Released under Raah Records, the music label of Yash Raj Films, the new song explores the feeling of missing someone during a temporary separation and the sense of incompleteness that can accompany their absence. Written and composed by Aman, Tanha Main centres on the emotions that surface when someone close is away, even if only for a short time. The song touches upon longing, the need for reassurance and the small insecurities that can emerge when a familiar presence is missing from everyday life. Rather than focusing on the end of a relationship, the track explores a more specific emotion: knowing that someone will return, but still finding it difficult to get through the time apart. Its central theme revolves around how the absence of one person can change the way ordinary moments feel. Tanha Main combines Indie Pop with Indian instrumentation Musically, the track brings together Indie Pop arrangements and traditional Indian instruments. The harmonium forms the foundation of the composition, while the tabla and dholak add rhythmic elements. The sarangi lends another layer to the arrangement, complementing the song's theme of longing. The combination gives Tanha Main an Indian musical character while retaining the melodic approach of independent pop. The instrumentation also supports the song's intimate storytelling, keeping the focus on the emotions at its centre. Aman continues his journey with Raah Records With Tanha Main, Aman follows up on the musical direction introduced through Jaadugari. The two releases mark the early stages of his journey as a singer-songwriter under Raah Records, where he continues to explore personal themes through original compositions. The latest single brings together his songwriting, composition and interest in Indian musical influences, offering another look at the sound he is developing as an independent artist.

Namit Malhotra says makers may revisit plans after audience feedback [feed_description] => Could Ramayana eventually expand beyond its planned two-part format? Producer Namit Malhotra has opened up about the possibility of a third instalment of the ambitious mythological saga, revealing that the project was initially envisioned as a trilogy before the makers decided to tell the story across two films. While no decision has been taken, Malhotra indicated that audience response could influence whether the team revisits the format. Speaking to international media during the films recent Los Angeles premiere, Malhotra said the original plan involved three parts, but the creative approach subsequently changed. He also left room for the possibility of further additions once the films reach audiences. So we started out the film, we were going to make it in three (parts), then we decided to make it in two. We're still in the middle of filming, so you know, I'm not going to give any spoilers for anything - but you know, who knows the way, once we get all the response and all the feedback, we may sit back on the table and the drawing board and see if there is anything else that we want to add or subtract, depending on how the world has received it, Namit said. Malhotra also revealed that the makers currently have two versions of Ramayana: Part 1, each with a different runtime. The team is assessing audience feedback to determine whether one version can work for viewers worldwide or whether an extended cut could be considered. He went on to continue, While we say that, we also have two different versions of the same film, but two different run times on one - on part one itself. So, depending on which way the next round of feedback goes, I'd love to not have to make two different versions. I'm sure Nitesh would also prefer that, that if you could just stick to one, one version for the world. #Ramayana Part 3 So there is still a chance of 3rd Part confirm by Namit Malhotra Just look at the smile of Nitesh Tiwari #RanbirKapoor #Yash #SaiPallavi https://t.co/KwvKx7NbJt Prof DK2 (@who_are_u07) November 3, 2026 Drawing a comparison with the extended editions of The Lord of the Rings, he added, I mean, that we can also do. I think we have enough material to warrant a separate version within the same master version - we've got two different run times. So those are the kind of things that we're trying to assess, depending on how audiences really consume this. Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, Ramayana: Part 1, subtitled Rise of a Legend, stars Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama, Sai Pallavi as Sita, Yash as Ravana, Sunny Deol as Hanuman and Ravie Dubey as Lakshman. Produced by Malhotras Prime Focus Studios in collaboration with DNEG and Monster Mind Creations, the film features an original score by Hans Zimmer and A.R. Rahman. It is scheduled for a worldwide theatrical release on November 5, 2026, in standard and IMAX formats.

