Aamir Khan recalls almost working with Mani Ratnam on ‘Lajo': 'Hope we collaborate soon'
Aamir Khan has revealed that he came close to collaborating with acclaimed filmmaker Mani Ratnam on a film titled 'Lajo', an adaptation of Ismat Chughtai's short story Gharwali, back in 2007. The project, which stirred considerable buzz at the time, ultimately didn't materialise. In a recent interview with Galatta, Aamir clarified that contrary to past reports, the film was not shelved due to creative differences between him and Mani Ratnam. ' We wanted to work with each other and almost did, Lajo, but that didn't work out for some third reason. Nothing to do with him and me,' Aamir said, adding that he remains a great admirer of the Ponniyin Selvan director and hopes to work with him in the future. Aamir's Admiration for Mani Ratnam Calling himself a 'huge fan' of Mani Ratnam, Aamir revealed that the two have met several times and shared great conversations. 'I have been to his house, spoken at length. He's someone whose work I truly respect,' Aamir noted. While Lajo may not have taken off, fans of both cinematic mavericks remain hopeful for a future collaboration that brings their creative energies together. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Keep Your Home Efficient with This Plug-In elecTrick - Save upto 80% on Power Bill Learn More Undo What's Next for Aamir Khan Aamir is currently promoting his much-anticipated comeback film 'Sitaare Zameen Par', which releases on June 20.

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
