Here's a closer look.
How Farah met Dilip over a decade ago
True to his playful nature, Dilip appeared fascinated with their guest, Mrunal.
He donned a police costume and teamed up with her to prepare the paneer in their freshly updated kitchen. Ajay joked that he'd hang out in the living room while Mrunal and Farah handled the cooking, but he soon came back to help by chopping paneer. Dilip madly expressed how much he admires Ajay, and Farah revealed she had never told the story of how she first met Dilip until now.
Farah shares heartwarming anecdote about Dilip's early days
She said, 'You know how I found him? Oh my God! I have to tell you this story.
He was outside your house. How could I forget this? Yeh aapke bangle ke bahar ghoom raha tha, aur aapki mummy ne isse 'Son of Sardaar' ki ticket di (He was loitering outside your house, and your mother gave him tickets for 'Son of Sardaar').' Dilip nodded excitedly, and said, 'Mummy ke saath achi jaan-pehchan thi. Mera chhota bhai kaam karta tha, Bholaa.
' Farah requested Ajay to ask his mother if she remembers Dilip.

Dhadak 2 box office collection day 2: Siddhant Chaturvedi-Triptii Dimri film lags behind Ajay Devgn's Son of Sardaar 2
Dhadak 2 box office collection day 2: Shazia Iqbal's directorial debut starring Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri released in theatres on August 1 after facing multiple delays. After having a slow start at the box office, has Dhadak 2 managed to show growth on its second day of release? As per the latest update on Sacnilk, the film is yet to cross the ₹10 crore mark. Dhadak 2 box office collection day 2: Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri's love saga has stiff competition from Son of Sardaar 2. Dhadak 2 box office update The report states that Dhadak 2 has collected ₹3.75 crore on its second day of release. On Friday, the film made an opening day haul of ₹3.5 crore. The total collection of the film now stands at ₹7.25 crore. Dhadak 2 is facing stiff competition at the box office from another new release (and sequel)- Ajay Devgn's Son of Sardaar 2. The comedy saga made twice as more than Dhadak 2 on its second day with ₹7.5 crore, as per Sacnilk. Son of Sardaar 2's overall collection now stands at ₹14.5 crore. Meanwhile, Saiyaara, now in its third week, is still going strong. The film is set to cross the ₹300 crore mark by Sunday. Elsewhere, animated film Mahavtar Narasimha is also performing exceedingly well in its second week. About Dhadak 2 Dhadak 2 chronicles the turbulent love story of Nilesh (Siddhant), a Dalit law student who falls in love with his classmate Vidhi (Triptii), who hails from an upper-caste household. They have to fight casteism and classism in order to make their relationship survive. The film received positive reviews upon release, with many praising the hard-hitting direction and mature performances of the cast. It is an adaptation of Periyarum Perumal. Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap lauded the film and said, 'The film captures the conversation that we avoid on a day-to-day basis. This is what mainstream cinema was meant to be, and this is what great filmmakers like Raj Kapoor, Bimal Roy, Guru Dutt, K A Abbas, B R Chopra, Yash Chopra, and so many used to do. We forgot to make mainstream films of social relevance. They got relegated to independent art house cinema. This is what Tamizh cinema and so much of cinema from south still does.'

This actor once roamed the streets drunk, police used to drive him home, now has a net worth of Rs 277 crore, his name is...
Bollywood has different types of actors. While some are called character actors, others are known for their massy action roles. However, there are some celebs who fall into the category of comedians. Today, we will discuss one of the most celebrated comedy actors in Bollywood. He is known as one of the most versatile talents the industry has. However, despite being a renowned actor, he had to suffer in his personal life. But he overcame everything and is now the owner of Rs 277 crore. This Actor Used to Roam the Streets Drunk He is one of those actors who once attempted suicide due to his circumstances. If you are wondering who we are talking about, then this actor is none other than Johnny Lever. In 1981, Johnny Lever made his debut in the film Yeh Rishta Na Toote but initially struggled to find significant roles. However, in the coming years, Johnny Lever proved his mettle in the industry and began climbing the ladder of success. While speaking candidly with his daughter Jamie Lever on comedian Sapan Verma's YouTube show, Johnny recalled his hectic schedule and how his tremendous success started taking a toll on his health and lifestyle. He said, 'I used to be very tired. I used to shoot films during the day and perform in shows at night. Apart from this, I used to drink a lot of alcohol. This would make me completely exhausted. I used to sit backstage as if I was in Shavasana.' During that time, Johnny realized his addiction to alcohol was growing day by day, becoming a concern for him and his family. There were even days when he used to roam the streets until 4 a.m., completely drunk. Police Used to Drive Johnny Home In the same interview, Johnny said, 'The police would come many times, but when they recognized me, they would laugh and say, 'Hey, Johnny bhai,' and let me sit in their car so that I could drink comfortably.' In the same show, he admitted, 'Success can really mess with your head. There was a time when no film was made without me. I was doing international shows, traveling constantly, and completely lost in it all. But eventually, I made a decision — I quit drinking. It's been 24 years now, and I haven't touched alcohol since.' After fighting the odds, Johnny turned his life around through talent and determination, and today he has a net worth of Rs 277 crore.

Dhadak 2 Day 2 India Box Office: Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri's shows muted growth after decent first day; Adds Rs 3.75 crore on Saturday
Dhadak 2, directed by Shazia Iqbal and starring Siddhant Chaturvedi, Triptii Dimri and others, didn't get desired growth on its second day at the India box office. After a day 1 of Rs 3.50 crore with the aid of discount offers, the movie grew by just 5-10 percent on day 2 to add Rs 3.75 crore net on day 2. The below par growth on day 2 is obviously due to the discount offer not being continued for day 2, and strong competition from holdover releases. The Shazia Iqbal movie heads for a low-ish Rs 11.50 crore net opening weekend. The Day Wise India Net Collections Of Dhadak 2 Are As Under Dhadak 2 Was Helped Significantly By The Dhadak Brand Dhadak 2, from the promos itself, never felt like a film with big screen potential. One of the very few reasons why Dhadak 2 is able to put even this much on the board is because it is a sequel to the hit film Dhadak. If not for the Dhadak brand, the collections would have been lower. The clash was with Son Of Sardaar 2 but the movie's actual threat has been holdover releases Saiyaara and Mahavatar Narsimha. Due to strong performance of the holdover releases, Dhadak 2 was forced to have a targetted 1000 screen release where the potential to grow was always going to be limited. Dhadak 2 Hopes For Decent Hold On Monday For A Reasonable Theatrical Trend Dhadak 2 now aims to hold decently on Monday to have a shot at a Rs 25 crore net lifetime. If the movie doesn't hold on Monday, a Rs 20 crore lifetime may also be difficult. Like most Dharma films though, the movie has recovered its budget from non-theatrical revenue sources and won't be a loss-making proposition for the producers. Dhadak 2 In Theatres Dhadak 2 plays in theatres now. Tickets for the movie can be booked from the box office or from online ticketing websites. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates.