In an exclusive interview with Bollywood Hungama, Pratap director Sachin Saraf opened up about the response to the film's asset, Amit Sadhs preparation for the role and a lot more. Pratap's trailer has come as a surprise. How has the feedback been? Excellent. We were hoping for a good response, but we were overwhelmed by the calls and messages. Hence, I believe that the trailer has connected with the audience. They have got a sense of the films feel and mood, and now I hope they watch it in theatres. At the trailer launch, parallels were drawn with Ab Tak Chhappan (2004). However, since Pratap is the story of an encounter specialist who goes to jail, one can't help but draw parallels with Sachin Waze. Your thoughts? Yes, after watching the trailer, many people asked me this question. Its interesting that you are also mentioning it. But frankly, Sachin Waze is not the only officer who has been jailed. Unfortunately, there are many other police officers who have gone behind bars for one reason or another. His case is still fresh in people's minds, and I believe thats why these parallels are being drawn. However, when audiences watch the film, they will realize that the story is not about one person. It's about what happens when a powerful person loses his position. That powerful person could be anyone, from any profession. Amit Sadh looks apt for the part. We see him losing his mind towards the end of the trailer. How did he prepare for the role? Its part of the narrative arc. During our research, we came across documentary footage of prisoners held in isolation in US jails. After speaking to Indian jail officers, we realized that isolation and separation from family can take a toll on even the strongest of prisoners. Amit created his own graph of mental anguish and its progression. He carefully built it up like a musical crescendo as we show time passing inside the jail. What you see in the trailer is just a glimpse of a brilliant performance by a brilliant actor. Pratap was earlier titled Main. When did the title change take place, and what was the reason behind it? Main was the original title of the script, as the story revolves around an individual and his mind games. Unfortunately, that title was registered with someone else. As a result, we changed the title and added the tagline, This time, the target is within. Pratap clashes with Soorya, starring Sunny Deol, who is incidentally related to Esha Deol. Soorya also looks like a mass-appealing film, just like Pratap. What made the producers lock this particular release date? We are all big fans of Sunny sir. In fact, I have assisted on three of his films. But this clash was not planned. We had no idea that his film was also releasing on the same date. Our team had prepared a release plan after considering the most appropriate date for our film. So, we are sticking to that plan. Sunny sir is a legend and a superstar. We cannot even imagine clashing with a legend like him. But I think both films will find their audiences, and people will love both movies.

Why grandparents, parents and Gen Z could together create box-office history [feed_description] => In an era when theatrical audiences are becoming increasingly fragmented, Bollywood faces an unusual problem. A film that appeals to teenagers may not necessarily attract their parents. An action spectacle that draws young adults may struggle to bring senior citizens to cinemas. Meanwhile, family dramas that appeal to older viewers may not generate the opening-weekend excitement associated with major event films. But what happens when a film has the potential to attract all these audiences simultaneously? That is one of the most interesting possibilities surrounding Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana: Part One. With Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama, Sai Pallavi as Sita and Yash as Ravana, the film combines a familiar cultural narrative with the promise of large-scale theatrical spectacle. It could become one of those rare cinematic events where grandparents, parents and children all want to watch the same film. And if that happens, the commercial implications could be enormous. Bollywood's forgotten audience: The entire family Over the years, the economics of Hindi cinema have increasingly revolved around opening-weekend collections, premium ticket prices and the ability to attract younger moviegoers. Action entertainers and star-driven spectacles often generate enormous initial demand, particularly among audiences who prefer to watch major releases during the first few days. But family audiences behave differently. A family outing requires coordination. Parents must consider children's schedules, senior citizens' comfort, show timings, travel arrangements and ticket affordability. Such audiences may not necessarily rush to the first available show. Instead, they could contribute to collections over a longer period, particularly during holidays and weekends. This is where Ramayana could possess an unusual advantage. The familiarity of the story means that multiple generations may have their own reasons to watch it. Grandparents may be emotionally connected to the epic. Parents may remember earlier adaptations. Younger viewers may be attracted by the stars, visual effects and cinematic scale. The film could therefore create a shared motivation for a family outing. The Diwali advantage The release timing adds another interesting dimension. Ramayana is scheduled to arrive just before the Diwali holiday