During last weekend’s major Bollywood-backed fundraiser for Covid relief, many viewers noticed that a few prominent stars were missing from the lineup.

Among them was a well-known, physically imposing superstar who had reportedly been invited to join the event but declined. Word is, his decision was influenced by the involvement of a former manager with whom he had a bitter professional split years ago.

Sources suggest he was unwilling to be publicly linked to an initiative so closely tied to her. Instead, he chose a more private route—teaming up with actor and model friends he has been isolating with to film a video distributing large quantities of food supplies to families in need.

Also absent was a leading actress who, by reputation, tends to avoid multi-star platforms where attention is shared rather than centered on her.

Meanwhile, there’s chatter that a few actors felt overlooked for not being included.

One younger performer, known for his strong acting ability, is said to be particularly disappointed at not receiving an invitation.

Guess:
Superstar- Salman
A-List Actress- Deepika
