Paresh Rawal Says Aamir Khan Is Detailed, Salman Khan Is 'Hawa Ka Jhoka': 'Pata Nahi Chalta…'
Paresh Rawal, who has acted alongside nearly every major star in Bollywood, recently shared his perspective on the very different ways Aamir Khan and Salman Khan work on set. In a recent interview, the veteran actor opened up about what it's really like to share screen with both superstars.
Chatting with Bollywood Bubble, Paresh praised Salman for his ease and natural presence in front of the camera.
'Salman understands a scene on a gut level. He is such a charming fellow. On screen, he is magic. When he comes on set, he doesn't have to work too hard. He just flows with it."
He then explained how Aamir's approach is more calculated and deeply involved, often requiring more time to get into character.
'Aamir has to work around and know things in depth and detail. That is why Aamir sahab thoda time lete hai. Meanwhile, Salman is hawa ka jhoka, kab aaya, udake ke le gaya, pata bhi nahi chalta."
Paresh, who's been part of several films with both stars, noted that each actor's method works for them, even if their processes are entirely opposite.
As of now, Paresh Rawal is keeping busy with a string of new projects. He'll be seen next in Nikita Roy, a thriller also starring Sonakshi Sinha, set to hit theatres on 18 July.
Earlier this year, fans were disappointed when Paresh Rawal revealed he wouldn't be reprising his iconic role as Baburao Ganpatrao Apte, citing personal reasons and creative disagreements. Following his exit, Akshay Kumar reportedly issued a legal notice, concerned about delays in the production schedule. However, it has now been resolved. During a recent podcast with Himanshu Mehta, Paresh confirmed his return, saying, 'The film was going to happen anyway; we just needed a bit of fine-tuning. After all, everyone involved, Priyadarshan, Akshay, Suniel, we've been friends for so many years. It was just a matter of realigning." Directed by Priyadarshan, the film is expected to start shooting in early 2026.
He's also part of Welcome To The Jungle, an action-comedy headlined by Akshay Kumar, which is expected to resume production in mid-2025. Another upcoming film on Paresh's plate is Bhooth Bangla, a horror comedy that reunites him with Akshay and Tabu, directed by Priyadarshan.

Suniel Shetty On Salman Khan, Jackie Shroff: ‘They'd Do My Film Without Asking Why'
Last Updated: Suniel Shetty says Jackie Shroff and Salman Khan are still just a call away, not out of obligation, but their deep-rooted brotherhood. Suniel Shetty has always been admired for his humility and loyalty, and in a recent interview with Pinkvilla, he opened up about his decades-long bond with Salman Khan and Jackie Shroff. These iconic Bollywood friendships, rooted in trust and mutual respect, have stood the test of time. Recalling the early days, Suniel said, 'They were already stars. Just them walking into my shop was a big deal. It was huge publicity for me, but that's not why they came. Jackie Shroff is my hero, and Salman Khan is my friend. It's their humility that they talk about these things in public. That just shows the bond we share." Suniel stressed that their relationships were never transactional. 'Even today, Jackie is just a phone call away. Same with Salman. If I call and ask him to be in a film, he won't even ask why. Not because I helped them back then, but because that's the kind of respect and brotherhood we have always had." Their heartwarming history was revisited during a Kaun Banega Crorepati special episode in 2021, where both Suniel and Jackie appeared together. Suniel fondly reminisced, 'We've been friends for 45 years. We first met at places like Pastry Palace, Wonderworld, and Scandal Point—hangout spots for jobless guys like us. Jackie says I always kept clothes ready for him, but he always paid. Still, he would sit outside my shop just to make it look popular. That's the kind of friend he is." Jackie also recalled a deeply emotional moment. 'My father had a severe reaction to penicillin… Suniel offered his own house without a second thought. I stayed there with my father for 10–15 days." Salman Khan once shared a touching memory at IIFA 2022: 'I didn't have enough money to shop. I went to Suniel's store and had my eyes on a stone-wash shirt and a wallet. He saw me struggling and just gifted both to me. That stayed with me forever." First Published: July 25, 2025, 23:45 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

KL Rahul Missing Daughter, Gets Emotional On Air: 'Was Really Hard To Come Here'
