'Taare Zameen Par' was a reply to 'Baghban'': Harsh Gujral's hilarious take wins over Aamir Khan
Stand-up comedian Harsh Gujral brought the house down during a recent performance featuring none other than Aamir Khan in the audience. Harsh delivered a hilarious punchline connecting two emotionally charged films—'Baghban' and 'Taare Zameen Par', in his trademark witty style.. Addressing Aamir Khan directly during the act, Harsh said, 'Jitna bhi bachcha samajh hai na, uski taraf se thank you… 'Taare Zameen Par' pata hai kya thi sir? 'Baghban' ka jawab thi…' Witty remark wins over Aamir Khan The witty remark drew thunderous applause and laughter from the crowd. The 'Taare Zameen Par' actor seems to have enjoyed the humor. For those who have not understood the joke, Harsh's joke cleverly contrasted the central themes of the two films. 'Baghban' (2003) is an emotional story about an elderly couple neglected by their grown-up children. The movie starred Amitabh Bachchan and Hema Malini in lead roles. Why 'Baghban' connects with 'Taare Zameen Par'? 'Taare Zameen Par' (2007) focuses on the struggles of a misunderstood child. The movie highlighted the importance of parental understanding and emotional support in a child's formative years. This is in contrast to what 'Baghban' was about. Harsh's comment essentially flips the generational dynamic—while 'Baghban' depicted a lack of empathy from children towards their parents, 'Taare Zameen Par', symbolized the emotional needs of children being finally acknowledged by parents. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với mức chênh lệch giá thấp nhất IC Markets Đăng ký Undo Netizens react The viral clip from the comedy event has struck a chord with fans across the internet.

Divya Dutta recalls kidnapping threat: ‘Har Jagah Aisa Hota Hai'
Bollywood actress Divya Dutta recently opened up about a terrifying chapter from her childhood during the turbulent Punjab insurgency of the 1980s. In a candid conversation with Hindi Rush, the actress revealed that she once received a kidnapping threat when she was young, claiming that the incident deeply impacted her and her family. Divya explained that during the time of unrest, some individuals took advantage of the prevailing fear and uncertainty. She revealed that a letter threatening to kidnap her, was sent to their home, leaving her family distressed. Despite the fear, Divya emphasised the power of community support in small towns helped her pull through. 'Chote sheheron mein support system bahut strong hota hai,' she remarked, adding that people often came together to help each other. Her mother, who was raising her alone, found strength in the close-knit bonds of the neighbourhood. 'Small town ki beauty yeh hoti hai ki aapke sab rishtedaar aapke aas pass hote hain. Meri mummy akeli thi, toh har koi unke saath khada tha... Jab aap akele hote huye bhi akele nahi hote, woh shayad ek khoobsurat neighbourhood hota hai,' Divya recalled, reflecting on the warmth and solidarity they received from their small-town community during that difficult time. Eventually, it turned out that the letter was a fake—sent by someone hoping to stir fear during already unstable times. Divya Dutta, for over three decades, has moved effortlessly between different film genres and roles. Whether it was her tender presence in 'Veer Zaara', her strength in 'Bhaag Milkha Bhaag', or the darker shades she explored in Badlapur, Divya never once played it safe. She's been part of ensemble hits like 'Delhi-6' and 'Baghban'. Divya Dutta spotted at a city event

'Blouse tight silna...': Hema Malini demanded this during Baghban to enhance chemistry with Amitabh Bachchan, said 'that touch...'
The audience thoroughly enjoyed the on-screen chemistry between Amitabh Bachchan and Hema Malini in Baghban. Their powerful performances earned widespread praise, and the duo was honoured with the Screen Award for Jodi No. 1. Both Bachchan and Malini also received nominations for Best Actor and Best Actress at the 49th Filmfare Awards. Both actors brought life to their characters in this film. Released in 2003, Hema and Amitabh played the role of parents of four children. Amitabh Bachchan's character was Raj Malhotra, and Hema played the role of Pooja Malhotra. Filmmaker Ravi Chopra's wife, Renu Chopra, recently shared an anecdote. She said that Hema was wholeheartedly attached to the project and was completely immersed in the character of Pooja. She even improvised in many scenes. In a recent interview with Pinkvilla, Renuka spoke about various aspects of the film. She also revealed how Hema Malini requested to have her blouse stitched much tighter than usual. Renuka explained that in one of the scenes where Amitabh Bachchan had to fasten Hema's blouse, the veteran actress wanted a certain look on her face to deliver the best emotional impact. During the conversation, Renuka said, 'There was a scene where she was getting ready, standing in front of a mirror. At that time, Raj comes from behind and, upon seeing her, says, 'Wow.' Hema asked me to stitch her blouse a bit tighter so that when Amit ji comes, he can fasten it tightly. She said, 'That touch would give me the look I want'—one that conveyed, 'He's touched me. After so many years of being married, it meant so much.' She is a very romantic person in real life.' Let us tell you, Pooja Malhotra's role was first offered to Tabu, but she refused because she was only 36 years old at that time and did not want to play the role of a mother of 4 children. Later, she worked with Amitabh Bachchan in 'Cheeni Kum'. Baghban also had a cameo by Salman Khan and Mahima Chaudhary. Salman's role was added especially for distributors so that the film could find a buyer. The film had a slow start, but word of mouth publicity changed its fortunes, and it became a superhit. The movie, made in Rs 10 crore, earned Rs 43.11 crore.