period, when families traditionally spend more time together. This creates an opportunity for the film to attract viewers who may not ordinarily visit cinemas frequently. A major theatrical release during a festive period can become part of a larger family outing, particularly when the subject is familiar across generations. However, the timing also creates challenges. Pre-Diwali days can be affected by shopping, travel, household preparations and other commitments. Consequently, the film's opening-day collections may not fully reflect its eventual family-audience potential. A stronger indication could emerge during the holiday period, when viewers have greater flexibility to attend cinemas together. This makes the film's performance beyond the opening weekend particularly interesting. The 3,170 ticket-price problem There is, however, a significant obstacle to the family-blockbuster theory. Ticket affordability. Premium-format ticket prices for Ramayana have attracted considerable attention, with some high-end seats reportedly priced above 3,000. For an individual enthusiast, paying a premium to experience a major spectacle may be an acceptable indulgence. For a family of four or five, the economics are very different. Four tickets priced at 3,170 would cost 12,680 before food, beverages, parking or transportation. Even tickets priced at 500 each would amount to 2,000 for a family of four. The difference is substantial. This raises a crucial question. Could aggressive premium pricing maximise revenue from affluent audiences while discouraging the larger family groups that might otherwise contribute to sustained collections? The answer will depend on the availability of reasonably priced shows, the balance between premium and standard screens, and the film's appeal across different cities. A genuine family blockbuster cannot depend exclusively on expensive premium formats. It needs broad accessibility. Why footfalls could matter more than gross collections One of the most important distinctions in box-office analysis is the difference between revenue and attendance. A film can generate substantial collections through high ticket prices without necessarily attracting a record number of viewers. For Ramayana, footfalls could be an especially revealing measure of success. If the film draws large family groups across multiplexes and single-screen cinemas, it could demonstrate a breadth of appeal that is not always visible in opening-day revenue figures. Consider two hypothetical scenarios. It is possible for a film to achieve extraordinary revenue without achieving equally extraordinary audience penetration. Can Ramayana revive repeat viewing? Another intriguing possibility is repeat attendance. Traditionally, some of Indian cinema's biggest hits benefited from audiences returning to cinemas multiple times. Today, the abundance of entertainment options and the relatively short gap between theatrical and digital releases have changed viewing habits. However, major cinematic spectacles can still generate repeat attendance when audiences feel that the experience is worth revisiting. Ramayana could potentially benefit from this behaviour. Repeat viewing will ultimately depend on the quality of the film and the strength of word of mouth. The importance of emotional accessibility For Ramayana to become a genuinely multi-generational event, it must deliver more than spectacular visuals. The storytelling needs to be accessible to children without feeling simplistic to adults. The emotional conflicts must engage older viewers without appearing excessively slow to younger audiences. The action sequences must be exciting, while the character relationships must provide sufficient emotional depth. This is a difficult balance. A film that satisfies only the expectations of spectacle-seeking viewers may struggle to attract older audiences. Conversely, a treatment that feels too traditional may not generate the enthusiasm needed to sustain premium-format demand. The ideal outcome would be a film that allows different generations to connect with different aspects of the same story. The opportunity beyond the metros The family-audience opportunity also extends beyond Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru and other major metropolitan markets. In smaller cities and towns, the Ramayana enjoys widespread cultural recognition, and the film could attract audiences who do not regularly watch expensive large-scale theatrical productions. A strong performance in Tier 2 and Tier 3 markets would provide important evidence that the film's appeal extends beyond premium urban audiences. Could Ramayana become one of Indian cinema's defining multi-generational theatrical events? The opportunity certainly exists. The story possesses extraordinary familiarity. The casting combines major stars from different industries. The visual ambition could attract younger audiences, while the emotional and cultural significance of the epic may appeal to families and older viewers. But the ultimate outcome will depend on two factors: whether the film delivers a satisfying experience and whether audiences can afford to watch it together. After years of increasingly fragmented theatrical audiences, Ramayana has the opportunity to remind Bollywood of something it once understood exceptionally well. Sometimes, the biggest blockbuster is not the film that attracts the loudest opening-day crowd. It is the film that gives an entire family a reason to return to the cinema together.

