Priyanka Chopra’s mother Madhu had to persuade her to accept the offer after she ‘was in tears’ upon receiving her first film with Vijay.

At first, Priyanka Chopra hesitated to accept the role of Thamizhan, the 2002 Tamil film in which she starred opposite Vijay. Priyanka’s mother Madhu Chopra talked about how she pushed her “obedient child” to accept the job in a recent interview with Filmygyan.

“Priyanka has consistently been a well-behaved child.”
Priyanka didn’t want to work in films, according to Madhu, who revealed this information. Through someone else, she received the offer for the south Indian movie. Priyanka broke down in tears and stated.

“I am not doing films,” when I told her about the offer. She has, nevertheless, always been a docile youngster. She consented and signed the contract (for Thamizhan) when I persuaded her to accept the offer.”

“Priyanka was unable to initially match Vijay’s steps.”
Madhu went on, “She started to admire the movie when we were filming it. She liked it even if she didn’t speak the language. The personnel was really kind and helpful to her. The movie’s lead, Vijay, is the epitome of a gentleman.

The dancer was Raju Sundaram. Priyanka did alright at the dance, but at first she had trouble matching Vijay’s steps. She would spend the entire day rehearsing with the choreographer. After that, she began to appreciate it. She was also able to develop her character and recognise that she wanted to make a career out of this.”

Future Projects
Following her Miss World 2000 title, Priyanka entered the movie industry and debuted as an actor in Thamizhan (2002). (2003), her debut Bollywood movie, The Hero: Love Story of a Spy, in which Sunny Deol costarred.

Frank E. Flowers, the director of The Bluff, is one of Priyanka’s forthcoming projects. She recently finished filming the action-comedy Heads of State, which stars Jack Quaid, John Cena, and Idris Elba in major parts.

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.”

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.
