Neha Dhupia recollects her 20 years old statement: “Either sex sells or Shah Rukh Khan”

Actor Neha Dhupia attracted headlines in 2004 when she asserted that "either sex sells or Shah Rukh Khan." She had mentioned that since Shah Rukh was not there in Julie (2004), the movie needed to contain love-making scenes and shots in response to a question about her doing intimate scenes. In the movie, which also starred Priyanshu Chatterjee and Sanjay Kapoor, Neha played a sex worker. After viewing Pathaan on Republic Day 2023, Neha re-examined her earlier statement on Shah Rukh and recently praised him on Twitter.  The actor responded to a Twitter follower on Saturday who commented on the success of Pathaan at the box office. She wrote, “Almost two decades back Neha Dhupia had given a statement 'only sex or Shah Rukh Khan sells' and that stays true even today!" In reaction to the tweet, Neha tweeted, “20 years on, my statement rings true. This is not an “actor's career” but a “king's reign”! #KingKhan @iamsrk.”  20 years on, my statement rings true. This is not an "actor's career" but a "King's reign"! #KingKhan @iamsrk https://t.co/TMgPzpJed4 — Neha Dhupia (@NehaDhupia) January 28, 2023 During an interview with The Times of India in 2004, Neha made the following statement, “Julie has love-making scenes and shots exposing my bare back... I'm not affected by the sex symbol tag. It doesn't bother me if people say I have overshadowed Mallika Sherawat and Bipasha Basu by exposing in Julie. In today's time, either sex sells or Shah Rukh Khan. So I would rather be a sex prop in my next five films.”  Neha had already taken to Twitter on Thursday to compliment Pathaan, Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone and John Abraham in a series of tweets. Neha shared a snapshot of a shirtless Shah Rukh from the action blockbuster, which was released in theatres throughout the world on January 25. She tweeted, “Shah Rukh, the love we have for you is hard to explain. Deepika Padukone, you set the screen on fire with your gaze and your kicks and tricks. John Abraham you make bad look so good! Salman Khan we would go back to the cinemas to watch the best cameo in history.

Selfiee star Akshay Kumar lauds PM Narendra Modi asking party workers to not comment on films to grab headlines; says, "He is India’s biggest influencer"

Akshay Kumar, who launched the trailer of Selfiee on Sunday, lauded Prime Minister Narendra Modi's remark who cautioned BJP leaders to not make unnecessary comments on movies, and personalities.

At the trailer launch of Selfiee on Sunday, Akshay Kumar was asked about PM Modi's remarks. He said, “Positivity is always welcome. And if our Prime Minister is saying something like this. He is India’s biggest influencer. If he is saying something and if things change it’ll be great for the industry. And why not, things should change, because we go through so much."

“We make films, go to the censor board, get them passed and then someone says something and phir gadbad ho jati hai (it becomes messy). But now that he’s said it, I think it’ll be better for us,” Akshay added.

In a recent development, the EOW filed a supplementary chargesheet in connection to the case. Meanwhile, Sukesh claimed that Nora was always jealous of Jacqueline.

As reported by NDTV, Sukesh, in a press statement issued through his lawyers Anant Malik and AK Singh, claimed that Nora Fatehi was always brainwashing him against Jacqueline Fernandez and that she wanted him to leave her and date Nora. “Nora used to try calling me at least 10 times a day and if I don't answer the call, she used to keep on calling me,” Sukesh claimed.

“As I and Jacqueline were in a serious relationship, I started avoiding Nora, but she kept irritating me by calling and also, asking me to help Bobby (Nora's relative) in setting up a music production company, which I did. She also kept sending me multiple pictures of Hermes bags and jewellery that she wanted, which I obliged by giving her, which she was using to date. Ask her to produce one bill of Hermes bags that she has, she can never produce as she does not have, as the bags are worth more than Rs. 2 crores,” claimed Sukesh. He also claimed that her statements have changed in front of the ED and EOD.

Sukesh further said that he only had professional relationships with actors Nikki Tamboli and Chahat Khanna as they were supposed to act in his producer banner LS Film. “I had no romantic association as news alleged by them, as their statement before the Enforcement Directorate, nine months ago was completely different which can be seen by media to certain if I am lying. So this new statement was given by them before EOW is only to save their skin and to grab publicity in the media. I have no fear to agree with the truth, but this new story is very funny after 9 months. I appeal to the media to verify the ED chargesheet statement and now the new EOW chargesheet statement which will clearly show how these two Nikki and Chahath are lying,” he said.

“I have to this very minute maintained dignity and respect for all those women and I don't want to stoop down to this cheap level of putting out all the chats, and screenshots in the open which would expose the truth in open, and which will assassinate their characters, but if this circus goes on then I have face to show, as they know, what all they have spoken or have had knowledge about,” he added.

"The statement given by the so-called witness actresses in the supplement chargesheet filed by the EOW, I am sure everyone has perceptions after reading the statements published on media, but, I would also mention a few things in my press statement here which will show how the so-called witness actress have lied and abused the process of law,” Sukesh said in his press statement on Saturday.

Nora Fatehi recently filed a case of defamation against Jacqueline Fernandez for allegedly making “defamatory imputations against her due to malicious reasons.” Besides that, the actress and reality show judge also sued at least 15 media organizations for making defamatory comments against her.
