Rasha Thadani and Aaman Devgan's banter in an unseen clip from Azaad leaves internet impressed: ‘Talented nepo kid'
The digital medium has managed to give several films a new life after they failed as theatrical releases. A big example of the same is Raveena Tandon's daughter Rasha Thadani and Ajay Devgn's nephew Aaman Devgan's debut film Azaad. Directed by Abhishek Kapoor, the period action drama bombed at the box office. The total collection failed to even match up to the budget it was made on. However, when Azaad arrived on OTT giving a larger section of the audience access to the film, it won hearts and received rave reviews. Well, this week Rasha and Aaman are being showered with praises by netizens for a viral scene from their debut film.
A post shared by Netflix India (@netflix_in)
In this viral clip, Rasha Thadani threatens to expose Aaman Devgan after she catches him stealing and lying about it. But he tries to woo her with his charm so she keeps his secret and does not complain about him. Rasha as Janaki plays smart and agrees not to snitch on Aaman but only if he races horses with her. Aaman then taunts her and asks her to go race in the Ardh Kumbh. Hearing this, Rasha reminds him that women and the poor are not allowed to take part in the race, as they are not considered equals. Aaman jokes that in this case they are very similar and agrees, suggesting the lake outside the village as their meeting point. Rasha and Aaman's diction and command over Hindi is quite impressive in this clip.
Lauding the debutantes in the comment section below, one social media user shared, 'This two newcomers acted so well than other newcomers..,' whereas another comment read, 'These two had already rocked the scene and also will do in their near future.' A fan gushed, 'Ohhhh myyyyyyy god they acted really well 💯👌,' while another wrote, 'Wait! He's actually good at acting! Why no one talks about this talented nepo kid???' Meanwhile, a netizen stated, 'Rasha is also good but Aman! He's on another level 💥.'
Netizens are now eagerly waiting for Rasha and Aaman to announce their next projects.

Deepika Padukone advocated fixed working hours years before walking out of Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Spirit: ‘I don't intend to burnout'
Deepika Padukone walking out of Sandeep Reddy Vanga's film Spirit due to a disagreement over working hours– particularly her request for an eight-hour workday — and other professional terms, has sparked a significant debate in the Hindi film industry regarding work-life balance, especially for new mothers like Deepika herself. While Deepika made headlines for taking a firm stand on work-life balance, this isn't the first time the actor has brought attention to the issue. She had raised the same concern even before becoming a mother. In an old interview, Deepika had spoken about the need to streamline working hours, not just for actors but for the entire film crew as well. In a past conversation with Film Companion, Deepika Padukone had revealed that it was during her struggle with depression that she understood the value of work-life balance and the impact it can have on a person's mental health. She said, 'That's also where I draw the line in terms of my schedule. That's the only place where I could start feeling that I'm not enjoying what I'm doing. The only other time I felt like that was when I was experiencing depression, but that's very different because you have no control over your thoughts and feelings. Many years ago, I realized the importance of finding a work-life balance. I don't intend to burnout, I'm not going anywhere.' Sharing how in India taking time for oneself is not always viewed as necessary, she said, 'Somehow, in our country, including the corporate world, taking leaves or wanting time for yourself carries a connotation of being unprofessional, not hardworking or driven enough. And I disagree. You can be all of those things and still make time for yourself. How are you going to replenish and put energy back into your work if you don't?'

When asked what changes she wants to make as a producer, she said, 'Streamlining the hours that we work, especially for the crew. There is this sense that if you make people work extra and continuously, you get it done faster. My thinking is the exact opposite — people need to be given enough downtime and rest so that they come back with better energy. That'll help you work faster and better the quality of your work too.' The actor also spoke about the need to compensate crew members who work overtime. She said, 'Step 2 is to be compensated for overtime. Actors, at the end of the day, are going to walk away with the awards and the rewards, and so do the directors and everyone above board. The crew, on the other hand, comes in much earlier and leaves much later. Overtime may happen but we need to find a mechanism where they're at least compensated for that on an hourly basis.' After Deepika Padukone walked out of Spirit, Triptii Dimri was cast in the film in the lead role, along with Prabhas.

