"We could not make Uday Chopra a star": Aditya Chopra

17 Feb 2023

And now in Netflix's recent docu-series 'The Romantics', Aditya talks about nepotism and why Uday Chopra couldn't go far in his acting career.He said, "My brother is an actor and he's not a very successful actor. Now, here is the son of one of the biggest filmmakers, he's the brother of a very big filmmaker. Imagine a company like YRF, that has probably launched the most newcomers, and we could not make him a star. Why could we not do it for our own? Because the bottom line is, only an audience will decide, 'I like this person, I want to see this person'. No one else can decide that."Following this, Uday opened up about his career."When Dhoom happened, I was still trying to be a mainstream actor. I should have taken Ali as an example and done roles like that," Uday said.The Mohabbatein actor further said that he received many offers, but he refused them all, as he "was trying to get into a space" that he agreed wasn't meant for him. "When I started acting, I was very naive. I thought everyone would like me. I didn't imagine that people might not like me." He referred to the constant discussion around him and how he wasn't a 'successful actor', and was called a 'child of nepotism'. "It did affect me a lot," Uday admitted.'The Romantics', which celebrates the legacy of filmmaker Yash Chopra, is streaming on Netflix.

15 Sep 2018

Yash Chopras younger son Uday Chopra, may not be seen much on the big screen, but the actor has been keeping himself busy on social networking sites. Those who ardently follow his Twitter handle will definitely vouch for Udays though provoking tweets that could be anything from musings on numbers to just some daily thoughts. Well, continuing with the same, Uday Chopra recently dished out some wisdom on what substance India as a country should legalize. Taking to Twitter, Uday reasoned why India should legalize the opiate marijuana. Sharing his thoughts and reasons on the micro blogging site, Uday posted, I feel India should legalize marijuana. Firstly, its part of our culture. Secondly, I think if legalized and taxed it can be a huge revenue source. Not to mention it will remove the criminal element associated with it. Plus and most importantly it has a lot of medical benefits! In his next tweet, Uday also quickly clarified that he doesnt use it now himself saying, And no I do not use it. I just really think its a wise move, given our history with the plant. In 2014, Uday Chopra produced Grace of Monaco and The Longest Week in Hollywood.

Twitter tattle: When Uday Chopra MISTOOK Meenakshi Seshadri for Farah Khan and Farah busted his confusion

2 Jul 2018

The Twitter account of Uday Chopra is often known for the gems that are shared on the platform. The recent one being the Chopra boys first encounter with the multi-talented Farah Khan. The popular choreographer, on the other hand, known for her quirks, busted the truth behind their encounter that Uday has believed for years or may be not! We dont know what really happened that night at the Diwali party when Uday and Farah apparently met for the first time. But we can definitely assure you that we didnt expect the conversation to take such a turn! The story started with Uday Chopra posting a tweet about how he met Farah Khan for the first time at a Diwali party. While Uday decided to relax after a night of partying, he was obviously shocked to see a girl sleeping on his bed. Later, he probably understood her as Farah Khan and thats what he tweeted on his handle. But his belief was busted when Farah revealed that it wasnt her but Meenakshi Seshadri [for the uninitiated, she was a popular actress of the 90s] and also Farah also went on to clarify that she was sleeping in Adis bed! But heres another twist! Uday revealed that it was during those times when he and his brother Aditya were sharing a room. Followed by this revelation, another series of discussion took place and heres a glimpse: The first time I encountered https://twitter.com/TheFarahKhan?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw @TheFarahKhan was at a Diwali party. I was sleepy and wanted to go to bed and when I went to my room she was sleeping there. I ran downstairs and said theres a girl in my bed and everyone said ya thats Farah. Love u farah even though u stole my bed! Uday Chopra (@udaychopra) https://twitter.com/udaychopra/status/1013379321845682183?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw July 1, 2018 Udayyyyy.. that was Meenakshi sheshadri??i went to sleep in Adis room.. n i Lov u too.. ?? https://t.co/DgJvwDrD4C https://t.co/DgJvwDrD4C Farah Khan (@TheFarahKhan) https://twitter.com/TheFarahKhan/status/1013380792188395520?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw July 1, 2018 Ya it was Adis bed but Adi and I were in one room.

