There have always been reports of underworld’s connection with Bollywood in the 90s. Recently, Anu Agarwal has also made a big revelation. The Aashiqui fame actress has told how the underworld don had a connection with Bollywood.
Recently, Anu Agarwal has revealed in a recent interview that Bollywood used to get funding from the underworld. They used to invest in films. This was done secretly. In a conversation with Pinkvilla, Anu Aggarwal called the film industry a dirty business. She said, “It was a dirty business.
I don’t know how dirty it is today. Back then, it was all under-the-table deals. It was ruled by people like Dawood Ibrahim. All the money that came into the film industry came from the underworld. It was a completely different scenario.”
In the same interview, Anu Agarwal told that after Aashiqui became a hit, she got stardom like Shah Rukh Khan. People used to come from other countries, that too just to see her building. The actress said, “At that time it was very difficult for me to roam around alone and stay alone.
My fans used to stand below my building. Luckily it was the building of an MLA-MP, so we had police protection.
It was crazy. People would come from other countries just to see my building, just like it happens to Shah Rukh Khan today. Shah Rukh is my neighbour and the same thing used to happen to me and I ran away from there.”
