In Indian film history, Sridevi's name is counted among those stars who won the hearts of the audience with their acting not only in Hindi cinema but also in Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada films. Due to her excellent acting skills, she was called the first female superstar of Indian cinema, but as much as her films were discussed, her personal life was also as interesting. During her career, there were talks about her relationships with many co-stars, the names of Mithun Chakraborty, Jeetendra and many others were included in this list, but there was one relationship which could never be completed, yet remained in the hearts of people for decades, that relationship was between Rajinikanth and Sridevi. From an onscreen couple to a close friendship Rajinikanth and Sridevi worked together in more than 20 films. Irrespective of the language, the chemistry of this pair set the screen on fire every time. Their films did wonders at the box office, and a deep friendship also developed between the two behind the scenes. The ease and mutual respect between the two were such that people started considering them an ideal couple in real life, too. Rajinikanth, who was 13 years older than Sridevi, gradually started getting attracted to her. The two came close, but what happened next will surprise you. An incomplete love story of Rajinikanth An anecdote, shared by late director K. Balachander, sums up Rajinikanth's feelings. He said that Rajinikanth had made up his mind to propose Sridevi and was once about to propose at her housewarming ceremony, but as soon as he reached the house, the power suddenly went off. Rajinikanth considered it a bad omen and left without saying anything. Rajinikanth then married Latha Rangachari in 1981, while Sridevi married renowned producer Boney Kapoor in 1996. When Rajinikanth fell ill, Sridevi fasted for him In 2011, Rajinikanth's condition became critical when he was admitted to the hospital due to dehydration and difficulty in breathing. He was taken to Singapore for treatment. Sridevi was extremely worried during this difficult time. She worshipped Shirdi Sai Baba and fasted for seven days for his speedy recovery. Not only this, she also specially visited Sai Baba temple in Pune and prayed for Rajinikanth's well-being. Her prayers and the prayers of millions of fans across the country bore fruit and Rajinikanth returned healthy. Rajinikanth was devastated by Sridevi's death Sridevi died suddenly on 24 February 2018. She died due to drowning in a bathtub while attending a family wedding function in Dubai. This sad news shocked the entire film industry and the country. Rajinikanth expressed deep condolences on social media and wrote, 'I am shocked and deeply saddened. I have lost a dear friend and this industry has lost a true legend. My condolences are with her family and friends. You will always be missed, Sridevi.' He immediately rushed to Mumbai to bid her a final farewell and paid his last respects to his dear friend with teary eyes.

Squid Game star TOP to release new solo album in 2025? Rapper begins contract talks with CJ ENM for musical comeback
K-pop veteran and former BIGBANG member T.O.P appears to be taking active steps toward reviving his long-paused music career. According to an industry report released on July 23, the rapper is exploring a solo comeback. He is reportedly in early discussions with entertainment powerhouse CJ ENM for an exclusive contract. The news follows a public interview last month where T.O.P shared his aspirations to release new solo music in the latter half of 2025. Currently, the artist operates independently and is not signed to any agency. If confirmed, a new partnership could mark a defining chapter in his post-BIGBANG career. 'T.O.P is in talks with CJ ENM for a solo contract, including plans for a new solo album scheduled for release in the second half of this year,' an anonymous source told The Korea Herald. It suggests that plans for a new album are already in motion. CJ ENM denies contract talks with T.O.P Despite the growing media buzz, CJ ENM swiftly issued a statement denying that any official discussions are underway. 'There have been no talks regarding an exclusive contract or comeback with T.O.P,' said a CJ ENM representative in response to the speculation. CJ ENM is a leading name in South Korea's entertainment industry. It's known for managing a diverse artist roster through subsidiaries like WakeOne, Stone Music Entertainment, and Lapone Entertainment. The latter is co-managed with Japan's Yoshimoto Kogyo and known for producing multinational K-pop acts. However, it remains unclear whether any of these sub-labels would handle T.O.P 's potential project if talks were to progress. T.O.P eyes solo comeback after YG exit, 10 years since Doom Dada T.O.P, born Choi Seung Hyun, parted ways with YG Entertainment in February 2022. He ended a 16-year affiliation with the label that launched BIGBANG into K-pop superstardom. The following year, in May 2023, he officially confirmed his departure from the group. Since stepping away from group activities, T.O.P has largely stayed under the radar, occasionally surfacing for acting roles. His last official solo release, the avant-garde single Doom Dada, dates back to November 2013. This makes any upcoming project his first solo release in over a decade. Despite the long gap, fan excitement has remained strong. Many longtime fans are hoping to see him reclaim his space in the ever-changing K-pop landscape. T.O.P's acting comeback in Squid Game While his music may be on pause, T.O.P made headlines for his unexpected return to acting. He took on a role in Netflix's hit series Squid Game Season 2 and Season 3. He portrays a character named Thanos, a former rapper. The casting marked T.O.P's first major on-screen appearance in years and was met with mixed reactions given his controversial past. It was a bold reintroduction for the artist, who had largely kept a low profile since his 2017 legal controversy. It temporarily derailed his career and kept him out of major entertainment projects for several years. As discussions with CJ ENM remain unofficial and unconfirmed, nothing is set in stone. But T.O.P's public openness about a comeback, coupled with industry chatter, suggests that something is finally in the works.
