Throwback: When late Yash Chopra revealed Shah Rukh Khan never asked for a script or fee
The late director Yash Chopra once talked about his close relationship with Shah Rukh Khan , emphasizing the actor's humility and trustworthiness. Chopra, who worked with Shah Rukh on a number of classic movies, claimed in an old interview that when he was offered a role under the Yash Raj label, SRK never inquired about the script or his fee. Here's a closer look. Shah Rukh Khan's unwavering trust in the late Yash Chopra A long-standing creative collaboration began when Shah Rukh and Yash Chopra collaborated on 'Darr' (1993). They have produced hits such as 'Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi' (2008), 'Veer Zaara' (2004), 'Mohabbatein' (2000), 'Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge' (1995), and 'Dil To Pagal Hai' (1997) over the years. In the interview conducted on his 80th birthday, Chopra stated, "I have always had a great experience working with him." 'He is one actor who never asked me what the story is about or how much money he will charge... Whatever amount I send him by cheque, he takes it and even asks why I gave him so much.' "He doesn't meet me before we start shooting," the director continued. "Why meet?" he asks. "I don't want to know the story or talk about money. So why meet?' It's all because he has faith in me.' Following Veer Zaara, the two worked together again on Jab Tak Hai Jaan (2012), which was Yash Chopra's last film as director before his passing. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like M3M Freedom Sale Alert - Luxury Waterfront Homes at 2.9 Cr* M3M Great Freedom Sale Learn More Undo He had stated, "I wanted to make something soul-touching," in reference to the movie.

Outdated bus routes keep Trichy's intracity services poor
Trichy: Trichy city can boast the state's second largest and sophisticated Integrated Bus Terminus (IBT) at Panjapur, but TNSTC's bus services connecting major destinations within the city have not evolved proportionally to meet the dynamic travel patterns of passengers. Commercial streets, religious centres, and educational hubs in the city are not directly connected by city buses, forcing passengers to board multiple buses to reach destinations located within a 10-12 km radius. People from K K Nagar and Ponmalaipatti, two densely populated and developing areas, lack direct buses to the IBT. Passengers heading to Lalgudi and Manachanallur towns have no direct buses from IBT either. Instead, they commute to Chathiram bus terminus to reach those two towns. Kattur and Thiruverumbur, a developing commercial hub, are not directly connected by buses to Thillai Nagar, the city's major medical hub. It's worth noting that the Trichy region of TNSTC Kumbakonam division operates 287 city buses. "TNSTC should suggest new and high-demanding routes to promote public transport and prevent traffic congestion. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like M3M Freedom Sale Alert - Luxury Waterfront Homes at 2.9 Cr* M3M Great Freedom Sale Learn More Undo Aged people cannot board two buses to reach destinations within the city," Kallai Venkat, a frequent commuter, said. At least, 10 prominent destinations in the city and suburbs remain not directly connected by TNSTC, forcing people to opt for personal vehicles or auto rickshaws for daily commute. While bus routes were not reorganised based on changing travel patterns in decades, TNSTC insiders blamed lack of adequate buses for the poor connectivity. While Trichy city and the urban agglomeration population have breached 15 lakh, TNSTC has been operating the same 300-odd city buses in recent years. "Elcot IT Park has a four-lane road, but TNSTC fails to see the potential of operating new buses on new routes such as between Trichy airport and Thiruverumbur," R Thiruvenkadam, a road safety activist, added. Bus enthusiasts opined that TNSTC Trichy region, being managed from the division's headquarters in Kumbakonam 100km away, is the main reason for the lack of innovative approach and periodical supervision to strengthen connectivity and modernise fleet. A separate division for Trichy carving districts like Trichy, Ariyalur, Perambalur, Karur, and Pudukottai out of Kumbakonam division could streamline such lapses, the enthusiasts added. A senior TNSTC official said, "Recently, we launched a new route connecting Panjapur with Samayapuram via Trichy-Chennai national highway. It is a hit among passengers. More such routes will be identified and proposed, and connectivity will improve gradually." Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).

The victims alleged that the seniors entered his room late Wednesday night, allegedly consumed alcohol, and then used a trimmer to cut the hair. They also instructed another first-year student in the hostel to bring them more alcohol. The incident was met with opposition from other hostel students, which led to a heated exchange with the seniors. When the first-year students threatened to call the Dean and the Warden, the two seniors fled by jumping over the hostel's back wall, leaving their motorcycles behind. Upon being informed, dean Dr Anita Mootha, hostel warden Dr Devendra Chauhan, and other staff members immediately rushed to the hostel. They questioned the students, seized the two accused students' motorcycles, and handed them over to the police. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like M3M Great Freedom Sale – Mega Sales for Luxury Homes M3M India Book Now Following an emergency meeting of the college's Anti-Ragging Committee on Thursday morning, strict action was announced against the senior students.