From making his debut with Vicky Donor to starring in films like Shubh Mangal Saavdhan, Andhadhun and Dream Girl, the actor has explored different genres and subjects. With Udta Teer, Yeh Prem Mol Liya and Mupapa adding to his upcoming slate, Ayushmann says he intends to continue backing stories that offer audiences something different. Speaking about his approach to choosing projects, the actor emphasised that experimentation has remained central to his journey. I have always believed in walking the road less travelled. Whether it is from Vicky Donor, Shubh Mangal Saavdhan, Dream Girl, Andhadhun to Udta Teer, Yeh Prem Mol Liya or Mupapa, my choices continue to reflect that and I want to keep exploring stories that are content-forward and break away from the expected. It is the audience's trust in my choices that gives me the confidence to take risks and the freedom to experiment, challenge myself and move between genres. Ayushmanns filmography has included social comedies, romantic dramas and dark thrillers, allowing him to move between different storytelling spaces rather than remain associated with a single genre. At a time when franchises, large-scale spectacles and familiar formulas continue to occupy a significant space in the industry, the actor believes there is still room for films that take a different approach. He also spoke about the importance of balancing unusual premises with entertainment, adding that audience acceptance ultimately encourages him to keep experimenting. As an actor, I have always wanted to be part of films that offer them something new while keeping entertainment at the heart of it. The love Udta Teer continues to receive is humbling, and it only tells me that audiences are always ready for something different. They will embrace a fresh perspective, an unusual premise or a new way of storytelling, as long as it entertains and connects with them. I'm thankful to every director, writer and team that has trusted me with these stories, and to the audience for showing that unconventional stories can find a place in mainstream entertainment, he added. With Udta Teer receiving attention and Yeh Prem Mol Liya and Mupapa representing different facets of his upcoming work, Ayushmann continues to explore varied narratives. His latest comments underline his intention to keep choosing projects that combine distinctive storytelling with theatrical entertainment.

Among the messages that caught fans attention was Kareena Kapoor Khans birthday post for the superstar, which has fuelled speculation about her possible appearance in his upcoming action thriller, KING. Taking to Instagram, Kareena shared a silhouette photograph featuring herself alongside Shah Rukh Khan. Accompanying the picture was a birthday message that read, Happy Birthday King The forever Ruler of the kingdom. She followed it with another line that particularly caught the attention of fans: Let's dance together... Can't wait. 24-12-26. The reference to December 24, 2026, is significant as it is the scheduled worldwide theatrical release date of KING. Kareenas message has prompted speculation that she could be part of a special dance number in the film. However, the makers have not officially announced her involvement or shared details about the reported track. The post also drew reactions from members of the film fraternity. Kareenas sister, Karisma Kapoor, responded with, Cant waitttt. Gauri Khan, who is producing KING, added to the excitement with her comment, Its going to be insane. Her response further fuelled curiosity around the possibility of Kareena and Shah Rukh sharing screen space again. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Kareena Kapoor Khan (@kareenakapoorkhan) The two actors have previously worked together in films such as Asoka (2001), Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham... (2001) and Ra.One (2011). Their on-screen pairing has remained familiar to audiences, making the prospect of another collaboration an interesting talking point among fans.