Mistaking Meenakshi Seshadri for Farah Khan is definitely unexpected. And what was further unexpected was when Uday Chopra busted another belief that Farah has been holding true for years That she slept in Aditya Chopra s bed! While that was the end of that story, how could the bestie of Uday stop himself from commenting on his friends encounter. So Abhishek Bachchan too added his vishesh tipani of sorts during this twitter tattle. Abhishek post: ???????????????????????? typical Uday.

This is what Nargis Fakhri has to say about her marriage to Uday Chopra

4 May 2017

While getting involved in link-up rumours is a part and parcel of a Bollywood celebritys life, often the stars come out in the open to accept or clarify these speculations in order to avoid any more of gossip. Nargis Fakhri who recently became a victim of one such media speculation reacted as well as clearly asserted her point of view on social media. Couple of days ago, Nargis Fakhri was seen hiding her face from the paparazzi when she was spotted in the airport along with alleged beau Uday Chopra. While the latter was all smiles, Nargis made every attempt to cover her face. This only further sparked rumours about the two rekindling their alleged lost romance. Miffed with the continuous speculations about her love life and some of them even claiming about her marriage with Uday Chopra, Nargis Fakhri decided to put an end to all these speculative reports by responding to the same on social media. The actress posted, Wow u guys really love making stuff up. now who started this rumor. I think u r dying for me to marry someone. This is not the first time where the two have been linked up. Prior to this, there have been many reports about the two dating and even their alleged break-up. In fact, their social media chats often came under scrutiny when the two of them were seen posting and re-posting content. Although Nargis had earlier accepted that Uday is an integral part of her life she retained that he is only a friend. Nargis Fakhri who was seen in films like Azhar and Housefull 3 , will now be seen along with Rajkummar Rao in the film 5 Weddings.

The truth about Nargis Fakhri's departure

16 May 2016

Everyone has a theory on why Nargis Fakhri suddenly left the country. Here's the truth. Nargis just got tired of trying to be a Bollywood actress. Yes, she upped and left because she couldn't cope with the demands of 'Bollywood'.

Friends say they saw it coming. Her going, I mean. "It has nothing to do with Uday Chopra at all," opines a male colleague who has worked with Nargis. "It has to do with her inability to fit into the Bollywood mould. She is not a coy eyelashes- fluttering bosom-heaving siren. She is more of a guys' guy than a girl. She discusses her breasts and burps in the same breath. She is a misfit. She just got tired of being told to behave like a Bollywood diva." When in 2011 Nargis made her debut in Rockstar , she was clueless about what she was doing. Unlike Katrina that other firangi stunner in Bollywood, Nargis didn't pretend to know what she was doing. She very honestly confessed to me that saying those lengthy dialogues was like doing a whole film in Chinese.

Not much had changed three years later when did item songs in the Shahid Kapoor starrer Phata Poster Nikla Hero and in the Salman starrer Kick . She again honestly confessed to me that mastering those pelvic thrusts in the item songs were killing her. While fumbling to behave like a Bollywood queen Nargis also continued to say the most outrageous things in her interviews. Once she spoke without bashful stopovers, about her breasts. I pulled her up gently reminding her that Bollywood heroines don't talk like that.

"Really?" she responded with genuine bewilderment. "I guess I still need to learn how to behave." To change herself, to conform, to become coy seems impossible for Nargis. She finally took a break and went back home to New York to be with her mother. Whether this break will last a month, as her spokesperson claims, or last for as long as Parveen Babi's break lasted, remains to be seen.

But one thing is for sure. Nargis can never be the typical Bollywood diva. It's too much of an effort for her.

Coy hai kya?

Uday Chopra to make a biopic on Ingrid Bergman

12 Jun 2013

YRF Entertainment which is now all set to step into Hollywood, has joined hands with popular writer Arash Amel, of Grace of Monaco fame, and will be making a movie on the Hollywood star Ingrid Bergman. Known for her popular roles in movies like Gaslight, Casablanca and many more, Bergman has been an Academy winner thrice.

However, the YRF untitled will be based on the novel 'Seducing Ingrid Bergman' written by Chris Greenhaigh, which is the real life graphic love story of Bergman and war photographer Robert Capa, When asked Uday about keeping the love story of Bergman as the central plot, Uday said that Ingrid Bergman was an icon and her romance with war photographer Robert Capa is a story that needs to be told. He feels that it is a very moving story of a woman which also delivers a message that goes deeper than the life of just one woman.
