Avantika Malik finally breaks silence on divorce with Imran Khan, describes it as 'death': 'I have been through clinical depression and...'
She added, 'I thought I would die, and I have been through clinical depression, where I wanted to die, so, I didn't think I would be sitting here I could have never imagined.' read more Imran Khan, who delivered charming films in the 2000s like Jaane Tu… Ya Jaane Na, Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu, I Hate Luv Storys, and the cult-classic dark comedy Delhi Belly, finally opened up his divorce from ex-wife Avantika Malik and shared that their relationship began when they were teenagers but the interaction and habits remained the same and didn't grow with them. This was last year. Now, Avantika Malik, in an interview with Nayandeep Rakshit, has spoken about her feelings when the divorce happened. She said, 'I was so afraid that I would not be able to look after myself. Being alone felt like death. I was so scared, I thought I won't be able to do anything on my own.' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD She added, 'I thought I would die, and I have been through clinical depression, where I wanted to die, so, I didn't think I would be sitting here I could have never imagined.' Avantika continued, 'I would have found it very difficult to walk away and to say this is it. It is mostly because of the kind of human being I am. I am extremely emotional. Another reason is that because my parents marriage didn't work, I thought I always had this pressure to make mine work. I was too adamant that what was my reality as a child cannot be my reality as an adult. That fear was too deep to walk away.' What Imran Khan said I entered this relationship when I was very young. I was 19, and in all good faith and good intention. But as is sometimes the case with these kinds of long-term relationships, particularly when you start at a very young age, a lot of the interpersonal dynamics and patterns get set in how you were as a teenager and as you grow, perhaps, I think all of those did not grow and evolve enough and in some way, we were not supporting or empowering each other to be the healthiest version of ourselves

Prateik Smita Patil says growing up he wondered ‘Kaun hai maa, baap?' Recalls facing ‘trauma' because of Raj Babbar, Smita Patil
Smita Patil and Raj Babbar's son Prateik recently made headlines after he changed his last name to Prateik Smita Patil. Now, he opened up about his mom and dad and shared that he wondered who his parents were as he always got 'trauma' because of them. In an interview shared on Varinder Chawla's YouTube channel, Prateik Smita Patil shared that after his mother's demise, custody fights took place, and his mother's family won the battle. Soon, they debated his last name, which was decided to be Babbar at that time. He shared that the name in the passport goes to Prateik Smit Babbar, and his schoolmates thought he belonged to a Christian family given his middle name, Smit. The Sikandar actor also opened up on being called Prateik Babbar during his Bollywood debut with Jaane Tu… Ya Jaane Na but after that he went ahead without a surname. Sharing the same, he said, 'In my first film, my name was Prateik Babbar and then the devil got the better of me and I started thinking 'Kaun hai maa? Kaun hai baap? (Who is mom? Who is dad?)' Then I started thinking, 'I don't want to be Patil, I don't want to be Babbar. I want to be just Prateik'.' Prateik further shared that he was bitter about his parents and hence the decision to go without any surname came. He added that he didn't wanted to belong to them. The actor shared, 'They have only given me trauma my entire life. I don't want to belong to them and then I continued with Prateik.' The actor also opened up on the reason behind changing his name to Prateik Smita Patil and revealed that it was his wife Priya Banerjee who suggested this name. He revealed she asked him to honor his late mother and actress who sacrificed her life for him. Prateik shared that after adding her name to his, he feels complete now. For the unversed, Smita Patil lost her life just two weeks after giving birth to Prateik. She passed away after suffering from childbirth complications. On the professional front, Prateik Smita Patil made his Bollywood debut with Jaane Tu… Ya Jaane Na in 2008. She then went on to star in several movies and web series like Sikandar, Mumbai Diaries, Mulk, and Four More Shots Please.

