When Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan burst crackers outside Rakesh Roshan's room
It has been 30 years since Karan Arjun was released, but the film remains etched in the memories of fans for its epic tale and the legendary chemistry between its two leading men, Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan. Now, a recent interview with veteran actor Ashok Saraf offers new glimpses into the mischief and camaraderie that defined the film's behind-the-scenes moments. Speaking to Radio Nasha Official, Saraf confirmed long-circulating stories of the pranks the Khans would pull on set. 'Yes, yes,' he said when asked if Shah Rukh and Salman used to burst crackers and fire fake guns outside director Rakesh Roshan's room. 'I never used to go wherever this was happening. Kisi ko sataana ho toh main door hu (If someone's being troubled, I stay far away). But yes, both of them used to have a lot of fun.' According to Saraf, the duo wasn't alone. Their frequent partner-in-prank was none other than legendary comic Johny Lever. Saraf added, 'With him, I'd also... well, I wouldn't join in the pranks, but I'd be around.' In an earlier Radio Nasha interview, director Rakesh Roshan recalled, 'They would be outside my room shooting guns. I would be sleeping at night and I would hear guns going off, bottles flying. I would ask them, 'What are you doing?'' Despite the disruption, Roshan has always spoken fondly of his two leads, whom he considered like sons. Shah Rukh Khan, in the docu-drama The Roshans, reflected on those days with equal parts nostalgia and sheepishness. 'Pinkie ji scolded me a lot,' he admitted. ''You are troubling Guddu a lot. I didn't expect it from you.' Between Salman and me, I was slightly better behaved—at least on the face of it. I was like, 'I didn't do anything. It's all his (Salman) doing.' We were two young kids, really troubling a father figure, to be honest.' Released in 1995, Karan Arjun starred Shah Rukh and Salman as reincarnated brothers seeking vengeance for their mother (played by Rakhee Gulzar), with a powerful supporting cast including Kajol and Amrish Puri. The film was a massive hit and has since earned cult status in Indian cinema.

Salman Khan wishes he'd heeded father Salim Khan's advice earlier
Bollywood star Salman Khan recounted the precious piece of advice he got from his father, the legendary screenwriter Salim Khan. He shared a thoughtful message that no one can force anyone to do something and wished he had heard his father's advice earlier; however, Khan said it's "never too late". Taking to Instagram, he wrote a cryptic post along with a picture of himself in black T-shirt, "Present becomes yr past, past catches up 2 your future, present Is a gift, do right with it, mistakes repeated becomes a habit n then your character, dont blame any 1 , no 1 can make u do anything that u don't want to. My dad just said this to me, it's so true. Kash I heard this earlier but never too late." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Salman Khan (@beingsalmankhan) After his post, netizens dropped heart emojis and expressed their love for the superstar. Salman was recently seen in Sikandar, alongside Rashmika Mandanna. The film also starred Kajal Aggarwal, Sharman Joshi, Sathyaraj, Jatin Sarna, Sanjay Kapoor, Prateik, Smita Patil, and Kishore. In the film, Salman plays Sanjay "Sikandar" Rajkot, a man trying to fix his past after a tragic incident. Despite the big names, Sikandar, directed by AR Murugadoss, failed at the box office. Khan will don the army uniform in Apoorva Lakhia's directorial Battle of Galwan, based on the Galwan valley clashes at the India-China border in 2020. Twenty Indian soldiers had died during the Galwan valley clash on June 16, 2020, while the Chinese side too faced heavy casualties. Following the clashes, tensions between India and China rose with the army deploying formations near the Galwan Valley, along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in Ladakh, and undertook a range of activities such as surveying border areas to stop a "possible" Chinese aggression. Since the clashes, India and China have disengaged from various border areas steadily, and have also created a buffer zone in various areas. Salman took to social media earlier to announce the project, unveiling a powerful motion poster.

