Ram Gopal Varma talks about the underworld connection behind Salman Khan’s ‘Chori Chori Chupke Chupke’.

Ram Gopal Varma talks about the underworld connection behind Salman Khan's 'Chori Chori Chupke Chupke'

Chori Chori Chupke Chupke, a 2001 romantic drama directed by and starring Abbas-Mustan Salman Khan, Preity ZintaAnd Rani Mukherjee is often remembered for presenting one of Bollywood’s earliest portrayals of surrogacy, albeit in a flawed manner. However, beyond its story, the film is infamous for its unexpected ties to the Mumbai underworld, a connection of which its financier Bharat Shah initially had no knowledge. Recalling the events, the filmmaker Ram Gopal Vermawho co-produced ‘Dil Se..’ with Shah, shared how the project came to fruition. He shared during a conversation with Hussain Zaidi, “At one point of time, he (Bharat Shah) met a guy who told him that he had dates with Salman Khan. So, he said, ‘Okay, great.’ But since the guy did not have a film background and was not rich, Bharat Bhai called Salman,” Verma said. “Salman told him, ‘Yes, I have given her dates.’ This gave Bharat Bhai so much assurance that he gave the money and the film Chori Chori Chupke Chupke started,” he added.Things changed when Shah later learned that the film’s producer, Nazim RizviAllegedly had links with underworld kingpin Chhota Shakeel. Verma told about Shah’s mentality at that time. He said, “After some time they came to know that producer Nazim Rizvi has some connection with Chhota Shakeel. But they thought he was doing a legal business, and if the producer has any connection with the underworld, what difference does it make to them? He is not a criminal himself, but is just associated with a criminal.”The situation worsened when an unknown businessman from the film industry received an extortion call of Rs 5 crore. Desperate, he turned to Shah for help, hoping that Rizvi and Shakeel’s relationship could solve the problem. When contacted, the demand came down to Rs 2 crore.Soon, other personalities from the industry also started reaching out to Shah for similar assistance. Despite helping others, Shah was not benefiting financially from these interventions. “But he was not getting any money. He was just helping. But the police were tapping his phones,” Verma recalled, “He was trembling with shock and fear. The police suggested that perhaps Shakeel was working for you. So, Bharat Bhai said, ‘Why would he work for me? I am just a filmmaker.In 2001, both Shah and Rizvi were arrested by the Mumbai Police. Shah was convicted of failing to disclose Rizvi’s alleged underworld ties and sentenced to a year in jail. However, having already spent 14 months in custody during the trial, he was immediately released. Meanwhile Rizvi and his associate Mohd. abdul rahim Allahbaksh Khan was found guilty of maintaining links with the underworld and extorting money from members of the film industry. Each of them was fined Rs 15 lakh and sentenced to six years in jail.Before the controversy, Shah, who was also a prominent diamond merchant, was one of Bollywood’s most influential financiers. He supported major banners like Yash Raj FilmsDharma Productions, Dreamz Unlimited, and later Red Chillies Entertainment. His co-production credits include films like ‘Darr’, ‘Yes Boss’, ‘Dil Se..’, ‘Pukar’, ‘Devdas’ and ‘Main Hoon Na’, which include collaborations with filmmakers like Yash Chopra, Aziz Mirza, Mani Ratnam, Rajkumar Santoshi.

Rashid Khan rejected India’s citizenship offer, said – will play for Afghanistan

Afghanistan’s charismatic leg spinner Rashid Khan has revealed that he was offered citizenship and a chance to represent two countries, including India, but he refused and chose to remain loyal to his motherland.

The 27-year-old leg spinner, one of Afghanistan’s most influential cricketers, made this revelation in his upcoming book Rashid Khan: From Streets to Stardom, where he informally spoke about the possibility of switching allegiance during 2023. IPL Season.

Rashid is quoted in the book as saying, “I got such offers (citizenship and playing) from both Australia and India. But I told them, ‘If I don’t play for my country, I won’t play for any other country either.'”

Although he does not elaborate on the Australian approach, Rashid elaborates on the Indian proposal. At the time, he was playing in the IPL for Gujarat Titans when a team official informed him that “a high-ranking official of the Indian Cricket Board” wanted to meet him.

“I went to him and greeted him. We started talking and he said, ‘The situation in your country (Afghanistan) is very bad. Come and live in India. We will give you Indian documents, stay here, play cricket here.’ I was surprised by what he was saying and didn’t know how to respond. But I smiled and said, ‘Thank you very much.’ “I am playing for my country Afghanistan,” Rashid recalled.

This incident is not an isolated one. Rashid’s loyalty towards Afghanistan has made headlines beforeEspecially during his stint with Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2018. In a match against Kolkata Knight Riders, he produced a brilliant all-round performance, scoring 34 runs off 10 balls and turning the game around by taking three wickets.

The performance sparked a social media campaign in India, with fans urging the government to grant him citizenship. Many posts also tagged then External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj, who responded by saying that citizenship matters were handled by the Home Ministry.

The campaign also drew a strong reaction from Afghanistan’s then President Ashraf Ghani, who described Rashid as a matter of national pride and made it clear that the country would not abandon one of its most talented cricketing assets.

Rashid later thanked Ghani for his support and reiterated his commitment to Afghanistan, a stance he has consistently maintained despite opportunities to move elsewhere.

From the dusty streets of Nangarhar to becoming one of the most sought-after T20 players in the world, Rashid’s journey has reflected Afghanistan’s rise in international cricket. The book traces his path in detail, from being overlooked at the Afghanistan Under-19 trials to emerging as a global star and being named the ICC Player of the Decade in 2020.
