During the latest episode of Koffee With Karan 9, the actor revisited a remark he made on the show years ago, when he spoke about his run of successful films in comparison to Ranbir Kapoor and Ranveer Singh. Looking back, Varun suggested that talking too much about professional success may not be the best approach. What I have realised over time, after maturing a little, is that the only flex one should do is with their work. Many years ago, I came here and flexed about how many hits I had. Somewhere, it jinxed me or something, he said. Varun Dhawan revisits his Koffee With Karan Season 6 remark Varuns latest comments brought back a moment from Koffee With Karan Season 6 in November 2018. During that episode, Karan Johar asked him whether he would switch careers with Ranbir Kapoor or Ranveer Singh. Varun answered, None, explaining that both actors had experienced box-office failures, while he had not faced one at that stage of his career. At the time, Varun had delivered a string of commercially successful films, including Student of the Year, Main Tera Hero, Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania, ABCD 2, Badrinath Ki Dulhania and Judwaa 2. His response was widely discussed as a confident assessment of his box-office run. On the latest episode, Karan brought up the remark while discussing Varuns past comments about his successes. Varun chose not to revisit the numbers in detail, saying he did not want to make another boastful statement. I dont want to correct you. That would feel like a flex now, he told Karan. Janhvi Kapoor then pointed out that the number of hits being discussed had risen to 11. Varun agreed but maintained that he did not want to make a show of his commercial record. Varun Dhawan says Ajay Devgn treats success and failure alike Varun also shared what he has learnt from watching other actors navigate the highs and lows of their careers. He cited Ajay Devgn as an example of someone who maintains the same attitude regardless of professional outcomes. I dont want to flex or say anything in that regard. When you are successful or something becomes a success, sometimes it is better to be like Ajay Devgn. He is someone I have seen treat you the same way through success and failure. It is amazing, Varun said. Varuns 2018 remarks returned to online discussions in December 2024 after his film Baby John underperformed at the box office. Some social media users revisited his earlier comparison with Ranbir and Ranveer, joking that his confident statement had brought him bad luck.

Speaking on the latest episode of Koffee With Karan Season 9, the actor acknowledged concerns around objectification and the films portrayal of sexual assault, while also saying that she wishes she had spoken up more strongly during the making of the film. Directed by Buchi Babu Sana and headlined by Ram Charan, Peddi released in theatres on June 4, 2026. Following its release, the film faced criticism over the way Janhvis character was presented, with particular attention on camera shots focusing on her body and a romantic sequence that audiences questioned for its treatment of consent. Janhvi Kapoor says she takes responsibility for her part Reflecting on the controversy, Janhvi said, I felt many things, Karan. I think the reason I was so apprehensive to talk about it was because many people worked very hard on that film. I really didn't know what to say or if there was anything really to say. But it's important that I take ownership for my half of whatever that fiasco was because it weighs heavily on my conscience, the sort of negative impact a narrative like that can have on our society, specific to my gender. She went on to question whether she could have done more to challenge how her character was portrayed. Could I have done more? Could I have been more vigilant? Could I have made a bigger scene? A hundred percent, yes. Was it problematic? Was it extreme objectification? Did it even propagate sexual assault narratively? Yes, she said. Janhvi added that her focus now is on ensuring that she does not find herself in a similar situation again. The only thing I can do is to ensure that that doesn't happen again. I went through the beats of really beating myself up. I should have been more vigilant. I should have made a bigger scene, she added. Janhvi explains the challenges she faced during filming The actor also spoke about the dynamics of working on a film where she said, I don't like saying this because it sounds like I'm shifting blame. But you know what it's like, you feel like whatever the director says, be professional, listen to the director. So I was really navigating how to make things less problematic as best I thought, as and when information was becoming available to me. She further said, In the South, there very rarely is a bound script. And very rarely in those scripts do you see where the camera angles are. At the same time, Janhvi reiterated that she believes she could have used her position to speak up more. Having said that, I need to also take responsibility for my half of it. I do come from a place of privilege. I should have taken advantage of that because I'm going to get the criticism for being privileged anyway. So I might as well have leveraged it, she said. Janhvi calls the experience violating When Karan Johar asked whether she felt disappointed at the time or believed the filmmaker had not intended for things to unfold that way, Janhvi described the experience as violating. No, I feel like I get so conscious when I speak about this because I don't want to sound like I'm trying to be the victim here. I mean, it was a violating experience in a way, she said. Janhvi also revealed that she had expressed her discomfort during the filming process and even during post-production. I feel like both of you have sort of been with me through the beats of me trying to articulate discomfort throughout the course of shooting, even post-production, she told Karan and Varun Dhawan, who was also part of the conversation. Janhvi hopes the controversy leads to change Despite the difficult experience, Janhvi said she hopes the conversation around Peddi could make filmmakers think more carefully about how female characters are presented on screen. The good thing that came out of all of this is that maybe tomorrow someone else will think twice before they present a lead actress this way, she said.

