Sooraj Barjatya Admits to Being a ‘Selfish’ Director: ‘I Made My Actresses Cry, Especially Bhagyashree’ | Bollywood Shenanigans

Hello, Bollywood ke deewano! It’s your favorite gossip queen, Khabree Kiran, back with another juicy scoop from tinsel town. Today, let’s dive into the world of a filmmaker who knows how to make his heroines cry—literally! 😜

Sooraj Barjatya: The Cry-Maker Director?

Sooraj Barjatya, the man who gave us all those sanskari family dramas, has finally made his grand entrance into the OTT universe with his latest series, Bada Naam Karenge. But before you start thinking he’s all about love and mushy stuff, let me spill the beans. This director saab once had a knack for making his heroines shed tears. Yep, you heard it right! In a recent chit-chat with Komal Nahta on his YouTube show Game Changers, Sooraj went all "confession mode" and called himself a ‘selfish director’.

Bhagyashree, the Unsung Heroine of Tears

Picture this: A young Sooraj Barjatya, on the sets of Maine Pyaar Kiya, yelling and shouting like there’s no tomorrow. Poor Bhagyashree was at the receiving end of his temper tantrums. Sooraj admits, "I made a lot of heroines cry. You can ask Bhagyashree." Arre wah, Sooraj ji, kya baat hai! 😅 But fear not, because he has now realized that love and calm (shanti aur pyaar) are the true keys to success. Still, the man prepares like a soldier going to battle, reading his narrations 200 times. Matlab, full-on OCD mode!

The Secret Behind the Long Gaps

As for why his films take forever to release, he spills the beans, "As a director, I am very selfish because I don’t want to start until I am ready." Now, that’s some dedication, Sooraj ji! Also, he doesn’t really care about the numbers, imagining himself as some kind of rebel in the industry. Aisa hai, he needs every dialogue, every costume, every prop perfectly aligned before he yells "action".

From Big Screens to OTT Dreams

Let’s not forget the man’s legacy. He made his directorial debut with the blockbuster Maine Pyaar Kiya, starring Bhagyashree and Salman Khan, and continued to give us gems like Hum Aapke Hain Koun..! and Vivah. Now, he’s dabbling in the OTT world with SonyLIV’s original drama series, Bada Naam Karenge, featuring a talented ensemble cast. The series promises to be a roller-coaster ride of emotions across generations.

Kiran’s Gyan: Bollywood mein sabr ka phal meetha hota hai. Sooraj ji ne toh ye baat sabit kar di! Whether it’s making heroines cry or making us laugh and cry with his movies, patience and preparation are key in B-town. But Sooraj ji, thoda chill maro, na? Let’s leave some tears for the movies, okay? 😂
