Everyone cherishes this special bond throughout their life, and when movies showcased friendships, it struck a chord with the audience. One film that beautifully portrays the bond of friendship is 'Jaane Tu... Ya Jaane Na'.

04 July,2024 04:40 PM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentSussanne Khan, who was previously married to Hrithik Roshan and has two sons with him, is currently dating actor Arslan Goni. The couple is often seen together at various events and going on double dates with Hrithik Roshan and his girlfriend Saba Azad. Recently, Sussanne's mother, interior designer Zarine Khan, shared her thoughts on her daughter's new relationship and her relationship with Hrithik. In an interview with Times Entertainment, Zarine Khan said she is happy that Sussanne has found love again with Arslan Goni after her divorce from Hrithik Roshan in 2014. Zarine also discussed the possibility of Sussanne marrying Arslan, saying that marriage isn't the only important thing in life. She said, “If you find happiness with someone today, you are lucky. One does not know what lies in store in the future. Today, life is what you make of it. Marriage is not the only thing in life today. Hollywood couple Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russel have been in a relationship for ages now and are still happy together. The age-old notion that you have to be married to be happy and settled, no longer holds true now. Women are independent, established in their careers and also want to make their own decisions. And marriage is a bond, which not always keeps you bonded for life. So, I am happy to see that Arslan and Susanne are happy together and focused on their careers.” Sussanne Khan's mother Zarina Khan on bond with Hrithik Roshan She added that in today's world, finding happiness with someone is a blessing. According to her, the traditional idea that marriage is necessary for happiness and stability is outdated. Expressing her joy for her daughter, she said, “Arslan and Sussnae are happy together and focused on their careers.” She also gushed about her 'Duggu' (Hrithik Roshan) and said, “Duggu (Hrithik Roshan) continues to be my son and he is a wonderful human being. He and Sussanne may not be together, but they love each other as best friends. Together, they inculcate great qualities in their children. They respect each other and maintain a very healthy equation. I am glad that they have maintained dignity and respect for each other.”

She revealed having an intimate ceremony after dreading a grand one with supposedly 2000 guests. The 90s icon was speaking at the Gujarat Chamber of Commerce & Industry. Juhi shared, “I was shooting for some of the really big films of my career and I was supposed to get married. My mother had just passed a year ago. When the marriage date was coming close, I was thinking my mother is gone, whom I loved the most, and now my career will also go away. I didn’t know how to be happy about it. So, I broke down one day and I told my mother-in-law and she said, ‘It’s okay.'” “She convinced the family to not have the big wedding and I got married at home with just the family and closest friends in attendance. So with just 80-90 people present. Imagine your mother-in-law canceling the invites that had already been sent out,” added Juhi. During her appearance on the celebrity dance reality show 'Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa's' special episode 'Jashn Juhi Ka’, she spoke about her love story, revealing how they used to exchange letters and cards with each other before tying the knot. She said, "Before marriage, he used to write letters to me every day. But all of that stopped after marriage (laughs). Those days, we used to send letters and cards to each other which has now turned into emails and WhatsApp messages." Juhi also shared that once on her birthday, Jay had sent her a truck full of red roses. "Jay and I met at a dinner and then he started hovering around me. Once, on my birthday, he sent me a truck full of red roses. And I took a year to say 'yes' to him," she said.

04 July,2024 01:57 PM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentActress Neha Dhupia who was constantly body-shamed postpartum has come a long way by shedding 23 kilos. Armed with determination and resilience, the former Miss India revealed how she put on weight more than usual (around 23-25 kilos) due to one pregnancy after another, not allowing her to focus on self-care. In an interview with Hindustan Times, Neha shared that after he daughter Mehr was born there was the COVID-19 lockdown and she eventually lost weight after having a monitored diet at home. She later got pregnant again with her son Guriq and for four years her weight fluctuated. “When I was pregnant, I wasn’t worried about how I was going to look during postpartum. I breastfed both my children for a year, which kept my appetite high and energy levels low. It wasn’t until a year ago that I really committed to exercise and a proper diet, shedding a total of 23 kgs since then. I still haven’t reached exactly where I wanted to in terms of my weight and inch size, but I am sure I will get there in the near future,” says Neha. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Neha Dhupia (@nehadhupia) The ‘A Thursday’ actress revealed that after her dramatic weight loss, she also found more work adding a new lease to her career. “I feel so much better, especially in a profession where physical appearance matters a great deal. But, I have always embraced who I am. Professionally, I’ve noticed an increase in offers now, and I feel and look better in my clothes,” adds Neha. Sharing deets on her fitness regime, Neha stated that being a working mother she needs the energy and is not cutting down on her calories drastically. She concludes, “I enjoy running and occasionally hit the gym. I’ve cut out sugar, fried foods, and gluten but otherwise maintain a balanced diet. I don’t deliberately do intermittent fasting but it happens because of the lifestyle I have. I have dinner with my kids at 7:00 pm which is very helpful, and breakfast with my husband at 11 am. All of this helps.” Neha will next be seen in 'Bad Newz'. This quirky film takes a hilarious detour from the usual rom-com tropes, diving into the chaotic world of heteropaternal superfecundation--yes, that's a fancy way of saying two dads, one mom, and one bun in the oven! It also stars Vicky Kaushal, Triptii Dimri, and Ammy Virk. 'Bad Newz' takes a fresh spin on the genre, promising an emotional rollercoaster laced with rib-tickling humour. Directed by Anand Tiwari, the film seems to be a successor to the 2019 hit 'Good Newwz,' which starred Kareena Kapoor Khan, Akshay Kumar, Kiara Advani and Diljit Dosanjh in the lead roles. It is slated to hit theatres on July 19. (With inputs from ANI)
