    While talking about Bollywood A-listers, the only thing that comes to mind is that these are some of the most successful, superhit-producing actors of the Hindi film industry. However, the reality couldnât be more different.
    While itâs true that they have a lot of blockbusters to their name, many Bollywood A-listers also have some of the worst performing films to their credit as well. Here are 8 such top Bollywood actors who have also given some of the most negatively reviewed movies in Bollywood. 
    Based on IMDB ratings of 3.5 and below, here are 8 A-listers who made it to the list.
    1. Akshay Kumar © UTV Motion Pictures
    Akshay Kumar, who is hailed as the âKhiladiâ of Bollywood also happens to be one of the leading Bollywood actors with one of the worst Bollywood films to his credit. Akshayâs Tees Maar Khan starring Katrina Kaif made the audience cry tears of blood given how shitty the plot and the concept was.

    2. Hrithik Roshan © Emkay Films
    After Hrithikâs debut Kaho Na Pyaar Hai did wonders at the box office, Vikram Bhatt must have thought the star jodi would recreate the charm with Aap Mujhe Ache Lagne Lage. However, he was up for some major disappointment because the film tanked and how!

    3. Ajay Devgn © Eros International
    Who would have imagined Ajay Devgn would top the list with the MOST number of negatively reviewed Bollywood movies? Well, as the facts have it, three of Ajayâs films, namely Himmatwala, Ram Gopal Varma Ki Aag and Rascals happen to be some of the biggest flops of Ajayâs career.

    4. Salman Khan © Salman Khan Films
    Although we totally agree that Race 3 deserves to grace this list for being the most ridiculous and sham of a film, it turns out that isnât the biggest flop of Salmanâs career. As per the ratings, 

    Me & Mrs Khanna, starring Kareena Kapoor Khan, is one of Salmanâs worst performing films ever.
    5. Saif Ali Khan © Fox Star Studios
    2013 hadnât really been a very bad year for Saif on the professional front. With four movie releases that year, including Race 2, we wonder why on earth he decided to settle for Humshakals. Experimenting is fine, but the combo of crass humour and slapstick comedy in this stupid film surely did no good to him.

    6. Priyanka Chopra © Baweja Movies
    There is no forgetting this mega failure of a film titled Love Story 2050. Starring PeeCee and Harman Baweja, this movie was such a tragedy, we bet Priyanka wouldnât mind erasing this âfuturisticâ romance flick from the face of the earth. We personally wouldnât mind that either.

    7. Ranveer Singh © Yash Raj Films
    Rated 2.4, Gunday probably doesnât even deserve a rating of more than 1.5 rotten eggs. Right from Ranveer and Arjunâs oiled bodies throughout the film, to the shitty screenplay and Arjun Kapoorâs ridiculous acting, this one definitely deserves to be on the list.

    8. Tiger Shroff © Balaji Motion Pictures
    Tiger has two flop movies to his name on this list - Munna Michael and Flying Jatt. Letâs not even get to the acting part because come on, weâre talking about Tiger here and he has no relation to acting whatsoever. Whatâs even more disappointing (for him) is that even his kicks and punches couldnât save the show.

    Bollywood actors have time and again surprised us with their brilliant acting skills but it's not just acting that make them so well-established in the industry. These actors are multi-talented and have proven their prowess in a lot of other fields for example direction, production and in some cases, even writing a film as well. Here's a list of actors who actually turned scriptwriters for movies and showed us that talent has no bounds.
    1. The Girl In Yellow Boots By Kalki KoechlinA movie that was highly acclaimed in Toronto and Venice Film Festivals, Kalki had turned scriptwriter for That Girl In Yellow Boots. Even though the movie failed to strike a chord with the audience, her dexterity with acting was highly lauded. 

    2. Satte Pe Satta By Kader KhanKnown for his exemplary comedy back in the 90s, Kader Khan had not just tickled our funny bone but also had a hidden talent of writing good scripts. He penned down the storyline, not for one but many movies that include Coolie, Toofan, Agneepath, Yaarana, Mahguru and a few others.

    3. Ghayal Once Again By Sunny DeolSunny Deol's Ghayal was a massive success in 1990 but the actor came back with another hit Ghayal Once Again, where he wasn't just an actor or the director of the film but he also indulged himself into writing the whole plot with the help of other writers for the movie. That's what we call multi-talented!

