Neetu Kapoor opens up about Ranbir Kapoor – Alia Bhatt’s wedding; claims marriage has changed her son

Earlier this year in April, Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt tied the knot in a highly intimate and private affair with only a few selected family and friends in attendance. While the couple’s wedding made headlines for days before and after the actual date, neither of the two has been very vocal about life post their wedding. Now, revealing details about the couple post-marriage, Ranbir Kapoor’s mother Neetu Kapoor, revealed that post-marriage Ranbir is a ‘changed man’.

Currently, busy promoting her soon-to-release film Jugjugg Jeeyo, along with Anil Kapoor, Varun Dhanwan, and Kiara Advani, Neetu has been doing interview rounds with various media houses. In one such interview with Hindustan Times, Neetu Kapoor got talking about how Ranbir has changed after marriage. Speaking about the change Neetu adds, “I am the happiest, today. She (Alia) has given him a lot of love and warmth. I feel the change in him. They look good together. I am very happy and feel lucky that Alia has come into our family. So, life has really changed and I am very content. Woh tension hota hai na, shaadi nahin hui, shaadi nahi hui. Ab shaadi ho gayi (There is always that tension that he isn’t married. Now he is),”

Further talking about the low-key wedding celebrations Ranbir and Alia had Neetu Kapoor defends the couple’s idea and instead says that such ceremonies are perfect. “It set an example for many. You don’t have to do a big wedding. You should do a wedding where you should be happy and family should enjoy. Else, hum doosre logon ko khush karne mein lag jaate hain (We just end up making others happy). We should enjoy”, added the veteran actress.

While Neetu Kapoor is certainly still celebrating her son’s marriage, the veteran actress will soon be seen on the big screen in the film JugJugg Jeeyo. Directed by Raj Mehta, JugJugg Jeeyo, Neetu’s comeback film, also stars Anil Kapoor, Varun Dhawan, and Kiara Advani, and is set to release on June 24.

18 Years Of Hum Tum EXCLUSIVE: “We had first approached Aamir Khan. At that point, he was going through his divorce; Hrithik Roshan had liked the script but declined as it was a time when he had delivered flops in a row” – Kunal Kohli

The much-loved romcom Hum Tum recently completed 18 years on May 28. Saif Ali Khan delivered one of the finest performances of his career in this film. The performance is loved so much that even today, it’s impossible to imagine any other actor playing Karan Kapoor in this movie.

 

On Hum Tum’s 18th anniversary, Bollywood Hungama spoke exclusively to its director Kunal Kohli who shared interesting trivia about the film. He said that while getting Rani Mukerji as the lead actress was not difficult, finding the male lead was a challenge.

Kunal Kohli revealed, “We had first approached Aamir Khan. At that point, he was going through his divorce. He was so low that he was not able to even hear the narration. We then approached Hrithik Roshan. He liked the script but declined as it was a time when he had delivered flops in a row.”

Kunal Kohli continued, “When we approached Vivek Oberoi, usne pehle ‘haan’ bola, fir ‘naa’ bola aur fir wapis ‘haan’ bola! He said yes at first. When we went to get his dates, he walked out. Then after some time, he again showed interest. This time, we told him, ‘Nahin, rehne do’! Agar kisi ko kaam nahi karna hai, toh mat karo. Kisi se zabardasti kyun kaam karwana.”

These rejections took a toll on Kunal Kohli, “I feared the film would never be made. This is when producer Aditya Chopra told me that I should try Saif. He told me, ‘Tera har scene Saif ke saath kitna accha lagega. Think about it’!”

Kunal Kohli however had reservations as Saif Ali Khan had not worked ever a solo hero at the box office. Kunal Kohli stated, “I told Adi, ‘Baat toh sahi hai. Par picture dekhega kaun?’ However, he told me, ‘Woh mera problem hai. Tu picture bana’.” Saif Ali Khan then came on board and the rest is history.

Salaar: Prabhas to feature in double role; will clash on screen with himself in film

Prabhas is no stranger to double roles. He played father and son in S S Rajamouli’s Baahubali. But the two avatars did not share any screen space together. That is about to change. In KGF director Prashanth Neel’s Salaar, Prabhas is cast in two roles. The actor will be sporting entirely different looks and physiques for the two parts.

Though this is not confirmed yet, the double role in Salaar will feature Prabhas as brothers who are physically and emotionally the opposite of one another. While Prabhas has already shot for one of the double roles, he has now lost 20-22 kgs to play the other role.

A source from Hyderabad informs that Salaar will feature face-offs between the two versions of Prabhas. “It is not an ordinary Ram aur Shyam kind of double role, but far more complex,” informs the source.

David Dhawan responds on his health issue; says, “I am home and I am fine”

David Dhawan was hospitalized earlier this week for health issues. He is now recovering rapidly at home. When I spoke to him he was in a cheerful mood. David said, “By the grace of God I am home and I am fine.” This is not the first time that David Dhawan had a health scare. David had a close brush with mortality when he collapsed at Bunty Walia’s wedding reception in December 2012.

Strangely David Dhawan, an immensely popular figure in the film industry, got no help from most of the invitees who one is told, seemed “too shocked to react” to his sudden collapse. The entire restaurant was filled with David’s friends. He’s a very popular guy. But only Apoorva Lakhia and Kunal Kohli actually came forward to save David from a potentially fatal situation. In fact, David’s wife didn’t even know who Lakhia was. It was Lakhia who picked up David, put him in his car, and then rushed across a one-way street on his feet to let the driver cruise speedily the wrong way to reach the Leelavati hospital fast.

David’s elder son Rohit was in Bali with his wife, and Varun was in Bangkok shooting an ad with Alia Bhatt when his incident happened. It is after the incident that Varun took charge of his father’s physical fitness, controlling his diet and making sure David goes for his morning walks.

Luckily this time when David had a health setback Varun was with his father. The young actor canceled all his promotional activities for Jugjugg Jeeyo for a few days so could be with his father.
