Vaani Kapoor says it was ‘hectic and heavy on social media' after Abir Gulaal controversy: ‘Hope one can calm down on hate'
Actor Vaani Kapoor on Tuesday said social media has increasingly become a space filled with negativity and urged people to check the amount of hate they put out into the world. Vaani's comments come months after she faced criticism for sharing screen space with Pakistani actor Fawad Khan in the movie Abir Gulaal. The romantic film, which was set to arrive in cinema halls on May 9, was not allowed to release in India in the aftermath of the Pahalgam terror attack in April. 'Last couple of months, years, everything became hectic and heavy on social media. So, I hope one can calm down on hate, create room for love and kindness, I know it doesn't sound very interesting. But what you give will come back to you. If you hate or troll somebody, it will someday get back at you, and it's going to sting you worse,' Vaani said at the trailer launch of debut OTT show, Mandala Murders. 'So, just be nice, kind, and try to be just as humans. I'm wishing we could be in a happier space, and be kinder to each other and ourselves,' she added. Vaani didn't allude directly to the controversy, but said the above in respect to a question from the media on a vardaan (blessing) she'd like to choose for herself. She also echoed co-star Surveen Chawla's wish that their show is a success. Mandala Murders is a mythological-crime thriller series that delves into ancient secrets, eerie symbols, and a trail of ritualistic killings. It is created and directed by Gopi Puthran, known for his work on the Mardaani franchise. Manan Rawat serves as the co-director. Vaibhav Raj Gupta, Surveen Chawla, Shriya Pilgaokar, and Raghubir Yadav round out the cast of the show. Vaani, who also made her debut with Aditya Chopra's Yash Raj Films back in 2013 with Manish Sharma's romantic comedy Shuddh Desi Romance, has since appeared in several YRF projects like Chopra's 2016 rom-com Befikre, Siddharth Anand's 2019 spy thriller War, and Karan Malhotra's 2022 action thriller Shamshera. But Mandala Murders marks not only her first show with YRF, but also her debut in long format in general. 'There was a lot of room and space for discovery, which was very exciting. When Gopi sir and Manan sir narrated the script to me, they asked me to collaborate. They wanted me to contribute to the story and bring something authentic to the table,' Vaani said about her debut show.

Salman Khan's biggest flop, took 20 years in making, was made for Rs 60 crore, lead actress' career got ruined, her name is.., movie is...
Salman Khan is the top star of the film industry. He has a huge fan following, and his luck has been very good at the box office. However, his filmography also includes some mega flops. There was one film of Bhaijaan, which is called the biggest flop. This film ruined a lot of things. This film also shattered the dreams of an actress who was going to start her career. It was thought that if the film were with Salman, it would be a blockbuster, but everything happened the opposite. Despite being launched with Salman Khan, she had to face failure. Earlier, she was also mistaken for Katrina Kaif's body double. Which is Salman Khan's biggest flop? We are talking about Zareen Khan, and the name of the film is Veer. This film was released in 2010 and was one of the biggest flops. Zareen debuted in Yuvraj, which starred Katrina Kaif, Anil Kapoor, Salman Khan, and Zayed Khan. However, Veer was her first lead role film. Zareen Khan has also worked in Punjabi, Telugu, and Tamil films. Why Salman Khan's Veer was a disaster at the Box Office Veer was Salman Khan's dream project, but it was not successful. The film was made on a budget of Rs 63 crore. However, it earned only Rs 46 crore. It was a big disaster, and the makers suffered huge losses. The songs of the film became popular, but the story was disappointing. According to IMDB, Salman had written the script of the film 20 years before it was made. However, the film could not even recover its production cost. After the big failure, Zareen's acting career also never saw any rise again. She did Housefull 2, Wajah Tum Ho, and other films, but none of them did well.
