Which celebrities are also successful and upstanding in real life?

 

I would recommend Natalie Portman.

• Born in Jerusalem, she moved to the United States at the age of three and now holds dual citizenship in both the United States and Israel .
• Portman began dancing at the age of four and belonged to a local theater group. At the age of 10, she was approached by a Revlon agent to become a child model, but she declined in order to focus on her acting career . In a magazine interview, Portman said that she was "different from other kids." "I was more ambitious, I knew what I liked and what I wanted, and I worked hard. I was a very serious child," she said.
• She was a bright girl. During her student years, Portman co-authored two research papers published in science journals. Her high school paper, "A Simple Method to Demonstrate the Enzymatic Production of Hydrogen from Sugar," published in 1998, was submitted to Intel Science Talent Search. She even missed the premiere of a film she starred in (Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace) to study for her high school final exams.
• While continuing her acting career, she studied psychology at Harvard University, graduating with a bachelor's degree in 2003. She told the New York Post, "I don't care if academics ruin my career. I'd rather be smart than a movie star." During her time at Harvard, she stayed at Lowell House and contributed a letter to the Harvard Crimson in response to an essay criticizing Israel's actions against Palestinians. In 2002, while majoring in psychology at Harvard, she contributed to the memory study "Frontal Lobe Activation during Object Permanence: Data from Near-Infrared Spectroscopy." This paper made Portman one of the very few professional actors for whom the Erdős Bacon number has been defined.
• Her film career : In 2001, Portman appeared in a production of Anton Chekhov's "The Seagull" at the Public Theatre in New York. In 2005, she was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress and won a Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress for the drama "Closer." She also won a Constellation Award (Best Female Performance) and a Saturn Award (Best Actress) for her starring role in "V for Vendetta" (2006). She played leading roles in the historical drama "Goya's Ghosts" (2006) and "The Other Boleyn Girl" (2008). In May 2008, she became the youngest member of the jury at the 61st Cannes International Film Festival, and her directorial debut, "Eve," opened the short film competition at the 65th Venice International Film Festival in 2008. Impressive, isn't it?
• In 2011, Portman starred as Nina Sayers in "Black Swan," winning an Academy Award, Golden Globe Award, BAFTA Award, Screen Actors Guild Award, and Independent Spirit Award .

Fun facts

• She speaks six languages . Portman has been interested in foreign languages ​​since childhood and has studied French, Japanese, German, Hebrew, and Arabic.
• Her ancestors were also capable people : Her paternal grandfather, who died in Auschwitz, was a professor of economics in Israel, and her great-grandmother, born in Romania, was reportedly a spy for British intelligence during World War II.
• She has a famous twin sister . Portman bears a striking resemblance to fellow actress Keira Knightley.

What are the most frightening images from real life?

 Here are some of my favorite "scary" photos

This is a well under a layer of ice, its depth unknown but estimated to be between 100 and 300 meters. It is filled with icy water, but it is so clear that it would be difficult to walk on the ice while looking down!

A similar theme, here a diver exploring an underwater cave, the darkness and the lack of equipment allowing him to breathe are what give this image a heavy atmosphere.

After reviewing his GoPro footage at the end of a surfing day, this surfer realized he wasn't as alone as he thought; luckily the shark wasn't hungry!

Once again, the darkness and the young child's vulnerability make this image chilling. I don't know where it was taken or if there are any potential threats lurking in the water, but there's something about it that sends shivers down my spine.

This image is more beautiful than frightening, but I selected it nonetheless because the chasm can be quite unsettling. It's actually an optical illusion caused by currents that move sediment along the ocean floor. The effect is created by a sudden drop off the coast of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean—it's the edge of the continental shelf where the ocean floor abruptly plunges from 150 meters to 4,000 meters deep. Aerial photos like this one show us what the sand looks like as the currents carry it from the shore to the abyssal depths.

Which celebrated Bollywood celebrity was a horrible person in real life?

 Rajesh Khanna.

Rajesh Khanna was a superstar and superstardom was something, he couldn’t handle. At one time he was treated like a god in Indian cinema and the real problem started when he really started thinking that he is one.

Rajesh Khanna started his career from Chetan Anand’s film “Akhari Khat” which was a dud at box office. But Shakti Shamantha’s “Aaradhna” made him superstar over the night. Success got into his head. And the first victim of this was his girlfriend of seven years Anju Mahendru. After the breakup Khanna married Dimple Kapadia before the release of her first movie Bobby. The story goes that he got his baraat to go in front of Mahendru’s bungalow (which was actually Khanna’s bungalow). They did not speak for nearly 17 years after his marriage.

With success came a group of hangers on, who kept reminding Khanna that he was the superstar. “Although those were the days when Khanna was ‘friends’ with nearly all his colleagues, the regular darbar that he held at Aashirwad had only small-timers in attendance. Among those he hung out with were the producers Mohan Kumar and Johnny Bakshi, writer VK Sharma and villain Roopesh Kumar (claimed to be a cousin of Mumtaz).

These people made the things worse for him as Rajesh Khanna didn’t care anyone including these fellows when he was riding high on the stardom. He used to arrive late on sets, working with him was a huge task for directors and he mostly was introvert and quite unfriendly with his co-actors. Only after four years of his success journey, in year 1973, Amitabh Bachchan appeared in the scene featuring in blockbuster film Zanjeer. He was a boy next door types, an angry young man and people instantly liked him. He was professional, more humble and available to the producers and directors and very soon, he replaced Rajesh Khanna as the next superstar.

Almost unemployed, defeated and still stubborn Rajesh Khanna isolated himself to his house and became an alcoholic. His wife, his daughter and all the remaining family members also left him slowly and in his last days he was only seen with a nobody like “Anita Advani”. She was rumoured to be his live-in partner and the only person around him when he died.

Tragic!!! Isn’t it???

How was Kishore Kumar as a person in real life?

Kishore Kumar was a multi talented personality and a great prankster. I would like to share one of his prank which he played and still is a part of a song.

It's related to the famous song Jai Jai Shiv Shankar from the film Aap Ki Kasam, picturized on Rajesh Khanna and Mumtaz. There were some delays in shooting the song and the producer of the film, J. Omprakash used to always comment “ PACHAAS HAZAAR KHARCHA KAR DIYE", (you made me spent Rs. 50,000). Kishore Kumar picked this tagline and due to some reasons the song was recorded again.

If you listen to the song carefully (full version which has musical part in the end) the extra characters are playing music and there is a comment from Kishore Kumar “Bajao Re Bajao, Imaandaari se bajao", (play the music with honesty), followed by a giggle. What follows after

that will completely surprise you as in no way it is related to the song. Kishore Kumar clearly mentions the tagline of the producer “PACHAS HAZAAR KHARCHA KAR DIYE". He says this with so ease that no one was able to catch it.

Finally, the film released and this prank is still a part of the song. After the release of the film he revealed this fact to the producer, who could do nothing but just laugh on the entire incident.

A lesser known fact about Kishore Kumar which shows that he was not only talented but also very unpredictable. A creative person who shared good relationship, would not like interference in his work, a keen observer and so spontaneous that he was capable of creating such pranks even while recordings.
