Aamir Khan breaks silence on naming his dog Shah Rukh Khan: ‘Shayad woh mujhse naakhush the..'
The 60-year-old actor addressed his controversial 'dog' remark on King Khan and called it a 'childish' phase. Aamir said, 'Actually ek period tha jab Shah Rukh aur main ek dusre ke liye kaafi kuch bol rahe the. Shayad woh naakhush the mujhse. (Actually, there was a period when Shah Rukh and I were talking a lot about each other. Maybe he was unhappy with me.)'
When the host quizzed the reason behind SRK being unhappy with Aamir, the actor added, 'Don't know! May be because I don't talk about others in my interviews.'
Aamir Khan calls Shah Rukh Khan a 'good friend'
Furthermore, the Dangal actor mentioned that he and Shah Rukh now share a great bond and called him a 'good friend'. 'Anyway, let's leave all that behind. Shah Rukh is a good friend of mine. When our careers started, there was natural competition between us. But that faded away 10–15 years ago, at least from my side, and I think from his side as well. It was childish behaviour,' Aamir highlighted.
Mr Perfectionist also recalled that Shah Rukh used to make fun of him in award shows. 'Shah Rukh aksar mujhpe mazak karta rehta hain naa har saal jab award function hota hai, main toh jaata nahi hoon. Toh har saal mazak woh mujhpe karte rehte hain (Shah Rukh often jokes about me every year during award functions, since I don't attend them. So every year, he keeps making fun of me.)'
Know the 'Dog controversy' between Aamir Khan and Shah Rukh Khan
For the unversed, Aamir used to write blogs in the 2010s. In one such blog, He wrote, 'Shah Rukh mere talwe chaat raha hai. Mai usse biscuit khila raha hun. Aur kya chahiye mujhe? (Shah Rukh is licking my feet. I am feeding him biscuits. What else do I need?)'
Later, when the actor visited Aap Ki Adalat (India TV), he mentioned that he has a dog named after Shah Rukh Khan. The actor also mentioned that he bought the dog from a Parsi owner who had named it after the Bollywood actor. Though he narrated the story jokingly, it didn't sit well with SRK fans and the actor faced heat for his remark. Aamir also revealed that after realising his mistake, he visited Shah Rukh Khan and apologized to his children - Aryan Khan and Suhana Khan.

Meet Shah Rukh Khan's heroine, who faced rejections for being ‘too good-looking', now runs her own brand worth Rs 1000000000 crore, name is…, net worth is Rs…
Meet Shah Rukh Khan's heroine, who faced rejections for being 'too good-looking', now runs her own brand worth Rs 1000000000 crore, name is..., net worth is Rs... Becoming successful in the industry is not a piece of cake. One has to go through a lot of highs and lows to prove themselves in the competitive entertainment world. One such example is this actress, an outsider, who didn't have an easy start, considering she faced bizarre criticism in her struggling phase. Today, she has become one of the most prominent actresses with a successful skincare brand of her own. The outsider in Bollywood who shattered all odds is Kriti Sanon. The actor, who turned 33 on Sunday, was born and brought up in Delhi and relocated to Mumbai to try her luck in films. She once spoke about her lowest-phase, how she faced a lot of challenges in the aspiring actor phase. HT Digital quoted her, 'There were days when I was annoyed and irritated. On some days, I used to cry, because there was nothing to keep me busy. There were also times when I met a few people who told me that something was not right about me — someone told me, 'You're too good-looking. There has to be some sort of imperfection in you to look real on screen.' I think I did feel low, but at the same time, I did have people who believed in me a lot. That's what you need. I think that gave me a little more confidence.' Kriti Sanon made her Bollywood debut with Tiger Shroff in Heropanti (2014), and went on to star in Rohit Shetty's Dilwale , alongside Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol and Varun Dhawan. Over the years, she starred in multiple box office hits such as Bareilly Ki Barfi, Luka Chuppi, and Housefull 4. In 2021, she earned the prestigious National Film Award for her incredible performance in Mimi. Last year, she shone in her OTT debut Do Patti, starring alongside Kajol and Shaheer Sheikh. Kriti's nuanced portrayal of a character with grey shades earned her critical acclaim. Apart from films, Kriti also ventured into entrepreneurial world. The National-Award winning actress launched her own skin-care brand, Hyphen, in 2023. Being a 'skin care nerd,' she co-founded the beauty brand with PEP Technologies, the company known for famous brand mCaffeine. According to Forbes, Hyphen generated Rs 100 crore revenue in its initial first years, becoming a tough competition to other celebrity brands' like Katrina Kaif's Kay Beauty, Mira Rajput's Akind and others. According to multiple reports, Kriti Sanon purchased a 2,000 sq ft plot in Alibaug last year, as a smart investment in real-estate. She resides in a lavish apartment in Sandhu Palace, located in Mumbai's posh area, Bandra. She reportedly pay monthly rent of Rs 17 lakh, which nearly cost her Rs 2 crore annually. Her estimated net worth according to reports is around Rs 82 crore.

