‘Meri Kundali mein doosri shaadi…', Govinda fell for THIS actress despite being married to Sunita, then…, her name was…, not Madhuri Dixit, Neelam Kothari
Many stars in Bollywood have captured the admiration of fans in a brief period. One among them was a renowned face from the industry. She was regarded as a symbol and was the top-earning actress of her era. Her aura was so powerful that individuals would lose their minds over her. Her delightful grin and twinkling eyes drove her admirers crazy. Bollywood's Finest Actress…
Here we are talking about actress Divya Bharti, best known for hits like Vishwatma, Shola Aur Shabnam, Deewana, and Balwan. By early 1993, Divya's success was at its zenith and she was reportedly charging over Rs 50 lakh per film. Govinda, who was paired opposite the actress in their blockbuster film, Shola Aur Shabnam, was truly fond of her beauty. Once shared an interesting anecdote related to the actress.
In an old conversation with Stardust, Govinda talked about his affection for the beautiful Divya Bharti while he was married to Sunita. The actor then revealed that he was attracted to Divya. He said, 'Well, I am a firm believer in destiny. What is meant to happen will happen. Yes, I like Juhi a lot. Divya Bharti too. Divya is extremely attractive and any man can get attracted to her. I know Sunita will be very upset with all this, but she should know that I am still protecting myself from Divya's charm.'
During that period, Govinda was the star actor of the 90s. His name was linked with many actresses then, including Divya Bharti, Madhuri Dixit, Karishma Kapoor, Rambha, Neelam Kothari and many others. In the same conversation, he talked about the possibility of his second marriage amid reports of him and Divya dating. He had said, 'Tomorrow, who knows, I may get married again. Sunita should be ready for it. Only then will I feel free. And second marriage is in my Kundali.' Govinda, Divya and…
Very few people know that it was Govinda who introduced Divya Bharti to renowned producer Sajid Nadiadwala. Divya and Sajid first met each other when Divya was working with Govinda in the film Shola Aur Shabnam. Sajid, who was working with Govinda in the film Zulm Ki Hukumat, went to meet Govinda. He then introduced Sajid to Divya and both fell in love at first sight as he was impressed by Divya's beauty. Both became friends, later they realized that they had feelings for each other. Soon they got married in a private ceremony on May 10, 1992.

Patna (Bihar) [India], June 21 (ANI): Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Chaudhary on Saturday took a dig at the Rashtriya Janata Dal leader Tejashwi Yadav, drawing parallels between the fodder scam and the iconic Bollywood film 'Deewar' starring Amitabh Bachchan. There is a famous dialogue in the film, where Amitabh Bachchan confronts with Shashi Kapoor, with the harsh reality of their father's criminal past - 'Mera baap chor hai,' the Bihar DY CM draws similarities with Tejashwi's father Lalu Prasad Yadav. Samrat Chaudhary highlighted the iconic dialogue, 'mera baap chor hai' (my father is thief) is written in the hands of Amitabh Bachchan. He said Tejashwi Yadav will also have to write the same phrase on his hands. 'Fodder was stolen in Bihar. There is a film of Amitabh Bachchan in which 'mera baap chor hai' is written on his hand. Tejashwi Yadav will also have to write the same', Samrat Chowdhary said. Lalu Prasad Yadav was convicted by a special CBI court in 2017. Former Bihar Chief Minister and Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Prasad Yadav was found guilty of illegal withdrawals of Rs 139.35 crore from the Doranda treasury by a special CBI court in Jharkhand's Ranchi. The 900-crore fodder scam cases first cropped up in 1996 and charge-sheet was filed against Lalu Yadav by CBI in 1997. The trial began in 2002 in the special CBI court at Ranchi. In 2013, he was convicted in the 1st fodder scam case and sentenced to 5 years imprisonment along with Rs 25 lakh fine. In 2017, the CBI court had convicted Lalu Yadav and 15 others and the current one is for the 2nd of six fodder scam cases. The 2nd case pertains to embezzling of about Rs 89 lakh from the Deoghar Treasury in the 1991-94 period. Significantly, Lalu Yadav and 7 others were sentenced with 3.5 years imprisonment along with a fine of 5 lakhs each.

'Today, more than 176 countries have accepted this yoga. This yoga makes the body pure and healthy, connects humanity. Yoga always transmits positive energy. Those who are mentally ill can also become healthy through yoga, demonic tendencies can be eliminated... These people (Lalu Yadav, Tejashwi Yadav) try to create an atmosphere of making Bihar unhealthy. Such people are mentally ill', Vijay Sinha told ANI. Earlier today, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday took part in the 11th International Day of Yoga celebrations, where he hailed yoga as a gift 'beyond age' that transcends all boundaries and unites humanity in 'health and harmony.'

Friends, I am truly delighted that we are gathered here in Visakhapatnam, a city that beautifully blends nature with progress.
