Kubbra opened up about the one woman who has been her constant source of strength and inspiration. Sharing a fond childhood memory, Kubbra told IANS, "My mom almost treated me like a China doll, like delicate, pretty, interesting. I mean, there's so much that my mother has done for me in my childhood. It's insane. Okay, like she changed schools for me because I was bullied. She never sat down and looked at the society and be like, 'Oh, no problem. This is how my daughter will deal with all of this.' She always tried to make me stronger than society. And that is an incredible, incredible gift that I will always take in my heart. "We had a tailor master and his name was Balaji Tailor. He used to sit in a small little tailoring shop in a tiny little area in Bangalore called Varnarpet I'm not even joking it's like V-A-N-A-R-P-E-T in Bangalore all right and my mum would go to him, And she would pick all the clothes, you know, like the catalogs, not magazines, like catalogs. And then she would take one collar from this catalogue. She'll take one frill from the other catalogue. She will take one A-line design from another catalogue. She'll do a cuff from one catalogue. She'll take a button from one catalogue and then she will go. She will buy all these things and then she will put clothes for me together. And I used to be quite an ingrate and I think I used to dirty them. I used to get tiny beatings also," she added. Revealing the one thing that she wants to carry from her mother, the 'Sacred Games' actress shared, "I think I want to carry the never die attitude from my mom. My mom's a fighter. My mom is incredible. And at the same time, she's not been hardened by society. If anything, she has such a child inside her, and she's so curious, and she's so excited. I think she's a really wonderful woman." This story has been sourced from a third party syndicated feed, agencies.

12 May,2025 09:51 PM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentVeteran actress Zeenat Aman has always brought candour and charm to her reflections on Bollywood’s golden era. In a recent post, she opened up about her brief and only on-screen collaboration with Rishi Kapoor, revealing that their professional and social interactions were surprisingly minimal despite being part of the same film industry circle. Zeenat Aman on her only on-screen appearance with Rishi Kapoor “Here’s the truth,” she began candidly, “of all the men I worked with from the Kapoor khandan, Rishi and I interacted the least both socially and professionally.” Despite their careers overlapping for years, the two shared screen space just once—in a single song from the 1977 hit Hum Kisise Kum Naheen. Aman revealed that her appearance in the film was a special favor for director Nasir Hussain, who considered her something of a “lucky talisman” after the massive success of Yaadon Ki Baaraat. Unable to say no, she agreed to do a guest role that featured a romantic scene and a lively qawwali number—the only one of her career. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Zeenat Aman (@thezeenataman) Zeenat and Rishi's height difference story Recounting the shoot with Kapoor, whom she affectionately refers to as “Chintu ji,” Aman shared a humorous anecdote that spoke volumes about the beauty standards in cinema at the time. “Those of you who follow this page know that my co-stars often found my height prohibitive,” she wrote. In an era when a taller heroine was seen as undesirable next to a male lead, adjustments had to be made—literally. As the two actors filmed a flirtatious scene seated on a russet leather couch, it became apparent that their positions made Zeenat appear taller than Rishi. “Much to Chintu ji’s chagrin, Nasir Saab propped him up on first one and then two cushions to make him appear taller than me!” Aman recalled with good-humored nostalgia. She ended her post with a playful nod to the relatability of on-screen banter, asking her female followers, “After all, which one of you ladies reading this has never accused your paramour of something along those lines?” In an industry where image was everything, this behind-the-scenes memory is a refreshing reminder of the humor and humility that often accompanied Bollywood’s biggest stars.- “Jahaan chikni surat dekhte ho, phisal jaate ho!”
