When Akshaye Khanna said he's looking forward to finding a right partner but not mentally ready for marriage: ‘I have never received this feeling from anyone'
Akshaye Khanna
has chosen to not marry and the actor has always been very vocal about his opinions on it. In an old interview, the actor had once mentioned how he is looking forward to finding a right partner, but so far he has never met anyone who gives him that feeling that he wants to spend the rest of his life with someone.
When he was asked about why he hasn't yet got married, he had said in an interview with Anuradha Prasad, 'Life partner milna toh chahiye. You need to find the right girl for yourself before deciding to get married. It is wrong to marry for the sake of it, thinking family is putting pressure on you and you did it. That's wrong.'
He added, 'I don't have anything specific that I need in my partner. When you fall in love, you fall in love with the totality of the person. It can't be one reason. I have never received this feeling from anyone who would make me want to spend the rest of my life with her. It has not happened yet.'
Akshaye did seem hopeful to find his lady love though. 'I am hoping it will happen one day,' he said. But he also added that he's not mentally prepared to get married. 'I don't think I am mentally prepared for it. Neither do I know if I can do the adjustment. But, I guess when a person falls in love, they can do it. I will never settle for an arranged marriage. It has to be love. I will be able to do all the compromises that people usually do in a
marriage
is only when I am madly in love with that person. Otherwise, it won't be possible at all.'

This was a while ago. In a more recent interview, it seemed like the 'Taal' actor has completely dropped the idea of getting married. He said during a chat with Hindustan Times, 'I don't see myself getting married. I am not marriage material. I am not cut out for that kind of life. It is a
commitment
, but a drastic lifestyle change. Marriage changes everything. I want full control over my life. When you share your life with somebody else, you can't have full control. You have to give a lot of control away. You share each other's lives. I am not willing to give up. I don't think even in the future I will be willing to do that.'

'Shabana and I have been sleeping on the streets,' says Javed Akhtar REACTING to Pakistani actress Bushra Ansari who said he should keep quiet like Naseeruddin Shah
When there was a terrorist attack in Pahalgam on April 22, Javed Akhtar had displayed patriotism as he said an an event, 'Yeh baat humein bhulni nahi chahiye, yeh mamooli baat nahi hai. (We shouldn't forget this).' He had spoken against Pakistan at Gauravshaali Maharashtra Mahotsav. However, Pakistani actress Bushra Ansari had reacted to him and said that he should keep quiet like Naseeruddin Shah . She had shared a video on social media in which she said, "Humare writer so-called, unko toh bahana hi chahiye tha. Actually, unko toh makaan kiraaye pe nahi milta tha Bombay mein (Our so called writer is even refused a flat in Mumbai).' She added, 'Chaloji chup karjaaye aap. Naseeruddin Shah bhi toh hai, who chup baithe hai na? Aur bhi toh chup baithe hai na? Jiske dil mein jo hai who rakkha rahe. (Please stay quiet just like Naseeruddin Shah. Others are also quiet, you too be quiet please).' She had also said that Akhtar should keep quiet as he's on the verge of dying now. Javed Akhtar has finally reacted to this video of Bushra. He said in an interview with Lallantop, 'There is this Pakistani actress, Bushra Ansari, she often talks about me. She once advised me to keep quiet. She said something like, 'Naseeruddin Shah stays quiet, you should too.' My question to her is: 'Who is she to tell me when to talk and when not to? Who gave you this right and why do you expect me to take your advise?'' When the interviewer further asked him that Bushra had said that Akhtar didn't get a house in Mumbai, he said, "We internally might have several problems (referring to India), but if an outsider comes to comment, I am an Indian. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với mức chênh lệch giá thấp nhất IC Markets Đăng ký Undo Why do they forget that? I won't keep quiet.' When the interviewer said the the actress claimed that he doesn't even get a house on rent in Mumbai, Javed sarcastically replied, 'Yes right, Shabana and I have been sleeping on the streets lately. Kya yaar, ab kya bole?' He laughed and said. Akhtar further recalled what had happened and said, 'About 25 years ago, Shabana wanted to buy a flat for investment purpose. But the broker said that the owner will not sell his house to a Muslim. But, do you know why he refused? He refused it because his parents stayed in Sindh from where these Pakistanis shooed them away. Anyone with a wound that big and deep, will react the way the owner reacted. If that day, Shabana was refused a flat, it was not because she was a Muslim, but it was because the owner was displacing his revenge someplace else for what his parents went through. So who is she (Bushra Ansari) to take a dig at this, and ask me to keep quiet? They must look into their own doings before commenting.'

