Dawood Ibrahim was madly in love with these 4 actresses, one quit acting, one disappeared mysteriously, one heroine is looking for a partner, names are…

There was a time when Bollywood danced to the tunes of fear, and Dawood Ibrahim played the conductor. In the 80s and 90s, his name was more powerful than any producer's, and any actor or actress who had his backing rose overnight. But what came with the glow was an inevitable shadow.
Over the years, whispers and headlines have circled four striking women who, for better or worse, became linked to India's most wanted underworld don. Here's a look at what happened to the women Dawood reportedly loved, where they soared, and where they vanished. Mandakini
The Ram Teri Ganga Maili actress was reportedly one of Dawood's earliest high-profile obsessions. Their pictures from race courses to public events made gossip columns explode.
While the affection seemed mutual, 'Both were seen together quite a few times,' noted sources, the attention gradually eclipsed Mandakini's career. She withdrew from the limelight and slipped into years of controversy and speculation. Anita Ayub
Pakistani actress Anita Ayub's Bollywood entry came with more than just roles; she had alleged support from Dawood himself. Things took a dark turn when Javed Siddiqui, a filmmaker, was allegedly shot dead for refusing to cast her.
After that, Anita disappeared from the industry. Though she reportedly remarried after a failed first marriage, her current whereabouts remain unknown. Jasmine Dhunna
Veerana actress Jasmine Dhunna captivated audiences, and allegedly, Dawood too. But as rumours of his interest intensified, Jasmine vanished.
Some say she fled abroad and even married a Jordanian man, but nothing has been confirmed. Her life after Bollywood remains an enduring mystery. Mehwish Hayat
From an item girl to one of Pakistan's top stars, Mehwish Hayat's rise was sudden — and, reportedly, helped by her rumoured link to Dawood. While she has never acknowledged any such connection, her recent quote, 'I've started thinking seriously about marriage. My mom keeps pushing me,' sparked online chatter that the alleged romance is over. Were these women victims of obsession or beneficiaries of influence?
Each of these women gained something: fame, attention, power. But they also paid a price, often with their careers, privacy, and freedom.
Love stories tied to the underworld were never just gossip; they were loaded, explosive, and unforgettable.

Kargil Vijay Diwas: From PM Modi To Bollywood Stars, Tributes Pour In For India's Bravehearts

Mumbai: Every year on July 26, India commemorates Kargil Vijay Diwas, a day etched in the nation's heart with pride and solemn remembrance. It marks the day in 1999 when India successfully concluded Operation Vijay, reclaiming the strategic heights from Pakistani intruders. On this occasion, several Bollywood celebrities took to their social media handle to pay heartfelt tribute to the brave soldiers who sacrificed their lives during the 1999 war. In a post on social media X, Ajay Devgn wrote, "Jaha maut bhi kaanp jaaye, waha hamare Hindustan ke jawan khade hote our bravehearts today and every day " Actor Sidharth Malhotra, who played the role of Indian Army Captain Vikram Batra in 'Shershaah', paid tribute to the bravehearts, "To the countless brave hearts who stood tall so we could sleep safe & sound, your spirit lives on in every heartbeat of a proud and graceful nation. Saluting your sacrifice, today and always. #KargilVijayDiwas" "The war may be history, but their bravery is eternal. Saluting the courage that echoed through the mountains of Kargil. Forever indebted to the real heroes who gave us victory and kept the Tiranga soaring high with blood, grit and glory. Jai Hind," wrote Suniel Shetty on X. Legendary actor Anupam Kher also paid homage to the soldiers who sacrificed their lives during the 1999 Kargil War, "On #KargilDiwas #TeamTanviTheGreat SALUTE the #INDIANARMY. Jai Hind! @anupamkherstud1" Celina Jaitly, whose father, Colonel Vikram Kumar Jaitly, was an officer in the Indian Army, took to her Instagram handle and wrote, "#kargilvijaydiwas: My late father Colonel Vikram Kumar Jaitly's ( SM) Always said: If you want to honour a soldier, be an Indian worth dying for! Today marks 26 years of India's victory in the Kargil War, a glorious triumph over enemy forces in 1999. India lost 527 brave soldiers in that conflict. We remember them. We honour them. We will never forget. With folded hands and deepest gratitude, Jai Hind" Prime Minister Narendra Modi extended greetings on the occasion of Kargil Vijay Diwas on Saturday and remembered the sacrifices of the jawans who fought in the Kargil War with courage and valour. PM Modi said that sacrifices made by the jawans will continue to inspire every generation."Heartfelt greetings to the countrymen on Kargil Vijay Diwas. This occasion reminds us of the unparalleled courage and valour of those brave sons of Mother India who dedicated their lives to protect the nation's pride. Their passion to sacrifice everything for the motherland will continue to inspire every generation," PM Modi posted on X. The conflict, known as the Kargil war, started in May 1999 when Pakistani intruders crossed the Line of Control and occupied Indian posts on towering ridges with the aim of capturing National Highway 1A, the vital artery connecting Srinagar to Leh at that time. On spotting the intruders, India subsequently launched Operation Vijay. The operation showed the meticulous planning, steely determination, and the indomitable spirit of the forces as the soldiers fought over two months in harsh terrain to drive out every intruder and restored Indian control at every post. Kargil Vijay Diwas honours the sacrifices of the soldiers who fought at the Line of Control on the snow-clad peaks amid relentless enemy fire. On July 26, the Indian flag once again soared over the mountains of Ladakh, thanks to the efforts of our armed forces. During the war, 4 soldiers were awarded the Param Vir Chakra (PVC), India's highest gallantry award. 9 soldiers received the Maha Vir Chakra (MVC) and 55 were honoured with the Vir Chakra (VC). 1 soldier was awarded the Sarvottam Yudh Seva Medal (SYSM), while 6 received the Uttam Yudh Seva Medal (UYSM) and 8 were honoured with the Yudh Seva Medal (YSM). The Sena Medal (SM) was awarded to 83 personnel, and 24 received the Vayu Sena Medal (VSM)