Rather than relying entirely on existing locations, the team constructed a dedicated set to bring greater authenticity to the prison environment, which plays an important role in the films narrative. Written and directed by Sachin Saraf, Pratap follows a decorated encounter specialist whose life takes an unexpected turn, eventually placing him on the other side of the law. With the story moving into a prison setting, the makers felt that creating a space specifically for the film would help establish the atmosphere required for the narrative. The production team undertook the construction of the jail set in Bhopal, paying attention to its structure, surroundings and finer details. The approach also gave the filmmakers greater creative control over the environment, allowing them to design the space according to the requirements of the story. Speaking about the decision, director Sachin Saraf said, We wanted the world of Pratap to feel as authentic as possible. The jail plays an important role in the films narrative, and recreating the environment in Bhopal gave us the freedom to design the space according to the requirements of the story. A lot of thought and effort went into getting the detailing right because we wanted the setting to feel believable on screen. The specially constructed set was also intended to provide the cast with an environment that complemented the circumstances their characters experience in the film. The makers believe that the attention given to the setting would contribute to the overall visual treatment and help establish the world in which the story unfolds. Pratap features Amit Sadh alongside Esha Deol, Tigmanshu Dhulia, Seema Biswas and Milind Gunaji. The film is produced by Pradeep Rangwani under the banner of UV Films and is scheduled for a theatrical release on November 20, 2026. With the release date approaching, the newly revealed production detail offers a glimpse into the work undertaken by the team to recreate the films central setting.

Though touted as a Diwali release, the film arrives in cinemas on November 5, four days before the festival. Over the years, filmmakers have preferred to release their films either on Diwali or a day later, as the post-Diwali holiday is considered one of the most lucrative days at the box office. Interestingly, for Ramayana, this all-important day will fall on its fifth day of release. Trade veteran Taran Adarsh explained, This is a time when a lot of people are busy with festivities, ghar ki safaai, shopping, etc. Hence, theres a perception in the industry that this is a time when people dont go to watch movies. However, I believe that theres a strong section of moviegoers that would go and watch a film like Ramayana. It is so beautifully timed and is the most appropriate release for this season. Vishek Chauhan, owner of Roopbani Cinema in Purnia, Bihar, opined, Theres a pre-Diwali effect as people are busy with the festivities. The makers could have released the film on November 7 or November 8, closer to Diwali. Thats because the day after Diwali is the biggest at the box office. But probably the makers are confident of the product and of the opening that it would take. Advances are good to great so far. If it manages to sell 6 lakh tickets before release at the highest possible ATP, then you are easily looking at a Rs. 100 crore plus day. He also said the decision has been a godsend for exhibitors like him, Ramayana is now releasing 4 days before Diwali. Had it come on November 9 instead of November 5, I may have had to shut shop until Ramayanas release, as the holdover releases are now coming to the end of their run. Thanks to Ramayana, Ill be making money even before the festival. So, exhibitors are happy. Meanwhile, the producers get an extended festive first week. Its a win-win situation from that perspective. He added, Normally films are released on Diwali or a day after. Hence, its a gutsy move on the part of the producers. Trade analyst Atul Mohan clarified, I wont call this pre-Diwali. The film is releasing in the Diwali week. Diwali falls on Sunday while the film releases 4 days before, on Thursday. He continued, Ramayana is such a topic that every parent would want their child to watch it. We all know what the story is. But now, with the advent of technology, makers can make it visually appealing. This advantage was not there. Yet, the makers of the TV show Ramayan did a commendable job. Now, VFX makes things easier in making visually appealing cinema. Ranbir Kapoor is one of the biggest stars. These factors have gone in favour of the film. Distributor and exhibitor Raj Bansal agreed, In the earlier versions of Ramayan, popular actors didnt play the lead roles. But in this film, we have Ranbir Kapoor and Yash, who are immensely popular, being cast as Lord Rama and Ravana. Meanwhile, who can be better for the role of Lord Hanuman than Sunny Deol? This will be a major advantage for the film and will also entice those who may not be followers of the epic, Ramayana, or those belonging to other religions.

