When Anushka Sharma gave a brave reply to trolls about 'distracting' Virat Kohli: 'He went and played on the day his father passed away'
Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma once found herself at the centre of intense criticism and unwarranted blame during a period when her husband, Indian cricket star Virat Kohli , was not performing at his best. Many accused her of being a distraction, simply for being present at his matches. She had publicly addressed these accusations in the past with a brave response. Anushka's brave reply to trolls 00:58 Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma visit Hanuman Garhi temple in Ayodhya In a past interview, Anushka strongly addressed the negativity and defended both her presence and her partner's professionalism. The video of this old interview resurfaced on Reddit, where she defended Virat Kohli and other cricketers by emphasising their lifelong dedication to the sport. She explained that since the age of eight, their lives had revolved solely around cricket and training, leaving little room for anything else apart from occasionally watching Bollywood films. Highlighting their single-minded commitment, she dismissed the notion that someone like Virat could be easily distracted or unable to manage his own career. She questioned the logic of such criticism, stating that outsiders have no real understanding of their lives or challenges, and suggested that people should focus on managing their own affairs instead of passing baseless judgements.

'That's absurd to me. Virat went and played a game on the day his father passed away. It was hurtful that you would question, as in, saying that he has lost his mind now, some apsara has come and distracted him or something. It was something big that happened in his life, the worst thing which could happen… and he played a match that day. So, these people don't know what our lives are or what we have done. They just have a lot of hate and they want to put it out there,' she added. About Anushka and Virat's family life Anushka and Virat continue to remain in the spotlight, as recent reports claimed that the couple may move to London to provide their children with a peaceful environment away from the limelight.

Aamir Khan admits that marrying Reena Dutta within just four months of knowing each other was a mistake: 'We were so young'
Bollywood star Aamir Khan recently opened up about one of the biggest personal decisions of his life — getting married at the age of 21 to Reena Dutta, who was just 19 at the time. Aamir and Reena got married in 1986 and were together for 16 years before they divorced in 2002. Even after their separation, they've shared a respectful and affectionate bond. In a conversation on Raj Shamani's podcast, the actor reflected on the whirlwind romance and youthful excitement that led to a major life choice. A love story that moved too fast? Aamir shared that he and Reena had only known each other for four months when they decided to get married. He admitted they hadn't even spent much time together during that period. Despite this, the strong feelings they had for one another pushed them to take the plunge. He said, " We had only known each other for four months before that, and even during those four months, we hadn't spent much time together. But there was a lot of love and affection between us, which is why we got married." The wisdom that comes with time Now, years later, the 'PK' actor looks back at that impulsive decision with more clarity. He reflected, "But today when I look back, I feel that a step as important as marriage should be taken with careful thought. In the passion of youth, you don't understand many things." Even so, he made it clear that he never saw Reena as a mistake. In fact, he holds deep respect and love for her to this day. He added, "Although I had a wonderful life with Reena, so please don't take this to mean that Reena was a mistake, that's absolutely not what I mean. Reena is very precious to me, and in a way, we grew up together. We were so young when we got married. Reena and I have great respect for each other and a lot of love between us. " 'It's difficult': The fine line between regret and gratitude Aamir explained that while the marriage was rushed, it brought many beautiful moments into his life. He and Reena were together for 16 years and became parents to two children, Junaid and Ira. Looking back, he feels that while the decision may have been made too quickly, it ultimately shaped the life he lives today. He admitted, "So it's difficult. In one way, I'd call it a mistake — that I decided to marry someone within four months. Such a big decision was made so quickly. A lot of things have happened like that in my life. But I feel somewhere, they turned out to be right. We make mistakes and we learn from them. And the life you end up with becomes your life, then you find your happiness in that life."

Aamir Khan admits competing with Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan in 90s: ‘Unke success se mujhe…'
It will be difficult for any cinema lover to pick the best amongst the 3 Khans, Shah Rukh, Salman and Aamir. But belonging to the same generation and having started their careers almost at the same time, was there ever a sense of competition amongst them? Sitare Zameen Par actor spills beans on the 'healthy competition' between them during the 90s and went on to praise Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge. Raj Shamani, in his podcast, asked Aamir Khan about him competing with Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan. The Laal Singh Chadha actor admitted that at one point, they used to compete. 'Har koi ye chahta hai ki sabse zyada wo successful ho, sabse zyada log uske kaam ko pasand kare, aur ye acchi baatein hoti hai.' (Everyone wants they be very successful, and people should love their films the most, and this is a good thing.) The actor further added that he never believes in negativity, and he can never do negative things. He confessed that the competition from his side has always been healthy. The PK star explained that he always gets inspired by others' work, and he never gets upset with their success. His competition has always been with himself. Talking about competition further, Aamir Khan spoke about Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge. 'Mujhe ye nahi tha ki main DDLJ jaisi badi romantic film karu kyuki mujhe wo film achi lagti hai. SRK ne bahut kamaal ka kaam kiya hai. Bahut achi lagti hai mujhe, mujhe bhi dekh ke mazaa aata hai. To main usse thodi compete kar raha hu,' he exclaimed. (I did not have in mind to do a romantic film like DDLJ because I like that film and I enjoy watching it. So, I am not competing.)

