Bobby Deol claims that ‘even at 87,’ Dharmendra works diligently 

Dharmendra
  • Bobby Deol spoke about father-actor Dharmendra and said that even at 87, he continues to work tirelessly.
  • Dharmendra will be seen with Alia Bhatt and Ranveer Singh in Karan Johar’s Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani this year.
  • The veteran actor is also working on Maddock Films’ untitled comedy co-starring Shahid Kapoor and Kriti Sanon.

Speaking about his father-actor Dharmendra, Bobby Deol claimed that he is still doing nonstop work at the age of 87. This year, Dharmendra will appear in Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani, directed by Karan Johar, alongside Alia Bhatt and Ranveer Singh. The seasoned actor is also working on the untitled comedy from Maddock Productions with Shahid Kapoor and Kriti Sanon.

Bobby Deol, who is preparing for the release of Apne 2, which also stars Dharmendra and Sunny Deol, praised his father’s “hard ethic and enthusiasm for performing” and declared himself “in awe” of him. Bobby added that his father has “worked nonstop” since he was just 10 or 12 years old.

In an interview with News18, Bobby Deol said this about Dharmendra: “I’m in awe of my father, who never ceases to astonish me with his work ethic and enthusiasm for performing. He still signs quality films at the age of 87, and witnessing him in action is incredibly motivating. He has been working relentlessly since he was just 10 or 12 years old, and I’ve never seen anyone else with such passion and ambition. It’s truly remarkable to witness this.”

Bobby added, “In my opinion, a father should always be regarded as a father and there are some boundaries that should not be violated,” in response to changes in the father-son connection. The nature of our relationship may change as we age and our parents age as well, and we may become more at ease speaking and expressing ourselves to them.

Bobby had disclosed to Hindustan Times in a 2022 interview that he had missed his father Dharmendra when he was a little child. Throughout Bobby’s childhood, the actor was extremely busy working many shifts at movie sets and studios. Remembering the moment, Bobby had added, “I used to miss having him at home… He occasionally drove me to filming places, but he was always busy. He would be actively working around the clock to create a beautiful kingdom for us. Even on the sets, he would sleep.

Tanya Deol, a fashion designer, is the wife of actor Bobby Deol. Aryaman Deol and Dharam Deol, their two kids, are siblings. Bobby’s final appearance was in Prakash Jha’s online series Aashram’s third season, which was made available in June 2022. His forthcoming projects include Animal and Apne 2.

Hema Malini discusses women’s careers after marriage

Hema Malini
  • Hema Malini responded to a question about women’s careers after marriage.
  • She never stopped working and joked that people may follow her footsteps.
  • Hema also added that the wife has to make sacrifices.

In response to a query on women’s careers after marriage, Hema Malini provided her response. The seasoned actress and politician was questioned about changes that have occurred as a result of women working after marriage today versus in the past during a press conference. In order to illustrate how women are continuing with their jobs after getting married, the reporter who posed the question mentioned the instances of actors Deepika Padukone and Alia Bhatt.

Responding to the query, Hema claimed that she never stopped working and ‘kept working non-stop’ after marriage. She also jokingly suggested that maybe people did indeed follow her. Hema further stated that the wife must make concessions.

Hema remarked, “I won’t respond much to this because I never stopped working; I got married and kept working nonstop. So perhaps I’m being followed by those who saw me. It’s wonderful that the husband should recognize that the woman he married is a really gifted individual who people like seeing.”

She said, “But the woman has to sacrifice a little, being a wife. She cannot promptly produce a child, then you know there is a pause. Hence, why not if you are that age and willing to work. If the producers are willing to sign you for such a sizable sum, that’s fantastic.”

In 1980, Hema and actor Dharmendra got married. Esha Deol and Ahana Deol are their two daughters. While Dharmendra had yet to make his Bollywood debut in 1953, he married Prakash Kaur, his first wife. Sunny Deol, Bobby Deol, Vijeta, and Ajeita are Dharmendra’s children from his first marriage, along with two sons and two girls.

Raja Jani and Seeta Aur Geeta (1972), Sholay (1975), Dream Girl and Kinara (1977), The Burning Train, and Alibaba Aur 40 Chor (1980), among many others, had Dharmendra and Hema as co-stars. In 1963, Hema made her acting debut in the Tamil movie Idhu Sathiyam. She debuted in Sapno Ka Saudagar as the star (1968).

In the years that followed, Hema appeared in a large number of Hindi movies, including Tum Haseen Main Jawaan (1970), Jaaneman (1976), Bandish and Do Aur Do Paanch (1980), Satte Pe Satta (1982), and Apne Apne (1987), among others. Hema last appeared in the 2020 film Shimla Mirchi with Rajkummar Rao and Rakul Preet Singh.