The actors opened up about the disagreement that followed Bawaal being scheduled around the release of Johar's Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani in 2023, with the conversation revealing how the professional disagreement turned into a personal fallout. Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, Bawaal stars Varun and Janhvi and was originally scheduled to premiere on Amazon Prime Video on July 27, 2023. Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, directed by Karan Johar, was scheduled for a theatrical release the following day, July 28. Varun Dhawan says Karan Johar ghosted them Recalling the disagreement, Varun said, He just ghosted us and stopped talking. She knew you were fighting with her. I didnt know you were fighting with me. For one week, I dont think Karan was capable of fighting with me in my head. Janhvi then reminded Varun that Karan had called him a child during the disagreement. Varun responded that he had also described Johar as a child and said he still stood by his comment. I said he was a child, which is nothing to get so offended about. I still stand by that, Varun said. Karan Johar explains why he was upset Karan explained that he felt hurt because he was releasing his own film while Bawaal was initially coming close to its release date. I was releasing a film of mine and you came on that same date. I am not supposed to be upset, Karan said. Varun pointed out that he had informed Johar that Bawaal might have to be released on that date. Karan, however, said the situation became difficult because the date had not been formally announced and he had limited options. You werent announcing your date and I had to come because there are no dates. And then you come on a date and I was quiet. I didnt reply. I didnt pick up your call. I just didnt reply to your messages, Karan recalled. He said he was particularly upset after receiving a message from Varun telling him to stop acting like a child. Varun compares their equation to a family relationship Varun explained that his use of the word child came from the paternal equation he shares with Karan. There is a paternal relationship. I tell my dad also, Dad, you are behaving like a child. I tell my mother also, Varun said. Karan responded that Varun could speak that way to his parents, while Varun maintained that he viewed their relationship similarly. Karan also described the fallout with Janhvi as resembling a breakup, saying there had been genuine hurt involved. Janhvi and I, I behaved like it was a breakup, Karan said. Varun described his own disagreement with Karan differently, calling it a one-sided fight. Karan, however, maintained that there had been real pain involved. There was pain. There was a proper fight. I was hurt with both of you, Karan said. Janhvi reveals she gained six kilos during the fallout Janhvi also spoke about how the disagreement affected her personally. She revealed, I gained weight when we stopped talking. I became six kilos heavier. I started losing weight after I solved the fight. Varun says he changed his release date The conversation also revealed how the situation eventually began to resolve. Varun said he changed Bawaal's release date and later attended Karan's birthday celebration, where he helped bring Johar and Janhvi back together. Karans birthday was there, and obviously I was not invited initially. Then obviously I worked my thing, and then I got invited again. I changed my release date basically. I changed it because of my selfless nature, Varun said. He recalled believing that two people who cared about each other should be able to move past their differences. I just felt that when two people who love each other are having differences, they should just forgive each other and be with each other. And I knew that if Janhvi shows up and you see her, you will melt, he said. Varun then encouraged Janhvi to attend the birthday celebration. According to his account, she initially hesitated because she did not feel appropriately dressed, but eventually went after Varun told her he would leave. Karan recalled what happened when he saw Janhvi at the party: Then I cried, and she cried and we became okay. Varun jokes about Karan's dramatic reaction Varun later suggested that Karan could be upset with him but should not remain angry. I dont think that you should be allowed to be angry with me. I think you can be upset, but you cant be angry, Varun said. He also poked fun at Karan's reaction during the fallout, recalling some of the dramatic things the filmmaker had said. Karan, you said very dramatic shit. Like, Its not going to be the same now. A lot of people have disappointed me. But this hurt. This hurt. You became Bachchan from K3G, Varun joked, referring to Amitabh Bachchan's character in Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham.

