Why did Shammi Kapoor say about marriage with Mumtaz, it was a nightmare...

 

Legend actress Mumtaz has spoken about her romance with late actor Shammi Kapoor in interviews. The two met during the shooting of 'Brahmachari', which proved to be a turning point in Mumtaz's career. He featured in the film's iconic song 'Aajkal Tere Mere Pyar Ke Charcha'.

How does the real story of Gandhari's marriage differ from what we see in popular adaptations?

Gandhari

The marriage story of Gandhari and Dhritarashtra is just too simple. Bhishma sent a proposal of marriage of Gandhari with Dhritarashtra through a diplomat to King Subala of Gandhara (modern day Kandhara area including Taxila). He was perplexed and anxious as the would be groom was blind but in the end he accepted the proposal because Hastinapur was a very big and prosperous Kingdom and could be a perfect ally for Gandhara.

Shakuni took his sister to Hastinapur and Gandhari knowing her husband is blind decided to not see things her husband couldn't see and she blindfolded herself and vowed to never see any faults in her husband. With her wise and kind behaviour, she won over her in laws.

What is the story of Kusha's daughter Hema, and how does her marriage reflect the customs of that time?

 

Kusha , Champika and their daughter Hema

Kusha, the eldest son of Shri Ram and Mata Sita was married to Princess Champika, daughter of Maharaja Bhurikirti. Rishi Agastya after their marriage prophesized to Shri Ram that Champika won't be having any sons but daughters and when Shri Ram had left for Vaikuntha, Kusha would get a second wife named Kumudvati and get sons.

Kusha and Champika started their marital life and they had nine daughters together. Once Shri Ram organised a grand Swayamvara for Hema, beautiful and illustrious daughter of Kusha and Champika. Many Kings were invited in the Swayamvara along with Prince Chitrangad of Avanti.

Chitrangada fell in love with beautiful and illustratious Hema and wished to marry her. He hypnotized everyone in the Swayamvara while Shri Ram and other elders were away and took Hema on his chariot and left but he didn't go to Avanti and stopped midway as he considered it wrong to take her away like this. But it was too late, the royal house found it insulting and Lava and others attacked him in which Lava got unconsious. Then Kusha came and defeated Chitrangad and his father Ugrabahu and took them to Shri Ram. Shri Ram forgave them due to friendly relationship with Avanti and the good behaviour of the father and son in the past. It's not properly written but it's hinted that Hema was married off to Chitrangad as usually happened in such situations.

Shri Ram gave Kusha his famous golden arm- bracelet after this victory which was originally gifted to him by Rishi Agastya and years later this very bracelet became the reason of the union of Kusha and his love Kumudvati and the birth of meritorious, handsome and intelligent Atithi, the scion of Raghu and worthy grandson of Shri Ram.

Ananda Ramayana is considered a late source although it's writer is called Maharishi Valmiki. The source mentions history of sons of Lord Ram and his siblings.

Who did Angelina Jolie marry first?

 Have you seen the 1995 movie Hackers? If not, and you're interested, it's worth checking out. It's a genuinely fun film about computers and the hacking world.

Angelina Jolie played one of the lead roles in it, Kate Libby, better known online as "Acid Burn." As it turns out, "Acid Burn" ended up marrying one of her fellow lead castmates in real life...

That hacking prodigy became Angelina Jolie's first husband outside the movie. On screen, his character went by Dade Murphy, with hacker aliases "Zero Cool" and "Crash Override."

His real name is Jonny Lee Miller.

The two got married shortly after the film's release, in 1996, Jonny Lee Miller and Angelina Jolie officially became husband and wife. They stayed together for three years starting in 1999, and he became Angelina's first husband before she later married Billy Bob Thornton, and eventually Brad Pitt.

The film's lead actress, playing "Acid Burn," was just 20 years old when she met "Crash Override" on set, who was 23 at the time. In real life, though, Angelina Jolie was 21 when they got married, while Jonny Miller was 24.

Why has Katrina and Vicky's marriage created so much drama?

Interesting question. I would like to answer briefly as lots of question have been already asked on this issue.

  1. This was marriage of one of the most charming super star of Bollywood.
  2. She was going to get marry with less famous actor Vicky Kaushal.
  3. Vicky Kaushal is 5 years younger to Katrian Kaif.
  4. Katrina Kaif is ex girlfriend of super star Salman Khan.
  5. Many people say, if Salman Khan makes four actor’s life then he spoil 40 actors career. In 2020, many actors made this allegation on Salman Khan after Sushant Singh Rajput’s suspicious death.

6. Earlier, Salman Khan had also fell in love with Ms. World Ashwarya Roy but that relation was also end at disappointing notes. After, breakup Ashwarya Roy had moved towards Vivek Oberoy to shun from Salman. Vikek was emerging star then but after developing relation with Ashwarya, his career end at sad note. It is understood that Salman Khan had spoiled his career.

Salman Khan can stop this marriage.

  1. Salman Khan and his family were not invited for the marriage.
  2. Katrina and Vicky kept it secret so that someone cannot interrupt.
  3. It was great occasion for media to get TPR and viewership on all occasion of this most hyped wedding but Katrina and Vicky kept all away from this event

The secrecy was the main of all drama. Katrina Kaif is big star and her fan & followers wanted to know each and every news of her marriage. Media new it and tried their best to serve news to a certain group of people. Every body should release that how big aura, Katrina Kaif holds.

Why does Bollywood actor Aamir Khan repeatedly go for love jihad marriages (followed by divorce) instead of marrying fellow Muslim women?

 The Badmabhushan awardee Amirkhan has a large following, and a great actor and producer of films, especially in India and China and has been described by News week as the most bankable movie star in the world".He has been regularly listed among The 500 most influential Muslims of the world.He also created and hosted the television talk show Satyameva Jayathey. His work as a social reformer earned him an appearance on the Time 100 list of most influential people in the world in 2013.

Here is an example of social reform:

Having seen his contribution to the film Industry and his his fellow Muslim communities now let me answer the questions on his married life especially Love Jihad, Aamir Khan married Reena Dutta, a Hindu, who had a small part in Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak, on 18 April 1986. They have two children: a son named Junaid and a daughter, Ira. Dutta was involved briefly in his career when she worked as a producer for Lagaan. In December 2002, he filed for divorce and Dutta took custody of both children.

On 28 December 2005, he married Kiran Rao another Hindu who had been an assistant director to Gowariker on the set of Lagan. On 5 December 2011, they announced the birth of their son, Azad Khan,through a surrogate mother. In July 2021, the couple announced their separation and stated that though they would raise their son Azad together but it finally fell on Kiran Rao( naturally).

In March 2015, he stated that he quit non-vegetarian food and adopted a vegan lifestyle after being inspired by her. ( Now he has began liking NV food)

On 13 March 2025, Khan has publicly introduced Gauri Spratt ( another Hindu) as his girlfriend at his 60th birthday party, confirming their 18-month relationship.

He can go up to 4 as is religiously permitted as per Hadith.

It is only to see the both the side of the coin.

What was the reason that Charles married Diana?

 Prince Charles was in his thirties and knew it was time to settle down with a wife and make an heir and a spare. Camilla Shand, the true love of his life, had married years before and had children by this point, so Charles could hardly ask her to marry him. Camilla had moved on, and Charles tried dating many women. He even dated Diana’s older sister, Sarah, for a bit.

When Sarah granted an interview about dating Charles, he broke things off with her. Diana was only sixteen at the time. Charles continued working and dating, and he appeared to be no closer to finding a wife when he met Lady Diana at a barbecue of a mutual friend. They talked, and Diana told Charles how lonely he looked at the funeral of his Uncle Louis (Dickie) Mountbatten.

The prince pursued Diana, but he took his time, with her stating much later that some weeks they spoke every day, and then three weeks would pass with no word from Charles. Diana went about her business of being an assistant teacher and living in a flat with three other girls who swooned over Lady Di’s romance. Diana said she always felt as if she were destined for something unusual, so she didn’t spend her time dating and sleeping around. Besides, a lady would be expected to make a good marriage, especially in 1980.

