When Ridhi Dogra Was Asked If She Wanted To Attend SRK's Om Shanti Om Premiere
Last Updated: Ridhi Dogra recalled her memorable experience at the Om Shanti Om premiere, which was a whirlwind of emotions, with Deepika Padukone's debut making a lasting impression. Can a single night change the course of your life? For Ridhi Dogra, crashing the grand Om Shanti Om bash was a moment that would stay with her forever. Long before she became a household name, the Jawan actress had a brush with Bollywood glamour that was both unexpected and unforgettable. In a recent interview, Ridhi opened up about her daring move and the memories that lingered. In a candid conversation with Curly Tales, Ridhi Dogra took a trip down memory lane, recalling her early days at Zoom Television, where she was still navigating the media landscape. Film journalist Omar Qureshi, a senior colleague, would often receive invites to A-list film screenings and events, and he'd generously offer Ridhi and her peers a chance to tag along. 'He asked us who wanted to attend screenings for Saawariya or Om Shanti Om, and I jumped at the chance to watch Om Shanti Om," Ridhi reminisced, a smile still playing on her lips as she recounted the thrill of rubbing shoulders with Bollywood's elite. But little did Ridhi know, she was about to walk into a star-studded event. As she entered Yash Raj Studios, she was swept into a whirlwind of glamour and excitement, unaware that she was about to witness one of Bollywood's most epic premieres. 'I had no idea what I was getting into. I thought I was just going to watch a film, but the entire film industry was there," she revealed, still in awe of the magnitude of the event. She further revealed that the event was attended by many big names, including legends like Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan, as well as talented divas such as Rani Mukerji, Priyanka Chopra and Kareena Kapoor. And then, of course, there were the stars of the show: Shah Rukh Khan and debutant Deepika Padukone, alongside veteran icon Rekha. 'I was completely starstruck. I felt out of place and overwhelmed. Deepika was so shy – it was her first film, and I was feeling like I didn't belong. Back then, we didn't take selfies with stars, and you couldn't just stare; there was a sense of reverence and shyness that added to the magic of the night," she confessed. On the professional front, Ridhi Dogra was recently seen in the JioHotstar series Kull, which began streaming on May 2. First Published: June 19, 2025, 13:40 IST

Made in Rs 45 crore, this film launched two star kids, was a box office disaster, earned just Rs..., lead actor was 'glad' movie flopped as... In 2007, Ranbir Kapoor, son of legendary actors Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Kapoor and grandson of Raj Kapoor made his Bollywood debut with Saawariya . He was paired opposite the evergreen Anil Kapoor's daughter Sonam Kapoor. While the film saw an ensemble cast, it still failed to impress masses and critics, turning out to be a significant box office disaster. Based on Fyodor Dostoevsky's 1848 short story White Nights, the movie revolves around the love story of Ranbir Raj (Ranbir Kapoor) and Sakina (Sonam Kapoor). Raj, a wandering musician fells in love with Sakina, a beautiful Muslim girl. However, when he tries to confess his feelings, Sakina rejects his proposal and tells him that she loves Imaan (Salman Khan) who has promised to return. Besides Ranbir, Sonam and Salman, the movie also features Rani Mukerji as Gulabi. Saawariya also marked the last appearance of both Zohra Sehgal and Begum Para before their demises. Made in a budget of Rs 45 crore, the film earned a modest Rs 39.22 crore. At the time, Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Saawariya faced a box office clash with Farah Khan's directorial Om Shanti Om, starring Shah Rukh Khan and debuting Deepika Padukone. Both the films released around Diwali, and within two days itself, it was clear that Saawariya had failed quite miserably. Hence, Om Shanti Om outperformed SLB's romantic drama, earning Rs 152 crore worldwide. Years later, when Ranbir Kapoor was asked about the failure of his debut film Saawariya, the actor said to Nikhil Kamath, 'In hindsight, I'm glad it didn't do well because that really prepared me for the life ahead.'

