The actor is Kamal Haasan, who was quite famous for his personal life. Once, Kamal Haasan's name was also associated with actress Rekha. The news of their affair came to light when both of them worked together in a film. In 1981, Rekha had signed the Tamil film 'Meendum Kokila' along with the film 'Silsila'. Kamal Haasan and Sridevi were also in this film. It is said that during this time, the relationship between Rekha and Kamal Haasan became very deep. Both of them became very close to each other.
Rekha, Kamal Haasan and Sridevi What happened when Kamal Haasan's wife caught them together?
Rumours about Rekha and Kamal Haasan's relationship spread so widely that they eventually reached Haasan's home. The actor was married to Vani Ganapathy in 1978. When news of Rekha and Kamal's alleged relationship reached Vani, it reportedly left her shocked. It is said that she once caught Kamal Haasan with Rekha in a Chennai hotel.
Years later, a journalist writing for Rediff recalled the incident, claiming that Vani Ganapathy allegedly caught Kamal and Rekha together in a Chennai hotel. The journalist wrote, 'In late 1979, I was working at the Hotel Chola Sheraton in Chennai. One night, when I reported for work, I found the place in a tizzy. As the girls at reception told the story, Kamal Haasan and Rekha Ganesan were in the latter's room in the hotel when Kamal's then-wife, Vani Ganapathy, arrived and gave her husband a public dressing-down,' the journalist claimed. How did Kamal Haasan's wife react after seeing him with Rekha in a room?
After Vani Ganapathy caught Kamal and Rekha in a hotel room, Rekha was reportedly dropped from 'Meendum Kokila' and replaced by Malayalam actress Deepa (Unni Mary). While no one has ever confirmed or denied the incident publicly. The story became like a rumour. After two years, Vani and Kamal's marriage also ended. The actor moved on and married actress Sarika. The actor met her on the set of Raja Paarvai and they started dating. It was reported that Sarika became pregnant with Shruti Haasan before her marriage to Kamal, but their marriage also didn't work as they filed for divorce after a year.

This popular Malayalam actress and social media influencer chose vulnerability over perfection. Divya Krishnan is the daughter of BJP leader and actor Krishna Kumar. What Made Divya's Vlog Viral? In her video, she has documented this intimate chapter of her life, which is striking an emotional chord with the audience. It was shot at a private hospital in Thiruvananthapuram. In the video, Divya says, 'I packed my makeup set because I want to look trendy for my child. I don't want to be seen as a mother with pimples.

How directorial debuts are shaping Malayalam cinema
(Picture Courtesy: Facebook) It's always a refreshing feeling to watch a movie directed by a debutant filmmaker, and the reasons are plenty. Coming to the Malayalam film industry, it has always opened doors to debutant filmmakers, and needless to say majority of them have proved their talent. Let's take a look at how the directorial debuts are shaping Malayalam cinema . Bringing something new to the table This is one of the major advantages of having a debut director on board. Every story has a common factor, and how it changes is the way it is presented to the audiences, and these debut directors like Manu Swaraj ('Padakkalam'), Sreeraj Sreenivasan ('Pravinkoodu Shappu'), and many others have infused a different and unique story treatment, which makes it special. Padakkalam - Official Trailer (Picture Courtesy: Facebook) 'The first thing about Joju is that he has conviction' - 'Pani' actress Abhaya Hiranmayi At the very end of 2024, the actor Joju George proved that he is not only a talented actor but also a genius filmmaker. Through his directorial debut 'Pani', Joju George proved that a Korean gangster thriller style can be infused in a normal Indian style gangster movie. Many sequences in the film prove that Joju knows his game. In an exclusive interview with the 'Pani' actress Abhaya Hiranmayi, she told, 'The first thing about Joju is that he has conviction. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Gentle Japanese hair growth method for men and women's scalp Hair's Rich Learn More Undo That's his best quality. He's got so much going on—directing, acting, producing—his mind is everywhere. He has a kind of craziness on set, but he has conviction in everything he does. He knows what he wants and communicates it to everyone, whether they're comfortable with their dialogues or scenes. His kind of friendship on set is something amazing. I understood that he could do even more directing in the future.' Not everything was a success While several newcomers impressed the audiences with their directorial debut films, the legendary actor Mohanlal disappointed with his directorial debut movie 'Barroz'. Although the efforts were praiseworthy, the overdramatic style and several loopholes made 'Barroz' a tiring watch even for those who were keen to witness Mohanlal's directorial style. Many of the other films, like 'Bazooka' 'ID: The Fake', 'Secret', and others, also failed to impress the audiences. (Picture Courtesy: Facebook) 'Mohanlal was hurt by 'Barroz' failure - Producer Shibu Baby John In a talk with Mathrubhumi, the producer Shibu Baby John revealed that Mohanlal was hurt by the failure of his directorial debut. He said, 'Mohanlal was hurt by 'Barroz' failure. Audiences, including Mohanlal fans, were not interested in the film.' In another media interaction, Mohanlal said, 'The responsibility of taking a film forward lies with the audience. I see 'Barroz' as something significant that is being given back to society after four decades. Everyone who has watched the film has enjoyed it. However, some people haven't even seen the movie yet, coming forward to criticize it. I am someone who accepts criticism. But when you criticize something, you should understand it well. This is simply a different experiment from me and my exceptionally talented team.' Opportunities for new filmmakers There is, obviously, a wide scope for new filmmakers to showcase their talents, but what matters is whether they can keep up with the interests of the audiences through their storytelling style. For example, Jithu Madhavan's 'Romancham' can be simply categorized as a horror comedy film, but what makes it different is the treatment. Never in any sequence, the director try to bring out the ghost in the movie, apart from teasing the viewers with small elements that surely work. In short, there is surely no specific formula for the success of a film, nor can one definitely confirm that a debut director will be able to pull off successful films only. It all matters whether you are able to tell a story differently and give it good traction.
