At times, he has addressed the topic playfully, pointing out that marriage first requires the right partner. At other moments, he has been practical, admitting that his demanding work schedule leaves little room for the time and patience a relationship deserves. He has openly said that even when he is home, he can be difficult to live with, a statement that reflects rare self-awareness.
There have also been occasions when his tone turned philosophical. He shared that while he would welcome marriage if it happened, he had also made peace with the idea that it might not. In one particularly introspective moment, he spoke about a relationship that once mattered deeply but eventually faded. He chose to let the person go, believing that holding on would only bring unhappiness and guilt. This acceptance marked a mature understanding of love and freedom.
When conversations shifted toward the idea of having children, Salman remained non-committal, responding with his trademark calm that such things happen when the time is right. His humour often softened these moments, turning potentially intrusive questions into laughter-filled exchanges.
Despite remaining unmarried, Salman Khan is known for his caring nature, especially toward those close to him. Colleagues and co-stars have often spoken about his support during difficult times. From being just a phone call away during the pandemic to offering comfort even after long gaps in contact, his presence has been steady and reassuring.
What truly sets him apart is his bond with children. Around kids, his tough exterior melts away. He becomes playful, patient, and deeply affectionate. Instances of him dancing with differently abled children or quietly comforting a restless child during an interview reveal a side rarely associated with his larger-than-life image. He remains unruffled by chaos, smiling through pulled hair, interruptions, and spontaneous affection.
Those who have observed him closely often say that his ease with children comes from the fact that he still carries a childlike spirit himself. Mischievous, curious, and impulsive, he navigates life with a blend of innocence and experience. This quality perhaps explains why many around him feel protected and at ease despite his intimidating stardom.
Salman Khan has also faced serious health challenges, living for years with severe pain caused by Trigeminal Neuralgia. Yet, even in the face of life-threatening surgery, he maintained his humour and resilience, emerging stronger and returning to the screen with renewed energy.
At sixty, Salman Khan continues to surprise. He remains single, yet emotionally rich, guarded yet generous, intense yet gentle. Whether marriage eventually finds him or not, his life reflects connection, compassion, and a deep understanding of human relationships, proving that commitment can exist in many forms beyond tradition.

]]>Sonam, who is currently being praised for her strong performance in the newly released film Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat alongside Harshvardhan Rane, portrays an actress who stands up against a toxic relationship. The film has drawn attention to her acting depth, which she feels was long overlooked by Hindi filmmakers.
In a recent conversation with ANI, Sonam shared that despite a successful career in Punjabi cinema, it took her several years to find a role in Bollywood that allowed her to display her acting skills. She explained that most offers she received in the past were focused on her looks rather than her talent.
The actress said that Hindi filmmakers struggled to see her in non-glamorous roles because they had not followed her Punjabi work. She added that this perception delayed her Bollywood debut, as directors often doubted her ability to handle emotionally demanding characters.
Sonam expressed disappointment with the film industry’s habit of stereotyping actors based on their appearance or social media image. She recalled that even when she was open to auditioning for challenging roles, some filmmakers refused to test her because they were already convinced she couldn’t deliver such performances.
Reflecting on her latest film, Sonam said that Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat finally gave her a role that allowed her to showcase her full potential as an actor. She described the experience as a breakthrough after years of being underestimated by the Hindi film industry.
A leading name in Punjabi cinema, Sonam Bajwa has starred in several hit films, including Punjab 1984, Sardaar Ji 2, Nikka Zaildar, Manje Bistre, Carry On Jatta 2, Ardab Mutiyaran, and Honsla Rakh. She has also made her entry into mainstream Bollywood with appearances in Housefull 5 and Baaghi 4.
Her latest release, Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat, directed by Milap Zaveri, continues to run in theatres and has further solidified her reputation as a talented performer capable of far more than glamorous roles.

