Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Talking about the same, "I started going to the gym, worked out, took dance classes, dialogue classes, acting classes - all of it. In fact, I'd also be reading my lines while standing at the petrol pump, waiting for the tank to be filled. And just like that, woh jalwa, woh nasha, obsession ho gaya". 'Sitaare Zameen Par': Riteish Deshmukh's Emotional Shoutout For Genelia's Big Win Immersing himself in the process, he sharpened his skills, in anticipation for the right moment to arrive.

The actor further mentioned, "He asked me, 'You're a very good-looking guy. Will you do a film for me?' In that moment, I knew I was a lean, mean machine.

When Farah Khan spoke about marrying Shirish Kunder, who gave her an ‘ultimatum': ‘Karan Johar did my tarot card reading and said..'
Farah Khan has always been outspoken about her life and work. The choreographer turned filmmaker, creating waves with her YouTube cooking show, once opened up about her dating life with husband Shirish Kunder and how the proposal was more of an 'ultimatum.' While interacting with Simi Garewal on her show, Shirish confessed that he chose her. 'I had a crush on her. There was this silent crush. I never did anything about it. So, when she offered me to edit Main Hoon Na, I did it for a much lower price than I would have. So, during the making, I saw no hope of letting her know. I was just an editor. I, honestly, didn't expect anything to happen. I had no clue that we would get married or I will be seeing her,' shared Shirish. Responding, Farah admitted her initial impression of Shirish. 'I had no idea. He had short hair and he used to wear specs.' He added that it was at a party at Farah's home where he 'got drunk and I told her'. 'The more I spoke to him, I realised that he is extremely intelligent because till then I never took him seriously. Also, it was flattering to know that someone has a crush on you,' Farah continued. When Simi asked him how he had proposed to her, Shirish said, 'I threatened her.' Farah detailed it. 'He said if you don't want to get married, darling, get out! I don't want to see you and waste my time. If you are serious and you will get married, then we will take it further. Then I thought about it. He actually gave me an ultimatum. Normally, the girls do that. Thank God he did that. That's when I realised I didn't want to lose him.' Shirish explained why he did that in the interview: 'I am scared of relationships. I am scared of being hurt. I can't take breakups. She was the only one I wanted to meet again and again. Otherwise, I was so scared that I would meet girls only once and never again. And when I met Farah, I thought if I lost her, I won't be able to take it. So, I gave her an ultimatum.' Farah also shared that, unlike what many believe, her directorial debut's lead and friend Shah Rukh Khan wasn't the first one to know about her relationship with Shirish. 'I think Gauri found out before anyone else. She saw the two of us in the editing room, where she came to see a promo, as she was the producer. She called me up and said, 'You are lying. You have been hiding from us. I can make out that both of you are seeing each other.' I was like, Gauri, no, no! Till then, we didn't want the unit or anyone to know,' expressed Farah, adding that she finally made an announcement at a big Main Hoon Na celebration party at Shah Rukh's house 'where I was very high and drunk'. 'He came there and I introduced him to everybody,' said Farah. Interestingly, her friend and host-filmmaker Karan Johar also reads tarot cards, Farah shared in the same interview. 'Karan read my tarot card. He is the best. He picked up a card and said, 'Who is this guy you are seeing?'. He said, 'I think you are going to marry him and he is going to be great for you.' So, everyone who met him always had nice things to say,' an excited Farah shared. The couple tied the knot in 2004 and have three children. Taking a cue from the couple's candid admission, let's understand all about ultimatums in love and how they can sometimes come from a place of honesty. 'We often assume ultimatums in relationships are harsh. But sometimes, they come from the heart's most tender, terrified parts. In Shirish-Farah's case, it appears that he wasn't trying to pressure her. 'But because he was scared. Scared of love. Scared of being left. Scared of giving his heart and watching it break quietly in the background. And in that moment, what looked like a hard line was actually his way of asking – 'Will you choose me?' said Delnna Rrajesh, psychotherapist, and life coach. Farah admitted she paused when he said that. 'It made her realise something she hadn't slowed down enough to see: She didn't want to lose him either. Sometimes, it takes someone's honesty to shake us awake to our own,' explained Delnna. *Vulnerability often hides behind firmness. Not everyone knows how to say, 'I'm scared to lose you.' Sometimes they'll say, 'Make a choice.' Don't just hear the words. Let's listen to the heart beneath them. *People don't fear commitment. They fear heartbreak. 'When someone avoids closeness, it's not always detachment. Often, it's trauma. Loss. Fear. If they tell you their fears – honour that gift,' said Delnna. *Clarity is an act of self-respect. When someone asks you to decide, it's not rejection. It's protection. It comes from a space of need, desire to solidify, and sometimes vulnerability. No one deserves to stay in a limbo of maybe. Choosing is an act of love for BOTH! *Sometimes, women wait too long to admit their truth. 'We often expect men to pursue, to persist. But real connection happens when both people step in with presence. Farah only realized how much she cared when the risk of losing him became real,' shared Delnna. *The strongest relationships are born when truth is spoken early. 'Not in anger. But in clarity,' said Delnna.

