Why Reem Shaikh Called Abhishek Kumar ‘Besharam' On Bharti Singh's Podcast
Last Updated: Reem Shaikh opened up about her experience on Laughter Chefs Season 2, her co-contestants and even shared her thoughts about Bigg Boss. Reem Shaikh has become one of the rising stars in the television industry. Starting her journey as a child artist, she has grown into a well-recognised name on Indian TV. Reem is currently entertaining audiences on Laughter Chefs Season 2, a celebrity cooking reality show where popular faces from television come together for fun-filled kitchen challenges and light-hearted moments. Recently, she appeared on the Bharti TV podcast hosted by Bharti Singh and Haarsh Limbachiyaa, where the actress opened up about her experience on the show, her co-contestants and even shared her thoughts about Bigg Boss. While chatting with Bharti and Haarsh, the topic of Bigg Boss came up especially the recent buzz that the show might not return for a new season. Sharing her views, Reem said, 'I've heard Bigg Boss isn't coming back. Right? No Bigg Boss feels strange, right? It's like there used to be a house with four rooms, and now two are empty. Although, honestly, we only used to watch it when we or someone we knew was on the show. I've watched it since childhood. I used to enjoy it. But once you're inside the show, once you get to understand a character, then you start wondering what they'll do next." 'I used to genuinely enjoy Bigg Boss as an audience member. But in the last 2-3 years, I don't know what happened," she added. After Reem shared her thoughts, Bharti playfully reminded her that most of the contestants from the last 2–3 years of Bigg Boss are now working with them on Laughter Chefs. This made everyone laugh and Reem responded with a joke, saying, 'No Abhishek was hurt" referring to her co-contestant Abhishek Kumar. This led to a fun discussion about Abhishek Kumar and Samarth Jurel who are known for their cheerful nature on the sets. Bharti and Haarsh talked about how both of them openly compliment the girls without any hesitation. Reem agreed with them and shared that Abhishek often compliments her directly. She further jokingly said, 'Aur itna besharam hai, abhi mujhe muh pe bol raha hoga, baad mein Nia ko same cheez jaake bolega (And he is so shameless, he'll compliment me now and later say the same thing to Nia)." She even mentioned that she once asked Abhishek whether he ever feels awkward about complimenting so many people. Then, Haarsh jokingly suggested that Abhishek should give compliments to one person at a time and take a little break in between. Everyone had a good laugh, and Bharti added that both Abhishek and Samarth are very cute. Talking about Laughter Chefs, Reem also revealed how much the show means to her. She said that even when she is going through something emotional, being on the set feels like a 'therapy." First Published: June 02, 2025, 11:50 IST

Sajid Khan Feels Anyone Can Do A Film Now: ‘Hero Bahut Kam Bache Hai Apne Paas'
Last Updated: Sajid Khan lamented Bollywood's decline in true "heroes" like Amitabh Bachchan and Dharmendra, praising South Indian cinema for maintaining the hero concept. Sajid Khan is feeling a little nostalgic, and maybe a bit disappointed, about where Bollywood is heading these days. In a candid chat with Bharti Singh and Haarsh Limbachiyaa on their YouTube channel Bharti TV, Sajid opened up about how the idea of a 'hero" has pretty much faded from Hindi films. He said it like it is: 'Hero bahut kam bache hain apne paas. There are no heroes in today's time. There are leads." For him, the actors we used to admire, the ones who carried a certain weight, style, and responsibility on screen, have now been replaced by just actors doing lead roles. Sajid took us back to the days of Amitabh Bachchan, Dharmendra, Vinod Khanna, and Mithun Chakraborty. Those were the real Bollywood heroes, he believes. Now, things have changed to the point where 'Nowadays, anyone can do a film because the value of a hero has diminished." Sajid feels that down South, the idea of a hero still matters. Their heroes get grand entry scenes, big moments, and most importantly, they have to be morally clean in the story. That's still respected there. As he put it, 'The ones who used to be heroes are now just leads." And he made a great observation too: 'The term 'super-lead' doesn't exist, but the word 'superhero' does," pointing to the kind of aura true heroes used to have. Sajid Khan took a trip down memory lane as he spoke about how things have changed in the film industry. He pointed out that back in the day, actors didn't need six-pack abs or gym-built bodies to leave an impression. Stars like Vinod Khanna and Amitabh Bachchan, he said, weren't ripped — but their expressions, that fire in their eyes, did all the talking. He credited Salman Khan for kickstarting the gym craze in Bollywood after Maine Pyaar Kiya, calling it the point where having a sculpted body became the new norm. But Sajid made it clear that muscles alone don't define a hero. What really matters, he said, is the intensity in an actor's eyes. To explain further, Sajid talked about Ranbir Kapoor in Animal. Even without the bulked-up look, Sajid feels Ranbir would've made just as big an impact — because the emotion in his eyes was so strong. He also mentioned Sunny Deol in Gadar 2, saying that Sunny didn't have a gym body, but still looked powerful and believable on screen. ' First Published:

'Hero nahi hai aaj ki date mein': Sajid Khan says Bollywood has lost its real heroes, finds true heroism in the South
In a candid and animated chat on Bharti TV with comedian Bharti Singh and writer-host Haarsh Limbachiyaa, filmmaker Sajid Khan dropped a truth bomb that's got cinephiles and social media buzzing: Bollywood, he claims, no longer has heroes—just lead actors. With his signature wit and no-filter commentary, the director of hits like Heyy Babyy and Housefull offered a nostalgic yet piercing critique of the evolution—or perhaps dilution—of the Hindi film hero. #Operation Sindoor India-Pakistan Clash Live Updates| Pak moving troops to border areas? All that's happening Why India chose to abstain instead of 'No Vote' against IMF billion-dollar funding to Pakistan How Pak's jihadi general Munir became trapped in his own vice 'Heroism is extinct in Bollywood' Sajid didn't mince words when comparing the golden age of cinema to the present. 'Hero nahi hai aaj ki date mein. Leads hain,' he asserted, drawing a clear distinction between the classic 'hero' and today's star. According to him, the term 'hero' in its true cinematic essence has all but disappeared from Bollywood, surviving only in the grand, morally upright, slow-mo-entry world of South Indian cinema. His lament was not about acting skills or popularity, but about ethos. 'The concept of a hero only really remains in the South,' he said. 'That's why their entry is dhamakedaar. They can't take a wrong step on screen because they are heroes—heroes who represent society's hopes, not just its fantasies.' His point struck deeper when he remarked, 'That's why we've never heard the word 'super-lead', only 'superhero.''

'Earlier heroes didn't need a good body,' he said. 'The action was in the eyes, not the thighs.' He took a playful yet pointed dig at today's gym-obsessed generation of actors. 'Now it's mandatory to have six-packs,' Sajid quipped, recalling how Salman Khan had once stunned the industry with his chiseled look in Maine Pyaar Kiya . But for all the abs and aesthetic perfection, Sajid argued, what's truly missing is the intensity . 'Ranbir Kapoor's training for Animal was impressive, but even without the body, his eyes carried the role,' he said, making a case for emotional authenticity over physical optics.

In contrast, he questioned whether Bollywood's current obsession with aesthetics might be overshadowing the raw emotional power that once defined its heroes. Whether you see Sajid Khan's views as a much-needed reality check or a sentimental throwback to an era gone by, one thing's for sure: the lines between 'lead actor' and 'hero' have blurred—and maybe it's time for Bollywood to find its moral muscle again. Because as Sajid aptly put it, 'Anyone can do a film now, but not everyone can be a hero.'