Mumtaz claims she has never had botox but uses fillers when she is “very thin”

Mumtaz
  • Mumtaz is an evergreen beauty icon of Bollywood, admitting to taking fillers and being ‘chirpy’ about it.
  • Mumtaz made her Bollywood debut with the 1958 film Sone Ki Chidiya.
  • She took a break of 13 years and marked her comeback with Aandhiyan.

Mumtaz, a seasoned actor, continues to be the Bollywood industry’s unwavering beauty icon. She recently disclosed her beauty secrets and acknowledged using fillers. She added that she was not well-liked by the “heroines” of her period. She claimed that despite this, she stayed upbeat about it.
At the age of eleven, Mumtaz made her Bollywood debut in the 1958 movie Sone Ki Chidiya. She produced a number of blockbuster movies, many of which featured Rajesh Khanna, who was one of the most well-liked on-screen couples of the 1970s. Later, after a 13-year sabbatical, she made a dramatic comeback with Aandhiyan in 1990 before announcing her retirement from acting.

The 75-year-old performer said that she was treated unfairly by female actors. She told  that she remembered Dev Anand telling her about it and that he advised her to take care of her physique and hair. I should always endeavour to look young, he advised. Age is a bloody number, he muttered to Mumzi. I can still have a boyfriend at 90, he claimed, assuming I look well. He questioned my desire for evidence. Three girls were waiting for him in the other room, and he showed me by opening a door that they were there. However, he was 80 at the time.

“I heed Dev Anand’s counsel. And I heed Akshay Kumar’s recommendation that we avoid eating after 6 o’clock. I sometimes use fillers when I am too thin. However, I would never have botox treatment since, in her words, “Botox feels like someone has inserted seeds into the cheeks on the left side and the right side.”

For the first time ever, Mumtaz was recently spotted in a TV programme. On season 13 of Indian Idol, she made a guest appearance alongside Dharmendra. She continues to be absent from movies though. Mumtaz once responded during a live session to a fan’s question on her comeback to the business, “Bollywood? I have no idea. I’m not sure if I’ll land the kind of part that genuinely speaks to my heart while also being kind and well-liked by others. She said, “First I will have to get my husband’s approval,” as her daughter laughed. He’ll say, “All right, you may do one.” So perhaps I will. In such case, no.

Mumtaz recalls turning down Shammi marriage proposal

Mumtaz
  • Mumtaz appeared on Indian Idol 13 .
  • Talked about how she first responded to Shammi Kapoor’s marriage proposal.
  • She also romanced actor Dharmendra on stage.

On Indian Idol 13, veteran actor Mumtaz made her first-ever television appearance and discussed her reaction to late star Shammi Kapoor’s marriage proposal. Mumtaz also made love to actor Dharmendra on stage in a recent promotional video that Sony Entertainment Television posted on Instagram on Saturday.

Mumtaz danced in the video to the Aap Ki Kasam song Jai Jai Shiv Shankar (1974). In the original song, Mumtaz and Rajesh Khanna were the stars. She also danced to Brahmachari’s Aaj Kal Tere Mere Pyar Ke Charche (1968). Mumtaz and Shammi Kapoor were included in the original song.

She responded, “Unhone plain kaha tha” (He told her directly), after Aditya Narayan had said, “What a jodi (pair) Mumtaz ji and Shammi ji.” Mumtaz said, “17 saal ki thi main. Isliye shaadi nahi ki, mujhe shaadi nahi karna. (I was 17 at the time. Since I didn’t want to get married, I didn’t). But occasionally I do miss him.”

Mumtaz also stated in the video, “Aap puchte the Mumtaz kisse shaadi karegi, main bolti thi Shah of Iran k bete se” (They would inquire about Mumtaz’s intended marriage, and I would respond that she would wed the Shah of Iran’s son). She commented, “Dilip saab ko jaake mara, woh mera first shot tha unke saath (I went and hit Dilip saab, that was my first shot)” when speaking of her first scene with the late actor Dilip Kumar.

Mumtaz referred to Dharmendra by saying, “I loved Dharam.” She also kissed and hugged him. Mumtaz ko dekh k feeling ajati hai (I feel something when I see Mumtaz),” Dharmendra retorted. The seasoned actor blushed at your comment.

In the films Kaajal (1965), Ram Aur Shyam and Chandan Ka Palna (1967), Mere Hamdam Mere Dost (1968), Aadmi Aur Insaan (1969), and Loafer (1970), Mumtaz and Dharmendra appeared together (1973). Only two films with Shammi have featured Mumtaz: Brahmachari and Vallah Kya Baat Hai (1962). (1968).

Mumtaz discussed Shammi’s response to her refusal to get married to him in a previous interview with the Times of India. “However, when I rebuffed him, he began to wonder if I was the heroine he had fallen in love with and that I did not want to marry him. (When I rejected him, he began to question me. He said that I never fell in love with him and that I don’t want to marry him because I want to be a heroine.
