Kher shared his inspiration behind Actor Prepares School and what motivated him to start it, "What can I say, Mr. Bhatt? He spoke my emotions with more clarity. I just want to say that 20 years ago, I was shooting a film, and a very beautiful girl was working there. And her job was to come out of the swimming pool, my sister was there, and she had to come to me and say a dialogue. So, till she came out of the swimming pool and came here, everything was very correct.

Bhumi Pednekar: I honestly think you should do whatever gives you happiness

Bhumi Pednekar Bhumi Pednekar is refreshingly candid about embracing alternate technologies to enhance her appearance. Recently, she attended the launch of a new non-invasive body contouring machine designed to target stubborn fat. 'I think every science-backed invention is absolutely great for humanity' 'I think every science-backed invention is absolutely great for humanity,' she says. 'I've been using both these technologies (thermal hot and cold treatments and EMS - Electrical Muscle Stimulation) separately. We all work out a lot, but there are days when you want that extra muscle definition—these technologies have helped me a lot. I've been EMS training for years. It's a form of workout I really enjoy, and now there's a machine that gives you that,' she told us at the launch of Artiqa at Kaya Clinic in Mumbai. 'You should do whatever gives you happiness' While some actors shy away from acknowledging their use of such methods, Bhumi believes it's a personal choice. 'I honestly think you should do whatever gives you happiness. If you're someone who believes in not experimenting and are happy in your current state of mind, then I don't think we should dictate how someone should or shouldn't change. That's the whole idea—loving yourself, having peace of mind, and body positivity. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Outdoor Clothing | Designed to Perform.

'I think my confidence comes from my resilience' Reflecting on how her own body confidence has evolved over the years, Bhumi is open about the ups and downs. 'I think my confidence comes from my resilience. It comes from the life that I have had. And there are many days when I'm extremely underconfident. At the end of the day, we're all human—and I think that's okay. I don't want to be a role model who tells younger girls that I don't have tough days. I have very tough days, but over the years I've become resilient enough to overcome them. I'm very proud of myself. It has taken a lot of effort to have abs. To have them refined on screen—I've worked so hard, and I'm very proud of myself.' The Dum Laga Ke Haisha actress feels that there's no pressure in the industry too look a certain way. Instead, she believes the film industry is becoming more inclusive and appreciative of natural beauty and unique talent. 'If there's space for us, there will be space for the newer talent as well' 'There are so many people like me, Ayushmann Khurrana, Rajkummar Rao—we've been here for a decade. We're complete outsiders who don't really fit the norm or the box or the expectations of what leading actors should be like. We proudly wear that as a badge—something we earned. We've had flourishing careers, and I think we're going to have multiple decades ahead. And I feel if there's space for us, there will be space for the newer talent to come in as well. '

Saiyaara leaps to 62nd spot in all-time biggest Hindi hits, outpaces Shah Rukh Khan's Dilwale, Salman Khan's Bodyguard and Prabhas's Salaar:Part 1- Ceasefire

Mohit Suri's directorial venture, Saiyaara, starring newcomers Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, has become a box office sensation. The romantic drama has swiftly climbed to 62nd position among Hindi cinema's biggest hits, amassing Rs 153.25 crore in just six days. Saiyaara has surpassed major films like Dilwale, Bodyguard, and Salaar, driven by strong word-of-mouth and consistent weekday collections. In a stunning box office run, Saiyaara, directed by Mohit Suri and featuring newcomers Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda , has surged from the 84th to the 62nd position on the list of the biggest Hindi hits of Indian cinema within just 24 hours. With its 6-day total now standing at an impressive Rs 153.25 crore, the romantic drama has officially leapfrogged major Bollywood hits including Shah Rukh Khan 's Dilwale (Rs 148.42 Cr), Salman Khan 's Bodyguard (Rs 148.52 Cr), and even the high-profile Salaar: Cease Fire – Part 1 (Rs 152.65 Cr). This unexpected climb reflects not just a growing word-of-mouth wave, but also the sharp rise in weekday collections that signal strong audience retention. After a thunderous Rs 21.5 crore opening on Friday, the film jumped to Rs 26 crore on Saturday, followed by a stellar Rs 35.75 crore on Sunday. While Monday usually sees a drop, Saiyaara held well with Rs 24 crore, and then bounced back on Tuesday to Rs 25 crore, showing a rare 4.17% jump mid-week. Wednesday's early estimate of Rs 21 crore sealed its entry into the Rs 150 crore club, and more crucially, into the elite list of top 65 Hindi films of all time. What's remarkable is how Saiyaara has managed to outperform films backed by massive star power and colossal budgets. While Dilwale (featuring SRK and Kajol) and Bodyguard (starring Salman Khan and Kareena Kapoor ) came with pre-installed fanbases, Saiyaara has largely relied on emotional storytelling, soulful music, and fresh faces. Even Salaar, headlined by pan-India star Prabhas and made on a over Rs 200 crore budget, has now been overtaken in the Hindi domestic made more than Rs 400 crore across Hindi , Telugu and other languages. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Indonesia: New Container Houses (Prices May Surprise You) Container House | Search ads Search Now Undo With one more weekday and a second weekend ahead, many now believe Saiyaara could enter the top 50 club, possibly overtaking films like Sitaare Zameen Par, Raid 2 and Bajirao Mastani to break into the Top 50. For Mohit Suri, this marks a career-high resurgence after a hiatus, and for Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, it sets a dreamlike debut benchmark. The industry is taking note — not just of the numbers — but of the shift in audience preferences, where performance and content can now triumph over brand value and spectacle. As of now, Saiyaara stands tall at No. 62 — but it's clear this journey is far from over.