Mandar Chandwadkar is one of the actors who has been constant on the show since its inception. He is known for playing the iconic character of Aatmaram Tukaram Bhide, the ekmeva secretary of Gokuldham Society. In an exclusive chat with Bollywood Hungama, Chandwadkar candidly looked back at his journey with the show and shared some interesting bits about the behind the scenes happenings while shooting at TMKOCs iconic sets at Mumbais Film City. Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah has completed 18 years. You have completed 18 years while playing Atmaram Tukaram Bhide. How do you look at your journey so far? The journey has been in different phases. When I had just joined, there was a feeling of a struggler getting a daily soap. At that time, it was important to get a daily soap, so that you start earning a fixed income. I felt good then. The character was also such that there was scope for performance. In those days, there were a lot of female-oriented shows like Kyunkii Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii and Kasauti Zindagi Kay where male characters hardly got a chance to do anything. At that time, this show came out where every character had an equal scope to perform. In 2010, we realized that there is something in this show that the audience is admiring and finding funny. However, such themes have also been explored before. But the special thing about this show is that it shows unity in diversity, just like our country India. Asit Kumar Modi came up with this chamatkar by adapting Taarak Mehtas Duniya Ne Undha Chashma. We have our writers who come up with different stories and characters; every character has a caricature hidden inside. For example, every society has one Jethalal, who doesnt give maintenance on time, is happy and doesnt take tension but problems always find him. There is also Daya, who is a very different type of a lady. Disha (Vakani) played that character wonderfully. Then there is Bhide, who vows by his principles. He doesnt like unnecessary spending. Popatlal is eager to get married since years but its not happening. Sodhi family has an amazing combination of Punjabi and Parsi. Similarly, nobody can think of a combination of Babita and Iyer. Then came a time when we realized that this is responsibility wala kaam and we need to keep it up. We kept on improving year after year. I got to learn a lot from Dilip (Joshi) bhai (who plays Jethalal) as a senior actor. Then Asit bhai showed more trust in Bhide and family, so he started creating stories revolving around them. The audience showered us with love from day one till today. Two generations have grown up but this shows magic still sustains. There are people who dont eat their meals without watching TMKOC. People who used to stay in separate rooms started coming together to watch this show. Do you recall the moment when you got selected for the show back then? Absolutely! I had given an audition in 2008, which was like any other audition. At that time, there were no online auditions. My co-star Sonalika Joshi (who plays Madhavi) had referred 2-3 actors for the show, including me. I was in Indore, so I took a flight and came to Mumbai, as there was an urgency. I met Asit bhai and our earlier director Dharmesh Mehta, who took my audition. Asit bhai must have given green signal to him as he would have liked. So, I was okayed then itself. This was a big thing for me. How did you get into the character of Bhide for the first time? What was your preparation like? There wasnt a preparation process as such. I just kept on learning basically. Taarak Mehta wrote Duniya Ne Undha Chashma for years but, being a Maharashtrian, I wasnt aware of it. Just like PL Deshpande is to Marathi, Taarak Mehta is to Gujarati. He used to observe and write. He also created fictional characters like PL Deshpande did. I understood and realized what they want and I gradually kept on learning. Asit bhai helped me a lot in understanding what exactly they want in the character. At that time, Taarak bhai was also associated with us. He used to watch all the episodes. Initially, he didnt