Samay lied to us :(

I dont remember where but i remember reading somewhere he had written some message to someone saying the next season of latent would be EVEN MORE raw than the first one and how he wanted to "double down" or whatever as an act of rebellion against the controversy or whatever. Sab kuch hawa Thi. Line mein aagaya and now he is netflix ka naukar and stooge dancing to their tunes like a monkey. He either sold his soul and the soul of the show for money, or he chickened out and caved to netflix pressure. Samay was SO unfunny here. Almost felt like he was some random guy with another job jisko timepass ke liye panel pe Bulaya. He wasn't funny at all and was trying so hard. :(

Hot take : Alia and Shraddha can both take a hike

Everyone knows how they are fighting to compete because their movies release together. They've been playing dirty and spreading shit about each other through PR. Truth is, both are Going to flop.

Both these women have fathers who are known to gave mistreated actresses in the industry and these 2 women have quietly played along and have said nothing about casting couch in the industry.

They have benefitted from this because the competition reduces when hundreds of talented girls refuse to cave to casting couch and go home. The roles are easier for nepos to get.

I say we chuck them. Time for a new gen of actresses.

Tea on Shanaya Kapoor

I know a makeup artist in the industry. Apparently it's well known in inside circles that Shanaya Kapoor was regularly compared to the character 'Supandi'. Even in her school days people used to joke about it. Especially when standing next to ananya she would become very conscious of it. She finally became so insecure that she may have undergone surgery to change the look of her chin.

Tbh body shaming is never ok, but when we have all heard how she and that whole gang of nepo girls has treated kids from modest families...its hard to not laugh a bit.

Tea on a famous model

Tea on a famous model

I heard this from one of her close friends. A very famous indian model wannabe actress whos known for her extremely bold clothing has been going through a rough patch personally. She comes from a pretty grounded typical Indian family and her relatives have been quite vocal with their criticism about the way that she dresses. Apparently her aunt whos daughter was getting married last year, openly called up this model's mom and directly asked her to make sure that this model wears "decent'" fully covered clothing at the wedding. Her mom responded angrily that her daughter only wears that when she is modeling or doing some brand promotion and does not walk around wearing that stuff normally. The model started crying when her mom shared this with her and has cut off most of her relatives. Her parents have also stayed strong behind her but have faced deep criticism and ridicule with all sorts of rumours about how this model 'really' makes money. Her cousins are quite supportive though. Her career has been slumping lately and she's been regretting her career choices. She is afraid she cannot turn back now.

This is something I heard from someone else so I have NOT confirmed it. Thats why im keeping it blind and protecting the identity of this model. Shes pretty famous though

Tea on a famous director

Tea on a famous director

There are mild rumours of a director whos going thru a career slump right now trying to get a well known comedian to work with him by taking advantage of his vulnerability. This director tried wooing this comedian once before but nothing came of it. The comedian is, behind closed doors, going thru a potential career downturn and has been doing insane levels of PR over the week to keep his career afloat. This director wants to jump at the opportunity and collaborate.

Its not known yet what will happen but dont be surprised if you see a collaboration soon.

This is not verified, I heard this from someone who works in licensing of movies and media.

Garam chai on Kriti Sanon boyfriend fiasco

Im close to someone who regularly hangs out in bollywood nepo circles. Kabir's photo in that party with that other woman was defended as "family friend whos like a sister". But it turns out that Kriti isnt happy about it and she has a new film that just came out so they dont want any messy drama during the movie promo phase. Literally NOBODY except teenagers will agree that men will hug a woman like that because she's "like his sister". Men barely even do that with their ACTUAL sisters. My source said that she has met kriti and she got deep insecurity vibes from her..so she might make up lies for her boyfriend just to not face the humiliation of being cheated on. Losing your boyfriend to another woman is a very bad look for an actress and makes her seem less desirable so they are keeping the reality under wraps during the film release phase.

Expect news of a break up after a few weeks.

.

This is not verified but the person who told me is unlikely to lie because they are very well connected.

Alia Bhatt's Era is over. She began as a bad actor and eventually became a great one through both , nepo help and personal effort. But now shes done something weird to her face..and I think she's done.

If you have to go on Samay Raina's show for promo.....you must be very desperate....

