Meet actor who was just 11 when his father left his mother to remarry..., now shares beautiful bond with his..., actor is...
Popular Bollywood actor Arjun Kapoor often makes headlines more for his personal life than his professional life. Born on June 26, 1985, in Mumbai to producer Boney Kapoor and the late Mona Kapoor, Arjun's life took a turn in 1996. His father's decision to divorce Mona and marry India's evergreen dream girl, Sridevi, sent shockwaves through their family. Arjun was just 11 at the time, and his bond with Sridevi remained strained throughout her life. Arjun Kapoor said, 'It was very difficult…'
According to several reports, he once admitted, 'When we were kids, it was very difficult for me. But what can you do? How long will you complain? You have to accept what it is, take it in your stride, and move on.'
Time, however, began to mend wounds. The sudden demise of Sridevi in 2018 became a turning point for the Kapoor family. It not only left them shattered but also brought Arjun closer to his half-sisters, Janhvi and Khushi Kapoor. From once not being on speaking terms, they've now become an unbreakable trio. Arjun often shares cherished moments with them, and both sisters now hold a significant place in his life. Arjun Kapoor began his career with…
Before stepping in front of the camera, Arjun began his career behind the scenes. He worked as an assistant director in Kal Ho Naa Ho (2003) with Nikkhil Advani and later on films like Salaam-e-Ishq, No Entry, and Wanted.

He later shared screen space with Ranveer Singh and Priyanka Chopra in Gunday, followed by a successful outing with Alia Bhatt in 2 States (2014). The audience appreciated their chemistry, and the film was a box office success.
Over the years, Arjun has showcased his range with films like Tevar, Half Girlfriend, Namaste England, India's Most Wanted, and The Lady Killer. His performances in Ki & Ka, Mubarakan, and especially Singham Again — where he played a negative role — won praise from fans and critics alike.

Vidya Balan rejected a film that starred THIS celebrated actor, he got upset and
Vidya Balan rejected a film that starred THIS celebrated actor, he got upset and "fired" her, terrified Vidya asked John Abraham to save her, the actor was... In the glitzy and glamorous world of Bollywood, it's usually the dazzling and glamorous life of celebrities that comes to the forefront. However, what happens behind the scenes, when the curtain falls, is a lot more than what meets the eye. One such tale is of Bollywood's celebrated actress Vidya Balan, which highlighted how she is honest and true to her craft. This incident goes back in time when Vidya Balan was a newcomer in the industry. She found herself in a pickle. Vidya was offered a role opposite Akshaye Khanna, an opportunity that a lot of newcomers dream of. However, Vidya couldn't resonate with the character and the story, so despite the big opportunity, she turned it down and rejected the offer. This decision did not sit well with Akshaye Khanna. Although Vidya had conveyed her disinterest in the film, she did not inform Akshay Khanna directly. Neither did she call Akshaye to inform him, nor did she take his calls. Naturally, Akshaye Khanna was upset with Vidya's exit from the film without even talking to him directly. Akshaye Khanna 'Fired' Vidya Balan Later, during the shoot of a multi-starrer film, Salaam-E-Ishq of Nikhil Advani, Akshaye Khanna lashed out at Vidya for learning about her exit from someone else. Vidya, who was a newcomer then, got concerned and frightened. To defend herself, she went to her co-star John Abraham for rescue. 'Can you please save me?' I just didn't want any confrontation or to hurt anyone's feelings. But later, I realised he was just pulling my leg,' she said. Akshaye Khanna reportedly 'fired' Vidya for this, but later she learned that this was all happening in light light-hearted spirit and Akshaye was just pulling her leg. This incident became an event worth remembering for Vidya. In an interview, talking about this incident, Vidya said, 'I didn't want anyone to feel bad. I was new and didn't want it to look like I was rejecting the film just because of who was in it.' Speaking of Vidya's recent work, she was last seen in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, alongside Kartik Aaryan, Madhuri Dixit, and Triptii Dimri, which released last Diwali and became a massive hit.