understand and like it much but after one or one and a half year, Asit bhai told me that Taarak bhai has now started liking my character. It was an achievement for me that the writer who made this character has started liking it. In a humorous show like yours, do the actors improvise or strictly stick to the script? We have been given a lot of freedom by Asit bhai. The writers have been doing their work 100%. While reading, we add some tadka from our side. But we will be able to add tadka only if we have something (in the writing). The main plus point of the writers and Asit bhai is the atrangi ideas they bring. For example, a whistle being stuck in Bhides throat, Haathi bhai being stuck inside a rickshaw, my moustache getting stuck on my face, Jethalal getting involved in funny problems, etc. These are next level ideas. They already have humour. We just see what we can do with it while performing. All of you are tasked with bringing out six episodes per week, which involves a lot of shooting. Do you all get time to watch your own show? We surely do. In todays times, technology has gone so ahead that we are able to see it anytime on Sony LIV. Its not necessary that we watch only at 8:30 pm. When we are at home, we watch with everyone. If not, we watch whenever we get time. But we surely watch. I definitely do, so that I realize how better I could have done in a scene. Even after 18 years I feel like, There was a punch missing. I will make sure next time. Is the atmosphere on the sets as light-hearted as the show? Its the same light-hearted. There is no tension and pressure about anything. We have such creative freedom. Today, in every other serial (on other channels), there is an interference by the channel on how a scene is shot and even when it comes to the choice of curtains and tea cups. But by the grace of God, we dont have any such restrictions. We have such creative freedom that if we feel this character wont speak like this, we are allowed to change that. We dont need anyones permission. Thats because we have been fully into our characters all these years. What are the similarities between Aatmaram Tukaram Bhide and Mandar Chandwadkar? There is only one similarity. I am very disciplined in real life, just like Bhide. But the way Bhide thinks so much before spending money is not something that I do (laughs). In the show, there is a playful leg-pulling between your character and Jethalal. How is your bond with Dilip Joshi in real life? We share a very good bond. I personally have been a fan of Dilip bhai as I have seen a lot of his serials like Kya Baat Hai, Yeh Duniya Hai Rangeen, etc, when I was a struggler. I really like how he deeply observes his characters and gets into them. I got to see that from close quarters after joining this show. We share the same room and have our meals together. The observation continues round the clock of how he works on his character. TMKOC has a lot of characters but not a single saas (mother-in-law). Have you all ever discussed this? No, there has never been a discussion about this. Thats because people have seen that a lot in all these years. Even today, every second serial is about that; it has a saas along with bahu, son and daughter. Thats why people actually dont miss that there is no saas here. But you must have noticed that all these years, there has been Jethalals saas (who is never shown). They keep speaking about her and she gives funny nicknames to Jethalal. Do you keep getting acting offers for other projects? I never feel the need. An artist should feel satisfied. If the job which you are doing has satisfaction, you dont need anything else. When I shoot 12 hours here daily, I am absolutely satisfied as an actor. And its a responsibility; its a daily soap. The show has been successful because every actor has been dedicated towards the show. You wont find any of them in any other serial. Thats because Asit bhai has kept such a bonding intact. On a lighter note, will Popatlal get married first or Tapu? (laughs) As Bhide, I am not at all concerned about Tapus marriage. I just want Sonu to be married off.

