Friday figures se detach hona bahut zaruri hai, says Kartik Aaryan
The actor talks about how he deals with the pressures of opening-day collections
While box office numbers are extremely crucial, and
Kartik Aaryan
has enjoyed several box office successes, he believes that actors should learn to have a certain sense of detachment from the pressure that comes with the Friday performance of a film.
Addressing how he copes with industry demands, the Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 actor said, 'I think it's crucial to know the reality. Everything is temporary in the industry, whether it is success or failure. Woh Friday se detach hona bahut zaruri hai. You must not attach yourself to opening-day figures. When you know that, aap, apne aap mein successful ho jate ho.'
Kartik says that he hasn't let fame entirely change the way he likes living his life.
'Main jo bhi pehle karna chahta tha, woh sab kuch ab bhi kar raha hoon. Mere jo shauk thay maine pure kar liye hain, and I am still enjoying them. I still go to malls and enjoy roadside food. I don't let fame stop me from enjoying the simple pleasures of life,' he says.

Kartik, who spent considerable time in the City of Nawabs (Lucknow) while shooting Pati Patni Aur Woh, said he was overjoyed to return. 'I shot Pati Patni Aur Woh here, and it was very special,' he recalled. 'When I stayed for a long shoot, I explored the city in depth. Now that I am back, I see many changes. The airport changed, the roads look so different, and there is so much development — I was pleasantly surprised.'
He mentioned that Lucknow holds a personal connection for him. 'Lucknow is a city where our Hindi films are widely loved across UP,' he said, adding with a smile, 'Yaha aakar muskurahat khud hi aa jati hai!'

Madhu Chopra opens up about leaving hospital for Priyanka Chopra's career; admits son Siddharth Chopra's initial neglect
Madhu Chopra revealed the family's sacrifices to support Priyanka Chopra's career, including leaving their hospital and hometown. She admitted that her younger son Siddharth was initially neglected as she focused on Priyanka. Despite this, Siddharth grew independent, managing his education and life without relying on the family. Priyanka Chopra 's rise from the small town of Bareilly to global stardom involved significant sacrifices by her entire family. Her mother, Madhu Chopra , recently revealed how challenging it was for them to leave their hometown and start anew in Mumbai to support Priyanka's career ambitions. Gradual Relocation and Financial Independence In a discussion with Debina Bonnerjee on her YouTube show, Madhu talked about the difficult decision her family made to move to Mumbai for Priyanka's career. They relocated gradually—first, Priyanka and her father moved while Madhu stayed behind to work and support Priyanka's expenses. Later, after her husband secured a job at Lilavati Hospital, Madhu joined them. She emphasized the importance of maintaining dignity by being financially independent during this transition. Leaving Behind a Hospital and a Comfortable Life She further spoke about the difficult decision she and her late husband Ashok Chopra , also a doctor, faced when they chose to leave the hospital they had built from the ground up to support Priyanka's career in the Hindi film industry. They had spent 11 years establishing themselves as top doctors in the city, starting from scratch. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Canadian Residents Aged 40-80 Could Claim This Benefit yourseniorsaving Undo Letting go of their patients, friends, and home was a significant sacrifice. Madhu described Mumbai as a vast ocean, warning that without the ability to navigate it, one could easily struggle to survive. Perspectives on Parenting Madhu described three types of parents: those who stay at home and support their children from a distance, those who recognize the tough challenges ahead but stand by their children, and a third group who give up everything and become dependent on their child. She expressed that she does not agree with the third type. Prioritizing Priyanka's Career Above All Chopra revealed that the family's bold decision to relocate was driven by the fact that 'Priyanka's career came before everything else.' She also mentioned that during their initial days in Mumbai, they had to send their younger son, Siddharth Chopra, to stay with relatives in the USA, as they were still settling into the new environment. Sacrifices and Siddharth's Independence She explained that Siddharth was sent away because she had to dedicate most of her time to Priyanka and was unable to give him the attention he needed. Her brother-in-law had insisted that she could not leave Priyanka alone even for a minute in Mumbai, which meant Madhu had to leave her medical practice to be with her daughter. Although Siddharth was initially somewhat neglected, he grew up to be independent, managing his college education and life on his own without relying on the family.

Vishnu Manchu Exclusive Interview: 'I think it is Lord Shiva who chose Akshay Kumar to play this character in Kannappa'
Vishnu Manchu is gearing up for the release of his ambitious film Kannappa, that co-stars Preity Mukhundhan, Akshay Kumar, Prabhas, Mohanlal, Kajal Agarwal and a host of other actors. The movie is up for release on 27th June, 2025, and it releases in multiple Indian languages. Vishnu, along with Akshay Kumar, graced Pinkvilla with an interview of theirs, ahead of the release of their fantasy-actioner with a devotional touch. In the interview, Vishnu Manchu was first asked about how he got the idea to cast Akshay Kumar in the role of Lord Shiva. The Dhee star answered, "For me, when I started writing the script, for me, the only vision that I had was of Mr Akshay Kumar; Who would look like Lord Shiva? Mr Akshay Kumar. His face features, or the way he conducts himself, and the way he looks!". Watch Akshay Kumar And Vishnu Manchu's Interview With Pinkvilla, Ahead Of The Release Of Kannappa He continued, "I did have a lot of people ask me if I am sure about Mr Akshay Kumar. I said that he's the only man I can think of. But spiritually speaking, I think it is Lord Shiva who chose him to play this character and not me. I could only propose. I got the approval from Lord Shiva". Talking about playing devotional characters, Vishnu said, "It's not that easy to play roles of gods. In the Hindi Film Industry, it is lesser. But in the south, in lot of languages, we make a lot of movies on Ramayana or Mahabharata or other devotional movies. I feel you have to be destined to play certain characters. As much as I am destined to play Kannappa, it was Lord Shiva's blessings that he (Akshay Kumar) had to play Lord Shiva". In his concluding remarks, Vishnu Manchu said that for the current generation, if anyone has to think of Lord Shiva, it has to be Mr Akshay Kumar. Adding to what Vishnu told, Akshay Kumar said, "To be chosen to play this, I feel very lucky about it. I feel very empowered. It doesn't happen to many people. To play Lord Krishna or Lord Shiva; And the movie is also working. That is the big thing. I say to myself that I am one of the most luckiest person". Kannappa hits theatres on the 27th of June, 2025. It releases alongside Maa and F1. It is to be seen how Kannappa plays amidst the stiff competition that it faces. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates on Akshay Kumar, Vishnu Manchu and their film Kannappa.
