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

The Traitors: Anshula Kapoor Reveals She Was Diagnosed With PTSD After 'Traumatising' Show
Last Updated: Anshula Kapoor has raised concerns about the mental repercussions of participating in Karan Johar's show. Entrepreneur Anshula Kapoor has become a fan favourite on the reality OTT show, The Traitors. Hosted by Karan Johar, The Traitors is an Indian adaptation of the globally acclaimed series of the same name. The series features 20 celebrity contestants, including Anshula, who participated in the show for a grand prize. However, the deception and anxiety-inducing environment of the show have caused Anshula to develop mental health issues. Anshula Kapoor told The Quint, 'Living without communication with the outside world for the entire duration of the show was extremely difficult." She described the show as 'stressful" and 'traumatising". Anshula mentioned that she said yes to the show as she was told it 'would be akin to the original format, but that's not what it ended up being". She added, 'It was not about filming long hours, but about the conversations and atmosphere of the house… There were no intercoms in our room. They had blacked out our room numbers, so we didn't know our own or anyone else's room number. They had placed wind chimes outside our room door, and if you opened the door when you weren't supposed to, someone would come and tell you not to leave your room." Anushula revealed she developed major anxiety on the show. She said, 'I had to go back into intensive therapy after the show, and I was diagnosed with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder." She claimed she did not have PTSD before participating in the show. Anshula mentioned that she isn't the only contestant who is dealing with mental trauma after the show. Previously, Anshula took to her Instagram to reveal how the production managed to keep secrets during filming. She said, 'There was so much secrecy. We weren't told who our fellow participants would be. When we were flying from Bombay also to shoot for this, I think Elnaz, Ashish ji, Sufi, and Jannat were on my flight. To keep it as secret as possible, even during the check-in process at the airport, we were given different slots. We were given a 'shadow'—our own personal valet." She further added that the makers ad even divided the 20 participants into two different hotels when they were first staying in. Two days before the filming, they were all sent from Jodhpur to Jaisalmer. 'And this hotel—while we were getting checked in—they literally were like, 'Okay, you'll have your phone for like three hours more, and then tonight somebody's going to come.' Not just phones, all the electronic equipment—they were taking it all. But it was all about isolation, because they didn't want us to form alliances outside the show," she said. Anshula further said that while each episode of The Traitors is only about an hour long, the contestants were shooting for 16 to 18 hours a day. The Traitors made its grand debut on Prime Video on June 12 at 8 PM. The show released the first three episodes on launch day, and new episodes continued to drop every Thursday at 8 PM. The finale of the show will premiere on July 3. Meanwhile, season 2 of the show has already been confirmed. First Published:

Sonakshi Sinha Pregnant? Actress Finally Breaks Silence, Says, 'I Have Found a Way…'
Last Updated: Sonakshi Sinha reacts to wedding with Zaheer Iqbal, family approval, and pregnancy rumours. Sonakshi Sinha's personal life has often been under the media microscope — from whispers about her relationship with Zaheer Iqbal to public curiosity around her inter-faith wedding and now pregnancy rumours. The Heeramandi star, who tied the knot with longtime boyfriend Zaheer in a quiet civil ceremony last year, recently celebrated their first wedding anniversary on June 23, 2025. The couple, who appeared together in Double XL (2022), kept their relationship under wraps for several years before making it official. But even after going public, the scrutiny didn't stop. Their interfaith relationship, with Sonakshi being Hindu and Zaheer Muslim, sparked even more curiosity. Many even questioned, 'Is Sonakshi Sinha pregnant?" as she quietly got married without much fanfare. Sonakshi, however, has chosen calm over chaos. In a recent interview, she reacted to the relentless noise surrounding her private life. 'I have found a way of shutting out the noise," she said. 'I live a very happy life off screen when I am not at work, and I am okay and peaceful, so when I am at work and I have to deal with such things, I just end up dealing with it better," the actress added. The actress, who dated Zaheer Iqbal for seven years before they got married, shared how time and experience have helped her build emotional resilience. 'You realise that people will say what they want to say, no matter what you do. If I say I am wearing white, someone will say no, it's black. Someone will always be there to challenge what you say, so you just move on with your life. You cannot pay attention to every little thing." Sonakshi Sinha and Zaheer Iqbal Marriage Sonakshi Sinha and Zaheer Iqbal got married in a quiet civil ceremony at her Bandra home on June 23, 2024.
