This Bigg Boss contestant charged Rs 2.5 crore for 3 days, didn't even know who Salman Khan was, the name is...
Bigg Boss is one of the most loved reality shows which garners impressive TRPs every time it is aired. Since people have grown so fond of drama, romance, juicy gossip, and fights, the makers of Bigg Boss are now all set to return soon with a brand-new season. Bigg Boss Season 19 is highly anticipated, and fans are eagerly waiting for any official announcement. As we discuss one of the most renowned shows, do you know that during one of the seasons of Bigg Boss, there was an actress who took Rs 2.5 crore for 3 days? This Actress Didn't Even Know Who Salman Khan Was? In 2010, when Season 4 of Bigg Boss aired, many different celebs such as Ashmit Patel, Dolly Bindra, The Great Khali, and Shweta Tiwari became a part of it. Among them was Pamela Anderson. Anderson is one of the most famous Hollywood celebs. This was the first season of Bigg Boss to be hosted by Salman Khan. At the time, Pamela didn't even know who Salman Khan was. Although Bigg Boss is often referred to as a family show, Pamela's expressions and choice of clothing stirred quite a bit of controversy. What truly surprised people was her statement before entering the Bigg Boss house. In a media interaction, she said, 'I've heard about Salman from the media, but the truth is, I don't know who he is.' Trying to cover up her remark, she added that she had watched a few Bollywood films but couldn't recall the name of any actor. However, Salman did not like the fact that Pamela had no idea who he was. As per PTI, Pamela said, 'Maybe if I see him, I will recognize him.' She also said, 'I like doing housework, I do this work at my home too, so I have no problem with it.' There was a lot of discussion about her fees. It was reported that she was paid more than Rs 2.5 crore for three days.

Aanand L Rai SLAMS producers of Raanjhanaa for releasing AI-altered version without his knowledge, calls it ‘unauthorised': ‘I had no role in it'
Raanjhanaa is one of the most loved and iconic movies made in Bollywood. The film starring Sonam Kapoor and Dhanush as leads stood out for its bold ending that director Aanand L Rai crafted back then. But he seems to be quite upset with the recent AI-altered re-release version of the movie, which the production house Eros International Media opted for without his knowledge. The director has recently shared his views on the same, expressing that this act is 'deeply upsetting'. What did director Aanand L Rai say in his Instagram post? Taking to his Instagram handle, Aanand L Rai shared a picture of Sonam Kapoor and Dhanush from the sets of the film. Sharing this old gem, he wrote a long note about what he feels after seeing the AI-altered version of Raanjhanaa. He wrote, 'The past three weeks have been surreal, and deeply upsetting. To watch Raanjhanaa, a film born out of care, conflict, collaboration, and creative risk, be altered, repackaged, and re-released without my knowledge or consent has been nothing short of devastating. What makes it worse is the complete ease and casualness with which it's been done.' He also added, 'Let me say this as clearly as I can: I do not support or endorse the AI-altered version of Raanjhanaa. It is unauthorised. I had no role in it. Neither did the team that made the film. And whatever it claims to be, it is not the film we intended, or made. This was never just a film to us. It was shaped by human hands, human flaws, and human feeling. What's now being circulated is not a tribute. It is a reckless takeover that strips the work of its intent, its context, and its soul.' Rai stated that neither the actors, writers, composers, lyricists, editor, technicians, nor the larger crew were consulted before making this version. What is the fiasco around the AI-altered version? As most of us know, Raanjhanaa did not have a happy ending. So, the production banner Eros International Media made a drastic move and altered the tragic ending into a happy one. The production house announced that the Tamil version of the film will now offer a different climax, which is created with AI assistance.

Fans Praise AI-Altered Happy Ending Of Dhanush's Raanjhanaa: "My Kundan Is Alive"
New Delhi: Filmmaker Aanand L Rai has expressed strong disapproval of the AI-edited version of his film Raanjhanaa. Titled Ambikapathy, the Tamil version of the movie was re-released in theatres on August 1 with an alternate, happier ending created using Artificial Intelligence (AI). But fans are ecstatic with the new ending in the re-released version. Social media is abuzz with their reactions. Fan Reactions Fans were ecstatic to see Dhanush's character, Kundan, alive in the new AI-generated ending of Raanjhanaa's Tamil version, Ambikapathy, which was released in theatres today. One fan wrote, "AI version new climax response for # Ambikapathy re-release. #IdlyKadai # Ambikapathy #Dhanush." The video that has been making the rounds online also shows Dhanush's character, Kundan, opening his eyes again, and he lives! Seeing his character not die, fans can be heard screaming and whistling. Another fan mentioned, "My Kundan is alive, I'm so emotional while watching. Thank you Al # Raanjhanaa." Someone else wrote, "# Raanjhanaa / # Ambikapathy gets a beautiful twist with a new AI-generated climax & it's so realistic, it hits right in the feels. Kundan is alive... and so is our love for this timeless story. AI just gave fans the closure they always wanted." Our Kundan Is Alive ❤️❤️🤩 #Ambikapathi New AI climax done realistically🤩🥵🙌🛐 @dhanushkraja @aanandlrai #IdlikadaiFromOct1 — 𝗔𝗡𝗔𝗡𝗗𝗛 𝗗𝗛𝗔𝗡𝗨𝗦𝗛 𝗩𝗘𝗥𝗜𝗬𝗔𝗡 (@DhanushianV) August 1, 2025 Another Internet user mentioned, "Unexpected AI Version climax. Kundan is alive." One fan agreed that Aanand's vision was altered but said that it felt good to see Kundan alive, "Now I'm happy forever. @aanandlrai Sir, I agree no one can match your efforts in original making. But as a Dhanush fanatic, we loved to see Kundan alive. @dhanushkraja # Raanjhanaa # Ambikapathy." One more fan mentioned, "AI h ai toh mumkin hai, lekin Kundan agar nehi mara toh kya #TereIshqMein jo Shankar hai, wahi humara Kundan hai kya. (Anything is possible with AI. But if Kundan is alive, does that mean Shankar in Tere Ishk Mein is Kundan?" Raanjhanaa's Original Ending The 'happy ending' context comes in because in the original film, Kundan (Dhanush) dies. The AI-generated climax is supposed to provide a kind of ending where Kundan survives. Rewinding to the Raanjhanaa climax in 2013, Dhanush's character, Kundan, dies after getting shot. The incident unfolds at a public rally planned by the establishment. Zoya (Sonam Kapoor), who plays his love interest, is not oblivious to the conspiracy that has been sketched out to ensure Kundan's death. Kundan is also aware of it, but his love for Zoya stops him from making it obvious. Fans rejoice as Dhanush's Raanjhanaa character Kundan does not die in the new AI-altered ending of the re-released film. The Tamil version of the film was released on August 1, 2025.