The actor shared how his daily routine has changed since becoming a father and revealed that he and his two-year-old daughter already have their share of disagreements, particularly over music. During the conversation with host Karan Johar, Varun spoke about the joy of watching Lara grow up. He explained, A lot has changed. Earlier, I would have a lot of time to myself in the morning. Now, when I wake up, my two-year-old is running around, jumping and trying to go down a slide the wrong way. Natasha and I are almost like fielders. Varun added that watching his daughter experience the world brings him immense happiness. It's a lot of fun. Just seeing the joy and purity in a child brings a lot of joy to your heart, the actor shared. Varun Dhawan says daughter Lara is obsessed with Michael Jackson The conversation took a playful turn when Varun praised Ranbir Kapoor for being a great father to his daughter, Raha Kapoor. Janhvi Kapoor then pointed out that Varun was also a good father, prompting him to agree while revealing that he and Lara often disagree over their music choices. I'm damn good. But Lara and I get into a lot of fights, I feel, Varun said. Karan Johar was surprised by the revelation, considering Lara is only two years old, and asked what the father-daughter duo could argue about. Varun explained that their disagreements usually revolve around music, revealing that Lara is currently obsessed with Michael Jackson. When Janhvi asked whether he did not want to listen to the singer, Varun clarified that he wanted some variety beyond one particular track. I want to listen to another song besides Beat It. She wants to hear Beat It like 68 times, he said. Karan suggested that Varun should let his daughter enjoy the music she likes. However, the actor had another argument ready, joking that he wanted Lara to understand that Michael Jackson's career was bigger than just Beat It.

The actor revealed that Alia had spoken about wanting to have children when they were filming their debut film, Student of the Year. He also praised Ranbir Kapoor for his approach to fatherhood, calling him an amazing father to his and Alias daughter, Raha. During the conversation, host Karan Johar pointed out that all three actors from Student of the Year are now parents to daughters.

Varun Dhawan says Alia Bhatt spoke about having children at 19 Reacting to Karans observation, Varun said, I always knew Alia would be the first to have a child. Since we did Student of the Year, she had always mentioned that she would love to have a child. I found it bizarre because she was a kid. Janhvi Kapoor then pointed out that Alia was just 19 at the time. Varun added that she would often talk about children and her wish to become a mother. He also admitted that he had not expected Sidharth to be the last among them to have a child, as he thought the order would be Alia, Sidharth and then himself. Varun Dhawan praises Ranbir Kapoors parenting Karan also asked Varun whether any awkwardness from the past resurfaced when he met Alia and Sidharth, given their history of working together and the time that had passed since their debut. Varun said he and Sidharth get along well whenever they meet. He added that his interactions with Alia and Ranbir are also warm, with plenty of conversation. Speaking about Ranbirs relationship with Raha, Varun praised the actors parenting. When I see Ranbir as a parent, hes amazing. Hes so good as a father, he said, adding that it made him feel really ashamed. Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor welcomed Raha in 2022 Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor married in April 2022 and welcomed their daughter, Raha, on November 6 that year. The couple have occasionally shared glimpses of their life as parents, while generally keeping their daughters life away from the spotlight.

