They have to put that aside and work together to save people,' he said.Episode 17 is expected to introduce a 'mass casualty event' that challenges the emotional limits of the 118 team, while also showcasing their unwavering commitment to public safety.The episodes following Bobby's death are designed to allow the characters — and the audience — the necessary space to grieve.The promo teases further conversations among the crew, with moments between Athena and Karen (Tracie Thoms), Hen and Eddie (Ryan Guzman), hinting at deeper character development amid the unfolding disaster.While fans eagerly speculate who might ultimately take command of the 118, the immediate concern is how the team will navigate a city literally catching fire.The blend of large-scale emergencies with intimate personal moments remains the hallmark of 9-1-1, and this penultimate episode promises to deliver both.9-1-1 airs Thursdays at 8/7c on ABC.

'Blouse tight silna...': Hema Malini demanded this during Baghban to enhance chemistry with Amitabh Bachchan, said 'that touch...'
The audience thoroughly enjoyed the on-screen chemistry between Amitabh Bachchan and Hema Malini in Baghban. Their powerful performances earned widespread praise, and the duo was honoured with the Screen Award for Jodi No. 1. Both Bachchan and Malini also received nominations for Best Actor and Best Actress at the 49th Filmfare Awards. Both actors brought life to their characters in this film. Released in 2003, Hema and Amitabh played the role of parents of four children. Amitabh Bachchan's character was Raj Malhotra, and Hema played the role of Pooja Malhotra. Filmmaker Ravi Chopra's wife, Renu Chopra, recently shared an anecdote. She said that Hema was wholeheartedly attached to the project and was completely immersed in the character of Pooja. She even improvised in many scenes. In a recent interview with Pinkvilla, Renuka spoke about various aspects of the film. She also revealed how Hema Malini requested to have her blouse stitched much tighter than usual. Renuka explained that in one of the scenes where Amitabh Bachchan had to fasten Hema's blouse, the veteran actress wanted a certain look on her face to deliver the best emotional impact. During the conversation, Renuka said, 'There was a scene where she was getting ready, standing in front of a mirror. At that time, Raj comes from behind and, upon seeing her, says, 'Wow.' Hema asked me to stitch her blouse a bit tighter so that when Amit ji comes, he can fasten it tightly. She said, 'That touch would give me the look I want'—one that conveyed, 'He's touched me. After so many years of being married, it meant so much.' She is a very romantic person in real life.' Let us tell you, Pooja Malhotra's role was first offered to Tabu, but she refused because she was only 36 years old at that time and did not want to play the role of a mother of 4 children. Later, she worked with Amitabh Bachchan in 'Cheeni Kum'. Baghban also had a cameo by Salman Khan and Mahima Chaudhary. Salman's role was added especially for distributors so that the film could find a buyer. The film had a slow start, but word of mouth publicity changed its fortunes, and it became a superhit. The movie, made in Rs 10 crore, earned Rs 43.11 crore.

Sunita Ahuja reveals Govinda wanted physique like Sylvester Stallone: 'Tu mujhe paisa nahi de raha hai ki main teri...'
Superstar Govinda is widely recognised for his performance in the 90s comedy movies. He has been married to Sunita Ahuja for more than 30 years. Like every other time, Sunita has again hit the headlines due to her bold confessions and unapologetic attitude. In a recent interview with Instant Bollywood, Sunita revealed the sole reason behind her fights with husband Govinda. She pointed out how people around him intentionally don't let him realize his worth. She stressed that Govinda not working is the only reason why she engages in a fight with him. "Main usko bolti hu, tu kaam kar. Public tujhe miss kar rhi hai. Main bolti hun tu weight lose kar kam se kam 20 kgs. Usne mujhe 6-7 saal pehle bola tha ke main Sylvester Stallone banke dikhaunga, kyunki he is one of my favourite actor. Maine kaha woh is janam mein toh hone nahi wala, agle janam mein tu mujhe pati ke roop mein nahi, bete ke roop mein chahiye," said Sunita. "(I tell him to work. The audience is missing you. I also ask him to lose weight, at least 20 kilos. He told me 6-7 years ago that he would lose weight and become like Sylvester Stallone because he's one of my favourite actors. I told him, that's not going to happen in this life. In the next life, I don't want you as a husband but as a son)." Sunita Ahuja went on to add that Govinda has been wasting his time because of the people around him. Blaming his social circle, she highlighted that these people misguide him as they benefit from the Partner actor. Furthermore, Ahuja mentioned that she advises him to choose directors wisely to match the contemporary cinema standards. The 50-year-old admitted that Govinda is living in the 90s era which is why his comeback is still awaited. In the same interview, Sunita remarked how the Hero No. 1 actor gets angry because of her honest criticism. "Tu mujhe paisa nahi de raha hai ki main teri chamchagiri karu. Main idhar kisi ke baap ki chamchagiri karne nahi baithi (You are not giving me money to flatter you. I am not sitting here to flatter anyone's father)", concluded Govinda's wife.
