Raveena Tandon on alleged feud with Karisma Kapoor: It was classroom politics
Raveena Tandon and Karisma Kapoor's alleged catfight on the sets of 'Andaaz Apna Apna' and 'Aatish' is a story often brought up by Bollywood celebrities on talk shows. In her recent vlog with Farah Khan, Raveena addressed the rumours, referring to the incident as 'classroom politics,' explaining that both she and Karisma were 'kids at that time.'Raveena, who appeared on Farah's YouTube channel, confronted the filmmaker for speaking publicly about her fights with Karisma. She said, "You went everywhere and said that fights were happening on set. When did we fight? What did I do? I was sitting with dancers who were my friends, and they were sharing non-veg jokes."advertisementFarah responded and stated, "Now everyone's kids are going to the same school, and we keep meeting on annual days." The actor replied, "We were also kids at that time. We were 20-21 years old. It was classroom politics, and we had to face that."
Farah had previously spoken about the incident during an episode of Koffee With Karan in 2007. When Karan Johar asked, "Which is the worst fight you have seen between two actresses?" Farah recalled, "I was once doing a song with Karisma Kapoor and Raveena Tandon, long ago, in a film called 'Aatish.' They were both having some kind of teenage spat. They were hitting each other with their wigs. They were wearing these wigs with plaits and beads in it. One was hitting, the other was stamping her foot with her heel. It was quite childish. I am sure they will laugh about it now."advertisementIn a recent interview with India Today, Aamir said, "We had a lovely time. Also, I have to say it was also a tough time because I was the only actor who used to come on time. Karisma aati thi toh Raveena chali jati thi. Bahut mushkil se woh film bani thi (Karisma used to come to shoot and leave, and then Raveena would come. It was a challenge to shoot it)."In one of her previous interviews with Lehren Retro, Raveena spoke about being replaced by Karisma in 'Sajan Chale Sasural.' She stated that, "I have always believed in healthy competition because that brings out the best in you. But I am not a cutthroat person, nobody can say Raveena got me removed from a project or Raveena refused to work with a newcomer. I have never done that kind of politics and groupism but others have blatantly done politics against me. I was supposed to do 'Saajan Chale Sasural' with David Dhawan and Govinda and they told me this later. I had even signed 'Vijaypath', I lost the film."Raveen and Karisma worked together in movies like 'Andaz Apna Apna' and 'Aatish.'Raveena was last seen in the show 'Karmma Calling', streaming on JioHotstar.Must Watch

Shefali Jariwala's death: Old video of Paras Chhabra's ‘sudden death' prediction resurfaces
The sudden death of Shefali Jariwala, 42, shocked social media. She used to maintain a healthy lifestyle and work out regularly. She shot to fame in 2002 after appearing in a popular music video. All her life, she was known as the Kaanta Laga girl. After her death on June 27, an old podcast video with Paras Chhabra resurfaced. In it, the actor warned of health risks based on her horoscope. During an August 2024 episode of Chhabra's podcast on YouTube, Abraa ka Dabra Show, he spoke about her Kundli. Paras Chhabra, Shefali's co-contestant in Bigg Boss 13, pointed at the possibility of sudden death. He mentioned a troubling combination of planets in her 8th house. Moon, Ketu and Mercury were sitting together in Shefali's 8th House, also known as the House of Death. 'In your 8th house, Moon, Mercury and Ketu are positioned. The combination of Moon and Ketu is considered one of the worst. The 8th house also represents loss, sudden death, fame, hidden mysteries and matters related to tantra,' Chhabra told Shefali. 'For you, the presence of Moon and Ketu is already inauspicious, and now Mercury is also sitting with them. This points to anxiety and neurological problems,' he added. In the same podcast, Paras Chhabra advised her to go to the mountains whenever she felt anxious and stressed. He asked her to visit Mata Rani temples and Jyotirlingas. Shefali earlier revealed that she had suffered from epilepsy at 15. However, she was seizure-free for 20 years due to treatment, lifestyle changes and meditation. On June 28, Shefali Jariwala's husband, actor Parag Tyagi, tearfully performed her last rites at Oshiwara Crematorium and asked the media to be respectful and pray for her soul. Many TV stars and friends, including Sunidhi Chauhan, Shehnaaz Gill and Rashami Desai, visited her home to pay their respects. Parag had rushed her to a hospital, but she was declared dead on arrival. Though reports say it was a heart attack, the exact cause is still unknown.

Singer Jasbir Jassi faces legal heat over support for Pakistani actress
Popular Punjabi singer Jasbir Jassi has found himself at the center of controversy after publicly defending actor-singer Diljit Dosanjh's decision to cast Pakistani actress Hania Aamir in the upcoming film Sardaar Ji 3. His remarks have now led to a formal complaint being lodged against him at the Parliament Street police station in Delhi. According to the complaint, Jassi's support for involving a Pakistani artist in the film, especially in the immediate aftermath of the recent Pahalgam terrorist attack, is being seen as 'anti-national' and insensitive to the sacrifices of Indian soldiers. The complaint also claims that Jassi's statements — which are now widely circulating on social media — have stirred public outrage and hurt national sentiment. In a recent interview, Jassi openly addressed the backlash surrounding Sardaar Ji 3, stating: 'I see protests against Diljit's film because it stars a Pakistani actress. I understand the love for our country — I share that too. But what about the double standards? If you want to ban Pakistani artists, fine — but then why is 80% of our music industry filled with songs stolen from there, or sung by artists from that country? Why selectively target just one film?' He went on to criticize the inconsistency in such protests, adding: 'You can't invite someone into your home, enjoy what they bring, and then call them the enemy. If the sentiment is to ban, then let's remove everything — songs, content, all of it — from YouTube, Spotify, and every digital platform. But singling out one artist or film isn't the solution.' Jassi's comments have sparked intense debate online, with many supporting his call for consistency, while others deem his timing and tone inappropriate given the current national climate. With legal proceedings now in motion, the controversy surrounding Sardaar Ji 3 continues to deepen, underscoring the recurring tensions between cross-border cultural collaboration and national sentiment in India's entertainment industry.

Besides that, what caught everyone's eye were pictures of Karisma, sporting a huge diamond ring, sparking rumours that she is secretly engaged. Reports claimed that Karisma and Sandeep grew closer after she filed for divorce in 2014.

As per IB Times, her past turbulent marriage with Sunjay Kapur was one of the reasons that why she wasn't ready for long-term commitment. Also, things came out in perspective when Randhir Kapoor openly told that Karisma is in no 'mood to start a family' again. Addressing the rumours, he told a leading daily, 'There's no truth to this. I would want Karisma married again, but she isn't interested. We have spoken about it and she has clearly told me she doesn't want to start a family again. She wants to raise her kids (Samiera and Kiaan) well and that's her only plan right now.'