The actor reportedly reached the temple by helicopter around October 25 and joined the regular queue to offer prayers, waiting for approximately 30 minutes despite snowfall and cold weather. According to reports, Sara participated in puja and aarti during her visit and did not seek special treatment. Her trip has drawn attention as it comes months after the Badri-Kedar Temple Committee (BKTC) said that non-Hindus wishing to visit Kedarnath and Badrinath could be asked to submit a written affidavit affirming their faith in Sanatan Dharma. No public confirmation exists on whether Sara submitted an affidavit before entering the temple. Her visit alone does not establish whether the proposed requirement has been implemented or what arrangements were followed in her case. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Bollywood Hungama (@realbollywoodhungama) Why is Sara Ali Khan's Kedarnath visit in focus? In March 2026, the BKTC proposed requiring non-Hindus seeking entry to Kedarnath and Badrinath to submit a written declaration affirming their faith in Sanatan Dharma. The proposal was approved by the committee and forwarded to the Uttarakhand government for consideration. Sara was specifically mentioned in the discussion because of her frequent visits to Kedarnath over the years. The actor made her Bollywood debut with Kedarnath, which was filmed in the region, and has regularly returned to the shrine since then. At the time, BKTC chairman Hemant Dwivedi addressed the question of Sara's future visits, saying, If she says that she has belief in Sanatan and submits an affidavit, we will allow her for darshan. Sara's visits to Kedarnath have been a recurring part of her public life since her debut film. She has often shared glimpses of her spiritual trips, making the shrine a familiar destination for her beyond her film commitments. This time, reports said she arrived by helicopter and waited alongside other devotees during the snowfall. She also offered prayers and participated in aarti during the visit. On the professional front, Sara was recently seen in Udta Teer, a spy comedy co-starring Ayushmann Khurrana. Directed by Aakash A Kaushik, the film was released in theatres on October 23, 2026. Earlier this year, she appeared in Pati Patni Aur Woh Do, which was released in May.

The actress, known for her performances in Mahanati, Saani Kaayidham, and Dasara, has revealed that the role pushed her into unfamiliar territory. Before Akka, I didn't know I could play a female gangster, Keerthy said, reflecting on her experience of stepping into the character. Bhavani belongs to the world of Pernuru, a kingdom where women have ruled and protected their own for generations. In this setting, power is inherited, loyalty is central to survival, and protecting a legacy often comes with difficult choices. Speaking about what makes her character compelling, Keerthy said, Bhavani is a woman who knows what she stands for and will go to great lengths to protect her legacy, Keerthy shares. What makes her interesting is that beneath her strength and authority are choices that are never easy, especially when the stakes are so high. The series places Bhavani at the centre of a conflict that threatens to disrupt the established order of Pernuru. Radhika Apte plays Rudra, an outsider whose ambitions and beliefs challenge the kingdoms existing power structure. Their rivalry sets the stage for a confrontation that extends beyond competing claims to authority, with loyalties and long-standing traditions facing a test. Through Bhavani, Akka explores the pressures that accompany power and the personal compromises involved in protecting a legacy. The characters strength is balanced by the difficult decisions she must make as the conflict escalates, placing her beliefs and relationships under pressure. Written and directed by Dharmaraj Shetty and produced by YRF Entertainment, Akka also stars Tanvi Azmi, Mahesh Manjrekar, Anshuman Pushkar and Monica Panwar. The series will premiere on Netflix on October 30, 2026. With Keerthy taking on the role of a female gangster for the first time in her career, Akka marks a new addition to her diverse screen repertoire.

Organised by Pinkathon, India's biggest women's running movement, the event saw participants take part in a 3 km run beginning at 6:00 AM, encouraging women to incorporate physical activity into their everyday lives. Mutual Funds Sahi Hai was the Title Partner of this year's edition. The city's participation was part of a wider effort that brought together over 10,000 participants across 168 locations in 65 cities in three countries: India, Bangladesh and the Netherlands. The initiative continued Pinkathon's efforts to build local running communities and encourage women across age groups and fitness levels to embrace an active lifestyle. Family participation was another highlight of this year's edition, with major participants across the initiative joining alongside their family members. Among the participants was a 96-year-old woman who took part with her family, demonstrating how fitness can bring generations together. Venkat N. Chalasani, Chief Executive, Association of Mutual Funds in India (AMFI), said, Through our association with Pinkathon Day, we aim to encourage women to take an active role in managing their finances and securing their financial future. Just as regular physical activity contributes to long-term health, informed financial decisions and disciplined investing can help build financial resilience and enable women to pursue their long-term goals with confidence. He added, With participants coming together across 168 locations in 65 cities and three countries, Pinkathon Day provides a valuable platform to connect womens physical well-being with financial awareness. At AMFI, we believe that financial inclusion goes beyond access to financial products; it is about equipping women with the knowledge, confidence and opportunity to make informed financial decisions, participate meaningfully in the financial system and work towards greater financial security and independence. Milind Soman, Founder of Pinkathon, said, Every edition of Pinkathon Day is an opportunity to see how local communities can come together around a shared goal. The participation across cities reflects the efforts of our ambassadors, volunteers and running groups who encourage women to take that first step towards fitness. What matters now is for participants to carry this momentum into their everyday lives and find ways to stay active beyond the event. Building a healthier lifestyle is a continuous journey, and we hope Pinkathon Day inspires more women to make it a priority. The event was supported by Pinkathon's network of ambassadors, volunteers and local running communities, who helped bring participants together across locations. Through these community-led efforts, Pinkathon continues to encourage women to begin their fitness journeys and sustain healthier habits beyond organised events.

