About Ali Asgar
Ali hasn't reunited with Kapil for quite some time, and recently, while speaking about it, he told ETimes, 'Ye toh audience ka pyaar hai that they still keep writing that they want to see me back on the show. I'm thankful to God, and the audience, for liking my work. Main Kapil ka bhi shukarguzar hoon ke main aise ek show ka hissa raha, jisse abhi main nahi hoon phir bhi itna pyaar mujhe milta hai. Thank you, audience. I don't know about the future, but right now I'm busy with my chat show Chaddi Buddy. This buddy (Baktiyar) doesn't leave me."
Ali also shared that he has been unable to watch The Great Indian Kapil Show since he has been travelling a lot lately. 'No, I haven't been able to watch Kapil's new show because I've been travelling a lot of late. I'm working on a few films which are being shot in small villages where there are no proper networks. Then I got busy with my daughter's admission, and next month I'm going on a long tour and I won't be there. So I've been busy with all this, because of which I couldn't watch the show. But I'm sure it is one of the best teams toh bahut hi accha show hoga," he added.
About Bigg Boss 19
The makers of Salman Khan's controversial reality show unveiled the official trailer of the upcoming season recently, promising entertainment like never before. Set against the dramatic backdrop of a Parliament-inspired Bigg Boss house, the promo reveals the theme of the show – Gharwalon Ki Sarkaar. For the first time in Bigg Boss history, housemates will have the authority to make decisions big and small, turning the house into a battleground of public sentiment, all with unfiltered consequences.
'Bigg Boss ka har season alag hota hai, lekin iss baar toh scene hi palat gaya hai. Gharwalon Ki Sarkaar ka matlab hai power unke haath mein, aur jab power milti hai, toh asli chehre saamne aate hain. Is baar contestants ko apne decisions lene ka poora haq diya gaya hai, par har decision ke saath ek consequence bhi aata hai. Main hamesha kehta hoon, tameez se khelo, par yeh log tameez chhod ke drama le aate hain. This season, they'll try to run the house their way but, when things go out of control, you know who's coming back to set the record straight!" he said in the promo.

From earning Rs 500 a month to starring in Rs 1160 crore movie with Shah Rukh Khan, a look at this Kapil Sharma show star's journey
Comedian Sunil Grover hails from Haryana. Once earning just Rs 500 a month, to sharing screen space with Shah Rukh Khan in, Jawan, one of the biggest blockbusters in Indian cinema, this Kapil Sharma star has won the hearts of millions with his role as Gutthi. When he was struggling with his low income, it was his father's words that pushed him during the difficult times to ultimately achieve success. Can you guess who the star is? Born in a modest household in Haryana, Sunil Grover grew up facing financial struggles. Despite limited resources, he pushed himself academically and earned a master's degree in theatre from Punjab University, Chandigarh. Acting was always his dream, and he eventually moved to Mumbai to make it happen. But the city wasn't easy on him. In his first year, he lived in a posh locality, partied often, and quickly burned through his savings, surviving on just Rs 500 a month. Looking back, the Bharat actor once said he wasn't worried despite the low income because he believed success was just around the corner. But as months went by without stable work, the reality began to weigh on him. It was his father's words — regretting not following his own passion — that pushed Sunil to keep going even when things looked bleak. His fortunes changed when he embraced mimicry and stand-up comedy. Television audiences fell in love with him as the unforgettable 'Gutthi' on Comedy Nights with Kapil. Later, his portrayal of 'Dr. Mashoor Gulati' on The Kapil Sharma Show turned him into a household name. Sunil's comic timing, quirky mannerisms, and ability to slip into characters made him one of the country's most beloved comedians. But Sunil didn't stop at comedy. He explored acting in films and web series, taking on roles in Ghajini, Gabbar Is Back, The Legend of Bhagat Singh, Bharat, and Jawan. The Shah Rukh Khan starrer went on to earn Rs 640.25 crore at the Indian box office and Rs 1160 crore worldwide, cementing Sunil's place in mainstream cinema. Today, with a reported net worth of Rs 21 crore, he continues to entertain audiences on The Great Indian Kapil Show, proving that a dream backed by persistence can rewrite any script.

Ajay Devgn 's 'Son of Sardaar 2' has wrapped up two weeks at the box office with an estimated Rs 45.16 crore India net collection. The film, which opened on a high note with Rs 7.25 crore on its first Friday, gained momentum over its debut weekend, peaking at Rs 9.25 crore on Sunday.

Meet Dilip Kumar's 'grandson', unlucky even after a hit debut, looks as handsome as Dev Anand, is unmarried at 56, he is…
Today, we are going to tell you about a Bollywood actor who dominated the box office with his very first film. With his debut in Bollywood in 1991, he defeated all the superstars of that era. No one could compete with him at the box office. We are talking about actor Vivek Mushran. Who is Vivek Mushran? Vivek Mushran made his Bollywood debut with the 1991 film 'Soudagar'. He became famous overnight with this film. Along with Vivek, this was also the debut film of actress Manisha Koirala. Although this film was based on Dilip Kumar and Raj Kumar, Vivek-Manisha also appeared in lead roles in it. Vivek played the role of Dilip Kumar's grandson in the film 'Soudagar'. After the release of this film, people started seeing the image of Dev Anand in Vivek, because at that time Vivek looked like Dev Anand. Not only this, after seeing Vivek's acting in the film, there was a discussion in the industry that he could become a new superstar of Bollywood in the future. Why did Vivek disappear from films? But, it is said that in everything, along with your hard work, your luck is also necessary, only then you are able to succeed in your work and this did not happen with Vivek. His luck was not with him and due to this the graph of his film career gradually went down. It was not that he did not get films after the film 'Saudagar'. He worked in many films, but he did not get success from any film. When he did not get success in films, he turned to TV, where he was successful in maintaining his identity, but did not achieve any special heights in his career. Where is Vivek Mushran now? Today, Vivek is 56 years old, but he has not married yet. Once in an exclusive conversation with ETimes, Vivek had said, 'I had not thought about marriage. It could have happened, but things did not happen as I had expected, but I have no regrets.' He further said, 'I have been a happy person for a long time, but right now I would love to find a partner. My friends, who are married, think that I am the luckiest and happiest person on earth. Even if I am not married, I definitely feel the need for a partner.' Extending his talk, he had said, 'The last time I was in a relationship was two years ago and since then I have been mostly single. I would love to get married, but for my happiness, not because of social norms. It is never too late, but for me, it is now or never.'
