Rishi K's tweets against actors who didn't attend Vinod Khanna's fune - Page 14

^^^No sanjay dutt didn't attend the funeral..maybe he was not in Mumbai..

twitter is a big joke after fb 😛

What rishi saheb felt for late vinod khanna. i have seen annu kapoor saying the same for legendary music director O.P. Naiyar that he was the only person from the industry to be at their as his funeral. actor sachin felt same for A.K.Hangal that he was the only one at his funeral and was pained that hungal saheb worked with so many big actors but none was there. hungal saheb poverty was highlighted in his last days and many big people noticed that and offered help. i have seen many relatives of past actors complaining the same that their parents help so many people in the industry but no body bothered to ask about their health and come in their last rites. these industry people are bunch of Hippocrates in this matter. if a big influential actor director dies they will go. if an actor director past his prime dies. no body bothers. common people see industry as one. but it is not necessary that they know all. they have their friends group circles. i don't know if prakash mehra funeral was attended by big b and others. it is also known that bharat bhushan died in extreme poverty. they should check the person while he is ill. attending funeral straight away just looks to hogg lime light and nothing else.

Sadhna who died, recently, had the same story,...
This article says it all,...http://www.rediff.com/movies/column/the-truth-rishi-kapoor-forgot/20170428.htm

Also there is one more here to mention,...

Many a times, even few stars worked in a film together,.. the director arranges their schedule, scene, set and all on diff days, ... diff story sequences,... diff time and place, they are shot, as per the story,... and they even have not seen or met each other during the work in that movie,..!!

Once I was watching Hema and jaya both together on KWK show,... Jaya had mentioned smthg that, they were working differently during Sholey and never were even meeting or knowing each other,... about what and who is doing in what part of the story,... !!

--------

Some ppl may say(below),... [ I don't believe it ]

Like most businessmen they are human. I know many of them personally. They are normal people like me and you just very rich. The only difference is people expect them to make comments on everything. IT's like everytime there is a terrorist attack , We want Himalaya10 to post here saying he is condemning the attacks. If he does not and posts a movie review , we all go , saala movie pe likha but attack pe nahin likha. Ja Pakistan Ja.

The old style of working is gone. There is no more Dawood Money and casting couch. Fox Films , Paramount Studios, Sony Picture, Reliance Entertainment have more legal money than Dawood and they are big business that expect returns. SO you can no longer sleep with Producer and become a lead heroine. To become a lead heroine you need approval from 20 people that includes an executive in suit.

So things have changed. Sonu Nigam can continue to get work as long as studio thinks he is good investment. He no longer needs to suck up to someone in Dubai anymore.
That is why we nowadays see actors being more human and expressing themselves. Rishi Kapoor is another example.

Why not ! That's how we grew up watching their movies on TVs, VHS and during our entire childhood, while watching them,.. Especially when at that time,... PC, Cell, TV, Tape recorder / VCR, so often plane traveling / train traveling, so many tourist bus services,... Hiking, bowling, Gyms, tennis courts, swimming pools,.. nothing was there and the form of entertainment was either Cricket or Movies.

Young stars of today are " baap ki kamaayi waala" and no one has any own guts, height, body, personality, acting power,.. no nothing,.. all r just like Abhi-baby and Fardeen khans. Rajesh, Amitabh, Manoj, Raj, Dev, .. they all were stood up on their own bal-boote. Today we have, Shahid, Ranbir, Varun, Abhi, Fardeen and such... dau kodi ke, hopelesses.

When Bollywood switches off the limelight

Last updated on: April 28, 2017 18:13 IST

Bollywood doesn't care for the fading star, says Syed Firdaus Ashraf.

Actress Uma Devi died on November 24, 2003.

I was about to leave for her funeral, when a photographer friend called to say I was late, the funeral was over, so there was no point in my coming there.

I asked him who had turned up to pay their respects to the veteran actress, whose thriving career spanned from 1950 to 1990.