    4. Mukkabaaz by Vineet Kumar SinghActor Vineet Kumar Singh impressed us with his stellar acting in Ugly and Gangs Of Wasseypur. But he didn't limit his skills to just that and took to writing for Anurag Kashyap's movie, Mukkabaaz. He was also the lead actor and this sports action movie was quite well-received.

    5. Shahenshah By Jaya BachchanNot many people know this but Shahenshah was the reason why Amitabh Bachchan's career soared high and it got back the lost fame, courtesy his wife Jaya Bachchan, who was the scriptwriter for Shahenshah. The screenplay though was later done by Inder Raj Anand. 

    6. Love Per Square Foot By Sumeet Vyas Owing to his popularity with TVF's Permanent Roommates, Sumeet Vyas has now become a well-known face even in Bollywood. Besides his comic riffs in the series, the actor has time and again shown a keen interest in writing. He actually went ahead and penned down season 2 of TVF Tripling. Not just that, he has also co-written Vicky Kaushal's movie called Love Per Square Foot which was launched on a digital platform.

    This yearâs much-awaited film Dil Bechara will become one of the most-loved films for more than one reason - the most important one being, this would be late actor Sushant Singh Rajputâs last film. Unfortunately, after this one, we wonât get to see the 34-year-old actor on big-screens anymore. Helmed by Mukesh Chhabra, Dil Bechara is a perfect mix of a talented, experienced ensemble cast and crew together with a well-written, multi-layered story and AR Rahman's music track, that would instantly hit the right chord with the viewers. 
    âJab baat Dil ki ho, then let everyone know.â#KizzieAurManny is now #DilBechara@foxstarhindi @sanjanasanghi96 @CastingChhabra pic.twitter.com/T3aqfsbYZ0
    â Sushant Singh Rajput (@itsSSR) February 8, 2019
    The filmâs premise revolves around a love story between two teenagers who suffer from cancer. Here we have listed out six reasons why you should watch Sushantâs yet-to-be released Dil Bechara:
    1. Sushant Singh Rajputâs Last FilmAs we mentioned earlier, Dil Bechara will be marked as Sushantâs last film as his sudden and tragic passing has left people across the country and the Bollywood industry completely in shock. Sushant was only 34 years old when he took this drastic step of ending his life. Reports suggest that he was suffering from depression over the years. This film would be nothing but an ode to the talented actor that we have lost too soon. 
    âIâ am just âyouâ away from Glory. #selfmusing ï¸ pic.twitter.com/Q5vZb4VCGq
    â Sushant Singh Rajput (@itsSSR) August 19, 2018
    2. Storyline Will Take You Through Roller-Coaster Of EmotionsThereâs no doubt that itâs an epic romance story. But let me warn you - you're going to cry. Just accept that now. Not only because of the hard-hitting narrative, but seeing Sushant playing a role that only screams - hope & positivity, will make us miss him more as we watch him. Youâll not only be engrossed in the film till the end, it will also make you think about how life is precious. Also, there's no time like the summer to indulge in a sweeping love story, right? 
    3. Based On Critically & Commercially Successful NovelDil Bechara is a coming-of-age romantic drama which is based on renowned American author John Green's 2012 novel The Fault in Our Stars. The novel is his sixth solo and quite interestingly, the novelâs title is inspired by Act 1, Scene 2 of Shakespeare's most popular play Julius Caesar, in which the nobleman Cassius says to Brutus: "The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, / But in ourselves, that we are underlings."  The novel was a massive hit and in 2014, it was made into an American romantic drama film directed by Josh Boone in the same name. That film was a commercial success.
    4. Ensemble CastHelmed by Mukesh Chhabra, Dil Bechara marks his directorial debut and apart from Sushant Singh Rajput, the film also features debutante Sanjana Sanghi and Saif Ali Khan in pivotal roles. Although,  Saif makes a guest appearance in the film.
    5. AR Rahman MusicARRâs name itself is enough to make one excited about the upcoming songs. Academy Award-winning music composer AR Rahman has been roped in to score music for this most-awaited film. In one of his media interviews earlier, he said, "When I heard the narration of their Indian adaptation of The Fault in Our Stars and especially how music is so beautifully woven into the narrative, I got quite excited." 
    Produced by Fox Star Studios, the filmâs release got delayed several times earlier due to post-production delays and recently, due to the nationwide coronavirus lockdown. It was supposed to be released on May 8 but now, as per the reports, the film will be released directly on OTT platforms soon. The release date hasnât been announced yet.
    Besides, according to news reports, the filmâs director was also suspended from his services after getting allegedly accused of sexual harassment in October 2018. However, eventually he returned after receiving a clean chit from ICC on the allegations. This perhaps also added to the filmâs delay. 
    Dil Becharaâs lead actor opposite Sushant, Sanjana recently took to her social media account to share an emotional message about her co-actor.

