Dilip Kumar's actress, who was kissed by Dharmendra by deceit, refused a film with Raj Kapoor due to…, lived alone for 36 years because…, her name was…
There are so many actors and actresses who quit their career at the peak and pursue a different path. While some get into production, direction, others vanish into thin air only to never return to the world of glitz and glamour. Today, we will discuss about one such actress who became famous, earned a name for herself and eventually vanished when she climbed the ladder of success. She last featured in a film which was released in 1978 and after that, she started living in complete anonymity.
This actress was associated with late former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. The actress in discussion worked with A-list actors like Dev Anand, Dilip Kumar and more. Once enthralled audience with her enigma, this star in discussion is late actress Suchitra Sen.
Suchitra Sen first worked with Dilip Kumar in 'Devdas' in her career. She created history by playing the character of Paro in this film. She played such a woman leader in Gulzar's 'Aandhi' who was associated with Indira Gandhi.
Suchitra's pairing with Uttam Kumar became a huge hit. The two were compared to Raj Kapoor and Nargis. The actress worked in many big films. However, do you know that once she turned down a film with Raj Kapoor? Yes, it has also been mentioned in her book that once Raj Kapoor went to her house to offer her a film. But the actress did not like his behavior. It was told that Raj Kapoor sat near her feet and offered her a role by giving her a bouquet of flowers. Suchitra was very upset. She said, 'I do not like beauty in men, I like brains and the way of talking.'
Another Bollywood actor who was head over heels with Suchitra was Dharmendra. The actor himself revealed that after watching Suchitra's work in Devdas, he decided that he would work with her. Both of them came together for the film Mamta in 1966. However, Dharmendra kissed Suchitra by deceit which made the actress angry.
After quiting Indian films, Suchitra lived alone for 36 years and people believe it was due to spiritual matters. Suchitra Sen passed away at the age of 82 in 2014.

Hera Pheri 3 Producer Thanks Akshay Kumar, Sajid Nadiadwala For Paresh Rawal's Return
Last Updated: Firoz Nadiadwala confirms Hera Pheri 3 with Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty, and Paresh Rawal. He thanks Sajid Nadiadwala and Akshay for reuniting the iconic trio. The chaos, the nostalgia, and the unmatched comic timing of Hera Pheri are all set to return—with the original trio intact. One of Indian cinema's most beloved franchises, Hera Pheri 3, is back on track after a brief rollercoaster. Just months after Paresh Rawal sent shockwaves across the internet by announcing his exit from the film, the actor has now officially rejoined the cast, restoring the much-loved trifecta with Akshay Kumar and Suniel Shetty. Earlier this year, reports confirmed that veteran director Priyadarshan—the man behind the first film—would helm the third installment, with shooting expected to begin by the end of 2025. But fans were left heartbroken in May when Rawal pulled out of the project, triggering uncertainty around the reunion. Now, that heartbreak has turned into celebration. In a heartening twist, producer Firoz Nadiadwala has revealed that the reunion was made possible by none other than Sajid Nadiadwala and Ahmed Khan, who personally intervened to resolve creative and interpersonal differences between the team members. 'With the love, respect, and kind guidance of my brother Sajid Nadiadwala and Mr. Ahmed Khan, the Hera Pheri family is back together," shared Firoz. 'Sajid put in a lot of personal time and effort—over several days—to mend things. We share a bond of over 50 years." Firoz also acknowledged Akshay Kumar's key role in reviving the film. 'Akshay ji has been nothing but kind, affectionate, and supportive. We've had a strong bond since 1996. He didn't think twice about sitting down with his childhood friend Sajid to sort things out." The reunion was a full-circle moment, with Suniel Shetty, Paresh Rawal, and Priyadarshan also expressing unwavering support to ensure the film finally materializes. 'This will be another classic entertainer in the Hera Pheri franchise," promised Firoz. 'The family is together again." With Welcome To The Jungle—another madcap Firoz Nadiadwala production—currently shooting, all eyes are now on Hera Pheri 3, expected to go on floors by the end of 2025. And if the backstage drama is anything to go by, the on-screen madness will be worth the wait. First Published:

Aishwarya Rai once romanced with Salman Khan after breaking up with him, was involved in this intimate scene, film is…
It's been over two decades since Sanjay Leela Bhansali gave us all a cinematic masterpiece, Devdas . Starring Shah Rukh Khan, Aishwarya Rai, and Madhuri Dixit, the 2002 epic became a global sensation, celebrated for its grandeur, timeless music, and emotionally charged performances. But very few know, Salman Khan was also part of this iconic film… just not in the way you'd expect. The hidden cameo Though Devdas is remembered for Shah Rukh and Aishwarya's searing chemistry, film critic Anupama Chopra's book quietly reveals a forgotten anecdote: Salman Khan appeared in a scene during the song More Piya . The moment is romantic—a barefoot Aishwarya, a thorn, and a gentle gesture. But here's the twist: the scene was performed with no visible faces. Sanjay Leela Bhansali rolled the camera During the filming of More Piya , Salman Khan, despite a recent breakup with Aishwarya, visited the set out of friendship with Bhansali. As Shah Rukh and Aishwarya were preparing for the scene, Salman reportedly stepped forward and enacted the moment himself, guiding the actors. In a spontaneous decision, Bhansali let the camera roll as Salman delicately enacted Dev removing a thorn from Paro's foot. Though only hands and feet are shown, the final cut of the film features this emotionally nuanced shot—an intimate moment captured between two former lovers, without showing their faces. This became the last time Salman and Aishwarya shared screen space. Their relationship had ended by the time Devdas was being shot. Still, Salman's presence on set and this quiet contribution speak volumes about the emotional layers behind the camera. For Bhansali, perhaps it was cinema above all. For viewers, it remains an untold chapter—until now.
