Anupam Kher advises Govinda amid rumoured affair: Dont allow your personal life or habits to overshadow your entire life

Govinda has been in the spotlight over reports surrounding his personal life and his reportedly troubled relationship with wife Sunita Ahuja. Amid rumours of an alleged affair with his co-star Komal Rani Swarnkar, the actor recently visited the much-photographed Lalbaugcha Raja pandal with Komal. Sunita had also visited the pandal earlier that day, arriving alone. Amid the ongoing speculation, actor Anupam Kher has now shared his thoughts on Govinda and advised him to ensure that his personal life and habits do not overshadow his professional journey. Anupam Kher advises Govinda In an interview with Faridoon Shahryar, Anupam Kher spoke about his equation with Govinda and praised his abilities as an actor. He said, I am very fond of Govinda. I think he is one of the finest actors that I have worked with. I have done 10-12 films with him. Improvisation, acting, dance no one can compete with him. But you should not allow your personal life or your habits to overshadow your entire life. Anupam also addressed the attention surrounding Govindas personal life and the rumours involving Komal. However, he clarified that he did not want to pass judgment on the actor. He said, I am no one to pass a judgment on him. He knows his life better, and he can deal with it. I called him once and he said he will call me back. I wanted to tell him, this too shall pass. The veteran actor further said that everyone goes through difficult phases in life. According to him, Govinda has gotten bogged down by his surroundings, by his life, but has not given up. Anupam added, I dont think the problem is that he doesnt know how to market himself. I think he has gotten bogged down by his surroundings, by his life, but he hasnt given up yet, so there is hope. I pray that he bounces back and does much more work than he is doing. Kashmera Shah reacts to Govindas pandal visit Meanwhile, Govindas nephew Krushna Abhisheks wife Kashmera Shah also reacted to his visit to the pandal with Komal. Taking to Instagram, she shared a picture along with a cryptic note that read, I can't believe that people are glamorising and posting about a mystery woman'. Stop glorifying homebreakers and stop idolising men who leave their devoted wives for younger, ambitious girls. Disgusting. Expect more sanity and more morality from our people. Please stop this madness. Although Kashmera did not mention anyone by name, her post led to speculation that she was expressing support for Sunita. The post came hours after Govinda was photographed at the pandal with Komal. Sunita Ahuja shares her reaction Sunita also addressed the situation while speaking to the paparazzi. She said, Insaano ko jitna bhi pyaar do faida nahi hai, dhoka hi dete hai. Inko (pets) pyaar karo hamesha chipke rehte hai. Winter mujhe hamesha chhodhne aata hai. Insaano se achche toh janwar hote hai (No matter how much love you give humans, it's of no use; they betray you. Love them (pets), they always cling to you. My dog always comes to drop me. Animals are better than humans). She further added, Janwaron se pyaar karo, insaano se nahi. Dhokebaaz hote hai insaan (Love animals, not humans. Humans are cheaters).

Rajkummar Rao recalls standing outside Amitabh Bachchans bungalow and Shah Rukh Khans Mannat in Kaun Banega Crorepati Season 18

Rajkummar Rao recently opened up about his early days and the actors who inspired him during an appearance on Kaun Banega Crorepati Season 18. The actor, who appeared on the show along with Wamiqa Gabbi and Ujjawal Nikam, spoke to host Amitabh Bachchan about his admiration for Shah Rukh Khan and his initial days in Mumbai. During the conversation, Amitabh Bachchan asked Rajkummar about Shah Rukh Khan, especially since both actors share a connection with Delhi. Rajkummar recalled how Shah Rukhs journey from Delhi to becoming a Bollywood star had inspired him to pursue acting. He said, Sir, jaise ki woh khud Delhi se hain aur maine bhi kaafi kam umar mein soch liya tha ki mujhe acting karni hain. Aur ek aur baat Sir, mere mummy ke kamre mein humesha aapki ek poster hoti thi kyuki aap heen sabse number one rahe hain aur aap se hum sab inspire hue hain. Toh jaise main keh raha tha, Shah Rukh Sir ke journey se kaafi inspire hua main, ki kaise ek ladka Delhi se nikala ek middle class family se, phir theatre kiya aur TV mein itne saare shows kiye aur fir bohot bada superstar ban gaya. Toh jab main pehli baar jab Mumbai aaya tha ek show keliye aaya tha par waha selection nahi hua lekin main humesha aapke bunglow ke saamne aur Mannat ke samne khada rehta tha. Rajkummar also recalled that his first visit to Mumbai was for an audition for a show, but he was not selected. He added that during those early days, he would often stand outside Amitabh Bachchans bungalow and Shah Rukh Khans residence, Mannat. Amitabh Bachchan also shared his experience of working with Shah Rukh Khan and spoke about the actors approach towards challenges and people around him. He said, Sir, main batata hoon maine unke sath kaam kiya hain aur voh aise insaan hain ki voh kisi bhi baat par haar nahi mante, koi bhi samasya ho voh sirf bolte hain aur samne wale ka confidence kitna badate hain. The conversation highlighted Rajkummars early admiration for Shah Rukh Khan while also bringing up Amitabh Bachchans own association with the superstar. The episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati Season 18 is set to feature Rajkummar Rao, Wamiqa Gabbi and Ujjawal Nikam in conversation with Amitabh Bachchan.