    â Rofl Vickky (@vickkydirector3) June 14, 2020 The film was previously titled Kizie Aur Manny. Meanwhile, fans of Sushant are now demanding the film to be released in theatres as a tribute to the actor, however, if the film will have a digital release or not, is yet to be seen.
    Wont this be injustice to @itsSSR if movie is released on OTT instead of multiplex. Kind Request @foxstarhindi @foxstarmedia @CastingChhabra to release movie on big screen as a small tribute from humanity !!!! #SushantSinghRajput #DilBechara pic.twitter.com/jmZcIdxPrM
    â Sourabh (@Sourabh13620284) June 17, 2020the urge that i have to watch dil bechara and clap on every scene sushant deliver and then sob too is just weird and unreal.

    give #DilBecharaOnBigScreen for us to celebrate his brilliance together one last time.
    â Anjali (@Anji17_) June 17, 2020i truly do hope that dil bechara is released on the big screen. letâs do this for sushant. letâs pay his hard work, commitment, wisdom and intellect the ode it deserves. he deserves the best of the best goodbyes. #DilBecharaOnBigScreen
    â dee. (@dipikashansi) June 17, 2020I hope it gets released in theatres instead of OTT....we all deserve to see Sushant one last time on celluloid #DilBechara #SushanthSinghRajput https://t.co/R8TfnqH4zT
    â aaditya ××××××× (@aadibdl) June 17, 2020Moreover, Saif in one of his earlier interviews, speaking about working with Sushant, said, âHe was very nice to me and he said he wanted to come and have a drink and talk about various things, which never happened, which I feel bad about. Maybe I could have, you know, helped in some way or not⦠I donât know. But after working with him, I quite liked him because he was nice.â The film was largely shot in Jamshedpur, Jharkhand and few portions were also  filmed across Paris, France.

    Following the highly-tensed developments that took place at the border between the Indian and the Chinese soldiers that resulted in the loss of lives, a lot of people have come out to show their support. 

    #BoycottChineseProducts is currently trending on Twitter and people are sharing how they're supporting the movement by getting rid of Chinese products they own.
    We also stumbled upon a video in which a group of people can be seen flinging a Chinese-made TV from their balcony to the ground. This incident is said to have taken place in Surat. 
    Here, check out the video -
    सà¥à¤°à¤¤ :

    â Janak Dave (@dave_janak) June 17, 2020
    We're not entirely sure about the exact manufacturer of the TV, but it's said to be a Chinese brand. You can also hear these people chanting Bharat Mata Ki Jai as they swarm in to destroy what's left of the TV on the ground. 
    It's one thing to uninstall apps from your phones and a completely different thing to smash products that are made by the Chinese people. It's quite an intense visual, to say the least. However, it's also quite funny how some of them were dancing on the TV just to be a part of the video.  
    While some people think it's the right thing to do, others believe that things are getting way out of hand now. We're seeing mixed reactions to this particular incident. 
    Yeah, this makes sense. 
    Aage se mat Lena Chinese ... Abhi kyu Tod rahe ho
    â Quarantined Engineer 2.0 (@iamkumar001) June 17, 2020 Again, a valid point.

    â Suchitra Vijayan (@suchitrav) June 17, 2020 Amidst all of this, Prime Minister Narendra Modi also spoke on the matter today. "I would like to assure the nation that the sacrifice of our jawans will not be in vain. For us, the unity and sovereignty of the country is the most important...India wants peace but it is capable to give a befitting reply if instigated," he said. 
    Earlier today, we also learned about the list of apps that were deemed as not safe for use by the Indian Intelligence agencies. 
    This whole anti-China sentiment seems to have reached its peak and it remains to be seen what comes after this.

    There is an intangible characteristic of space and watching the stars that has attracted humans for ages. The grandeur, the magnificence and the sense that we are just a speck of dust in the grand scheme of things - all of this is overpowering, humbling, and yet, as humans, we cannot help but be drawn towards it.

    © EarthSky (dot) Org
    The more weâre reading about Sushant Singh Rajput, and what a gem of human being he was, the more we are looking deeper into our own selves and souls. One of the things that has caught the public eye was Sushantâs love for astrophysics, the night sky, and astronomy.

