Four-year-old Pallavi Joshi was slapped on camera by director because she wasn't crying on cue: ‘My ego was hurt, didn't want to do films'
Actor Pallavi Joshi has been in the industry for over 52 years. She marked her acting debut with the 1973 film Naag Mere Sathi. She was just four. Even at that age, Pallavi was sure she didn't want to take up acting, however, competition with her brother Alankar Joshi made her say yes to director Shantilal Soni, who wanted to cast her as younger version of his female lead in the 1976 film Rakshabandhan starring actors Sachin Pilgaonkar and Sarika. In a recent interview, Pallavi Joshi shared how it was a task for the filmmaker to get her to cry in a scene. She revealed that the filmmaker got so annoyed with her that he ended up slapping her on camera. In an interaction with Friday Talkies, Pallavi Joshi recalled the time she first faced camera. 'Back in those days, there used to be a director named Shantilal Joshi. He was my father's great friend. Sachin and Sarika were the lead actors in the film, and it was being made in two languages: Hindi and Gujarati. When I showed interest in acting, he quickly cast me in his film. I played the young version of Sarika.' She added, 'They were shooting a song sequence where they expected me to cry. They narrated the scene to me. They said, 'You have to do a puja of Nag devta and then hold your face and cry.' The 4-year-old me found this very funny. They took several takes but I kept laughing. An annoyed Shantilal asked my father to slap me. My dad refused to do so but pretended to be annoyed at me. However, I knew he was acting. I laughed harder. After several takes, Shantilal walked up to me and slapped me hard.' 'The camera was rolling. This put me in shock. I was four. Nobody had slapped me before. My ego was hurt. 'Pure unit ke saamne mujhe kaise maar diya (How could he slap me before everyone?)'. I cried so hard. After the shot was done, I got up and yelled, 'I don't want to shoot for this film.' Even my father was shocked. He asked, 'How could you slap my daughter?'. Shantilal asked his unit to pack up. I was adamant that I will not shoot for the film. A couple of days passed and my dad got worried. In reality, Shantilal was waiting for me to calm down and when I did, we began to shoot again.'

Being a four-year-old, she played the role of a child who was abused by her aunt and was expected to do household chores. She was given torn clothes to wear. 'During one of the scenes, I was asked to mop the floor. I was wearing torn clothes. Suddenly, I saw the girl who was playing my evil cousin was dressed up in beautiful new clothes and wearing glittery ornaments. Looking at her, I began to protest: 'Even I need to look like that'. It took them so long to convince me that my role didn't allow that. Eventually, my mom had to promise me to buy me all those things for my birthday and only then did I resume the shoot.' Pallavi Joshi actively did films until 1999. However she took a decade-long break from the industry after her marriage to filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri in 1997. She made a comeback with the 2009 film Rita. Pallavi was recently seen in her husband's films The Kashmir Files, The Vaccine War and The Bengal Files. She also played an important role in Anupam Kher's film Tanvi the Great.

