Jasmin Bhasin's LOL Reply To Troll Accusing Her Of Getting Lip Injections: "Injection Nahi Filter"
New Delhi: Jasmine Bhasin, who is currently starring in the Prime Video's reality series The Traitors, recently fired back at a troll who accused her of getting upper lip injections. It all started when the actress shared a video of herself lip-syncing to the song Intaha Ho Gai Intezar Ki from the 1984 film Sharaabi on Instagram. While the video got a lot of love from her fans, a social media user passed a comment on Jasmine's lips, writing, 'Jasmin ne upper lips mein injection lagaya hai (Jasmin took lip injections on her upper lip)'. Not the one to let the baseless rumours slide, Jasmine responded to the troll with a comment of her own and wrote, 'Injection nahi filter", followed by a laughing emoji. Watch the video here: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Jasmine Bhasin (@jasminbhasin2806) Earlier, Jasmine Bhasin made a strong statement against those who comment on actors' cosmetic surgeries. In an interview with Hindustan Times, the actress said, "As actors, you always want to look your best. Why would anyone want to look bad? The kind of profession we are in, we always want to look good, we always groom ourselves." She added, "One of the most important aspects of being an actor is that we want to look good, we don't want to look bad. We have put in a lot of effort.' Talking about how trolls can be 'insensitive', Jasmine said, 'At times, things don't go right or things happen naturally to the human body. You are bloated, you have hormonal issues, and we are always going through something in life. So you are constantly under pressure, and if things don't go well, then trolling them and putting it right in your face is a little insensitive.' On the work front, Jasmine Bhasin was last seen in the Punjabi film Badnaam with Jayy Randhawa. Her reality series The Traitors is currently streaming on Prime Video.

This actress once dreamt of Amitabh Bachchan's accident, next day Big B got hospitalised due to..., her name was…
Amitabh Bachchan's near-fatal accident during the filming of his blockbuster movie Coolie remains one of the most discussed events in cinematic history. Currently, a fresh narrative regarding Amitabh Bachchan's Coolie mishap is gaining traction. Years back, on the birthday of Late Smita Patil, Amitabh Bachchan remembered how she had a sense of foreboding before his life-threatening accident. Amitabh Bachchan was filming Coolie in Bangalore when Smita Patil unexpectedly rang him at 2 am. When Smita Patil Called Big B The actor recalled and said, 'I was in Bangalore filming for Coolie.' Deep in the night, at approximately 2 am, I got a call in my hotel room. The receptionist told me that Smita Patil was on the phone. I was stunned since I had never conversed or communicated with her during that period. Believing it would be significant, I replied.' Big B further said, 'Smita inquired whether I was okay and in good health.' I replied affirmatively, and she mentioned that she had a troubling dream about me, which was why she called so late at night. 'The following day, I encountered my mishap,' The Incident That Shook the Entire Industry The following day, on July 26, 1982, Amitabh Bachchan suffered significant injuries while filming a combat sequence with actor Puneet Issar. In the scene, Puneet Issar was meant to hit Amitabh Bachchan in the stomach, but as Big B miscalculated his leap, he fell onto a table. As a result of this accident, his condition turned critical. He was promptly taken to Breach Candy Hospital, where he had multiple surgeries. Supporters nationwide offered prayers for his healing. Amitabh Bachchan's injury was so severe that he was pronounced clinically dead for several minutes before being placed on a ventilator. Reports indicate that former Prime Minister Late Rajiv Gandhi called off a visit to the United States to stay with him. At that time, Amitabh Bachchan was given 60 bottles of blood from 200 donors, and one donor tested positive for the Hepatitis B virus. Bachchan healed from the accident but learned in 2000 that the virus had caused cirrhosis of the liver, harming roughly 75% of his liver. Bachchan later shared his experience to promote awareness of the Hepatitis B vaccine. Despite the severe injury, the legendary actor made an impressive recovery and returned to filming on 7 January 1983. More About Smita Patil Smita Patil, often regarded as one of greatest and finest actresses in the history of Indian cinema, appeared in over 80 films in her short career. During this period, she featured with Amitabh Bachchan in notable films like Namak Halaal, Sharaabi, Shakti, Ghulaami and Pet Pyaar Aur Paap. Smita Patil tragically died at 31 due to childbirth complications.

When Ranjeet REVEALED the truth behind the 1970s Bollywood's parties; Said Rajesh Khana would drink 1-2 two bottles and 'no one turned up for a 10 am shoot'
Veteran Bollywood actor Ranjeet, a name synonymous with iconic villainous roles of the 70s and 80s, once opened up about a side of his life far removed from the scheming characters he portrayed on screen. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now In one of his conversation with ANI, the actor reflected on the golden era of Hindi cinema, revealing how his Juhu residence became an unexpected hub of nightly revelry and camaraderie for some of the industry's most celebrated figures. Bollywood's parties in the 70s' Though he built his career playing hard-drinking, cigarette-smoking antagonists, Ranjeet made an interesting revelation that he has never touched alcohol himself. Despite being a lifelong teetotaler, his doors were always open to friends and colleagues in the industry. His home, centrally situated in Mumbai's Juhu neighborhood, turned into a beloved gathering spot where formalities were cast aside and friendships flourished over food, laughter and late-night chatter. Ranjeet shared, 'My parents were based in Delhi and I was living alone in Juhu, so naturally, everyone began to drop by in the evenings. There was no need for invitations—people just came over.' The guest list at Ranjeet's parties in the 70s' These nightly sessions weren't limited to male actors. He fondly remembered the presence of popular female stars like Reena Roy, Moushumi Chatterjee, Parveen Babi and Neetu Kapoor. Each of them, he said, added their personal touch to these get-togethers, Reena would prepare paranthas, Parveen mixed the drinks, Moushumi delighted guests with fish dishes, while Neetu made her signature bhindi. The guest list read like a who's who of classic Bollywood, Sunil Dutt, Dharmendra, Raaj Kumar, Feroz Khan, Sanjay Khan and Shatrughan Sinha were frequent visitors. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Ranjeet recalled how the legendary Rajesh Khanna was known for indulging in heavy drinking, reportedly downing one or two bottles in a single evening. Yet Ranjeet himself stayed away from alcohol, embracing the role of a warm, grounded host. 'A home that welcomes people with love is a home blessed by the gods,' he mused, explaining that his belief in hospitality came from a deep sense of gratitude and abundance. 'No one turned up for a 10 am shoot on time." He added that the relaxed and nocturnal lifestyle of the film fraternity often meant shooting schedules were pushed to the afternoon. 'No one turned up for a 10 am shoot on time. They'd show up after lunch,' he laughed. This prompted Ranjeet to take on several projects at once, maximizing productivity while his co-stars ran on their own clocks. With a prolific filmography featuring cult classics like 'Dharmatma,' 'Namak Halaal,' 'Lawaris' and 'Sharaabi,' Ranjeet's legacy in Indian cinema is already well cemented. But beyond the silver screen, his Juhu home stood as a quiet epicenter of Bollywood's most cherished memories—ones marked by generosity, spontaneity and an enduring sense of togetherness.
