Aruna Irani breaks silence on her bond with sister Bindu, reveals she always kept her distance because...
She may be known for lighting up the screen in over 500 films, but behind Aruna Irani's iconic performances lies a story few ever heard — until now. In a recent interview, the veteran actress peeled back the curtain on a past marked by distance, debt, and deep-rooted family disconnects. Aruna revealed that despite sharing bloodlines with fellow actress Bindu, the two never shared warmth. 'Bindu is my cousin — her father was my step-grandmother's son. But we never really bonded. Our families never mixed,' she shared. The distance wasn't just emotional — it was economical too. 'My mother often had no money,' Aruna said candidly. 'She used to borrow Rs 30 or Rs 50 from Bindu's mother or my aunt Jyoti just so we wouldn't sleep hungry. I was the one sent to ask for it.' The financial strain not only fractured family ties but also left lasting emotional marks. Despite both actresses working in the same industry, they never collaborated onscreen — a silence shaped more by circumstance than choice. Aruna's honesty is as raw as it is rare — a glimpse into the real toll of trying to make it big in a glittering world that often hides its cracks. She also admitted that some family members, including Bindu's father, director Nanu Bhai Desai, distanced themselves from her family due to their financial instability. At the height of her stardom, Aruna Irani found herself entangled in rumours of an affair with a married actor — whispers that not only strained their bond but also cast a shadow over her career. Years later, she set the record straight, calling him a mentor and insisting they were nothing more than 'good friends'. On the work front, Aruna Irani's career spans generations and genres. From Bobby, Caravan, and Bombay to Goa, to hits like Suhag, Raja Babu, Beta, and Judaai — she defined the quintessential character actress. Most recently, she was seen in Kesari Veer (2025), playing the role of Charan Jagdamba alongside Suniel Shetty, Vivek Oberoi, and Sooraj Pancholi. A woman who played every role with perfection — turns out, her most powerful performance was off-screen, holding it all together when even Rs 30 was hard to come by.

Amitabh Bachchan was not superstar even after super success of Zanjeer, this actor was bigger than him in 70s, name is..., not Rajesh Khanna
Amitabh Bachchan is the star of superstars. The actor has contributed to Indian cinema for five decades and has given several superhit films such as Sholay, Suhag, Deewar, Don, and Muqaddar Ka Sikandar.

In a recent conversation on Bharti Singh and Harsh Limbachiyaa's podcast, director Sajid Khan opened up about the biggest superstar of the 70s. He said it was not Amitabh Bachchan but another famous actor who ruled the screens. He claims that it was Dharmendra who had more popularity compared to Bachchan during the 70s. Amitabh Bachchan was not a Superstar When Bharti asked Sajid who was known as the biggest superstar of the 70s, Harsh raised his eyebrows and quickly took Amitabh Bachchan's name. However, to both Bharti and Harsh's surprise, Sajid Khan said, 'If anyone was considered a blockbuster hero in the 70s, it was Dharmendra sahab at the box office.' Talking about Amitabh Bachchan's career, Sajid said, 'Amitabh Bachchan's stardom started in 1978, with Muqaddar Ka Sikandar.' The director continued and revealed that before that, Amitabh Bachchan was a star, not a superstar. On this, Harsh said that Bachchan was considered a star after Sholay, and Sajid immediately corrected him, saying, 'He became a star after Sholay. He did not become a star even after Zanjeer.' About Dharmendra Also called the He-Man of Bollywood, Dharmendra made his debut in the year 1960 with Dil Bhi Tera Hum Bhi Tere. Over the next few years, he became a part of hit projects such as Phool Aur Patthar, Anupama, Bandini, Aya Sawan Jhoom Ke, and more.
