Image
The romantic musical drama Bewafaa (2005) completed 21 years on February 25. It had an ensemble star cast, comprising Akshay Kumar, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Anil Kapoor, Manoj Bajpayee, Sushmita Sen and Shamita Shetty and is remembered for its hit soundtrack, touching moments etc. In an interview with Bharathi S Pradhan, the talented director Dharmesh Darshan opened up like never before on the behind-the-scenes happenings. When Bharathi S Pradhan remarked that Bewafaa gave a déjà vu of B R Chopra’s Gumrah (1963), starring Ashok Kumar, Sunil Dutt, Mala Sinha and Nirupa Roy, Dharmesh Darshan confessed, “Yes, in the first half.” He also revealed, “ Bewafaa had some problems.

Actress Trisha Krishnan has responded strongly to remarks made by filmmaker-actor R. Parthiban during a recent award ceremony, after his comments about her began circulating widely on social media. Without naming him directly in her post, the actress shared a pointed statement on X (formerly Twitter), addressing what she described as an unwarranted public remark made during the event. Taking to the platform, Trisha wrote, “I was informed by the organisers of a recent event that my name and picture were included at the last minute at the request of an individual conveyed through his assistant.

A microphone doesn’t make a comment i...