EXCLUSIVE: My relation with Shahid Kapoor has grown further with Farzi Season 2, shares Bhuvan Arora; actor also reveals status of the new season

Bhuvan Aroras Waiting Hai recently started streaming to a positive response. He will next be seen soon in the Season 2 of Dupahiya, which will stream on Amazon Prime Video from October 1. His biggest claim to fame was the 2023 web show Farzi, which also starred Shahid Kapoor. In an exclusive interview with Bollywood Hungama, Bhuvan looked at the importance of that project in his career saying, Farzi has the biggest importance in my filmography. Before that, I had done around 12-15 projects. But I got a lot of love from the audience from Farzi and now with Waiting Hai. Both these shows are very special for me along with the film Amaran. These projects have been very encouraging and motivating for me. But Farzi was the first show that put me onto the limelight. People noticed me on a major scale. Bhuvans on screen chemistry with Shahid Kapoor was one of the highlights of Farzi. Speaking about his off-screen bond with the star, he said, Our bond has become better in Season 2, on a personal level. During Season 1, we newly started knowing each other. But once you spend time together, the relationship matures with the person. This has happened with us too. I feel our relation has grown further in the second season. Shahid bhai ke saath mazaa aata hai. The second season of Farzi has been in the making since quite some time. When asked about the release plan, Bhuvan calmly said, Yaar, this is not in our hands. We knead the dough but we dont know when the cooked roti will arrive on the plate (laughs). The last leg will be finished in the coming days. I hope somewhere next year it should come. Definitely not this year. Directed by Raj and DK, Farzi also stars Vijay Sethupathi, Raashii Khanna, Kay Kay Menon, Zakir Hussain among others.

'World Cup In South Africa Will Be Exciting': Prasidh Looks Ahead At Global Showpiece

ODI World Cup: India fast bowler Prasidh Krishna is excited for the upcoming ODI World Cup 2027 in South Africa, Zimbabwe and Namibia as the conditions are set to assist the fast bowlers in the African conditions. The global showpiece returns to South Africa after 24 years and the Indian bowlers would be looking to make the most of the conditions and give the team the best shot at glory. As India enter a crucial preparatory phase for the World Cup with an upcoming three-match ODI series against the West Indies, Prasidh looks ahead to the global tournament and outlines what challenges a bowler faces in the 50-over format. The ODI format is very interesting, and I think its the toughest format because you have to adapt between different phases of the game. For a bowler who has to operate in all three phases, the powerplay has made it even more challenging. But thats the challenge. The harder things get, the fewer people there are who can do it well. Thats what Im looking forward to, Prasidh told JioStar. One-day cricket is exciting, and a World Cup in South Africa will be particularly exciting for fast bowlers. High-scoring games have become the norm, with 300 and 350 now becoming regular scores. But for us as bowlers, the challenge is to restrict the opposition as much as possible and come up with different tactics to get the job done, he added. After hosting the Windies for three ODIs and five T20Is, India will travel to New Zealand for a full-fledged all-format series featuring five T20Is, as many ODIs and two Tests. The tally speedster is now an India regular in the Tests and ODIs and spoke on the New Zealand series, which will be crucial for the Men in Blue. New Zealand is going to be a completely different challenge. Its a beautiful place to play, but as a bowler, it tests you in every way: your skill, your endurance and your ability to keep coming back session after session. After hosting the Windies for three ODIs and five T20Is, India will travel to New Zealand for a full-fledged all-format series featuring five T20Is, as many ODIs and two Tests. The tally speedster is now an India regular in the Tests and ODIs and spoke on the New Zealand series, which will be crucial for the Men in Blue. Also Read: Special Cricket Stories As fast bowlers, were definitely going to be tested. Youre expected to do a lot more in New Zealand than in the subcontinent, and thats the challenge Im looking forward to, he said. Article Source: IANS
