Birthday Special: From Omkara to Dil Chahta Hai- Revisiting Saif Ali Khan's best performances
While everyone was busy talking about the Khans, Saif was out here reinventing himself, over and over again. It's no wonder that we call him the coolest Khan! Saif Ali Khan is Bollywood's accidental chameleon. One minute he's wooing you with a guitar, the next he's plotting a bloodbath with a French beard and a whiskey glass. While everyone was busy talking about the Khans, Saif was out here reinventing himself, over and over again. It's no wonder that we call him the coolest Khan! From the floppy-haired cutie in 90s comedies, then swerved into Shakespeare, streaming, and zombie-hunting — all while somehow staying underrated. He just shows up, tries something weird, and leaves quietly with your respect. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Omkara (2006) This is the role that made everyone stop laughing at Saif's rom-com past. A scheming, limping villain with an Othello complex and pitch-perfect Western UP accent? The man devoured. It's Shakespeare meets Chambal, and Saif meets acting Nirvana. Dil Chahta Hai (2001) The lovable idiot friend with the world's worst luck in love? In a film that redefined male friendships in Bollywood, Saif played the golden retriever energy guy. While Aamir was brooding and Akshaye was emo before it was cool, Saif gave us comic timing, sweetness, and that all-time iconic 'Woh Ladki Hai Kahan' song. Being Cyrus (2005) Saif as a drifter with dead eyes and dangerous intentions in this off-kilter psychological drama? Sign us up. If you remember Being Cyrus, you know why the film deserved more awards than it got. Hum Tum (2004) He nagged, he whined, he sketched cartoons and we still rooted for him. In this gendered slow-burn rom-com, Saif managed to evolve from a petty man-child to a man-man without ever becoming annoying. He also picked up a National Award for it, because this is the chatty film that's a lot harder than it looks! STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Sacred Games (2018–2019) Existential dread, crumbling morals, and a very realistic cop first big Indian gamble was a gritty neo-noir that delivered, and Saif's Sartaj was its broken soul. Haunted by daddy issues, systemic rot, and Nawazuddin Siddiqui's chaos energy, Sartaj gave Saif his streaming-era rebrand. Also: great beard. Udaybhan Rathod – Tanhaji (2020) Historical villainy, but make it operatic. He went full throttle baddie – Bloodthirsty, unhinged, dramatic. It's the kind of fun performance that only Saif could've made it camp. Eyeliner, fur, slow-mo smirks, he knew what movie he was in. Go Goa Gone (2013) India's first zombie comedy and Saif's first bleach-blonde era, we remember both. He claimed to be Russian. He looked like he washed ashore from Ibiza. And he was surprisingly good at zombie combat. This cult comedy is one of the strangest things to come out of Bollywood and Saif leaned into the madness like a pro. Love Aaj Kal (2009) STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Two timelines. One heartbreak. And a whole lot of tears. In this Imtiaz Ali special, Saif played both modern commitment-phobic Jai and old-school romantic Veer. It was moody, musical, and mildly confusing, but he pulled off both avatars with restraint and charm. Also, don't act like you don't hum Dooriyan when it rains. Ek Hasina Thi (2004) He smiled. You trusted him. Mistake. This lean, mean revenge thriller had Saif playing against type, a smooth con man who gaslights Urmila Matondkar's character into hell. The turn is cold, clean, and absolutely chilling. Early-2000s noir that deserved way more love. Parineeta (2005) In this swoony, sepia-toned adaptation of Sarat Chandra's novel, Saif traded jeans for kurta-pyjamas and brought a brooding depth to the man. The chemistry with Vidya Balan was electric, and he looked painfully good playing the piano in vintage Calcutta.

