Reema Kagti scolded Aamir Khan for 4-5 hours for landing up late on Talaash sets; actor had gone to attend Sachin Tendulkars party: She hasnt let me forget about it till today

The Dil Chahta Hai Reunion happened on August 28 at a suburban hotel in Mumbai. It was organized by Amazon Music and We Are Yuva. The event saw almost the entire team of the film Aamir Khan, Saif Ali Khan, Dimpla Kapadia, Sonali Kulkarni, Farhan Akhtar, Ritesh Sidhwani, Javed Akhtar, Shankar Mahadevan, Ehsaan Noorani and Loy Mendonsa get nostalgic on its 25 iconic years. During the course of the discussion, Aamir funnily recalled that filmmaker Zoya Akhtar, who was the first AD (assistant director) on the film, once had a high temper and he advised her to cool down. While discussing her, Aamir said that he is still working on toning down the anger of filmmaker Reema Kagti, who was also an AD on Dil Chahta Hai and present at the event.Aamir recalled an incident, which he now looks at in a funny way, when Reema got extremely angry on him during the shoot of their film Talaash (2012). Aamir said, I was shooting with her for Talaash. I am a huge fan of Sachin Tendulkar. He was retiring. And Sachin and I are close friends. He is a national icon. Sachin said, Its my retirement party, so please do come. I told him that I will definitely be there. That night we were shooting for Talaash; Ballard Pier, night shoot. I know how Reema is. I said, Reema, this is a very important occasion. Sachin is retiring. I have to go and I will be late by one hour. She was seething inside but she said, Theek hai, come one hour late. However, Aamir couldnt leave the party on time as Sachin wanted him to wait. Aamir recalled, Sachin said, Please wait, I am waiting for someone to come and I want you to speak (to that person). I could not explain to him that Reema is on the other end. So I thought, Aaj Reema se daant kha lenge. Sachin Tendulkar ke liye itna bhi chalega. Although Aamir was expecting to get scolded by Reema, he was still unpleasantly surprised by how she reacted. Aamir said, Shabana (Azmi, who was also present at the event), she has not let me forget about it till today. She fired me for some 4-5 hours. (She said), How dare you come late? Is this your professionalism? Itna mujhe sunaya Javed sahab (referring to Javed Akhtar). I am still working on her (anger). We are getting there. It seems Aamir mixed up Sachins retirement party with the 2011 World Cup celebration party. Sachins retirement party happened soon after he retired in November 2013 while Talaash released in November 2012. The films shoot was wrapped up in November 2011. Hence, Aamir must be shooting for Talaash in April 2011 when the World Cup bash happened, as was evident from the look he had when he was in the stadium for the final match.

Tata arm seeks bigger private sector role in nuclear power, says CEO

Tata Consulting Engineers (TCE), which has been associated with the country's nuclear programme for over five decades, feels it is time for the Department of Atomic Energy (DAE) to focus on strategic objectives and work more with the private sector on the energy front, according to a top company official. The city-headquartered DAE should take some inspiration from its state-run space counterpart Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), which has helped accelerate the pace of growth for the private sector, TCE's managing director and chief executive Amit Sharma said. DAE was formed for national strategic objectives, not to produce electricity... It should retain that core identity and let the private sector completely work on nuclear (energy), Sharma told PTI. Facilities like labs at Mumbai's Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC) should be made available to the private sector for testing their concepts, Sharma said, adding that other countries, including China, the US and South .

PM Modi highlights 'BharatRajya' website in 137th edition of 'Mann Ki Baat', calls for collective push towards 'Drug-Free India'

