Anusha Dandekar Reacts To Bigg Boss Rumours: 'Never Stepping In That House'
Last Updated: Anusha Dandekar denies joining Bigg Boss Season 19, stating she was never contacted. She prefers her current work and teases a new project. With every new season of Bigg Boss, there are a few things you can count on like drama, unexpected evictions, and rumours about Anusha Dandekar joining the show. Every year, her name comes up as a potential contestant and Season 19 is no exception. But once again, Anusha is setting the record straight. 'Honestly, I have no idea why my name keeps coming up!" she tells News18 Showsha exclusively, when asked why speculation around her participation refuses to die down. 'I've made it very clear that I'm never going into that house. I should be getting paid by them for all the free promo I've been giving without ever stepping in!" So, have the makers ever actually reached out? 'Never. Not even a call. I think they know I'll slip out midway!" she laughs again. 'But really, if they're going to keep using my name for attention, I deserve a cheque at this point." That sounds like a hard no from Anusha, and she confirms it: 'Yup. It's just a personal choice. I think people who do that show are incredibly brave. But, me? Not interested. It's not my thing." What about other reality shows — something like Khatron Ke Khiladi, perhaps? 'They've asked, yeah. But again, not something I want to do. I love what I do already, and I just want to keep doing that." So while Bigg Boss fans might have to finally put those rumours to rest, there's still more coming from Anusha. 'I can't say yet… but you'll see me soon!" she teases. Anusha Dandekar makes a comeback to screens with Hunter Season 2, where she steps into the shoes of a full-blown action hero. The series, led by Suniel Shetty, takes the stakes higher this time around. Anusha Dandekar is an Indian-Australian MTV VJ, actress and singer, who is best known as a VJ and a host who has hosted several shows. She moved to Mumbai in 2002 at the age of 19 to pursue a career in entertainment. She began as an anchor on MTV's House of Style and went on to host shows like MTV Dance Crew, Teen Diva, News, and Love School. In 2008, she won the Cosmopolitan Fun Fearless Female Award for Best VJ.

When Madhuri Dixit Called Sanjay Dutt Her "Favourite Partner" And He Said "I Love You" To Her Ignoring Others Around
Sanjay Dutt's life unfolded like a saga of highs and lows few could imagine. Born to screen legends Sunil Dutt and Nargis, his childhood was marked by hardship, followed by his mother's long battle with cancer and his own long struggle with addiction. By the late 1980s, as his career finally gained momentum, tragedy struck again. His wife, Richa Sharma, was diagnosed with cancer. After a series of surgeries, Richa went into remission. But during this fragile period, Sanjay and Richa's marriage was also unravelling. Enter Madhuri Dixit. Sanjay's '90s resurgence began with Thanedaar (1990), where Madhuri starred as his leading lady. The film is best remembered for the chartbuster Tamma Tamma, featuring Dutt, a non-dancer, trying to keep pace with the dancing diva. Apart from Thanedaar, Sanjay had previously worked with Madhuri Dixit in Khatron Ke Khiladi and Kanoon Apna Apna. Both had signed more films together, such as Sahibaan and Mahaanta, and were spending a fair bit of time together. Soon rumours of a romance between them started doing the rounds in Mumbai. When Saajan became a blockbuster, their chemistry was widely credited for its success. This was when Sanjay's love life is said to have taken a very interesting, scandalous turn. Madhuri was signed as his leading lady in Khalnayak. While the stories about his association with Madhuri may not have been good for his already floundering marriage, their on-screen partnership would give Sanjay the best phase of his career. In 2023, during a special screening celebrating 30 years of Khalnayak, Subhash Ghai turned towards Sanjay Dutt and playfully teased him, "Yeh bolta tha, yeh picture bohot door tak jaayegi par dekhta tha Madhuri ki taraf". Taken aback, Sanjay laughed quietly, choosing silence over a reply. More than Saajan's success or Sanjay's rising stardom, it was the Sanjay-Madhuri story that dominated film magazine pages. Despite their denials, tabloids brimmed with innuendo and speculation. The media even hinted that Sanjay planned to divorce Richa. By 1992, while shooting Khalnayak, the film press openly labelled them a couple. Their fondness was clear, and Madhuri, at least, made no effort to hide it. She once told an interviewer, "My favourite partner is Sanjay Dutt, he's a real joker... And his stories make me laugh all the time, but he is also a gentleman". To another interviewer, she said, "Sanju is a fantastic person. He has a loving heart and, in contrast to the widely held view, a good sense of humour. He is the only guy who makes me laugh all the time. He does not play games. He is open and uncomplicated." But Madhuri didn't say much more than this to the press. Insiders believed their relationship was serious, with whispers of a wedding. Filmfare did a cover story titled "Madhuri to Marry?", which hinted that Madhuri was planning to get married in 1994 - it didn't say to whom - and that she would leave the film business after her wedding. In the same story, it was reported that Sanjay and Madhuri had grown close during the Mysore (now Mysuru) schedule of Sahibaan (1993) and that "Sanjay played Prince Charming to the hilt". Midway through the schedule the location was shifted to the picturesque hills in Manali. According to Sahibaan's director Ramesh Talwar, "He [Sanjay] was always following Madhuri around and whispering 'I love you', totally ignoring the fact that there were others around." Though Richa seemed to want to work things out, Sanjay filed for divorce in early 1993. Sanjay and Madhuri's last film together in the 1990s was Mahaanta (1997). The two shared the screen 22 years later in 2019's Kalank.
