‘Didn't see my brother for weeks': Soha Ali Khan recalls how Saif once rejected mother Sharmila's affection; expert on nurturing parent-child bond
Striking a balance between work and parenting is a constant struggle for many mothers, and that challenge is no less real for women in the entertainment industry. Actor Soha Ali Khan recently spoke about her mother Sharmila Tagore's efforts to juggle a full-time acting career while raising children, and how it sometimes left an emotional impact on her elder brother, Saif Ali Khan. 'Sometimes, my mother didn't see my brother for weeks. And then, she would rush home to do bedtime with him, and he would be like, 'I don't need you. I don't want you right now' because he was also upset. So he is fine with the didi and then you are like, 'What did I rush home for?' And then you are so stressed about that time that you end up being short with your children, so it's a lot,' Soha told The Hollywood Reporter India. Reflecting on those early years, at the Mother's Day event for YFLO, Sharmila herself had once said, 'I was working two shifts a day and for the first six years of his life, I was really absent. I don't think I was a full-time mom. My husband was there, but I wasn't.' Soha, as a mother herself, spoke about how being away from her daughter, Inaya, affects her. 'Wherever I am in the world, when it's 7 o'clock, I start to get very antsy. That's my ritual with her, bedtime. So even when I was on set, I burst into tears once because we were in Rajasthan and we were shooting in Mandava and it was bedtime and I had not seen her all day, but that was one day,' she said. Counselling psychologist Athul Raj tells 'In early childhood, a child's sense of safety comes from presence, not perfection or big gestures, but the quiet comfort of knowing someone is there. When a parent is absent for a long time, even with good reason, the child doesn't understand; they just feel the void.' He adds that children protest through withdrawal when they've been longing too long. They push away not because they don't care, but because caring has started to hurt. Children seek emotional reliability. When it's missing, they may internalise the absence, making closeness feel unsafe. Still, all is not lost. 'What matters is what happens when the parent returns. If that moment is met with softness and a willingness to acknowledge the child's hurt, it becomes an opportunity for repair. You don't have to explain away your absence — just show you see its impact,' he states. The guilt working parents carry is often quiet but heavy. This doesn't mean you've failed. It means you care deeply. 'The trouble begins when guilt turns into shame. When parents start believing that, they either burn themselves out trying to make up for it or emotionally check out to avoid feeling the ache. Both create more distance, not less,' stresses Raj. He adds that what helps is naming the feeling instead of fighting it. Repair matters more than presence alone. And remember, how you relate to yourself teaches your child how to relate to themselves. If you meet your imperfections with harshness, they may grow up believing love is conditional. But if they see you making room for both ambition and tenderness, they learn love can stretch and hold both.

Viineet Kumar Singh Of Chhaava Fame Beats Vicky Kaushal, Akshay Kumar, Khans At 2025 Box-Office
From Chhaava to Jaat, Viineet Kumar Singh leads 2025's box office race with ₹932.32 crore, surpassing top stars like Vicky Kaushal and Akshay Kumar in a cinematic shake-up. The year 2025 is shaping up to be a landmark one at the Bollywood box office—but not in the way many expected. While A-list heavyweights like Akshay Kumar, Aamir Khan, Salman Khan, and Ajay Devgn continue to draw crowds, it is Viineet Kumar Singh who has emerged as the undisputed leader in terms of box office collections so far this year. With a total of ₹932.32 crore across three theatrical releases, Singh has rewritten the rules of stardom and proven that performance-driven storytelling can trump legacy and lineage in today's cinematic landscape. Viineet's monumental rise has been spearheaded by the roaring success of Chhaava, a historical epic that has taken the nation by storm. The film alone accounts for ₹807.88 crore of his total, making it one of the highest-grossing films of the year. But Viineet's dominance doesn't stop there. His gritty role in Jaat added another ₹118.36 crore to his tally, while Superboys of Malegaon, a smaller but well-received film, contributed ₹6.11 crore, rounding out an exceptional year for the actor. Hot on his heels is Vicky Kaushal, who also starred in Chhaava and matched the film's ₹807.88 crore take. The film's dual lead structure has worked immensely in both actors' favor, and Vicky's nuanced performance has only cemented his status as a bankable and respected star. Though he trails Viineet in total box office earnings for the year, Kaushal remains a vital part of Bollywood's evolving new guard. In third place is Akshay Kumar, whose remarkable consistency continues to pay dividends. With four releases this year—Housefull 5, Kesari Chapter 2, Sky Force, and Kannappa—Akshay has amassed a formidable ₹623.95 crore at the box office. While none of the films individually hit the astronomical numbers of Chhaava, their combined strength has kept Kumar firmly in the top three and demonstrated his unparalleled mass appeal. Aamir Khan, known for his selective and impactful filmography, occupies the fourth spot with Sitaare Zameen Par bringing in ₹245.90 crore. As a spiritual successor to Taare Zameen Par, the film has resonated with both critics and audiences, further solidifying Aamir's reputation for delivering emotionally stirring cinema. Ajay Devgn follows closely behind at number five, thanks to his two releases—Raid 2 and Azaad—which together earned ₹245.46 crore. His portrayal of tough, principled characters continues to draw loyal audiences, even as newer actors are making their presence felt. Rounding out the list is Salman Khan, whose much-anticipated actioner Sikandar grossed ₹184.6 crore. While this is lower than his usual blockbuster numbers, Salman remains a strong player at the box office and a perennial favorite among his fans.