Saiyaara To Dhadak 2: Internet Spots Striking Similarities In Recent Hindi Film Posters
Bollywood fans noticed striking similarities in posters of recent Hindi films like Saiyaara, Dhadak 2, and Aankhon Ki Gustakhiyaan, calling out the 'copy-paste' trend online. Bollywood fans are known for their sharp eyes, and this time, they're turning their attention to film posters. A growing number of social media users have pointed out the uncanny visual similarities between posters of recent Hindi film releases — Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda's Saiyaara, Siddhanth Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri's Dhadak 2, and National Award winner Vikrant Massey and Shanaya Kapoor's Aankhon Ki Gustakhiyaan, among others. From the framing of romantic leads where they stick their foreheads together to almost-identical backdrops and poses, netizens have taken to platforms like X and Instagram to share side-by-side comparisons, calling out what they describe as a 'copy-paste' trend in Bollywood poster design. A user circulated the similar-looking posters of Bollywood's recent slate of films and Reddit was quick to comment. First, watch a video here: An Internet user shared a poster of Kartik Aaryan and Kiara Advani's Satyaprem Ki Katha and compared it to Saiyaara poster. The netizen wrote, 'Saiyara is also very close to this. The colour scheme is too similar." Yet another compared it to Ranbir Kapoor and Shraddha Kapoor's Tu Jhoothi Main Makkar. Another argued, 'I mean how much innovation do you want for romantic films? There will only be select few poses." 'Everyone is doing this in their shadi pics too!", quipped a fan. Other arguments included some defending the aesthetic overlap as a popular industry style, while others urged designers to bring back originality and creative risk-taking in visual marketing. Meanwhile, YRF's Saiyaara has been a rage with its storytelling, cast and songs. The film has gone on to become one of the most profitable projects of 2025, amassing a box office collection of over Rs 300 crore worldwide. As for Dhadak 2, the film starring Siddhanth and Triptii started slow at the box office. The film clashed with Ajay Devgn's Son of Sardaar 2, a franchise with a loyal fanbase. On Day 1, Son of Sardaar 2 raked in an impressive Rs 6.75 crore, comfortably surpassing the day 1 earnings of Dhadak 2, which managed Rs 3.35 crore. Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan, starring Vikrant and Shanaya, opened with a strong buzz. However, the film underperformed at the box office, earning Rs 1.61 crore.

Long before Jawan, Shah Rukh Khan felt he deserved National Award for Swades, ‘I think I should've got it'
At the launch of 'Tag Heuer - Golden Carrera' Collection in 2014, Shah Rukh Khan jokingly teased director Kunal Kohli on stage. In his signature style, SRK roasted the Hum Tum director on stage. In a fun chat, SRK asked Kunal to name a Hindi film he really disliked. Kunal said he didn't like Delhi-6 and found the 'Kala Bandar' plot confusing. SRK said the film had a great cast, like Abhishek Bachchan and Sonam Kapoor. It was made by a talented director, Rakesh Omprakash Mehra, Khan said. 'And, all you saw was a 'Kala Bandar' in the entire film?' SRK asked. Kunal admitted the music was nice, written by his friend Prasoon Joshi. SRK continued to tease, asking if Rakesh wasn't his friend too. Kunal replied that Rakesh was also a good friend and said he wasn't being biased. Kohli added that he liked Rakesh's other films like Rang De Basanti and Bhaag Milkha Bhaag. The whole exchange was light-hearted, with SRK showing his usual charm while joking with a fellow film industry friend. During the same chat, Shah Rukh Khan spoke about missing the National Award. In 2005, Saif Ali Khan won the National Film Award for Best Actor for his performance in Hum Tum, which was released in 2004. The same year, Khan's Swades was released. It is considered one of SRK's finest performances to date. SRK asked Kunal about the last Hindi film he watched. Kunal replied, 'Jai Ho'. SRK jokingly commented, 'There's no accounting for taste.' When Kunal asked Khan which film he didn't like, SRK laughed and said, 'How much more public shame do you want me to go through?' Shah Rukh Khan said, 'See, I have a big heart. I like all films. I like all heroes, all heroines. I like everything. I'm a simple-minded person. I like everything, including your films. I love them all.' He praised Fanaa and Hum Tum, saying they were very good. He ended by cheekily referring to Saif Ali Khan. 'And, the actor from Hum Tum won the National Award, right? I think I should've got it. But, that's another story,' came SRK's tongue-in-cheek comment. Shah Rukh Khan gets National Award On August 1, 2025, Shah Rukh Khan won his first National Film Award for Jawan, after 33 years in films. Fans feel he should've got it earlier, not only for Swades, but also for Chak De! India in 2007. SRK played Kabir Khan, a disgraced hockey coach. While the film won a National Award, Best Actor went to Hrithik Roshan for Dhoom 2.
