This actress was as beautiful as Sridevi, sacrificed her career for marriage, was betrayed by her husband, name was..., Kamal Haasan was her... Srividya, the renowned Tamil and Malayalam actress of the 70s, entered the entertainment world as a teenager. She was not just a prolific actress, but also a talented Bharatanatyam dancer. With films like Kumara Sambhavam, Tata Manavadu, Apoorva Raagangal, Chottanikkara Amma, and many others, she carved a special place in the hearts of audiences. In 1975, Srividya got a chance to star with Kamal Haasan in K Balachander's film Apoorva Raangaga. During the shooting of the film, Srividya fell in love with Haasan. While she became a leading name in the industry, Kamal was still striving to make a mark in films. Srividya wanted to marry him and settle down. However, Srividya's mother advised the couple to wait and settle in their careers before making a long-term commitment of marriage. But, Kamal wasn't okay with it, and he decided to call the relationship quits. Srividya then moved on with film director Bharathan, who collaborated with her in many films. However, their relationship couldn't continue longer, as Bharathan decided to breakup. Srividya was then left heartbroken and shattered. After two failed relationships, Srividya decided to give love another chance. She dated George Thomas, an assistant director of her Malayalam film, Teekkanal , and got married to him in 1978. Srividya wanted to quit films and focus on her marital duties. However, her husband didn't let her do the same due to financial constraints. Within few months of marriage, Srividya realised marrying George was a mistake. In 1980, Srividya divorce George, and the case regarding their finances went up to the Supreme Court of India. After fighting a long legal battle, Srividya won the case. She left Chennai and moved to Thiruvananthapuram. In 2003, she was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer. After undergoing three years of treatment, Srividya passed away on October 19, 2006, aged 53.

It seems like the entire online world holds its breath, desperately hoping for a glimpse into the romantic life of the global sensation and BTS' golden maknae, Jeon Jungkook! The rumour mill is once again in overdrive, churning out fresh speculation about a potential romance between Jungkook and aespa's Winter. The latest spark? None other than Jungkook's brand-new, highly anticipated Instagram account and its cryptic handle. Earlier in July, these two idols found themselves unwillingly thrust into the spotlight of dating speculation. Eager netizens - acting as amateur detectives - tried to piece together 'evidence' that might suggest a secret relationship. These claims, however, were largely brushed aside as nothing more than baseless fantasy. The mystery of @mnijungkook However, the conversation reignited on July 15 when fans were surprised to discover that BTS members were suddenly following a mysterious new Instagram account: @mnijungkook. Despite the account having no posts, followers quickly assumed it was Jungkook's, given the group's long-standing tradition of only following each other on social media. Later when he went live on Instagram with V aka Kim Taehyung and the leader of BTS - RM aka Kim Namjoon, it was confirmed that it truly is Jungkook's new Instagram account. The "@imjungkook" connection to aespa's Winter What truly drew attention was the username itself. Some fans claimed that "mni" in "@mnijungkook" could be a subtle reference to Winter's real name, Minjeong, interpreting it as "MinJungkook." mnijungkook = minjungkook = minjung = minjeong This quickly fueled renewed speculation about a romantic involvement between the two idols. Further adding to the fire, fans uncovered that the account was actually created months ago, with its original handle reportedly being @imjungkook, strikingly similar to Winter's Instagram handle @imwinter. Fan reactions: Questioning the 'evidence' Many ARMYs took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to share various Instagram accounts that start with "im," including those of many Korean stars and even Indian actors like Shah Rukh Khan and Bobby Deol. They humorously questioned if Jungkook was dating all of them as well, highlighting the flimsy nature of the 'evidence' being presented. by this logic winter is also dating bobby deol?? Another day, another wild moment on K-pop community "Don't put 'iam' in your handle, otherwise, you guys are dating."😭😂 Guys Jungkook is also dating srk Jungkook sets the record straight Not so happily for the potential shippers, it didn't take long for Jungkook himself to step in and put an end to the frantic chatter. During a live broadcast, he calmly confirmed that @mnijungkook is, in fact, his personal account. He also unveiled the true meaning behind the handle and as it turns out, there's no hidden romance, no cryptic love message. It just stands for "My Name Is Jungkook" - that's it and the mystery, it seems, was far simpler than anyone imagined.

BTS' Jungkook's new Instagram username sparks absurd dating rumors with aespa's Winter, fans debunk possibility
BTS's Jungkook has made an unexpected return to Instagram after 2 years, creating a new personal account that has generated immense excitement among fans. The artist's chosen username has garnered significant attention. Some interpreted it as a reference to aespa's Winter and theorized about their romantic relationship. These rumors, however, were quickly dispelled by fans, who labeled the speculators as delusional. Jungkook's Instagram username allegedly hints at aespa's Winter Jungkook's new Instagram account, unveiled on July 14, included the username @imjunkook, whose simplest explanation is an abbreviated form of 'I am Jungkook'. aespa fans, however, linked it up with Winter, as the first part of her Instagram username matches that of the BTS member's. Her official handle is @imwinter, and this was enough to rekindle the dating rumors between the two artists. The speculators took things to the next level as Jungkook changed his username to @mnijungkook. As per them, the username was a nod to Winter's real name, Kim Min Jeong. They substantiated the claim by explaining the theory with "mnijungkook = minjungkook = minjung = minjeong." Fans of both the artists found it absolutely absurd and rallied to defend them. Fans debunk Jungkook and Winter's dating rumor A fan took to social media to address the growing concern regarding prying into celebrities' personal lives and spreading baseless rumors about them. They debunked the dating rumors, stating, "all the shipping 'evidence' doesn't even make sense. the ideas shippers come up with really get to you all." Another wrote, "im genuinely so tried [tired] seeing them forcing things to connect stupid delusional mofo LET JUNGKOOK LIVE FREE pls." The fans urged the rumor spreaders to put aside their shipping biases and look at the facts objectively. They felt that the only way to make people stop linking Jungkook with anyone and everyone was him introducing his real life partner someday. "i wish that someday he'd finally introduce his real girl instead of moping around & letting his fans harass every female idol in existence but never him," a fan said. This incident once again demonstrated the fierce loyalty and support of K-pop fans, who stand guard against any perceived threats or negativity surrounding their beloved idols.
