Rohit Purohit, who is currently essaying the role of Armaan in Rajan Shahi's popular and long-running television show Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, recently had the chance to shoot a special dance sequence to the iconic romantic track "Janam Dekh Lo" from the hit film Veer-Zaara, starring Shah Rukh Khan and Preity Zinta. This opportunity was both exciting and emotionally significant for Rohit, who has always admired Shah Rukh Khan, especially for his timeless romantic roles. Sharing his thoughts on performing the song, Rohit said, "I love Shah Rukh Khan and his films. When I came to know that I have to perform the romantic song of Shah Rukh Khan with Abhira (played by Samridhi Shukla), I was excited. I ensured that I add my own style and not copy SRK." He emphasized that while the influence of SRK is undeniable and inspiring, it was important for him to bring a unique flavor to the performance rather than imitate. He consciously worked on presenting the emotion of the song in his own way, staying true to his character Armaan and the context of the storyline. Rohit has been an admirer of Shah Rukh Khan since his early days and has a special fondness for films like Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, Veer-Zaara, and Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, all of which featured unforgettable romantic tracks that are still cherished today. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 2025 Top Trending local enterprise accounting software [Click Here] Esseps Learn More Undo His admiration for SRK's charm and intensity is clear, yet Rohit's professionalism ensured that he channeled the emotion with individuality rather than replication.

Kamal Haasan confesses that ‘greed for money' stopped him from learning. Actor says could have ‘learned more'
Kamal Haasan , known for his unmatched versatility in Indian cinema , has worn many hats over his 65-year-long career—actor, writer, director, producer, choreographer, and even a trained makeup artist. But now, in a strikingly honest revelation, the iconic performer says there's something he stopped doing somewhere along the way: learning. In an interview with PTI, Haasan admitted that his avarice—his own word—for money got in the way of his thirst for knowledge. 'I like money. I want it to come to me,' he told PTI, explaining why he no longer sought out new mentors or teachers. 'Because of my work schedule, I stopped seeking more gurus. I think my avarice for money stopped me from learning. Otherwise, I would have learned more.' The 69-year-old legend reflected candidly on how fame and fortune can gradually distance artists from genuine growth. He explained that while cinema allows one to reach a vast audience, it also removes the artist from the direct experience of appreciation or critique. Over time, this disconnect can lead to arrogance, as feedback is filtered through media reports or fan interactions rather than real-time applause or honest criticism. The result, he suggested, is a skewed perception of success and a growing detachment from reality.
