Sunny Deol's grand entourage includes cooks, badminton court and gym, says co-star Puneet Issar: ‘Voh raja aadmi hai'
In a conversation with Siddharth Kannan, Puneet opened up about Sunny's regal lifestyle while shooting on location. He said, "Sunny raja aadmi hai. Woh jahan jaata hai raja ki tarah jata hai. Uska pura entourage chalta hai. Uske cooks bhi aayenge, badminton ka court bhi hoga, pura gym jayega (Sunny is a royal kind of man. Wherever he goes, he goes like a king. His entire entourage travels with him. His cooks will come along, there will be a badminton court, a full gym setup). So a whole truck would go, so he will ask you that I am travelling with all of this weight, if there is anything that you also want to carry so he can load it up as well and then a gym is set up."
Issar was quick to clarify that despite the grandeur, Sunny never passed the bill onto the producer. "He is like a king, an emperor. That's what Sunny is. I don't think Sunny used to put the bill on the producer. That's why I say voh raja aadmi hain (he is a royal person), all on him. Even Salman is like that. Why not? It's a requirement for them. Every star had a lot of people around them, be it."
Puneet Issar rose to fame with his portrayal of Duryodhana in B.R. Chopra's iconic TV series Mahabharat. He also starred in major films like Coolie, Ram Jaane, and Border. In Border, he played Subedar Ratan Singh alongside Sunny Deol, Suniel Shetty, Jackie Shroff, and Akshaye Khanna. The film was a blockbuster, and its sequel is currently in development with Sunny returning in the lead, joined by Varun Dhawan, Ahan Shetty, and Diljit Dosanjh. Sunny Deol's upcoming films

Kamal Haasan confesses that ‘greed for money' stopped him from learning. Actor says could have ‘learned more'
Kamal Haasan , known for his unmatched versatility in Indian cinema , has worn many hats over his 65-year-long career—actor, writer, director, producer, choreographer, and even a trained makeup artist. But now, in a strikingly honest revelation, the iconic performer says there's something he stopped doing somewhere along the way: learning. In an interview with PTI, Haasan admitted that his avarice—his own word—for money got in the way of his thirst for knowledge. 'I like money. I want it to come to me,' he told PTI, explaining why he no longer sought out new mentors or teachers. 'Because of my work schedule, I stopped seeking more gurus. I think my avarice for money stopped me from learning. Otherwise, I would have learned more.' The 69-year-old legend reflected candidly on how fame and fortune can gradually distance artists from genuine growth. He explained that while cinema allows one to reach a vast audience, it also removes the artist from the direct experience of appreciation or critique. Over time, this disconnect can lead to arrogance, as feedback is filtered through media reports or fan interactions rather than real-time applause or honest criticism. The result, he suggested, is a skewed perception of success and a growing detachment from reality.

How chanting a powerful mantra helped Ravi Dubey deal with chaos and find solace in Nichiren Buddhism
Renowned television actor Ravi Dubey is a proud practitioner of Nichiren Buddhism. He is one of the most popular faces of Indian television, who will be seen in the mega-budget film Ramayana and has a charming personality that is loved by many. He has starred in commercially hit movies and TV shows and has established himself as a versatile actor. However, it wasn't always the case. Born into an affluent Hindu family, Ravi, who was initially pursuing engineering, reportedly lost all hope after failing his exams. Frustrated with the rat race, he started following Nichiren Buddhism, a Japanese Buddhist tradition, which provided him with much-needed 'understanding of the chaos that was going on.' Buddhism saved Ravi actor Dubey from losing himself Buddhism is made up of different sects and subsects, and different traditions are practiced in different countries. Nichiren Buddhism, which comes from Japan, focuses on the Lotus sutra. It doesn't discriminate and believes that anyone can achieve enlightenment. It focuses on empowering an individual and asks them to look within to attain enlightenment. Finding Buddhism became a defining moment in Ravi's life. Its teachings helped him to calm his mind, take a leap of faith, and inspired him not to lose hope even when faced with adversities. During a chat with Telly Chakkar, Ravi Dubey stated, "I started following it when I was going through a very rough patch in my life and I wanted some understanding of the chaos that was going on in one's life. I wanted to align myself and feel better about myself. So, when things went out of control, I started chanting at that time." He practices chanting 'Nam Myoho Renge Kyo,' the primary mantra of Nichiren Buddhism. Ravi reveals that Buddhism taught him to believe in the power of manifestation and cosmic power. Buddhist philosophy has changed his perspective for the better and he cherishes his life and those around him.