When Anushka Sharma felt she and Virat Kohli were not ‘perfect parents' to Vamika and Akaay: ‘There is so much pressure'
and are not only one of the most loved celebrity couples in India, but they also set major family goals. While fans admire their romance and support for each other, many also look up to how they balance busy careers with raising their two children, daughter and baby son Akaay. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now But as Anushka revealed in a candid chat during an event in Mumbai back in September 2024, being parents isn't always picture perfect. In fact, she made it clear that she and Virat are just like any other mum and dad — doing their best, learning on the go, and admitting that yes, it's hard sometimes. 'We are not perfect parents' The 'PK' actress didn't hold back when talking about the kind of pressure parents feel these days to get everything right. She said, "There is so much pressure to be like this perfect parent. We are not perfect parents, we will complain about things, and it is okay to admit it to them also. So, they know that you are flawed. Imagine kids having to live up to, 'Oh my parents are like this'. So owning your mistakes makes it easier. " No time for fancy dinners Being hands-on parents to two small children has meant big changes in their lifestyle, especially their social life. Anushka admitted, "I can only hang out with people who do the same and that's very few people. So social life, you can forget about it. People invite us to dinner and I am like (makes a confusing expression)... You are probably eating a snack at the time we eat our dinner. Some day, occasionally you have to let it go, otherwise people will hate you. " Leading with love and gratitude One of the most touching parts of her talk was when Anushka spoke about what really matters when it comes to raising kids. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now She said, "In my case, I have realised that my daughter is very young. And I don't think I can teach her anything. It is how we lead our lives. Are we showing gratitude to others in our daily life? Are we grateful for the things we have in life? Are we showing that as an example? Do we think this is enough? I think she has picked up on that, I don't think I can teach her anything. For them to learn gratitude, they have to see you being grateful." Don't stress the small stuff Anushka also had some wise words for parents who get upset over children's behaviour. Her advice? "You just have to enjoy their childhood. If you ever see them showing disrespect, they are not showing disrespect, they are just being kids and you can gently guide them. Living by example is the only way to make sure they soak the good things from the environment," she said. Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma visit Hanuman Garhi temple in Ayodhya

Plot twists you never saw: 5 Bollywood films with alternate endings and why they changed
Ever walked out of a movie thinking, 'What if it ended differently?' In Bollywood, that's not just wishful thinking. Several iconic films have alternate endings planned. From tragic sacrifices to unresolved romances, some filmmakers envisioned bold, unexpected finales. However, due to pressure from producers, audience expectations, or last-minute changes, these endings were rewritten. Let's take a look at 5 Bollywood films that came close to shocking you. Also, check out the surprising reasons for the shelving of their original climaxes. 1. Sholay (1975) The iconic film Sholay, starring Amitabh Bachchan, Dharmendra, Jaya Bachchan, and Hema Malini, was also shot with two different endings. The ending we were shown didn't show Gabbar being killed. Instead, the police arrive at the right time and catch Gabbar before Thakur kills him. However, the original ending had Thakur killing Gabbar with his feet. Yes, you heard that right! In an interview with Indian Express, Ramesh Sippy revealed the reason behind it and shared that the censor board had asked to change it. They weren't happy with Gabbar being killed with feet, but Thakur had no hands, so he couldn't shoot him as well. Though the director wasn't happy about it, he had to change. 2. PK (2014) PK, starring Aamir Khan, Anushka Sharma, and Sushant Singh Rajput, even had a different ending planned. The film's ending that we were shown was Aamir's character PK returning back to earth with another alien friend (played by Ranbir Kapoor) as part of a new research team. However, the original ending was Anushka and Sushant's characters, Jaggu and Sarfaraaz, doing the Battery Recharge Dance to remember PK. Even this could have been a better ending to the film, it seems. Well, if you are wondering about the reason behind the change of climax, we have an answer for you. There were two reasons that were shared behind the change. First is the audience's desire to see PK return to Earth during test screenings. However, Aamir had once stated that the original ending was changed after the release of Inception as he found similarities between them. 3. Baazigar (1993) Baazigar, starring Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol, and Shilpa Shetty, showed that towards the end, Ajay (played by SRK) dies. However, the original ending was something different. The directors, Abbas-Mustan, wanted the demise of Ajay, but Rakhee and other distributors thought it wouldn't be a good idea, and they also shot the ending where police entered and took Shah Rukh Khan. The director revealed to PTI that this ending wasn't chosen as it wasn't conveying the emotional state of the character properly. 4. Pink (2016) Starring Amitabh Bachchan, Kirti Kulhari, and Taapsee Pannu, Pink was also planned to have a different ending at first. We saw that the girls won the case in court after so much trouble. The court's verdict affirms Minal's story and the principle of 'no means no.' However, the film was first shot differently. In the end, the girls lost the case as they had no evidence and facts to prove it. Taapsee Pannu once opened up on the reason behind the change in an interview with Bollywood Life and shared that they wanted the ending to provide some valuable message to the audience and motivate them to be strong and courageous in their lives. 5. Delhi 6 (2009) Abhishek Bachchan played the role of Roshan Mehra in the film Delhi 6, while Sonam Kapoor played the role of Bittu Sharma. In the ending, we see Roshan survive a mob attack after he turns Kala Bandar to stop Bittu's escape with her lover. He then confesses his love for her. However, things take a drastic turn when a crowd mistakes him for the real Kala Bandar and beats him up. He endures, though gravely hurt, and comes back to life after meeting his grandfather in heaven. However, the film had a different ending, and it was more tragic. In the original ending, Roshan was to die after being beaten by the mob. This could have intrigued viewers more and might be quite compelling. The film with this ending was shown at the Venice International Film Festival and received praise. The ending was reportedly altered as Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra gave in to UTV's push for a happier ending than what was initially envisioned. Bollywood has always thrived on drama, but some of its most surprising twists were never shown on screen. These alternate endings, shaped by behind-the-scenes decisions, reveal a fascinating clash between storytelling ambition and commercial demands. While audiences saw the polished versions, the untold endings add an extra dose of mystery. Sometimes, the most unexpected plot twists are the ones that never made it to the final cut.