    © Twitter/itsssr
    This got us thinking about the time, we as kids would often look up to the sky and wonder what our thing around us meant. Unfortunately, the urban spaces we occupy make it damn nearly impossible to enjoy just how beautiful the night sky can be. Fortunately, though, there are many places in India where we can watch the night unravel its secrets, in all its majestic glory.

    © BCCL
    We pick just a handful of places in India from where stargazers, amateur astronomers and space enthusiasts can have a good hard look at the night sky, without any natural or manmade things to obstruct the view.

    1. Rann Of Kutch, Gujarat © Gujarat Tourism
    Hands down, one of the most easily accessible places in the world to just sit back and look at just how beautiful and mesmerising the night sky can be. The best bit about Kutch is that it stays the same almost all through the year, and you really donât need any specialised equipment to look at the stars. Although, if you really want to look at deep space, a portable telescope might come in handy.

    2. Neil Island, Andaman & Nicobar © Incredible India
    Because of its distance from mainland India, a lot of islands from the Andaman and Nicobar cluster are great places for a mesmerising view of the sky. However, none come close to the grandeur that Neil Island provides. Do keep in mind though the island is a little difficult to get to, so youâll need to plan your journey accordingly. But trust us the experience is totally worth it.

    3. Coorg, Karnataka © Karnataka Tourism
    Coorg is anyway one of the best tourist destinations in India that somehow has managed to stay uncorrupted or vile. During the day, there are tons and tons of places to see around the town. However, once the sun sets, does the place reveal its secrets. If youâre lucky, you may even get to see a part of the Milly Way Galaxy. DO keep in mind though, that during monsoons, it rains quite heavily in the area. On such days, your chances of stargazing are minimal. However, again, if youâre lucky enough and the clouds clear up, the night sky on such days is as crisp as it can get.

    4. Spiti, Himachal Pradesh © Caters News
    Spiti is genuinely one of the most breathtaking places you can visit in India. Although there are a number of ways to get there, we suggest you drive up there from Chandigarh. The night sky is phenomenally beautiful, and something that people often donât even think about when they think of Spiti. But once you see it, the view and the splendour stays with you.

    5. Katao, Sikkim © Sikkim Tourism
    Getting to Katao is certainly not easy. However, the place is totally worth it. The place has some amazing trekking routes and camping spots around. The night sky, in particular, is majestic. You also get to see a different part of the Milky Way Galaxy. Seriously, this is one of the most hauntingly beautiful places to observe the sky from.

    6. Lake Shirota, MaharashtraIf youâre living in and around Mumbai, and cannot actually find the time to get to most of the places on this list, Lake Shirota is your best bet. After Kutch, Lake Shirota is hands down the best place to just sitback and look at the sky. Again, if youâre just going to look at the stars, you donât need any special equipment. If you want to look into the deep space, well carry a telescope. The best thing about Lake Shirota is that it is easily accessible and just perfect for an eveningâs trip from both, Mumbai & Pune.

    7. Hanle, Ladakh © Reddit/r/nightraiders
    Finally, we have Hanle in Ladakh. We seriously donât need to tell why you should visit the place if youâre really into astronomy. Just consider this - the Indian Astronomical Observatory is located here. The only issue is the travelling up to Hanle - it isnât an easy drive, and, for a better part of the year, the roads to Ladakh and Leh are out of bounds. Visibility is great throughout the year though. Do keep in mind the tension along the border, if youâre planning a trip.

    As the border tensions between India and China begin to intensify, Indian Intelligence Agencies have asked the government to block or advise people to stop using several Chinese mobile applications. The list of apps given by the agencies includes 52 apps in total.
    The apps mentioned on the list are apparently not safe and have extracted a large amount of data outside India. The same has been confirmed by the people familiar with the matter.

    Reportedly, a senior government official also noted that these recommendations were also backed by the National Security Council Secretariat, which felt these could be detrimental to India's security. An official explained that the parameters and the risks attached to each mobile app will have to be examined one by one.

    This, by the way, isn't the first time we're being alerted about a security concern w.r.t Chinese apps. 
    Back in April, the Home Ministry had issued an advisory on the use of Zoom on the recommendation of the national security agency. The service was deemed unsafe by other countries like Taiwan the US too.

