Tusshar Kapoor reveals using Ouija Board to contact ghost spirits ‘for fun': 'I'm inquisitive only till a point where…'
At the press conference of Kapkapiii, which was attended by Tusshar Kapoor, Sonia Rathee and Siddhi Idnani, the actor humourously said that using Ouija Board or other activities to call the otherworldly spirits should only be "limited" to movies.
When asked by ANI if he ever had a chance to interact with the people who tried Ouija Board or other such activities, as the movie is said to be "based on true events". To this, the actor responded, 'These are not my true events. People have done these things about which I don't know much. I did it in my childhood for fun, but I didn't try to extensively pursue it neither, want to do in future. It would be better if it is limited to films.'
The actor further believes that people should not "disturb" the other world if they don't have complete knowledge about it. "And why disturb the other world or the unknown about which we don't have much knowledge except those people who have an understanding of that world. They should also do it with safety. I am inquisitive and curious only till a point where people can watch horror film and get entertained with such stories," added Tusshar.
The actor further said that he is unwilling to experiment or try activities similar to the Ouija Board in future. "But, trying to experiment (Ouija Board) with it, is something I won't do. I would say that we should be in peace and let them also be rest in peace," concluded Tusshar.
The film is directed by the late filmmaker Sangeeth Sivan, who is known for his works like Kya Kool Hain Hum and Apna Sapna Money Money. The movie also stars Shreyas Talpade in the lead role.

'I dedicate it to all the incredible mothers of this world,' says Rani Mukerji on winning her first National Award in 30 years for Mrs. Chatterjee vs Norway
New Delhi [India], August 1 (ANI): Rani Mukerji, who bagged her first-ever National Film Award nearly 30 years after entering the film industry, says she feels "overwhelmed" to have received the honour. The award, for Best Actress, was announced for her powerful role in 'Mrs. Chatterjee vs Norway,' where she played a mother fighting to bring her children back home. Her first National Award feels like a full-circle moment, one that her fans and the film industry will remember for a long time. Calling it a big moment in her long journey in cinema, the 'Mardaani' actress shared her feelings in her statement, where she reflected on the "incredible films" she has done and thanked the jury for recognizing her work. Rani also shared the joy of the win with the team behind the film, calling it a "truly special project." "I'm overwhelmed to have won the National Award for my performance in Mrs. Chatterjee vs Norway. Incidentally, this is the first-ever National Award in my 30-year career. As an actor, I have been fortunate to have some incredible films in my body of work and have received so much love for them. I thank the National Award jury for honoring my work in Mrs. Chatterjee vs Norway. I share this moment with the entire team of the film--my producers Nikkhil Advani, Monisha, and Madhu, my director Ashima Chibber, and everyone who worked on this truly special project that celebrated the resilience of motherhood," she said. Rani also added that for her, this award means more than just recognition for a single film and shared that the honor is very "emotional and personal" for her, as the film's message is close to her heart. "I dedicate my National Award to all the incredible mothers of this world. There is nothing like a mother's love and her ferocity to protect her own. The story of this Indian immigrant mother, who went all out for her child and took on a nation, shook me deeply... a mother's love for her child is unconditional," she said. "I realised this when I had my own. So, this win, this film, feels deeply emotional and personal. A mother can move mountains for her children and also make the world a better place. This film tried to show this," Rani added. Rani's role in 'Mrs. Chatterjee vs Norway' is based on the real-life case of Sagarika Chakraborty, whose children were taken by the Norwegian government in 2011. Rani plays Debika, the mother who fights the foreign legal system to bring her kids back. Since her debut in 'Raja Ki Aayegi Baraat' in 1996, Rani has built a strong career. From winning hearts with 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai' in 1998 to playing bold and fearless women in many films, she has always chosen roles that show strength and emotion. (ANI)