The blockbuster gamble that could change global cinema [feed_description] => For decades, Hollywood has dominated the market for large-scale cinematic spectacles. From Star Wars and The Lord of the Rings to Avatar and the Marvel Cinematic Universe, American studios have mastered the art of transforming extraordinary fictional worlds into multibillion-dollar entertainment properties. Indian cinema has produced its own spectacular successes, particularly with Baahubali, RRR, KGF and several other ambitious productions. But with Ramayana: Part One, the industry is attempting something particularly audacious. It is taking one of the world's oldest and most culturally significant epic narratives and presenting it as a technologically ambitious, multi-part theatrical spectacle. The project raises a fascinating question. Could Ramayana become India's answer to Hollywood's biggest fantasy franchises? And more importantly, should Hollywood be paying attention? India already possesses something Hollywood spends billions trying to create One of the biggest challenges facing entertainment companies is developing intellectual property that audiences recognise and care about. Hollywood studios invest enormous sums in building cinematic universes, introducing characters, establishing fictional worlds and persuading audiences to return for sequels. Ramayana begins with an extraordinary advantage. Its characters and central narrative have existed in cultural memory for centuries. The epic has inspired literature, theatre, television, music, art and countless retellings across different countries and traditions. For millions of people, Rama, Sita, Lakshman, Hanuman and Ravana are already familiar figures. In commercial terms, that is an extraordinary foundation for a major cinematic project. The makers do not need to create awareness of the underlying story among Indian audiences. They need to persuade viewers that their interpretation is worth experiencing on the big screen. However, this advantage is accompanied by a unique responsibility. Unlike an entirely fictional cinematic universe, the Ramayana carries profound religious and cultural significance. Its characters cannot be treated simply as commercially exploitable intellectual property. The challenge is to combine the ambitions of a global blockbuster with sensitivity towards the traditions from which the story emerges. The Avatar comparison: Technology must create emotion James Cameron's Avatar franchise established new benchmarks for visual effects, immersive world-building and theatrical spectacle. But its success cannot be explained by technology alone. Audiences were drawn into Pandora because the visual environment supported the characters, conflicts and emotional journey. For Ramayana, the technological ambition is similarly important. The involvement of Prime Focus Studios and DNEG has generated expectations of sophisticated visual effects and elaborate cinematic environments. Ayodhya, Lanka, forests, palaces, extraordinary creatures and large-scale battles provide immense opportunities for visual storytelling. Yet the lesson from Avatar is that technical sophistication must create immersion rather than merely showcase expensive imagery. A spectacular digital environment means little if audiences do not believe in the characters inhabiting it. The real test will be whether viewers become emotionally involved in the story rather than simply admiring the scale of its production. The Lord of the Rings comparison: The importance of world-building Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings trilogy offers another useful comparison. The films succeeded partly because Middle-earth felt like a coherent world with its own history, geography, cultures and visual identity. The filmmakers devoted extraordinary attention to costumes, architecture, landscapes, weapons, languages and the smallest details of the fictional universe. Ramayana presents a comparable challenge, although its source material and cultural context are fundamentally different. The filmmakers must establish distinctive visual identities for Ayodhya and Lanka, create convincing environments and ensure that the world feels internally consistent. The audience should be able to understand the differences between these places through their architecture, atmosphere, design and storytelling. This is particularly important for viewers unfamiliar with the epic. A strong cinematic world can make an unfamiliar narrative accessible without requiring lengthy explanations. But the comparison with The Lord of the Rings also highlights another crucial factor. World-building succeeds when audiences feel that the environment is real within the logic of the story. Expensive sets and elaborate visual effects cannot compensate for an inconsistent cinematic vision. The financial equation: Bigger isn't always better Hollywood's largest franchises are supported by sophisticated commercial ecosystems. Their revenue comes not only from theatrical collections but also from streaming, television, licensing, merchandise, games and long-term franchise exploitation. A film's worldwide gross is only one component of its financial performance. For Ramayana, the economics of such an ambitious project deserve close examination. The scale of the production implies substantial financial expectations. But reported budgets must be interpreted carefully, particularly when expenditure may cover multiple instalments, shared assets and long-term production infrastructure. A project can achieve enormous box-office collections and still face profitability challenges if costs are exceptionally high. Conversely, investments in visual assets, technology and production infrastructure may deliver benefits across sequels or future projects. This is where the comparison with Hollywood becomes especially relevant. The world's biggest studios do not merely produce expensive films. They build commercial systems that can generate returns over many years. Whether Ramayana can create a comparable long-term model will depend on far more than its opening weekend. The sequel challenge A major advantage of a multi-part cinematic project is the possibility of building anticipation across instalments. Baahubali: The Beginning demonstrated how a compelling narrative cliffhanger could transform a sequel into a nationwide event. The Lord of the Rings showed how a sustained creative vision across multiple films could deepen audience engagement. For Ramayana, the first instalment must achieve two objectives simultaneously. It must deliver a satisfying theatrical experience in its own right while creating anticipation for the continuation. If audiences leave feeling that they have watched an incomplete film rather than a compelling chapter of a larger story, the sequel strategy could become a disadvantage. On the other hand, if the first instalment establishes memorable characters, a convincing world and powerful emotional stakes, the next chapter could benefit from substantial built-in demand. Why Hollywood should pay attention The significance of Ramayana extends beyond whether it matches the collections of Avatar or The Lord of the Rings. The larger question is whether major cinematic spectacles must continue to emerge predominantly from Hollywood. India possesses a vast storytelling tradition, a large domestic theatrical market, increasingly sophisticated production capabilities and audiences willing to support ambitious films. If Ramayana demonstrates that these advantages can be combined into a globally successful franchise, it could encourage more large-scale productions rooted in Indian stories. That would not necessarily threaten Hollywood's dominance overnight. But it could broaden the industry's understanding of where globally marketable cinematic properties can originate. There is also a creative opportunity. Rather than imitating Hollywood's storytelling formulas, Indian filmmakers could introduce international audiences to narrative traditions, visual identities and emotional sensibilities that feel genuinely different. That distinctiveness may ultimately prove more valuable than attempting to replicate an American blockbuster. The final verdict It would be premature to call Ramayana India's Avatar or The Lord of the Rings. Those franchises earned their reputations through their films' execution, audience response, commercial success and long-term cultural influence. Ramayana has yet to undergo those tests. But the ambition itself is significant. For years, Indian cinema has looked towards Hollywood for benchmarks in visual effects, production scale and international distribution. With Ramayana, the industry has an opportunity to demonstrate that its own stories can support cinematic spectacles of comparable ambition. The question is not whether India can spend enough money to compete with Hollywood. It is whether Indian filmmakers can combine technology, storytelling and cultural authenticity to create something that global audiences have never experienced before. Hollywood doesn't need to fear Ramayana. But it may have a very good reason to watch it. Also Read: Is Ramayana benefiting from Adipurushs failure?