Zayed Khan has no regrets marrying at 25; reveals it was tough for Malaika to handle female attention: 'It was love at first sight'
Zayed Khan, who debuted in 2004, married his high school sweetheart Malaika at 25 despite industry doubts. He calls it love at first sight and admits it was tough for Malaika to handle his female fans. He has no regrets and values their private wedding and strong bond. Zayed Khan burst onto the Bollywood scene in 2004, quickly winning hearts with popular films like 'Main Hoon Na' and 'Dus'. At that time, he also grabbed media attention by marrying Malaika Parekh, his high school sweetheart whom he had known since 1995. Winning Malaika's Heart During an interview with Siddharth Kannan, Zayed shared the challenges he faced in winning Malaika's affection. He admitted, 'Mujhe lagta hai 2 mahine lage sirf ankh mein ankh milane mein, aur she was a tough girl to woo. Not easy.' Reflecting on his choice to marry young at 25, Zayed acknowledged that it went against the usual industry beliefs, where many thought an actor's career might suffer after marriage. Facing Industry Doubts The actor shared, 'You are right about the fact that a lot of people were against me getting married at that time, especially many of the people I had signed films with. They all told me, 'Your market value will fall, your fan following will drop,' and so on. So I genuinely called all of them. I stepped back from about 10–15 films I had signed, maybe even 30. Three of the producers told me, 'No, no, no, you go ahead. We still want you. '' Love at First Sight He described his connection with Malaika as 'love at first sight.' He explained, 'I've never been the kind of guy who wanted a long-term relationship or anything like that. But I saw somebody who was probably meant for me. It was love at first sight. I don't know what happened to me — I just saw this girl and said, 'I'm going to marry her.' Without even talking to her. I just knew it. I don't know why. I just knew it. I said, 'This is the person I'm going to marry. '' He acknowledged that this sudden certainty might have been overwhelming for Malaika, who likely wanted to take things slow. The turning point came in 2004 when Malaika's father passed away from a heart attack. Zayed recounted, 'I just went to her house and told her, 'Pack your bag. You're coming and staying with me. We're going to get married.'' He shared his deep affection for her parents and the special bond he had with her father, emphasizing, 'This was my girl, man. Nobody could take her away from me.' Handling Fame and Relationship Challenges Khan emphasized that marrying at a young age was a decision he never regretted, despite the difficulties that came with increased fame and attention from female fans. Reflecting on whether this ever sparked insecurity in his relationship, he responded with candor and compassion for Malaika: 'See, being liked by the fan following of ladies, girls and women was a good thing in an actor's life. How you handle it, that is important. Was it tough? Yeah, very tough. It was tougher for her. Never insecure, I don't think she is ever insecure. I can sense that she did hold back a lot of things that she probably wanted to tell me, and it's the nature of the beast, unfortunately. You do get swayed by a lot of things and people. And there could have been mistakes, and it wouldn't be out of the ordinary.' On Mistakes and the Wedding Ceremony When questioned directly about any mistakes he might have made, Zayed responded candidly, 'Innocent are those who have not got caught as yet.' He has also revealed the unique nature of his marriage to Malaika. Before their grand wedding celebration, which was attended by thousands, the couple had a private, intimate ceremony. Malaika arranged this secret event to share a special moment with their closest friends and family away from the public eye. In the same interview, Zayed confessed that he was unfamiliar with many Hindu rituals and often depended on Malaika to guide him through the proceedings.
