Jab log bikhar jaate hai tab kaam khatam ho jata hai. I told these boys that they need to come together. I am glad they are back together." Speaking about forming her own band, the singer added, 'If it was up to me, I would like to have a band with a lineup of all the famous singers and bands of the yesteryears like The Beatles, Rolling Stones, ABBA, Earth Wind & Fire, Santana, Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson, Louis Armstrong, Barbra Streisand and Caterina Valente.

Amitabh Bachchan's co-star had acted in 500 films but couldn't own a house or car. He was actress Zeenat Aman's relative
He was seen alongside the biggest legends in Indian cinema — from Mughal-E-Azam to Do Bigha Zamin — but veteran character actor Murad , who acted in over 500 films, never owned a house or a car. In a sobering reminder of how fame doesn't always translate to financial security, his son, actor Raza Murad, opened up in a recent interview about the difficult realities behind the glamorous façade of showbiz. The anecdote is not only a tribute to his father's legacy but also a cautionary tale about the importance of financial planning. Speaking on the Filmy Charcha YouTube channel, Raza Murad shared that despite his father's prolific career and iconic filmography, their family faced severe financial constraints. He mentioned witnessing 'difficulties in life' and experiencing poverty. Recalling his childhood in Bhopal, he added that their home didn't even have electricity and that he would have to study for his exams under a lamp post. He would start at midnight and finish at 6 am. Raza Murad's father, Murad, known for his roles in films like Devdas (1955), Sanyasi, Yaadon Ki Baaraat, and Tarzan Goes to India (1962), was one of the most sought-after character actors of his era. Yet, Raza revealed that they 'never had a car' and 'used to live in a rented house.' He pointed out how many celebrated stars from the 1950s and 60s failed to save for the future and were left struggling in their later years. According to him, those actors should have planned for the future. While Raza made it clear that he had no intention to criticise his father's choices — 'he lived like he wanted to' — he said that he chose a different path after witnessing those struggles. Hence, the first thing he did after establishing himself in the film industry was to buy a house. Interestingly, the veteran actor was also related to Bollywood icon Zeenat Aman — she is his niece.

'The thing that would trouble us most was Abba Jaan ko dekh ke. Because he was a very simple man. Maybe he didn't have enough sense that he should not have taken so much loan,' Aamir shared. 'Unko problem mein dekh ke takleef hoti thi kyunki un logon ke phone aate the jinse paise liye hain. Unka jhagda shuru ho jaata tha phone pe ki 'main kya karu, mere paas paise nahi hain. Meri film atki hai, mere actors ko boliye dates dein mujhe, main kya karu,'' he added. Aamir Khan breaks down while talking about his abba jaan's financial woes – 'un logon ke phone aate the jinse paise liye hain aur....'
