Siddhant Chaturvedi reveals how Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt supported him during his low phase: “Ranbir thought his film Rocket Singh: Salesman Of The Year would be his Munna Bhai MBBS”

Siddhant Chaturvedi’s film career began with a bang with Gully Boy (2019). Though it starred Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt in the lead, the dashing actor became a rage, thanks to his portrayal of MC Sher. Sadly, his subsequent films like Bunty Aur Babli 2 (2021) and Phone Bhoot (2022) sank without a trace. Gehraiyaan (2022), which was released directly on Amazon Prime Video, got widespread viewership though it was Deepika Padukone who got talked about more. Siddhant, however, bounced back with Kho Gaye Hum Kahaan (2023). The Netflix release was widely acclaimed, and it gave the actor the much-needed validation and boost. In an interview with Hindustan Times, Siddhant Chaturvedi opened up about his roller coaster journey and also shared his meaningful interaction with Ranbir Kapoor. Siddhant Chaturvedi revealed that Ranbir advised him to continue working and not compare himself with his contemporaries. Siddhant stated, “Ranbir doesn’t go to parties.

Anu Malik, Udit Narayan, Kavita Krishnamurthy, Alka Yagnik and others remember Pankaj Udhas: “He was a wonderful singer, but more importantly he was a wonderful human being”

There was much more to Pankaj Udhas than the Ghazals and ‘Chitthi aayi hai’. One of the three singing brothers, (the other two being Manhar and Nirmal) Pankaj Udhas sang lilting numbers like ‘Teri Aashiqui meri zindagi hai’ in Ghaat and ‘Kitabe bohat si padhi hongi tumne’ in Baazigar for composer Anu Malik. Said Malik, “I am saddened, shocked, anguished. The world has not only lost a great singer BUT a greater human being. We worked together on some songs. He had a terrific sense of poetry. He was always jovial and very witty. He always smiled. Spoke very sweetly.” Apparently, Pankaj liked Anu Malik’s songs. “He always spoke about my music and complimented me on my music, especially ‘Kitabe Bohat Si Padhi Hongi Tumne’ from the film Baazigar, which I made him sing with Asha Bhosleji for an album for Venus Records. He loved it and told me how could I turn a ghazal-numa poetry into a commercially viable song. After the recording, he got up, hugged me and said to me, ‘You know what? You

Shatrughan Sinha and Mita Vashisht pay tribute to Kumar Shahani: “He was a very sensitive filmmaker with whom one could converse about anything”

Back then, they called it ‘art cinema’. And it wasn’t said in a flattering way. Art Cinema was synonymous with boredom. That’s where Kumar Shahani came in. Shatrughan Sinha, who played a pivotal role in Shahani’s Kasba, said that the classification of cinema as ‘art’ and ‘massy’ was very damaging to serious cinema. “I personally never followed these segregations in cinema. To me, there was only good and bad cinema. And I’ve done my share of both. If I’ve worked with Manmohan Desai and Subhash Ghai, I’ve also worked with Goutam Ghose and Kumar Shahani,” he said. Speaking of his experience with Shahani, Mr Sinha recalled, “I think Kasba had me in a grey role, neither good nor bad just… human! That’s the most difficult to play. Kasba featured other great actors like M K Raina, Manohar Singh, Mita Vashisht and a very fine actor named Navjot Hansra. I remember Kumar Shahani as a very sensitive filmmaker with whom one could converse about anything.” No actor had the tuning with the avant

My dear friend Sanjay Bhansali turned 60 quietly today. No celebrations are planned. “What is there to celebrate? During childhood, my sister and I had no birthday parties. We would take a packet of sweets to school and distribute it to our class-mates. That was it. We never had birthday parties. Nor were we allowed to go to parties. Now, it has become a habit to be on my own on my birthday. And I am a very happy that way. On my 50th birthday, my sister Bela arranged a surprise party.
