Jackie Shroff openly admits he never planned on being an actor. In a resurfaced speech, the star recalled his chawl upbringing, saying filmmaker Subhash Ghai basically plucked him from obscurity to make him a hero.

Ananya Panday is skipping the party for a paperback this New Year's. The Bollywood actress posted a picture of herself starting a new book on the last day of the year, her hand holding the open pages with a pencil tucked in against a bright blue sky.
