Meet actor who offered Big B Rs 5,000 for Saat Hindustani, fought with Madhuri Dixit over costume, survived on his wife's support and now…
Tinnu Anand's father, Inder Raj Anand, was a well-known writer in the Bollywood film industry. Despite his being a part of the glamor world, he did not want his son to enter the industry. But, the creative streak in him forced the veteran actor to go to his dad and confront him about his desire to direct a film.
Tinnu had revealed that this had upset his father. But when he saw that his son did not want to do anything else, Anand was sent to the Satyajit Ray School.
In an interview, the Ghajini actor has revealed how he was offered K Abass' film Saat Hindustani. The heroine of this film, Neena Singh, suggests Amitabh Bachchan 's name for a role in the film. To this, Abbas had said that Big B will have to come to Mumbai for auditions at his own expense, and this is how he landed in the dream city. It was Tinnu who took him to the filmmaker's office and was given the 'dirty job' of offering Big B Rs. 5000 for the entire film.
Reportedly, Anand even got in a spat with Madhuri Dixit over her costume, which made the actress walk out of Shanakht.
He is married to Shahnaz, daughter of veteran actor Agha. His wife, who is a writer and former editor of Star & Style magazine, financially supported the family when the actor was initially struggling in the industry.

Rolls-Royce Cars Of Bollywood Actors Fined 38 Lakhs. There's A 'KGF' Twist
Bengaluru: Two Rolls-Royce cars, each registered in the names of two Bollywood superstars, were fined more than 18 lakh and nearly 20 lakh, respectively, for failing to pay road tax in the capital city of Karnataka. However, they don't own these cars, at least not anymore. Both cars are owned by a local businessman-politician, Yusuf Sharif, who was using the ultra-luxury vehicles regularly. Mr Sharif claimed he bought a Rolls-Royce Phantom from Amitabh Bachchan and Rolls-Royce Ghost from another actor a few years ago, but didn't transfer them into his name. Mr Sharif is also known as 'KGF Babu' due to his roots. He is a native of Kolar Gold Fields (KGF), a mining town in Karnataka, which gained popularity after the blockbuster Kannada movie series, 'KGF'. The Rolls-Royce Phantom and the Rolls-Royce Ghost are registered in Maharashtra. The exact date of when KGF Babu bought these cars is not known as of yet. But, as per the Regional Transport Office (RTO), the Rolls-Royce Phantom has been in Bengaluru since 2021, and the other one since 2023. While Phanton was fined Rs 18.53 lakh, Ghost was fined Rs 19.73 lakh over long-term usage in Karnataka without payment of local road tax. Officials revealed that the Rolls-Royce Phantom was first flagged over non-payment of taxes in 2021, but since at the time it had not completed a year in Bengaluru, it was let off without penalty. But now, both cars have been confirmed to have been operating in the city well beyond the one-year limit set by transport rules, triggering these hefty fines. RTO officials have confirmed that the ownership of the vehicles hasn't changed yet on paper. Mr Sharif, who contested from Bangalore Urban local authorities' constituency in the 2021 Karnataka Legislative Council polls, had declared assets belonging to him and his family worth over Rs 1,744 crore four years ago. He was earlier into selling scrap before foraying into real estate.

Bollywood twist in Bengaluru? Amitabh Bachchan, Aamir Khan's old Rolls-Royce cars fined ₹38 Lakhs. Know why
Rolls-Royce cars of Amitabh Bachchan, and Aamir Khan have reportedly been fined ₹ 38 lakhs. The only catch? The luxury cars in question, actually do not belong to the Bollywood stars. In a strange turn of events, the two Rolls-Royce cars—one registered under the name of Big B, and the other under Aamir Khan, were fined over ₹ 18 lakh and ₹ 20 lakh respectively, in Bengaluru, reported NDTV. The B' town stars, however, do not own the cars anymore. Both the luxury cars actually belong to Yusuf Sharif, a local businessman-politician better known as 'KGF Babu,' thanks to his roots in the mining town of Kolar Gold Fields—also made famous by the hit Kannada film KGF. According to NDTV, 'KGF Babu' had bought the Rolls-Royce from Amitabh Bachchan and Aamir Khan a few years back, but never transferred the ownership to his name, on paper. That paperwork blunder finally caught up with him. The Phantom, from Big B has been cruising around Bengaluru since 2021, while the Ghost – previously owned by Aamir Khan — joined it in 2023—both still bearing Maharashtra registrations, causing the city's Regional Transport Office (RTO) to raise eyebrows. Officials revealed that the Rolls Royce previously owned by Amitabh Bachchan was flagged for non-payment of taxes in 2021, but since at the time it had not completed a year in Bengaluru, it was let off without penalty. But now, both cars have been confirmed to have been operating in the city well beyond the one-year limit set by transport rules, triggering these hefty fines. Rolls Royce Phantom was fined ₹ 18.53 lakh, while Ghost was fined ₹ 19.73 lakh over long-term usage in Karnataka without payment of local road tax. Before venturing into real estate, Yusuf Sharif used to sell scrap.