New Delhi , August 30 : Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday highlighted Mumbai-based Krishna Seshadri's initiative, India's Interactive Historical Atlas, to make the country's history more accessible and interesting. He also urged citizens, especially young people and content creators, to contribute to the campaign for a drug-free Bharat. In the 137th episode of his monthly radio programme Mann Ki Baat, PM Modi spoke on Seshadri's initiative, 'BharatRajya' saying, You go to this website, choose any one year, and you will get to know who ruled which part of Bharat at that time. This was done by Mumbai's Krishna Sheshadri. The Prime Minister said he came across Seshadri's initiative on social media on the occasion of Ashadha Ekadashi and found the idea interesting. The website, allows users to select a particular year and learn about the rulers and kingdoms that existed in different parts of India during that period. PM Modi praised Seshadri's effort and said, His effort will not only be beneficial for students of history, but it will also help us learn history in an interesting manner. Designed to make the complex geopolitical history of the Indian subcontinent engaging and accessible, the website allows users to seamlessly navigate through more than a thousand districts across multiple centuries of structural and political transformations. The website features a dynamic slider spanning thirteen centuries - from 700 CE to the present day - allowing users to enter any specific year to track shifting borders and territorial expansions in real-time. Rather than providing generalised maps, the custom database maps exactly who held power at a micro-level, showing transitioning borders between prominent regimes - including the Mughal Empire, Maratha Empire, and regional princely states. Built with a strict educational mission, the platform's underlying mapping data is completely open-source under a Creative Commons Zero (CC0) license. This allows students, teachers, content creators, and media houses to freely copy, remix, and print the map layouts without requiring prior permission or copyright clearance. The PM also spoke to Seshadari, the Mumbai developer who having no prior professional coding experience, he utilized modern generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools to write the complex code and build the feature-rich database from scratch. During PM's MKB programme at the end of the conversation, when the PM asked Seshadri on what other hobbies he had apart from creating the history website, the Mumbai developer said, I am a boring type of person who remains immersed in history and techonolgy. This elicited laughter from the PM Modi who wished Seshadari and wrapped up the conversation. During the episode, the Prime Minister also spoke about the ongoing Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyaan, which he said is gaining momentum across the country. The goal is clear--drug-free youth, drug-free India, PM Modi said, emphasising the collective resolve to ensure the health, happiness and bright future of the country's youth. He said drug addiction does not affect only an individual, but its consequences are felt by the entire family and society. The Prime Minister commended those working to create awareness about drugs and helping people struggling with addiction. He also urged citizens to come up with creative ways to spread the message of a drug-free life. Can our young musicians make a song which contains the message of a drug-free life? he asked, while encouraging students and theatre groups to create short plays highlighting the dangers of drugs and ways to overcome addiction. PM Modi also called upon content creators to produce material in different Indian languages and share it on social media. There is no dearth of excellent content creators in India, he said, adding that creative efforts can sometimes be more effective than formal campaigns. Meanwhile, Odisha Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi listened to the 137th episode of Mann Ki Baat in Bhubaneswar. Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma also listened to the programme in Guwahati, while Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel heard the Prime Minister's address in Ahmedabad. (ANI)

Felt very bad making fun of Subodh, says Saif Ali Khan at Dil Chahta Hai Reunion; Sonali Kulkarni recalls the actors obsession with punctuality even on set

The Dil Chahta Hai Reunion happened on August 28 at a suburban hotel in Mumbai. It was organized by Amazon Music and We Are Yuva.

One of the funniest aspects about Dil Chahta Hai was the character Subodh and his obsession with time tables and punctuality. However, in recent times on social media, fans have started expressing their admiration for Subodh with some also referring to him as a Green Flag. The character was the boyfriend of Sonali Kulkarnis Pooja. Interestingly, Subodh was played by Farhan Akhtars friend Asad Dadarkar, who is like the same person in real life. When Subodhs topic was introduced during the conversation at the reunion, Sonali Kularni said, I think Subodh added a fantastic flavour to the whole relationship. Having said that, Subodh, is Farhans dear friend. He didnt actually act. I remember he was like that (in real life too). He came on the set and he said, Its 9 Oclock, I will start shooting. The last sentence sent a wave of laughter among the crowd. To this, Farhan joked saying, Actually, we had invited him to come for this event. He was here at 6 (pm) but then he left as it didnt start (on time). Dil Chahta Hai eventually saw Saif Ali Khans character Sameer falling for Pooja and the two becoming a couple. The host asked Saif what he thought of Subodh. The actor said, Oh, he is a great guy, much to the laughter of the crowd. He added, I felt very bad making fun of him. But thats the job. Directed by Farhan Akhtar and produced under the banner of Excel Entertainment, Dil Chahta Hai also featured Preity Zinta and Akshaye Khanna. The two actors couldnt attend the reunion.
