Salman Khan in Talks to Replace Amitabh Bachchan as Host of Kaun Banega Crorepati
Salman Khan is in talks to become the new host of Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC), taking over from Amitabh Bachchan. Bachchan may leave the show due to personal reasons. Reports say talks are going well, and Salman Khan is being considered to host the popular quiz show, which airs on Sony Entertainment Television. Khan has experience hosting shows like Dus Ka Dum and Bigg Boss, so he knows how to work with the audience. His popularity, especially in small towns, makes him a good choice. One source said, 'Salman Khan is well-known and good at hosting shows. If he hosts, the show will change a lot.' Kaun Banega Crorepati has had other hosts before. Shah Rukh Khan hosted it for one season, but Amitabh Bachchan returned and has been hosting it for over 20 years. The production team is still figuring out the details, like how much Salman Khan will be paid and when filming will happen. If they agree, Khan may start filming later this year. He is also preparing for his new movie, which will start filming in July. Salman will likely also host Bigg Boss again. Neither Salman Khan nor Sony Entertainment has made an official announcement yet.

‘Shy' Sunny Deol refused to shoot a dance sequence in Shimla, makers were forced to create the set in a studio to avoid crowd: Tiku Talsania
Sunny Deol is widely known for his 'angry young man' persona with films like Damini, Gadar, and Arjun Pandit. However, according to his co-stars, the actor is an extremely shy person in reality. In a recent interview, veteran actor Tiku Talsania recalled a time when the Gadar star was too shy to shoot a dance sequence amid a crowd, forcing makers of the film to create a set within a studio for the same. In an interview with Lallantop, Tiku said, 'He had to shoot a dance sequence at Shimla's mall road. The place was suddenly crowded with public, making the actor extremely conscious. Looking at the crowd, Sunny told the makers, 'Aaj nahi, baad mein karenge (Let's shoot it some other day)'. And then they recreated mall road somewhere in a studio. He is a very shy person you know. He doesn't like that kind of an adulation and all.' Long time ago, on Salman Khan's Dus Ka Dum, Sunny Deol had briefly spoken about his struggles with dancing. The episode also featured Sunny's father Dharmendra when the veteran actor said, 'When it was my turn to dance in films, I used to feel nervous.

Before Meena Kumari or Hema Malini, Dharmendra's heart belonged to someone else: A tale of innocent love lost to 1947 India- Pakistan partition
Before Dharmendra became Bollywood's macho man and heartthrob of millions, he was just a shy schoolboy nursing a silent crush. And no, it wasn't Meena Kumari or Hema Malini who first stole his heart. It was a girl named Hamida — a name not found in gossip columns or film magazines, but one that left a lasting impression on the young Dharam Singh Deol. This forgotten tale of love came to light when the veteran actor appeared on the show Dus Ka Dum . Amidst the glitz and glamour, Dharmendra took a nostalgic detour into his childhood and opened up about his first-ever love story, one that began in the narrow lanes of Punjab and ended with the painful Partition of 1947. Hamida was no film star. She was his senior in school and the daughter of one of his teachers. Their interactions were innocent — she helped him with his studies, he handed over his notebook with trembling hands, and in those fleeting moments, a bond began to form. For Dharmendra, she was the embodiment of grace and charm, someone who unknowingly taught him the meaning of first love. In true filmy style, Dharmendra once proposed to Hamida with a heartfelt shayari, a poetic confession of love. Though he didn't share the exact couplet, the twinkle in his eye and softness in his voice spoke volumes about what she meant to him. But fate, as dramatic as any Bollywood script, had other plans. The Partition turned his love story into a memory. Hamida and her family moved to Pakistan, leaving behind a heartbroken Dharmendra. He never saw her again, but her memory stayed with him — untouched by time, wrapped in nostalgia. Over the years, Dharmendra would go on to become a superstar, romancing leading ladies on-screen and making headlines for his relationships off it — especially his marriages to Prakash Kaur and later, Hema Malini. Yet, Hamida's name remains special, not because she was a celebrity, but because she was his first love — pure, unspoken, and unforgettable. In a world obsessed with starry romances, this lesser-known story reminds us that even legends have a soft, sentimental side — and sometimes, their greatest love stories are the ones that never made it to the big screen.
