Legendary lyricist Javed Akhtar has given many iconic songs to Hindi cinema. However, did you know Javed Akhtar once refused to work with Karan Johar in Kuch Kuch Hota Hai after writing the title song? Here’s what he shared.

In an interview with comedian Sapan Verma’s YouTube channel, Javed openly talked about the reason for declining to work in Kuch Kuch Hota Hai and later regretting it. He shared, “I consider the 80’s to be the darkest time for Hindi cinema. People were either writing double-meaning songs or songs with no meaning at all. I avoid films that, in any way, had lyrics I found absurd or vulgar. This principle led me to turn down a very successful film— Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. I had written the first song for it, but when Karan decided on the title,...

They were shooting for Jaati Hoon Main (song), and I remember calling Kajol. I said, I am coming with my father, I don’t know anyone, at least you’ll be there. So, she was like, yeah I’m there, so I went, but by the time I reached she was giving her shot, she was busy.”

It takes a lot of willpower and grace to remain oneself even after stardom hits you. I have seen success affect actors in two ways. They either change completely or pretend not to change.

Alia Bhatt is the exception. She has not changed one bit since she sashayed into sight in swirl of girlie poise in Karan Johar’s Student Of The Year in 2012. Alia was not only Student Of The Year — She was the whole school. Endowed with the kind of natural talent and fresh beauty that I saw in Lucille Ball and Sridevi, Alia was just the antidote to the syntheticity that had crept into Bollywood ever since the norm and benchmark for feminine persuasiveness became how much and how frequently an actress is seen on social media.

Like Tiger Shroff, Alia Bhatt was treated as a bit of a joke on social media when she started. I...

When Hrithik Roshan Made A Hilarious Jibe on Salman Khan & Aamir Khan! ( Photo Credit – Instagram )

Every actor secretly wishes to work with the Bollywood superstars Salman Khan and Aamir Khan. They have an undeniable pull in the whole wide world, and the biggest proof is blockbusters like Bajrangi Bhaijaan and Dangal. Hrithik Roshan once brutally mocked the Khans for their ‘height,’ but that did not go very well with the fans. Scroll below for a lesser-known throwback.

Salman Khan and Hrithik Roshan are part of Yash Raj Films’ (Yrf) spy universe. Fans witnessed a crossover between Bhaijaan and Shah Rukh Khan in Pathaan. There were rumors that Hr would also make a cameo as Kabir, but that unfortunately did not happen. Hopefully, War 2 will be the film where we get to see all three of them together on the big screens.

During its second season, Krrish duo Hrithik Roshan...

The Bollywood film industry has been home to numerous iconic friendships, yet few rival the enduring bond between Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan. Their friendship, spanning several decades, has been extensively chronicled.

A particularly unforgettable episode from their camaraderie occurred during the production of the 1995 hit film Karan Arjun. In a recent discussion, actor Johny Lever, who was also part of the cast, recounted an incident that highlighted the duo’s playful and spirited nature.

Johny Lever shared that Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan frequently engaged in lighthearted pranks on one another as well as on the cast and crew. On one occasion, Salman escalated the fun by brandishing a fake gun and feigning an attempt to shoot Shah Rukh.

“We were filming in Jaipur, and Salman would tease Shah Rukh daily,” Johny Lever reminisced. “We were concerned that Shah Rukh might take offense, but he would simply laugh it off.

Hotel Hell, hosted by Gordon Ramsay, featured struggling hotels across the U.S. with owners in serious denial about their problems. Some venues are still open. The best episodes were often the wildest, such as Richard's party bar hotel and Verindar's filthy hotel with poor staff relations. Other memorable episodes include Brian's irresponsible ownership, Lisa's swinger's hangout, and Karan's eccentricities as a former teacher turned hotel owner.

One of the many TV shows Gordon Ramsay has had on the air is Hotel Hell, and there are some crazy owners to revisit. In this series, which aired for three seasons from 2012 to 2016, the world-renowned chef visited flailing hotels across the U.S. to discover the problem and try to help them fix it. Some venues from Hotel Hell are still open, but others are closed. While he always checked out the restaurant in the hotel, he looked at everything from...

One of the highlights of the Busan International Film Festival is its Open Cinema section. Its free screenings take place in the Biff Theater, an outdoor venue with room for hundreds of spectators. This year’s program included Thomas Cailley’s French sci-fi The Animal Kingdom; Revolver Lily, a Japanese period thriller starring Haruka Ayase as a super-assassin; and the Bollywood musical Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani / Rocky and Rani’s Love Story.

Directed by Bollywood veteran Karan Johar, Rocky and Rani pits two top stars––Alia Bhatt and Ranveer Singh––in a screwball romance that unfolds on a massive scale. Singh is Rocky, a “filthy rich” heir to a laddoo pastry fortune. Bhatt’s Rani hosts a controversial talk show where she defends liberal causes.

You know the formula: meet-cute, enormous song and dance, stupid argument, another gigantic song, eventual reconciliation followed by an even bigger production number.
