He shared, 'The next film I'm doing, King, I have to start working on it. Have to lose some weight and stretch a little so my groin doesn't get caught while I am doing action. It's very painful and hurtful. I have two bags full of icing machines. It's the worst thing to see me on set after action. I look really cool in the film, but after that I look tied up, somebody is pressing my back. It's difficult to walk and then suddenly you see people and send them flying kisses.'

Unlike many others in his life, Shah Rukh offered understanding without judgement. Karan Johar's Fashion Love Began with Zeenat Aman! 'He was born and brought up in a very progressive environment. He comes from theatre. He had worked with all kinds of people. My parents, perhaps, weren't able to understand things. My feminine side, which was emerging so strongly, was only met with laughter or mockery,' Karan stated. Karan faced criticism for having a feminine side He admitted that as he grew older, people stopped being openly critical about his feminine side, but there was still a lot of 'chitter-chatter' about the way he spoke and walked. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với sàn môi giới tin cậy IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo He stated that SRK was the first man who did not make him feel lesser.

'Whenever I said campy things, he laughed. He would hang out with me, laugh with me. It isn't what he said, it's what he didn't say. That's what matters,' Karan concluded.

Meet India's highest-earning musician, earns ₹25 cr for one album at the age of 40, more than AR Rahman, Arijit, Diljit
India is bursting with talent, this artist has struck a chord so deep that his tunes have turned into millions, in the literal sense. Becoming India's highest-earning musician is one thing but defeating musicians like AR Rahman, Arijit Singh, Anirudh Ravichander and Diljit Dosanjh at just 40 is a remarkable feat. We are talking about music composer Mithoon. As per a report of Hindustan Times, Mithoon became the highest-paid musician recently. Reportedly, Mithoon has secured a record-breaking fee for composing the soundtrack of an upcoming untitled romantic drama. While details of the film are not out yet, industry insiders claimed that the composer will be paid over ₹ 25 crore for the complete film score, the highest sum in the Indian music industry. The film reunites Mithoon with a renowned director he has collaborated with in the past. Their musical bond spans nearly two decades, which reportedly prompted the producers' decision to make such a hefty investment. Currently, this is the highest fee for a composer in India for a single album. The previous record holder of the title was Anirudh Ravichander, the youngest of the lot. As per reports, he was paid ₹ 10 crore for composing music for Atlee's Jawan, starring superstars Shah Rukh Khan and Nayanthara. However, his next projects, Leo and Jailer, fetched him ₹ 8 crore each. Besides Mithoon and Anirudh, AR Rahman ruled the music scene in India as the most sought-after and commercially successful music composer. Known for his iconic film scores and global recognition, Rahman reportedly charged somewhere around ₹ 8 crore per project and even more if he lends his voice to a song in the film, reported Hindustan Times. On the other hand, renowned music composers like Pritam, Vishal-Shekhar, MM Keeravani, and Yuvan Shankar Raja are said to charge under ₹ 5 crore per project. However, sadly the remunerations are even lower for Indian singers who are said to charge somewhere around ₹ 15-20 lakh for a song, excluding exceptions. Reportedly, Diljit charges around ₹ 4 crore for private events such as Anant Ambani's pre-wedding party while he takes home somewhere between ₹ 50 lakh to 1 crore for usual concerts. Mithoon Sharma, also known as Mithoon, began his career in the industry with the recreations of Woh Lamhe in Zeher and Aadat in Kalyug. In 2006, Mithoon had his first break when composed his first original song, Bas Ek Pal, sung by late singer KK. It was followed by the hit track, Tere Bin, sung by singer Atif Aslam, for the same film, Bas Ek Pal. Mithoon rose to fame with the song Tum Hi Ho from the 2013 film Aashiqui 2.

"Okay not being on biggest set in world..." Ridhi Dogra opens up about mental health, says she chooses work that makes her 'feel valued'
By Zoya Aziz New Delhi [India], May 30 (ANI): Actor Ridhi Dogra, who made her Bollywood debut with 'Lakadbaggha' in 2023 and was later seen in big films including Shah Rukh Khan's Jawan, recently opened up about how she takes care of her mental health while working in the entertainment industry. Ridhi has been part of the industry for many years now, starting with her Television debut in Jhoome Jiya Re. But even with all the success, the journey hasn't been easy. There was a time early on in her career when she felt like she wasn't 'feeling happy.' However, she made some clear decisions that continue to help her stay grounded and happy to this day. When asked if she ever felt the need to pause and take a break from the pressure, Dogra told ANI, 'I love what I do, so I think when you love what you do, you don't really need to take a break from it. But yeah, very early on, I decided I only want to do work that I love, and I only want to go on sets where I am valued. So, I created that environment for myself, where I'm okay not being on the biggest set in the world. I want to be on a set where people want me there--that's what's important in my life.' 'In my circumstances... I think only once in my life--I'm not going to talk about the project--but only once, early in my career, I felt like what you're saying, that I wasn't feeling happy, or whatever, whatever. And I quickly changed that. I said, 'You know what? I'm not going to do anything that doesn't feel right to me. I'll only work with people who believe in what I'm doing, who are excited about what I'm doing, or what we're making, and that's it.' That really has helped me till now...' The Asur actress went on to speak about the emotional demands of being an actor and why it's important to take breaks--not just to rest, but to emotionally recharge. 'You do need a break sometimes. As actors, we need a lot of breaks, not because our work is hectic, but because we're always wearing the sensitivity cap. You can never drop it. We are using our emotions to portray different feelings, and that's a big gamble we play. We are constantly trying to show various emotions, and that means we are carrying those emotions at all times. For somebody like that, whether it's a musician who sings and connects to God, we do need downtime. So, after every project of mine, I do take a holistic wellness break,' Ridhi shared. The interaction took place at the Delhi launch of Lakadbaggha: The Prologue, a graphic novel written by Anshuman Jha and illustrated by American comic book artist Brittain Peck. The novel serves as a prequel to the 2023 action film Lakadbaggha and was launched by the film's team, including Ridhi and Anshuman. (ANI)