His answer shocked me: "No one."

Since no celebrity turned up for Uma Devi's funeral, my friend did not shoot any photographs.

Why didn't he, I asked him. Did he also not know of the mark she left on the movie industry in a career spanning more than four decades?

His reply was doused in practicality: "Since no celebrity came for the funeral, no newspaper will buy these pictures so it is not worth the effort."

His words were prophetic. I scanned the newspapers the next day; not a single one carried a photograph of Uma Devi's funeral.

It seemed that no one cared for an artiste who had acted in over 239 films, and who had regaled audiences like few could.

This was pre-Twitter, so one could not even outrage about this except to oneself and to one's close friends.

I remember speaking to her mentor, the legendary composer Naushad Ali, for a tribute feature. Even Naushad could not attend her funeral as the maestro -- then a week away from turning 84 -- was in bad health.

A year later, when film producer Yash Johar passed away, the who's who of Bollywood turned up at his funeral.

Shah Rukh Khan, Hrithik Roshan, Rani Mukerji, Juhi Chawla, Preity Zinta... you name them, the reigning kings and queens of Bollywood were there.

I asked another veteran photographer, "In his entire career, Yash Johar produced only nine movies whereas Uma Devi had acted in 239 movies. Yet no one turned up for her funeral, but everyone has come for his. Why?"

His reply: "Karan Johar."

He believed that the stars had not turned up for Yash Johar, the fine man or producer, but for Yash Johar, the father of Karan Johar, Bollywood's 'man of the moment.'

He patiently explained the thumb rule of Bollywood: "Yahaan chadhta suraj ko salaam karte hain, dhalte suraj ko alvida (only the rising sun is worshipped here, not a fading star)."

Since then, I have attended a few funerals of Bollywood celebrities, only to find the truth in the photographer's words being reinforced each time.

At the funeral of the brilliant director Vijay Anand, no young Bollywood actor turned up. Only the older generation came to mourn one of their own.

The only actress from the younger generation who was there was Tabu; I suppose because Vijay Anand's elder brother, Dev Anand, had given her a break in Hum Naujawan.

Vijay Anand's body of work, it seemed, meant nothing to the young actors of Bollywood.

In 2013, when Priyanka Chopra's father Dr Ashok Chopra passed way, many young Bollywood actors had turned up for his funeral.

Shah Rukh Khan, Ranbir Kapoor, Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone, Shahid Kapoor... they were all there.

I realised that no one had turned up for Dr Chopra, the person; they were there for Bollywood's reigning diva Priyanka Chopra's father.

A year prior to that, in 2012, when director Yash Chopra passed away, all the young stars made it to the funeral.

Even someone who had not acted in a Yash Raj film like Deepika Padukone was there.

I thought his elder son Aditya Chopra was then the reigning monarch of Bollywood, so how could one not turn up for his father's funeral?

Some years later, when I saw the Hollywood classic Sunset Boulevard, I realised how cruel life can be for celebrities when their stardom fades away.

They want to be in the limelight forever, but fans and show business cruelly dumps them once their glory days are over.

Director Guru Dutt's 1959 classic Kaagaz Ke Phool portrays this bitter truth about how the film industry casts you away in the dust bin of history once the limelight fades.

Tellingly, the film was a disaster at the box office.

To return to the beginning of this feature, you may wonder why you have never heard of an actress called Uma Devi despite the fact that she acted in over 200-odd films?

Well, that's because she was better known as the comic actress, Tun Tun.

She had come to Mumbai to become a singer, but could not get a break as her mentor Naushad felt her voice had a limited range.

She did sing one unforgettable number, Afsana Likh Rahi Hoon in the film, Dard (1947).

Naushad advised her to act, which she agreed to, and that was when Uma Devi became Tun Tun.

For more than 40 years she made everyone laugh, but there was no one to mourn her demise.

This is the way Bollywood functions. A veteran like Rishi Kapoor forgot this when he took to Twitter yesterday.
