Meet woman, who is relative of India's richest actress Juhi Chawla, was once removed from movies due to..., her name is...
Juhi Chawla is one of the most well-known faces in Bollywood. Not just that, she is also the richest actress in Bollywood, as per the report by the Hurun Rich List 2024. Though the actress came from a background where no one was part of the industry, Juhi made a name for herself. Today, she is a prominent actress in Bollywood. However, do you know that Juhi's sister-in-law is also an actress? As beautiful as Juhi, her sister-in-law Madhoo Shah is a well-known Indian actress who has worked across Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada cinema. She stepped into Bollywood in 1991 with the action-romance blockbuster Phool Aur Kaante, opposite Ajay Devgn. Just a year later, Madhoo shot to fame with the Tamil romantic thriller Roja, where she starred alongside Arvind Swamy. Over the years, Madhoo became a household name in the industry. However, many people don't know that Madhoo shares a close relationship with Hema Malini — she is her cousin — and her father was a producer. In an interview, Madhoo revealed she had to face several challenges despite coming from a background of artists. While speaking to Bollywood Bubble, Madhoo shared, 'My father was a producer. I am from Hema Malini's family; she is my cousin. My mother was a dancer. My whole background was around dance, music, and films. But whatever I did, I did it myself. First of all, it was a struggle that I had to tell my father that I wanted to become an actor, because he wanted me to become a doctor. Second, I did not have support, and I did not have confidence. I felt that if I told people that I wanted to become an actor, people would laugh. I had to get out of self-doubt. I did not even know how to approach someone for work. All this was a big struggle for me. First of all, I got rejection.' She added, 'My father was a producer, so he had a film Awaargi, which had Anil Kapoor, Govinda, and Meenakshi. I had gone for the song recording of that film. When a producer saw me there, he told my father that he wanted to cast me in a film. But my father got angry about it. But then I told my father to say yes. Then he got me trained. But when the film started, after four days only, he felt that I was not ready, and I was replaced.' When Madhoo came to know about her replacement, her heart broke. However, she did not lose hope and turned out to be one of the most well-known actresses of the '90s.

Drug ban in Malayalam movie industry: Kerala producers make new rule compulsory in film contracts, claims report
In a decisive move to curb drug use in the Malayalam film industry , the Kerala Film Producers Association (KFPA) has announced that all cast and crew members will soon be required to sign a mandatory 'no drugs' affidavit along with their remuneration contract, as per a OnManorama report. The implementation of this rule is scheduled for June 26, coinciding with the International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking. Affidavit to Cover Both Sets and Accommodations According to the report, the affidavit is intended to prevent drug consumption not only on shooting sets but also at accommodations arranged for filming purposes. Anyone signing the agreement will be held accountable if they violate its terms. In such cases, the individual will be expected to compensate the producer for any financial losses incurred due to their actions. The decision comes as part of a broader effort by the KFPA, headed by Anto Joseph, to address the growing concerns about drug abuse within the film industry. According to reports, the new rule will apply to everyone involved in the production process, from actors to technicians and other crew members. Consultation With Industry Bodies To ensure broader industry support, the producers' association has submitted a draft of the affidavit to the Film Employees Federation of Kerala (FEFKA) and the Association of Malayalam Movie Artists (AMMA). FEFKA has reportedly agreed to the proposal, while AMMA is currently reviewing the plan and is expected to announce its decision following a general body meeting. The producers have requested AMMA to share its response by June 24. Background of Rising Drug-Related Incidents The move follows a series of drug-related controversies that have rocked the Malayalam film industry in recent months. In April, actor Shine Tom Chacko was arrested for alleged drug use, with reports claiming he fled a hotel during a police attempt to detain him. Actress Vincy Aloshious also alleged that he misbehaved with her on set while under the influence. The Association of Malayalam Movie Artists subsequently took disciplinary action against him. Other incidents include the arrests of directors Khalid Rahman and Ashraf Hamza for drug possession, and claims by producer Haseeb Malabar that actor Sreenath Bhasi had asked for cannabis during a film shoot. In May, actress-producer Sandra Thomas alleged that some producers were even allocating funds to procure drugs for actors during production. This isn't the first time the Malayalam film industry has faced backlash over substance abuse. In 2023, FEFKA and KFPA imposed a temporary ban on actors Shane Nigam and Sreenath Bhasi due to drug-related misconduct on sets. The ban was lifted after they offered public apologies. The affidavit initiative marks the most formal and industry-wide attempt to address the issue so far. If successfully implemented, the requirement may set a precedent for other regional film industries to adopt similar preventive measures.
