'I unhooked her blouse...': This actress got attracted towards Aishwarya Rai while shooting, her name is...
In a recent conversation with Siddharth Kannan, Bobby opened up about her early days in the industry, revealing moments both empowering and unexpectedly intimate. 'Shot for 25 days… then they cut my scene'
'I was paid ₹2,500 per day,' she recalls. 'I shot for 25 days for Taal, but you don't control what gets edited.' Bobby was cast in a small role — that of Aishwarya Rai's designer. 'Subhash Ghai himself auditioned me and said, 'Give her the designer role.' During the song Ramta Jogi, Anil Kapoor gave me the nickname 'Dastoor' — and Subhashji approved it right there.' The moment with Aishwarya
Then came the unexpected memory that still makes her laugh. 'Subhashji told me to fasten Aishwarya Rai's blouse hook during a shoot. My hands were trembling. Was it a blouse or a bra? I don't know… but there I was, standing right next to her, nervous and thrilled.' She added, 'Aishwarya was very polite, very humble. I became drawn to her. I thought — if I were a man, I'd want a girl like her.' An honest window into 90s Bollywood
While her role never made the final cut, Bobby's story is a reminder of the many voices that often remain unheard in Bollywood lore. From hidden edits to quiet desires, Bobby's anecdote paints a textured portrait of identity, admiration, and the quiet ache of what could've been.

This Bobby Deol film made many superstars insecure, beat Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, movie name is...
There was a time in the film industry for Bollywood actor Bobby Deol, when he created a storm of earnings at the box office with his debut film 'Barsaat'. In his long and successful thirty-year career, Bobby has done 44 films, most of which have been hits. However, one film in his career created a stir at the box office, which also became the second-highest-grossing film of that year. Which Bobby Deol Movie Was Released In 1998? In the 90s, when Salman Khan and Aamir Khan had taken over and Shah Rukh Khan was just making a name for himself, Bobby gave tough competition combinedly to all three Khans. Bobby's dance and long hair style became a big hit. After 'Barsaat,' 'Gupt,' 'Kareeb,' and 'Aur Pyar Ho Gaya' were released, all three films were average. On the other hand, the film 'Soldier', helmed by director duo Abbas-Mustan, released in 1998, rocked the box office. The story and songs of the film created a stir in the theatres. Bobby's style and swag in this film were worth watching, which later gained the status of cult classic. Whose Other Films Were Released In The Same Year? Shah Rukh Khan's film 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai' was also released in 1998. 'Soldier' left behind all the films released in 1998 except SRK's romantic drama. Films like Ajay Devgn's 'Pyar To Hona Hi Tha,' Amitabh Bachchan-Govinda's 'Bade Miyan Chote Miyan,' Aamir Khan's 'Ghulam' and Salman Khan's 'Pyar Kiya To Darna Kya' were also released in 1998.

‘Rajesh Khanna slapped Raza Murad for spending time with Dimple Kapadia': Senior actor says he wanted to ‘beat up' person who spread this rumour
Late legendary superstar Rajesh Khanna married veteran actor Dimple Kapadia in 1973 shortly before the release of her debut film, Raj Kapoor's romantic drama Bobby. While he was with Kapadia, there was a rumour doing the rounds that she was seen spending a lot of time with fellow actor Raza Murad. Now, Murad has opened up on that rumour, dismissing it completely. 'There used to be a film newspaper called Urvashi. It was written there that Raza Murad and Dimple Kapadia came to Film City in the same car. Rajesh Khanna was shooting there. When he began talking to Dimple, Raza asked her to leave with him, leading to Rajesh Khanna slapping Raza Murad,' recalled Murad. On the podcast The Filmy Charcha, Murad continued, 'Neither I ever went to Film City with Dimple, nor such a situation ever happened, and never have Dimple Kapadia, Rajesh Khanna, and Raza Murad ever been in the same spot together. We used to shoot separately with Kakaji (Khanna) and Dimple. This baseless rumour didn't have even 1% truth in it. It was a 100% lie.' Murad then recollected meeting the journalist, who wrote the article, at a film party. 'I didn't even make a mention of that to them. I just met them like the way I always did. Because when you're at someone's party, you don't have the right to ruin that. It was possible I'd have entered into an argument, or even a brawl, with them, since they made such a damaging allegation towards me. But since it was someone else's party, there shouldn't be any bitterness or misbehaviour there. So I remained completely normal,' said Murad. Murad has worked with Kapadia in films like Feroz Khan's Janbaaz (1986), David Dhawan's Aag Ka Gola (1989), Babbar Subhash's Pyaar Ke Naam Qurbaan (1990), Mahesh Bhatt's Gunaah (1993), and Ajay Kashyap's Pathreela Rasta (1994). Meanwhile, Murad and Khanna have collaborated on Hrishikesh Mukherjee's Namak Haraam (1973), Tyaag (1977), Tinku (1977), Oonche Log (1985), Adhikar (1986), Begunaah (1991), and Riyasat (2014). Khanna and Kapadia separated in 1984, but got legally divorced only in 2012. Kapadia, who had quit films after her wedding to Khanna, returned to become a formidable lead actor in the 1980s. She continues to act in films and shows till today. Khanna passed away in 2012. They have two daughters who are former actors as well — author and columnist Twinkle Khanna and Rinke Khanna. Also Read: When Rajesh Khanna attacked Vinod Khanna for 'not honouring his words' as Gurdaspur MP, called Navjot Singh Sidhu a 'comedian' Rajesh Khanna's misbehaviour towards anyone who came close to Kapadia is rather well-documented. In his 2016 memoir Khullam Khulla, Kapadia's first co-star from Bobby and late actor Rishi Kapoor confessed he never liked Rajesh Khanna. Kapoor admitted he was possessive about Kapadia since she was his first heroine. She'd stolen a ring of Kapoor, but when Rajesh Khanna saw that ring on Kapadia's finger while proposing to her, he threw it away. That really angered Kapoor and further deepened his dislike towards Rajesh Khanna.