    After Sushant's Singh Rajput's death, the conversation around the dark side of Bollywood industry where nepotism plays a major role has been escalated, which has turned into a nasty debate on all the social media platforms.
    © MensXP
    Having said that, an abetment case has been filed against major Bollywood influencers like Ekta Kapoor, Salman Khan, Karan Johar, Aditya Chopra etc in Bihar's Muzaffarpur by advocate Sudhir Kumar Ojha.

    He took to Twitter and wrote âIn the complaint, I have alleged that Sushant Singh Rajput was removed from around seven films and some of his films were not released. Such a situation was created which forced him to take the extreme step,â The case is filed under Sections 306, 109, 504 & 506 of IPC, added the advocate.
    I have filed a case against 8 people including Karan Johar, Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Salman Khan & Ekta Kapoor under Sections 306, 109, 504 & 506 of IPC in connection with actor Sushant Singh Rajput's suicide case in a court in Muzaffarpur, Bihar: Advocate Sudhir Kumar Ojha pic.twitter.com/9jNdqvXVKr
    â ANI (@ANI) June 17, 2020
    Before Sushant made it big in Bollywood, he worked as a television actor in Pavitra Rishta which was produced by Ekta Kapoor. This serial was a turning point of Sushant's life.   
    After being accused of these allegations, Ekta Kapoor didn't hold back and responded stat to it by saying âThanku for the case for not casting sushi....when Actually I LAUNCHED HIM. Iâm beyond upset at how convoluted theories can b! Pls@let family n frns mourn in peace! Truth shall@prevail. CANNOT BELIEVE THIS!!!!!â
    (2) Balaji Telefilms
    His post-mortem report stated that the actor was indeed suffering from depression and the reason mentioned for the same was 'professional rivalry'.
    People didn't even spare Karan Johar after he posted a condolence message on Twitter. Tweets started pouring, where a lot of netizens were furious and showed how some Bollywood celebs mocked Sushant during Koffee with Karan.
    Speaking of Salman Khan, tweets related to nepotism and boycotting Salman's films also became a topic of conversation. While some were in support of the actor, claiming that it isn't his mistake, others were just looking for justice for SSR.
    All of these things have led to a lot of turmoil in the industry but the people are in full support of this act and have responded to the advocate's tweet. Check it out.

    As I struggle to pen down an 'appropriate opening statement' for the obituary of Sushant Singh Rajput, given the sheer suddenness of the calamitous news of his demise, a part of me cannot help but wonder, and perhaps regret, the fact that while interviewing him a few months ago, while I had the chance, I did not ask him the most important question.
    I am sure no other publication did either, for that matter. I should have asked him: "Sushant, are you okay?"
    But perhaps as a journalist, that would be crossing a line, as questions like these, as an unsaid rule, should be reserved for 'best friends', and 'people close to you'. However, as the headlines flashed the news of his death, I could not help but feel complicit. Who knows, perhaps he still would be around, if he had someone, anyone, to ask him that?
    © MensXP
    But perhaps he even did? He was a super successful Bollywood A-lister who was at the zenith of his career, so it would perhaps be wrong to speculate that he didn't have help, or that he needed help and did not reach out for it - the latter even more, as it somehow renders him culpable.
    As heartbroken fans and acquaintances ask: "Why did he do this?" and "How could he do this?", they must remember that even though their anguish is justified, perhaps treating him as the one 'responsible for his own death' - simply because he was responsible for the manifestation of it - is not justified, even though it comes from a place of pain.
    © MensXP
    That is the thing about mental health - it's a slippery slope, mired in the obscure uniqueness of the person's individuality. There is no single pattern that suicides follow, which can always be recognized and stopped. There sometimes just are no explanations or 'signs' to recognize.
    It can be especially bewildering, when it concerns someone as intelligent and bright as Sushant Singh Rajput.
    What many people don't know, is the fact that Sushant was one of the most intelligent people around, in the most literal sense. He had an exceptionally high IQ, and was academically so bright, that his presence in a film set instead of a science lab, would perhaps make for a nerdy little inside joke that he himself would laugh at, while practicing for a 'masala' dance number.
    © MensXP
    Though an engineering drop out, Sushant did tick all the check-boxes of a textbook achiever, academically - right from securing an all-India rank of 7 in one of the most prestigious engineering entrance exams, to being the winner of a National Physics Olympiad. Perhaps this knowledge would help contextualize his super intellectual and borderline nerdy posts on Instagram that went often beyond the understanding of 'regular' fans.
    A casual look at his Instagram profile would be enough to notice that his mind was like a swirling pool of ideas, bubbling with unique concepts related to the arts, sciences, and space - something that he took a keen interest in. Interestingly, his last post, just like Irrfan Khan's last words, was a poignant ode to his late mother. Perhaps when it's time for us to go, we all have a way of remembering where we came from?
    © MensXP
    Sushant was unlike any other celebrity around. An out and out self-made man who followed his heart, he was much more than your average A-lister whose world consisted only of the glam and glitz that Bollywood is about. He was a man who wanted to really 'live' and 'experience everything'. How else do you explain a bucket list that not only contains relatable items such as 'own a Lamborghini' and 'travel through Europe by train', but also boasts of pointers that are 'borderline bonkers' from a normie-POV, such as 'finish reading the entire Resnick Halliday Physics book' to 'teach coding to the visually impaired'?
    He used to call that his 'list of dreams', and used to devote every single day of his life trying to materialize them, with the tenacity and fascination of a toddler trying to fashion a sandcastle, dangerously close to the waves.

