"(Made three films in a year, and each with a completely different role - I Want to Talk, Housefull 5, Kaalidhar Lapata...
And in all three, such a performance that stood out, such characters - never once did it feel like this was Abhishek Bachchan.)"
He added that in every film he felt like the character.
"Nahi... Sab main yahi laga ki yahi kirdaar hai... Aesa, aaj ke yug main dekhna, alag baat, use sweekar karna, aur saksham nibhana, yeh gun, Abhishek tumne duniya ko dikha diya. Mera hriday se Ashirwad aur dher saara pyaar. Haan haan haan tum mere bete ho aur mujhe tumhari prashansa karte huye koi nahi rok sakta."

Ajay Devgn postpones 'Son Of Sardaar 2' amid 'Saiyaara' wave as Mohit Suri's film mints Rs 45 crore in two days
It has collected Rs 45 crore in two days and now Devgn has postponed the film by a week and it will now release on August 1 read more Ajay Devgn's Son Of Sardaar 2 was all set to arrive in cinemas on July 25 but nobody expected Mohit Suri's Saiyaara to smash records at the box-office. It has collected Rs 45 crore in two days and now Devgn has postponed the film by a week and it will now release on August 1. Chunky Panday's nephew Ahaan Panday made a sensational debut alongside another fresh face Aneet Padda with Saiyaara. The love story, which released yesterday, opened to a thunderous response and earned Rs 21.25 crore on its first day. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD As Ahaan, who followed his uncle Chunky Panday's & cousin Ananya Panday's footsteps, has been garnering love and praises for his performance, the Housefull 5's Instagram post, where he took a dig at the 'Kapoors and Khans' of Bollywood, has gone viral. The post, which featured the pictures of Chunky Panday, Ananya Panday and Ahaan Panday, read the caption, 'In a world of Kapoors and Khans, Pandays came out of syllabus." Several users shared their reactions in Reddit's comment section. While one wrote, 'I mean, Pandays indeed came out of the syllabus. No one could've predicted that Chunky Panday's daughter will have a better career than SRK's daughter and Chunky Panday's nephew will have a better first movie than Amitabh's grandson!" Another commented, 'These nepos should take out each other. That is the drama I am here for." 'Aamir Khan's son, Bachhan's grandson, Saif's son, etc. So many big nepos, it's low-key funny that Chikki Panday's son beat them all, like who even cares for Panday family otherwise?" read another comment. Another user wrote, 'Pandays did come out of the syllabus. Even the one who is not in the acting profession, Alanna, managed to make her way through YouTube."

‘Saiyaara' Day 2 box office collection: Mohit Suri's romance drama inches closer to ₹50 crore mark
Saiyaarais having a dream run at the box office! Director Mohit Suri's romance drama, starring newcomers Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, has collected ₹45.75 crores in its first two days of release. The film is expected to cross the ₹50-crore mark on Sunday (July 20). After making a record for debutant-led films on the opening day, earning ₹21.25 crore on Friday, the film collected ₹24.5 crores on Saturday, as per trade tracking website Sacnilk. As per the website, the film had an overall occupancy of 51.24 per cent on Saturday. Bengaluru registered the highest occupancy (72 per cent) followed by Jaipur and Lucknow (66.5 per cent each). With such a strong opening stand, Saiyaara is expected to beat other recent Hindi titles such as Maa, Maalik, Deva, The Diplomat, and Dino. What fascinates many is how the film's strong opening is despite having almost no media buildup before its release. Suri has revealed that he wished to keep the opening pair away from the pre-release promotions, like he did with his 2013 hit Aashiqui 2, starring Shraddha Kapoor and Aditya Roy Kapur. The move seems to have worked in favour of the film, as filmmaker Sanjay Gupta said, it helped maintain the 'freshness' of the lead pair, making their presence on screen more impactful. The Hindu's review of Saiyaararead, 'With mental health as the villain of the piece, the story echoes the times when love is reduced to a lollipop by market forces. In the digital age, Mohit dials back to the pre-rom-com era, when heartache travelled through the screen on the wings of melodies, sacrifice was considered a virtue, and selfless love was celebrated.' Saiyaara is produced by Akshaye Widhani of Yash Raj Films.

Saudi Arabia's 'Sleeping Prince' passes away after 20 years in coma: A father's heartbreaking tale of hope, perseverance and final goodbye
Credit: X/@AshenTharakaG Prince Al Waleed bin Khaled bin Talal, the name that showed the world what 'a life frozen in time' looks like, has now passed away. The Prince, 36, had been in a coma for 20 years after a car accident. Intensive care, prayers, top-notch medical support, and medical boards stood witness to a 20-year journey of sleeping in silence-one of the longest coma cases in recent medical history, rightly earning him the title 'The Sleeping Prince'. Why the label 'Sleeping Prince'? Born into the Saudi royal family, Prince Alwaleed grew up with dreams of a bright future—but a short-lived one. At the age of 15, the prince was involved in a tragic car accident that left him unconscious ever since. The medical board confirmed that regaining full consciousness and living a 'normal life' like before was, in no way, a probable scenario. After intense brain injuries and internal bleeding, surviving even 20 hours seemed miraculous. But his family did not give hope. A life that could barely hold on for 20 hours endured for 20 years ,2005 to 2025, leaving people wondering how love can sustain even the frailest of links between life and death. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Villa Prices in Dubai Might Be Lower Than You Think! Villa for sale in Dubai | Search Ads Learn More Undo This miracle gave rise to the title 'Sleeping Prince', as the world collectively waited for the day he might wake. How social media saw this journey over the last 20 years: Without having a social media account or posting algorithm-supported reels daily, Prince Alwaleed remained the talk of the town multiple times. The most recent instance came just a month ago, when a video went viral claiming the prince had woken up and reunited with his family. It turned out to be misleading—the video actually featured Saudi billionaire and motorsport personality Yazeed Mohamed Al-Rajhi, not Prince Alwaleed. Rumors of his recovery have repeatedly surfaced, but most were false. The truth is, over the past 20 years, his father explored every possible medical avenue—sometimes resulting in a finger movement, sometimes a brain response. These small signs kept the family going, backed by hope, until today. Credit:X/@calm_933 A father's tale to tell: What began as a father's dream to send his son to military school so he could return more prepared to carry forward the royal legacy ended on July 19, 2025, with the words: "With hearts that believe in God's will and destiny, and with great sadness and sorrow, we mourn our dear son, Prince Alwaleed bin Khaled bin Talal bin Abdulaziz Al Saud. May God have mercy on him, who passed away today." After almost 20 years of emotional turmoil—facing the question countless times of whether to keep his son on life support or let him go—he chose the former. He dedicated his life to his son, showing the world what 'hope' truly looks like. His belief in divine healing kept him beside his son's bedside for two decades. Funeral arrangements: The funeral prayer for men will be held at Imam Turki bin Abdullah Mosque in Riyadh on July 20, following the Asr prayer. For women, the prayer will take place at King Faisal Specialist Hospital after the Dhuhr prayer. Condolences will be received over three days—Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday (July 20th, 21st, and 22nd).
