Aamir Khan Opens Up About Thugs of Hindostan, Reveals These Actresses Rejected Offer
Last Updated: In conversation with Lallantop, Aamir Khan revealed behind the scenes information about the casting and revealed none of the actresses were ready to do film. Aamir Khan is basking in the success of his recently released film, Sitaare Zameen Par. The film has been going strong at the box office. However, recently, he opened up about the casting challenges faced during the making of Thugs of Hindostan. He revealed that top actresses turned down the film. In a candid statement, Aamir also said that the makers did not want him to cast opposite Fatima Sana Sheikh. In conversation with Lallantop, Aamir Khan revealed behind the scenes information about the casting and revealed none of the actresses were ready to do film. 'When we were casting, no heroines agreed to the film. Deepika said no, Alia was a no, and Shraddha also said no." Aamir added, 'Ultimately, Victor (Vijay Krishna Acharya) went with Fatima. However, Aditya Chopra and Victor conveyed that her test was good, but made it clear she won't be made my pair because I played her father in Dangal, the audience might not accept." 'While I don't believe in such aspects because neither am I her father in real life, nor her boyfriend. We're just making a film. Aren't we understimating our audience like they won't understand we are actors," he concluded. Earlier, Aamir Khan spoke about Thugs of Hindostan's failure at Raj Shamani's podcast. He said, 'Mujhe bhi Thugs of Hindostan pasand nahi thi. Aaj main khulke bol sakta hoon — Aditya Chopra (producer) se maine bohot koshish ki unko… Jab film release ho rahi thi, main khud hi khush nahi tha. Kiran Rao (ex-wife) ko pata hai, jab meri film release aati hai, main do mahine tak so nahi pata, mera mind overtime chalta hai (I didn't like Thugs of Hindostan either. Today, I can openly say it — I really tried to convince Aditya Chopra (the producer)… When the film was about to release, I myself wasn't happy. Kiran Rao (my ex-wife) knows that whenever I have a film releasing, I can't sleep for two months — my mind goes into overdrive)." He said, 'Kiran (Rao) ne mujhe bola, 'Release nazdeek aa rahi hai, aur tum itminaan se so rahe ho? Chakkar kya hai?' Maine usse kaha, 'Kiran [Rao], mujhe pata hai yeh film nahi chalne wali.' Mere andar na excitement hai, na anticipation ki log film dekhenge. Mera dil baith gaya hai ki log yeh film dekhenge. Main khud hi film se khush nahi hoon. Lekin jab producer aur director khush hain, toh main kya kar sakta hoon? Thugs of Hindostan also starred Amitabh Bachchan, Katrina Kaif, Fatima Sana Shaikh in pivotal roles. The film barely managed to recover its reported Rs 310 crore budget, with a worldwide gross of Rs 335 crore. First Published: June 29, 2025, 15:51 IST

'TV ek kutte ki zindagi hai...'; Meet actor who was dependent on his wife's income, expressed his pain, and once worked for Rs 1,500 a day, he is…
There are many great artists in the TV industry. Many artists achieve popularity and recognition after a long struggle, while many get lost. One of the most talented actors has recalled his struggle. He told that when he was not getting work, his wife was running the house. Be it television, OTT platform or film industry, this actor has gradually made his mark. But his journey to popularity was not easy. There was a time when he faced a huge financial crisis and had to completely depend on the earnings of his wife Gautami. The name of this actor is Ram Kapoor. How Ram Kapoor's controversial statement made headlines In an interview to 'Humans of Bombay', Ram Kapoor said that if TV actors invest wisely, they will have enough money for all the needs of life. He said, 'When you reach the top and are wise like Ronit Roy, Sakshi Tanwar, and me, you have earned enough for your 3 or 4 generations.' Ram Kapoor said, 'I know Ronit and Sakshi have done it, and they are set for 4 generations. For 15-20 years, I have charged a very hefty amount as fees. TV is a dog's life; if you make it, it's fine.' When Ram Kapoor earned Rs 1,500 per day Ram Kapoor said, 'After a year of my marriage, I had to live on Gautami's earnings because I had no work. Nobody remembers this. Gautami was doing 'Lipstick' at that time. I was doing nothing. When I started, I started with Rs 1,500 per day on Doordarshan. Yes, that was my beginning. You have to be ready to start again.' Ram Kapoor also spoke about Ronit Roy and Sakshi Tanwar's success and their journey in the industry. Calling Ronit his 'senior', the actor said, 'He started out in films, but he didn't succeed. He didn't have money to eat until Ekta took him on television, after which he never looked back.' What Ram Kapoor said about Ronit Roy Ram Kapoor further added, 'But he (Ronit) has seen failure, so when he got success, he respected it from day one. So I looked up to Ronit, and I learnt a little bit from Ronit. His investments have always been right.' Citing the example of Sakshi Tanwar, Ram Kapoor said, 'Sakshi is a very sensible girl. She is not fond of fancy cars like me. She has enough money for 6 generations because she spends very wisely.' Where to watch Ram Kapoor's web series Talking about the work front, Ram Kapoor recently appeared in the JioHotstar web series 'Mistry'. Mona Singh and Abhijeet Chitre have also played important roles in it. The series is directed by Rishabh Seth. This series is an adaptation of the American superhit series 'Monk'.

Jeff Bezos And Lauren Sanchez's Wedding Featured Michelin Fare, Parisian Sweets
Last Updated: Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's $50 million wedding featured meals from a Michelin star chef, delectable Parisian desserts, and a bold red wine. Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and former American journalist Lauren Sánchez made it official on Friday in an opulent wedding ceremony. The couple exchanged vows on the picturesque Venetian island of San Giorgio, turning the historic setting into an extravagant stage. Reports suggest the celebration came with a staggering price tag, approximately $50 million, which roughly equates to Rs 427 crore. From Ivanka Trump to Oprah Winfrey and Bill Gates, some of the most renowned personalities from across the globe made up the star-studded guest list at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's wedding. Guests were treated to more than just a morning meal; it was an immersive culinary experience. With a rumoured cost of 1,000 euros per head (Rs 1 lakh and above) for breakfast alone, this was fine dining at its most elevated. The meal was crafted by none other than Fabrizio Mellino, the Italian culinary prodigy behind the Michelin-starred restaurant Quattro Passi in Nerano. Known for turning humble family recipes into artful haute cuisine, Mellino brought southern Italian tradition to the global elite. The chef shared a picture with his team after the wedding on his Instagram Stories. The couple also took a detour to Paris ahead of the big day for a very specific mission: sourcing their wedding cake from pastry wizard Cédric Grolet. The social media sensation, with queues that span blocks and a Madrid outpost for impatient fans, is renowned for desserts that look like sculptures but melt like dreams. The wedding menu remained rooted in tradition. As reported by The Daily Mail, the courses celebrated the flavours of southern Italy. The highlight? Mellino's signature spaghetti alla Nerano – a dish of fried zucchini and smoked provolone, elevated through technique and nostalgia. For dessert, Venice's oldest patisserie, Rosa Salva, contributed with a nod to history: delicate nineteenth-century fishermen's biscuits served as edible party favours. Additional sweets included artisanal mignon pastries and miniature glass desserts featuring regional ingredients like lemon, ricotta, and pear. No Italian spread is complete without wine. As a tribute, Venice's mayor, Luigi Brugnaro, gifted Bezos a magnum of Amarone – a bold, luxurious red wine known for both its depth and decadence. From heritage cuisine to haute patisserie, the wedding was a carefully curated fusion of indulgence, history, and heart.
