Sara Ali Khan Recalls Lying To Amrita Singh About Local Train Ride: 'Got Caught by A Journalist'
Sara Ali Khan recalls hiding her Mumbai local train ride from mom Amrita Singh, who later found out from a journalist. 'She was really upset,' the actress says. Sara Ali Khan has never shied away from expressing how close she is to her mother, veteran actor Amrita Singh. But like most teenagers, she too had her fair share of rebellious moments. In a recent appearance on BookMyShow Unscripted with RJ Sukriti, Sara opened up about one such incident when she lied to her mother — and got caught in a rather unexpected way. The Metro… In Dino actor recalled sneaking a ride on a Mumbai local train without informing her mom. 'I actually have. I lied to my mom about it though. This was years ago. She didn't know that I was on a local train, so I pretended I was at a neighbour's house," she said. What made things worse was how Amrita Singh found out — not from Sara, but from a journalist. 'A journalist actually called her and told her that I am so proud of the way you have brought up your daughter. I have a photo of her on a local train, can I print it?" Sara recounted. Naturally, Amrita was furious — not because of the ride itself, but because she had kept it a secret. 'She was really upset because I was young and there had just been an accident on the local train. She told me to be careful and just basically not lie about my location," Sara said, calling the memory 'not fun." Sara also opened up in a past interview with Hindustan Times about how negativity on social media affects her mother. 'I can fully understand that this is some nameless, frustrated person. But maa toh maa hoti hai. That's the only thing that really gets to me. If I could block her social media, I wouldn't give a damn!" 'She reads and pretends there is nothing," Sara added. 'It's like the elephant in the room we don't address. But, I know she has read something sad. She doesn't address it, but I can see it on her face. Mujhe acha nahi lagta." Sara is currently basking in the release of Metro… In Dino, directed by Anurag Basu. The ensemble film features a powerhouse cast including Anupam Kher, Neena Gupta, Konkona Sen Sharma, Pankaj Tripathi, Aditya Roy Kapur, and others. The film hit theatres on July 4.

What Ajay Devgn said about corruption in India might change how you see it. 'We are corrupt'
Ajay Devgn , the Bollywood superstar, has been actively promoting his new movie Raid 2, which released on May 1. In a recent interview with BookMyShow Unscripted, the actor shared his thoughts on the issue of corruption in India and the pressure faced by public officers. His views shed light on the broader societal context that contributes to the prevalence of corruption within government institutions. #Pahalgam Terrorist Attack Nuclear Power!

Airspace blockade: India plots a flight path to skip Pakistan Ajay's Reflection of Society Ajay Devgn discussed the complex issue of corruption and its link to society. According to him, it's easy for people to blame officers and government representatives for corruption, but the reality is more complicated. 'I feel we blame the officers but these officers come from the same place as us. From the same society. It's not about who is corrupt and who is not, the point is they are one of us. So we are corrupt,' said Devgn. He highlighted that these officers are products of the same social system, and their actions are influenced by the environment they come from. Devgn further elaborated on how corruption infiltrates different sectors of society, with varying degrees of impact. He explained that corruption often emerges in some areas more than others, depending on the nature of the institution and its officials. 'When corruption creeps into a society, there are different places where it thrives, and in others, it may not. Some people are good, while others are bad. Just like society, these departments reflect the same dynamics, because they are one of us and we are one of them,' Devgn stated. His words suggest that a collective understanding of corruption is crucial in addressing the root causes of this issue. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Join new Free to Play WWII MMO War Thunder War Thunder Play Now Undo Raid 2 – A Story of Corruption and Justice In Raid 2, Ajay Devgn reprises his role as Amey Patnaik, an honest IRS officer.