Archana Puran Singh talks about how being called 'fat' in childhood impacted her deeply; 'Even when I had 26 inches waist, I kept feeling that I am fat'
Archana Puran Singh and Parmeet Sethi invited Anshula Kapoor to their newest vlog. They commended her on her fitness efforts and then took her to a Mumbai restaurant for buttery Karnataka-style dosas. Archana and Parmeet have been exploring Mumbai's top culinary spots, but in their most recent video, they went to play pickleball with Anshula and then grabbed a bite to eat. They were accompanied, as usual, by their sons, Aayushmaan and Aaryamann. The video began on the pickleball court, when Parmeet and Anshula played a match against Aayushmaan and Aaryamann. Archana sat by the court, with a portable fan for companionship. She told the crowd that Anshula's fitness journey has significantly inspired her, and that she follows her Instagram stories. As they ate their dosas after the match, Archana enquired whether she had ever been pressured to enter the film industry. Anshula stated that she did not, and neither did other members of her family. "All your siblings are actors; Khushi, Janhvi…" Parmeet said, "Arjun!" As everyone chuckled at Parmeet's remark, Archana assured him that she was on her way. Archana was curious to learn more about Anshula's fitness journey, and she opened up about the insecurities she had and still faces, despite her accomplishments. "I've always been a big girl with a large body type. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like ¡Trading con IA en Chile ayuda a usuarios a obtener ganancias potenciales! Mainhubfb Más información Undo But it wasn't until later that I realised I had hormonal difficulties and PCOS. I have a better knowledge of what my internal body looks like. But I couldn't locate anyone in India I could relate to on Instagram, especially individuals who looked like me. "I had to order my clothes especially," she explained, and Archana agreed. The performer claimed that as a child, she was called 'moti (fat)', which had an affect on her mentally. She further said, 'It impacted me so much that even when I had 26 inches waist, I kept feeling that I was fat.' Anshula further quipped, "I can't take compliments. Physical compliments are a whole different story; they bounce off me. But even if you compliment me on anything else, like something I said or the way I think, an inner voice will say, 'They're lying'. Now it's better, but it's always difficult to change your default setting. But then you have to tell yourself, 'Believe it because you're working on yourself." They did, however, have some amusing moments. Anshula had her first taste of Parmeet's PJs, and when he added that certain meals are 'benne-ficial' - a reference to the type of dosas they were eating, as well as the name of the restaurant - the entire table grimaced. "I don't think I can be on your team anymore, sir," Anshula explained. She also termed him 'overacting ki dukaan' as Parmeet stared into the camera and stated that he would order last. "None of us have ordered yet," she yelled.

Amid Deepika Padukone vs Sandeep Vanga fallout, Kajol and Ajay Devgn weigh in on 8-hour workday in Bollywood
The glitz of Bollywood often hides the grind behind the scenes. This time, it's about working mothers, humane schedules, and whether the film industry is ready to evolve. The spark? A fallout between Deepika Padukone and director Sandeep Reddy Vanga , reportedly over the actress's request for an 8-hour workday during her motherhood journey. Now, with Kajol and Ajay Devgn promoting their new film Maa, the couple has weighed in, offering a more balanced perspective on the matter. At the trailer launch of Maa, when asked whether it's fair for a mother to ask for shorter working hours, Kajol welcomed the idea and said that she loved the fact that one can work less. But before she could complete her sentence, Ajay Devgn interrupted her. He first apologised for interrupting and then shared his thoughts about it. Ajay offered a nuanced response, noting that the industry is slowly becoming more accommodating. He shared that the film industry is gradually becoming more understanding of such requests. He believes that many people within the industry are open to the idea of shorter workdays, especially for working mothers. According to him, an 8 to 9-hour shift is reasonable and increasingly accepted. He added that while the response may vary from person to person, the broader industry is now more supportive of such changes. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Linda Kozlowski, 67, Shows Off Her Perfect Figure In A New Photo Today's NYC Undo — AwaaraHoon (@AwaaraHoon) Deepika Padukone vs Sandeep Reddy Vanga The conversation comes amid the much-discussed Spirit controversy. Deepika was initially set to star opposite Prabhas in Vanga's film, but walked out of the project. While earlier reports pointed to remuneration issues, later updates suggested that her decision stemmed from unmet requests around work hours and other on-set considerations, especially significant in light of her recent pregnancy announcement. What followed was a dramatic statement from Sandeep Reddy Vanga himself. In a cryptic but pointed post on X, the Kabir Singh director didn't name Deepika, but heavily implied betrayal. He talked about 'unsaid NDA' and accused the actress of 'putting down a younger actor'. The post ended with a Hindi proverb: 'Khundak mein billi khamba noche'—roughly translating to "A cat scratches the pole in frustration."
