Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor Khan offered a glimpse into their playful relationship in a fun interaction with Vogue, where the couple answered questions about their personal lives in the magazines Tell the Truth segment. From debating who first said I love you to revealing who takes charge when ordering food, the actors brought their trademark humour to the conversation. The segment began with a question about who would be more likely to survive a zombie apocalypse. Saif was quick to back himself, pointing out that she had already done a film centred on the subject. I did a movie on zombie apocalypses. So, it would be me. But I'll help you in the family, of course, Saif said, while also reassuring Kareena that he would look out for the family. When he reinstated saying, Of course, I'm there, Kareena playfully added, I would hope so, Saif. Their exchange set the tone for the light-hearted conversation, with the couple teasing each other while discussing their life together. Things got even more interesting when they were asked who had said I love you first. Kareena admitted that it might have been her, while Saif immediately disagreed. Explaining his reaction, she said, He just doesn't want to embarrass me, so it might have been me. Saif, meanwhile, confessed that he could not remember who had said it first, responding, Thats so sweet. I don't remember who did that. Kareena then delivered one of the sweetest moments of the interaction, telling her husband, You can always say I love you again to me. View this post on Instagram A post shared by VOGUE India (@vogueindia) The couple also revealed an everyday detail about their relationship when asked who usually orders food for the table. Saif credited Kareena with knowing her way around different cuisines, admitting that he often envies her choices. My wife is a food expert in various cuisines. And I'm always jealous of what she orders. So, I usually leave the order to her, he said. Kareena agreed with his assessment, adding, Yeah, always end up eating what I order. The exchange offered a charming look at the couples equation, balancing affectionate confessions with the sort of playful banter that comes from years of companionship. Married since 2012, Saif and Kareena continue to draw attention for their candid public appearances and easy chemistry, and their latest interaction gave fans another glimpse into their life together beyond the screen.

Janhvi Kapoor has finally spoken openly about her relationship with Shikhar Pahariya. Appearing on the latest episode of Koffee With Karan 9 with Varun Dhawan, the actor confirmed that she is officially dating Shikhar and also shared when she sees herself getting married. Janhvi Kapoor confirms she is dating Shikhar Pahariya During the conversation, host Karan Johar directly asked Janhvi if she was officially dating Shikhar Pahariya. The actor responded, Yeah, I am. Janhvi went on to explain why she has generally been cautious about discussing her personal life publicly. She said, Ive always thought about why everyones so cagey about this. Obviously, I dont want Nazar and I dont want to be overly explicit about whats happening in my personal life. But I also dont think people give that much of a fuck for us to be like, Lets never let anyone know. The actor added that she does not see a reason to be overly secretive about her relationship. I just think its overrated to be like, Let no one ever know ever. Its just kind of boring to be tiptoeing around, and its not a big deal, Janhvi said. Later in the episode, Karan Johar asked Janhvi when she planned to get married. The actor gave a straightforward answer, making it clear that marriage is not on the immediate horizon. Not for another 2-3 years for sure, Janhvi said. Janhvi Kapoor and Shikhar Pahariyas relationship Janhvi and Shikhar have known each other for several years. They reportedly first met when Janhvi was around 15 or 16 and have had an on-and-off relationship over the years. The two were reportedly close during their teenage years before taking a break around the time of Janhvis acting debut in 2018. Their relationship reportedly rekindled by 2022, and Shikhar has since been a regular presence in Janhvis life. The two have also been spotted together on several occasions, although they had largely avoided giving an official statement about their relationship. Shikhar Pahariya is an entrepreneur and polo player. He is also the grandson of former Maharashtra Chief Minister Sushilkumar Shinde and the brother of actor Veer Pahariya.

That makes this return even more meaningful, as IIFA has been a beautiful part of my musical journey over the years. For me, music has always been about that connection, when you step onto a stage, you leave everything behind and simply let the music speak. IIFA has always celebrated that powerful connection between Indian cinema, music and audiences across the world, and being part of that celebration once again is something I am truly looking forward to. This time, I am especially excited to perform some of my timeless chartbusters, along with my latest super-hit song Afsana Banaya Aapne. The song is particularly special because it brings me and Emraan Hashmi back together after 20 years, making it a wonderful full-circle moment for both of us. To return to IIFA and perform these songs for audiences in Abu Dhabi is something I am genuinely excited about, he added. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Himesh Reshammiya (@realhimesh) He concluded, I am thrilled to return to the IIFA stage for the IIFA Digital Awards 2027 at Yas Island, Abu Dhabi, and create another unforgettable musical moment with everyone. It feels wonderful to come back to a platform that has been a meaningful part of my journey, celebrate the music that has become a part of peoples memories, and once again experience the incredible love of the IIFA family.

Renowned award-winning Bollywood playback singer and live performer Amit Mishra, best known for his iconic hits such as Manma Emotion Jaage, Bulleya, Allah Duhai Hai and Sikandar Naache, is celebrating two back-to-back releases. While his latest single, Bareilly Wala Jhumka, was released on October 11 under Harsh Music Label, the singer is now gearing up for the release of Kudiye, a party track from the upcoming film Main Na Raha Mera, set to release soon. Bareilly Wala Jhumka is a peppy commercial dance number composed by Jayant Aryan, featuring Amit Mishra alongside co-singer Swati Sharma. The music video stars Akriti Agarwal and Aniket Raj and has been directed by Raj Ranjit. This also marks another collaboration between Amit and director Raj Ranjit, with whom the singer had previously worked on an Indi-Awadhi track. Adding to his back-to-back releases is Kudiye, a solo vocal track from the upcoming film Main Na Raha Mera, featuring Adhyayan Suman. Composed by Rahul Nair, the song is a high-octane party number with a contemporary, trendy sound and infectious energy. The track also marks Amit Mishras return to playback singing for Adhyayan Suman, having previously lent his voice for the actor in Lucknowi Ishq around 201011. Expressing his excitement about the single, Amit Mishra shared, As the look and feel of the song suggests, Bareilly Wala Jhumka is a proper commercial dance number. It was a really nice experience recording the song. Raj Ranjit is a friend, and I had earlier sung an Indi-Awadhi track for him, so it was great to collaborate with him again. Jayant Aryan has composed the song really well, and Im happy with how it has come together. I hope listeners enjoy the song, love the video, and continue showering it with their love. My best wishes to Harsh Music Label and the entire team. Talking about his experience of recording Kudiye, Amit Mishra shared, Rahul Nair is a very good friend, and weve worked together before, so we understand each others vibe. Hes a brilliant composer, musician and singer, and I really liked what he had created with Kudiye. The recording took around five to six hours, and Adhyayan Suman also came to the studio while we were recording and shared some inputs, which was really nice of him. He was happy with the vocals and was grooving to the song, which felt great and was encouraging. Kudiye has a very current, upbeat sound, with catchy lyrics that are sure to get people on the dance floor. I think people will enjoy it, and I can see it becoming the next party popper for those who love their party music. With Bareilly Wala Jhumka already out, bringing a vibrant dance sound, and Kudiye set to release soon with its contemporary, high-energy musical style, Amit Mishra showcases two different sides of his versatility as a singer.

For more than three decades, Bollywood's superstar hierarchy has been dominated by three names Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan and Aamir Khan. Their supremacy has survived changing audience tastes, the rise of multiplexes, the OTT revolution and the arrival of a new generation of actors. Several stars have challenged their dominance, but very few have managed to sustain the kind of hysteria that the three Khans have enjoyed. Now, as Ranbir Kapoor prepares for the release of Ramayana: Part One on November 5, an intriguing question arises. Is he about to achieve something that even the three Khans, despite their extraordinary careers, have not managed to accomplish? The answer lies not merely in the opening day numbers or the lifetime collections of Ramayana. It lies in the possibility of creating an Indian film franchise with the scale, cultural relevance and international potential to compete with some of the biggest cinematic properties in the world. From talented actor to genuine superstar Ranbir Kapoor's career has followed an unconventional trajectory. Unlike Salman Khan, who developed a formidable mass following through larger-than-life entertainers, or Shah Rukh Khan, whose romantic image became a global phenomenon, Ranbir has consistently moved between different genres. He played a troubled musician in Rockstar, a carefree young man in Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, a conflicted son in Animal and a film star in Sanju. These films showcased his versatility, but they also revealed an interesting aspect of his career. Ranbir's biggest successes have generally emerged when his acting abilities have been combined with a strong emotional narrative and a compelling cinematic proposition. Animal changed the conversation around his stardom. It demonstrated that Ranbir could deliver a massive opening and attract audiences beyond the traditional urban multiplex circuit. More importantly, it established him as a star capable of generating extraordinary anticipation before a film's release. With Ramayana, however, the stakes are considerably higher. The one territory the Khans never completely conquered Shah Rukh Khan has enjoyed remarkable international popularity. Aamir Khan demonstrated the enormous overseas potential of Indian cinema with Dangal, particularly in China. Salman Khan has delivered some of Hindi cinema's most successful mass entertainers. Yet, none of them has built a globally established, multi-film mythological franchise on the scale that Ramayana is attempting. This distinction is important. It does not mean that Ranbir has already surpassed their achievements. The Khans have delivered decades of box-office success, cultural influence and extraordinary audience loyalty. A single franchise cannot erase that legacy. However, Ramayana presents Ranbir with an opportunity that is fundamentally different from the conventional superstar race. If the makers successfully translate Ramayanas cultural familiarity into a compelling theatrical spectacle, Ramayana could travel far beyond the traditional audience for a Hindi film. And that could give Ranbir an entirely new dimension to his stardom. Can Ranbir become India's first truly global franchise superstar? Hollywood's biggest stars have increasingly benefited from association with globally recognised franchises. The success of such films is not always dependent on individual star power. Audiences are attracted by the characters, the cinematic universe and the promise of an extraordinary theatrical experience. This is precisely where Ramayana becomes interesting. Ranbir is not merely playing another commercial hero. He is portraying Lord Rama, one of the most revered figures in Indian mythology. The character carries enormous emotional and cultural significance, while the film's scale could introduce the story to international audiences unfamiliar with Indian cinema. If Ramayana succeeds globally, Ranbir could become the face of a franchise whose recognition extends well beyond his existing fan base. But there is a catch. The character of Rama is bigger than the actor portraying him. Audiences may turn up because of their attachment to the epic rather than because of Ranbir Kapoor. Consequently, even extraordinary collections would not automatically establish that Ranbir has greater individual drawing power than Shah Rukh, Salman or Aamir. The real test would come when he returns with a film that does not benefit from such a powerful pre-existing property. The numbers will tell only half the story There is considerable excitement surrounding Ramayana's commercial prospects. Its scale, premium formats, multiple language versions and ambitious international positioning create the possibility of exceptional box-office numbers. However, the film's eventual success must be examined through several parameters. An enormous opening would demonstrate the strength of the initial anticipation. Strong weekday collections would suggest positive audience acceptance. Sustained performance across different territories would indicate broad appeal. International collections beyond the Indian diaspora would be particularly significant. And given the scale of the investment, profitability would be just as important as headline-grabbing gross collections. A film can create box-office records without necessarily delivering equally impressive financial returns. The biggest opportunity and the biggest risk For Ranbir Kapoor, Ramayana represents an extraordinary opportunity, but also a tremendous responsibility. The expectations surrounding the film are unlike those attached to a conventional commercial entertainer. Audiences will judge not only the performances, direction and visual effects, but also the emotional authenticity with which the epic has been adapted. Even a commercially successful film could attract intense criticism if viewers feel that the storytelling has failed to do justice to its subject. On the other hand, if Ramayana delivers on its promise, Ranbir could find himself at the centre of a franchise that dominates the theatrical conversation for years. That would be an achievement of considerable significance. The final verdict It would be premature to declare Ranbir Kapoor Bollywood's biggest superstar. Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan and Aamir Khan have built legacies that cannot be measured through the success of one film. But perhaps Ramayana is not really about replacing the Khans. Perhaps it is about changing the definition of superstardom itself. For decades, Bollywood's biggest films were built around superstars. With Ramayana, there is an opportunity for a superstar to become the face of something even bigger than himself. If that happens, Ranbir Kapoor may not merely climb Bollywood's hierarchy. He could help create an entirely new one. Also Read: Could Yashs Ravana steal the thunder from Ranbir Kapoors Lord Ram? The STAR POWER battle inside Ramayana

In September 2026, Bollywood Hungama was the first to report that the late Mukul Dev would be seen in Udta Teer. We further revealed that the actor would be seen performing action and comedy and would also have a face-off with Ayushmann Khurrana. In an exclusive interview with Bollywood Hungama, Udta Teers writer-director Aakash A Kaushik opened up about his fond memories of working with Mukul Dev. Aakash A Kaushik said, I have a lot of fond memories of him. He had this beautiful laughter. I miss that a lot. Whenever I would narrate the scenes to him, he would laugh his heart out and remark, Yaar, yeh bahut funny hain. The way he picked up the accent was amazing. We worked hard to get it right as well. He added, I would be sitting at home at 12:30 am and suddenly, he would call me. Id pick up and ask, Hello, sir. Is everything okay?. He wouldnt say anything; he would just laugh. I would ask what happened and then he would say, Yaar, I cant stop laughing. Main so-and-so scene yaad kar ke has raha hoon. Aakash confessed, He would generally not type messages. Instead, he would send me voice notes on WhatsApp. I still have those voice notes and listen to them. He would say, Tune yeh bahut accha role likha hai. Iss picture ke baad, mujhe poore India se pyaar milega. I would respond, Sir, maine accha likha hai, lekin aapne usse bhi better perform kiya hain. I promised him that he would get a lot of love, and he did. I am sure hes watching from above and feeling very proud of himself. Mukul Dev passed away at the age of 54 on May 23, 2025. When asked if he was aware that he was ill and hospitalized for a week before his demise, Aakash replied, I didnt. It came as a shock to me. I had spoken to him for a month. When the news of his demise came, I was completely stunned. For the next few days, I just couldnt work. Udta Teer was largely filmed in 2024. Interestingly, the film begins with a sequence depicting Operation Sindoor, which took place on May 7, 2025. Mukul Devs character is also seen mentioning Operation Sindoor. This raises the question: Did Aakash A Kaushik tweak the script and Mukul Devs dialogue to incorporate the landmark incident into the film? Aakash confirmed, Yes. We had plans to show something else. But when Operation Sindoor happened, we decided to tweak his dialogue. But how did the makers manage to incorporate the new dialogue, considering that Mukul Dev had passed away by then? Did Aakash and his team use AI to recreate the late actors voice? Aakash replied, Yes, we did.

