Not Boney Kapoor, Mithun or Jeetendra, Sridevi did not eat anything for 7 days for this man due to..., his name is...
The superstar whom Sridevi held in such high regard is Thalaivar Rajinikanth. During a period when Rajinikanth faced severe health challenges, Sridevi demonstrated her concern and affection by observing a seven-day fast, praying fervently for his recovery. Her dedication even led her to visit the Sai Baba temple in Pune, underscoring the depth of their friendship. Did Rajinikanth had feelings for Sridevi?
Reports indicate Rajinikanth had feelings for Sridevi but could never tell her. Once, he had gone to Sridevi's house with the purpose of asking her, as soon as he arrived at house for the sacred occasion of grihapravesh, the power cut made him feel it a bad omen and he retreated from there speechless. In old interviews with people close to Rajinikanth, it's suggested that Rajinikanth felt a strong sense of respect and reverence toward Sridevi, which made it difficult for him to cross professional boundaries. How was Sridevi and Rajinikanth's collaboration?
Sridevi and Rajinikanth's professional relationship was marked by numerous collaborations that left an indelible mark on Indian cinema. They co-starred in several Tamil films, including the critically acclaimed 16 Vayathinile (1977), which also featured Kamal Haasan. This film, directed by legendary director Bharathiraja, was a significant milestone in Tamil cinema, being one of the first to be shot predominantly outdoors. Another notable collaboration was Naan Adimai Illai (1986), a remake of the Hindi film Pyar Jhukta Nahin. This film marked Sridevi's final appearance in Tamil cinema before she focused primarily on her Bollywood career. How was Sridevi's personal life?
Beyond her professional achievements, Sridevi's personal life was equally eventful. She was married to producer Boney Kapoor, and their union was often the subject of media attention. Prior to this, she was rumored to have had relationships with actors Mithun Chakraborty and Jeetendra, though these were never officially confirmed. Tragically, Sridevi's life was cut short in 2018 when she passed away in Dubai. The official cause of death was reported as accidental drowning following a loss of consciousness.

'This Cap I Give To Very Few People': Shubman Gill Receives Heartwarming Gift From Sunil Gavaskar
India captain Shubman Gill received a special gift from 'Little Master' Sunil Gavaskar after he came close but stood too far from breaking his record for most runs by an Indian in a Test series. Shubman agonisingly fell 20 runs short of breaking Gavaskar's tally of 774 as he concluded the series with 754 runs to his name. With his robust technique, he looked poised for an extended stay on the case but was undone by a sharply nipping delivery from Gus Atkinson, punching his return ticket on 11(9). At the end of a throbbing contest on Day 3 of the fifth Test, Gavaskar met Gill, gifted a shirt with the SG initials and a special cap that he doesn't give to too many people. He hopes that after missing out on the elusive milestone by a whisker, he will strive for it in future assignments. "I have got a gift for you in anticipation of you going past (me). At least you got something to aim for in the next series. It is just a little gift. It is a shirt with SG initials, someone made it for me, I am giving this to you, but I don't know if it will fit you. This is a cap which I give to very few people with my signature. All the best," Gavaskar said after meeting Gill in a video posted by Sony Sports on X. A wholesome moment between Shubman Gill & Sunil Gavaskar #SonySportsNetwork #ENGvIND #NayaIndia #DhaakadIndia #TeamIndia #ExtraaaInnings | @ShubmanGill — Sony Sports Network (@SonySportsNetwk) August 2, 2025 Gill and Mohammed Siraj's tactical ploy was on display during the final moments before the day's end. India played a double bluff by setting up the field for a 'sweet chin music', but Siraj bowled a searing, angling yorker to rattle Zak Crawley's timber. Impressed by the brilliant piece of gambit, Gavaskar promised to wear his lucky jacket, hoping it would turn India's fortune. "That last over was fantastic. Sending a fielder over there, but then bowling the yorker. Tomorrow I am going to wear my lucky jacket, which I wore in Australia, the white one during the Gabba Test, on the last day," he concluded. In pursuit of a 374-run target, England opener Crawley and Ben Duckett raised a 50-run opening stand before the former departed on 14(36). As things stand, India is eight wickets shy of victory, while England needs 324 runs with two days left for play.

Dhadak 2 box office collection day 3: Siddhant Chaturvedi-Triptii Dimri film is no Saiyaara, finally crosses ₹10 crore
Dhadak 2 box office collection day 3: Shazia Iqbal's Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri-starrer Dhadak 2 released in theatres last Friday. Expectations were high from the remake of the Tamil film Pariyerum Perumal, and the film managed to open to mostly positive reviews. Dhadak 2 is a spiritual sequel to the 2018 Ishaan Khatter and Janhvi Kapoor-starrer Dhadak. As per Sacnilk, the film has now crossed the ₹10 crore mark. (Also read: Son of Sardaar 2 vs Dhadak 2 box office clash: Can Siddhant Chaturvedi, Triptii Dimri romance spoil Ajay Devgn's party?) Dhadak 2 box office collection day 3: Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri in a still from the film. Dhadak 2 box office update The latest update on Sacnilk states that Dhadak 2 collected ₹ 3.77 crore on its third day of release. The film had collected ₹ 3.5 crore on its opening day, and showed little growth on its second day of release, collecting ₹ 3.75 crore. The overall collection now stands at ₹ 11.02 crore. Dhadak 2 is facing stiff competition at the box office from several releases—Ajay Devgn's Son of Sardaar 2, the animation film Mahavatar Narsimha, Ahaan Panday-Aneet Padda's Saiyaara, and Vijay Deverakonda's Kingdom. Saiyaara, now in its third week of release, collected more than Dhadak 2 on Sunday, with ₹8 crore. Saiyaara has now crossed the ₹300 crore mark in India and emerged as a blockbuster. About Dhadak 2 Dhadak 2 tells the tale of a law student who falls for his classmate, only for her family to harass him due to caste differences. Talking about the film's sensitive message, Triptii told PTI, 'It should reach the maximum audience because it's entertaining and also leaves a little note, so that is something which we are constantly looking for. We found that equilibrium... There is something real and sensitive about it ('Dhadak 2'). All of these guys have more responsibility, and they are very well aware of that. That's why they have been very quiet about everything, like while we were shooting for the film, even the censor board issues, we never spoke about anything.'
