Abhijeet Bhattacharya isn't bothered by Chunari Chunari remake as it wasn't a great song: 'Jaldi gaao, bhaago studio se'
Singer Abhijeet Bhattacharya, much to the disappointment of fans, has said that his hit song Chunari Chunari "was not a great song, never". Speaking with Hindustan Times, Abhijeet categorised it as a "jaldi gaao aur bhaago studio se (sing fast and run away from the studio)" song. He also added that he never considered the track as one of his "great songs". (Also Read | Sushmita Sen reacts to her baby niece enjoying Chunari Chunari on TV, Charu Asopa Sen shares video. Watch) The singer said, "For me personally, Chunari Chunari was not a great song, never. It was one of those 'jaldi gaao aur bhaago studio se (sing fast and run away from the studio)' song. I never count it among my great songs. This was one of those where the makers just wanted the lyrics to become a hit somehow. For the past 25 years I have heard it being played at functions, parties, and would always think, 'What is it about the song, there was nothing that I remember from the time I sang it'. But I do realise it has become iconic for fans.' Composed by Anu Malik, the song is from the 1999 film Biwi No 1. It was originally picturised on Salman Khan and Sushmita Sen. Recently, a remake of the song for the upcoming film Hai Jawaani Toh Ishq Hona Hai, starring Varun Dhawan, Pooja Hegde, and Mrunal Thakur, surfaced. In the same interview, when asked if the remake version of the song bothers him, he said, 'Mujhe farak nahi padhta itni chhoti cheez se (I don't get bothered by such trivial things). I don't get involved much. In the market, copies are sold more than the original. Only great people know the value of the original. Tuchhi cheez mein main padhta hi nahi hoon (I don't get involved in petty matters).' Abhijeet has sung many hit songs for films, including Baadshah, Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge, Rakshak, Darr, Josh, Dhadkan, Raaz, Pyar To Hona Hi Tha, Khoobsurat, Na Tum Jano Na Hum, Kaho Na Pyar Hai, Tum Bin, and Jodi No 1.

When Twinkle Khanna Admitted Parents Dimple Kapadia And Rajesh Khanna's Fame Helped Her To Get First Break
New Delhi: Twinkle Khanna, who wears many hats, wanted to be an accountant at one point of time. Coming from a film family and being born to superstar parents, she was not a stranger to "fame". But she didn't have a plan to become an actor. In a throwback interview with Lehren, Twinkle recalled how her parents' fame helped her to get the first break. "It supports me in a way that a lot of people think twice before acting fresh with me. I got my first break easily, but after that you are on your own like everybody else," the actor said. Twinkle continued, "I can't be compared to them. There is a long way to go. And, you are talking about careers which lasted for 10-20 years, I have just begun. Would you ask an actor after 5 years of being in the industry if they can compete with Amitabh Bachchan? They have been around for a long time and it will take me that much time." When she was asked, "How do you feel when people refer to you as a superstar's daughter?", Twinkle replied, "I am very proud of what they have done, I think it's a very big achievement." Talking about how she landed up in films, Twinkle Khanna said, "I have grown up among actors since childhood, hence I was never attracted towards fame. I just felt it was coming to me. I hadn't even thought of becoming an actress back then. I wanted to be an accountant. "But, I just felt that let's see if I find joy in this (acting). After about two years, I really started liking what I was doing, so I continued. If I wouldn't have been able to become one, then I would have been a physiotherapist. I never studied it, but I have a lot of interest in it. I read a lot of things and I can tell people about common injuries." Twinkle Khanna made her film debut opposite Bobby Deol in Barsaat (1995). Later, she went on to act in films like Baadshah, Jab Pyaar Kisise Hota Hai, Zulmi, Baadshah, Chal Mere Bhai, to name a few. She built up a new fanbase with her nuanced writing skills. She has books like Mrs Funnybones, The Legend of Lakshmi Prasad, to her credit. She's also a producer.

When Twinkle Khanna said ‘my whole life is a joke' and called herself an unserious person: ‘A lot of funny things happen to me'
Actor-turned-author Twinkle Khanna has long been known for her wit and sharp sense of humour. While many today can't help but chuckle at Twinkle's funny takes on everyday life, her charm and humour were just as present during her time as an actor in the film industry. An old clip of Twinkle has resurfaced, in which she calls her life 'a joke' and describes herself as an 'unserious' person. Speaking to Lehren once, Twinkle opened up about her fondness for doing more comedy films, as she enjoys bringing that side of her personality to the big screen. She said, 'I like comedy because in real life I am not a very serious person. I am clumsy and bumbling around, so yeah, I think my whole life is a joke. So I like doing comedy. A lot of funny things happen to me, or I at least look at them in a funny way, so I like to portray that side of me. I also look like a delicate person, but I am not. I am very tough.' In an earlier interaction with Divya Jain, Twinkle also spoke about her parents — veteran actors Dimple Kapadia and Rajesh Khanna — not letting her follow her own path and instead encouraging her to pursue a career in acting. 'Like many people here, I'm sure, whatever their parents did… if they had a mithai shop, you became a mithaiwala. It was as simple as that. My parents were very keen, my mother was very keen. I had applied for my CA entrance exam, because that's what I wanted to do, strangely. And my mother told me, 'This is the only time that you can become an actress, and later you can do what you like.'' Twinkle's career in films was short-lived. She made her debut with Barsaat in 1995 and went on to star in films like Jab Pyaar Kisise Hota Hai, International Khiladi, Baadshah, Mela, and more. Her last film was Love Ke Liye Kuch Bhi Karega, which was released in 2001. After quitting acting, Twinkle turned to writing and authored several bestselling books, including Mrs Funnybones, The Legend of Lakshmi Prasad, Pyjamas Are Forgiving, and Welcome to Paradise. Though she bid adieu to acting, Twinkle continued her association with cinema by producing films featuring her husband, actor Akshay Kumar. These include Pad Man, Khiladi 786 and Patiala House.

So I can't tell you but I can assure you it will entertain you, you will have fun. I've used many we have run out of Shah Rukh Khan as Shah Rukh Khan in King. That was a bit of a show-off.'
