Apoorva Mukhija feels Khushi Kapoor handled negative feedback for Nadaaniyan with grace and maturity: 'People are really harsh with nepo babies'
Content creator and actor Apoorva Mukhija, better known as The Rebel Kid, is steadily carving her space in the entertainment world, from appearing on reality shows like The Traitors to starring in Dharma Productions' Nadaaniyan. In a recent interview, she reflected on her experience working with Khushi Kapoor and addressed the comparisons that followed their debut. 'Khushi works hard for it, she deserves it' Speaking about her co-star, Apoorva had nothing but admiration for Khushi Kapoor. 'Khushi is one of the sweetest people I have met. She has an insane work ethic,' she told Screen. According to Apoorva, Khushi's quiet drive was visible from the beginning. 'Even when we were speaking on the sets of Nadaaniyan, she was like, 'I hope people start taking me seriously after this film.' There are people who really want something; she is one of those people, and I am sure there are great things coming up for her. She deserves it; she works hard for it.' 'She'd shoot for 16 hours and still go to the gym' Apoorva recalled their long shooting hours and how Khushi remained focused throughout. 'We used to shoot for 14–16 hours, and she used to still go to the gym; that's commendable. What I picked up from her was work ethic,' she noted. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo Though Nadaaniyan received a mixed response from audiences, Apoorva feels Khushi handled the feedback with grace and maturity.

'I think it's a bias more than anything else. Khushi did great work in the film. People are really harsh with nepo babies in general,' she said. 'I don't think we need to put down somebody else to make another one feel better. It can be done without comparison. Apoorva did great acting, I appreciate the compliments, but the comments about how I performed better than her... we don't need to do all this.'

Amitabh Bachchan's co-star had acted in 500 films but couldn't own a house or car. He was actress Zeenat Aman's relative
He was seen alongside the biggest legends in Indian cinema — from Mughal-E-Azam to Do Bigha Zamin — but veteran character actor Murad , who acted in over 500 films, never owned a house or a car. In a sobering reminder of how fame doesn't always translate to financial security, his son, actor Raza Murad, opened up in a recent interview about the difficult realities behind the glamorous façade of showbiz. The anecdote is not only a tribute to his father's legacy but also a cautionary tale about the importance of financial planning. Speaking on the Filmy Charcha YouTube channel, Raza Murad shared that despite his father's prolific career and iconic filmography, their family faced severe financial constraints. He mentioned witnessing 'difficulties in life' and experiencing poverty. Recalling his childhood in Bhopal, he added that their home didn't even have electricity and that he would have to study for his exams under a lamp post. He would start at midnight and finish at 6 am. Raza Murad's father, Murad, known for his roles in films like Devdas (1955), Sanyasi, Yaadon Ki Baaraat, and Tarzan Goes to India (1962), was one of the most sought-after character actors of his era. Yet, Raza revealed that they 'never had a car' and 'used to live in a rented house.' He pointed out how many celebrated stars from the 1950s and 60s failed to save for the future and were left struggling in their later years. According to him, those actors should have planned for the future. While Raza made it clear that he had no intention to criticise his father's choices — 'he lived like he wanted to' — he said that he chose a different path after witnessing those struggles. Hence, the first thing he did after establishing himself in the film industry was to buy a house. Interestingly, the veteran actor was also related to Bollywood icon Zeenat Aman — she is his niece.

France Accuses China Of Anti-Rafale Disinformation Push To Derail Jet Sales In Asia, Africa
/ Jul 06, 2025, 07:35PM IST France is reportedly fighting a coordinated disinformation campaign targeting its Rafale fighter jet sales, with its intelligence agencies alleging China used diplomatic channels and fake online narratives to promote Chinese jets instead. According to a French intelligence report cited by AP, Chinese embassy defence attachés lobbied countries to reject Rafales and raised doubts after Pakistan claimed to down multiple Indian jets in May. France has pushed back, blaming AI-generated visuals, fake social accounts, and manipulated content aimed at weakening confidence in the Rafale.
