Hamari Love Marriage Thi, Lekin...” Poonam Dhillon Gets Candid About Her Personal Journey
13th June 2026, Mumbai: On Tum Ho Naa, Host Rajeev Khandelwal in conversation with Poonam Dhillon asks her about her challenges and struggles, Rajeev says, “Aapko dekh kar lagta hai ki jitni bhi ladkiyan hain, sab aapko dekhkar inspire hoti hongi. Lekin main koshish karta hoon ki jab bhi koi public figure yahan aata hai, toh kam se kam yeh zaroor samjhe ki hum sab normal hi hote hain. Hamare challenges bhi hote hain, shayad kabhi-kabhi thode bade challenges hote hain kyunki hum public limelight mein hote hain.” (Looking at you, it feels like all the girls must be inspired by you. But whenever a public figure comes here, I try to ensure that people understand at least this much, that we are all normal human beings. We have our challenges too, and sometimes perhaps even bigger challenges because we live in the public spotlight.)
Poonam says, “Jab aap ek celebrity ya public figure hote hain aur Monday to Friday ya Monday to Sunday kaam kar rahe hote hain, toh aapko bahut kam logon se milne ka mauka milta hai. Half the people aapko aise dekhte hain ki ‘yeh toh meri pahunch ke bahar hai,’ aur aadhe log sochte hain ‘film stars aise hi hote hain.’ Dono situations mein aapki ek alag image ban jaati hai.” (When you are a celebrity or public figure and are working from Monday to Friday, or Monday to Sunday, you get very few opportunities to meet people. Half the people look at you as if ‘this person is beyond my reach,’ and the other half think, ‘film stars are just like that.’ In both situations, a different image of you gets created.)
Then more to it Poonam adds, “Mere case mein bhi aisa hi hua tha. Hum bahut kam logon se mil paate the. Mere parents bahut strict the. Mujhe apni age ke logon se milne ya date karne ki permission nahi thi. Actor banne ke baad bhi actors mujhe friend nahi maante the. Agar koi group movie dekhne ka plan banata tha toh mujhe kaha jaata tha, “No, you are not allowed to go.” (The same happened in my case. We could meet very few people. My parents were very strict. I was not allowed to meet or date people of my own age. Even after becoming an actor, other actors did not consider me a friend. If a group planned to go watch a movie together, I would be told, ‘No, you are not allowed to go.’)
Then talking about strict upbringing Poonam says, “Mujhe lagta hai strict upbringing achhi hoti hai, lekin aaj main parents se kahungi ki bachchon ko thoda sa mauka dijiye. Unhe thoda udne dijiye, explore karne dijiye, taaki woh sahi decisions lena seekh sakein. Agar hum unhe bahut zyada protect karenge toh unka worldview bahut restricted ho jaata hai.” (I think a strict upbringing is good, but today I would tell parents to give their children a little opportunity. Let them spread their wings a little, let them explore, so that they can learn to make the right decisions. If we protect them too much, their worldview becomes very restricted.)
Then Poonam shares, “Meri life bhi kaam se ghar aur ghar se kaam tak seemit thi. Main bahut logon se nahi mil paayi. Mere husband Ashok bahut achhe insaan hain. Main aaj bhi unki burai nahi karungi kyunki woh genuinely a nice human being hain. Lekin har do achhe log ek achha couple ban jaayein, zaroori nahi hai. Shaadi sirf do achhe logon ke saath hone se nahi chalti. Bahut saari cheezein match honi chahiye – upbringing, attitude, education, values. Jab yeh sab compatible nahi hota, toh journey mushkil ho jaati hai.” (My life too was limited to work and home, and home and work. I was not able to meet many people. My husband Ashok is a very good human being. Even today I will not speak ill of him because he is genuinely a nice human being. But it is not necessary that every two good people will make a good couple. A marriage does not work simply because two good people are together. Many things need to match upbringing, attitude, education, values. When all of these are not compatible, the journey becomes difficult.)

rEALLY special when other women feel inspired and empowered" – JEMIMAH RODRIGUES ON ALIA BHATT AND SHARVARI'S WISHES
As Team India set their sights on lifting their maiden ICC Women’s T20 World Cup title, two heroes of their ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2025 triumph, Jemimah Rodrigues and Shafali Verma, received special wishes from Bollywood actors Alia Bhatt and Sharvari. Speaking to JioStar, Alia and Sharvari praised the duo for their achievements and impact on women’s cricket, with both players expressing their heartfelt gratitude.
Speaking to JioStar, Alia Bhatt hailed Jemimah Rodrigues’ record-breaking knock against Australia in the semi-final of the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2025:
“Jemimah, the world knows about your innings against Australia. That knock was too spectacular, beyond words. I am sure that day, you inspired countless young girls. Just be yourself and we’ll be winning too.”
Speaking to JioStar, Sharvari shared her favourite moment from Jemimah’s semi-final knock:
“The biggest moment for me was when you didn't celebrate your personal milestone and just kept going. You kept your head on your shoulders, your feet on the ground, and kept playing. You celebrated only when India won. That moment was truly special. Wishing you lots of love and the very best of luck for everything that lies ahead.”
