Anil Kapoor’s dad never gave a hit, family lived in Raj Kapoor’s servant quarters: ‘A sh*thole’ | Bollywood News

Published by Parlour News

Today, the Kapoor surname is synonymous with Bollywood. Boney Kapoor has produced several notable Hindi films, Anil Kapoor remains among its biggest stars, and the family’s legacy now spans multiple generations. But long before all this, there was a one-room kholi in Mumbai’s Tilak Nagar where the entire Kapoor family lived together. There were common toilets, mounting debts, and a producer who never quite found commercial success despite spending decades in the film industry. Surinder Kapoor was born in Peshawar and moved to Mumbai after the Partition. Looking for work, he reached out to his cousin, Prithviraj Kapoor, who invited him to the city. In a 2009 interview with Rediff, Surinder recalled that films were never part of his original plan. But Prithviraj Kapoor changed the course of his life by introducing him to filmmaker K Asif. “I came to Mumbai in 1950. I was 27 years old then. I am from Peshawar. When I told my cousin Prithviraj Kapoor that I wanted to come to Mumbai for a job, he asked me to come …

Though Shah Rukh Khan has invested in various properties across the world, the actor’s recent property purchase in Delhi’s upscale Panchsheel Park seems to be a very personal decision.

For the unversed, both Shah Rukh and Gauri were born and raised in Delhi before they shifted to Mumbai for the actor to pursue his dream of becoming an actor, eventually making Mumbai their permanent home. As per the report, …

For over five decades, Galaxy Apartments in Bandra has been more than just an address. It has been the heart of the Khan family, the backdrop to Salman Khan’s superstardom, and a landmark that millions of fans have visited just to catch a glimpse of the actor waving from his balcony. Now, with reports suggesting that the Bollywood actor is finally preparing to move out after living there for over 52 years, curiosity around the iconic apartment has reached an all-time high.

A young man from Indore who dreamed bigger Before becoming one of Hindi cinema’s most celebrated screenwriters, Salim Khan was simply a young man from Indore with dreams far bigger than his surroundings. Ironically, his earliest writing assignments were love letters. His life changed during a wedding in Indore attended by several Bombay film producers, including filmmaker K Amarnath. …

Veteran actor Sharmila Tagore has shared candid details about her relationship with late cricketer Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi, fondly known as Tiger Pataudi, revealing that the two lived together before marriage, faced death threats over their interfaith union, and built a relationship rooted in patience, respect and companionship. Sharmila shared that she and Tiger had started living together before tying the knot. “We lived together before getting married because it was more convenient.

Recalling the story on Kaun Banega Crorepati, Sharmila had said …

Dutch hero Brian Brobbey, who encountered a gangster and lived to tell the tale | Football News

Published by Webster

Brian Brobbey, the Dutch striker whose brace sank the Swedes 5-1, was at the right place at the right time. Yet, four years ago, he was at the wrong place at the right time, a happenstance that would have cost not only his career, but his life when he met a school friend who he did not know was a gangster. After the saga was settled, he told the Dutch press: “I have unknowingly brought a lot of shame to my club (then Ajax) and country. One day I will make you proud,” he said. He fulfilled the promise in Houston on Saturday with two classic fox-in-the-box strikes. A flick and a deflection, goals that would not be immortalised, but invaluable for a side clanking to find its rhythm. The two goals captured the virtues of Brobbey, an Ajax alumni with mid-table Premier League side Sunderland, but with covetous glances lurking towards him. He is a muscular barge-into-the box striker, but with dexterous feet. He wins the battle of the muscle with his markers, just …

Actor Aarya Babbar has opened up about his father Raj Babbar’s relationship with late actor Smita Patil, saying that while it may have once been painful for the family, everyone involved has long moved on. Raj was married to theatre veteran Nadira Babbar when he fell in love with Smita Patil. Raj and Nadira had two children, Aarya and Juhi. Raj later married Smita, and the couple welcomed son Prateik Babbar. Smita died shortly after childbirth in 1986. Raj later reconciled with Nadira. In a conversation with journalist Vickey Lalwani, Aarya spoke about growing up amid the fallout of Raj and Smita’s relationship. “I was only three or four years old then, so I do not remember what exactly was happening at home when Smita maa came into my father’s life,” Aarya said. “People often ask me how I feel about it, but there is not much to say now. Even today, everyone is still carrying those emotions.” ALSO READ: Drishyam 3 movie review: A close shave for Mohanlal, Jeethu Joseph as Georgekutty battles himself …

If you’ve heard “Jaiye Sajana” from Dhurandhar 2, and chances are you have, you already know the voice. What you may not know is the story behind it. Jasmine Sandlas, born in Jalandhar and raised in California, has been in the music industry for nearly two decades. Over a hundred songs, four albums, and Bollywood hits like “Yaar Na Miley” and “Taras” to her name. But behind the career is a story she doesn’t often tell — of immigration, family struggles, loss, and why she almost gave up on music more than once. Jasmine was in 8th or 9th standard when her family left Punjab for the United States. Her father had been a law school valedictorian with a powerful, well-respected job back home. None of that carried over. “We landed in New York. I didn’t speak English. Whatever was the local school, my father got us admitted there. We used to live in a one-bedroom apartment which was a low-income home, and we were 6 people,” she told Ranveer Allahbadia on his podcast. Her …
