Pratibha Ranta opens up on going home in Shimla after 2.5 years and Laapataa Ladies success
The last time Pratibha Ranta was in her hometown Shimla, Himachal Pradesh, she was an actor in search of recognition. Last month, she returned to her home after two-and-a-half-years, and she admits the whole perception towards her of the city had changed, courtesy her breakthrough role in Laapataa Ladies (2024) and the success that followed. Pratibha Ranta 'When I left Shimla five years ago, I had this realisation that I will be going for a long time and I won't be able to come back that frequently. But when I came back, the love that I received from the city and its people, it was very beautiful. When I went to the Mall Road, people were recognising me and appreciating me. I get recognised now in other places too, but when people in your hometown do that, it is an indescribable feeling as I saw the dream of making it in the industry at that same place,' Pratibha Ranta says. Ask her what was she missing the most from home while in Mumbai and pat comes the reply, 'I was missing the food of Himachal Pradesh. I couldn't eat the Pahadi food in Mumbai much because the climate doesn't support that. So when I returned, I ate all those things that I couldn't in Mumbai like Siddu, ghee, other milk products and Pahadi cuisine.' She adds, 'The day I came back, my dadi made bedmi roti for me. When I went to my village, I was treated with a dish called Poldu, then my nani fed me daal chawal. Every place that I visited, I was greeted with traditional ghar ka khana and I enjoyed it to the fullest.' Pratibha was most happy about getting to share her success with her family at their own home. 'When I sat with them and saw them enjoying my success, it motivated me to do more. But when I go home, I don't get any special treatment, I am their daughter only, and I like that,' she gushes. Being away from home and family can take a toll on a person mentally, but for Pratibha, it was her family's constant support that kept her sane and strong. 'When your family's support is with you, you don't feel that distance and I have been blessed to get that support from my family. When you live in a big city like Mumbai, some low moments are inevitable, but you have to tell yourself that you have chosen this lifestyle for yourself and you have to brave them through. You have to focus on the good things in your life, cherish them and then celebrate it with your family. Thus it took me this long to return and this was the best vacation of my life,' she insists.

Curry quarrel: Police reunite couple at ‘war'
Nagpur: In a heart-warming intervention, Nagpur police turned Cupid to reunite a distressed couple, preventing a potential tragedy in Mhalgi Nagar on July 5. An argument over the taste of curry led the couple, Pratibha and Rohit Madavi, to take drastic steps. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The incident unfolded when officers spotted Pratibha wandering aimlessly with her baby girl near Mhalgi Nagar at night. The cops, who were engaged in rescuing roadside wanderers under 'Operation Mukti', decided to intervene and take her to the police station. Pratibha, originally from Balaghat, Madhya Pradesh, struggled to provide details about her Nagpur residence, posing a challenge for the officers. Under the leadership of senior inspector Dnyaneshwar Bhedodkar of Hudkeshwar Police Station, the team drove her through various localities, determined to locate her home. Upon reaching Pipla Phata, Pratibha could recall the road towards her makeshift labour camp where she stayed with her husband. The cops went inside the house and were shocked to find a suicide note penned by her husband, Rohit, who was also untraceable. Rohit, a construction labourer, migrated to Nagpur a few months earlier. He summoned Pratibha a few days ago, and they stayed in a makeshift labour camp at Pipla Phata. The couple's argument erupted when Rohit disapproved of the curry Pratibha prepared. Enraged, both left their home on separate paths, with Pratibha wandering aimlessly and Rohit contemplating a tragic step. Rohit left home after borrowing a neighbour's cellphone. He requested the neighbour to alert him if Pratibha returned while contemplating ending his life by suicide. The cops called Rohit on the cellphone and summoned him back. Senior PI Bhedodkar and his team's timely efforts not only averted a tragedy but also restored harmony between the couple. "We had to counsel the couple and urged them to stay together happily for the sake of the child," said Bhedodkar. The couple, now reunited, expressed gratitude to the police for their sensitivity and commitment, proving that even small disputes can be resolved with care and understanding.

Remember 'Pardesi Pardesi Jaana Nahi' girl? She became overnight sensation, left acting after falling in love with..., she looks unrecognisable now
Aamir Khan and Karisma Kapoor's superhit film Raja Hindustani, released in 1996, was the biggest box office success of that year and became one of the highest-grossing films of the 1990s. While Aamir and Karisma played the lead roles, one actress who truly stole the limelight with the song ' Pardesi Pardesi Jaana Nahi' was Pratibha Sinha. Though she appeared in just that one song, it was enough for her to be nicknamed the 'Pardesi Girl.' Pratibha went on to act in several other films, but her career never reached the heights of her mother, veteran actress Mala Sinha. Pratibha Sinha's father, Chidambaram Prasad Lohani, passed away in 2024, while her mother, Mala Sinha, who needs no introduction, is still with her daughter. Let's take a look at the films Pratibha Sinha has worked in, and find out where she is and what she's doing these days. How was Pratibha Sinha's film career? Pratibha Sinha's mother Mala Sinha was active in films, so Pratibha was inclined towards the film world since childhood. At the age of 22, Pratibha made her Bollywood debut with Sujoy Mukherjee's film Mehboob Mere Mehboob (1992). After this, Pratibha worked in about 20 to 25 films including 'Dil Hai Betaab', 'Deewana-Mastana', 'Tu Chor Main Sipahi', 'Gudgudi', 'Kal Ki Awaaz', 'Mrityuraaj' and 'Ek Tha Raja'. When Pratibha entered Bollywood in the 90s, she was considered a competitor of Madhuri Dixit, but her career ended in a few years. Why did Pratibha Sinha leave acting? Pratibha Sinha's film career did not last long. She fell in love with famous music director, Nadeem Saifi and reportedly sacrificed her acting career. For those who don't know, Nadeem Saifi is one of the most famous music directors in the history of Indian cinema. His duo with Shravan Kumar Rathod is considered among the most successful duos in the Indian music industry. Derived by the name 'Nadeem-Shravan', they ruled the industry from the 1990s to the 2000s. Pratibha and Nadeem came closer while working together in the films, Kal Ki Awaz and Raja Hindustani . Pratibha Sinha looks like this now: However, Pratibha's mother was against her relationship with Nadeem. Mala sent Pratibha to Chennai. However, even after going to Chennai, they continued their relationship and started planning to get married. As per a report in Jansatta, Pratibha boldly stated in an old interview that she wanted to marry Saifi. However, their relationship took an unusual turn when her mother and she organised a press conference in Mumbai, in which the latter accused Nadeem Saifi of kidnapping and rape. A few years later, Nadeem Saifi opened up about the accusations of rape and kidnapping made by Pratibha. He said Mala Sinha played with him by publicly making false accusations against him. The music director added that Mala and Pratibha wanted publicity, so they tarnished his image with false allegations.

'I'm excited to be back in Hyderabad for a show,' says Pratibha, who last performed in the city two years ago. After Hyderabad, Dastaan-E-Ghazal heads to Pune on June 28, with a similar set list and the addition of a few Marathi songs. 'The city does influence the selection,' says Pratibha. 'Hyderabad has a rich musical culture, so we curate accordingly.' Known for her versatility across ghazals, thumris and Bollywood playback, Pratibha says, 'I don't try too hard — I just connect to the emotion of the song and give it what it needs.' Up next, she is collaborating with the Vienna Symphony on a ghazal album. Pratibha Singh Baghel performs as part of Dastaan-E-Ghazal at Shilapakala Vedika on June 21; 7 pm onwards
