Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff recently made a spiritual pit stop amidst their promotional schedule in Abu Dhabi. The duo, who are gearing up for the release of their action-packed film Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, paid a visit to the BAPS Hindu Mandir. Situated in Abu Dhabi, the BAPS Hindu Mandir is the first Hindu temple in the city.

Akshay Kumar took to social media to share a glimpse of their visit, donning a traditional white kurta adorned with black motifs and black trousers. The duo was welcomed by Brahmaviharidas Swami, who greeted them with garlands of flowers against the backdrop of the Wall of Harmony—a striking feature of the temple that showcases iconic monuments from around the world, adorned with the word ‘harmony’ in diverse languages.

During their tour, Akshay and Tiger had the opportunity to explore the origins of the sacred rivers Ganga, Yamuna, and Saraswati through Brahmaviharidas Swami, underlining the spiritual significance of these revered water bodies. The priest also elucidated the importance of the Divine Eye overlooking the confluence of these rivers.

Akshay Kumar echoed these sentiments, describing the visit as a surreal experience and lauding the Mandir’s inclusive ethos, where individuals from all walks of life can seek solace and offer prayers without discrimination.

Anil Kapoor credits wife Sunita for financial support during early career struggles: “Before I can come to know, she’s already paid the bill”

Actor Anil Kapoor recently opened up about his wife Sunita Kapoor’s unwavering support during his initial struggles in the film industry. In a candid interview alongside his daughter Sonam Kapoor, Anil revealed how Sunita played a pivotal role in their early life as a couple.

Anil spoke about his career journey that has seen him navigate both highs and lows over the past four decades. During a promotional event for Ariel’s #sharetheload campaign, Anil, interviewed by Neha Dhupia, shared, “In my life, when I first met Sunita 50 years ago… When I met her, obviously, I was not doing very well financially. She would take care of a lot of things, and that’s how we shared the load. She stepped forward to share the load where money was concerned. It’s not only about doing household jobs.”

Anil further elaborated on Sunita’s intuitive understanding of their financial situation during their dating years. “There were times when I couldn’t afford certain things, but I didn’t have to tell her. She would automatically… travelling, going out for meals, sometimes we’d go to a normal restaurant, sometimes we’d go to a slightly better restaurant when we were dating each other,” he said. 

“Automatically, she knows that of course I don’t have the money to pay the bill. So, she quickly slips some money out of her bag, and before I can come to know, she’s already paid the bill,” he added. 

For the unversed, Anil Kapoor and Sunita Kapoor have been married since 1984. Their daughter Sonam Kapoor, who was present during the interview, is an actress herself. The couple also has a younger daughter, Rhea Kapoor, a film producer, and their son Harshvardhan Kapoor, who is also an actor.

Man poses as Akshay Kumar’s representative, attempts Rs 6 lakh scam: Reports

Recently, a man attempted a fraud worth Rs 6 lakh under the guise of offering a job at actor Akshay Kumar’s production house. The accused, identified as Princekumar Rajan Anjanikumar Sinha (29), allegedly reached out to Pooja Anandani (28), a social media influencer, claiming to be a representative from Akshay Kumar’s production house, Cape of Good Films.

Princekumar, posing as Rohan Mehra from Cape of Good Films, reportedly contacted Pooja and promised her a lucrative position within the production house. He further enticed her by offering to arrange for a professional photoshoot by a renowned photographer associated with film star Amitabh Bachchan. However, to facilitate this purported opportunity, the accused demanded a sum of Rs 6 lakh from the social media influencer.

Sensing something amiss, Pooja decided to verify the accused’s claims. She contacted Akshay Kumar’s production house directly and discovered that there was no employee by the name of Rohan Mehra or any ongoing recruitment process matching his assertions. Realising the attempted fraud, she wasted no time in alerting the authorities.

Upon receiving the complaint, the Juhu police swiftly took action and apprehended Sinha. It was revealed that Princekumar had fabricated details about an upcoming film project, falsely claiming that Pooja had been selected for a role. His elaborate scheme included arranging multiple meetings with Pooja under the pretext of organising the photoshoot and finalising the job offer.

Fortunately, due to Pooja’s vigilance and prompt action, the fraud was thwarted, and Sinha was taken into custody before any financial harm could be inflicted.
