Getting into films was inevitable, says entrepreneur Anil Shetty
Entrepreneur Anil Shetty is ready to embrace the silver screen. Marking his birthday 'with a bold new chapter', Anil officially announced his entry into the world of cinema — both as an actor and writer. 'For some, my leap into films might seem unexpected, yet for me, it feels inevitable. I've always admired storytelling in its purest form, and after years of influencing things from behind the scenes, I'm ready to step into the spotlight,' says Anil. 'I remember a celebrated name from the Kannada film industry once nudged me towards acting, seeing something in my screen presence. Back then, I chose to stay rooted in my ventures and civic initiatives, but the storyteller inside me never stopped growing. Now, the time just feels right.' Looking ahead, he adds, 'I'm still deep in my ventures across fashion, tech, and youth empowerment, having even worked with names like Sunil Shetty and KL Rahul in the past. My entire journey, from startups to social movements, has always been powered by one guiding principle: impact. That very same drive is now fuelling my exploration into cinema,' he says. 'A fresh, fearless narrative with a cinematic punch' Meanwhile, sources from the Kannada film industry hint that the script 'penned by Anil is anything but ordinary — a fresh, fearless narrative that speaks to contemporary themes with cinematic punch'. Though details around the title and crew remain under wraps, insiders also suggest the project 'brings together some of the most exciting creative voices in the industry — in sync with Anil's forward-thinking energy and disruptive vision'.

'Wives should first learn how to make a home': Kishore Kumar divorced first wife Ruma Ghosh as she pursued a music career, cared for ailing wife Madhubala until her death
One of the most iconic singers of Bollywood in the 1970s, Kishore Kumar often made headlines for his family life and failed marriages. The legendary playback singer was married four times, and he once opened up about these well-known relationships. Kishore Kumar about his marriage with Ruma Ghosh At just 21, Kishore tied the knot with Bengali actress Ruma Ghosh, and they got divorced in 1958. Kishore talked about their marriage in an old interview with The Illustrated Weekly of India. 'She wanted to build a choir and a career. I wanted someone to build me a home. How can the two reconcile? You see, I'm a simple-minded villager type. I don't understand this business about women making careers. Wives should first learn how to make a home. And how can you fit the two together? A career and a home are quite separate things. That's why we went our separate ways,' he revealed. Did Kishore Kumar dump Madhubala after knowing her illness? Kishore Kumar about Madhubala's demise In 1960, Kishore married actress Madhubala. Madhubala suffered from a congenital heart condition, and after her demise, he got married again. Kishore stated that he knew she was ill before marrying her. He fulfilled his promise by making her his wife even though he knew she was dealing with a congenital heart problem. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Costco Shoppers Say This Wrinkle Cream Is "Actually Worth It" The Skincare Magazine Undo He took care of her for nine long years. 'She was such a beautiful woman and she died so painfully. She would rave and rant and scream in frustration. How can such an active person spend nine long years bedridden? And I had to humour her all the time. That's what the doctor asked me to do. That's what I did till her very last breath. I would laugh with her. I would cry with her,' he stated. Kishore Kumar and Yogeeta Bali's marriage Kishore's third marriage was to actress Yogeeta Bali in 1976, and they ended their marriage in 1978. 'That was a joke. I don't think she was serious about marriage. She was only obsessed with her mother. She never wanted to live here,' he said. Kishore Kumar's marriage with Leena Chandavarkar In 1980, Kishore found companionship with actress Leena Chandavarkar, with whom he remained until his death in 1989. He spoke of her with warmth and empathy. 'She too is an actress like all of them, but she's very different. She's seen tragedy. She's faced grief. When your husband is shot dead, you change. You understand life. You realise the ephemeral quality of all things. I am happy now,' he said. Kishore Kumar passed away in 1989 following a heart attack.