Aamir Khan's film goes pay-per-view on YouTube, gives OTT giants a miss
Mumbai: Aamir Khan Productions has partnered with YouTube to release Sitaare Zameen Par on a pay-per-view basis in a potentially significant move, said people familiar with the development. This marks the first time in recent memory a Hindi film featuring a major star has not been licensed to a dominant subscription video-on-demand ( SVOD ) platform such as Netflix, Prime Video or JioHotstar, opting instead for a pay-per-view strategy via the world's largest video platform. Explore courses from Top Institutes in Please select course: Select a Course Category Technology Artificial Intelligence CXO Project Management Degree healthcare MCA Digital Marketing Public Policy Leadership Design Thinking Operations Management Data Analytics Data Science MBA Finance others Cybersecurity Management PGDM Product Management Healthcare Data Science Others Skills you'll gain: Duration: 12 Weeks MIT xPRO CERT-MIT XPRO Building AI Prod India Starts on undefined Get Details Industry sources say Aamir Khan is tapping into the pay-per-view window, which has been a phenomenon globally but remains underutilised in India. However, they noted that it's still unclear how long he will delay the SVOD release following the pay-per-view window. Aamir Khan Productions and YouTube declined to comment. The film is likely to move to YouTube early next month. While the industry typically follows an eight-week window for streaming on SVOD platforms, Khan recently said that all his films will follow a six-month theatrical run to protect box office revenues. The film was released on June 20 in theatres. "It's a bold move by an A-list star, and all eyes will be on how much the film can earn from pay-per-view, as well as how long Aamir Khan plans to keep it there before releasing it on an SVOD platform," said Shariq Patel, former CEO of Zee Studios. Film is expected to be priced at ₹99. Netflix and Prime Video continue to dominate India's post-theatrical streaming market. According to Media Partners Asia, producers' streaming revenues have grown to 1.5 times their net theatrical share, making it a critical monetisation channel. However, the FICCI-EY 2025 report shows that streaming rights revenue in India fell to ₹3,100 crore, down from ₹3,500 crore in 2023 and ₹3,300 crore in 2022, as platforms cut back on content spending in pursuit of profitability. Still, not everyone sees this as a replicable model. Abundantia Entertainment CEO Vikram Malhotra noted that such an approach may work better for mid-budget films than big-budget ones, which often depend on upfront OTT deals for financial recovery. "Therefore, it's unlikely to serve as a viable financial model across the board, especially for films with higher break-even points. That said, it's an interesting and important experiment whose impact and sustainability will become clearer over time," he said. Suniel Wadhwa, a veteran distributor, cofounder and director of Karmic Films, said: " Film distribution through YouTube may not be remunerative for all actors or producers. It is a long-gestation affair. It will work only for well-established or A-list actors who have a huge or unique following. Besides this, it will be a practical alternative only for producers who have capacity to wait and earn revenues in the long-term." Sitaare Zameen Par is said to have been made on a budget of under ₹100 crore. As an in-house production, Khan has reportedly waived his fee, potentially making the model more viable. The film has collected ₹166.2 crore in India and ₹263.7 crore worldwide, according to box office tracker Sacnilk. Malhotra added that while the pay-per-view model has been tried before, it hasn't gained traction, largely because audiences favour subscription platforms offering a wider content library. Ajay Phutane, a veteran of film distribution and marketing, said digital distribution is becoming increasingly important as theatre footfalls decline post-pandemic. "The fall in theatrical viewership is directly tied to the rise in digital subscribers," he said. "A ₹99 pay-per-view release on YouTube is a significant step, especially given its vast reach. With many single screens shut and limited theatres in tier 2 and tier 3 cities, YouTube offers a more economical and convenient alternative as viewers can watch at their own time, place, and pace."
