'Allu Arjun, Hrithik Roshan, Honey Singh are the only celebs I've DM'd': Lauren Gottlieb on her dream collaborations
Lauren was asked if there were any Indian celebrities she would love to work with, and she replied, 'Allu Arjun. I love his action, I love his dancing. He's too cool. He's actually probably the only Indian artist that I've dropped into DMs and been like, come on, let's (work together). Actually, no, that's a lie. Honey Singh, also, I've been messaging like, come on, let's do a song, let's go. And Hrithik. It's gonna happen one day, I know it. I don't know why it hasn't happened yet. Us dancing together would be magic, it would be perfect.'
She also revealed in another part of the interview that Hrithik once surprised her with cake on her birthday. 'I was performing at IIFA Rocks, and there was the after-party. I was at Hrithik Roshan's after-party, and it was my birthday. All of a sudden, the sea of people moved, and Hrithik comes with a birthday cake, and he is singing Happy Birthday to me. It was the best thing,' she said. About Lauren Gottlieb

Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai's Rahul Sharma Opens Up About Challenges In TV Industry
Last Updated: Rahul Sharma highlighted how one of the toughest parts of being an actor today is staying mentally steady. Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai has been one of Indian television's most loved and longest-running shows. In May this year, the daily soap took a seven-year leap and brought in new characters and twists to keep the audience hooked. One of the fresh faces to join the cast was actor Rahul Sharma, who plays Anshuman in the show. His performance made him a fan favourite. In a recent interview, the actor opened up about the mental and emotional pressure that comes with being part of television. He highlighted how one of the toughest parts of being an actor today is staying mentally steady. 'People often talk about the hustle in acting. But for me, it's not the actual work—that I love—it's the uncertainty that's the real hustle. Sometimes, there's a lot of work; other times, there are long dry spells. Managing that unpredictability, staying mentally balanced through those gaps—that's where the real challenge lies. And that uncertainty doesn't really go away, even with success," he said in an interview with the news agency IANS. Rahul further explained that when you start earning well, your responsibilities and lifestyle also grow. 'You're never truly sure when the next project will come or if it will match the last one creatively or financially. That's just how this industry is – it's complex, it's unstable, and you have to make peace with that ambiguity," he added. Rahul also shared that working in television never really gets easier. Every new role comes with its own set of challenges. 'You might assume that with time and experience, it gets easier to slip into emotions. And yes, you do understand your emotional process better. But every role still brings a new layer, a new lens. The same situation, a loss, anger, or joy, can feel entirely different depending on the character you're playing," he said. The actor also said that many people think acting gets easier with time, but that is not really true. Even if you get used to the process, the emotional effort is always there. 'The emotion is never the same twice. Some characters require you to go really deep, while others are more surface-level. But every time, it's a fresh journey. So no, I wouldn't say it ever gets easy. It's a new challenge every time," he said. Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, produced by Rajan Shahi under the banner of Director's Kut Production, stars Rohit Purohit and Samridhii Shukla in the lead roles. First Published:
