What are facts about celebrities that are little known?

 Shatrughn Sinha is known for his baritone voice which enhances his dialogues delivery. So it is difficult to imagine his voice dubbed by someone else. And that too by Johnny Lever!! But in the film Saaya (1988) Shatrughn Sinha’s voice is dubbed by Johnny Lever in the courtroom scene. Johnny Lever was a renowned mimicry artist and he dubbed a few lines for Sinha. If you listen to the dialogue you will find them very funny even though it is a serious scene.

During the year 1986 atleast 4 Bollywood pairs eloped from their homes to get married. It is difficult to say who inspired whom but the family of the girl had to struggle a lot to normalise the situation. And all the cases the female was an actress and the make was a director or producer.

The first pair was Anita Raj and film director producer Sunil Hingorani, who eloped because of refusal of Anita Raj’s family. She eloped and the family disowned her but kept her home with them (even though it was bought by Anita Raj).

The second pair was Jayaprada who eloped with film producer Shrikant Nahata because Nahata was already married with children and couldn't marry her due to family pressure. Even though they got married silently he could never give her the status of a legally wedded wife.

The third pair was that of Padmini Kolhapure and producer Pradeep Sharma, who worked together in Aisa Pyar Kahan and decided to get married. But Padmini’s parents refused and so with the help of her best friend Poonam Dhillon she eloped from her home to get married. Padmini's father went to Bal Thackeray to bring her daughter back as Pradeep Sharma was non Marathi, but Balasaheb Thackeray refused to intervene if they have married with consent.

Fourth pair was Vijeta Pandit who eloped to get married to director Sameer Malkhan who directed Car Thief starring Vijeta. Even though Vijeta’s father supported the marriage and he was part of marriage registeration the couple got married without informing any member of her family including her sister Sulkashana Pandit. Unfortunately this marriage didn't work and they divorced after some years.