This is how Arjun Rampal prepared for his role Rauf in 'Rana Naidu 2'
Mumbai: Actor Arjun Rampal has been garnering a lot of attention for his portrayal as Rauf in the second season of the beloved web series, "Rana Naidu". However, did you know that Rampal needed some push before saying yes to the project? Recalling the incident, the 'Om Shanti Om' actor said, 'I was skeptical at first. I wanted to understand the character's journey and arc. Karan made me feel very, very comfortable. Then I binge-watched Season 1. The writing, the performances, the emotional undercurrents—it all just clicked.' It was the creative interaction with the creators of the show - Karan Anshuman, Suparn Verma, and Abhay Chopra that changed things for Rampal. Sharing the essence of Rauf, the 'Rock On!!' actor said, 'Rauf's not your typical bad guy. He makes you think he's a good guy and then he terrifies you.' Once he signed the dotted line, Rampal left no stone unturned to make his character more convincing on screen. Tapping into some real-life experiences, he learned about a few chilling anecdotes from gangsters. 'Some of the stuff I've heard is wild. One guy told me he hid in a morgue for a week to avoid getting caught. It sounds absurd, but that's the point—the underworld isn't just dark, it's bizarre," Rampal remembered. On Friday, Rampal recalled how the team of "Rana Naidu 2" spent nine hours at his home two years ago, leading him to be a part of the show. Taking to his Instagram account, he dropped a BTS clip featuring him and others from the drama. The video was accompanied by a note that read, 'Dear team Rana Naidu, it's Friday the 13th June 2025. We are in people's homes from today. I just want to take this moment to Thank you the whole Rana Naidu family, who 2 years ago came into my home and took 9hrs of my life, leaving me pondering, that I would love to do something like that. It was like from my mouth to Gods ears.' "Rana Naidu 2" premiered on Netflix on June 13.

‘Deepika Padukone had no idea about JNU politics': Vivek Agnihotri recalls her 2020 visit, says her PR misled her
Back in 2020, just days before the release of her film 'Chhapaak', Deepika Padukone made a surprise visit to the Jawaharlal Nehru University ( JNU ) in Delhi. She stood in silence to support students who were protesting after a violent attack by goons on campus. Although she didn't speak at the protest, the 'Piku' actress' quiet presence created buzz across the country. Many praised her bold move, while others blamed her for mixing politics with film promotions. This silent political gesture became a major talking point and, according to many, affected the film's box office numbers. 'Deepika had no idea about JNU politics' In a new interview with Shubhankar Mishra, filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri spoke about the incident. He said Deepika probably didn't understand the political nature of her actions and was wrongly advised by her PR team. 'I can guarantee that Deepika had no idea about JNU politics when she went there,' he said. According to him, no political act goes without backlash, and the whole plan might have been a misjudgement. When asked if he was calling Deepika 'dumb', he quickly clarified, 'It's not about being dumb. Her PR must've told her that this is a good opportunity to promote her film, because the university is associated with politics, and the film is also political. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trading CFD dengan Teknologi dan Kecepatan Lebih Baik IC Markets Mendaftar Undo If she had known, she wouldn't have come.' 'You play with fire, you get burned' Agnihotri also said that the ' Padmaavat ' actress is still dealing with the backlash from that one moment. 'You play with fire, you get burned,' he added. Despite his criticism, he also described the 'Om Shanti Om' actress as smart and intelligent. 'I don't know her personally, so I don't know what ideology she aligns with. I do know that she is a very smart and intelligent woman. Had she known that this is a politically sensitive place and that it might impact her career, she would've definitely not gone.' 'Her PR thought it was an event' Agnihotri went on to say that during film promotions, actors are pulled in many directions. He believes Deepika was simply following advice that didn't turn out well. 'During film promotions, there are too many voices telling stars what to do and who to speak to. Her PR was mistaken; they thought it was an event. But it wasn't an event. Bigger fish than her have been fried for getting involved in politics,' he said. Deepika Padukone launches badminton school to celebrate father's legacy on his 70th birthday
