Neha Bhasin opens up on battling fat-shaming and why she attempted suicide
Neha Bhasin reveals she attempted suicide at 20
During her appearance on Bharti Singh and Haarsh Limbachiyaa's Bharti TV podcast, Neha Bhasin recounted the incident that drove her to a breaking point. She explained how, during a meeting in a conference room, someone played a video on a large screen and circled her stomach, saying, 'See, you are so fat. That's why we can't release the video.' At that time, she weighed only 50 kg. Deeply hurt and frustrated, Neha went home and, in an impulsive act of desperation, consumed over half a bottle of fat burners in an attempt to end her life, which left her vomiting for two days. Her bandmates had no idea what she had gone through. Neha also shared that after a heated dispute with the channel, she tried to speak directly with its head, but another man entered the room during the conversation and proceeded to harass her.
Neha's work in the industry
After Viva broke up in 2004, Neha shifted her focus to playback singing. One of her first notable songs, Kuch Khass Hai, earned her a Filmfare nomination. She went on to win the Vijay Award for Best Female Playback Singer in 2008 for Pesugiren Pesugiren. Later, Neha added two more Filmfare Awards to her name for the songs Jag Ghoomeya and Paani Ravi Da.

Why Did Deepika Padukone Agree To Join Allu Arjun's Film After Being Removed From Spirit?
Last Updated: It was on June 7 that the makers of AA22xA6 dropped a video welcoming Deepika Padukone on board. It was recently announced that Deepika Padukone has joined hands with Atlee for his next movie, AA22xA6. The film, which also stars Allu Arjun and Rashmika Mandanna in the lead, is touted to be an action-entertainer. However, do you know why Deepika Padukone decided to come on board for this movie? If a report by Filmfare is to be believed, Deepika Padukone will be seen in a fierce avatar in this Atlee film. One of the reasons that the actress agreed to be a part of this project was because of the way her character has been etched and designed. Reportedly, Deepika will be seen playing a warrior queen in this movie. She is likely to commence prepping up for her part soon. It was on June 7 that the makers of AA22xA6 dropped a video welcoming Deepika Padukone on board. The video began with the actress discussing the script with Atlee before they got on the set and started preparing for the movie. In the caption of the clip, the makers described Deepika as a 'queen" who is ready to 'conquer". While early rumours hinted that the film might feature a two-hero storyline, Allu Arjun's team recently clarified that the actor will be seen in dual roles, adding another intriguing layer to the film's narrative. The film is set to go on floors in mid-2025, with a grand release planned for 2026. It should also be noted that Deepika Padukone signed this movie after Sandeep Reddy Vanga removed her from Prabhas' starrer Spirit. Reports suggest that her demands, including eight-hour workdays, a high salary, and a share in the film's profits, did not sit well with director Vanga. Deepika, a new mother, is reportedly seeking to balance her work and personal life by reducing her working hours. Besides Spirit, it is also being said that Deepika Padukone might be removed from Nag Ashwin's Kalki 2. Reportedly, since Deepika is 'hellbent" on her working conditions, it is turning out to be a 'big headache" to the makers. It is said that she is not willing to adjust her work schedule or other aspects related to her dates. It is for this reason that Nag Ashwin is planning to replace her in the movie. However, there is no official confirmation to this as of now. First Published: July 12, 2025, 07:19 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Ajay Devgn has rejected many big films. These include Ranveer Singh's film ' Bajirao Mastani '. Initially, Ranveer's role was offered to Ajay, but it is said that Ajay could not agree to the conditions put forth by the makers. In such a situation, Ajay withdrew from this film. Later, this film was offered to Ranveer and his career took off from there. Ranveer was a young, passionate actor, and he aced the character in the 2015 movie. How much did Bajirao Mastani earn? Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone and Priyanka Chopra starrer Bajirao Mastani, narrates the story of the Maratha Peshwa Bajirao and his Mastani.
