On his arrival in Acharya, Sonu Sood posted a video of fans throwing notes in the theatre

The response of Sonu Sood’s fans to his latest film Acharya, which also stars Chiranjeevi and Ram Charan, has left him speechless. On Saturday, the actor took to social media to share a video of fans showering him with love in a variety of ways. Sonu stated that he believes he does not deserve such love, but that it motivates him to do better.

The video began with a scene from a theatre screening of Acharya, in which fans began hooting and throwing money on the screen as Sonu entered. Behind the swarm of notes that covered the screen, the actor who plays the antagonist Basava could barely be seen. Fans were seen beating drums in front of a large cutout of the actor in the next clip. They draped a large garland around the cutout and poured milk on it before applying a tilak to his forehead. Before bursting firecrackers, they performed an aarti of Sonu’s cutout.

Sonu became teary-eyed as he posted the video to his social media accounts, writing, “Thank you so much to my wonderful fans, whom I proudly refer to as my family, for all you have done for me. I don’t deserve such kindness, but your generosity motivates me to do better. Humbled I adore you all.”

It comes after Sonu revealed that his action scenes in Koratala Siva’s Acharya had to be reworked because Chiranjeevi wasn’t sure if people would accept him getting hit in action scenes. In the film, Sonu’s character Basava is a want tobe-MLA who runs the fictional temple village Dharmasthali through various illegal activities until he is confronted by Chiranjeevi’s Acharya and Ram Charan’s Siddha.

“I feel it is very difficult to see me,” Sonu, who previously stated that he is getting different roles as a result of his philanthropic efforts during and after the coronavirus pandemic, told indianexpress.com (in a negative role). Producers, directors, and writers have all expressed their inability to see or imagine me in a negative role. I recall starting shooting for two films before Covid-19, one of which was Acharya. They had to rework a couple of scenes as well.”

According to a review in the Hindustan Times, Acharya is director Koratala Siva’s “weakest work” and “one of those movies you’d only want to watch because it stars both Chiranjeevi and Ram Charan.” Pooja Hegde and Anurag Kashyap also star in the film.

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.”

Smita Patil and Raj Babbar met on the sets of their 1982 film Bheegi Palkein. Raj left Nadira to marry Smita the following year. Their son, actor Prateik Babbar, was born in November 1986. However, Smita Patil died soon after from childbirth complications at the age of 31. Raj Babbar got back together with Nadira a few years later.

Juhi Babbar made her film debut with Kash Aap Hamare Hote opposite Sonu Nigam in 2003. She worked in a handful of films over the next few years before taking a hiatus to do TV. In 2023, she returned to films with supporting roles in films like Faraaz and Farrey. She is married to actor Anup Soni.
