AISHWARYA RAI'S ODD RELATIONSHIP WITH DIRECTOR SUBHASH GHAI: DARK SIDE OF BOLLYWOOD INDUSTRY

Hey everyone, welcome to SPLP. Let's talk about Aishwarya Rai's weird connection with Subhash Ghai, who is a director. And many famous actresses have revealed that this director has harassed and bullied them. So, I focused on the connection between Aishwarya Rai and Subhash Ghai when I saw Shakti Kapoor's Sting operation. In that, Aishwarya Rai, Subhash Ghai, Preeti Zinta, Rani Mukherjee are taking many famous names. And he was hinting that they also had to compromise. Now, Aishwarya Rai did this film with Subhash Ghai. He was the director of this film. Also, when I saw these film's photoshoots, I saw a weird thing. That actors are posing together. That is understood. But what is Subhash Ghai doing in between them? Well, it is also understood that in some photos, the director is posing. But in this case, it is weird because he is standing in the middle and he was holding Aishwarya from behind. This is not something that Sehrami directors used to do. It is not done even today. See, for posters, there used to be a photoshoot between the actors. They used to pose in a weird way. But you should see the photos of this specific film sometime. Main actors have been put aside. Even when the film was being shot, certain photos were taken at the location which were not needed. Where again, Subhash Ghai is holding Aishwarya. Tal, this film was released in the year 1999. And Subhash Ghai is almost 30 years older than Aishwarya. Which means, he must be 26 years old at that time. And the director was 56 years old. So, clearly, after seeing this photo, the question arises that what are you doing by putting Anil Kapoor and Akshay Khanna aside? This is very creepy. And later on, Subhash Ghai gave certain interviews where he was portraying Aishwarya in a negative limelight. That she becomes very aggressive when it comes to work. Other actresses put her aside. Even in Josh film, he did the same. He reduced the scene of the other lead actress. He put her aside. And majority scenes were between Aishwarya S R K and Chandra Shoor. Now, in the film industry, there are many creepy directors and producers. We have talked about certain moments in the past. In today's era, if there was any such sting operation, then people would brutally call out that director, producer or any actor. But earlier, the era was such that directors and producers had power. Silently, they would remove all the articles. They would easily whitewash their own image. And they would put pressure on each other in the group. That they should not come forward and speak against anyone. Then, let's talk about the behavior of Subhash Ghai. So, Mahima Chaudhary, who is a beautiful actress, whose Bollywood journey, Pardes, started with this film. She has come forward and talked about many things. So, Pardes, this film was also made by Subhash Ghai. He had launched Mahima Chaudhary in the industry. But later on, Mahima realized that Subhash wanted to control her. In one interview, Mahima revealed that how Subhash Ghai bullied her in a bad way. Again, like Aishwarya, Mahima was 30 years younger than this director. She was in her 20s and was making her career. But Subhash was against her. He called the other director and producer of the industry and said that he should not include Mahima in his film. In a way, this was an order. Do not cast her at all. And the limit was reached when this man decided to run an ad. He put an ad in a magazine In a way, he was showing his power through this ad. And clearly saying that if you cast Mahima, then I am not going to work with you. Also, Mahima clarified that the claim made in the ad, breach of contract, was false. Because no such contract was made that he will have to take permission from her. This director was only 52 years old. And even at that point, he was behaving like this. Clearly, power was being misused here. Then, we saw a similar pattern with Manisha Koirala. She debuted through Subhash Ghai's film. But after that, as much as possible, Manisha avoided working with him. Many years later, it is said that Manisha Koirala's mother told that this director is trying to push her daughter towards the casting couch. Also, in certain articles, it was also written that when there was a meeting in Vanity Van, then Subhash Ghai used to go alone inside and told Manisha's mother to stand outside. And this behavior did not seem proper to the actress's mother. And if you see, her points are also valid. Now, years ago, Subhash Ghai had also given a statement on Rekha Ji. See, Rekha Ji has done many problematic things. We have discussed about it. But the problem was not that she was being called out for this. The problem here is mainly that only she was targeted. The same treatment was not given to the male actors who were having an affair despite being married. Didn't they have guts? Anyways, when Rekha got married, after some time, she separated from her husband. And sadly, then her husband