Last Updated: KL Rahul got emotional on camera while speaking about his daughter Evaarah and missing his father duties for the India-England series. Senior India batter KL Rahul got emotional on air while speaking about his newborn daughter, Evaarah, on Friday (July 25) on the sidelines of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy. Evaarah was born on March 24, when Rahul was on leave during IPL 2025, but he rejoined Delhi Capitals only two days later and then came to England in early June, just days after the tournament was concluded. He has enjoyed a good run in the five-Test series, scoring 421 runs, including two centuries, at an average of 60.14. However, off the field, staying in England without his wife, actress Athiya Shetty, and young family hasn't been easy. He said joining the India 'A' squad for a tour game against England Lions before the Test series was a difficult decision to make, too. 'Yeah, it's a great time in my life for my family," Rahul told former teammate Cheteshwar Pujara on the Sony Sports broadcast. 'I've always loved children. I've always wanted children for a long time. So, made me and my family really really happy. We're in a great place. She's a beautiful little girl. It's brought so much happiness into our lives," he added. 'I have done a little bit (father duties), but unfortunately, two days after she was born, I had to go play the IPL game. And I tried in whatever breaks we got during the IPL to go back for a couple of days and then finish the IPL. It was really hard to take that decision to come here and play that India A game as well because I had not spent any time with her and I knew when I came here, I won't see her for another two months," Rahul said. The tour concludes on August 4 after the final Test and as of now, there's nothing scheduled for India in the month. Rahul said that he's always on the 'baby camera' watching his daughter and is glad to have the support of his family in this time. 'There were some really hard decisions that I've had to make in the last few months. But yeah, I thought that that was the right thing to do for me professionally and my family's been really supportive. My wife was very supportive. So, I came here. So, I haven't seen her and I just keep seeing her pictures and I'm always on the baby camera. Making sure I don't miss anything or any part of her growth. So, it's a difficult thing to do when you're traveling and playing and you miss each day," he said. India are traling the five-Test series 2-1 and are in a precarious position in the fourth Test with England leading by 186 runs at the end of the third day at Old Trafford. view comments First Published: July 25, 2025, 23:41 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Is Taylor Swift Engaged? Fans Spot Her Flaunting Ring On Travis Kelce's Phone Wallpaper
Last Updated: Taylor Swift fans think she's engaged after spotting a ring on Kelce's phone wallpaper in his new Instagram dump. Is Taylor Swift engaged? That's the burning question Swifties are asking after eagle-eyed fans spotted something very interesting in Travis Kelce's latest Instagram post. The NFL star shared a photo dump on July 24, and while the loved-up pics of him and Taylor were sweet, one image in particular has everyone talking. In one photo taken at a restaurant, both Swift and Kelce's phones are visible on the table and their lock screens feature never-before-seen pictures of them together. But what truly set off engagement rumours was the wallpaper on Kelce's phone, which appears to show Taylor flashing a ring on her left hand. Swifties were quick to connect the dots, wondering if the couple had secretly gotten engaged. 'That looks like an engagement ring," one user wrote on Reddit. 'Did we just soft-launch an engagement?" another chimed in. While fans were buzzing, others noted the image on Kelce's phone seems to be from Swift's July 6 Eras Tour stop in Amsterdam, which Kelce attended. In the snap, Swift is seen in a bodysuit, while Kelce is in a white top—matching paparazzi photos from the concert night. Whether the ring is a prop, a trick of the light, or a real diamond sparkler remains unclear. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Travis Kelce (@killatrav) The photo dump was the first time Kelce posted Taylor on his grid since the two began dating in September 2023. From snowy cuddles and boat rides to matching hats that read 'Captain" and 'First Mate," the photos gave a rare peek into their off-season adventures—Lake Como, Montana, and even an ice rink moment made the cut. Kelce captioned the post: 'Had some adventures this offseason, kept it 💯." Fans also spotted Swift's friend Este Haim and Kelce's close pal Ross Travis tagged in the photos. One cave snap, a snow-filled group cuddle, and Swift lifting her arms gleefully in the snow added to the montage's cozy, couple-goals vibe. While there's no official confirmation of an engagement yet, the buzz is louder than ever. Until Taylor or Travis confirm anything, fans will keep sleuthing and speculating.