Reacting to Alia and Sharvari’s message, Jemimah said:
“It's really special when other women feel inspired and empowered. In the same way, you keep working hard in your own career, no matter what field you are in, you can always be the best. I think you all have inspired me a lot more. Let's continue to share this hope with everyone around us.”
Speaking to JioStar, Alia Bhatt also reflected on Shafali Verma’s remarkable journey:
“Shafali, today you are one of the most loved and celebrated Indian cricketers. But I want you to take a moment and remember that little girl who dedicated her life to cricket and, at just 15, made her big breakthrough. It is because of who you are today and what you bring to women's cricket and the Indian team that so many young girls will never be able to thank you enough. Go, smash it!
Speaking to JioStar, Sharvari commended Shafali for her knock in the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2025 Final:
“For me, the biggest moment was when you joined the team last year and delivered when it mattered most. It was one of the best performances I've seen and so inspiring. So, thank you. We love you so much, and best of luck.”
Reacting to Alia and Sharvari’s messages, Shafali expressed:
“Thank you for this sweet message. Alia Bhatt is one of my favourite actresses, so thank you for your kind words. I will always remember this. Thanks to both of you.”

Madhuri Dixit Recalls Her Days in JB Nagar, Says Happiness Doesn’t Depend on Having Everything
12th June 2026, Mumbai: The upcoming episode of India’s Best Dancer Season 5 on Sony Entertainment Television, celebrating India Wala Dance, will witness an emotional and nostalgic moment as Madhuri Dixit, who will be seen portraying her character in Maa Behen, reflects on her childhood, family values, and journey to stardom after being shown a special video celebrating her life and career. Moved by the tribute, Madhuri shared heartfelt memories from her growing-up years in Mumbai’s JB Nagar, speaking about the close-knit community, simple joys, and the lessons that continue to shape her outlook on life.
Responding to host Harsh Limbachiyaa's request to look back on her journey, Madhuri first reminisced about the warmth and togetherness that defined her childhood neighbourhood.
Madhuri Dixit stated, “Itni saari memories hain. I was growing up, jo neighbours the woh bhi family members hua karte the. Kisi ke ghar mein khana khana hai, hamare ghar mein aa jaate the. Hum bacche kisi ke ghar mein chale jaate the, ‘Aunty, aap pakode banaiye, aapke bahut pasand hain humein.’ Woh jo relationships the, amazing the. Kyunki ab aise gharon mein rehte hain jahan pata bhi nahi hota aapke neighbours kaun hain. Ek family jaisa atmosphere tha JB Nagar mein, woh bahut kamaal ka tha. Bacche saath khelte bhi the, pitte bhi the saath mein sab log. It was amazing.”
Reflecting on the carefree days of her childhood, Madhuri spoke about finding happiness in the simplest things and the strong sense of community that surrounded her growing up.
She further added, “Kuch tha nahi zyada hamare paas, lekin khushi bahut thi tab bhi and we used to be so happy all the time. Ek building mein baarah-terah bacche the, saath mein doosri building mein se sab mila ke tees bacche ek saath khelte the. Mummy ko pata bhi nahi tha hum log sab kahan hain. Daant padti thi ghar aake, ‘Kahan chale jaate ho, batate bhi nahi ho."
Actress Madhuri also looked back at the beginnings of her dance journey and the life changing years that followed as her career took off.
Madhuri shared, “Dance maine wahan shuru kiya tha pehle. Main jab teen saal ki thi, wahi pe JB Nagar mein dance school tha. Dance karna shuru kiya. Itni saari memories hain wahan. Meri pehli film jab release huyi, Abodh, tab bhi hum wahan the. Tezaab ke baad phir hum log nikle wahan se kyunki wahan security nahi thi, toh phir baad mein mushkil hone lagi. After Tezaab, koi bhi aa jaata tha ghar pe. ‘Madam ne bulaya humko,’ suitcase saara leke aa gaye the.”
Ending on a deeply personal note, Madhuri explained how her upbringing continues to influence the way she views success, happiness, and life itself.
She concluded, “Lekin aaj bhi main JB Nagar ke baare mein sochti hoon, khushi ka ek feeling aata hai, ek smile aata hai. I am from a very lower middle class family, lekin phir bhi hum bahut khush the. People ask me, ‘Success hai aapka itna, aap itne down to earth kyun hain?’ Kyunki maine bola ki mujhe pata hai ki kuch nahi ho toh bhi you can be happy. Aur aaj hai sab kuch toh khush hain, toh khushi hai, lekin nahi hai bhi toh kya hai usmein? Khushi toh apne upar hoti hai. We should always be happy, always be respectful and always enjoy life. Don’t change anything else.”
Madhuri Dixit’s heartfelt reflections left everyone emotional, serving as a reminder that true happiness comes not from material success, but from the relationships, values, and memories that stay with us throughout our lives.