I just realized I didn’t state how beautiful and charming shy Diana was. Charles would have been quite taken by her looks and the way she started off as shy and warmed up eventually and laughed and let loose. But Diana was definitely a very pretty woman, and Charles found her to be beguiling.

Diana had the blue blood, so to speak, as she came from an aristocratic family, so Diana was deemed quite suitable as a wife for the future king. Diana had also saved herself for marriage, so no old boyfriends came out of the woodwork talking about bedding the lady. Times were very different back then, and it does seem archaic, but these two factors weighed heavily in the decision for Prince Charles to marry Lady Diana Spencer.

Diana was over-the-moon in love with the idea of being the wife of the Prince of Wales. Diana would be a fairy princess and live happily ever after. Who wouldn’t want that life? Lady Diana kept dating Charles, though they only spent thirteen dates together before Charles popped the question. The couple became engaged in February of 1981 and married in July of that year.

Charles married Diana because she came from an excellent background, she was a virgin, she was fertile and Diana loved Charles. He thought she’d be a fairly good support as a royal wife, but they weren’t well-matched, and Diana had some emotional issues along with a new eating disorder. This all hurt their marriage, but Prince Charles said he did love Diana at that time. Early in their marriage. But by the time Prince Harry was born the couple had drifted permanently apart.

On paper their marriage looked perfect. In reality Diana and Charles had a tough marriage. They both strayed, and they both craved true love. We know it didn’t end well for Diana, but I do think Charles found his soul mate in Camilla. They did marry, and she supports him and helps Charles with his workload.

Maybe if Lady Diana and Prince Charles had spent more time together they would not have married, but they did, and many lesson were learned. Times had changed and senior royals were marrying for love, not to make a good match. Heirs are now allowed to marry for love.

What was the reason Amitabh Bachchan & Rekha decided not to marry?

 Amitabh and Rekha's love story is one of the most talked-about affairs of Bollywood even till date.

An unsuccessful love story

Their love story began on the sets of film Do Anjaane (1976), when Amitabh was a married man.

During the shoots of Ganga Ki Saugandh (1978), Big B reportedly lost his temper on a co-actor who was misbehaving with Rekha. After this, their affair came in the limelight and grabbed the media attention. The two denied the affair, but it is loud and clear that the two were dating each other. In one of the interviews, Silsila director, Yash Chopra confirmed their relationship!

The gossip mills started churning out stories of Rekha-Amitabh's affair. They even made headlines saying that Rekha and Amitabh have got secretly married. And, these speculations caught more fire when Rekha made a sensational entry at Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Singh's wedding, wearing sindoor and mangalsutra. The attention of everyone present at the wedding shifted to Rekha and her much-married look! People started whispering that has Rekha tied the knot!

When Jaya came to know about the affair

It was reported that after this incident, Jaya Bachchan invited Rekha home for dinner and told her candidly that she would never leave her husband whatever may happen. And likewise, Jaya kept her promise till the very end. Rekha finally realised that she either want to be Mrs. Bachchan or stay single!

In an interview given to Filmfare magazine in 1984, Rekha spoke about Amitabh’s denial of their relationship. She said, "Why should he have not done it? He did it to protect his image, his family, his children. Why should the public know of my love for him or his love for me? I love him and he loves me- that’s it! If he’d reacted that ways towards me in private, I would have been very disappointed.”

She further added, “Mr. Bachchan is still old-fashioned. He doesn’t want to hurt anybody, so why hurt his wife?”

Rekha wears sindoor for Big B?

Well, even though Rekha and Amitabh went their separate paths afterwards, but it is well-known that Rekha has always seen making appearances supporting a sindoor on her forehead. While most people for long dismissed it to be Rekha's unique style statement, Deepali Issar, actor Puneet Issar's wife believes it to be otherwise. She once revealed, "Rekha wears sindoor for Big B."

Rekha still in love with Amitabh?

Some say that Rekha is still smitten by Big-B. In one of her interviews to Hindustan Times in 2008, when the journalist asked her if she would like people to stop connecting her to Mr. Bachchan, she immediately replied, “Why? I hope not. Mr Bachchan is one of the best things to have happened in my life. The best teacher, the best guru. Well, I’ve chosen to learn as much from his off-camera.. as from his on-camera demeanours.”
