Aditya to get ready. When he reached that room, which even had an AC, he asked if Shammi Kapoor had arrived, and learnt that the ‘Yahoo’ star was already there, but he was sitting in the garden.

Meet actor who started as an AD, worked with Salman Khan and Hrithik Roshan, but faced huge professional setback due to a controversy

Trigger Warning: This article contains references to suicide. The Bollywood industry has its own ups and downs. In an industry where many aspiring actors struggle to get that one big break and audiences’ attention, we’re talking about an actor who worked with the likes of Salman Khan and Hrithik Roshan, but one controversy became a major highlight of his life and led to a significant professional setback.  We’re talking about none other than Sooraj Pancholi, the son of Aditya Pancholi and Zarina Wahab. He started off his career as an assistant director on films like Guzaarish (2010) and Ek Tha Tiger (2012). Even before he could establish a name for himself, he engulfed himself in a controversy relating to the Jiah Khan Murder case. Sooraj was arrested in 2013 for abetment to suicide based on a note by his then-girlfriend, Jiah Khan. The Bombay High Court granted him bail, and he was released after 22 days in jail. Later, the Ghajini actress’ mother, Rabia Khan, demanded a CBI inquiry, and in 2018, he was formally …

“Don’t Agree With The Way He Handled Things”

(Courtesy: SoorajPancholi, BabaSiddique ) New Delhi: Sooraj Pancholi, son of the actor couple Aditya Pancholi and Zarina Wahab, recently opened up on his equation with his father. Sooraj told Siddharth Kannan that he doesn’t “agree with the way Aditya Pancholi has handled things in life”. The actor said, “My father has a certain image as this bad boy person, who has done many things wrong. I don’t agree with it, of course, he has done things wrong. He is my father, I love him no matter what baap ek hi hota hai. I don’t agree with the way he has handled things in his life but in a way I have forgiven him because I know I am his only support in life. I want to make him proud.”  Aditya Pancholi was accused of allegedly raping actress Pooja Bedi’s underage domestic help. In 2019, Kangana Ranaut filed a sexual assault complaint against Aditya Pancholi, whom she reportedly dated in the early 2000s.  In the same interview, Sooraj Pancholi said, “At that time, mujhe pata bhi …

EXCLUSIVE| Sooraj Pancholi opens up in tell-all interview after acquittal: Only I was there for Jiah Khan in her worst time, not her family | Bollywood

It’s late evening. The paps and media stationed outside his house since Friday morning, are all gone. We enter Sooraj Pancholi’s house, and he comes to greet us, dressed in a simple black t shirt and jeans. He sighs when we call him a free man- he was acquitted on April 28 of abetment in actor Jiah Khan’s suicide case. Actor Sooraj Pancholi has been acquitted in the suicide abetment case of late actor Jiah Khan. The house wears a quiet look. We begin to get a lowdown on everything that happened in this 32-year-old’s life in the last decade. “I am tired,” he says. One wonders if he is referring to just that day or the past years: The special CBI court has acquitted you in Jiah’s suicide case. How does the term ‘free’ make you feel? I am still trying to believe the fact that I don’t have to go to the court anymore. I spent my entire 20s in the courts. I am 32 now. When this case was put on me, …
