Mika Singh says Salman Khan treats him like an equal after 2 drinks: ‘But apko pata rehna chaiye ki woh Salman hai'
Singer Mika Singh has given many superhit songs for Salman Khan, like Jumme Ki Raat, and Aaj Ki Party to name a few. The singer opened up about the bond he shares with the superstar in a podcast interaction with Shubhankar Mishra on his YouTube channel. Mika shared that he has known Salman for years and he has been extremely supportive and warm to him. (Also read: Mika Singh removed Katrina Kaif's name from a song on Salman Khan's request?

During the interaction, Mika said, 'Mujhe jab bhi mauka milta hain Salman Khan bhai se milne ka, toh woh bohot open ho jaate hain. Do drink ke baad woh aisa karte hain jaisa main unka bada bhai hoon. Ya shayad main Salman Khan sir ke level ka hoon. Woh aisa realise karate hain. Lekin aapko pata hona chahiye, chahe woh 2 peg ho ya 4 peg, ki woh Salman Khan hain! Toh agar apko ye pata rahega toh aap kabhi maar nahi khaoge (Whenever I get the chance to meet him, he becomes very open. After two drinks he treats me like I am his elder brother or that both of us are equals. He makes it so comfortable. But one should remember that he is Salman Khan. If one knows this, then they are saved).'
He went on to add how he had met the star first during the shoot of Janam Samjha Karo, and said, 'Mujhe itni akal nahi thi ki main jaake unke paao paru aur bolu ki, 'Sir, mujhe aap ke saath ek gaana karna hain.' Woh bade pyaar se shoot dekhte rahe aur thode time baad unhone humare saath chai bhi peeyi. Itni akal nahi thi ki contacts le lein (I was so foolish back then, to not have approached him and asked for his contact. I should have told that I want to sing a song for him. He saw the shoot and had tea with us later).'
Mika shared how Salman must have thought he was such a cartoon back then after he sang a song in front of him.
On the work front, Salman was recently seen in the Eid release Sikandar. The film was directed by AR Murugadoss and also starred Rashmika Mandanna.

Exclusive - Worship Khanna: Bigg Boss often plays with your mental state, your emotions; Shehnaaz Gill is my all time favourite contestant
Pati Brahmachari actor Worship Khanna has never shied away from voicing his opinions, and when it comes to a show as layered as Bigg Boss, he offers an insight from both a viewer's lens and a potential participant's mind. He believes the emotional highs and lows that often become the high points of the show are orchestrated to gain more viewership. 'This show is all about emotions and personality inside the house, not the outside world. Bigg Boss often plays with your mental state and your emotions, and honestly, I don't think there's anything wrong with that. We all carry so many emotions inside us. Some of us express them, and some of us suppress them. This show puts you in a situation where you start to discover how much self-control you really have and how much you can handle,' he said. While he acknowledges that the show introduces emotional triggers, like bringing in a family member or sending a letter, he doesn't call it manipulation but rather a true test of strength. He added, 'It also adds to the TRP. But I find all of this very interesting, to be honest. The whole game is actually about mental strength—how strong you are emotionally and mentally.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Dermatologist: This Household Item Is Like Bleach On Dark Spots Dark Spot Corrector Undo When asked if he'd ever call out biased behavior by host Salman Khan , the young actor is firm in his stance; however, he was quick to mention that he has never personally found the superstar host to be biased. He said, 'If he were really biased, Shehnaaz Gill wouldn't have become Shehnaaz Gill. Some people might feel that he is softer or more polite with certain contestants, especially senior actors, and they think that's biased. But I don't think that's biased. That's respect. Salman Khan has been in the industry for so many years, and when you've seen someone's work or know them personally, you naturally have a certain amount of respect for them.' 'So when they do something wrong, you might not confront them with the same intensity as you would do to a stranger. That's just human nature. Even Salman Khan is human. He's also a part of the game. If someone feels he's being biased, maybe it's just the way he's treating people with seniority or past connections, not actual unfairness,' he added. Worship also didn't hold back when asked whether some past winners deserved the title. He feels that in recent years, influencers and social media personalities have won due to their massive online following. He feels that is not fair and added, 'The show wasn't created for that. So in my personal opinion, they shouldn't have won the trophy. That said, at the end of the day, it's the public who decides the winner, and I fully respect the audience's decision. If the public gives them the trophy, we accept it.' He further said, 'But the problem is that people forget what this show is truly about. I keep saying this: Bigg Boss is not about how famous you are. This show is about your real personality and how you react in real-life emotional moments like anger, sadness, happiness, fights, breakdowns, or during tasks. It's about how you express yourself, what stand you take in difficult situations, and how truthful you are to yourself and others. ' When it comes to his all-time favorite contestant, Worship took Shehnaaz Gill's without hesitation. She wasn't someone he knew before the show, but her unfiltered charm, relatability, and sheer honesty won him over. He said, 'She came into a house filled with glamorous girls, zero-figure bodies, and well-known personalities, yet she managed to grab all the attention. She wasn't trying too hard. She was just herself—raw, unfiltered, and honest. I became a fan of her because of her cuteness, honesty, and how real she was. When she wanted to laugh, she laughed freely. That's exactly what I loved about her: she didn't try to create a fake image.' 'She was just being Shehnaaz. And honestly, that's the best way to play this game. And look at where she is today! I believe that out of all the Bigg Boss contestants, even the winners, no one has made better use of the Bigg Boss fame than Shehnaaz Gill,' he concluded. #ShehnaazGill On The RAMP At BTFW 2023 | #shorts

Aamir Khan says ‘no idea' if Sitaare Zameen Par will work at box office: I'm stressed only action films are working
Actor Aamir Khan is all set to entertain audiences with his upcoming sports comedy-drama Sitaare Zameen Par. However, in an interview with Galatta Plus, Aamir expressed that while he believes the film tells a heartwarming and beautiful story, he is unsure about its fate at the box office. (Also Read: Ranbir Kapoor poses with Sitaare Zameen Par cast as Aamir Khan hosts musical night at home, Sachin Tendulkar attends too) When asked about his instincts for Sitaare Zameen Par, Aamir said, 'When I look at the film today, I think I am quite happy with it. I think what we set out to make, we have made. Will it work at the box office? I have no idea. The fact of the matter is, throughout my career, whenever my film is released, I suddenly become aware. My film is a comedy, but right now only the action is working. When Ghajini came, my film was action, but action wasn't working then. Nobody wants to see action." He added, "My film always releases at a time when it's completely ill-timed. When my comedy film comes out time action films are working. So I am constantly stressed that I don't know right now everyone wants to see action. The last 12 films have been action and blockbusters. So while I believe that it's a very heartwarming and beautiful story which will connect very deeply with people, that's what I am hoping. But right now everyone wants to see action films." He further added that the film will only be released in theatres and not on any other OTT platform. He dismissed reports of the film releasing on YouTube. Aamir Khan Productions presents ten debutants—Aroush Datta, Gopi Krishna Varma, Samvit Desai, Vedant Sharma, Ayush Bhansali, Ashish Pendse, Rishi Shahani, Rishabh Jain, Naman Mishra, and Simran Mangeshkar—in Sitaare Zameen Par. Directed by R. S. Prasanna and produced under the banner of Aamir Khan Productions, the film stars Aamir Khan and Genelia Deshmukh in lead roles alongside the ten debutants. The lyrics are penned by Amitabh Bhattacharya, and the music is composed by Shankar–Ehsaan–Loy. The film is set to be released exclusively in theatres on June 20 2025.