On Shah Rukhs birthday, the actor shared a handwritten note on social media, recalling September 29, the day he got to work directly with the Bollywood superstar. Verma described the experience as one of the happiest moments of his life and admitted that he was nervous before the shoot. Recalling how he found out that he would be sharing a scene with Shah Rukh, he wrote, Aaj historic ho gaya..shayad hee itna khush kabhi feel kiya hoga jitna aaj kar raha hu...Aaj Shah sir ke sath scene kara aur koi nahi, sirf sir aur mai... He recalled that director Siddharth Anand had informed him that the scene was going to happen, but he did not fully believe it until he reached the set. Shoot pe gaya aur Siddhant ne bataya ki aisa kuch hone vala hai but yakeen nahi ho raha tha...phir set pe pohcha toh pata chala sach hai...bahot nervous ho gaya suddently, he wrote. Verma also remembered Shah Rukh greeting him warmly when he arrived on set. According to the actor, Shah Rukh kissed him on the cheek before they began rehearsing. The two also shared a light moment during rehearsals when Verma asked if he could put his weight on Shah Rukhs hand. Phir thodi rehearsals ki aur maine kaha sir mai haath pe weight daal sakta hu? toh sir bole bilkul daal naphir jab daala toh sir bole 'Abhi nahi beta take mein..' toh hum dono hase saath mein for good 15 secs in middle of rehearsals, Verma recalled. Abhay Verma praises Shah Rukh Khans professionalism Verma admitted that once the actual takes began, he was primarily focused on making sure he did not make a mistake that would require Shah Rukh to repeat the scene. Phir jab take ho rahe they toh mann mei bass itna aa raha tha ki mujhse koi galti na ho jaaye bas...taaki sir ko dobara na karna pade meri wajah se! Aaj jo bhi hua, I honestly can't believe it happened with me, he wrote. The actor went on to praise Shah Rukhs professionalism, particularly recalling moments when the superstar was unwell but continued working without making it apparent to those around him. But Shah sir jitna professional actor nahi dekha honestly. Tabiyat kabhi kharab thi sir ki toh bhi kisi ko pata chalne nahi diya that he's unwell. TRULY KING THINGS!! Verma wrote. He also recalled staying back on the set after his own shoot had wrapped to watch Shah Rukh work. Verma said he found it inspiring to watch the actor create his scenes and also praised his sense of humour. Unko dekhna magic create karte hue ek alag he inspiration tha....Sir ne hasaaya bhi baad mei...Unki haazir-jawaabi ke aage sab fail hai, he added. Aaj ek bahot bada sapna poora hua Verma said he returned home around midnight and decided to write down his experience before forgetting any of the details. Looking back at the day, he described it as the best day of his life and credited Shah Rukhs behaviour with explaining why the actor enjoys such a strong connection with audiences. It was by far the best day of my life and the way Shah sir comforts everybody on set and especially actors, everything about him tells you kyun log itna pyaar karte hai unko, kyun wo KING hain aur hamesha rahenge, he wrote.

[feed_description] => Sonam Bajwas recent fashion choices offer two very different takes on occasion dressing. While one look leans into the drama of a floor-length gown, the other draws from traditional Indian textiles and festive styling. The contrast makes both outfits stand out in their own way. The white crochet gown For her first look, Sonam opted for a white crochet gown featuring a halter neckline, intricate patterns and a long, flowing trail. The openwork detailing gives the outfit a sheer finish, while the floor-length silhouette adds movement to the look. She kept the styling relatively understated, allowing the gown to remain the focal point. Her hair was left open and the makeup stayed subtle, creating a balanced finish against the elaborate detailing of the outfit. The combination of the fitted silhouette, halter neckline and extended trail gives the gown a distinctly evening-ready feel without relying on excessive accessories. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sonam Bajwa (@sonambajwa) A maroon take on traditional style Sonam took a completely different approach in her second look, choosing a maroon Bandhani-inspired ensemble. The traditional-inspired patterns appear across the blouse, skirt and dupatta, giving the outfit a distinctly festive character. She paired the ensemble with a metallic clutch, bringing a contemporary element to the otherwise traditional styling. The combination allows the prints and colour to remain central while the accessory adds a little contrast. Unlike the structured drama of the white gown, this look relies on colour, print and layered detailing to make an impression. The result is a more traditional outfit that still feels suited to a modern wardrobe. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sonam Bajwa (@sonambajwa) Two sides of Sonams style The appeal of these looks lies largely in how different they are. The white crochet gown relies on its silhouette and texture, while the maroon ensemble draws attention through its traditional-inspired patterns and rich colour. Both looks also demonstrate Sonams willingness to move between different fashion categories rather than stick to one signature aesthetic. From a contemporary gown with dramatic detailing to an Indian-inspired festive outfit, the two appearances showcase distinctly different approaches to dressing up. Rather than competing with each other, the looks highlight the range in Sonams wardrobe and her ability to adapt her styling to different moods and occasions.
