Why Did Kiran Dubey Disappear From TV After Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi? Actor Reveals
Actor Kiran Dubey spoke about her long break from TV after starring in key roles in Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi and Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii.
Veteran actress Kiran Dubey opened up about her absence from television after her roles in the iconic shows like 'Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi" and 'Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii."
Sharing her journey, she reflected on the reasons behind stepping away from the spotlight and how the decision shaped her personal and professional life. In an exclusive interview with IANS, Kiran revealed that she wanted to take some time to explore herself and to understand herself better. When asked about her sudden disappearance from the industry despite being part of iconic shows, the actress stated, 'Yes, I've done many shows, including some of the top ones. But I've always felt that my life should be a priority. I wanted to take some time to explore myself—my life and my spirituality—and to understand myself better. After working nonstop for nearly a decade, I felt it was necessary to step back for a while."
Kiran Dubey also shared what inspired her to make a comeback after so many years. '5th September is a very special film. It's actually the first Bollywood film made entirely in Uttarakhand. While many films have been shot there, this one is written, directed, and produced by Kunal Malla, a native of Uttarakhand and an educationist. It was a blessing to work with such a talented cast—Sanjay Mishra ji, Brijendra Kala ji, Kavin Dave, Deepraj Rana, Sarika Singh, and Kunal himself. New talents like Malleha Malla and Rishabh are also part of the film."
'I play the school therapist, a character with multiple shades, which makes it a very beautiful and important role. Though the screen time is limited, the depth of the character is truly meaningful. This is my first Hindi film, and it's one of the reasons I've returned to Mumbai," revealed Kiran Dubey.

Michelle Yeoh Hints BLACKPINK's Lisa, Frédéric Arnault Are Dating: 'Hope To Meet You Soon'
Last Updated: Michelle Yeoh's lighthearted yet revealing mention has now given fans one of the biggest clues so far. Dating rumors between BLACKPINK's Lisa and LVMH heir Frédéric Arnault have been swirling for quite some time now. From being spotted at events together to vacationing with each other's families, the pair has ignited speculation worldwide. But while the two have maintained silence about their relationship status, a recent Instagram post by Oscar-winning actress Michelle Yeoh may have just given fans the biggest hint yet. In a carousel shared on her Instagram, Michelle Yeoh recounted her time in Paris while attending an event where Italian businessman Diego Della Valle was honored with the Chevalier de l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres. Among the photos, one particular image caught fans' attention—Yeoh posing with Frédéric Arnault, CEO of Tag Heuer and son of LVMH chairman Bernard Arnault. While the picture itself was casual, it was Yeoh's caption that fueled dating speculation once again. After congratulating her friend Frédéric on the recognition, she wrote, 'hope to meet u soon Lisa." The casual name-drop has left fans convinced that the couple is very much together—and that Frédéric was likely talking about Lisa even though she wasn't at the event. This subtle yet telling message from Yeoh, who is known to be close with many high-profile personalities, suggests that Lisa holds a special place in Frédéric's life. The caption hints at conversations between Yeoh and Frédéric involving the BLACKPINK member, and fans believe it's a strong sign of the relationship being acknowledged within their close circle. Lisa and Frédéric were first linked in 2022 when he was spotted backstage at BLACKPINK's BORN PINK tour. Since then, they've been photographed on multiple occasions, including attending events, dining together, and traveling with family. However, both have remained tight-lipped about their rumored romance. First Published: July 29, 2025, 02:02 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Saiyaara Box Office Day 11: Ahaan Panday-Aneet Padda Film Crosses Rs 250 Cr Mark In India
Last Updated: Saiyaara collected Rs 9.50 crore on second Monday, crossing Rs 250 crore in India and Rs 300 crore globally. Netflix release expected around Diwali. Mohit Suri's Saiyaara continues to impress at the box office, defying expectations with each passing day. The romantic musical drama starring debutants Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda minted Rs 9.50 crore on its second Monday, as per early estimates by Sacnilk. While this reflects a drop from the weekend numbers, the film is still holding strong, especially considering it has no big stars backing it. With this, Saiyaara has officially crossed Rs 250 crore net in India and over Rs 300 crore worldwide—making it one of the biggest sleeper hits of 2025. The film is now eyeing the Rs 275 crore mark domestically by the end of its second week. Directed by Mohit Suri and produced by Yash Raj Films, Saiyaara has been lauded for its emotional storytelling, fresh casting, and soul-stirring soundtrack. It marks Ahaan Panday's acting debut and has also given a massive career boost to actress Aneet Padda. The film also stars Rajesh Kumar, Varun Badola, Alam Khan, Sid Makkar, and Shaan Groverr in supporting roles. According to a report by The Times of India, the makers have closed a deal with Netflix for the OTT release of Saiyaara. However, given its continued box office success, the film's digital debut has now been pushed closer to Diwali. This move is expected to give the film an extended shelf life and cater to festive viewers at home. Released on July 18, 2025, Saiyaara is loosely inspired by the 2004 Korean romantic drama A Moment to Remember. The film follows Krish Kapoor, a disillusioned musician who crosses paths with the introspective poet Vaani Batra. Together, they navigate love, loss, and healing in a story that has struck an emotional chord with audiences. From strong word-of-mouth to chart-topping songs, Saiyaara has become a shining example of how content-driven cinema can still draw crowds in a star-driven industry.

‘Raj Kapoor was reduced to dust as he made ‘Mera Naam Joker', says Mahesh Bhatt: ‘The certainty of failure'
Veteran filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt , known for delivering some of Hindi cinema's most memorable films like 'Arth', 'Aashiqui' among many more, is also known for his deep, philosophical views. This side of him is evident every time he speaks and also the depth in his movies. In a recent interview, he shared his perspective on the unpredictable nature of the film industry . With over five decades of experience behind him, Bhatt believes that failure is far more certain than success in showbiz. Bhatt used the example of legendary filmmaker Raj Kapoor to drive home his point. He recalled how Kapoor went bankrupt after producing Mera Naam Joker in 1970 — a film that is now considered iconic, but had flopped at the box office upon release. Speaking on The Himanshu Mehta Show, he said, 'Raj Kapoor was reduced to dust when he made Mera Naam Joker, but the same Raj Kapoor when he made Bobby, the whole nation came to make him successful because they in a way felt guilty for seeing such a great filmmaker spiral into economic debt,' Bhatt said. 'Those were very trying times for him, and that is the same time I joined films. I have seen him in those vulnerable times. Failure is very difficult to take in our business. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Don't Pay For New Gutters.

'I was talking to Yash Chopra about what we need to talk to a junior about — the certainty of failure. If you want to be in this business, you have to be certain that you will fail more often than succeed. Success is a fluke, failure is guaranteed, and yet you have to keep on going.' Earlier veteran actor Raza Murad had also spoken about how Raj Kapoor faced debts post 'Mera Naam Joker'. In an earlier interview with Filmy Charcha, Murad said, 'After Mera Naam Joker, he was in tremendous debt. Things got so bad that distributors refused to buy Bobby without seeing it first. These were the same people who were once desperate to secure the rights to his movies. But after Mera Naam Joker, everything changed. He refused to show them the movie, but he agreed to show them the songs. '