'It's genuinely worrying' - fans on summer business
We asked for your views on Fulham's lack of business so far in the window and their approach to re-sign Reiss are some of your comments:Chris A: The Khans typically leave their summer signings late in the window, but this time there isn't even a whiff of speculation, let alone action. It's genuinely worrying. We're supposed to be building a squad to push for Europe, at this rate we'll be battling to stay Fulham's fan base is very frustrated with the lack of transfers, a mirror image of what has happened in previous seasons. We are not mollified by the painfully slow re-signing of Cairney and Tete whose contracts had expired - welcome though that is. Fresh blood is needed if the club is to develop. Wake up management!Peter: Transfers? To little to late. I thought we would bring Palhinha and Harvey Elliott Ryan Sessignon shines like the old days. Marco Silva is working hard to get the team to gel. Iwobi was a revelation. Sadly after 50 years of supporting my only team it will be the same old Fulham. Give us something to cheer. A trophy but not Re-signing Nelson on a loan just shows the lack of ambition by our owners, we are more than happy finishing mid-table and show absolutely no hope of kicking on into Europe. Less than one month until the start of the season and yet again our business has been left too Talker: As far as first signings go this will be very underwhelming. Our first move for a player is a loan and towards the end of July is a joke. Nelson is a good player but injuries are a concern, and it doesn't really improve our squad whatsoever. We can and should be doing better, and stop taking players from We always take time to do our business, but we made no signings in January and it's clear we need to kick on. Marco indicated a couple of months ago the plans for the summer were in place and a month before the new season we have no new faces through the door.

Are Shah Rukh, Salman, and Aamir Khan friends? 'Sitaare Zameen Par' star opens up
For decades, Aamir Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, and Salman Khan have defined the landscape of Bollywood. With mammoth fanbases, blockbuster hits, and contrasting cinematic philosophies, their names have sparked countless debates, comparisons, and headlines. But what happens when the kings of cinema, once known for their rifts, turn into the closest of friends? In a candid new interview with an Indian news outlet, The Lallantop, Aamir Khan peeled back the curtain on his long, complicated, and now heartwarming relationship with his fellow Khans—Shah Rukh and Salman. The 'Perfectionist' of Bollywood doesn't shy away from addressing old wounds, especially when it comes to Shah Rukh Khan. When reminded of SRK once calling him 'chichora' —a term that roughly translates to crass or frivolous—during the promotions of 3 Idiots, Aamir admitted they've come a long way since. 'I hadn't known Shah Rukh so much that time,' Aamir recalled. 'We would keep meeting often, we even hung out together back then at either of our places.' He addressed the infamous blog post from his farmhouse in Panchgani, where he joked about 'Shah Rukh licking his feet'—a quip that turned out to be about a dog named Shah Rukh. 'SRK keeps making jokes about me at award shows, even though I don't attend them,' he added. It was during the lead-up to 3 Idiots that their professional rivalry made headlines. Aamir had gone on an aggressive and creative promotional spree, while SRK, then prepping for My Name Is Khan, was unimpressed. 'I regret to use this word,' Shah Rukh had said in an old interview, 'but it's a kind of chichorapan.' Aamir's response at the time? 'SRK is a sensible man, if I am going to different parts of the country and he finds that chichora what can I say, that's his opinion and I don't agree with it. As far as chichorapan is concerned, Shah Rukh might know better about it because he does a lot of it in his life; he is an expert at all this.' But time, it seems, has mellowed the once-edgy banter into brotherly warmth. 'We often make plans to catch up, and we never stop at one drink,' Aamir now says. 'When we sit together, it is usually till morning, 7am, not just with Salman but with Shah Rukh too. This has happened eight to 10 times till now.' Aamir and Salman Speaking of Salman, Aamir's bond with Bollywood's Bhaijaan took root in vulnerability. The two had worked together in Andaz Apna Apna in 1994, a cult comedy that belied their off-screen dynamic. 'He used to never come on time. I thought maybe we can't be friends,' Aamir admitted. 'But when I met him in 2001-02 and we got chatting, that's when I realised we're all humans and make mistakes. We try to live better lives, but we end up doing some wrong things, so one shouldn't be so judgmental. That's a learning I had then.' That second meeting came at a low point in Aamir's life—following his separation from first wife Reena Dutta. 'I used to sit alone and not meet anyone back then. Like Juhi (Chawla, co-star) visited me, Salman Khan also paid a visit,' Aamir revealed. 'I don't remember how it happened, but he came to my home for a meal. We chatted for hours. I had a heart-to-heart conversation with him since I was going through depression then. He also shared a lot with me. That's when we began bonding as friends.' Whether it's the roles they choose, the stardom they command, or the legacies they're building, the three Khans have long been compared. And Aamir understands why. 'The comparison is legit. It happens in every field, whether it's cricket or films. People at the top are often compared to each other,' he said. "The people and media are curious." On the workfront, Aamir Khan was last seen in 'Sitaare Zameen Par.'