Ali Fazal has expressed gratitude for the overwhelming love that Mirzapur and his character Guddu Pandit have received over the years. As the series earns the distinction of being voted the most-watched show across streaming platforms over the last decade, spanning its first three seasons, the actor reflected on the emotional significance of playing a character that has become a household name. For Ali, the popularity of Guddu Pandit goes beyond professional recognition. The characters journey, intensity and transformation have resonated with audiences, making him one of the most recognisable figures from the crime drama. Reflecting on the milestone, the actor spoke about how the response to the series has exceeded expectations and how audiences have made Guddu Bhaiya a part of their lives. Speaking about the recognition and what it means to him, Ali Fazal said, It's honestly quite overwhelming and emotional to see the kind of love Mirzapur continues to receive. When we started this journey, we knew we were creating something special, but none of us could have predicted the scale at which the show and its characters would connect with people. Guddu Pandit has given me so much as an actor, and the fact that audiences have welcomed him into their homes and made Guddu Bhaiya a household name is something I will always cherish. There are moments when you pause and realise that a character you once played has become a part of people's lives, their conversations and their memories. That feeling is difficult to put into words. The actor also acknowledged the significance of the latest chapter in the franchise, Mirzapur: The Movie, which released this year and has delivered a notable box-office performance. According to Ali, the films response has further strengthened his emotional connection with the franchise and the audiences who have followed its journey across seasons. Continuing, he said, To now see Mirzapur receive this recognition, and to have Mirzapur: The Movie take that love forward with such an incredible response at the box office, makes the journey even more special. I am deeply grateful to the audiences, the entire team, and everyone who has stood by this world through every season. Guddu Pandit will always hold a very special place in my heart. Since its first season, Mirzapur has built a dedicated following, with its characters and dialogues becoming part of popular culture. Guddu Pandits evolution across the series has been central to its appeal, with Alis portrayal capturing the characters shifting ambitions, vulnerabilities and intensity. For the actor, the recognition serves as a reminder of the lasting connection that storytelling can create between performers and viewers. With the series continuing to enjoy widespread popularity and Mirzapur: The Movie extending the franchises reach, Guddu Pandit remains a defining role in Ali Fazals career.

Paresh Rawal, Aditya Rawal, Tannishtha Chatterjee, Sharib Hashmi and director Ananth Narayan Mahadevan attended the premiere of their film Pastt Tense at the 14th edition of Jagran Film Festival at a multiplex in Mumbai. The festival organizers first played the film and it surprised the attendees due to the powerful plot, intriguing moments and memorable performances. After the screening, the team of the film came on stage and talked about the film. Paresh Rawal stole the show with his honest comments. He plays a man with a negative role and he opened up about it and then also looked back at his illustrious career. The host asked Paresh Rawal, in regard to the context of the film, whether he has done roles in the 80s and 90s where he is laughing while assaulting a female character? The veteran actor replied, Yes, yes. I have done plenty of such roles. Those roles were so idiotic and ridiculous that we had to make it amusing. Warna aapko bhi maza nahin aata aur dekhne waale ko bhi mazaa nahin aata. At the end of the session, Aditya Rawal remarked that his father, Paresh Rawal, has completed 40 years in the acting business. On this, the host asked him if he has ever counted how many films he has done in his career. Paresh Rawal answered, No. Jo acchi films hain, woh mujhe pata hain kitni hain! The host guessed that Paresh Rawal must have worked in 250 films. The actor said, Yes, it could be more. And how many of them were good in his opinion? Paresh instantly said, 11! The crowd was amazed while Aditya Rawal said, We had counted. Paresh Rawal then opened up about these memorable films, There was one role that I was very happy essaying. I put a lot of hard work into it and that was Sardar (1993). I got a chance to do a biopic. It was very close to my heart. He added, Another role, which was also sort of a biopic, was Tamanna (1997). But that films second half went haywire. It was based on a real-life character, Tiku. Then came Oye Lucky Lucky Oye (2008). Its also close to my heart. In Mumbai Meri Jaan (2008), I got to essay a lovely character. The Storyteller (2025) mein bahut maza aaya, followed by Hera Pheri (2000), Dacait (1987), etc. I cant list all 11, but I can assure you there are 11 such films! Which villainous role would he pick as his most satisfying one? Paresh Rawal stated, I would pick Dacait. Otherwise, villain ka role karne mein mazaa nahin aata tha. Our writers could do better with villain roles. Aisa nahin lagna chahiye ki villain-villain hain. You should feel that I have seen this man at a bus stand or a taxi stand. That adds to the impact. Woh stupid tarah ke, get up aur daadhi-mooch laga ke aa jaate hain, woh bahut hi ghatiya tarah ke hote hain. I detest those roles! Some audience members and organizers requested Paresh Rawal to deliver a dialogue as his iconic Hera Pheri character, Baburao. The actor left everyone in splits as he replied, Nahin, nahin. Uske liye ticket lena padega! Also Read: Malamaal Weekly 2 EXCLUSIVE: Riteish Deshmukh, Elvish Yadav, Paresh Rawal and Rajpal Yadav locked in leads, shoot begins in November

