Despite filming in challenging conditions, Sadia says her brother's presence has been her greatest source of comfort and strength.
In an emotional reflection, she shared, 'Wherever I am in life, my brother is always with me — always there for me.

She went on to reveal how Atif put his own work aside to be with her, 'He left everything — all his work — just to be by my side. He knew I would be alone in a different country, doing something challenging, so he came along. His presence alone makes everything easier for me. Wherever I go, if my brother is there, I feel at home — in any corner of the world. I feel relaxed, and I feel protected from any circumstances. I'm lucky to have a brother like Atif Khateeb, who is only one call away.

THIS Popular '90s Track Led To Multiple Arrests Across India
Last Updated: The 1989 Bollywood hit "Oye Oye" from Tridev, directed by Rajiv Rai, became notorious for eve-teasing incidents, leading to arrests. Only in India can a catchy Bollywood track go from chartbuster to police station regular. Interestingly, one of the most popular songs of the '90s didn't just rule the radio, it apparently had a side hustle as… a criminal accomplice! Director Rajiv Rai spilled the masala gossip in an interview with Radio Nasha. He revealed that the track in question wasn't banned but it did get a little notorious. Why? Because people across India started using it for eve-teasing. Yup, every time the beat dropped, so did the decency levels. 'It was not banned, but all of the people were arrested. They started using it for eve-teasing. A lot of people were arrested for catcalling all over the country," Rai said. The peppy chartbuster Oye Oye from the 1989 blockbuster Tridev drew inspiration from Gloria Estefan's global hit Rhythm is Gonna Get You. Composed by the legendary duo Kalyanji-Anandji, with Viju Shah adding his signature flair, the song's infectious beat and high-energy vibe made it an instant favourite. Sung by Kavita Krishnamurthy and Suresh Wadkar, Oye Oye lit up the screen with Sonam in the spotlight, alongside the film's stars Sunny Deol, Jackie Shroff, and Naseeruddin Shah. Tridev was a high-octane action thriller from 1989, directed and co-written by Rajiv Rai. The film boasted a powerhouse cast, including Naseeruddin Shah, Sunny Deol, Jackie Shroff, Madhuri Dixit, Sangeeta Bijlani, Sonam, Anupam Kher, and the unforgettable Amrish Puri. A massive hit with both critics and audiences, Tridev became the third highest-grossing Hindi film of the year, trailing only behind Maine Pyar Kiya and Ram Lakhan. At the 35th Filmfare Awards in 1990, it bagged three trophies. The film's popularity even crossed language barriers, inspiring a Telugu remake titled Nakshatra Poratam, starring Suman Talwar, Bhanuchander Prasad, and Arun Pandian. Meanwhile, Rajiv is making a comeback to direction after 21 years with his new film, Zora. The movie stars Ravinder Kuhar, Karan Vir, and Sofia Parveen. The story follows a cop who sets out to find his father's killer two decades after the crime, guided only by a mysterious perfume bottle labeled 'Scent By The Devil". But his hunt for revenge leads him to uncover shocking hidden truths. Rajiv's last film as a director was Asambhav in 2004, starring Arjun Rampal and Priyanka Chopra, before he took a long break from filmmaking. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Mrunal Thakur Calls Bipasha Basu ‘Manly' In Viral Video, Gets Trolled: ‘I'm Far Better Than Her'
Last Updated: In an old interview clip, Mrunal Thakur asked her Kumkum Bhagya co-star Arjit Taneja to "marry" Bipasha Basu.

What happened is that an old interview of the actress recently surfaced on social media, where she was seen playfully teasing her Kumkum Bhagya co-star Arjit Taneja. The clip ignited heated discussions after she made a remark about Bollywood actress Bipasha Basu. In a throwback clip shared on the Bollywood-centric subreddit BollyBlindsNGossip, Mrunal Thakur and her co-star Arjit Taneja were seen giving an interview during their Kumkum Bhagya days. At one point, Arjit playfully dared her to do a headstand, to which she jokingly replied that he could sit while she balanced on her head. Arjit then challenged her again to do push-ups, prompting Mrunal to quip that he might be interested in marrying a strong, muscular woman. How Did The Internet React To Mrunal Thakur's Remark On Bipasha Basu? Mrunal Thakur's remark has now gone viral on the internet, with people divided over what she said about Bipasha Basu. Some people rushed in to defend the Raaz actress, pointing out how some insecure people would target her. A user said, 'She is extremely beautiful, tall, and confident, but certain women seem to get triggered by it because she is dusky and they can't fathom her getting the kind of recognition and attention. It's the same way certain white women feel insecure when women of colour get attention and recognition for being beautiful." Another added, 'Bips is hot, tall and confident. I don't blame these insecure women for being mad; they know they can't match up to her inner and outer hotness." 'The full clip of the interview was far worse; she even taunted Bipasha for looking Manly with muscles," quipped a different user. Meanwhile, people also brought up her conduct in Nach Baliye and the way she acted on the BeerBiceps podcast. Another person also added to the discussion, pointing out her alleged relationship with Tamil star Dhanush. Suggesting that her personality is the reason why the actor is rumoured to be dating Mrunal, the user mentioned, 'No wonder Dhanush sath kyu hai." What's Mrunal Thakur Up To These Days? The 33-year-old actress was most recently seen in Ajay Devgn's comedy drama Son of Sardaar 2. Directed by Vijay Kumar Arora, the film, a sequel to the 2011 movie Son of Sardaar, also featured Ravi Kishan, Neeru Bajwa, Deepak Dobriyal, Kubbra Sait, Chunky Panday and Sanjay Mishra. As of now, Mrunal Thakur has Dacoit: A Love Story, Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai and Pooja Meri Jaan in the pipeline. First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
