Pati Patni Aur Panga: Rocky Jaiswal Recalls Hina Khan's Cancer Battle, Says, ‘If I Could Take Her Pain…'
Rocky Jaiswal opens up on Pati Patni Aur Panga about Hina Khan's emotional cancer journey, calling it the toughest phase and praising her courage and strength.
'Pati Patni Aur Panga – Jodiyon Ka Reality Check' has already set the internet buzzing with its star-studded lineup, promising the audience a front-row seat into the lives of celebrity couples we've all loved and rooted for, as they take on fun challenges, navigate unpredictable tasks, and compete against the other jodis. Among these seven jodis is Hina Khan and Rocky Jaiswal, a couple who have battled odds and captured hearts with a wedding that left the nation swooning.
In the grand premiere of Colors' Pati Patni Aur Panga, the couple opened up about the pages of their incredible love story. And believe it or not, it began in pure enemies-to-lovers style.
When Hina Khan first met Rocky Jaiswal on the sets of her debut show, love was the last thing on her mind. Focused on her career, she never imagined that the two of them would become so close. But over time, their interactions grew—what started as simple conversations turned into a deep friendship. Then one day, a quiet hug made them both realise that something had changed. There was no grand proposal, no dramatic moment—just that feeling of knowing. Later, when Hina was diagnosed with cancer, instead of drifting apart, their bond grew stronger than ever.
Reflecting on Hina's fight and their shared journey, Rocky shares, 'If I could take her pain and make it mine, I would have done it in a second. But that's not possible, so I did the only thing I could: be there for her. For me, that was never a big thing. I love her, and being there for her was the easiest decision of my life. The truth is, no matter how close you are, you can never really know the extent of what it takes to fight what Hina was fighting. Even as a partner, you have limitations. You sit beside them, you hold their hand, but the battle was hers."
'Every day brings a new challenge, and every day they fight it with a courage that humbles you. But she refused to back down. I'm grateful that I get to wake up wanting to do better for her, because she deserves that and more. It's not about me or how I feel. It's about her—in sickness or in health, in pain or in love, in despair or in hope. It's only ever about her happiness and well-being," he added.
'Life tested us in ways I never imagined. And through all of it, Rocky never left my side. He put everything—his work, his own health, his peace—behind just to make sure I was okay. That's not something you see every day. Most people walk away when things get hard, but he didn't," Hina added while talking about how Rocky supported her.

One big winner was Aatmapamphlet, directed by newcomer Ashish Bende, who received the Best Debut Film of a Director award. The film stood out not just because of Ashish's impressive work behind the camera, but also because it was the first Marathi movie to bring together three big names like Zee Studios, Aanand L Rai and Bhushan Kumar. After the win, Rai praised Ashish's dedication. He added that this success proved personal stories have great power and said he felt lucky to support Ashish at the start of his career. It's A Lasting Joy For Anand L Rai As per Times Now, Rai mentioned, 'There is tremendous pride and lasting joy in watching a debutant filmmaker find his voice. To see Ashish win the National Award for Best Debut Director for Aatmaphaplet is joy in its purest form. It is the kind of moment that reaffirms why we built Colour Yellow to take creative risks, back new talent, and let the most heartfelt stories speak loudly. Today, Ashish has strengthened my belief that the most powerful stories are often the most personal. I feel incredibly fortunate that we could play a small part in his beginning. I extend my most sincere gratitude to the esteemed jury and the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting for this humbling recognition. Receiving this honour is a moment of great pride for all of us who believe in the power of sincere storytelling." What Else For Marathi Film Industry? Along with Aatmapamphlet, Naal 2, directed by Sudhakar Reddy Yakkanti, also won the Best Children's Film award. Both films received Swarna Kamal and a cash prize of Rs 3 Lakh each. Another winner was Shyamchi Aai, which was named the Best Marathi Feature Film, directed by Sujay Dahake. That's not all, child actors from Naal 2, Treesha Thosar, Shrinivas Pokale and Bhargav Jagtap, took home the Best Child Artist award, along with Kabir Khandare from Gypsy. Although Ashish Bende's film was made on a minimal budget, it was screened at the prestigious Berlin International Film Festival in 2023. The film received a loud and cheerful response from the audience. First Published: August 02, 2025, 12:15 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Saiyaara To Dhadak 2: Internet Spots Striking Similarities In Recent Hindi Film Posters
Bollywood fans noticed striking similarities in posters of recent Hindi films like Saiyaara, Dhadak 2, and Aankhon Ki Gustakhiyaan, calling out the 'copy-paste' trend online. Bollywood fans are known for their sharp eyes, and this time, they're turning their attention to film posters. A growing number of social media users have pointed out the uncanny visual similarities between posters of recent Hindi film releases — Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda's Saiyaara, Siddhanth Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri's Dhadak 2, and National Award winner Vikrant Massey and Shanaya Kapoor's Aankhon Ki Gustakhiyaan, among others. From the framing of romantic leads where they stick their foreheads together to almost-identical backdrops and poses, netizens have taken to platforms like X and Instagram to share side-by-side comparisons, calling out what they describe as a 'copy-paste' trend in Bollywood poster design. A user circulated the similar-looking posters of Bollywood's recent slate of films and Reddit was quick to comment. First, watch a video here: An Internet user shared a poster of Kartik Aaryan and Kiara Advani's Satyaprem Ki Katha and compared it to Saiyaara poster. The netizen wrote, 'Saiyara is also very close to this. The colour scheme is too similar." Yet another compared it to Ranbir Kapoor and Shraddha Kapoor's Tu Jhoothi Main Makkar. Another argued, 'I mean how much innovation do you want for romantic films? There will only be select few poses." 'Everyone is doing this in their shadi pics too!", quipped a fan. Other arguments included some defending the aesthetic overlap as a popular industry style, while others urged designers to bring back originality and creative risk-taking in visual marketing. Meanwhile, YRF's Saiyaara has been a rage with its storytelling, cast and songs. The film has gone on to become one of the most profitable projects of 2025, amassing a box office collection of over Rs 300 crore worldwide. As for Dhadak 2, the film starring Siddhanth and Triptii started slow at the box office. The film clashed with Ajay Devgn's Son of Sardaar 2, a franchise with a loyal fanbase. On Day 1, Son of Sardaar 2 raked in an impressive Rs 6.75 crore, comfortably surpassing the day 1 earnings of Dhadak 2, which managed Rs 3.35 crore. Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan, starring Vikrant and Shanaya, opened with a strong buzz. However, the film underperformed at the box office, earning Rs 1.61 crore.
