28 December,2024 06:10 PM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentA week after the 2007 film Taare Zameen Par completed its 17th anniversary, Tisca Chopra and Darsheel Safary, aka Ishaan, had a reunion. This cute reunion reminded netizens of the film and took them back in time. Today, Tisca Chopra took to her Instagram to share a fun reel with her co-actor Darsheel Safary in the film Taare Zameen Par. Tisca Chopra and Darsheel safary's hilarious reel The reel shows Tisca asking Darsheel to choose from either dal-chawal or pizza, pasta and ice cream.

To this, Tisca reacts with, "still can't read". View this post on Instagram A post shared by Tisca Chopra (@tiscaofficial) This pointed towards one of the tendencies of Ishaan from the film and a common symptom in dyslexic children, which is, difficulty in reading. Tisca, captioned the post, "17 years of #TaareZameenPar @dsafary waiting for clap back Disclaimer: We understand Dyslexia to be a serious issue that affects not just the person with Dyslexia but families too .. this reel is for humour only " Fans can't stop laughing on this humorous reel The comment section of this reel is flooded with hilarious replies.

28 December,2024 05:12 PM IST | Mumbai | Divya KhuranaBollywood star and Hero No. 1, Govinda, and Sunita Ahuja's daughter Tina Ahuja gave an interview where she talked about menstrual health and stirred a debate. In her recent interview, she called period cramps just psychological and claimed that such problems are more common in cities like Mumbai and Delhi. Govinda’s daughter calls period cramps ‘psychological’ In a recent interview with Hautterfly, where Tina appeared with her mom Sunita, she stated, "I have stayed mostly in Chandigarh, and I have heard only these girls from Bombay and Delhi speak about cramps. Half of the problem comes from setting up these circles who are talking about the problem, and sometimes the ones who don’t get cramps also start to feel it psychologically. Women in Punjab and other small cities don’t even realize when they get their periods or undergo menopause. They don’t feel a thing." She further continued and added, "I have a very desi body. I don’t feel back pain and cramps. But here I see girls always talking about feeling cramps. You eat your ghee, correct your diet, give up unnecessary dieting, sleep well, and things get normal. Most of the girls suffer due to their obsession with dieting." Sunita also lent her support to her daughter but requested everyone to consult a doctor. She joked, "Don’t blame me later saying, ‘Govinda ki biwi Sunita ne ek chamcha ghee khaane bola aur heart mein blockage hogaya (Govinda’s wife Sunita suggested including a spoon of ghee in the diet, and it caused a heart blockage).’" Netizens lash out at Govinda’s daughter Tina's comment has garnered netizens' attention, who have called out Tina for her views. One user wrote, "Oh, so the pain and cramps I had for 3 days while passing clots due to menorrhagia was all in my head." "Who's she? What nonsense is she speaking?" another one commented. A third user wrote, "Is she even aware of diseases that have the most common symptom, which is debilitating period pain, like endometriosis? Anyway, no one is talking about it, and people like her will only make it worse." "Someone plz get this girl educated! Lack of awareness causes problems! I’m someone who suffered pains all my life; so, for heaven's sake, stop spreading false news," another one commented. Sunita got married to Govinda on March 11, 1987. Sunita is Govinda’s uncle Anand Singh’s sister-in-law. Govinda and Sunita have two children, a daughter, Tina Ahuja, and a son, Yashvardhan.

He has surpassed the wealth of many of his more successful acting contemporaries. Zayed Khan's acting career and his transition to business Zayed is the son of Sanjay Khan and nephew of Feroz Khan. He began his career at the age of 22, in the year 2003. Films like Dus, where he played a supporting role worked very well. However, he failed as a solo lead. He had 10 flops between 2005-2012, including Fight Club and Mission Istanbul. His last film, Sharafat Gayi Tel Lene, released in 2015 also flopped at the box office. He made a comeback on TV with Haasil, by that time, he had done 15 films, of which 13 crashed, one was average, and one hit.

We are in the age of social media, where your image is… You’re probably living a life you cannot afford. Some people are doing well, but 80% of them are not. They’re becoming broke. They have EMIs and debt, and then they do stupid things to rectify stupid things. It’s a rabbit hole." He called peer pressure to show off 'terrible, obscene, criminal', the actor added, "I don't know if this is the way forward for youngsters, but grow a spine, have character." Earlier this year, Zayed had also shared his plans to make a comeback although he has not revealed much about his project.

28 December,2024 11:33 AM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentAuthor Twinkle Khanna recently opened up about his her kids Nitara and Aarav get compared for their skin colour by people. Twinkle shares two kids with her actor husband Akshay Kumar. While Aarav was born in 2002, Nitara was born in 2012. In a recent conversation with FICCI FLO, Twinkle spoke about how she made her daughter feel good about her skin despite constant comparison with her older brother who has a lighter skintone. "I learnt a lot with my first child. And I think your first child tends to be that manual. You experiment a little bit on that child. With my second one, what I realised was that… I thought she looked like a normal Indian girl and there was always this comparison between her and her brother in skin colour or things like that. Things that exist in our country. And I decided that I am going to make sure that she believed she is absolutely wonderful, so if she has a unibrow, I told her that look you are as beautiful as Frida Kahlo, and she was as amazing and so are you. If she is brown, I would tell her that her skin is golden,” she said. Twinkle further narrated an incident when Nitara proudly embraced her skintone during a family beach outing. The proud mother shared, "So eventually, one day, I think my proudest moment was when she was sitting with her brother and we were going to the beach and he was putting on sunblock. She said ‘I don’t really need so much sunblock because my skin is greater than yours’. And she said a white T-shirt gets dirty but a brown T-shirt doesn’t. You can’t see it so I am greater. So I thought that was a triumph". Twinkle Khanna on moving to London Recently Twinkle earned her Masters degree by attending college in London. She moved countries with her daughter to pursue academics. Twinkle then spoke about her supportive family and how her husband Akshay Kumar instantly agreed when she spoke about moving countries. But, Twinkle said that even if Akshay hadn’t agreed, she would have moved anyway. “I was very lucky that my family supported me that my husband was fine with the fact that I am moving countries and taking my younger one but even if he would not have been fine, I would have still done it but it would have been very difficult and traumatic. There would be a lot of yelling and screaming but he was okay with it,” she said.
