Key takeaways:
- From Jacqueline Fernandez’s involvement in a money laundering case to Ranveer Singh’s naked photo shoot.
As the year 2022 ends, we expect there will be only more joyful days to see in the Indian entertainment industry next year.
Bollywood movies had a hard time this year, with just a few managing to get in the numbers at the box office. Several Hindi movies even faced boycott trends over some point or other.
Despite the rise and success of several South movies, some even raised doubts that Bollywood was dead. Not just movies but many Bollywood superstars were also a part of various disputes.
From Ranveer Singh’s naked photoshoot to actors Ajay Devgn and Kiccha Sudeep locking horns over the Hindi language and Jacqueline Fernandez’s involvement in a money laundering case, there was much going on in the Bollywood industry apart from movies.
Ranveer Singh’s naked photo shoot
It was summer in July, and Ranveer Singh raised the temperatures also more by posing nude for an international magazine, Paper. The superstar couldn’t have guessed that it won’t only attract eyeballs but police complaints as well.
Lalit Sen expressing love for Sushmita Sen
Ex-IPL chairman Lalit unexpectedly caught the attention of movie lovers in July as he expressed love for Sushmita Sen and a bunch of romantic photos from their Maldives holiday. He called her his ‘better half’ as he penned about a new start and a new life after the demise of his wife in 2018.
Jacqueline Fernandez involved in ₹200 crore money laundering case
Jacqueline was deeply concerned as she was charged in the ₹200 crore money laundering case involving conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar. She regularly appears for interrogation in front of the Enforcement Directorate and is not authorised to fly abroad.
Deepika Padukone starrer Besharam Rang
Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone brought much-needed power by launching the first track Besharam Rang from their upcoming movie Pathaan.
Fanatics of the two couldn’t get enough of the trippy number, but several political leaders opposed the colour of the saffron bikini donned by Deepika in the song.
Many asked for a ban on the movie. Madhya Pradesh home minister Narottam Mishra said it “has been filmed with a dirty mindset”. The head priest of a temple in Ayodhya even said he would burn Shah Rukh ‘alive’.
