Don't mess with superstars
Deccan Chronicle | Latika Marri | September 21, 2015, 23.54 pm ISTShah Rukh Khan allegedly had a fall-out with Arjun Rampal, Honey Singh and Farah Khan. However, Farah has reconciled now
Bollywood has seen many stars rise to dizzying heights in a short time and fall in a similar fashion too. These were celebrities who were the life of every big project, but suddenly their careers were snuffed out. The reason " Fall-outs with their superstar buddies.
Many actors, who are suffering the aftereffects of defection, have learnt their lesson the hard way: If you mess with the superstars, you might as well say goodbye to your career.
We take a look at some of the names who have had to face the consequences of fall-outs with the big boys of Bollywood.
Arjun Rampal
At one time, Arjun was quite pally with Shah Rukh Khan and Karan Johar. Movies were coming his way and he was seen at all the big parties in B-town; but things changed for the worse when differences cropped up between SRK and him, which the superstar didn't appreciate. Since then, the roles have stopped and to add to his woes, the constant speculations regarding his alleged affair with Hrithik Roshan's former wife, Sussanne Khan, has left him stone cold with no respite to his troublesome career.
Yo Yo Honey Singh
Once no big-budget movie was complete without a Honey Singh number, but there's been total radio silence from the musician's end for the past few months. Apparently, the rapper has fallen out of favour with Shah Rukh and the industry is maintaining a safe distance from him while looking out for the next big music sensation.
Farah Khan
When SRK had refused to star in Tees Maar Khan, Farah vowed to never work with him again. After the film bombed and the infamous slapgate between SRK and her husband Shirish Kunder ens-ued, she had to profusely beg and plead her way back into her so-called maika in order to continue holding the title of the "most successful woman director" in the industry with another superhit Happy New Year.
Govinda
The most popular star of the '90s saw his career going down after a series of flops. Salman Khan resurrected Govinda's career with the 2007 hit Partner. Salman had even promised to launch Govinda's daughter Narmada. But after Dabangg went to another star kid, Sonakshi Sinha, all hell broke loose. However, Govinda's career has also been going nowhere.
Industry says...
Though Salman is known to make his displeasure quite evident in public, SRK does not follow the same modus operandi. Also, forgiveness doesn't seem to be these superstars' stronger points. Adman Prahlad Kakkar says, "Firstly, Honey Singh should undergo some classical music training before even thinking about singing. How can anyone ever listen to him? And apart from Rock On!!, Arjun has nothing to his name professionally. He's not a brilliant actor that the industry is missing out on. If you have pedigree and gumption to hang in there, you can succeed irrespective of fall-outs with anyone."
An industry source adds, "If you fall-out with a superstar, he will go out of his way to make sure that you don't get work. Moreover, women suffer the most. Every hero thinks a heroine is his property. However, a new generation of professional actors is coming up, hopefully, they will be above
petty politics and things will be different."
