The video shows Zareen walking towards Katrina, who signs an autograph for her.
On the compassions with Katrina Kaif
'Life after Veer was very bad for me, I got a lot of criticism. The film was a life-changing moment for me.
Initially, I felt very happy that I was being compared to Katrina Kaif, but within the industry, things kept getting worse. For me, who used to be overweight, being compared to Katrina was huge, but it all backfired.'
'I felt like a lost child in the industry, plus there was hesitation. I didn't know most people here but they started to feel I was arrogant because Salman Khan launched me. I was even scared to step out of my house because people would comment on my clothes. That comparison went in a very negative way. I was given so many names, that at one point, I wanted to just sit at home. They all saw me as a failure.'

In an emotional Instagram post shared on Monday, Cameron wrote, 'After 27 fantastic years, I have taken my final steps down the drum riser for the mighty Pearl Jam (sic).' He thanked his fellow band members for their support and friendship, saying, 'Much love and respect to Jeff, Ed, Mike and Stone for inviting me into the band in 1998 and for giving me the opportunity of a lifetime, one filled with friendships, artistry, challenges and laughter (sic).'

More to follow. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart.' His message hints that he may share news about his future plans soon. Pearl Jam members Eddie Vedder, Stone Gossard, Mike McCready and Jeff Ament released their own statement following Cameron's departure. 'From being one of our first musical heroes in the bands Skinyard and the mighty Soundgarden, to playing on our first demos in 1990, Matt Cameron has been a singular and true powerhouse of a musician and drummer (sic),' the band said. They praised his impact on their music, adding, 'He has propelled the last 27 years of Pearl Jam live shows and studio recordings.

Shilpa Shirodkar recalls working as a hairdresser in New Zealand after getting married, leaving Bollywood: 'I was SSC fail but I put that in my resume'
After leaving films in 2000, built a new life abroad—first as a hairdresser in New Zealand, then in a corporate job. In a candid chat on MaaaNoranjan, she shared how marriage, work, and motherhood reshaped her journey, proving that life after stardom can be just as meaningful. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now In a candid conversation on MaaaNoranjan with Gauahar Khan, Shilpa reflected on her life in New Zealand after stepping away from films. To stay creatively engaged, she pursued a course in hairdressing—drawn to its connection with the world of beauty and performance. She even worked briefly at a salon, embracing a new chapter of reinvention far removed from the Bollywood spotlight. The actress also spoke about how balancing her new marriage with a demanding salon job became challenging. With her husband working weekdays and her schedule packed on weekends, the couple had little time together. Realizing the importance of nurturing their relationship in those early years, she eventually chose to step away from the job and focus on building their life together. After stepping away from salon work, Shilpa wasn't ready to sit idle. When her husband asked what she planned to do next, she surprised him by asking him to make her a resume—honestly listing everything from her film work to the fact that she hadn't completed her SSC. What began as a light-hearted experiment turned into a real turning point: she applied for a few jobs just for fun and, in a twist worthy of a movie scene, returned home the same day with two appointment letters in hand. She eventually took a job but soon found out she was pregnant. She eventually joined Dun & Bradstreet as a credit controller, stepping into a corporate role far removed from her film career. One day, after casually mentioning to a friend that she was constantly tired and experiencing acidity, the friend suggested she might be pregnant. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Though she laughed it off at first, a pregnancy test confirmed the unexpected news. Her husband's reaction was pure joy, and in that moment, everything changed. Their journey into parenthood had begun, marking yet another new chapter in Shilpa's evolving life beyond the screen. Despite facing significant health challenges during her pregnancy, she continued working without slowing down. She was on insulin multiple times a day, experienced drastic weight loss, and constantly carried the scent of cocoa butter—but for her, it was still a joyful and deeply fulfilling experience. She looks back on that time as one of the most special chapters of her life. After the birth of her daughter Anushka, Shilpa Shirodkar stepped away from work to focus fully on motherhood, choosing to be a hands-on, full-time mom.