Sidharth Malhotra Drops Vikram Batra's Photo On Kargil Vijay Diwas: 'Saluting Your Sacrifice'

Kargil Vijay Diwas is celebrated every year on July 26, to observe India's victory over Pakistan in the Kargil War. On the occasion of Kargil Vijay Diwas on Saturday, Sidharth Malhotra wished the 'countless brave hearts who stood tall" and 'saluted their sacrifice". The Bollywood actor also shared a picture of Captain Vikram Batra, who was killed while fighting Pakistani troops in the Kargil district of erstwhile Jammu and Kashmir. Sharing a picture of the army officer, who was posthumously awarded the Param Vir Chakra, Sidharth, who played Captain Vikram Batra in the 2021 film 'Shershaah", wrote: 'To the countless brave hearts who stood tall so we could sleep safe and sound, your spirit lives on in every heartbeat of a proud and graceful nation." 'Saluting your sacrifice, today and always. #KargilVijayDiwas," he added. Kargil Vijay Diwas is celebrated every year on July 26, to observe India's victory over Pakistan in the Kargil War for ousting Pakistani Forces from their occupied positions on the mountain tops of the Northern Kargil District in Ladakh in 1999. Talking about 'Shershaah", a biographical war drama film directed by Vishnuvardhan, the film stars Sidharth Malhotra in a dual role as Indian Army Captain Vikram Batra and his twin brother Vishal, alongside Kiara Advani as Dimple Cheema. The narrative follows Batra's journey from a young cadet to a decorated officer in the Kargil War, culminating in his martyrdom during Operation Vijay in 1999. The film emerged as a major digital success and became the most-watched Indian film on Amazon Prime Video in India at the time of its release. In other news, Sidharth on July 16 officially announced the arrival of his first bundle of joy, a baby girl with wife Kaira Advani and said that their 'world" has 'forever changed." Sidharth took to Instagram, where he shared an announcement post in pink from his and Kiara's behalf. The post read: 'Our hearts are full and our world forever changed. We are blessed with a Baby Girl. KIARA & SIDHARTH." For the caption, Sidharth dropped a heart, namaste and evil eye emoji. It was on July 15 when the news about the arrival of their baby girl started doing the rounds. The couple announced their pregnancy in February this year, and the actress was due in August. However, a few days ago, the couple were spotted at a maternity medical facility, raising concerns about the mother and the child. The actress was taken to H. N. Reliance Hospital in the Girgaon area of Mumbai for her delivery. The couple tied the knot in a dreamy ceremony in February 2023 after dating for several years. While the two prefer to keep their personal lives lowkey, they make sure to surprise their fans with their occasional PDA on social media.
