'She couldn't have sex...' Kishore Kumar left Madhubala after doctors said she can't be a mother, 'Woman needs...'
'She couldn't have sex...' Kishore Kumar left Madhubala after doctors said she can't be a mother, 'Woman needs...'
Madhubala, one of Bollywood's most iconic stars, passed away at the age of 36 due to heart condition. Despite her fleeting life, her work and relationships still intrigue fans. The actress was madly in love with Dilip Kumar, but got separated due to her father's alleged interference. Later, Madhubala tied the knot with singer Kishore Kumar in a quite ceremony. Their marriage was believed to be difficult as the couple was grappling with devastating tragedies.
Shortly after their marriage, Kishore took Madhubala to London, for a medical treatment to her heart condition. But, following that, what they came across changed everything about their relationship. According to her sister Madhur Bhushan, the doctors told the actress that she couldn't be a mother, 'We're not saying that he was wrong. Aapa was told by the doctors you cannot have sex, you cannot have children… But yet a woman needs emotional support no matter what,' She said in a conversation with Filmfare.
Bhushan also revealed that Kishore distanced himself from Madhubala during her last days. He left her in a house in Mumbai with only a nurse and driver. He rarely answered her calls or visited her during this challenging time. She said, 'Kishore bhaiyya left her at our home. He said that she was sick and needed care while he had to travel, work, sing and hence wouldn't be able to give her time. He said, I tried my best, I took her to London. But the doctors have said she won't survive. What's my fault?'
In an old interview with FilmFare magazine, Kishore was quoted saying that he was never in love with Madhubala. 'To me, she was my friend Dilip Kumar's girlfriend and I used to act as a messenger for the two. It was she who proposed marriage to me and even insisted on it. Incidentally, even when Ruma was with me Madhu used to joke, 'Never ever leave him, else I would take your place.' He said.
Kishore Kumar and Madhubala's marriage lasted for nine years, until her demise. They collaborated in several evergreen classics such as Chalti Ka Naam Gadi (1958), Jhumroo (1961), Half-Ticket (1962) and others.

Diljit Dosanjh drops all songs of Sardaar Ji on Apple Music ahead of release date
Ahead of the release of Sardaar Ji on June 27, Diljit Dosanjh delighted his fans by releasing the full album of the movie on Apple Music. On June 20, the singer-actor shared on Instagram Story that the album has songs like Sohni Lagdi, Pasoorian and Daaru Mukgi. It also has Chill Mardi and Bahana, along with the title track. The film stars Diljit Dosanjh alongside Neeru Bajwa, Manav Vij, Gulshan Grover, Jasmin Bajwa and Sapna Pabbi. Directed by Amar Hundal, the story follows Diljit's return as a ghostbuster, now called to remove a ghost from a mansion in the UK. The teaser shows a group of armed men being defeated by a spirit, after which Diljit's character is called for help. The scenes are full of humour, including a funny moment where witches ask for a make-up kit and a medical box. In the end, Diljit is seen fighting a ghost and jokingly says it's because the ghost didn't say 'Ji' after calling him 'Sardaar'. Meanwhile, on June 20, Diljit Dosanjh had another OTT release. Detective Sherdil was released on Z5. The murder mystery, wrapped in comedy, has failed to impress many critics. 'There are enough adept actors in this ensemble, led by Dosanjh, for us to expect an engaging whodunit. But the treatment is flat, making the characters even flatter, as they come on to say their lines and disappear into the wings,' according to the Indian Express. Filmfare wrote, 'The film clearly wants to be in conversation with Knives Out. But while Knives Out was a witty deconstruction of Agatha Christie tropes, Detective Sherdil feels more like a parody of a parody.' 'His take on Sherdil is shrill, exhausting, and drenched in gimmick,' Moneycontrol wrote on Diljit's performance. ''Detective Sherdil' tries to be a clever caper but ends up being just a colourful distraction. With a sharper script and smarter humour, it might've worked. But as it stands, this mystery is one you won't mind leaving unsolved,' wrote The Times of India.

India's first horror film left audience in shock, made for Rs 12 lakh, broke all records, film is…, lead actors were…
In an era when grandeur often defined cinematic success, one modestly budgeted film crafted with just Rs 12 lakh emerged as a game-changer. Its unsettling atmosphere, raw storytelling, and psychological intensity created a lasting impression that still lingers in conversations among thrill-seekers and made it Indian Cinema's first horror film. First Horror Film Of India Here we are talking about the 1949 film 'Mahal,' helmed by the legendary Kamal Amrohi, which was not only a blockbuster of its time but also introduced Indian audiences to the themes of mystery and the supernatural. Produced by Bombay Talkies, 'Mahal' was one of the most expensive films of its era, with an estimated budget of around Rs 12 lakh (equal to Rs 12-14 crore as per today), a significant amount for the 1940s. The film featured grand sets, impressive cinematography, and notable stars like Madhubala and Ashok Kumar, making it an ambitious project. Kamal Amrohi crafted the story as a mysterious psychological thriller, a genre that was relatively new to Indian cinema at that time. Stellar Impact Of Mahal On The Box Office 'Mahal' was theatrically released on October 13, 1949. The film quickly gained popularity and, by its third week, became a nationwide sensation. According to the trade site Box Office India, the film was declared a Super Hit. The film grossed around Rs 1.25 crore (Rs 218 crore today) in India, a record for that time. It was noted as the third highest-grossing Hindi film of 1949, following 'Barsaat' and 'Andaz.' As of 2020, 'Mahal' remains one of the top one hundred highest-grossing Indian films in India. 'Mahal' featured Ashok Kumar and Madhubala in the lead roles. Ashok Kumar portrayed a man who visits a mysterious mansion and falls in love with a shadow, represented by Madhubala. Her beauty and acting captivated the audience. The story intertwines themes of love, reincarnation, and mystery, keeping viewers engaged until the end. This cult classic laid the foundation for Indian horror cinema and inspired later films such as 'Bees Saal Baad', 'Gumnaam' and 'Raat .'