Sharing a video montage featuring moments from the romantic drama, Johar reflected on the personal experiences and beliefs that shaped the story, while acknowledging the polarised responses it received, particularly to its third act. Released in 2016, Ae Dil Hai Mushkil starred Ranbir Kapoor, Anushka Sharma, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Fawad Khan. The film explored the complexities of one-sided love and the emotional challenges of loving someone who may not feel the same way. Karan Johar reflects on the meaning of one-sided love In his anniversary post, Johar described Ae Dil Hai Mushkil as a deeply personal story that drew from his own experiences of love, longing and heartbreak. He wrote, Ae dil hai mushkil will always be a personal story to me a cumulation of many pieces of my pursuits of love and longing and perhaps also many of my own heartbreaks. The filmmaker added that, during a vulnerable phase of his life, he came to see one-sided love differently. You dont need to have someone love you back to empower yourself - the feeling itself is so awakening and so so powerful! Johar wrote, explaining that this realisation inspired him to tell the story. He also reflected on what he believes makes love selfless, writing, Loving someone has to be an act of selflessness and we as a community of lovers have to disassociate the I in I LOVE YOU. Selflessness is where true love truly resides I would have still told it the same way even today Johar acknowledged that the film was not without its shortcomings and received divided reactions from audiences. However, he maintained that he would not change his approach to the story if he were making it today. I do admit that it wasnt without its flaws and had several polarised responses especially to its third act. BUT truth be told I would have still told it the same way even today, with its flaws with its perceived imperfections he wrote. No art can be perfect and all interpretation is welcome but conviction has to trump all logic and sensibility when you want to be an unabashed story teller, Johar added. Karan Johar thanks Ranbir Kapoor, Anushka Sharma and the cast Johar also expressed gratitude to the films cast for supporting his vision. He thanked Ranbir Kapoor, Anushka Sharma, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Fawad Khan for their performances and contribution to the project. He further acknowledged the cast and crew for creating the right atmosphere during filming, referring to it as the perfect Vatavaran on set. Reflecting on the films legacy, Johar said that while the story centred on ek tarfa pyaar (one-sided love), his appreciation for the people who embraced it remained unconditional. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Karan Johar (@karanjohar) 10 years ago we told a story about unrequited love.

