India Today21-06-2025
Actor Randeep Hooda recalled that he was given a bowl to pee during his traditional wedding ceremony with Lin Laishram in 2023. He also shared he got married in a 'civil war-like situation'.In an interview with Mid-Day, the 48-year-old said, "It was a big thing where people said I wasn't getting married to a Jatt girl. My marriage itself was a big drama since there was a problem going on in Manipur, and we were thinking of getting married."advertisementHowever, he said he was adamant that he would get married there as, 'Ladki ke ghar jaake shaadi nahi ki toh kya shaadi hui (Is it even a marriage if you don't get married at the girl's house)?"
The actor shared how a friend who was a brigadier with the Assam Rifles helped him. "I called him, and he said, 'Come, I'll get you married.' So 10-12 of us went there, and we had never been there. We had no idea about their ceremonies," Randeep said.Even though Lin tried to show him videos, he only pretended to watch them as he was busy editing 'Savarkar' at that time.He recalled having pure vegetarian food when they reached her house and worshipping all their gods before getting married. He further commented that his friends also joked about whether he had brought them to a wedding or a sacred pilgrimage.advertisementRandeep then spoke about how he was supposed to behave in a dignified manner during the ceremony and recalled the bowl incident.He said, "I had a helper with me, more like a tutor. So once the groom puts his thing on his head, you can't tilt your head. You go to the ceremony, and they give you a bowl and an umbrella. They then put you in a holding area where everyone is supposed to come and look at you, and you are supposed to look very dignified."Watch their wedding video here: "I asked what the bowl was for, and he said if you need to pee, you just open the umbrella and pee over there, you cannot move out of there because you are god," he added. Randeep said, "Haryanvi (culture) is rough and crass, theirs was so systematic and elegant.'The actor concluded that hundreds of AK-47s went off in the air as soon as the pheras finished since there was a civil war going on.On the professional front, Hooda was last seen in 'Jaat'. It is currently streaming on Netflix.Must Watch

Quoting an insider, the report stated that the King team has paused the shooting as the 59-year-old superstar requires some rest for a couple of weeks before he can face the camera again.

Sitaare Zameen Par: Aamir Khan announces big price drop for film on YouTube for this Independence Day weekend

Aamir Khan has an Independence Day gift for his fans—he is making his latest film, Sitaare Zameen Par, more affordable for viewers. The actor has announced a special limited-time offer, slashing the film's YouTube rental price from ₹100 to just ₹50. Aamir Khan reveals his unconventional distribution method for Sitaare Zameen Par, aiming to reach more viewers via YouTube. (PTI) Aamir slashes SZP rent for I-Day weekend Unlike many filmmakers, Aamir chose to skip the traditional OTT route for Sitaare Zameen Par, opting instead for a pay-per-view model via YouTube. His decision to bypass streaming platforms was aimed at encouraging more people to experience the film in theatres, a move that has divided fans but has been praised by film exhibitors. Sitaare Zameen Par is available on YouTube on a pay-per-view model, instead of releasing on any streaming platform after ending its theatrical run. It became available on YouTube after its June theatrical release for ₹100 per rental. Now, in a bid to make the film even more accessible, Aamir has halved that price. In a video shared with fans, he encouraged viewers to watch the film with their families this Independence Day weekend. The caption read: 'This Independence Day weekend, watch Sitaare Zameen Par on YouTube for only ₹50.' Why did Aamir choose for pay-per-view model Speaking to ETimes, Aamir explained his unconventional distribution strategy: 'We are able to reach only 2-3% of our population in the theatrical business, even with the biggest hits. For a film like Sitaare Zameen Par, around one crore people would have seen it during its theatrical run. Given the lack of sufficient theatres, this digital model is perhaps the only way to connect with a wider audience, especially with rising internet penetration.' About Sitaare Zameen Par Directed by RS Prasanna, Sitaare Zameen Par is a heartwarming and uplifting story that follows Gulshan Arora (played by Aamir Khan), a fiery basketball coach who is assigned to train a team of adults with intellectual disabilities. What starts as a punishment soon becomes a transformative journey of empathy, connection, and growth. Touted as a spiritual successor to Aamir's 2007 classic Taare Zameen Par, this new film retains a similar emotional depth and inclusive spirit. It is also the official Hindi adaptation of the acclaimed Spanish film Campeones. The film grossed an impressive ₹263.42 crore globally, making it one of the top-grossing Hindi films of 2025