Prateik Smita Patil opens up about finding love after failed first marriage, how he met wife and ‘best friend' Priya Banerjee: ‘Yeh lockdown ka pyaar hai'
Prateik Smita Patil is in a happy space. In a similar vein, the Jaane Tu… Ya Jaane Na actor opened up about finding love again in his best friend Priya Banerjee, whom he married on February 14 this year. 'Goddesses have blessed me with this beautiful chapter in my life. I am extremely grateful and happy. I am loved. I have a beautiful family, a beautiful wife, and two beautiful dogs who are my children. My wife calls them our nepo kids. I am looking forward to every day with her. I can't wait to wake up every day next to her. We are literally best friends. I am so lucky that I got to marry my best friend. We have so much fun. Friendships have a different kind of fun. I think we have the best of both worlds,' shared Prateik, 38. The actor, who was married to actor Sanya Sagar, admitted 'giving it all' in his first marriage and how divorce left him heartbroken and bitter. 'I was extremely bitter about love and marriage. So strange. I was very angry at my situation, and I was very vengeful. Out of vengeance, I ended up following thousands of pretty women on Instagram. I was like, I was so good in my marriage…why did divorce happen…now, let me show,' he said, adding Priya happened to be one of them. 'We happened to follow each other. For the first few months, we didn't really strike up a conversation. Finally, I had the courage to reply to her Story, which is when we ended up conversing. Next thing I know, I have asked for a drive, and the next thing, we ended up going for a drive. We started meeting every day, and the rest is history. And now we are married.' According to Prateik's candid chat with Bollywood Bubble, it was 'divine timing when Priya and I met'. 'I wasn't looking for it, and neither was she. We met. We were meant to meet. I don't think it would have worked out if we had met earlier. She has just broken off her engagement. At the same time, I was going through a divorce. We happened to meet in lockdown. Yeh lockdown ka pyaar hai. Bilkul. (It is Covid-19 pandemic lockdown love, for sure). For a lot of people, lockdown didn't go well, but I found love, and we were engaged. It happened so organically.' When did he realise Priya was the one? 'As cheesy as it may sound, our first kiss was when I realised she was the trouble. Game over. This is it. There is no game to play anymore. We started dating and eventually started living together. For a year. I always knew it was nothing like what I experienced ever before. Also, we were older. I was 33.5 when I met her. In the first few months, I knew it was extremely special. Our connection and our friendship are so unique. It was so easy and organic,' he expressed. When it had been a year of living together, 'and we had survived, without killing each other', Prateik said they 'adjusted to each other's habits, we adjusted to each other's lifestyles and choti choti cheezein (little things) that in the grand scheme of things are extremely important…everything just fit'. He also expressed that they are very much alike. 'Holly molly, we are so compatible. We like the same kind of food, same kind of shows, love for dogs, both extremely lazy people. Few things we were polar opposites were music and a few more things which we could find a way around.' He also opened up about finding comfort in her. 'We are homebodies. Pajame me baithte din bhar and shows dekhte rehte hai on our offs (We dress up in pajamas and watch shows on our offs) . We would rather be lazy than proactive. We are a bad influence on each other like that, cutely. Not a bad way. In my head, I am is so easy with her…'. Taking a leaf out of his love story, let's understand how finding love again with a partner with similar likes and outlook on life feeds your soul. Finding love again with someone who shares your values, interests, and outlook on life can bring happiness and gratification, said Dr Santosh Bangar, senior consultant psychiatrist, Gleneagles Hospitals, Parel, Mumbai. Dr Bangar described how it may feel like meeting a version of yourself who understands your inner world without explanation or clarification. 'Conversations may flow naturally, silence may feel comfortable and shared goals create a sense of purpose and happiness. When your partner reflects your passions and priorities, it helps with personal growth. This connection nourishes the soul, brings peace, joy, and a sense of belonging,' said Dr Bangar. A post shared by prateik smita patil (@_prat) Everyone wishes to have a partner whose goals align with theirs. If you find someone like this, you should consider yourself extremely lucky.

