'Ranbir Kapoor Kissed Me': Anuv Jain Recalls Meeting Actor, Calls Him 'Brilliant'
Singer Anuv Jain recently appeared on Ranveer Allahbadia's podcast, where he discussed Ranbir Kapoor's 2015 movie Tamasha and shared how the film changed his life. The singer admitted that when he first watched the film during his college days, he didn't like it. However, when he watched it again years later during his job, he understood the film's concept and fell in love with it.
'The character Ved is me. I was going to work, trying to make a difference, but I could see it was not going to happen, as my destiny and strengths were better applied elsewhere, like music. Main bohot miserable tha life mein. Dusri baar jab maine movie dekhi thi, I was contemplating changing my career to music. I saw that movie again, and the next day I put down my papers. It changed my life. I am not a crier, but when I saw Ranbir's character come to work, maine udhase se rona shuru kiya till the end. I was just crying because I could draw so many parallels. It changed my life," Anuv Jain said.
The 'Husn' singer further recalled his recent meeting with Ranbir Kapoor. He shared that the actor was very warm and told him that he and his actress wife, Alia Bhatt, often play his music at home. 'He is a tall guy, and he kissed me on my head. He said, 'Bro, I am so happy that you feel that way about the movie.' That made my day. He is my favourite actor. Very few times do you meet an artist who legitimately changes your life, and through his acting, he changed mine," he added.
Anuv Jain said that he spent a few minutes not just with Ranbir but with Alia too. 'I hope I get a chance to sing something with them. They are brilliant actors," he shared.
Anuv Jain is known for songs like Baarishein, Husn, and Alag Aasmaan.

Nandotsav rituals mark Lord Krishnas birth at temples in Mathura, Vrindavan
Mathura (UP), Aug 17 (PTI) Temples in Mathura and Vrindavan on Sunday reverberated with festivities as they celebrated Nandotsav, a celebration marking the joy on Lord Krishna's birth held a day after Janmashtami. Gyanendra Kishor Goswami, a priest at the Banke Bihari temple in Vrindavan, said expressions of joy form an integral part of devotion in the Brijbhoomi. 'A mixture of curd and turmeric is used to symbolise infant Krishna's mischief. In a ritual known as 'dadhikandha', this mixture is playfully thrown on the devotees," Goswami said. During the celebrations, toys, clothes, jewellery and money were flung from the sanctum sanctorum for the devotees to collect as 'prasad', a tradition commemorating Nand Baba's delight at Lord Krishna's birth, he added. Earlier in the day, a 'Mangl Aarti' was performed at the Banke Bihari temple after the ceremonial 'Mahaabhishek'. At the Shri Krishna Janmasthan in Mathura, the Bhagwat Bhavan was decorated as Nand Bhawan, which echoed with chants of 'Nand ghar anand bhayo, jai Kanhaiya Lal ki' along with devotional songs. Kapil Sharma, secretary of the Shri Krishna Janmasthan Seva Sansthan, said toys, clothes, sweets and utensils were distributed among the devotees as prasad. Similar rituals were held at Vrindavan's Sapt Devalaya. At the Dwarkadhish temple, the deities were adorned as Nand Baba and Ma Yashoda. 'The festival reflects the joy of Krishna's parents at his birth. Items are distributed to the devotees on this occasion to share the happiness," Rakesh Tiwari, the temple's media and legal advisor, said.

King Charles Seen Driving Queen Camilla To Church In Scotland In First Summer Outing
Last Updated: Crathie Kirk is the Royal Family's usual place of worship when they stay at Balmoral. The King and Queen are in Scotland for their yearly holiday. King Charles and Queen Camilla were pictured at Balmoral for the first time this summer, with the King driving her to a church service on Sunday. The Queen sat beside him in the passenger seat as they went to Crathie Kirk church, which is near the castle. Charles looked relaxed as he waved to people while driving his Audi Q8 e-tron electric SUV to the service. Camilla smiled as she joined him in greeting the public and photographers. The King and Queen dressed smartly for the Sunday service. King Charles, 76, wore a camel coat over his usual suit and tie. Queen Camilla wore a stylish hat with green and black feathers that matched her outfit, GB News reported. Crathie Kirk is the Royal Family's usual place of worship when they stay at Balmoral. The King and Queen are in Scotland for their yearly holiday. The trip usually starts in August, but Charles's holiday was delayed because he was leading the Victory over Japan Day commemorations. VJ Day, observed on August 15, marks the end of World War Two worldwide. On Friday, the King and Queen attended a ceremony at the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire to mark the day. They were joined by Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, members of VJ associations, military personnel, and senior politicians for the national remembrance service. The King laid a wreath in honour of those who died and held a two-minute silence. While at the event, Camilla was moved to tears when a 105-year-old war veteran paid tribute to Charles in his speech. Yavar Abbas saluted 'my brave king" as he added a personal message. He spoke directly to King Charles and praised him for attending despite his ongoing cancer treatment. The veteran also said that the King's late grandfather, King George VI, would have been proud of him. King George VI, who was Queen Elizabeth II's father, struggled with lung cancer for years before passing away in 1952. view comments First Published: August 17, 2025, 22:57 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Sharing a still from the movie, Kiara thanked audiences, 'Your love speaks the loudest… seeing your smiles, your cheers, your excitement fills our hearts with joy… #War2 in cinemas." Box Office Battle Despite facing tough competition from Rajinikanth's Coolie, War 2 has proven its might at the box office, raking in ₹142 crore within three days of release. The film is expected to cross the ₹150 crore mark today, August 17. Trade analysts, however, note that the film's 'real test" will come with its Monday hold. The Big Picture Audiences have praised the film for its massive scale, pulsating action, and star power. Hrithik Roshan has been hailed for his finesse, Jr NTR for his raw intensity, and Kiara Advani for a striking debut in the action-heavy franchise. Director Ayan Mukerji has also been commended for mounting blockbuster set pieces while keeping the narrative energetic. With star power, spectacle, and fan frenzy working in its favor, War 2 looks set to hold its ground as one of the biggest event films of the year.