    While a particular quote of the super hit movie that he appeared in last, Chhicchore, will invariably do the rounds all over today, because of its ironic relatability with his suicide, I don't quite agree with the context in this case. The quote is:
    "Success ke baad ka plan sabke paas hai ... lekin agar galti se fail ho gaye ... toh failure se kaise deal karna hai ... koi baat hi nahi karna chahta..."
    While we need to pay heed to what it tries to convey, and implement it in our daily lives in matters related to our friends and family, we must remember that 'failure' is not always responsible for mental health issues. Sushant was anything but a failure. He was successful - to a degree where most people, and a lot of other celebs, would be envious. So why is he not around today? We wish we had the answer. He lost a battle against something that perhaps no one could help him against - his own mind.

    If there is anything to be learned from this senseless, tragic loss, it is the fact that anyone can suffer from mental health issues. Depression, like death, does not discriminate. It can happen to anyone - even the ones who are 'living a perfect life'.
    Let us all pledge to check up on our friends and families regularly.
    Let us ask them if they are okay.
    Let us assure them that they can talk about anything, and lend a patient ear.
    Sometimes, that little gesture can mark the difference between life and death for someone.

    It even pains me to write about another instance where a young talented actor has gone too soon, leaving his fans across the places extremely shocked. Year 2020 has been the most tragic year so far especially for the Bollywood industry that has lost so many renowned celebrities including Irrfan Khan, Rishi Kapoor, singer-music composer Wajid Khan and now Sushant Singh Rajput.

    â Sushant Singh Rajput (@itsSSR) October 26, 2019
    The news of the sudden demise of the 34-year-old actor on Sunday by âcommitting suicideâ at his house in Mumbai has left celebrities and people from across the country extremely shocked and saddened.
    The tragic and shocking death of India's rising star #SushantSinghRajput has left millions of his fans devastated. The masterly performances of his film and TV career will forever be remembered. May his friends and family have the strength to cope with this loss. RIP

    In fact, Sushant recently took to his Instagram account to pen a moving note for his late mother that made his fans get extremely emotional. Here, letâs take a look at the phenomenal actorâs inspiring lifeâs journey so far - from dropping out from mechanical engineering course to becoming a successful actor:
    His early lifeThe Kai Po Che actor was born in Patna. His father was a government official. He is the youngest and only son in his family. He has four elder sisters, one of whom is a state level cricketer. His mother passed away in the year 2002 when he was in 12th standard. Sushant Singh spent his childhood in Delhi.

    Even though the actorâs turning point came when he got countrywide recognition because of his popular soap opera Pavitra Rishta in which he made people fall in love with his character âManav Deshmukhâ, many of his fans do not know that this wasnât his debut in Indian T.V. He initially started with the role of Preet Juneja in the serial Kis Desh Mein Hai Dil Mera in the year 2008.

    Everyone is still in shock, people are still not able to believe that a brilliant actor like Sushant Singh Rajput is gone. People are mourning him, condolences are being shared, fans are remembering all the memorable movies he has been a part of. In his fond memory, we've listed down some roles that he's played that will forever be his legacy and something for people to remember him by.
    1. Kai Po Che! © UTV Motion Pictures
    He was one of the rare actors to seamlessly transition into a Bollywood actor after starting his career on TV and that's what makes his first movie that much more special. The movie was met with loads and loads of positive reviews and proved the fact that Sushant Singh Rajput had the makings of a Bollywood star already. The movie is currently streaming on Netflix.

