This boy knocked at my door 41 years ago, called Anupam Kher. He came from the blue, and there's something I saw. My heart saw something which the mind took years to decide for what was it. The character that we created in Saraansh for BV Pradhan of the 65-70 year old man, is this man now today. I feel this movie is an extension of spirit of Saaraansh. The audacity of life to go on, irrespective of the obstacles and the odds. Nothing can be more gratifying for a mentor than to see his prodigy outshine him," said Mahesh Bhatt.

Still stuck in Bangalore traffic, friend reached Dubai: Netizens react to viral video, ‘Mocks entire city'
A 3-second video of Bengaluru traffic has gone viral on Instagram. The viral video clip has gained nearly 18 million views so far. It has also received 1 million likes. The virality is primarily because of a caption on the video. 'Dropped my friend at Bangalore Airport as she was leaving for Dubai. She reached Dubai and I'm still stuck in Bangalore's traffic,' says the caption of the video shared by food and travel vloggers Priyanka and Indrayani. 'Based on true incidents. Tag Bangalore people,' the captain adds. Social media users reacted to it. 'THIS ACTUALLY HAPPENED TO ME. my parents dropped me at the airport and they reached home at the same time as I landed in Delhi,' wrote one user. 'In Bangalore, 1km by car = 3 hour's and 1km by walk = 10 minutes,' wrote another. Another user wrote, 'I'm not even kidding, this actually happened to me. My sister was leaving to mangalore she boarded last minute and she had already reached Mangalore and i was still onw home (not even exaggerating).' A screenshot of the post was shared on other social media platforms. Some users, however, disagreed. They thought it was exaggerated. 'Not true! You go 3 hrs prior to INT flight… and then the flight itself is 3.5 hrs. That's a total of 6.5 hrs. In 6.5hrs, you can pass Hebbal, Marathalli, HSR, Ecity, Silkboard, CBD & back to Hebbal and to this round again…! Traffic is there, but this post is overdone!,' wrote a user on Twitter (now X). 'You can't get stuck where you are filming this while you came from the airport. You have Direct access for the Hebbal flyover from the airport but you are on the service road here…' came from another. One user went ahead and commented, 'This post spreads hate against the entire city. It mocks the entire city…'

Katy Perry Escapes Mishap As Stage Prop Fails Mid-Performance; Shocking Clip Goes Viral
Katy Perry faced a stage prop malfunction during her San Francisco concert while performing "Roar." Despite nearly falling, she continued singing. Katy Perry faced a tense moment during a recent concert in San Francisco when a mid-air stage prop unexpectedly malfunctioned while she was performing. The singer, who was in the middle of delivering her hit track Roar, managed to keep her composure and continued performing despite nearly falling off a suspended butterfly-shaped structure. The incident occurred as part of the elaborate stage production designed for her ongoing tour. Perry was seated on a massive butterfly prop that lifted her above the crowd. As she encouraged fans to sing along, the prop suddenly jolted and dropped slightly, causing the singer to briefly lose her balance. However, Katy held on tightly and continued singing, demonstrating remarkable professionalism. Take a look: A video of the moment quickly began circulating on social media platforms, including X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram. Fans praised her calm reaction. One user wrote, 'She said the singing shouldn't stop which the audience paid for!!! Handled it so well." Another chimed in, 'Look at the professionalism and how she kept singing! Hope she is safe and okay. Some female pop stars just give their everything to create an amazing concert for their fans even if it means risking their own lives!!! Yet ppl will pick some cringe moments from 2 hours show to tear them down?!" The malfunction also sparked debate about aerial stunts in live shows. 'Starting to feel like more artists should just stay on the ground / stage," said one fan, while another added, 'These pop stars need to stay on the stage, learn from Gaga. First Beyoncé, now her." Interestingly, the moment comes shortly after Perry and actor Orlando Bloom confirmed their breakup after nearly a decade together. In a joint statement, their representatives said, 'Due to the abundance of recent interest and conversation surrounding Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry's relationship, representatives have confirmed that Orlando and Katy have been shifting their relationship over the past many months to focus on co-parenting."
