Aamir Khan tried to convince producer Aditya Chopra to make changes to Thugs of Hindostan for 8 months, didn't like the film: ‘But Adi was very confident'
When Aamir Khan appeared in YRF's big budget film Thugs of Hindostan with Amitabh Bachchan, Katrina Kaif and Fatima Sana Shaikh, it was promoted as the most anticipated film of the year. Releasing on the festival of Diwali in 2018, it got a massive opening of Rs 50.75 crore, which was the highest opening for a Hindi film until then, but soon after that, the film fell on its face and was rejected by the audience. So much so that Aamir had to take full responsibility for the film's failure in public. Now, Aamir has shared that he was not happy with the film and was well aware that it would get rejected by the audience and he even tried to convince the producer, Aditya Chopra, and director, Vijay Krishna Acharya, for eight months to make changes, but they didn't budge. Aamir, in a chat shared on Zee Music Company's YouTube channel, shared, 'What happened with Thugs was… I didn't like the film myself. Now, enough years have passed and I really respect Adi (Aditya) and Victor (Vijay) but sometimes, there are creative differences. When the film was made, Adi and Victor really liked it, the way it was made, but I didn't like it at all.' Aamir added that the film had gone wrong on paper itself and shared, 'I felt that structurally, we went wrong with the writing and I tried to tell them about it but they were confident that the film is good. I tried to convince them for around 8 months but ultimately, they are the director and producer so whatever they decision they took, I accepted it because I have to follow what they are saying.' ALSO READ | Kesari Chapter 2: Akshay Kumar's courtroom drama accidentally exposes Bollywood's handling of sexual misconduct He recalled that weeks before the release of the film, he was sleeping like a baby, which was very unlike him as he had a tendency to lose sleep before a major release. When his then wife, Kiran Rao, questioned him about the same, he shared with her, he recalled telling her, 'I said I have no anxiety about this film because I know this won't work and I believe if I don't like it, why should I expect the audience to like it? So when Thugs didn't work, I didn't feel bad because I didn't like it too.' After the film's failure, Aamir, in a press conference said, 'I take the full responsibility of Thugs not working with the audience. You can be sure that we tried our level best but somewhere we went wrong. There are a few people who liked the film. I would like to thank them. We realise that most of the people did not like the film. I want to apologise to fans that I couldn't entertain them the way they wanted, though we did try our best.'

‘Amitabh mera tha, mera hai, aur mera hi rahega': When Jaya Bachchan reportedly confronted Rekha over their relationship; how emotional ownership complicates love
In emotionally complex relationships, especially when a third person becomes involved, it is difficult to find the right way to set boundaries. Writer and film expert Hanif Zaveri recently revisited the widely speculated dynamic between Amitabh Bachchan, Jaya Bachchan, and Rekha in an episode of the Meri Saheli podcast. Zaveri said that the bond between Amitabh and Rekha began during the shooting of their film Do Anjaane. He said, 'Woh log bahut kareeb aa gaye aur pata nahin kaise ek doosre ke pyaar mein pad gaye. Lekin yeh 100% tha ki dono ek doosre ko chahne lage the (They grew very close, and somehow, they fell in love with each other. But one thing was certain — they had truly started to care for one another).' He also claimed that the course of their relationship shifted dramatically after Amitabh's near-fatal injury on the set of Coolie. 'After Amitabh Bachchan's accident on the set of Coolie, Jaya Bachchan played a very important role, staying by his side at the hospital 24/7, taking care of him, meeting with the doctors… When Amitabh saw all this, certain things naturally began to shift, and he started drifting away from Rekha,' he recalled, speaking in Hindi. Zaveri recalled Jaya's bold step of confronting Rekha. 'It is said that Jaya Bachchan once invited Rekha over for lunch at her home. Uss waqt Amitabh Bachchan ghar mein the nahi. Unko achhe se khana-wana khilaya gaya, wahaan ki bahut saari gupshup hui. Aur gupshup karne ke baad, jab last mein jab jaane ka time aaya toh Jaya Bachchan ne Rekha se kaha: 'Dekho, Amitabh mera tha, mera hai, aur mera hi rahega' (At the time, Amitabh Bachchan wasn't at home. Rekha was served a lovely meal, and the two engaged in a long, friendly chat. But as Rekha was about to leave, Jaya reportedly said to her: 'Look, Amitabh was mine, is mine, and will always be mine.').' Counselling psychologist Athul Raj tells 'In love triangles, the emotional urge to confront the third person is often strong. It comes from fear, betrayal, and a deep need to reclaim a sense of emotional control. But more often than not, what needs to be confronted is not just the third person — it's the emotional rupture between the original two people in the relationship.' If someone does decide to speak to the third person, Raj explains, it's essential that it's not done from a place of desperation or emotional collapse. 'Anger is valid. Hurt is valid. But no conversation should happen to control the other person's presence. It needs to come from clarity — not chaos.' Jaya Bachchan told Rekha to back off at the end of their meeting. Raj, reflecting on the same, says, 'Many of us are taught to equate love with permanence. In Indian families, especially, ideas like 'ek baar mera hai toh hamesha mera hai (once mine, always mine)' are common. But relationships are not objects to own. Emotional ownership — this belief that someone should always remain yours — can come from unprocessed grief, insecurity, or past abandonment. It often means that the person is holding on to the idea of the relationship more than its actual, present truth.'