Tamannaah Bhatia reacts to comments on her complexion; says, I focus on my work
Tamannaah Bhatia has responded to comments about her complexion, sharing her perspective on dealing with remarks about her appearance and the importance of not allowing them to become a distraction. Speaking at the recently held NDTV Profit Ignite 2026 event, the actor explained how she chooses to focus on her work rather than give importance to such observations. During the interaction, Tamannaah highlighted how listening and understanding what deserves attention are essential for creative professionals. She said, I think that as a creative person, our most important task is to listen. And when we listen, what we keep and what we filter is very important to understand. And because you are also a woman, you can understand that if we start giving importance to such things, then perhaps we will not be able to move forward in life. The actor further emphasised that her priorities remain her work and the projects she wants to pursue. She added, So I don't even see these things. I focus on my work. I focus on what I want to make. I focus on my acting career. Explaining her approach towards her profession, Tamannaah said that she views her work as a form of service and believes that this sincerity helps her connect with audiences. And genuinely, according to me, I want to do my work like a service. And I do that. And maybe that's why it reaches people, because somewhere it comes from the right place, she shared. The remarks come against the backdrop of comments made by veteran actor Annu Kapoor about Tamannaah more than a year ago. During an appearance on Shubhankar Mishras podcast, Kapoor was asked about the actor and her performance in the popular song Aaj Ki Raat from Stree 2. Responding to the question, Kapoor remarked, Mashallah kya dudhiya badan hai (What a milky-white body/complexion). He further said, Behen, apne gaane se, apne shareer se, apne dudhiya chehre se humare bacchon ko sulaati hain... Bahut achi baat hai Desh ke upar kripa hogi agar humare desh ke bacche achi aur swasth neend soyein (Sister, if through your song, your body, and your milky-white face you make our children sleep... it is a very good thing... It will be a blessing for this country if our children get a good, healthy night's sleep). Tamannaahs latest comments underline her decision to prioritise her acting career and creative choices over remarks about her appearance.

The meeting focused on exploring long-term opportunities for Indian productions to shoot in Scotland and strengthening the cinematic ties between the two regions. Accompanied by delegates from Screen Scotland, Swinney highlighted Scotlands filming infrastructure, skilled technical crews and financial incentives aimed at attracting international productions. The discussions also explored the countrys potential as a filming destination for upcoming Indian films and streaming projects. The meeting held particular significance for Karan Johar, given his long-standing association with Scotland through his directorial debut, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (1998). The films iconic title track featured picturesque Scottish locations, including Eilean Donan Castle, Blackrock Cottage and Tantallon Castle, which became part of the films visual identity. Sharing photographs from the meeting on social media, Karan expressed his happiness at hosting the Scottish First Minister at Dharma Productions and recalled his experience of shooting in the country. He wrote, It was such an honour to have the First Minister of Scotland, John Swinney (@john_swinney_snp) visit our home, our office and our world at @dharmamovies! It took me back to shooting my first film Kuch Kuch Hota Hai where we shot some iconic sequences and scenes in the beautiful backdrop of Scotland. We spoke avidly about my memories and experience and conversed about how we could deepen the friendship between the two countries in the cinematic field. It was a pleasure and more, thank you for gracing us with your presence. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Karan Johar (@karanjohar) Beyond the Dharma Productions visit, the diplomatic tour included an industry roundtable organised in partnership with the Producers Guild of India. The meeting brought together senior Indian film producers, studio representatives and members of Scotlands screen sector to discuss co-production opportunities, creative exchange programmes and logistical support for Indian productions filming overseas. The initiative reflects efforts to strengthen international collaboration as Indian filmmakers increasingly explore overseas locations for theatrical releases and streaming projects.

