Actress Sonam Khan has revealed that she secretly had a huge crush on her co-star Sanjay Dutt but never confessed her feelings to him.

Sonam, who worked with Sanjay in “Kroadh”, shared a moment with the actor from the 1990 film. He described him as an amazing co-star with a heart of gold and said she would always cherish the memories of working with him in their films.

She wrote: “Finally, Sanju baba on my page! (the only actor I worked with, on who I secretly had a huge crush, he had no clue and I never told him) He was the most amazing co-star for me with a heart of gold! Will always cherish the amazing memories with #sanjubaba in all the movies I worked with him.”

Kroadh is a 1990 Indian Bollywood action film directed by Shashilal K. Nair. It stars Sanjay Dutt, Sunny Deol, Amrita Singh, and Sonam in pivotal roles.

The film follows Ajay and Vijay as they enter the world of crime simply to find their mother’s murderer. However, Ajay decides to join the police but cannot convince his brother to do the same.

Sonam Khan began her career with the Telugu film Samrat in 1987. She was launched in Hindi cinema by Yash Chopra in his directorial Vijay in 1988. She went on to star in several commercially successful films, including Tridev, Mitti Aur Sona, Kroadh, Kodama Simham, Ajooba, Fateh and Vishwatma.

She was last seen on screen in the 1994 film Insaniyat, an action thriller film directed by Ramanjit Juneja. The film features Amitabh Bachchan, Sunny Deol, Jaya Prada, Raveena Tandon, Chunky Panday, Sonam, Anupam Kher, Prem Chopra, Shafi Inamdar and in posthumous appearances Nutan & Vinod Mehra.

The film was touted as the only film in which Amitabh and Sunny had acted together. Eventually, it finished as an average grosser and the 12th highest-grossing film of 1994.

Bollywood actor Ajay Devgn appeared on the adventure reality show ‘Into The Wild With Bear Grylls’ back in 2021. During the episode, Ajay shared that children see their parents in a different light once they grow up. He added that their perspective especially changes once they have their own children.

Ajay also opened up about his relationship with his late father, Veeru Devgan.

Bear Grylls commenced the conversation by asking Ajay, “You have lost your dad recently.”

“Yes, two years ago,” said Ajay.

“So the last two years must have been very difficult,” Bear Grylls added.

Ajay explained how a person’s understanding of their parents can change as they grow up.

“It’s tough to lose parents, because you don’t care about them till the age of 20 in your life. You think they are stupid. They don’t know anything. You know everything,” he shared.

Ajay added, “Then when you have your own children, then you understand what parents are. They want the best for you. By then, it takes a lot of time to understand this.”

When Bear Grylls asked Ajay what had happened to his father, the ‘Golmaal’ actor said that his father suffered from Alzheimer’s disease. He added that his father also suffered many physical injuries while working on stunts in his films.

“Yes, he had Alzheimer’s,” Devgn said. “He had a lot of injuries due to stunts,” Ajay told Bear Grylls.

Recalling one particular incident, he added, “Once during the shooting, he had to go across a car, and he had an injury on his head.

Ajay explained that real cars were used for stunt sequences at the time, causing some serious injuries. “Because at that time, they used real glass. Now we use toughened glass. It also hurts. But the real glass hurts a lot.”

Veteran actor Naseeruddin Shah extended his support to students of the Satyajit Ray Film and Television Institute who are currently staging an indefinite sit-in after a violent incident on campus recently.

Naseeruddin claimed that the BJP wishes to take revenge on all who do not subscribe to its beliefs and policies, and SRFTI students are the latest targets.

On Saturday, the veteran actor dropped a video on his official handle saying, “Namaskar, adab, I’m Naseeruddin Shah. The BJP, the bloody jhooti party, after its manipulative victory in the Bengal elections, now seems all out for revenge on anyone who does not subscribe to their beliefs and their policies. The latest victims of this vendetta are the students, the aspiring filmmakers of the Satyajit Ray Film and Television Institute. In return for their demand for accountability from the administration, they have been served show cause notices, put under surveillance, threatened and now have even been asked to vacate the hostels.”

Naseeruddin added that BJP wants not just to back and encourage the shameless propaganda in its favour, and it is now hoping either to brainwash or frighten the future filmmakers of this country.

“I can promise you that is not going to happen. These are the young people who in the future will tell us the truth about themselves and about our country and about the state we are in,” he assured.

“I urge all right-minded citizens to support the demands of the Satyajit Ray Film and Television Institute students,” the actor said before ending the clip.

For the unversed, SRFTI students have been staging an indefinite sit-in outside Vice-Chancellor Santosh Ajmera’s office since October 12, demanding his resignation.

Students and members of the Akhil Bharatiya Grahak Panchayat (ABGP), an RSS-affiliated consumer awareness group, got into a clash during a programme on September 27.

On October 4, another tussle took place as a protest was organised by the members of the Bangiya Hindu Jagaran Mancha. According to reports, a few protesters attempted to force open the gate of the institute after police stopped them.
