Four days prior to the shoot, Tisca Chopra remembers being replaced by “someone younger.”

Tisca Chopra is speaking out about an incident that happened in 2016 when “someone younger” took her position on a project. Tisca said in a recent interview with Galatta Plus that this happened less than a week before the filming was scheduled to begin and that the producer’s decision was communicated to her.

What Tisca mentioned
Tisca said in the interview, “There was a specific director in 2016 who kind of messed with me for a while.” We got to work on everything—preparation, clothes, and lines. He announced they were going with someone younger about four days prior to the shoot. He then attempted to brush it off by claiming that it was the producers’ call. However, I could see that it was only… I no longer desired to hear that.

She continued, saying, “At that point, I also began to realize that there were things happening in my thoughts that I had been ignoring for a while. Working with amazing directors has allowed me to gain knowledge from them by observing their process and imbibing that. If youth and beauty are the only two things that are attractive in a particular market… my insides rebelled against that. If they are interested only in young and beautiful, it’s a very sad world we’re living in.”

Tisca has contributed to several Bollywood movies, including as Dil Toh Baccha Hai Ji, Bioscopewala, Firaaq, and Love Breakups Zindagi. Her performance in Taare Zameen Par, directed by Aamir Khan, won her praise. Moreover, Tisca became a director in 2020 with Rubaru. The actor’s most recent appearance was in the Murder Mubarak Netflix film. The film, a murder mystery, starred Pankaj Tripathi, Sara Ali Khan, Dimple Kapadia, Vijay Varma, Karisma Kapoor, and Sanjay Kapoor among its ensemble cast.

In a candid revelation, actress Tisca Chopra shared her experience of being replaced by a younger actress just four days before a scheduled shoot. She recounted the incident during an interview, expressing her initial shock and the emotional impact it had on her. Chopra emphasized the challenges women face in the film industry, particularly the pressure to maintain a youthful appearance.

Reflecting on the incident, Chopra stated, “I was told that the producers felt the audience would connect better with someone younger. It was a tough pill to swallow, but it also made me more determined to focus on roles that celebrate my age and experience.” She highlighted the importance of self-acceptance and the need for the industry to evolve in its portrayal of women.

This experience led Chopra to advocate for more diverse and age-appropriate roles for women in cinema. She has since been involved in projects that challenge traditional narratives and offer complex characters for women. Chopra’s journey underscores the ongoing conversation about ageism in the entertainment industry and the necessity for change.

At seven o’clock, Raj Babbar’s daughter learnt of his liaison with Smita Patil. “I shouldn’t tell my mother about this.”

At seven o’clock, Raj Babbar’s daughter learnt of his liaison with Smita Patil. “I shouldn’t tell my mother about this.”

Raj Babbar left his wife, Nadira, to marry Smita Patil in 1983. His daughter Juhi Babbar has recalled the time in a new interview.
Actor Raj Babbar was already married and had two children when he began his relationship with fellow actor, Smita Patil. The affair and the ensuing marriage saw a lot of controversy, given how it began. Raj Babbar’s daughter, former actor Juhi Babbar, has now opened up on the time and how she came to know about the relationship when she was just 7 years old.

Juhi Babbar on Raj Babbar and Smita Patil

In an interview with Lehren Retro, Juhi recalled how Smita Patil made a conscious effort to connect with Raj’s two children – Juhi and her brother, Arya. “My father talked and explained his marriage with Smita Patil to me when I was barely seven years old, and that’s why my memories of Smita ji are very different. She went out of her way to do things for me. I think she also had this thing that we are the kids of the person who is most special to her, and so we are special to her as well. She would show us a lot of love, always bringing us gifts when she travelled, and she would ensure that at home, we were served the food that we liked. These small memories are nice, but unfortunately, there aren’t many memories,” she said.

Juhi said she was conflicted about her impression of Smita at the time because the actor was always nice to us, but she could see that the marriage had shaken up her own family, particularly her mother, Nadira. “As a child, I knew this is the lady my father wants to be with, and he wants to make her his wife. I could see Smita making an effort towards me and my little brother, but I also knew that this was disturbing the unit that used to be, and that my mother was unhappy about it. I had that understanding—that aunty (Smita) was being so good to me, but when I go home, I shouldn’t share this with my mother.”
