Ye bandi kis muh se dusro par comment karti he. Still cannot forget how she called Radhika Apte horse like on KWK. She is so abusive and regressive. Itne is par case hue but kuchh nahi. She and Shanoo sharma set the worst examples of powerful women (or person) in my opinion.

Just randomly saw it on IG & she was in the field a long time starring with Ranveer Singh dayum 💅👠✨

Pehchaano kon 👀...Sara looks the same but the other two look unrecognizable in this pic. And this pic isnt even that old lol

Really shocked watching this video if I was that bouncer I would've beat the shit out of person who pulled her like that

Went down a bit of a rabbit hole and discovered that Good Business Lab (Sonam’s BIL—Anant Ahuja’s pet project) ran an RCT with USAID money to help migrant garment workers at Shahi feel “less isolated.” Because obviously, the real problem at India’s biggest sweatshop isn’t the brutal hours, lack of dignity of labor, union-busting, or poverty wages—it’s that workers don’t have enough friends at the factory! 😭😭😭😭😭😭

Can’t wait for Sonam Kapoor to drop pseudo-woke wisdom on how “research-backed” exploitation is the future of fashion.

So I watched this video called “The Dark Side of Bollywood PR” by YBP Filmy, and honestly, it made me think differently about how we see some of the biggest stars in the industry—especially the three Khans, Alia Bhatt, Amitabh Bachchan, Akshay Kumar, etc. (IF YOU WANT ONLY ABOUT THIS TOPIC, YOU CAN START WATCHING IT FROM 9 MINUTES AND 30 SECONDS).

PR nowadays is all about carefully crafting an image—sometimes even rewriting public memory. Take Shah Rukh Khan, for instance. Everyone loves him for his charm and wit, but a lot of the behind-the-scenes narratives—like his struggles in his school when lot of political people had studied in the same place, his comebacks, even his controversies with PC—are handled so smoothly by PR that the focus always remains on his “king” persona.

Salman Khan’s case is even more layered. Despite his legal issues and controversies,run and hit, black buck, his PR machinery has worked overtime to keep the focus on his “Being Human” charity work and mass appeal. The way his image has been preserved says a lot about the power of good PR.

Aamir Khan, meanwhile, is always seen as the “intellectual” or the “perfectionist,” right? That’s not an accident. His choices, his rare public appearances, even the timing of his statements—it’s all part of a bigger strategy to keep that image clean and thoughtful. (Like spitting on actresses hand)

Then there’s Alia Bhatt. She’s incredibly talented, no doubt. But the video points out how PR has played a major role in constantly highlighting her “girl next door” and “natural performer” image—while brushing off things like nepotism debates or any career dips like sadak 2 ,shandaar and heart of stone. It’s like her team always keeps the spotlight on her acting chops and down-to-earth persona.

Another really interesting part of the video was when it touched on Amitabh Bachchan. His story honestly stands out—not just because he’s a legend, but because his image has gone through such a dramatic transformation over the decades. Back in the day, Bachchan went through a rough patch—financially and reputation-wise. There were controversies (like Rekha, Amrita singh, Praveen Babi and some b grade movies like boom in 2003), political ties that didn’t go down well, and a general sense that his golden era might be over. But then, something shifted. Suddenly, he was seen as this dignified, elder statesman of the industry. The angry young man turned into the wise old figure people deeply respected.

Akshay Kumar’s PR, on the other hand, leans heavily into patriotism and social responsibility. You’ll notice how he’s always associated with national holidays, social causes, and “message-driven” cinema. The video suggests this isn’t just coincidence—it’s a well-planned narrative to align his brand with values people look up to and avoid talking about his past where he used to give an engagement ring to his co actresses. This was revealed by the actresses in the magazines itself back in the day.

What really hit me was how this all shows that Bollywood isn’t just about talent or success. It’s also about how well your story is told—and who’s telling it. It made me more aware of how much of what we believe about celebrities is managed, polished, and sometimes even manipulated.

Let’s be real—today’s audience has zero patience for mediocrity, no matter how many designer lehengas or gym pap walks are involved. The “but she’s Sridevi’s daughter” card expired about five films ago. Janhvi Kapoor still can’t act her way out of a paper bag, and yet producers keep pushing her like she’s the next Meryl Streep. Spoiler alert: she's not.

Then there's Ananya Panday, whose film choices are as questionable as her understanding of nepotism. Shanaya Kapoor hasn’t even debuted yet and already feels like a PR burnout. And don’t get me started on Agastya Nanda—nepotism and zero screen presence in one pretty little package.

Even Karan Johar, the original nepo dealer, is learning the hard way. His recent films with nepo leads are tanking faster than you can say “launch vehicle.” At this point, Dharma should just open a daycare for starkids instead of making movies.

Audiences want talent. They want fresh stories. Not another legacy kid trying to emote like a cardboard cutout. The era of “but they’re from a film family!” is officially dead.

Keep launching nepo kids, Bollywood. We’ll keep skipping.

I recently watched Main Khiladi tu anari for the first time and the chemistry was so good that they could have been the main romantic couple in the movie. I remembered Akshay telling on kwk how people thought they were gay and then low and behold I find out there's whole edits and fanfiction written on these two. Kinda crazy!

This got scary for a sec, people need to know their boundaries...
