Ameesha Patel REACTS To Saiyaara Being Compared To Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai: ‘25 Years Lage, But…'
Saiyaara, starring debutants Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, is creating havoc at the box office! The film's success is drawing comparisons to the 2000 blockbuster Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai, which famously launched the careers of debutants Hrithik Roshan and Ameesha Patel. Now, Ameesha Patel has finally reacted to the parallels being drawn between Saiyaara and Kaho Naa…Pyaar Hai. She said that while she hasn't watched Ahaan and Aneet's film, she hopes they create 'Gadar' at the box office. She also expressed gratitude that Kaho Naa…Pyaar Hai remains a benchmark in Bollywood, and that it took 25 years for a debutant-led love story to be compared to their cult film.
Ameesha Patel took to X (formerly Twitter) to welcome Saiyaara stars Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda to the movies. She wrote, 'Wishing the Saiyaara couple ahaan n Aneet all the best !! May u continue to create GADAR at the box office in the future films as well !! KAHAA NAA PYAAR HAIN shine bright always n welcome to the movies." Her post has gone viral!

Meanwhile, Ameesha was also spotted by the paparazzi yesterday, where she was asked about Saiyaara's comparisons to Kaho Naa…Pyaar Hai. She replied, 'First of all, I'd like to wish both these newcomers who have debuted all the very best of luck. And I hope they go on to create 'Gadar' at the box office. But honestly, I haven't seen the film, nor have any of my friends. No one I know has watched it. So commenting on the film itself would be wrong. But yes, I have also been seeing this comparison. Not just now, but even before the film's release. Social media and PR teams were already comparing it to Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai."
'All I can say is, when Hrithik and I made our debut, we became the 'OG international crushes' overnight, and we had become sensations, and there was no comparison back then. And now, after 25 years, if a debut love story is finally being compared to Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai, it shows the kind of benchmark our film has become. I am very grateful Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai is the benchmark that's been compared to. I wish the newcomers the very best again, and I hope this new couple continues to create 'Gadar' going forward. 25 saal lage, lekin kisi ki to comparison humari cult film se ho rahi hai. (It's taken 25 years, but at least someone's debut is finally being compared to our cult film)," she said. Check out the video below!

‘Mrs. and Mr.' movie: Ilaiyaraaja's name removed from all promotional materials, Vanitha Film Productions tells Madras High Court
Music composer R. llaiyaraaja's name has been removed from all promotional materials related to the movie 'Mrs. and Mr.,' Vanitha Film Productions told the Madras High Court on Wednesday (July 23, 2025), pursuant to a civil suit filed by him to restrain the production house from exploiting his personality rights for the promotion of the movie. Justice Senthilkumar Ramamoorthy recorded the submission made by Sridhar Moorthy, counsel for the producer, that the composer's name had been removed fom the materials posted on Instagram as well as other platforms. Earlier, Mr. Ilaiyaraaja's counsel A. Saravanan said that use of his client's name amounted to misrepresentation. It was brought to the notice of the court that Mr. Ilaiyaraaja was not the music composer of 'Mrs. and Mr.' However, the producers had used one of the songs composed by him for another movie and printed his name in the promotional materials thereby giving an impression as if he was their music composer, the counsel said. In his civil suit, Mr. Ilaiyaraaja had also sought a direction to Vanitha Film Productions to remove forthwith the song titled 'Sivarathri,' which he had composed for the 1990 Kamal Haasan-starrer Michael Madana Kama Rajan, from the movie Mrs. and Mr., which was released on July 11, 2025. Further, he had also sought a permanent injunction restraining the production firm from exploiting his personality rights for the promotion of the movie and sought a direction to the production house to disclose the profits and gains derived from the exploitation of such rights. Along with the suit, the composer had filed two applications seeking interim relief. One of the applications was for an interim direction to remove the song 'Sivarathri' from Mrs. and Mr. and another for an interim direction to not sell, distribute, screen, exhibit, or broadcast the movie with the song. After filing a counter affidavit to the applications seeking interim relief, Mr. Moorthy told the court that Mr. Ilaiyaraaja had wrongly mentioned Ms. Vanitha Vijayakumar as the producer of the movie though the promotional materials clearly mention Jovika Vijayakumar to be the producer. Therefore, he said, the composer would have to file an application to amend the causetitle. He also stated that Sony Music Entertainment would also have to be included as one of the defendants to the suit since that music company had been assigned the rights of the song 'Sivarathiri.' Taking note of his submissions, the judge granted time till August 18 for the composer to file necessary applications for amending the causetitle and including a new defendant.

As Boney Kapoor reportedly loses 26 kilos following a juice diet, let's recall what late wife Sridevi once told him: ‘You were slim, trim, tall and good-looking…'
Following the incredible weight loss transformations of Karan Johar and Ram Kapoor, filmmaker Boney Kapoor's latest pictures have captivated the internet. While he appears to have visibly lost a significant amount of weight, unconfirmed reports suggest that he has shed 26 kilos following a juice and jowar roti diet. 'He skips dinner and has only soup. Not just that, his breakfast consists of only fruit & juice and jawar roti. He has also not hit the gym to get in this shape,' paparazzo Viral Bhayani wrote on Instagram, even as netizens hinted at the usage of weight loss drug Ozempic or Mounjaro as the reason behind the sudden transformation. Amidst this, an older interview of him, in which he recalls how his late wife, Sridevi, had wanted him to lose weight for health reasons, has also gone viral. In an interview with ABPLive in 2024, he said, 'The inspiration behind it was my wife because Sridevi was constantly behind me. She used to say, 'When I met you, you were slim, trim, tall, and good-looking…and now you just….see…after I got you…what more can I ask for?' For health reasons, she wanted me to lose weight…I made an attempt a couple of times by going with her to the gym, taking a walk in the evening, and all that, but they were short-lived. Maybe for 10-12 days I did what she wanted me to, but after that I had various issues…' Taking a cue from this, let's explore how inspiration can always be helpful. Encouraging the partner to adopt healthier habits is essential, said Dr Manjusha Agarwal, senior consultant, internal medicine, Gleneagles Hospital, Parel, Mumbai. According to Dr Agarwal, people are more likely to make lasting changes when they feel supported, rather than judged, ridiculed, or shamed. Comparisons or ultimatums can damage self-esteem and take a toll on mental well-being. It is essential to be patient when making lifestyle-related behaviour changes. 'If your partner senses genuine care and sees you modeling a healthy lifestyle or even as a tribute to a late spouse, they're more likely to feel inspired to take steps toward their well-being,' said Dr Agarwal. Here are some of the easiest ways to stay healthy and consistent *Go for healthy food options such as salads or grilled, baked, or steamed dishes. *Keep yourself physically active. *Choose whole grains like brown rice or quinoa over refined options. *Celebrate small wins.
