Kapil Sharma reveals why Aamir Khan rejected his invite to The Great Indian Kapil Show for Sitaare Zameen Par
Why Aamir Khan turned down Kapil Sharma's invite
During the conversation, Kapil joked about how Saurabh sits with a pile of papers in his hand to interview a celebrity and said, 'You did an episode with Aamir Khan that was five and a half hours long. I have yet to watch it. I'll watch it during my summer vacation. Inhone interview nahi liya, inhone nichod diya unko pura (he didn't take an interview, he wrung him dry). Aapko nahi laga kurta aur chappal hi bachi thi, vo bhi le lete hain? (Don't you think only his kurta and slippers were left? You could have taken that too)."
Saurabh then explained how Aamir is an interesting personality who has a lot of things to share, just like any other person who has struggled in life and worked across different fields. Kapil then joked about how Aamir turned down his offer to promote Sitaare Zameen Par on The Great Indian Kapil Show and said, 'I called Aamir Bhai to invite him here for Sitaare Zameen Par. He said, 'Nahi, maine saara hi unko de aaya hu, unse le liya karo aage se (No, I've given everything to them—take it from them from now on).''
While Aamir didn't come to The Great Indian Kapil Show to promote his film, the superstar had invited Kapil and his team—Krushna Abhishek and Kiku Sharda—to his house for a friendly meet with the cast of Sitaare Zameen Par. Ranbir Kapoor also joined them, and all of them were seen jamming to songs.

Exclusive! Genelia Deshmukh on the role of South cinema in shaping her career and her thoughts on love stories
Genelia Deshmukh After over a decade of consciously stepping back from the spotlight following the 2012 release of Tere Naal Love Ho Gaya to focus on family life, Genelia Deshmukh is embracing a new chapter — one shaped by motherhood, maturity, and a rekindled love for cinema. In a conversation with BT, the actress, who was recently seen in Sitaare Zameen Par, opens up about evolving with time, the role of South cinema in shaping her career, and why mature roles need more screen time. 'Riteish and I continue to do things that we always enjoyed doing together' Genelia, who has been married to Riteish Deshmukh for 13 years, says marriage evolves with time. She shares, 'A lot changes post marriage. People forget that you're going to change at 30, 40 and 50. You're not going to be 20 all your life, and I think that's the issue in most relationships. You expect the person to stay the way they were at 16. Riteish and I know we aren't in our 20s, but we continue to do things that we always enjoyed doing together. We liked going out for dinners a lot, but with children around, it gets tough. So, once a week, we go to a coffee shop, hold hands and talk. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like She Was The Dream Girl In The 1980s, Here She Is Now. Boite A Scoop Undo That's our idea of romance.' 'Earlier, the perception was that Bollywood dropouts make it big in the South' Today, pan-India films are seeing actors from Bollywood being cast alongside South actors. Genelia, who made her film debut in 2003 with Tujhe Meri Kasam, did South films from the early days of her career. About the current pan-India trend, she says, 'I don't know why it took so long. I did it very early in my career, and I did it with pride. I just wanted to do good films; it was never about pitching one above the other. Earlier, the perception was that Bollywood dropouts make it big in the South. I've done some of my best work there. I thought my first film would be my last, and then I would take up a 9-5 job. But then I got a lot of work in the South and started falling in love with acting because of South cinema.' Talking about her break from movies, she says, 'During the last 10 years, I did special appearances whenever my friends asked me to. I also did Trial Period, which was an OTT project and Mister Mummy. I am happy that a film like Sitaare Zameen Par came my way.' 'I'm a different person now, but I still have that madness in me' Genelia admits that this phase of her career feels different from her early years in the industry. 'I'm a different person now, but I still have that madness in me. I'll always want to keep the child in me alive. At the start of your career, you have to make sure you do things that really work. Now, I want to do a horror film. I want to do action. It all depends on what filmmakers are writing and what you are being offered,' she says. ' Love stories aren't just for the young' The actress is hopeful the industry keeps pace with changing narratives and embraces more mature female characters. She says, 'I wish we would write more stories about women who are in their 30s, 40s or 50s. There are so many dynamics to that, which is interesting. Love stories aren't just for the young. Why isn't there a love story of a 30-year-old girl or a single mother? Love doesn't happen only when you are in college. I don't think I could play a good mom on screen if I weren't a mom in real life. I think you bring nuances to the screen when you actually live it. Which is why I say that actors should be cast as per the demand of the role and not because of their Instagram following or because they are number one, two or three.'

Sonali Bendre: Marriage requires daily effort, should never be taken for granted
Actress Sonali Bendre has shared her mantra to a successful marriage. She said that both partners need to work on their relationship as it requires daily effort and should never be taken for granted. Asked Sonali, who has been happily married for over two decades to filmmaker Goldie Behl, about the advice she would like to give young couples, Sonali told IANS: 'I don't think anyone can really advise youngsters, and those who try usually fail. They believe they know everything. They have Google, ChatGPT—every answer is at their fingertips.' Decoding the key to a perfect marriage, she said: 'Marriage, according to me, is something that requires daily effort. It should never be taken for granted. Both partners need to work on it. Mutual respect is essential.' For Sonali, marriage is a partnership of equality. 'Not that we have to be equal in everything, but our strengths should complement each other. I have my strong points, and my husband has his. We divide responsibilities accordingly. Marriage is about supporting each other and, ultimately, about growing old together. Over the years, you realize that sometimes you sacrifice more, sometimes your partner does.' She added: 'Life has ups and downs. Equality is not in the day-to-day tasks but in the long run, with respect and care at the core. The internet has played a major role in the world and relationships, and Sonali agrees strongly. 'The change is huge! In our time, a generation would change every 20–25 years. Now it feels like it changes every three years. Everything has turned upside down. The internet has transformed how people live and connect.' Sonali will be seen as a host on the show 'Pati, Patni Aur Panga', which is all set to air on Colors. She will be joined by comedian Munawar Faruqui as a co-host.