India's Modi announces credit worth $565 million to Maldives
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday announced a $565-million line of credit to the Maldives during a visit to the Indian Ocean archipelago, as the two countries launched formal talks for a free-trade agreement. Modi is visiting the Maldives, known for its upmarket tourist resorts, to mark the 60th anniversary of its independence and diplomatic relations between the two countries. The announcement came during Modi's joint media statement with Maldives' President Mohamed Muizzu. The two-day visit is crucial to India's ambition to control the seas and shipping routes of the Indian Ocean in a race with its regional rival China. It also marks the further easing of diplomatic tensions between the two nations that followed the election of pro-China Muizzu in 2023. Regional powers India and China compete for influence in the archipelago nation, which is strategically located in the Indian Ocean. On Friday, Modi witnessed the exchange of agreements to cooperate in sectors such as fisheries, health, tourism and digital development. He also formally handed dozens of heavy vehicles to the Maldives' defense forces. 'India is Maldives' closest neighbor. Maldives holds an important place in both India's neighborhood- first policy and ocean vision,' Modi said. 'India is also proud to be Maldives' most trusted friend.' The line of credit will be used for 'infrastructure and development projects in line with the priorities of the people of the Maldives,' he said. 'India will continue to support Maldives in developing its defence capabilities. Peace, stability and prosperity in the Indian Ocean region is our common goal,' he added. During Muizzu's visit to India last October, India announced financial support to the cash-strapped Maldives in the form of a $100-million treasury bills rollover and the countries signed a $400-million currency swap agreement. Tensions between India and the Maldives grew since Muizzu, who favored closer ties with China, was elected in 2023 after defeating India-friendly incumbent Ibrahim Mohamed Solih. Leading up to the election, Muizzu had promised to expel Indian soldiers deployed in the Maldives to help with humanitarian assistance. Last year New Delhi replaced dozens of its soldiers in the Maldives with civilian experts. Measure by Modi to promote tourism in India's Lakshadweep archipelago, off the southwestern coast of the Indian mainland, also sparked anger from Maldivians, who saw it as a move to lure Indian tourists away from their country. Indian celebrities then called for a tourism boycott to the Maldives. The dispute deepened when Muizzu visited China ahead of India in January last year, a move seen by New Delhi as a snub. On his return, Muizzu spelled out plans to rid his tiny nation of dependence on India for health facilities, medicines and import of staples. Relations started to improve after Muizzu attended Modi's swearing-in ceremony for a third five-year term. Muizzu has toned down his anti-Indian rhetoric, and official contacts with New Delhi have intensified as concerns grew about Maldives' economy. India has long been a critical provider of development assistance to the Maldives. Meanwhile, the Maldives joined China's Belt and Road Initiative in 2013 to build ports and highways and expand trade as well as China's influence across Asia, Africa, and Europe. Modi will attend the Maldives' 60th independence anniversary from being a British protectorate on Saturday. Separately, the Reserve Bank of India has 'won the battle against inflation' but the war is ongoing as price stability remains the central goal, Governor Sanjay Malhotra said during a fireside chat at a Financial Express event on Friday. The RBI delivered a larger-than-expected 50 basis point rate cut at its June policy review but shifted its stance to 'neutral,' suggesting limited room for further easing. However, with retail inflation falling to a six-year low and likely to hit a record low in July, calls have grown for at least one more rate cut this year. Many analysts argue the sharp disinflation also points to weakening demand in the economy. Malhotra said monetary policy being forward looking, will place greater focus on the outlook for growth and inflation, rather than current levels when the policy panel meets on Aug. 6. The change in stance to 'neutral' did not mean a reversal from the easing of policy, he said. 'We have the flexibility to move up, down or pause. Yes, it does mean, the bar for further easing is higher than it would have been if it (stance) was accommodative,' he added. Monetary policy transmission has quickened due to rate cuts and will help in supporting economic growth as overall flow of funds to the industry and economy is improving, Malhotra said. Further monetary policy measures would depend on the requirement but the central bank has enough ammunition in its armory to use as and when required, he added. Agencies