Whether she is dressed in a beautifully embellished saree or a statement lehenga, the actress brings a sense of regal sophistication to her ethnic ensembles. As Aditi celebrates her birthday on October 28, we revisit seven fashion moments that showcase her versatility and eye for traditional dressing. 1. Pretty in Pink Aditi made a striking statement in a bright pink ombre saree featuring intricate embellishments across the drape and its delicate border. She paired it with a matching blouse detailed with golden lace, creating a coordinated look that let the vibrant colour take centre stage. Heavy jhumkas and kadas added a traditional finishing touch, lending the ensemble a celebratory appeal. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Aditi Rao Hydari (@aditiraohydari) 2. A Contemporary Take on Sharara Dressing Giving the classic sharara a playful update, Aditi opted for an embellished short kurta paired with a bandhani sharara. The combination brought together contrasting patterns and textures without making the look feel overwhelming. She kept her jewellery minimal and completed the outfit with golden one-toe heels, allowing the ensemble to strike a balance between traditional detailing and contemporary styling.

Metallic Gold Elegance For a look rooted in understated traditional dressing, Aditi chose a metallic golden kurta suit paired with a black dupatta. The rich finish of the kurta created a striking contrast with the darker drape, while a pair of jhumkas completed the ensemble. The styling demonstrated how a simple silhouette can make an impact through colour, texture and carefully chosen accessories.

Understated Saree Sophistication Aditi brought together neutral tones and intricate detailing in an off-white and beige saree embellished across the drape.

She paired the lehenga with an off-white blouse featuring puffed sleeves, creating a contrast that made both elements stand out. The dupatta, finished with a red border, added another layer of colour and complemented the vibrant ensemble. Heavy jewellery completed the look, reinforcing its regal aesthetic.

In Her Gilded Era Aditi leaned into elaborate detailing with a richly worked sharara set featuring a corset-inspired blouse with wavy edges and matching bottoms with similar detailing.

