Triptii Dimri on missing out on action in Dhadak 2 and beating up Siddhant Chaturvedi on the side
While Dhadak 2 is being touted as a more intense, layered, and emotionally rich sequel to the 2018 romantic hit, it seems the mood on set wasn't always all serious. Actress Triptii Dimri, who stars in the upcoming film alongside
Siddhant Chaturvedi
.
During an exclusive interview with ETimes she opened up about the behind-the-scenes antics that brought some unexpected levity to the shoot — including an impromptu side-project she jokingly calls Dhadak 3.

In a candid and humorous revelation, Triptii shared how she and co-star Aditya Thackeray often found themselves on the sidelines while Siddhant was busy filming high-octane action scenes. "Siddhant used to have all these action scenes for the film," she said, recalling the slight envy — or as she calls it, 'FOMO' — that she and Aditya felt.
"So me and my friend Aditya Thackeray — he's also playing a friend in the film — we used to feel left out.
"
What started as harmless banter soon evolved into full-on improvisation. "We were like, 'Let's just make our own film,'" Triptii laughed. "We would go in a corner and start making our own action film where we were fighting, pretending to shoot scenes." The funniest twist? Siddhant, the hero of the actual film, would sometimes join their mock scenes — only to end up on the losing side.

"Then he would join in, and we'd beat him up!" she joked.
But not everyone on set was amused — at least not at first. Triptii recalled how director Shazia Iqbal would walk in on their spontaneous mini-movie-making with complete confusion. "She'd be like, 'What the hell is going on? We are doing a serious scene here!'" Triptii said, grinning. Their response? "We told her, 'We're making Dhadak 3! Why haven't you given us any action scenes?'"

Khushi Kapoor's viral 'Ahaan Panday Over Aryan Khan' interview resurfaces; netizens say, ‘If she was in Saiyaara…'
Ahaan Panday, cousin to Ananya Panday, starred in 'Saiyaara', marking his impressive debut. In 2019, Khushi Kapoor chose him over Aryan Khan as her ideal co-star. Khushi debuted in 2023 with 'The Archies'. Both await new projects, while Aryan Khan preps for Netflix's 'The Ba**ds of Bollywood'. Rising star Ahaan Panday , cousin to Ananya Panday and nephew of Chunky Panday, is now regarded as one of the industry's youngest actors. His rise is largely attributed to the impressive debut he delivered in the film 'Saiyaara', helmed by Mohit Suri and produced by YRF. The movie also marked Aneet Padda's entry into Bollywood. Inspired by his rapid ascent, many star kids now express interest in working with Ahaan. Interestingly, Khushi Kapoor , sister of Janhvi Kapoor , recognized his acting abilities long ago and picked him as her top choice among emerging talents. Khushi Kapoor's 2019 talk show appearance In 2019, before entering the film industry herself, Khushi appeared with her sister Janhvi on Neha Dhupia's talk show. When asked to pick a debut co-star from a list featuring Aryan Khan , Ahaan Panday, and Meezaan Jaaferi, Khushi remarked, 'I have only seen Ahaan act out of the three of them, so I guess it would be like, the safest option.' Janhvi, who had already debuted with Dhadak in 2018, offered a different take, saying, 'I would want her to debut opposite Meezaan.' Khushi Kapoor's debut and netizens react Khushi Kapoor made her acting debut in 2023 with 'The Archies', starring alongside Suhana Khan, Amitabh Bachchan's grandson Agastya Nanda, and her rumoured boyfriend Vedang Raina.

'I had tears in my eyes': Salman Khan opens up on what happened on the sets of Maine Pyar Kiya
Salman Khan has been a part of Indian cinema for over three decades, but even he remembers the exact moment when he truly felt like an actor. In an interview with Hello! Indo-Arabia, Salman looked back at the emotional turning point that came during the shoot of Maine Pyar Kiya . He was just 18 at the time and filming the now-iconic song Kabootar Ja Ja Ja when it suddenly hit him — this was his role, his moment, and his future. 'I had tears in my eyes,' he shared, admitting that until then, he'd always imagined stars like Jackie Shroff or Anil Kapoor in such roles. That was the day he finally believed he belonged. Interestingly, Maine Pyar Kiya almost had a different leading man. Actor Deepak Tijori recently revealed in an interview with Bollywood Bubble that he was one of the two final contenders for the role of Prem. While he was initially told he got the part, the final decision came down to one unexpected factor — charm. Director Sooraj Barjatya later explained to Deepak that the women in his family were instantly drawn to Salman's boyish appeal and on-screen innocence. While Deepak was praised for his performance, he agreed with the reasoning and gracefully stepped aside. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Indonesia: Unsold Sofas Prices May Surprise You (Prices May Surprise You) Sofas | Search Ads Search Now Undo Now, decades later, Salman is gearing up for a very different kind of role — one rooted in real-life heroism. His upcoming film, Battle of Galwan , will depict the intense and deadly 2020 clash between Indian and Chinese soldiers in Ladakh's Galwan Valley.
