Dil Chahta Hais initial script was written ENTIRELY in English, reveals Aamir Khan; says, I was sure when I hear the Hindi version, I am going to CRINGE

The Dil Chahta Hai Reunion happened yesterday August 28 at a suburban hotel in Mumbai. It was organized by Amazon Music and We Are Yuva. The event saw the presence of 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 25 years of the iconic film. Aamir revealed that the initial script of Dil Chahta Hai was written entirely in English. When I heard the script for the first time, I just loved it, he said. Farhan had narrated it to me but he had written the entire script in English. So, all the lines that the characters were speaking were in English. Because of the milieu and the backdrop of these characters, it was quite natural that they were speaking in English. So, at the end of the narration, I told Farhan, Its a great script. But are you planning to make this in English?. He said, No, I want to make it in Hindi. I told him, I dont know how would you translate this flavour, which you are getting in English. Aamir continued, English is a very economical language. I said, If its going into Hindi, you might not be able to retain the flavour that you currently have in English. If you want to make it in Hindi, you write it in Hindi and get it to me. I want to hear how it sounds in Hindi. He said, Cool, give me a couple of months. The actor said that he was sure the script is not going to work in Hindi. I was so sure that its very difficult to translate that English into Hindi, said Aamir. I was pretty sure that when I hear the Hindi version, I am going to cringe. But when I heard the Hindi version, I was blown. Thats when I realized even more sharply that the emotion that you are feeling, you can convey that cool-ness in any language. You can convey any flavour in any language. We assume that English badi cool language hai; no. Hindi is as cooler language. You should know how to use it.

Aamir Khan slept 8 hours at Farhan Akhtars place after hearing 1st half of Dil Chahta Hai; filmmaker recalls, He said, I just need 15-minute power nap

The Dil Chahta Hai Reunion happened yesterday August 28 at a suburban hotel in Mumbai. It was organized by Amazon Music and We Are Yuva. The event saw the presence of 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. Among the various hilarious incidents shared during the event, the one that stood out was Aamir listening to the narration of Dil Chahta Hai for the second time. Aamir had heard the script before he went to shoot Lagaan, shared Farhan. Then after six months, he was coming back to Bombay. He said Yaar, I want to hear the script again. I just want to be familiar with it again. I said cool. He said, I am going to land at so and so time. I will just go home, shower quickly and come to your house and I will hear the script. Farhan continued, So, he came home and we narrated the first half. And obviously, the schedule of Lagaan must have been so demanding because of where they were shooting and how the shoot was going. He was so exhausted when he came home, that roughly about 11:30 in the morning, he said, after the first half was done, Guys, I just need a 15-minute power nap. Wake me up in 15 minutes with a chai and then we will hear the second half. And he went to sleep. We gave a pillow, blanket and bedsheet. What Farhan shared next brought the house down. After that, we tried to wake him up; he woke up at 8 in the evening, recalled the filmmaker. At 8 in the evening, we were downstairs and having our chai and drinking out beer. Aamir comes up and says, How much did a sleep? While the whole venue was in splits, Aamir said calmly, Yes, I remember that. I am a heavy sleeper.

The Bombay High Court warned food officials, leading to a license suspension withdrawal. Restaurants on Mumbai Cricket Association premises will now reopen their services.

Bombay HC slams FDA for 'pedantic' view, clears reopening of 5 MCA eateries

The Maharashtra FDA on Saturday said it would withdraw its order suspending the licences of five restaurants operating on the Mumbai Cricket Association premises, after the Bombay High Court warned of stinging orders against officials for taking a pedantic instead of pragmatic view of the situation. A division bench of Acting Chief Justice Ravindra Ghuge and Justice Gautam Ankhad vacated the suspension after a fresh inspection report submitted by the FDA confirmed that the eateries located in the Bandra-Kurla Complex area were 88 per cent compliant with food safety rules. The MCA had approached the high court challenging the FDA's decision to suspend operations over alleged hygiene violations and third-party operational irregularities. Although a fresh inspection carried out on Thursday showed 88 per cent compliance, the FDA had initially maintained the suspension because the eateries were being operated by M/s Shirke Infrastructure despite the licences being registered in the MCA

Let Your Bat Do The Talking, Selectors Will Definitely Find You: Suryakumar Yadav

Former India T20I: Former India T20I captain Suryakumar Yadav has a simple message for young cricketers waiting for their big break: keep scoring runs, trust your preparation, and let your bat do the talking, because the selectors will eventually find you. Speaking about the importance of patience in a young cricketers journey, Suryakumar urged youngsters not to compare their careers with others, stressing that every player has a unique story and timeline. I would tell youngsters not to compare themselves with someone else because everyone has a different story and everyone has a different chapter, Suryakumar told IANS. The former Indian skipper drew on his own experience, recalling the years he spent playing age-group and domestic cricket, travelling by bus and train with his kit bag while waiting for his opportunity. I spent a lot of time playing age-group and domestic cricket, taking those bus journeys and travelling in trains with my kit bag. I kept waiting, he said. Suryakumar also highlighted the intense pressure in Indian cricket, where young players often feel they must reach the highest level at a very young age. In India, most people think that if you dont make it by 21 or 25, your career is over and you might have to choose a different option, he said. But for Suryakumar, age should never determine a players destiny. But I feel age is not a deadline; your preparation is, he said. The Mumbai cricketer advised young players to continue sharpening their skills and to remain committed to their process, particularly when no one is watching. You should just keep working on your skills and follow your process when no one is watching, he said. And when it comes to attracting the attention of selectors, Suryakumar believes that performances remain the most powerful calling card. Maybe someday, if I speak from a cricketing point of view, if you keep scoring runs and let your bat do the talking, the selectors will definitely find you, and you will be where you belong, he said. And when it comes to attracting the attention of selectors, Suryakumar believes that performances remain the most powerful calling card.
