Ranbir Kapoor says he got emotional after seeing his father Rishi Kapoor in The Romantics: ‘The next day he was admitted to the hospital’

Ranbir Kapoor has been busy promoting Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar. The film, which is releases in theatres in two days, marks his return to the romantic comedy genre. It also marks his third release within a year’s time. The actor misses his father, the late Rishi Kapoor, before his film’s release a lot. During the promotions, the actor admitted that he got emotional after seeing his father Rishi Kapoor in YRF’s docu-series The Romantics.

Rishi Kapoor did his last interview for Netflix’s The Romantics, a docu-series celebrating filmmaker Yash Chopra, YRF’s legacy and its impact on Indian pop culture over the last 50 years! He had closely collaborated with Yash Chopra and then Aditya Chopra in cult hits like Kabhi Kabhie, Chandni, Jab Tak Hai Jaan (in which he was paired with his wife Neetu Kapoor), Fanaa, Hum Tum, etc. It marked his last on-screen camera interview after which he was admitted to the hospital and within a month’s time, he had passed away fighting the battle of leukemia.

During a group interaction on Sunday, which Bollywood Hungama was a part of, Ranbir Kaoor said that he misses his father every day. The Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar star said, “I miss him a lot. I miss him every day. Especially now, I have seen The Romantics and hearing him talk I felt really emotional. I remember that day when he was shooting for the show – the next day, he was admitted to the hospital and we lost him in a month’s time. Losing a parent is a very big deal in anyone’s life. I think of him every day. I am also blessed with a daughter (Raha Kapoor). I feel like somewhere he would have been very happy for this moment in my life. He is with me every day. My phone’s wallpaper still has him (Rishi Kapoor’s photo).”

Meanwhile, Ranbir Kapoor starrer Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar releases in theatres on March 8, 2023. Helmed by Luv Ranjan, the film also stars Shraddha Kapoor. He also has Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Animal set for August 2023 release.

AR Rahman asks for better safety standards after his son AR Ameen escapes major accident by a ‘few inches’ as chandeliers fall on set

Music maestro AR Rahman’s son AR Ameen escaped a major accident when he was saved by a few inches after chandeliers fell on the set. Ameen shared a series of photos on his Instagram about what went down and thanked the almighty for saving him.

AR Ameen wrote, “I am thankful to the Almighty, my parents, family, well-wishers, and my spiritual teacher that I am safe and alive today. Just three nights ago, I was shooting for a song and I trusted the team to have taken care of the engineering and safety, while I was focusing on performing in front of the camera. The whole truss and chandeliers that were suspended from a crane came crashing down while I was right in the middle of the spot. If it were a few inches here and there, a few seconds earlier or later, the whole rig would have fallen on our heads. My team and I are shell-shocked and unable to recover from the trauma.”

AR Rahman issued a statement and asked for better safety on the sets. “A few days back my son AR Ameen and his styling team escaped a potentially fatal disaster. Miraculously Alhamdulillah (by the Grace of God) there were no injuries after the accident at Film City, Mumbai. As we grow our industry, we need to have a movement towards world class safety standards on Indian sets and locations. We are all quite shaken and are awaiting the results of the investigation into the incident by the insurance company as well as the production company Goodfellas Studios,” read AR Rahman’s statement, as reported by Times of India.

AR Ameen made his debut as a playback singer in O Kadhal Kanmani, a 2015 Tamil movie. He has sung in various languages just like his father. He last crooned ‘Sooravalli Ponnu’.

Sara Ali Khan calls 2020 “worst phase” of her life; says, “It started with a breakup”

With COVID-19 becoming a pandemic, the year 2020 was not so eventful for most of us, and many Bollywood celebs will agree with it. Among many others, Sara Ali Khan recently came forward and confessed that 2020 was the worst phase of her life while stating that it started with a breakup. For the unversed, Sara was reportedly dating her Love Aaj Kal co-star Kartik Aaryan. However, post the release of the Imtiaz Ali directorial, the rumoured couple parted ways.

It all happened during her recent appearance on YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia’s podcast The Ranveer Show. She candidly asserted, “2020 just got progressively worse. It started with a breakup and kept getting worse. It was a very bad year and most of it is on the internet.” As the conversation progressed further, she briefly spoke about criticism of her performance in Love Aaj Kal and explained it didn’t bother her much as she was not doing good on her personal front.

“Sometimes, when you know you deserve the trolling or when something is really bad, the fact that it is on the internet is so incidental and so trivial compared to the fact that it happened, that it doesn’t really matter. If you’re heartbroken, miserable, exhausted, scared, nervous, it doesn’t matter what 20 people are reading about it when you are so disturbed yourself,” said the 27-year-old actress.

Coming to the professional front, Sara was last seen in Atrangi Re, co-starring Dhanush. Directed by Aanand L Rai, the film was released directly on the OTT platform, Disney+ Hotstar. She has a bunch of projects in her kitty including Gaslight, opposite Vikrant Massey. The Pavan Kirpalani directorial is slated to release on Disney+ Hotstar on March 31.