12 May,2025 09:35 PM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentIbrahim Ali Khan, one of Bollywood's most promising newcomers, recently made his digital debut with Nadaaniyan opposite Khushi Kapoor. In a recent interview, Ibrahim revealed two most valuable advice he received. One was from his father and actor Saif Ali Khan, the other from Priyanka Chopra. Ibrahim on best advice he got In an interview with GQ, Ibrahim Ali Khan was asked about the best advice he got. Talking about the same, he said, "From two people. My dad said this is not the year 2000 when a star can just walk around in a movie and it can be a blockbuster. Today you must be very prepared, and be a quick learner. Most importantly, he said the script and the filmmaker are two things you cannot compromise on." He further shared what Priyanka Chopra told him after the release of his debut film. "The second one was from Priyanka Chopra. She sent me a very sweet message saying she watched the film and thinks I have a bright future. She said I have to hold my head high and keep grinding, and that I must grow a thick skin. Coming from someone as accomplished as she is, I felt really comforted and motivated." Ibrahim on similarities with father Saif Ali Khan Further, he was asked about the similarities between him and Saif, given that he mirrors his father's youthful features and playful nature. Ibrahim humbly acknowledged the comparison, expressing that while he shares many traits with Saif, he is still far from being what his father was in his early days. Ibrahim shared the traits he inherited from his father, saying, “I’m not as wild as my dad was, but I can be goofy and enjoy myself. That’s one thing I’ve definitely got from him. It’s hard to miss that you’re a mirror image of your dad. Back in the day, Saif’s wild child reputation was legendary. He was bratty, partied hard, and got into brawls.” When asked if people ever tell him he reminds them of Saif, he recalled his mother saying it, "Sometimes. At home, it’s scary when my mom and I are arguing and she goes, ‘Oh, you remind me of Saif.’ And I’m like, ‘Oh god, okay!’ What do I even say to her then?" Ibrahim's upcoming film Speaking about his upcoming film, Ibrahim is set to star in Sarzameen, directed by Kayoze Irani. He will appear alongside Prithviraj Sukumaran and Kajol in the film.
12 May,2025 08:49 PM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentTension between India and Pakistan has been at its peak at the border areas. Amid this veteran actor Anupam Kher shared an emotional video revealing why he felt “heavy-hearted” before leaving for an international trip. The actor is scheduled to attend Cannes Film Festival 2025 for the premiere of his directorial Tanvi- The Great. Anupam Kher feels sad leaving country Kher admitted that his heart felt uneasy — a feeling rooted not in personal anxiety, but in his deep connection to his country. Taking to Instagram handle, Kher posted a video of him writing, “Country is the only one that can make you feel strong! Just like that! My mind was a little heavy, so I thought I should talk to you people from my heart. And didn't realize the video got longer! If you like it then watch it completely! If you like it more then share it too! Jai Hind! Hail India! #India #Hindustan.” In the clip, Anupam Kher could be heard saying, “I don't have any special reason to make this video. I was packing my stuff and I'm going abroad tomorrow. I was feeling a little heavy. I wasn't enjoying it. The thing I'm going for is exciting. Tanvi The Great's new beginning is happening. So, I should be very exciting. It should be very exciting for me. I should be very excited. But I was thinking, what's happening? Then I thought, maybe I read some comments on social media in the morning. I didn't enjoy it. That's why I was feeling sad. Then I thought about my life. Whenever I feel heavy, I think about my life. Then I feel, where did I start from and where have I reached? Then I feel good.” In the over eight-minute video, the actor reflected on his journey and his unbreakable bond with India. “Whenever I feel low, I think about where I started and where I’ve reached. That gives me strength. I realized I’m only eight years younger than my country. Bharat was born on August 15, 1947, and I was born on March 7, 1955. We’ve grown up together — like siblings.” He reminisced about the wars India faced—1962, 1965, and 1971 — and the impact they had on his childhood in Shimla. “I remember the sirens, digging trenches, and covering windows with newspapers. Every joy and sorrow of this nation feels personal to me. That’s how deeply I’m connected to Bharat.” Kher went on to speak about patriotism, emphasizing that his love for the country isn’t about objectivity. “I studied in a Hindi-medium school. I don’t think in English — I think in Hindi. So when someone criticizes India, I don’t get angry anymore; I feel sad. I feel sad not for India, but for the people who speak poorly of it.” The 70-year-old actor also spoke about his early struggles. “I came to this city 43 years ago with Rs 37 in my pocket. Today, I’ve completed 545 films. I live in a rented house, but I have a car, a bungalow, and, above all, I have my mother. Who gave me all this? This country did. Of course, we work hard, but it is this land that makes our dreams possible.” Anupam concluded by remembering the Indian soldiers and their families.