killed himself. And there was a note in which it was written, Don't blame anyone. Now, because of all this, Rekha Ji was very controversial in that era. And in that same era, Subhash Ghai gave a statement where he said, Rekha has put such a blot on the face of the film industry that it will be difficult to wash it away easily. I think after this, any respectable family will think twice before accepting any actress as their daughter-in-law. It is going to be tough even professionally for her. No conscientious director, meaning careful director, will work with her ever again. How will the audience accept her as Bharat ki Nari, Insaaf ki Devi? So, Subhash Ghai was very worried in that era that Bharat ki Nari, Insaaf ki Murat. Such standards should be maintained by female actresses. And morally correct decisions should be taken. He is teaching good things. But here, I would like to ask a question. Why don't they hold themselves to the same standards? Desh ka marat ya desh ka nar. With proper ethics. Which doesn't exploit others. Why don't they inculcate such behavior in themselves? If the same standards are applied to them, then why would any ethical actress work with them? Or why would any respectable family want to make them their son-in-law? Again, if someone is calling out Rekha Ji here, I am not defending that point. The main intention here is to highlight hypocrite behavior. That whatever the directors and producers do, that is fine. But they will set standards for others. In a recent video, I touched on this topic. How an old generation gets happy when you show off your respect and pretend to be good. No matter how messed up you are in reality, if you show off, they will praise you. They will like you. Also, in a phase, if you look at the list of directors and producers, that everyone has done weird things in front of the camera. Boney Kapoor, Mahesh Bhatt, Ram Gopal Verma, these people were controlling the industry. I don't understand. Do they not understand the concept of personal space? Because we have seen many such videos where they are being inappropriate. Boney Kapoor touching Urvashi Rautela. Or when he was handling another actress in a weird way to pose. Why would you do all this? Mahesh Bhatt leans on others during interviews. He puts his own weight. Or if he is meeting someone for the first time, he goes very close to them and talks. And look at Ram Gopal Verma's party videos. Creepy way he is behaving there. And guess what? No one has ever taken a firm stand against all this behavior. Some people may ask now that all this has happened with so many famous actresses. Still, why wasn't all this taken seriously? Again, it's about power here. These directors and producers were so powerful that if someone said anything about them or if someone spoke against them in their circle, they would lash out in such a bad way that the other person would feel a little pressurized and scared. And imagine if Subhash Ghai was doing this openly, targeting actresses, then behind the curtains, his behavior would be so bad. And no wonder Mahima Chaudhary and Manisha Koirala didn't work with him much. Even Mahima Chaudhary was selected for Satya. But because of Subhash Ghai's behavior, he was replaced from there as well. And he was replaced from many other films as well because Subhash Ghai was against him. So it's clear here that the actors and actresses who didn't give the director control didn't shake hands with him. They were harassed. In that era, Madhuri Dixit was Subhash Ghai's favorite. And that's when Subhash Ghai's behavior was seen. Many people wondered why he favored Madhuri so much. Also, in between, certain statements of models and actresses were also seen. Such cases came up where they also mentioned worse things. Now, before proceeding, let's give a disclaimer that here I am not stating who this case was about, but yes, there are certain stories where it was said that they were called for a meeting. Then, certain things were asked to be done to them. They were asked to give massages. And in some cases, it was written that they were forcefully kissed. Now, I am not highlighting these cases properly because these were all just accusations. The case didn't move forward. Some people didn't file the case. Whereas, the person who filed the case took the case back later on because of which we won't discuss it in depth. But yes, Mahima Chaudhary was very vocal. And that too, when her career was going on in the industry, she didn't reveal all this. Already, when she was established, many years after that, she gave this statement because of which her statement is considered credible. Reason being, at that point, she didn't have any advantage Just that she was keeping her side that how badly she was treated. Plus, Aishwarya and Subhash Ghai's photos are clearly visible. So, yeah, that's it for this video. Do let me know what you have to say about Subhash Ghai's behavior. And if you want, you can follow us on Instagram. You will find the link in the description.
