Have you heard? What would that be?

Farah Khan recently revealed that she had initially considered Hrithik Roshan for the role eventually played by Zayed Khan in 'Main Hoon Na'

As the charming younger brother of Shah Rukh Khan, Zayed Khan delivered an impactful performance in Main Hoon Na. However, on an ongoing reality show, Farah Khan recently revealed that it was Hrithik Roshan who was initially considered for the role. “Casting Zayed was challenging. The film got delayed for one year in that process. At first, we thought of casting Hrithik Roshan for the role, but then, Kaho Na Pyaar Hai released, and he became a megastar. I saw a scene of Zayed Khan in some other film, and I thought of  Mohabbat hai mirchi. I met him and changed the role,” she revealed on Indian Idol. 

The other side

Amar Upadhyay made his production debut with Kyunkii Tum Hi Ho. The actor says, “People have given me so much love as an actor. It is because of their love that I am what I am today. I am grateful that my fans have supported me and loved my show, Kyunkii Tum Hi Ho.” Upadhyay shot to fame as Mihir Virani in the show, Kyunkii Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, and was also seen as Virendra Pratap Singh in Molkki.

Off for the new year

As the year draws to a close, many Bollywood celebrities are heading out of the city to mark the new year with their dear ones. Vicky Kaushal and Katrina Kaif, who tied the knot last year, have headed to Jawai Leopard Safari in Bali, Rajasthan. Jawai has more than 40 families of leopards and is famous for the big cat sightings. It is surrounded by the Aravalli  range of mountains. The place is famous among the elite section of society.

That’s the way

Everyone could learn a lesson or two from Seema Sajdeh on dealing with trolls. On an ongoing chat show, Sajdeh recalled the time when she was trolled after a viral video of her in an inebriated state made its way to social media. Responding to a question on the video, she said, “I am actually grateful for all the judgment, because somewhere it has helped me become thick-skinned. You will react once, you will react twice, after the third time, you are like ‘whatever’; faceless, nameless people! I want to tell them they will be seeing it again. Everybody has become a judge and a jury.”

The Bhai from the ’90s

Amid his 57th birthday celebrations, a handwritten note, reported to belong to Salman Khan, has made its way to social media. The letter, which dates back to 1990, has Khan express gratitude for his success as an actor. “I have to thank you for accepting me and for being my fans. I am concentrating on good scripts to the best of my judgement, because I know that whatever I do now will be compared to Maine Pyaar Kiya. So whenever you hear an announcement, be rest assured that it is going to be a good film. I love you, and I hope that you will keep on loving me, because the day you stop loving me, you’ll stop seeing my films and that is the end of my career,” read the note.
