Meet actress, who became a star 24 years ago, one mistake ruined her career, quit Bollywood to become a monk, name is..., Aamir Khan was her... Gracy Singh, best known for Lagaan , was one of the most popular names in Bollywood. She collaborated with many stars such as Aamir Khan, Ajay Devgn, Sanjay Dutt, and Amitabh Bachchan. She began her acting career with 1997 television serial Amanat . Later, in 2001, she ventured into films and gave a breakthrough performance in Ashutosh Gowariker's L agaan: Once Upon a Time in India. The film was written and directed by Ashutosh Gowariker, and bankrolled by Aamir Khan. The film was a blockbuster and became the third Indian film to be nominated for the Academy Awards in the Best Foreign Language category, after Mother India and Salaam Bombay. Gracy's sweet and innocent portrayal was widely appreciated alongside Aamir Khan. Moreover, Lagaan had 8 wins, and became the most-awarded film at the 47th Filmfare Awards. Thereafter, Gracy Singh starred in superhit films like Munna Bhai MBBS and Gangaajal. Despite receiving immense love from the audiences, she couldn't build a stardom for herself. The biggest mistake of her career was starring in KRK's Deshdrohi, which failed to impress fans and turned out to be a biggest box office disaster. After giving consecutive flops in Bollywood, Grace started acting in Tamil, Telugu Malayalam, Gujarati, Punjabi, and Bengali films. She couldn't experience success there either. In 2013, Gracy joined Brahma Kumaris World Spiritual University. She became quite involved in their religious rules and started participating in all the events. Once in an interview, she expressed how she felt after joining Brahmakumari and said, 'I experienced boundless safety, peace, joy, understanding, acceptance, and cooperation. I met people from all over the world who were humble, kind, and understanding here (Brahmakumari World Spiritual University).' Gracy made her last on-screen appearance in the 2020 with the TV serial 'Santoshi Maa – Sunayein Vrat Kathayein, which was a sequel to the show Santoshi Maa. Bankrolled by Rashmi Sharma and Pawan Kumar Marut under Rashmi Sharma Telefilms, the mythological series was premiered on January 28, 2020, and was also available for streaming on ZEE5.

When Prabhas silenced negativity with grace—his humble response to KRK's Mohanlal dig won hearts during ‘Baahubali 2' promotions
Back in 2017, while the buzz around ' Baahubali 2 : The Conclusion' was at its peak, an unexpected controversy surfaced—one that dragged Telugu superstar Prabhas into a Twitter storm sparked by self-proclaimed critic KRK. What followed, however, was a moment that revealed Prabhas' grounded nature and deep respect for his fellow actors—especially Malayalam legend Mohanlal . ' Baahubali ' in Kochi: A Press Tour Amid Trolling Storm In April 2017, the cast of Baahubali 2 visited Kochi to promote the magnum opus. Fans had gathered in thousands, eager to see Prabhas, Rana Daggubati, and the team in person. But even as the crowd roared in support, the media had its eyes set on a social media controversy that was already brewing. KRK's Tweet That Sparked Outrage Bollywood actor and Twitter provocateur KRK (Kamaal R. Khan) had mocked Mohanlal, calling him a 'joker' and likening him to Chhota Bheem. This was in response to reports that Mohanlal had been cast as Bhima in a ₹1000 crore adaptation of Mahabharata. KRK went on to say that Prabhas would have been a far better choice for the role. Unsurprisingly, the tweet went viral—for all the wrong reasons. Mohanlal's massive fan base, particularly in Kerala, hit back hard, demanding an apology and slamming KRK for his disrespectful remarks. KRK Backs Down As the backlash grew, KRK issued a public apology, stating that he respected Mohanlal and had no intention to hurt his fans. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like An engineer reveals: One simple trick to get internet without a subscription Techno Mag Learn More Undo But the damage had been done, and the media in Kochi couldn't help but bring up the controversy while speaking to Prabhas. Prabhas Responds with Dignity When asked about the incident, Prabhas handled the question with remarkable poise. He said he was a huge admirer of Mohanlal and emphasized that if the makers of Mahabharata had chosen him to play Bhima, there had to be a strong creative reason. He added that he would love to work with Mohanlal someday, and if ever given a chance to be part of the film—even in a smaller role—he'd happily accept. His words reflected humility, respect, and wisdom. Without taking a single negative shot at KRK, Prabhas managed to win hearts—not just in the room, but across social media platforms. A Moment to Remember While 'Baahubali 2' broke records across the globe, this incident remained a memorable footnote from the film's promotional journey in Kerala. It reminded fans why Prabhas isn't just a screen hero—but someone who carries himself with true dignity off-screen as well. Fans Still Remember That Day… Years later, fans still recall the way Prabhas chose admiration over ego and unity over division. In an industry often marked by rivalries and reactionary statements, this moment stands tall as a lesson in grace under pressure.

Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah's Kush Shah aka Goli calls shooting with Shah Rukh Khan as his favorite memory; recalls 'We Watched a KKR match in his Vanity, he ordered Idli at 4 AM'
Kush Shah , best known for playing Goli, the son of Dr. Haathi in Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah , stepped away from the show last year to pursue higher studies in the USA. His departure was an emotional one, with his co-stars getting teary-eyed on his final day of shooting. Recently, during an appearance on the Just Kidding with Sid podcast, Kush reminisced about one of his favorite behind-the-scenes moments from the show. He fondly recalled Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan 's visit to the set and shared some delightful anecdotes from the experience. Recalling SRK's appearance on TMKOC to promote Happy New Year , Kush shared, "There have been many favourite moments. But one that has been most memorable was working with SRK. I have been lucky to have worked with Shah Rukh Khan. I have been with him thrice and I've worked with other stars also when they visited our show. Shah Rukh was on our set for 12 hours and I'm not kidding. Koi nahi raha itna 12 ghanta, he was on the set. Around 4 am we all were very hungry and Shah Rukh ordered idli from a random Anna. He sent his driver to get idli from local Anna. We sat together and idli and vada. That was my best and crazy memory." He further revealed how they watched KRK's IPL match in Shah Rukh's vanity, "In fact, we sat in his vanity van and watched the KKR match toh ye amazing cheez hai na yaar. I mean who does this. Nothing beats that. The experience was amazing, he came on the show for Happy New Year, Chennai Express and Dilwale. Mazee aagaye." Kush, who quit the show last year after working for 16 years, shared he was never affected by Bollywood celebrities' stardom but he was in awe of SRK's aura. He went on to praise the Jawan actor for his dedication, he revealed, "Whenever celebrities came on the show, I used to have a blast because I was never starstruck. I used to always feel okay, fine they are actors and I never cared. But SRK's aura was very different. He is so diligent at what he does. He knows his lines, your lines and everything that is going to happen in the script. 30 page ki script hai unko ratta hai (he would memorise the entire script). It was a great experience."

MP CM lauds army for Operation Sindoor; says people foiled Pakistan's plan to create communal rift
'Our armed forces have set a new record of destroying terrorist bases in Pakistan, the country's arch enemy, at a fast pace… The drones sent by Pakistan proved to be useless Diwali crackers because our army destroyed them in the air,' he said at the rally. Taking part in the 'Tiranga Yatra' organised by the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party here, he also praised the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi for Operation Sindoor. Indore, May 16 (PTI) Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav on Friday praised the Indian armed forces for a swift destruction of terror bases inside Pakistan, and noted that the people foiled Pakistan's conspiracy to create Hindu-Muslim disputes in India by staying united after the Pahalgam attack. Terrorists killed tourists in Pahalgam after asking about their religion as part of Pakistan's conspiracy to create a divide between Hindus and Muslims in India, but the Indian people stayed united and foiled the plan, the chief minister said. 'Turkey and Azerbaijan have supported Pakistan. Therefore, small shopkeepers and fruit sellers of India are also vowing to boycott these countries,' he noted. With the national flag in their hands, people from different sections of society participated in the 'Tiranga Yatra' procession taken out from Bada Ganpati Square to Rajwada in the city. They were greeted with patriotic slogans along the way. PTI HWP MAS KRK This report is auto-generated from PTI news service. ThePrint holds no responsibility for its content.