Paresh Rawal, Aditya Rawal, Tannishtha Chatterjee, Sharib Hashmi and director Ananth Narayan Mahadevan attended the premiere of their film Pastt Tense at the 14th edition of Jagran Film Festival at a multiplex in Mumbai. The festival organizers first played the film and it surprised the attendees due to the powerful plot, intriguing moments and memorable performances. After the screening, the team of the film came on stage and talked about the film. Paresh Rawal stole the show with his honest comments. Pastt Tense marks the first film in which Paresh Rawal and son Aditya Rawal have worked together in lead roles. Paresh Rawal was asked about how the casting happened. He clarified, I didnt make any suggestion in the cast. It was Ananth who took the call. Main nahin chahta tha ki log aisa bole ki bete ke saath baap bhi aa raha hain package deal mein! He added, I signed the film as I liked the subject. Such films need to be supported. Moreover, I had worked with Ananth earlier, in The Storyteller (2025). Mujhe bahut mazaa aaya tha and I was very happy with the film. So, when I got a chance to do one more film with him, I grabbed the opportunity. Thirdly, mere naseeb mein iss tarah ki film bahut kam aati hain. The host asked if he meant that filmmakers rarely offer him arthouse films because he is perceived as a commercial actor. Paresh replied, Yes. The makers assume that yeh film toh kar lega lekin paisa zyada maang lega! Aur mujhe zyada paisa maangna bhi chahiye (laughs)! On a serious note, he continued, So yes, I got very few such opportunities. Hence, whenever I get, I grab it with both hands.

Anil Kapoor is bringing his trademark energy and humour to Star Plus India Ke Top 1%, but the actor is also offering viewers a glimpse into the personal experiences that shaped his journey in the film industry. In the upcoming weekend episode, Kapoor revisits a challenging phase of his early career, when opportunities in Hindi cinema were hard to come by, and recalls an unexpected moment of recognition during a visit to Shirdi. The actor shared how his Telugu film Vamsa Vruksham introduced him to audiences in Andhra Pradesh at a time when he was struggling to establish himself in the Hindi film industry. Despite having completed the film, Kapoor revealed that work remained elusive, prompting him to seek Sai Babas blessings at Shirdi. Recalling the phase and the prayer he made during his visit, Anil Kapoor shared, Shirdi Sai Baba has blessed me immensely. Back then, I was struggling to find work. I wasnt getting any Hindi films, and nobody was taking me seriously. Then I received an offer for a Telugu film, Vamsa Vruksham, which I went on to do. Even after that, I was sitting at home without work, so I decided to visit Shirdi for Sai Baba jis darshan. I prayed, Keep everyone happy, keep me and my family happy, and if possible, let me get a little work so that my career can move forward. What followed turned into a memorable milestone for the actor. As he was leaving Shirdi, buses carrying people from Andhra Pradesh arrived, and some of the passengers recognised him from Vamsa Vruksham. The experience came as a surprise to Kapoor, who had not yet experienced such a moment of public recognition in his career. Describing the encounter, he continued, You wont believe it, but as I was leaving Shirdi, buses arrived from Andhra Pradesh, where my Telugu film had released. Children and girls got off those buses and started asking for my autograph. I said, Yeh kya ho gaya? My film had released there, and here I was in Shirdi, with people recognizing me and asking for my autograph. It was the first time in my life that this had happened. It is Sai Baba jis blessing. View this post on Instagram A post shared by StarPlus (@starplus) The anecdote offers a glimpse into the uncertainty Anil Kapoor faced during his initial years in the industry, as well as the unexpected ways in which his work began reaching audiences. While Hindi film offers were not coming his way at the time, the response to his Telugu film gave him an early taste of recognition and encouragement. Through India Ke Top 1%, Kapoor is combining the excitement of the quiz format with personal stories from his life and career. The show, positioned as Star Plus biggest family game show in a decade, aims to bring families together over the weekend through trivia, entertainment and candid conversations.
