In an age when actors are constantly chasing visibility, Vaani Kapoor stands out for doing just the opposite. With just over a dozen titles like Shuddh Desi Romance, Befikre, Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui, Raid 2 to her name in a career that spans more than a decade, Vaani has opted for quality over quantity—strategically choosing roles that challenge her, excite her, and help her grow.Her latest outing,, marks herand might just be one of her most transformative performances yet.Looking at her filmography, it's easy to wonder why an actor of Vaani's caliber hasn't done more films. But for her, the answer is simple: she's deliberate, not hesitant. 'Whatever has come my way, I have tried to pick the best out of that lot. It's not easy. It's not like I'm waking up with the best filmmakers sending me their scripts. You have to earn it. No matter what people say, I find myself very lucky. I'm grateful that a studio likebacked me. But even then, I had to audition and prove my worth. They only chose me after multiple auditions. My journey hasn't been very easy. I have made very little money. I support myself, I support my family. One can always feel selfish and say, 'Let's do it for the money.' But I'm lucky—my family has never burdened me with that pressure. Nobody's said, 'Do this because we need you to.' I'm very grateful to the support system I have, whether it's my family or my agency. When it comes to picking films, that's one thing I don't want to compromise on, I will work more with brands and endorsements etc."

Tamannaah Bhatia Swears By Morning 'Thook' For Pimples, Fans Say ‘It Actually Works'
Last Updated: Tamannaah Bhatia says she uses morning spit on her face to prevent pimples before brushing. Social media reacts, some call it effective, others call it risky. Tamannaah Bhatia, fondly known as the 'Milky Beauty' in the South Indian film industry, has always left fans curious about the secret behind her flawless skin. Recently, she made a surprising revelation that's left the internet buzzing. In an interaction with The Lallantop, Tamannaah shared a rather unconventional skincare ritual: she uses her morning saliva on her face to avoid pimples and it must be done before brushing her teeth. When Tamannaah casually mentioned this morning ritual during the interview, the room collectively gasped. Even the host appeared visibly stunned. 'Before brushing, just thook (spit)," she laughed, leaving everyone in splits. But she was serious and it turns out she's not alone in this. As clips from the interview went viral, many social media users came forward to agree with Tamannaah's unique hack. One fan commented, 'I thought I was the only one doing that," while another added, 'She is true, using this hack since years." Some even claimed the method works for eye infections as well, citing old household remedies. 'The saliva immediately after you wake up… use it for eye infection… it works there too," read one comment. However, not everyone is convinced. Several users raised concerns about the scientific validity of the trick. One sceptical user explained, 'Saliva does have antibacterial enzymes, but they are not strong enough to treat acne-causing bacteria effectively. Pimples are caused by more than just bacteria—clogged pores, excess oil, and inflammation play a big part. Saliva doesn't fix those." Despite the polarising opinions, the conversation sparked by Tamannaah's beauty secret has been an interesting mix of surprise, nostalgia, and debate. Whether you believe in the 'morning spit remedy" or not, it certainly makes for a memorable skincare confession. On the work front, Tamannaah was recently seen grooving to the track Nasha from Raid 2. She will next be seen opposite Ajay Devgn in Ranger. Additionally, she is also working on TVF's ambitious mythological project Vvan alongside Sidharth Malhotra. Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Saiyaara Box Office Collection Day 18: After ruling the box office for 17 days, Mohit Suri's latest romantic film, starring newcomers Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, on Monday slowed down a bit. Saiyaara's earnings declined on its eighteenth day. According to trade industry tracker Sacnilk, Saiyaara earned an estimated ₹ 1.39 crore India net on Monday, August 4, at the box office, marking a significant decline since Friday. Saiyaara had an overall 13.95% Hindi Occupancy on Monday. Saiyaara Day 18 Hindi (2D) occupancy in Theaters Night Shows: yet to be ascertained. The Ahaan Pandey-starrer film opened to ₹ 21.5 crore. On Friday, Day 15, the film earned ₹ 4.5 crore. The total collection of Saiyaara now stands at ₹ 301.14 crore (India Net), according to Sacnilk data. Saiyaara collected over ₹ 472 crore worldwide in 17 days, including ₹ 299.75 crore India net and ₹ 112 crore from overseas. Speaking on the Saiyaara box office collection, film trade analyst Taran Adarsh wrote on X, 'continues its dream run… The film has crossed the ₹ 💯 cr mark in *Week 2* [Friday to Wednesday], reflecting its strong hold at the box-office. It is now eyeing a ₹ 285 cr [+/-] total by the end of Week 2.' In another post on X, Adarsh noted, '#Saiyaara continues its strong run on Tuesday, hitting double digits yet again… The discounted ticket pricing initiative has certainly helped drive footfalls.' However, the film's collection has been impacted by Ashwin Kumar's mythological animated film, Mahavatar Narsimha that released on July 25, 2025. Saiyaara is a romantic musical drama film directed by Mohit Suri. Produced by Yash Raj Films, it stars debutants Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda along with Geeta Agarwal, Rajesh Kumar, and Varun Badola. The film is loosely inspired by the 2004 Korean movie A Moment To Remember.

Morning saliva: Tamannaah Bhatia shares unusual hack for pimples
Actor Tamannaah Bhatia recently opened up about her unusual approach to treating pimples during an interview with India Today's sister channel, The Lallantop. The actor suggested the use of morning saliva as a natural remedy for a candid conversation, the 35-year-old stated, "Pimple hack? Spit. Saliva. It works. I mean, the morning spit."Bhatia explained her understanding of the science behind this hack. "Because it's scientific, right? Like when you wake up in the morning, basically, your mouth has enough antibacterial elements. I'm no doctor, but this is what I understand. It's a personal hack. I believe there's science to it." she "Your body has already created a lot of antibacterial elements in your mouth when you wake up. Because you've slept, and now you're waking up. So your eyes are full of mucus, your nose is full of mucus, and your mouth has been battling all the bacteria through the night since you haven't brushed your teeth yet. And if you use that spit, it dries up the pimple immediately if it's not cystic." Bhatia further elaborated. Beyond this personal hack, Bhatia also discussed her broader skincare philosophy. "Since I've been in front of the camera, from the age of 24-25, I've been using good skincare. I think that's the more preventive way to go about it. Like, if you want to age gracefully. There are people who love their lines and embrace them. But if you want to slow that process down a bit, and I'm assuming some people would like that, then it's really good to use anti-ageing creams from the age of 25. It helps."Meanwhile, on the professional front, the actor was recently seen in 'Raid 2' song 'Nasha'. - EndsMust Watch