Garam Tea on a famous comedian

I heard this directly from one of their family members. Apparently this comedians public behaviour has caused his parents to disown him. His mother had a mental breakdown due to the public shaming the family has had to endure over the years due to their sons behaviour and they shifted houses twice. They have finally given up And have stopped speaking with him. Some serious drama went down earlier this year at a family get together where his dad slapped him in front of some 50 relatives. That was the last straw. Apparently his aunts and uncles check in on him from time to time but he has started living a pure hedonistic rock and roll type lifestyle.

Im not mentioning his name, purely to protect my source's identity. This is not verified tea by me personally, but the source is very legit.

Thoughs on maturity of Indian comedy

Dont you guys think the standard of comedy in india is at new lows? Some of these comedians have built their entire comedy careers off of cracking jokes that wr used to laugh at in 9th standard. I can't believe full fledged adults used to pay for this stuff. In school, the most non padhaku popular bad boy backbencher would say some gaali and everyone would laugh and cheer. Why the heck are full on 30 year olds still enjoying this?

Garam Chaha on Subodh Bhave

This is not verified but my source is quite legit. An arts student I know scheduled an interview with Subodh Bhave where he was going to answer some of her questions about his career. She was going to publish the interview in a local magazine. They spoke on call 4 times before the interview and he promised that he would be there and even asked her to send her questioms before hand.. When she arrived on his set at the time they had agreed on ,she was informed that he had already left. She had traveled from Satara to Pune for this interview. She was devastated and decided to have tea at a small tea stall near the set and to her shock subodh bhave was sitting there chewing ghutka and spitting on the road. When she approached him and told him who she was he started speaking to her in a very rough tone and said a few marathi sexist gaalis. He also smelled like alcohol.

Do NOT take these marathi stars seriously. They are ungrateful jerks who dont give a damn about their audience and patrons.

Serious garam Tea on Abhishek Bachchan and Nimrat Kaur

Ok so this is not verified. I heard this from a friend who works in hotel management at a very luxurious hotel in Agra. During the shooting of Dasvi, Abhishek and Nimrat were staying at this hotel with the rest of the cast. An entire staff team at the hotel was given the dedicated responsibility of taking care of the cast and my friend and his colleague used to make several late night food deliveries to Abhisheks room. They saw Nimrat kaur in there several times at night and the two would often be together in the jacuzzi alone sitting VERY close to eachother. She has a high pitched laugh and my friend said she was going over and above to laugh at every joke Abhishek cracked.

During this period Aishwarya rai was busy with her mom who was sick and Abhishek would often talk loudly on calls Inquiring about his mother in law's health. Aishwarya and Jaya Bachchan joined them in Agra to be a part of the crew's celebration on the last day of shooting and the next day they all flew out. One week later, Aishwaryas manager came to the hotel and started making a lot inquiries and asking investigative questions about Abhishek and what he was doing at the hotel during his stay.

The entire hotel crew was talking about it because nobody was sure whether to give real info or not.

My friend said that Abhishek and Aishwarya both were otherwise extremely friendly with the hotel crew and tipped everyone well. Nimrat was also quite chill.

Again this is something that I heard from my friend and I have NOT personally verified this.

Fresh Tea on Sachin Tendulkar

I know someone who knew Sachin Tendulkars manager many years ago. Apparently he has some townhouse in some scenic location in India. He would tell his wife that he had to go for an advertisement shoot and end up going to that townhouse where he was regularly spotted with an Insanely (i won't name her, but i mean INSANELY) famous actress who is a few years older than him. His wife knew something was up but chose to look the other way. His manager also had to handle a few gynaecologist appointments over the years and none of them were for his wife.

​

His daughter is completely messed up And even tried to run away from home a few times.

​

This is tea that I heard from someone close to his manager so I have NOT PERSONALLY verified it.

Garam Tea on Alia Bhatt

My friend has connections with someone who works on sets. Apparently Alia is insanely jealous of shraddha kapoor and much of it has to do with RKs affair with Shraddha. Shes been bad mouthing her non stop and is doing everything possible to ensure her upcoming film is a bigger hit than shraddhas. She even went on Samay Rainas show to promote her movie and was actually in no mood to do it due to the samay raina controversy but she is desperate. Even Mahesh Bhatt has been quite bitter about the affair and is not on talking terms with Shakti Kapoor