    2. PK © Vinod Chopra Films
    While he may not have had a huge role in this movie, it was a crucial one nonetheless. We'll always remember him as Sarfaraz and how âusne dhoka nahi diya.â In a movie that already had big stars like Aamir Khan and Anushka Sharma, he made sure to give a performance that we won't forget anytime soon.

    You can watch the movie on Netflix or Sony Liv.
    3. Detective Byomkesh Bakshy! © Yash Raj Films
    The action-thriller received so much critical acclaim and Sushant shined through as the titular character. He was praised for bringing an iconic Bengali character to life with so much elegance and the entire movie was appreciated for being one of the best crime mysteries in Bollywood.

    The movie is available on Sony Liv.
    4. M.S.Dhoni: The Untold Story © Fox Star Studios
    Of course, now comes his breakthrough role as none other than M.S. Dhoni. Portraying a real-life person is so much harder than a fictional one but he told the untold story of the former Indian Cricket team captain flawlessly. The biopic has been highly praised and of course, Sushant's acting as well. This seemed like a turning point for him as it is his biggest hit. The movie is streaming of Disney+ Hotstar.

    5. Chhichhore © Fox Star Studios
    Last but not the least, we have the movie Chhichhore that everyone is remembering today. The movie deals with the topics of suicide and depression and shows people, especially students, how to live life to the fullest. His character is dealing with his son's attempt at suicide and how he handles that is something that is making everyone emotional today. The movie is available on Disney+ Hotstar.

    Rest in peace, Sushant. You will be missed!

    For every single person, TikTok has been a blessing during the lockdown. Everyone, from celebrities to regular people bored at home, has tried their hand at the TikTok dances and just creating hilarious content when they have nothing else to do. One famous person who has been extremely consistent on the app has been David Warner who has constantly made headlines with his TikToks. From duets with other celebs to just dancing with his adorable kids, it's safe to assume that the Australian cricketer is having the best time under lockdown.
    One of his latest videos has his two cute lil daughters dressed up in a ghaghras and three of them dancing to the song Bala from Housefull 4.

    Roshan Mathew has encapsulated us with his charm as Sushanth in Anurag Kashyap's recent movie, Choked. He plays the role of a musician named Sushanth Pillai, who is a South Indian settled in Mumbai in the film. Choked has asked very relevant questions about issues ranging from demonetization to gender roles in the society, to middle-class woes and even relationship issues. Sushanthâs character is a laid back guy who is sitting back at home and is lurking around and it's his wife who's running the house So naturally,  there were many questions that I wanted to ask Roshan about this role. 
    © Netflix
    Well, I got a chance to talk to Roshan Mathew and he talked about playing the role of a house husband, the whole concept surrounding the male ego, and much more. Here the excerpts from my interview:

    Choked has been received pretty well by the audience and people are loving you and your character. What do you have to say about it? 
    Whatever is reaching me is from basically from two categories of people - ones who I respect and value and ones who I don't know at all. People saying good things does make you feel good and I am happy with the response that I am getting. Throughout the shooting of Choked, I was blindly just working and doing what's coming to me. So, I am glad that it has churned out well. 
    © Netflix
    So, your character is showing a very different shade of a man - a house husband - and not many have played such roles on the big screen...

    I don't think I would call Sushant a house husband as he is practically just bugging around the house. It's Sarita, the lady of the house, who is actually taking care of both domestic and the professional world. I feel Sushant is more like a potato who's of no use and he is doing any domestic chores. For me, it's not a househusband per se. Sushant has become a complete failure in his career and all the flaws attracted me to play the character. 
    When husbands are out of work and their wives step out, there is this male ego that always comes in question. Even Sushant also feels the same... 
    Yes, Sushant does carry a lot of that emotion. He would rather borrow it from a friend than his wife. For me, it's a very common thing and we all know people like that and I am not excluding myself from this category. We, somewhere, have grown up watching cinema that glorifies this alpha male sort of characters and that becomes an idea of a man. Well, you are not willing to accept any other idea of being a man. So that way, Sushant is a very relevant character to portray, especially during the lockdown times.
    © Netflix
    In the movie, there's this one scene which I felt very unbelievable wherein you see a video of your wife going to a hotel with a man but your character doesn't react in a way most men would... 

    So, this is one scene that we actually spent time discussing. Well, the thing is both Sushant and Sarita are not at all looking at the option of divorce even if their marriage has hit a rough patch. Neither of them in the wildest dreams has thought about separating. They are still in love with each other and when Sushant realizes that it's Reddy who's chasing his wife for his loan, he stands up for her. Sushant is not a shitty guy and he has a lot of love for his wife. 
      