The actress, who has moved between women-led dramas, thrillers and mainstream entertainers, recently spoke about why her professional journey has often been difficult for people to explain, citing her casting in Shah Rukh Khan starrer Dunki as an example. When asked which aspect of her journey makes her the proudest, Taapsee pointed to the fact that her career cannot be attributed to the conventional routes often associated with success in the film industry. She said, How easy is it to say shes successful because she has a godfather, or because shes from that family, or because shes signed by a studio? None of this applied to me. I realised this when I was cast in Dunki. For the longest time, no one could wrap their head around it. How is she in this movie? I wasnt part of Shah Rukh sirs social circle, nor had Rajkumar Hirani ever worked with me before. He had called me to his office once just to ask how Id approached a certain role. Much later, he called to ask if Id be okay hearing the script of Dunki. No one could digest that this had happened. They cannot put me in a box. So, Ive started hearing all sorts of stories about me. Shes difficult, no one wants to work with her, she has this problem, that problem. Because no one knows me, its easy to make up stories. Taapsees account highlights how her casting in Dunki, directed by Rajkumar Hirani and headlined by Shah Rukh Khan, became a point of discussion because she had not previously worked with the filmmaker and did not belong to the superstars social circle. According to the actress, Hirani had first invited her to his office to discuss her approach to a particular role before later asking if she would be interested in hearing the script of Dunki. The actress also addressed the speculation surrounding her personality, suggesting that the absence of personal familiarity can make it easier for people to form their own narratives about her. She believes that her refusal to fit into a predictable category has contributed to the stories circulating about her. Over the years, Taapsee has built a filmography spanning commercial entertainers, thrillers and character-driven dramas. Her choices have frequently taken her across genres, allowing her to explore different roles rather than follow a single, easily defined screen identity. Her latest remarks underline her pride in a career that, as she sees it, has developed without the conventional advantages often associated with access and industry connections.

[feed_description] => Cricketer Rohit Sharma recently opened up about the lessons he has learnt from his two children and how their different personalities have influenced the way he approaches situations, including his role as a captain. Appearing on Family Full House with Rohit Sharma, the former India captain spoke about how his seven-year-old daughter and two-year-old son have different personalities and behaviours. According to Rohit, observing their innocence has taught him to approach people differently. Mere dono bachche alag-alag character hain, dono ka bartav alag hai kyunki umar alag hai. Ek 7 saal ki hai, ek 2 saal ka hoga. Toh unse mujhe jo seekhne ko milta hai, woh un bachchon ke andar jo bholaapan hota hai na, innocence. Kyunki kabhi-kabhi ye innocence mujhe apne ground pe bhi leke jaana padta hai. Jab main captaincy karta hoon, Rohit said. Rohit Sharma on communicating with teammates Rohit went on to explain how the lesson sometimes comes into play when he communicates with teammates on the field. He gave the example of guiding a player through a particular situation and said that people may need to be approached differently depending on how they respond. Toh Kuldeep Yadav, Arey bhai, ye ball daalni hai aapko, aapko aise perform karna hai. Main chahta hoon ki aap ground mein aaiye. Main ek example de raha hoon, par logon ke saath aisa bartav karna padta hai, toh I think ye cheez apne bachchon se mujhe seekhne ko mili hai, he added. Rohits comments highlight how experiences outside cricket can also shape his approach to leadership.

The actor questioned the idea that women should be expected to quickly return to their pre-pregnancy bodies after giving birth and said she would rather focus on motherhood and her own journey. Katrina discussed the criticism while speaking to Vogue, reflecting on how public opinion can quickly turn harsh, particularly when it comes to a womans appearance after childbirth. We live in a world that wants to blow us around in the ever-changing winds of opinions, she said. The actor also addressed the criticism surrounding postpartum bodies. I think most people are aware of what a womans body goes through after giving birth. And if they still choose to view that body through a harsh lens, its a personal choice. It cant be blamed on a lack of information, because there is so much information out there. I just want to focus on this lovely part of my life and where Im headed, Katrina said. Katrina Kaif questions the idea of ouncing back Katrina also challenged the commonly used phrase bounce back when discussing a womans body after childbirth. For the actor, motherhood is not a step backwards from her previous life but something she had wanted deeply. Bounce back? From where? she asked. I have taken a step ahead to something that was a deep desire in my heart, so why would I want to go back? she added. Her comments come after her appearance at the Ambanis Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations became the subject of online commentary. Social media accounts and meme pages criticised the actors appearance and made remarks about her body, with some posts going as far as declaring that her career was finished. Katrina says she will progress at her own pace The actor also clarified that focusing on motherhood does not mean she has stopped paying attention to her fitness. I am very aware of my fitness journey and where my body feels at its most energetic. I will reach there at my own pace, Katrina said.
