And by chance, I went there for an event to interview a very big celebrity and the band was also there to meet the same person."advertisement"Because I was late, I was in the last batch with those members of the band. So I asked one of the members, 'Who are you and where are you from', and he told me they are from BTS. I thought that the Korean organising team has called for a behind-the-scenes team. I was totally unaware of the fact that they are famous people. Later, when I told people that for 35 minutes I was in the same room as them, they fainted," he added.

Morning saliva: Tamannaah Bhatia shares unusual hack for pimples
Actor Tamannaah Bhatia recently opened up about her unusual approach to treating pimples during an interview with India Today's sister channel, The Lallantop. The actor suggested the use of morning saliva as a natural remedy for a candid conversation, the 35-year-old stated, "Pimple hack? Spit. Saliva. It works. I mean, the morning spit."Bhatia explained her understanding of the science behind this hack. "Because it's scientific, right? Like when you wake up in the morning, basically, your mouth has enough antibacterial elements. I'm no doctor, but this is what I understand. It's a personal hack. I believe there's science to it." she "Your body has already created a lot of antibacterial elements in your mouth when you wake up. Because you've slept, and now you're waking up. So your eyes are full of mucus, your nose is full of mucus, and your mouth has been battling all the bacteria through the night since you haven't brushed your teeth yet. And if you use that spit, it dries up the pimple immediately if it's not cystic." Bhatia further elaborated. Beyond this personal hack, Bhatia also discussed her broader skincare philosophy. "Since I've been in front of the camera, from the age of 24-25, I've been using good skincare. I think that's the more preventive way to go about it. Like, if you want to age gracefully. There are people who love their lines and embrace them. But if you want to slow that process down a bit, and I'm assuming some people would like that, then it's really good to use anti-ageing creams from the age of 25. It helps."Meanwhile, on the professional front, the actor was recently seen in 'Raid 2' song 'Nasha'. - EndsMust Watch
