The students present there were impressed by Shashi Kapoor's performance on stage. He was an actor who was every girl's favourite.' Zeenat said that she tried very hard to get a glimpse of Shashi Kapoor. She said, 'I was lucky that Shashi lived in South Bombay, which was not very far from my house. Now neighbors talk, and soon the news spread that Shashi Kapoor goes out for a walk every evening at sharp 6 o'clock, then my friends and I used to try to get a glimpse of him on the pretext of 'fresh air' during the winter vacation. Of course, all we wanted was to get a glimpse of that film star!' When Zeenat worked with Shashi in films, she found him to be a cheerful and intelligent person.

Tyreek Hill's intense training of son raises eyebrows amid history of domestic violence claims
Tyreek Hill, amidst personal challenges including a recent divorce filing, is emphasizing hard work and dedication to his son Zev (Imagn Images) Miami Dolphins' Tyreek Hill, famously dubbed 'Cheetah' for his unmatched speed, is showing fans that his impact goes far beyond touchdowns and highlight reels. In a deeply personal and emotionally charged moment, Hill took to Instagram ahead of his son Zev's track meet, delivering not just support, but a clear, powerful life lesson that spoke volumes about his evolving identity—as a father, a mentor, and a man determined to break cycles. Tyreek Hill pushes son to greatness while battling personal turmoil with powerful life message Tyreek Hill's intense training session with his young son has ignited a firestorm, as fans question his parenting approach amid a storm of past abuse allegations and a fresh divorce battle. 'This is what it's all about. Big Day tomorrow. Race Day, for my lil boy,' Hill wrote. In a world where celebrity fatherhood is often curated for likes, Hill didn't shy away from showing the tougher side of parenting. 'Gotta be hard on my son this week... We don't expect nothing but greatness in the Hill family.' The training video that followed wasn't just a motivational snippet—it was a window into a philosophy born from hardship. Hill's childhood was marked by challenges and strict parenting. Now, despite his fame and wealth, he is choosing to replicate the demanding but purpose-driven style of his own upbringing. 'You want success? You gotta work hard for it,' he told Zev. 'It may not be for the sports world... Lawyer, Doctor, Teacher. You gotta work hard, you gotta embrace it. Or a football coach.' Zev's reply? 'I wanna be a football coach.' Hill's delighted response: 'There you go... You gotta tell your players to work hard. You gotta push them.' Trying to turn pain into purpose in the midst of personal challenges What makes this moment particularly poignant is the backdrop. Hill's personal life is currently under intense scrutiny. In April, his wife Keeta Vaccaro filed for divorce following a reported domestic dispute. Though no arrests were made and details remain sealed, it added to a history of controversies surrounding Hill. But rather than retreat or spiral, Hill appears committed to showing up for his kids. He shares twins and Zev with his ex-fiancée Crystal Espinal, and a daughter, Capri, with Keeta. His message, even amid chaos, is consistent: resilience, hard work, and emotional investment in the next generation. Also Read: Lamar Jackson tried acting and was blown away by how hard filming a single scene really is: 'a lot goes into that' For Tyreek Hill, it seems fatherhood is becoming his toughest but most meaningful role—and one he's sprinting into with the same intensity that made him a star.