This actor vomited on Raveena Tandon's hand, recalls her most bizarre on-set experience, her name is...
Raveena Tandon, now 52 and still active in Hindi cinema, made her debut in 1991 opposite Salman Khan in Patthar Ke Phool. While her daughter Rasha Thadani just stepped into Bollywood with Azad (2024), Raveena continues to dominate key roles in films. But long before stardom, she had one very messy introduction to showbiz. Who puked on Raveena's Hand? In an old episode of Farooque Shaikh's TV show Jeena Isi Ka Naam Hai, Raveena appeared with ad guru Prahlad Kakkar. Dressed in a sharp green suit, the actress—who was then in 10th grade—spoke about one shocking incident during an ad shoot. The campaign featured a young model, none other than Aftab Shivdasani, who at the time was just 10 years old. He was playing a chocolate-obsessed kid, and after multiple retakes and consuming a heap of chocolate, the inevitable happened. Here's what happened on the white set? Raveena recalled that Prahlad Kakkar had warned everyone that not a drop of anything should fall on the pristine white set. Moments later, a visibly nauseated Aftab was on the brink of throwing up. In panic, Raveena instinctively held out her hands, catching all of it. 'Meri haath mein poori ulti aa gayi,' she revealed, saying the smell nearly made her vomit too. Watch the video here View this post on Instagram A post shared by MÍX MÁNÌA (@mixmania2023) Last seen in In Galiyon Mein (2025), Raveena is now focused on guiding daughter Rasha's budding film journey. Yet, moments like these remind us of the bizarre beginnings even seasoned stars have faced.

Not Khans, not Bachchan – Meet the 90s superstar who charged Rs 1.25 crore first: Chiranjeevi's unmatched rise and the legacy that rewrote stardom rules
Chiranjeevi While Shah Rukh Khan , Salman Khan, and Aamir Khan dominated Bollywood in the 90s, there was one name that had already revolutionised Indian cinema — and it didn't come from the Hindi film industry. Before the Khans or even Amitabh Bachchan entered the Rs 1 crore club, it was Telugu superstar Chiranjeevi who shattered the barrier and emerged as India's highest-paid actor of the decade. In 1992, The Week featured Chiranjeevi on its cover with the headline: "Bigger than Bachchan." At the time, he was reported to have commanded an unprecedented Rs 1.25 crore for his film Aapadbandhavudu, establishing a new financial benchmark in Indian cinema. According to the magazine, this placed him well ahead of other cinematic heavyweights like Rajinikanth, Sunny Deol, and Govinda — who were earning around Rs 50–60 lakh per film. The rise of a southern sensation Chiranjeevi's dominance didn't happen overnight. His consistent success in the Telugu film industry throughout the late 1980s and early 90s made him a household name across India. His magnetic screen presence, energetic dance moves, and mass appeal led to a streak of 14 consecutive hits in a single year, earning him the title: 'The New Money Machine' of Indian cinema. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Thị trường có dấu hiệu suy thoái không? IC Markets Đăng ký Undo Though he briefly dabbled in Bollywood with a few Hindi films, it was his towering status in South Indian cinema that secured his immortality. As The Week noted, when Amitabh Bachchan took a break from films in the early 90s, Chiranjeevi stepped in as India's most bankable star — a groundbreaking feat for a non-Bollywood actor at the time. A legacy that changed the game Chiranjeevi's financial milestone redefined how stardom was measured in Indian cinema. His move to command Rs 1 crore per film inspired other legends like Kamal Haasan and Rajinikanth to follow suit. Eventually, Bollywood caught up, with Amitabh Bachchan becoming the first Hindi actor to reach that salary tier after his return to films. By the late 90s, the Bollywood trio — Shah Rukh, Salman, and Aamir — began commanding Rs 2–3 crore per movie. But it was Chiranjeevi who laid the foundation for this new era of superstar earnings. Still a giant Having acted in more than 150 films, Chiranjeevi remains a revered icon. His tremendous success has translated into a phenomenal estimated net worth of Rs 1650 crore. As an actor, producer, and philanthropist, his influence continues to shape Indian entertainment and inspire generations of stars to come.
