Recalling the film that gave him his big break, the actor acknowledges the influence of the dialect on his professional journey. Speaking to Rekha, Kapoor says, If I am standing before you today, I believe Haryanvi has played a very significant role in my journey.

Pankaj Tripathi recently spoke about his approach to acting, the challenges of public attention and his preference for a simple life in an exclusive conversation with Filmfare. The actor, whose latest film Parivarik ManuRanjan co-stars Aditi Rao Hydari, also discussed the film's storytelling, his experience of working with Aditi and the people who have shaped his craft. Talking about the film's reception, Tripathi said the makers deliberately chose a simple narrative without unnecessary twists or drama. Explaining the intention behind the story, he said, We wanted to keep it simple and linear, with no twists or turns. He added, For me, it was an attempt to make something that offers comfort. Explaining why the makers avoided conventional storytelling elements, he said, Usually, when two people of the opposite gender end up living in the same house, the first assumption is that the story will explore their sexuality and sexual desires. We consciously wanted to avoid that. The actor also spoke about the film's underlying message of kindness, forgiveness and mutual respect. He explained that the story consciously avoids the assumptions often associated with two people of opposite genders sharing a home. Instead, it focuses on how strangers gradually develop trust and understanding. Speaking about the constant attention actors receive in public, Tripathi highlighted how people sometimes overlook their personal circumstances. He said, People sometimes forget that we are ordinary human beings too. We have our own sorrows, disappointments and moods. We cannot always be happy or available, but we are expected to be present all the time. Sometimes, I find that emotionally difficult. You wonder how much of your own pain you are expected to suppress. Recalling his experience of working with Aditi Rao Hydari, Tripathi described her as a sincere and hardworking actor and a wonderful human being. He also shared memories from their Lucknow schedule, including introducing her to Dahi Chura and visiting a local resident named Poonamji, whose traditional home-cooked meals became a memorable part of their shoot. When asked about the people who have influenced his acting, Tripathi made it clear that his inspiration comes primarily from theatre and literature. I don't think I have had any such conversations with people from the film industry. I have been much more influenced by my theatre teachers. Show minimum, create maximum. He said the philosophy continues to influence his minimalistic approach to acting. The actor also shared his understanding of an alpha man, explaining that leadership need not involve aggression. A leader can be polite, thoughtful and considerate, he said, adding that someone can lead without relying on stereotypical alpha qualities. Reflecting on his motivation, Tripathi said he does not necessarily draw inspiration from box-office success or his bank balance. My motivation comes from within. I don't necessarily draw motivation from a film's success or my bank balance. I find it in nature and in the little things around me. I have EMIs to pay, and sometimes I remind myself that if I don't work, how will I pay the bank instalments?, he said filmfare. The actor further admitted that he does not chase publicity and would prefer a quieter life. I have become fairly well-known now, but sometimes I wish I could go back to being unknown, he said. He added that once his expenses are taken care of, he would rather travel, cook, spend time in the jungle and enjoy a simple life.

Writer-director Varun V Sharma is currently enjoying the response to his direct-to-OTT film, Parivarik ManuRanjan, starring Pankaj Tripathi and Aditi Rao Hydari. However, exactly five years ago, he went through a difficult phase. His debut directorial venture, Bunty Aur Babli 2 (2021), was released amid considerable expectations but failed to make a mark at the box office. Bollywood Hungama exclusively spoke to Varun V Sharma during the promotions of Parivarik ManuRanjan and asked him what he felt went wrong with Bunty Aur Babli 2. Several filmmakers tend to blame external factors like the pandemic, release timing, cricket tournaments, examinations, adverse weather conditions, etc., for the failure of their films. However, Varun stood out with his refreshingly honest admission. Varun V Sharma said, Filmmaking, as an art form, is a director's medium. I firmly believe that the buck stops at the director. I am sure that I didn't meet the expectations of the audience. That's why it went wrong. I had such seasoned actors in my film like Rani Mukerji ma'am, Saif Ali Khan sir and Pankaj Tripathi ji, and also young, talented performers like Sharvari and Siddhant Chaturvedi. So, I don't know. Maybe main hi kahin pe galat raha hounga. He continued, However, I got a lot of learnings and hopefully, people will appreciate my efforts in my second film. Was it difficult to bag his second film after Bunty Aur Babli 2 failed at the box office? Varun V Sharma confessed, Yes. Someone has rightly said that it's easier to make your first film and harder to make your second film. You are always searching for the right subject. Meanwhile, I kept myself busy by directing ads. I was also working on an action film with Ali Abbas Zafar sir. However, due to budget and casting issues, that didn't materialize. He added, I guess it worked in our favour as Parivarik ManuRanjan felt more heartfelt. Woh film shayad main ghar chalane ke liye karta. Yeh aatma ki tripti ke liye ki hain!

Singer and composer Vishal Dadlani recently opened up about the unusual story behind his signature shaved-head look, revealing that the decision dates back to when he was just 23 years old. One half of the popular music composer duo Vishal-Shekhar, Dadlani has established himself as a familiar face on television through his appearances as a judge on several reality shows. While his distinctive appearance has become closely associated with his public identity, the singer revealed that it was initially driven by a sudden religious impulse. During an appearance on Neha Dhupia and Angad Bedis double-date YouTube series, Vishal was joined by singer-actor Shruti Haasan for a conversation. Recalling how he decided to shave his head, the composer revealed that he was deeply religious at the time and woke up one day with an overwhelming desire to visit Tirupati. Speaking about the experience, Vishal said, I shaved it at 23. I was very religious. This one day I woke up and had this extreme urge to go to Tirupati and shave my head. And I did. And then I dont know what happened, I swore then and there that I will never keep hair. His revelation prompted Neha Dhupia to ask what made him take such a firm decision. When she questioned him about the reason behind the promise, Vishal admitted that he did not have a particular explanation for it. Responding to her question, he said, I dont know why I do these things. It is the same reason I dont drink alcohol. I had decided in my childhood that I will never drink and I do not drink. My whole family used to drink. Social drinking was normal as I am from a Sindhi house. I just never felt like I should drink. The singer also spoke about another instance where his determination helped him make a lifestyle change. Recalling his smoking habit, he revealed that he was once a heavy smoker but decided to quit without gradually reducing his consumption. Explaining his decision, Vishal said, I was a heavy smoker and I gave up instantly. Because I knew if I wont, then I never will. His conversation offered a glimpse into the personal choices that have shaped his life over the years. From shaving his head following a religious experience to staying away from alcohol and quitting smoking, Vishal's anecdotes highlighted his tendency to make firm decisions and stick to them. Despite his earlier religious beliefs, he is now an atheist, making the story behind his signature look an interesting part of his personal journey.
