Abhishek Bachchan On Living With Amitabh-Jaya Bachchan, Aishwarya: "My Household Is Very Funny"
New Delhi: Abhishek Bachchan, who's currently promoting his film Kaalidhar Laapata, opened up about his family dynamics in a recent interview. What's Happening Abhishek Bachchan's family dynamics are always under public scrutiny. During the promotions of his film, Abhishek Bachchan opened up how his family functions during an interview with Zoom. He also said that how he prioritises solitude as an actor. Though he belongs to an actor's family, he said they find their solitude amid the family gatherings. When asked about the dynamics at home, he shared an insightful take: "It's funny. My household is very funny, and we are all actors. We all like to hang out together, and then suddenly everyone just goes back to their own personal spaces." He continued, "That comes naturally because for actors it is important to spend time with yourself and get to know yourself. Self-discovery is something that we rarely do. It's essential, but I would never want to be a loner." Abhishek called himself a people person. "I have my moments when I need my solitude. It is very important and essential for an actor. But not for a longer time. I need someone to talk to." Abhishek Bachchan's Married Life Abhishek married Aishwarya in a grand ceremony in 2007. They welcomed their daughter Aaradhya in 2011. The rift in Abhishke and Aishwarya's marriage grabbed the spotlight for many months. However, the couple put the rumours to rest by making several joint appearances in recent time. On the work front, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan was last seen in Mani Ratnam's Ponniyin Selvan: II. She reprised her role of Nandini in the second instalment of the film. Abhishek Bachchan was last seen in the Amazon Prime original Be Happy. In A Nutshell

Ranbir Kapoor-starrer Ramayana first look to be revealed today: Who plays whom, budget, release date revealed
Ramayana first look: Starring Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram, the first look of the mythological film, directed by Nitesh Tiwari, will be presented to the world on Thursday. Also starring Yash as Ravan, Sunny Deol as Hanuman, Ravie Dubey as Laxman and Sai Pallavi as Sita, the film has been in the making for the last two years. So far, the makers have not released any footage from the film and the three-minute preview set to be released on July 3 will be the audience's introduction to the world of Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana. Most of the cast members of the film have stayed quiet about their part in the film. However, Yash, who is also the producer of the film, previously spoke to The Hollywood Reporter India where he shared his interpretation of Ravan, and how he intends on playing the role of the antagonist of the epic. 'It's a very fascinating character. I wouldn't have done it for any other reason. In Ramayana, if you had asked me 'would you play any other character?' Probably not. For me, Ravan is the most exciting character to play as an actor so I really like the shades and the nuances of particular character. There's vast scope to present it in a very different way. As an actor, I am very excited. Hopefully, it's going to be a very unique approach to it,' he said. In June, Sunny also spoke about playing Hanuman in the film. He shared with Zoom, 'Nervousness and fear are always there, but that's the beauty of it because you have to find within you how will you take up the challenge.' He added, 'Ramayana has been made so many times, and when this film comes on the screen and the way all the actors are involved in it, I'm sure they'll do justice to the epic, and people will be satisfied and they will enjoy the film.' Arun Govil, who is best known for playing Lord Rama on the Doordarshan show Ramayan, will be playing the role of the Ram's father, Dashrath, in the film. It has been reported that Rakul Preet Singh will be seen as Surpanakha, and Vivek Oberoi will be seen playing Vidyutjihva, Surpanakha's husband. Actor Indira Krishnan will be seen playing Lord Ram's mother Kaushalya in the film. It has also been reported that Kajal Aggarwal will be seen as Mandodari, and Lara Dutta will play Kaikeyi in the film.

At the recent wrap of the film's first part, Ranbir and Ravie were seen celebrating with each other. An earlier report by Bollywood Hungama suggested that the film is being made on a budget of Rs 835 crore, making it the most expensive Indian film to date. Previously, another film based on the epic, Adipurush, was made on a budget of Rs 500 crore. The film failed at the box office and was severely criticised for its visual effects and dialogues, among other things. That film starred Prabhas, Kriti Sanon and Saif Ali Khan. Ramayana will be a two-part film. The first part is scheduled to release on Diwali 2026 and the second part will release on Diwali 2027. The makers are yet to confirm the exact release dates, which will be revealed in the announcement video.

This Tamil Actor Starred With Aishwarya Rai, Rajinikanth; Then Turned Taxi Driver After Flops
Last Updated: Mirza Abbas Ali's fall from superstardom to obscurity highlights the film industry's unpredictability and the resilience required to survive its highs and lows Popular South cinema actor Mirza Abbas Ali, once a superstar of the 90s, has faced significant highs and lows in his career. Known for his work alongside big stars like Aishwarya Rai and Rajinikanth, Abbas starred in many successful films during the early 90s. However, his career took a downturn, leading to financial struggles so severe that he couldn't afford rent. Abbas, who has acted in both South Indian cinema and Bollywood, made his Bollywood debut with ' Ansh: The Deadly Part '. Unfortunately, the film did not perform well, and Abbas even advised his fans against watching it, admitting it was not up to par. The early 2000s saw a string of flops for Abbas, which caused his career graph to plummet. Despite having worked with superstars like Aishwarya Rai and Rajinikanth, he quickly vanished from the acting scene. Quit Acting After Career Began To Decline Abbas became a well-known face in Tamil cinema with hits like 'Kadhal Desam', ' V.I.P. ', and ' Kandukondain Kandukondain '. Yet, as his career declined, he started taking on supporting roles before eventually disappearing from the industry altogether. He ultimately left films and moved abroad, settling in New Zealand, where he took up jobs as a mechanic and taxi driver to support his family. Struggled To Pay Rent In an old interview, Abbas recounted the hardships he faced, 'Initially, some of my films were successful, but then a series of flops left me without money to pay rent or even buy cigarettes. Out of self-respect, I initially resisted taking up other work, but eventually, I sought help from producer RB Chaudhary, who gave me a role in ' Pooveli '. However, I soon quit films as I no longer enjoyed it." Abbas's financial struggles were so dire that he had to use petrol station washrooms because he couldn't afford to use the facilities at construction sites. During the COVID-19 pandemic, he attempted to reconnect with fans through Zoom calls to offer some encouragement and support. 'I tried to motivate people by connecting with them over Zoom," he shared. First Published:
