Many times we get to hear shocking stories from the film industry. Once a superhit heroine even slapped another top actress. Everyone was stunned after reading the gossip. This is the story of the cold war between Dharmendra's two superhit heroines. About which many things were being said in the industry. Then later both of them also reacted to this incident.
This is the story of the 1968 film Humsaaya, when Mala Sinha and Sharmila Tagore worked together. Both were top actresses of their time. There was a lot of competition between them. Then Joy Mukherjee cast both of them in his film Humsaaya. But soon the director started feeling as if he had taken on a problem. It is said that the pride of both of them started clashing. This is the reason for all the ruckus.
Along with Sharmila Tagore and Mala Sinha, Joy Mukherjee himself was also in the lead role in Humsaaya. According to Masala's report, things were not well on the set between Mala Sinha and Sharmila. There was an ego clash between the two. Sometimes it was about costumes, sometimes about dialogues and sometimes about songs. One felt that the other got better songs while the other felt that the other got more screen time. There was a lot of tension between the two over these small things.
But the tension between the two increased when Mala Sinha allegedly slapped Sharmila Tagore in anger. Masala's report claimed that the disagreements between the two kept increasing over petty issues. Sometimes there was a competition for seniority and they would reach the set late. Gradually, this conflict reached its peak, and Mala Sinha slapped Sharmila Tagore. It is said that some people saw this incident but it was never confirmed.
When this story came out again after years, both of them had reacted to these gossips. While Sharmila had completely rejected these things, Mala Sinha had called these rumours as useless talks just for the publicity of the film.
Mala Sinha worked with almost every big star in her career. She had appeared in many hit films with Dharmendra. But she has been a big fan of Dilip Kumar. But unfortunately, she kept dreaming of working with him in a film all her life, which could never be fulfilled. She was also sorry about this, in one of her old interviews, she herself had revealed that both of them never got a chance to work together.

Setback for Saif & family over 15,000 crore ancestral property as HC orders retrial

Saif Ali Khan (PTI photo) JABALPUR: In a setback to actor Saif Ali Khan and his family, who inherited Rs 15,000 crore properties owned by Bhopal's erstwhile rulers, Madhya Pradesh HC has set aside the trial court's verdict given over two decades ago, and ordered a retrial in the case. In its order passed on June 30, the single bench of HC of Justice Sanjay Dwivedi set aside the judgment and decree of the trial court which upheld Pataudis (Saif Ali Khan, his mother Sharmila Tagore and his two sisters Soha and Saba) to be the owners of the properties. It also directed the trial court to make all possible efforts to conclude and decide the matter within one year. Nawab Hamidullah was the last ruling Nawab of the princely state of Bhopal. He and his wife Maimoona Sultan had three daughters - Abida, Sajida and Rabia. Sajida married Iftikhar Ali Khan Pataudi and became the Nawab Begum of Bhopal. Their son, Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi, former Indian cricket team skipper married Sharmila Tagore. After Nawab Hamidullah's eldest daughter Abida migrated to Pakistan, Sajida became the owner of the properties. Later, her son Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi (Tiger Pataudi, who married Sharmila Tagore) became the successor of these properties estimated to be valued at nearly Rs 15,000 crore, which were inherited by Saif Ali and his siblings.

In their pleas, they stated that the Bhopal district court's judgment and decree dated Feb 14, 2000 dismissed their suits unfairly. Their lawyers pleaded that the partition of his (Nawab's) personal property should have been done between them and defendants Saif Ali, Sharmila and 16 other heirs as per the Muslim Personal Law. The appellants opposed the defendants (Pataudis) for citing the certificate issued by the Govt of India on Jan 10, 1962 in favour of Sajida Begum as the sole successor of all the private properties. Justice Dwivedi said, "The matters are remanded back to the trial court for deciding it afresh." "And if so required, the trial court can allow the parties to lead further evidence in view of the subsequent development and changed legal position," the court ordered.
