Veteran actor Shekhar Suman took a trip down memory lane and recalled a fun interaction with dacoit turned politician Phoolan Devi.

Speaking exclusively to IANS, he shared that when he asked the ‘Bandit Queen’ who had taken so many lives, who she was scared of, she admitted that she was, in fact, scared of him and his ‘fiery’ questions.

When asked if he ever got nervous talking to anyone, Shekhar Suman denied.

Sharing his experience of a memorable interaction with Phoolan Devi, Shekhar Suman told IANS, “When she came and sat, even her feet were not touching the ground.”

Pointing this out, Shekhar Suman had asked her, “Even your feet are not touching the ground, so how did you use to sit on a horse, holding a rifle in one hand, you are the bandit queen”.

The Dekh Bhai Dekh actor recalled that as Phoolan Devi stared at him, he went ahead and asked her, “You have shot so many people, are you afraid of anyone?”

To this, Phoolan Devi had hilariously replied, “You, you fire at me”.

The rebellious tale of Phoolan Devi, of turning from a child bride to a dacoit to a politician, was beautifully captured on screen by filmmaker Shekhar Kapur in his 1994 biographical drama Bandit Queen.

With Seema Biswas playing the title character, the much-acclaimed movie also stars Nirmal Pandey, Aditya Srivastava, Gajraj Rao, Saurabh Shukla, Manoj Bajpayee, Raghuvir Yadav, Rajesh Vivek, and Anirudh Agarwal in crucial roles, along with others.

During the conversation, Shekhar Suman also remembered his interview with the late politician Bal Thackeray.

Shekhar Suman shared that once Bal Thackeray called him to praise his show, and sensing an opportunity, he ended up inviting him for an interview.

“After doing the interview, he said, ‘It was a lot of fun, do one more’, so I said, ‘Sir, we don’t have another costume’. He replied, ‘Let’s do it in this’. So that is a very memorable moment for me,” recalled Shekhar Suman.

Soha Ali Khan, who wrote the book The Perils of Being Moderately Famous, shared intimate details of her family dynamics in a recent chat with Yuvaa. Soha, who shares a cordial relationship with her brother Saif Ali Khan and sister-in-law Kareena Kapoor, shared who she turns to for different kinds of advice in her daily life.

During the recent chat with Yuvaa, Soha said that she goes to ‘Bhabhi’ Kareena for gossip, while brother Saif offers a balanced perspective on relationships.

“I go to bhai (Saif) for relationship advice because I don’t have too many male friends anymore. So I feel like getting a male perspective, because he’s always, not on Kunal’s side, but speaks from that lens,” Soha shared.

It’s no longer a secret that Kareena Kapoor loves gossip.

“She doesn’t gossip, but she has the most irrelevant information about people you would never think of crossing her mind. But she is incredibly observant and must be on some pretty special WhatsApp group that I would love to join,” Soha said about Kareena.

Crediting husband Kunal Kemmu for being a calming influence during parenting meltdowns, Soha joked that he also shares styling tips with her without being asked.

No points for guessing who has taken the seat of style consultant for Soha right now. It’s her 8-year-old daughter Inaaya.

Soha, who loves sharing famjam posts with her fans, recently celebrated Saba Pataudi’s 50th birthday with Saif and Kareena.

“A little belated but worth the wait – happy birthday, Apa,” Soha captioned the wholesome images.

In terms of work, Soha was last seen in the 2025 film Chhorii 2, which also featured Nushrratt Bharuccha. The film received mixed reviews from critics and audiences. It is available to watch on Prime Video. Soha has been busy with her podcast, All About Her.
