EXCLUSIVE: Suniel Shetty opens up on close bond with Salman Khan and Jackie Shroff: 'Wo unka badappan hai ki…'
Suniel Shetty calls Jackie Shroff his 'hero', Salman Khan a 'friend'
When the interview mentioned how both Jackie and Salman never shy away from openly mentioning how they used to borrow money and clothes from Suniel Shetty in their initial days, the Hera Pheri 3 actor was quick to interrupt and clarify.
Suniel said, 'Nahi Nahi, Dekho wo stars the aur ek star ka kisi dukan me enter karna hi sau logon se zyada publicity thi. Jackie Dada mere hero the, Salman mera dost tha. Wo unka badappan hai ki wo log aisi baatein karte hain.'
He further went on to add that, 'Yahi dosti hoti hai, this is what a relationship is all about! Salman Khan ka dukaan me aane ka matlab hi ye tha ki yaar hero hai. Hero ban raha hai, Maine Pyaar Kiya kar raha hai. Hum log tabhi post nahi karte the, warna aaj post kar dete h ki wo meri dukaan pe aaya aur fayda utha lete. Hamne wo kabhi socha hi nahi, humein pata hi nahi. Isliye Salman bhi aaj waise hi hai.'

Suniel Shetty highlights Jackie Shroff and Salman Khan will never say no to him
Shetty further underlined that neither Jackie Shroff nor Salman Khan will ever say no to anything he asks. The actor expressed, 'Jackie Dada ko mai phone karun wo kisi cheez ke liye mujhe naa nahi bolenge. Aaj Salman bhi waise hi hai. Anything I ask him, even today I know ki main agar Salman se jaakar kuch bhi kahu…Salman aapko meri film karni hai, wo puchega bhi nahi. He'll do it. Not because Suniel has given me this and that but because of the relationship we share, for the mutual respect that we have for each other and that is it.

Govinda once allegedly quit a blockbuster for Salman Khan, he later repaid the favour by relaunching his career with.. the film was… In the ever-evolving world of showbiz, many actors come with the dream of making it big on the silver screen. But in this unpredictable world of Bollywood, fame is always fleeting. The destiny of any actor changes with every Friday release, depending on how much they have earned at the box office. What's interesting is that sometimes even the superhit stars who have delivered a streak of hits and earned name and fame also fall prey to this uncertainty. The actors that we are talking about are none other than the celebrated celebrities Salman Khan and Govinda. In an industry where competition often overshadows camaraderie, the bond between Salman Khan and Govinda stands out as a rare example of genuine friendship. Delivering several films together, the two appeared in the cult comedy Andaz Apna Apna, although it was just a cameo and didn't feature them in the same scene. Later, they were both seen in Salaam-e-Ishq, but again, their roles didn't intersect on-screen. Finally, both appeared in Partner, and their chemistry was widely hailed and appreciated. The film also turned out to be a superhit. Govinda Had Once Given Up a Hit Film for Salman Interestingly, their chemistry wasn't just limited to on-screen but also known off-screen. Back in 1997, when Govinda was at the peak of his career, he was initially offered the film Judwaa. However, one night at around 2–3 AM, Salman called him and asked, 'How many hits will you keep delivering?' and requested him to let go of Judwaa. Without a second thought, Govinda stepped back and allowed Salman to take the lead role. Later, this film turned out to be a superhit. Salman Returned the Favour After 10 Years Years later, when Govinda's career had hit a rough patch and roles had dried up, Salman came to his rescue. At that time, Salman was delivering hit after hit. When Partner was being planned, Salman personally requested director David Dhawan and producer Sohail Khan (his brother) to cast Govinda alongside him. That decision not only revived Govinda's career but also turned Partner into a blockbuster, proving that good friendships exist even in a competitive world. Salman Khan once also publicly said that Govinda was one of the best actors of his era. Both started their careers around the same time and achieved superstar status. While Govinda has remained away from the limelight for a while, their bond has stood the test of time. And in a world full of fleeting fame, their story reminds us that some friendships truly go beyond the screen.

Rajiv Thakur was removed from The Great Indian Kapil Show? Comedian says, ‘Itne bade show se koi rest nahi leta'
Actor and comedian Kapil Sharma's comedy show The Great Indian Kapil Show returned with Season 3 in June. However, while Krushna Abhishek, Kiku Sharda and Sunil Grover were present on the show, actor and comedian Rajiv Thakur's absence was noticed by viewers. In a recent interview with Pinkvilla, Rajiv finally revealed the reason behind not being a part of Season 3. Rajiv Thakur reveals why he isn't a part of The Great Indian Kapil Show season 3. Rajiv Thakur on his absence from The Great Indian Kapil Show Rajiv spoke about how he has started performing stand-up comedy again after Samay Raina encouraged him to upload one of his comic sets on YouTube, which received a good response. When asked if this was the reason he took a break from the new season of The Great Indian Kapil Show, Rajiv said, "Itne bade show se koi rest nahi leta, obviously aapko nikala gaya hoga (No one takes such a long break from a big show, obviously, you must have been removed)." However, he then laughed it off and said, "Just kidding. Shayad kuch dates match nahi hui kyunki voh beech beech mein bula rahe the. Like ek episode kiya fir dusre ki mere paas date nahi thi. Mereko naa ek hota hai commitment kardi toh uspe rehna hai. Unko bhi time ka bahut chal raha hai ki 55 min ka hi episode banana hai, already Kiku, Krushna aur guest have so much to do fir yahan space bhut kum banti hai aapki (Maybe some dates didn't match because they were calling me in between. I did one episode, but then I didn't have dates for the next. For me, once I've made a commitment, I want to stick to it. They also have a strict time constraint — the episode has to be just 55 minutes. With Kiku, Krushna, and the guest already having so much to do, there's very little space left for you)." Rajiv was a part of Season 1 and Season 2 of The Great Indian Kapil Show. However, he is not part of the current season. The new season welcomed Navjot Singh Sidhu back alongside Archana Puran Singh and introduced a new concept of inviting fans on stage to showcase their talent. The first episode kicked off with Salman Khan as the guest, and the upcoming episode will feature Bollywood actor Parineeti Chopra gracing the couch with her husband and politician Raghav Chadha. Rajiv Thakur's stand-up comedy show Meanwhile, Rajiv has announced the India tour for his stand-up comedy show Gen Z Aur 90s Waale. The actor and comedian will kick off the tour with his first show at Gurgaon's Guftagu Comedy Club on 8 August, followed by Delhi on 9 August, and will conclude the tour in Kanpur on 28 September after performing in cities like Bengaluru, Hyderabad, and Lucknow.
