That's when it hits you-there are so many people in our country who go through this quietly, and yet it makes such a big difference."
He added, "It was my dear friend Boney Kapoor who introduced me to Dr. Pradeep Sethi. Initially, I thought it was just about hair, but meeting Dr.
Sethi turned out to be something much deeper. He made the entire experience so seamless, professional, and precise-I barely realised when the transformation was complete."

He fondly recounted a touching memory from his time working on "Taare Zameen Par."
"During the composition phase, we were in Chennai, and Aamir Khan's mother was unwell at the time. We were staying at a hotel near the hospital, and right there-in a small hall with a basic musical setup-we composed one of the film's key tracks. It reminded me that music doesn't need grandeur, just sincerity and heart."
Meanwhile, the singer recently made headlines for delivering a heartfelt tribute to the Indian armed forces ahead of the IPL 2025 final in Ahmedabad on June 3. Organized by the BCCI, the tribute honored the courage and sacrifice of the forces during Operation Sindhoor. Mahadevan delivered a powerful medley of patriotic songs that captured the essence of India's spirit. Joining him on stage were his sons, Siddharth and Shivam Mahadevan, adding to the emotional resonance of the performance.

Abhishek Bachchan recalls having fight with Aditya Chopra during this song in 'Dhoom 2', also featuring Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Hrithik Roshan: 'He dances for his wife'
The villains of the 'Dhoom' franchise may keep changing, but the franchise is largely about Jai Dixit and Ali (played by Abhishek Bachchan and Uday Chopra ). In a recent interview with ETimes, as Abhishek spoke about his 25-year old long journey in the movies, we also discussed some of his popular characters. During this chat, when pointed out to him that perhaps Jai Dixit shouldn't have danced in the 'Dil Laga' song from 'Dhoom 2', Abhishek agreed and he further recalled how he actually fought with producer Aditya Chopra for the same. Abhishek said, "I had a huge fight with Adi (Aditya Chopra) on that. My fight with Adi was that scene with Hrithik and me in the bar and we flip the coin. We say, kal dekhenge, aaj raat dhoom machale. The song starts. I said throughout the song I just want to be at the bar, just going to be clocking Aryan with his attitude like, 'I've given you tonight, you have fun. I'll see you tomorrow.' But Adi was adamant. We had a huge fight on it. He said no, the audience wants to see all the cast dance. I agree with you, that he shouldn't have danced. Jai Dixit doesn't dance for anyone, he dances for his wife. That's what I used to love about Jai. He is this 'hard as nail' cop outside, with a no-nonsense attitude. But with his wife, he is completely opposite. He is petrified of her." He added, "In the first scene, his wife comes to drop him and he's sitting behind on a scooter while everyone else is scared of him and she tells him, 'I want machhi and he's like okay baby I'll get it for you.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Install the Perfect Pool at Home – Start Here Backyard Pool | Search Ads Learn More Undo His wife is the only person who's got him wrapped around and I loved that dichotomy about him." Abhishek's character Jai Dixit was also seen dancing in the song 'Touch Me Soneya' in the film, with Bipasha Basu. However, he clarified that it was becuase she was Jai's high school sweetheart and it was a school reunion. "He wasn't working that time," said Abhishek. Though, he added that these are just small things which happen. "At the end of the day, the film did really well, so you also have to accept that maybe you don't know everything. 'Dhoom' is also not just this character-driven piece. It's a popcorn film. So, I think the justification was there. Don't use your brain too much (Laughs)," he said. When further asked if there can ever be a spin-off movie of his cop character Jai, Abhishek said, "A lot of people laugh when I say this but please try and understand the way I see it. Dhoom is the adventures of Jai and Ali. The villain has to be unsurmountable otherwise there's no fun. Every villain in any say for example superhero film has to seem like 'Oh this time you will not be able to catch them, but then he does catch eventually. So, for me, 'Dhoom' is the 'Adventures Of Jai and Ali'."
