This actor made his debut with superhit film, became overnight superstar, married twice, career got ruined after he went to jail, he was...
Bollywood has produced many legendary stars who have enhanced Hindi cinema, including icons such as Amitabh Bachchan, Manoj Kumar, Jeetendra, and Dharmendra. Among these was one actor who, at his height, even outshone many cinema stalwarts. However, fate dealt him a tough blow, and his stardom began to fade. Bollywood Actor Navin Nischol We are discussing veteran actor Navin Nischol, who started his career in modeling after completing school and even made it to the major round of the Mr. India competition in Delhi during the 1960s. While on his way to Mumbai for the final round, he encountered his father's friend, the famous filmmaker Mohan Segal. Eventually, Segal encouraged Navin to enroll in the Film Institute in Pune for proper training in cinema. In the following years, Mohan Segal provided Navin with his big break, casting him alongside Rekha in 'Sawan Bhadon', which marked the debut film for both future stars, making him the first hero to star with the legendary actress. Left Many Stalwarts Of Cinema Way Back Released in 1970, Navin's debut film became a significant success, granting him immediate fame. Filmmakers began to seek him out, and he went on to appear in films like 'Victoria No. 203,' 'Dhund', and 'Hanste Zakhm.' At one point, he was even seen as a bigger star than Amitabh Bachchan, Dharmendra, and Jeetendra. Interestingly, Amitabh played a negative character in the 1971 romantic drama 'Parwana', while Navin took the lead role alongside veteran actress Yogita Baali. However, by the mid-70s, a series of box office failures started to impact Navin's career, leading him to take on supporting and character roles, which resulted in a significant decline in his career trajectory. Navin Nischol And The Legal Trouble Navin Nischol was first married to Neelu Kapoor, who was the niece of Dev Anand and the sister of famous filmmaker Shekhar Kapur. However, rumors about his relationship with actress Padmini Kapila caused their marriage to fall apart, leading to a divorce. He later married Geetanjali, who had been divorced before. On April 22, 2006, Geetanjali took her own life and left a note accusing Navin of mental harassment, claiming that his brother Praveen encouraged it. Consequently, both Navin and Praveen were taken into police custody until May 6, 2006. According to India Today, their lawyer Satish Maneshinde mentioned that Geetanjali was struggling with depression and alcoholism. The two were eventually released. On March 19, 2011, Navin passed away due to a cardiac arrest.

Bollywood has seen many legendary stars who have elevated Hindi cinema, including icons like Amitabh Bachchan, Raj Kapoor, Manoj Kumar, Vinod Khanna, and Dharmendra. Among them was one actor who, at his peak, even surpassed the fame of Big B and the Kapoors. However, fate took a harsh turn. From being a top star, he faced a steep downfall and was later entangled in legal trouble following his wife's suicide, which even led him to jail. Let's identify who this actor was. The First Hero Of Rekha Here we are talking about veteran actor Naveen Nischol, who ventured into modelling after finishing school and even cleared the major round of Mr. India competition held in Delhi during the 1960s. While travelling to Mumbai for the final round, he met his father's friend, renowned filmmaker Mohan Segal. After a while, Segal advised Naveen to join the Film Institute in Pune to gain proper training in cinema. In upcoming years, Mohan Segal gave Naveen his big break and featured him opposite Rekha in 'Sawan Bhadon', which became debut film for both future stars and he initially became the first hero to feature with the legendary actress. Became Bigger Than Amitabh Bachchan, Vinod Khanna Released in 1970, the debut film of Naveen became a major hit, which gave him instant fame. Filmmakers began approaching him eagerly, and he went on to star in films like 'Victoria No. 203,' 'Dhund', and 'Hanste Zakhm.' At a point, he was even regarded as a bigger star than Amitabh Bachchan, Dharmendra and Vinod Khanna. Interestingly, Amitabh played a negative role in 1971 romantic drama 'Parwana', while Naveen was the lead with veteran actress Yogita Baali. However, by the mid-70s, box office failures began affecting Naveen's career, pushing him toward supporting and character roles, which caused a huge downfall in his career graph. When Naveen Landed Into A Serious Legal Trouble Naveen Nischol's first marriage was to Neelu Kapoor, who was the niece of Dev Anand and sister of renowned filmmaker Shekhar Kapur. However, rumours of his involvement with actress Padmini Kapila led to the breakdown of the marriage that later turned into divorce. He later tied the knot with Geetanjali, who was previously divorced. On April 22, 2006, Geetanjali committed suicide and left a note in which she accused Naveen of mental harassment and alleged that his brother Praveen, encouraged it. The note mentioned ' I, Geetanjali Navin Nischol, am committing suicide because Shri Navinji is an alcoholic and is beyond reform, because of his alcoholism, I am mentally tortured by him and he is being instigated by Pravin Nischol to torture me and I hold Pravin responsible for all this torture to me.' As a result, both Naveen and Praveen were taken into police custody until May 6, 2006. According to India Today, their lawyer Satish Maneshinde stated that Geetanjali was battling depression and alcoholism. The two were eventually released. On March 19, 2011 Naveen took his last breath as the actor suffered a cardiac arrest.

UP youth to get preference in jobs at film institute in Noida Film City
Lucknow: Youth from the state will be given preference in the state-of-the-art Film Institute being established in the upcoming International Film City near the Yamuna Expressway, an official spokesperson said on Wednesday. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The International Film City is being developed in Sector 21 under the Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA). The construction of the Film City will be carried out by Bayview Bhutani Film City Pvt Ltd—a consortium led by renowned Bollywood filmmaker and the Bhutani Group. In its first phase, the project will cover 230 acres and involve an investment of Rs 1,510 crore. It will include the construction of multiple studios and the film institute, expected to be completed within the next three years. "The film institute will be one of its kind. In the first phase, it will be built over an area of 3 lakh square feet. The institute will have modern classrooms, studios, editing suites, and a VR lab equipped with the latest technologies. Students will get hands-on experience working on real film projects and will also have access to the latest film-making technologies," said Rajeev Arora, general manager of the company. He added, "Local youth will be given priority in both training and employment. Special preference will be given to the youth from the Yamuna Expressway region and nearby areas, while young people from other parts of Uttar Pradesh will also benefit." He also mentioned that training local youth and offering them jobs will be more cost-effective than hiring staff from Mumbai. This will help create jobs within the film city in areas like studios, production, and more. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The institute will offer courses in acting, story writing, script writing, editing, camera operation, lighting, spot boy duties, VFX, fashion, and mass communication. In addition, it will provide training and facilities related to film music. There will be workshops, internships, and guest lectures in partnership with production houses, allowing students to learn directly from industry experts. The Film City will also host movie premieres, so that production houses don't have to travel to other cities to launch their films. A comprehensive resource centre will be set up with films, scripts, and academic materials, which will serve as a valuable asset for both students and filmmakers. The institute will also organise film festivals, exhibitions, and competitions, giving students opportunities to showcase their talent. The campus will also include facilities like hostels, a cafeteria, a health centre, and recreational areas for students.
