Pinkvilla ran a poll asking fans who they would have preferred alongside Vikrant and the verdict is in. Tara Sutaria emerged as the clear favorite!
Pinkvilla conducted a poll on May 9 to see which actress fans would have loved more with Vikrant Massey if not Shanaya Kapoor in Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan. The options were Tara Sutaria and Pratibha Ranta. Tara became the winner with 59.46% votes while Pratibha received 40.54% vote.

Sunita Ahuja reveals Govinda wanted physique like Sylvester Stallone: 'Tu mujhe paisa nahi de raha hai ki main teri...'
Superstar Govinda is widely recognised for his performance in the 90s comedy movies. He has been married to Sunita Ahuja for more than 30 years. Like every other time, Sunita has again hit the headlines due to her bold confessions and unapologetic attitude. In a recent interview with Instant Bollywood, Sunita revealed the sole reason behind her fights with husband Govinda. She pointed out how people around him intentionally don't let him realize his worth. She stressed that Govinda not working is the only reason why she engages in a fight with him. "Main usko bolti hu, tu kaam kar. Public tujhe miss kar rhi hai. Main bolti hun tu weight lose kar kam se kam 20 kgs. Usne mujhe 6-7 saal pehle bola tha ke main Sylvester Stallone banke dikhaunga, kyunki he is one of my favourite actor. Maine kaha woh is janam mein toh hone nahi wala, agle janam mein tu mujhe pati ke roop mein nahi, bete ke roop mein chahiye," said Sunita. "(I tell him to work. The audience is missing you. I also ask him to lose weight, at least 20 kilos. He told me 6-7 years ago that he would lose weight and become like Sylvester Stallone because he's one of my favourite actors. I told him, that's not going to happen in this life. In the next life, I don't want you as a husband but as a son)." Sunita Ahuja went on to add that Govinda has been wasting his time because of the people around him. Blaming his social circle, she highlighted that these people misguide him as they benefit from the Partner actor. Furthermore, Ahuja mentioned that she advises him to choose directors wisely to match the contemporary cinema standards. The 50-year-old admitted that Govinda is living in the 90s era which is why his comeback is still awaited. In the same interview, Sunita remarked how the Hero No. 1 actor gets angry because of her honest criticism. "Tu mujhe paisa nahi de raha hai ki main teri chamchagiri karu. Main idhar kisi ke baap ki chamchagiri karne nahi baithi (You are not giving me money to flatter you. I am not sitting here to flatter anyone's father)", concluded Govinda's wife.

Meet actor Kartik Aaryan who was AD on his own film, gave over 30 retakes for kissing scene, trolled for sexist dialogues and is now biggest heartthrob
Known for his comic timing and charming looks, this actor made it big in the industry despite being an outsider. Debuted in 2011, the actor worked as an AD on his own film and struggled to do kissing scenes on-screen. He is now considered one of the biggest crowd pullers, whose horror-comedy franchise has a dedicated fan base. Yes, we are talking about none other than Kartik Aaryan. Born on November 22, 1990, to a Brahmin family in Gwalior (Madhya Pradesh), Kartik Aaryan is among the leading stars in Bollywood today. The actor holds a strong fan base and is carrying a successful film career. His debut film, Pyaar Ka Punchnama, was released in 2011 by filmmaker Luv Ranjan. Though the movie was a decent performer at the box office, Kartik was applauded for his performance. He worked as an Assistant director on his third film, Kaanchi, directed by Subhash Ghai. The actor faced difficulty in doing kissing scenes. Reportedly, he gave around 37 retakes for a passionate kissing sequence in Kaanchi. In his initial years, Kartik Aaryan was identified as a 'monologue actor' because he used to have long monologues in movies—Pyaar Ka Punchnama, Pyaar Ka Punchnama 2, Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety, and Pati Patni Aur Woh. While his monologues used to have a virality factor, they were also criticised for being misogynistic. After facing backlash, the makers of Pati Patni Aur Woh decided to remove his monologue from the final edit. His breakthrough movie was the 2018 release Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety, which was his first ever Rs 100 crore net grosser in India. The super success of SKTKS put him on the national map, and he became the new sensation in the tinsel town. Kartik never looked back since then and has given several hits and Superhit movies, including Luka Chuppi, Pati Patni Aur Woh, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3. Kartik Aaryan's highest grossing movie is Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, directed by Anees Bazmee. While fans wait for its fourth installment, Kartik has an exciting slate of releases ahead: an untitled romantic film with Anurag Basu co-starring Sreeleela, Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri with Sameer Vidwans co-starring Ananya Panday, and Pati Patni Aur Woh 2. The actor also had a fallout with Karan Johar; however, they made up and reunited. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates.