    There's one more scene that stood out for me was when Sarita's arm is stuck inside the kitchen's sink and she is calling you for her help but you completely just ignore her. It's basically Anurag Kasyap taking a pot-shot at the government. What do you have to say about it? 
    For me, that scene was actually very tricky. It's Sarita's nightmare and it's not who actually Sushant really is as it's basically how Sarita sees him. Their marriage has hit a low so she has this mindset that even if she calls him out for help, he won't come forward. She can't count on him. Sushant laughing at her was more of an exaggeration. 
    © Netflix
    So, the movie shows the brunt of demonetization, and back then when PM Narendra Modi announced it, it was no less than a horror movie as people were left with no cash, and the limit, at the start, was Rs 4000 as also shown in the movie. Have you been in a tough spot because of this?

    It was a tough time for everyone and I have a better perspective of the whole situation now that I had 3 years back. I wasn't someone who was affected really badly as I do have those privileges and my dad works in a bank. I didn't have to go the bank and stand in the long queues. I was sorted this way, I would say. Well, the difficult part was when a movie of mine was released just a week ago before democratization, it was badly affected as people didn't have the liquid cash to go and watch the movie. The movie business was affected. That way, I had to make peace with it. 
    © Netflix
    As you just said that the movie industry was affected back during demonetization, it's a similar case now as everything is shut. Do you think OTT will take over the theatrical experience considering things won't go back to normal so soon?

    I don't think that will happen as they will co-exist and OTT wasn't ever struggling even when things were fine. The attention is more on OTT because of the situation right now and I feel people are always looking for modes for consuming entertainment so there's enough room for all the mediums. 
    You are a theatre artist and now, you have made a debut with Anurag Kashyap who's a big name in Bollywood. How do you see your journey?
    My journey is not long enough to stop or look back. I feel I have just started. It's been 10 years and if you see the time, it might look big but I have barely started. I have a list of people that I want to work with and there's so much more to do. I have not had huge moments of reflection but sometimes, it does come back when people from college remind you that they always knew I was going to be featured in movies. These moments do feel poetic.

    If thereâs one actor who is both on-screen and off-screen hero, it is undoubtedly actor Sonu Sood. With his generous initiatives to send the migrant workers to their respective home states who were stranded in the middle of nationwide lockdown due to coronavirus, he has earned a ânational heroâ status.

    This time around, the 46-year-old actor has come to the aid of his R... Rajkumar co-star Surendra Rajan. The latter had come to Mumbai to film a web series when the lockdown was announced in March, and has been stranded in the city ever since. According to a Navbharat Times report, when Sood came to know of Rajanâs plight, he offered his assurance that heâd send Rajan back to his hometown of Satna before June 18.
    Rajan, who has also appeared in Munna Bhai MBBS, said, âSonu Soodâs work is amazing and I am surprised that a man is working like this. One cannot do this unless he has a tremendous will to help people from within. He is doing extraordinary work and people like Sonu Sood are rare.â

    There is no point in denying the fact, that Virat Kohli is one of the most gifted batsmen in the world. Even purists, as much as they hate to say this, will agree that when it comes to technique, and timing the ball, Kohli is one the best batsmen ever, and he has the potential to be counted among the all-time greats.
    © Reuters

    As a bowler, however, Virat Kohli, well, isnât that well versed, to put things lightly. In an interview with Gaurav Kapoor, he has stated that there was a time when he thought that he was a great bowler and that he could deceive batsmen. This illusion was rather quickly shattered when he started bowling somewhat frequently. 


    As âbadâ a bowler Virat is, there is a record that he holds, that is very very odd. So much so, that it is unlikely that anyone is unlikely going to break that one. Wondering what it is?
    © Reuters

    Virat Kohli is the only cricketer to take a wicket, concede a run, and not have the delivery counted as a ball. Technically, he had a wicket and given away a run on his 0th delivery.

    Wondering how the hell did that happen? 

    Back in 2011, when India was touring England, India lost a test series, pretty badly. 4-0, to be exact. Before the ODI series was set to begin, India was playing England in a T20. India put up a respectable score of 170. England on the other hand, started off strong with 58 runs in the first 6 overs. Kevin Pietersen was proving to be a serious problem for India.
    © Wiki Commons

    MS Dhoni, being the genius that he is, decided to give Kohli the ball. Now mind you, Kohli had never bowled a ball in T20 before.