Genelia Deshmukh says working with Aamir Khan in ‘Sitaare Zameen Par' feels ‘incredibly special', reveals her role is ‘deeply human'
Genelia Deshmukh is back on the big screen, and this time, she's teaming up with none other than Aamir Khan . The 'Ved' actress recently opened up about her role in the upcoming film ' Sitaare Zameen Par ' and called the experience 'incredibly special.' The emotional sports drama, which is set to release on 20 June, sees Aamir playing a strict basketball coach who ends up training a group of intellectually disabled children. Genelia plays his love interest in the film, and though her role is short, it's left a strong mark on her. A dream collaboration for Genelia After staying away from Bollywood for some time, Genelia is excited to be part of something meaningful again. Talking about the film with IANS, she said, 'Collaborating with Aamir Khan productions after all these years feels incredibly special. This role is unlike anything I've done before! It's emotional, layered, and deeply human. I'm truly grateful for the love the trailer has received, and I can't wait for audiences to experience the film.' Her return to Aamir Khan's production house is also a bit of a full-circle moment. Fans still remember her as the lovable Aditi from 'Jaane Tu… Ya Jaane Na', which was backed by Aamir. While that film was a light-hearted love story, 'Sitaare Zameen Par' is more intense and emotional. Aamir Khan like you've never seen before The recently released trailer gave fans a glimpse of Aamir Khan in a completely new role. Far from the gentle art teacher he played in 'Taare Zameen Par', this time Aamir is a grumpy, frustrated basketball coach. He's short-tempered, tough, and not easy to please, but he's given the task of training a team of special children. The makers shared the trailer with the caption, '1 Tingu Basketball Coach, 10 Toofani SITAARE aur unki journey. Watch #SitaareZameenPar #SabkaApnaApnaNormal, 20th June Only In Theatres. Trailer Out Now!" The trailer hints at a journey of growth, not just for the children but for Aamir's character too. It promises laughs, tears, and plenty of feel-good moments. Meet the young stars of the film One of the film's highlights is its young cast. Along with Aamir and Genelia, 'Sitaare Zameen Par' features 10 fresh faces, Aroush Datta, Gopi Krishna Varma, Samvit Desai, Vedant Sharma, Ayush Bhansali, Ashish Pendse, Rishi Shahani, Rishabh Jain, Naman Mishra, and Simran Mangeshkar. These young actors play the team of children who are seen training under Aamir's character. Their presence brings a sense of honesty and charm to the film, and their bond with the coach seems to be at the heart of the story. Aamir's big comeback after two years The film also marks Aamir Khan's return to acting after his 2022 release 'Laal Singh Chaddha'. After taking a short break from films, Aamir is back with a role that is emotional, powerful and different from anything he's done before.

Prateik Babbar reveals Shabana Azmi-Javed Akhtar wanted to adopt him after mother Smita Patil's death: ‘I could've been Farhan Akhtar's stepbrother'
The late Smita Patel's onscreen rivalry with Shabana Azmi was a prominent part of the parallel film industry back in the 1970s. However, a lesser known fact is that there was also a lot of mutual love and admiration. Smita's son and actor Prateik Babbar's recent revelation underlines that. 'I recently found out Shabana ji and Javed (Akhtar) sahab wanted to adopt me after my mother passed away. It was kind of complicated. I could've been Farhan's (Akhtar) stepbrother (laughs). I find these new things about me all the time. Aur kya hai, batao (what else is there, tell me). It's also very overwhelming. Ye hota toh main pata nahi kaisi zindagi jee raha hota (If this would've happened, I don't know what kind of a life I'd be leading now),' said Prateik. He continued in the interview with Zoom, 'There are many things I hear about me as a child. There was a custody fight for me in the childhood. I was so little, just crying, I had no idea what's happening with me. People wanted to adopt me.' He said all his mother's colleagues had a soft corner for him. 'I'm very grateful for all the love she gets, and all the goodwill she has in the industry, among all her colleagues and friends. Shabana ji was definitely one of them, along with Javed sahab. Amit ji (Amitabh Bachchan) has always been very kind and supportive. I think everybody from her time, everybody she shared upon with, Naseer sahab (Naseeruddin Shah), Ratna (Pathak Shah) ji, the late great Shyam Benegal obviously. That was a different era. I recently found out about myself I was conceived on the sets of Mirch Masala (1987),' added Prateik. Prateik is the son of Smita Patil and actor Raj Babbar. When they got romantically involved on the sets of Sisir Mishra's 1982 romance Bheegi Palkein, Raj was already married to Nadira Babbar. However, he left his wife to marry Smita. Prateik was conceived on the sets of Ketan Mehta's 1987 seminal psychological thriller Mirch Masala, which starred both Smita and Raj Babbar. She died of childbirth complications in 1986 at the age of 31. After her demise, her parents raised Prateik. Prateik made his acting debut in Abbas Tyrewala's 2008 romantic comedy Jaane Tu… Ya Jaane Na. He's not been on good terms with his father and his family, and even chose not to invite them to his recent wedding with girlfriend Priya Banerjee on Valentine's Day. Also Read — Shabana Azmi says she became 'surrogate' Smita Patil to latter's parents after her death: 'I regret saying uncharitable things about her' Shabana admitted there was a rivalry with Smita. ''What was broken was never repaired. But her parents were nice to me, and my parents were nice to her. In a strange way, after she passed away, I sort of became a surrogate Smita to her parents. Which baffled me, but it completed the circle. So I regret that I said uncharitable things about Smita. I really regret it. I wish I hadn't done it,' she told Filmfare recently.
