, delivering a laughter-packed experience for viewers.
Archana Puran Singh
, who is an integral part of the show, recently gave fans a glimpse of the first day of the shoot in her vlog.

Parmeet Sethi
, along with their sons, Aaryamann and Ayushmaan. Joining them was Archana's househelp, Bhagyashree, for whom the family had secretly organised a special surprise, a chance to meet Salman Khan.

After reaching the shooting location in Filmcity, Archana revealed that the security was quite tight on the sets as Salman Khan was shooting for the episode and even her car was stopped by the extra security personnel for Salman.

For the uninitiated, Salman Khan's security was significantly tightened following multiple death threats linked to gangster Lawrence Bishnoi.
After the shoot, Salman interacted with Archana, Parmeet and their sons. The Sethi family introduced their househelp Bhagyashree to Salman and shared how she adores him. He clicked photos with Bhagyashree and the latter was over the moon. After the shoot wrapped up, Archana headed to her vanity where her family was waiting for her. During the interaction, Archana revealed that Salman told them that he has seen some of their vlogs, including the one featuring Sudesh Lehri and he liked their episodes.

Did Shah Rukh Khan charge a whopping amount for his role in Hey Ram with Kamal Haasan? THROWBACK
Shah Rukh Khan made his Tamil debut in 2000 opposite Kamal Haasan in the film Hey Ram. This epic historical fiction film was also simultaneously shot in Hindi and was directed by the Thug Life actor himself. While the two superstars continue to maintain a strong bond even now, there was a time when Kamal Haasan made a huge revelation about the Bollywood heartthrob. What was Shah Rukh Khan's fee for Hey Ram? Well, Shah Rukh Khan is known to be one of the highest-paid actors in the fraternity today. However, back in 2000, things were different when he made his Tamil debut with Hey Ram. In a previous interview with Colors Cineplex, Kamal Haasan had spilled the beans on the remuneration King Khan charged for his role as Amjad Ali Khan in the film. The Tamil actor shocked everyone with his revelation. He said, 'A lot of times in interviews, he said I just want to be a part of the film. All that he say all these things to please each other. But he (SRK) actually did it. When the budget ran over, he did not even ask for his remuneration.' Kamal Haasan felt SRK wasn't really a businessman Moving on with the revelation, Kamal Haasan mentioned that while everyone considers Shah Rukh as a businessman, he actually isn't really one, which is clear from the way that he skipped payment for the movie. Kamal mentioned that SRK knew the budget of the film and was more than happy to be just a part of it. Fees and remuneration did not cross his mind for once. Did SRK charge anything for his film with Kamal Haasan? Interestingly, while SRK did not take a penny for the film, he did extract a very special kind of fee for his work in Hey Ram, which was in the form of a wristwatch. The senior actor said, 'And I keep telling him.. he says, 'Woh rehne do.' He did the film for a wristwatch.' More about Hey Ram Besides Shah Rukh Khan and Kamal Haasan, Hey Ram also starred Rani Mukerji, Hema Malini, Naseeruddin Shah, Girish Karnad, Vasundhara Das, Om Puri, and others. While it wasn't a commercial success, the movie won three National Awards in total and bagged recognition after being screened in several international film festivals.

Munawar Faruqui Shares How Salman Khan Grounded Him: 'When Bhai Explains Something...'
Last Updated: Munawar Faruqui calls Salman Khan a guiding light and reflects on his financial struggles during his father's illness in 2009. Stand-up comedian and reality show star Munawar Faruqui continues to shower admiration on Bollywood icon Salman Khan, crediting him for being a pivotal influence during his Bigg Boss 17 journey. Known for being expressive about his admiration for the superstar, Munawar recently opened up about how Salman's presence helped him stay grounded and focused when things got tough. Speaking to Zoom, Munawar called Salman a 'visionary". 'When Bhai (Salman Khan) explains something, and whenever you see him on TV or elsewhere, you hear so many people praising him. The reason you hear so much praise is because the people around him, those who live or work closely with him, respect him a lot," he said. Munawar further added, 'That's because when Bhai speaks, there's a lot of knowledge you can pick up from his words. Listening to him can genuinely help you in life. I think the people who truly care for him do so because he's not only visionary, but also highly experienced. He understands the world and people very well. He is very kind and has a good heart." The comic-turned-actor also took a trip down memory lane, reflecting on one of the most defining moments of his life marked by financial struggle and emotional turmoil. In 2009, during a medical emergency involving his father, Munawar experienced a life-changing realisation about money and survival. 'This impact happened in 2009 when there was a medical emergency at home," he recalled. He shared how even basic medication wasn't affordable and how that moment shattered his once-satisfying belief of just 'earning enough to eat." The incident ignited a fire in him to work harder and change his financial situation. On the work front, Munawar recently made his acting debut in First Copy, directed by Farhan Zamma. The web series, which premiered on Amazon MX Player on June 20, 2025, also stars Krystle D'Souza and Gulshan Grover. Prior to this, Munawar had hosted Hafta Vasooli and gained widespread popularity through reality shows like Bigg Boss 17 and Lock Upp.