Bell Bottom was originally supposed to release on the silver screens on May 28 but it got postponed due to the second wave of coronavirus. Then, the makers zeroed in on July 27, but since many states didn’t ease the restrictions on the opening of cinema halls, they once again pushed the date to August 19.
Earlier, there were speculations around the direct-to-OTT release of the spy thriller, but Vashu Bhagnani’s Pooja Entertainment released a statement and dismissed all the rumours. Akshay Kumar also shared the teaser of the film, which was shot in the UK, amid heightened COVID-19 safety measures.
Bell Bottom is produced by Vashu Bhagnani, Jackky Bhagnani, Deepshikha Deshmukh of Pooja Entertainment, in association with Emmay Entertainment’s Monisha Advani, Madhu Bhojwani and Nikkhil Advani.

]]>The shooting is taking place at the YRF Studios in Mumbai.
“The new schedule of Tiger 3 has started today in Yash Raj Films Studios. It is a closely guarded set and one can expect no picture to leak from here. Salman and Katrina’s fitness will be tested in this schedule as well as the extensive overseas schedule that is set to start from mid-August,” a source said.
The source added, “Salman teased his physique in Tiger 3 on his social media and it is evident that he is building the best body that he has ever showcased on screen. Katrina, on the other hand, has been keeping an extremely low profile with hardly any revelation of how good she is looking currently. There’s a reason for this also. She has worked like a beast to be her fittest best and people will have to wait to see her fittest best on-screen when Tiger 3 is set to release.”
Looks like Salman Khan and Katrina are set for some breath-taking action sequences.
“It will be intense for these two actors because director Maneesh Sharma has planned some jaw-dropping and hugely risky action sequences that will truly test their overall fitness levels when they start their overseas schedule. Of course, Salman and Katrina are game for it and ready for any challenges to be thrown at them. It will be a fun schedule,” the source further said, teasing what’s in store for the movie buffs.
For the unversed, Tiger 3 is the third film in the successful Ek Tha Tiger franchise. Actor Emraan Hashmi will play the role of a villain in the upcoming movie. A few days ago, he had also shared a picture of his chiselled physique, hinting that it’s his new look for Tiger 3.

He is currently in Bhopal to shoot for the Junglee Pictures-backed project. “The subject of ‘Doctor G’ is very close to me.

]]>In the past, the megastar brought to life the poetry of Sahir Ludhiyanvi and Javed Akhtar in classics like ‘Kabhi Kabhie’ and ‘Silsila’. Now, he will be reciting a poem written by Rumi for their upcoming film.
In April this year, composers Vishal-Shekhar had recorded the orchestral rendition of the title track with 107 musicians in Prague.
Anand Pandit said,” Shekhar Ravjiani has composed the tune beautifully. And now Amit ji will lend his matchless voice and add another dimension altogether to the track. He is a perfectionist and everything he does, be it a small movement before the camera, an action sequence, a close-up, a song he has to hum, or just be silent, he gives the moment his all. And I am looking forward to seeing how he delivers the poem because it is going to be a once in a lifetime experience.”
He also praised the music and added, “The film’s theme, its suspense and mysterious elements all come together wonderfully in the score and now Amit ji will add his own magic to it.”
It is the first time that Amitabh Bachchan and Emraan Hashmi will be seen sharing the screen.

]]>The post I measure the humour in my movies by the width of my smile, says Priyadarshan appeared first on The Edge Media.
]]>Creating the perfect situation for comedy is difficult and making people laugh even more. I make sure, first, whether I can laugh or not. Because I generally don’t laugh (that much), I am a miser in laughing. But once I know I can smile, I am assured in theatres I can make people laugh. That’s how I measure it and have been doing it for the last 39 years,” Priyadarshan told PTI.
The director began his career in Malayalam cinema in the early 80s and is credited for helming some of the most acclaimed, entertaining comedies of the era, right from his directorial debut Poochakkoru Mookkuthi (1984), Boeing Boeing to Mazha Peyyunnu Maddalam Kottunnu among others.
Priyadarshan is currently awaiting the release of his latest Bollywood comedy, Hungama 2, scheduled to be premiere on Disney+Hotstar on July 23. The film will mark the filmmaker’s return to Hindi cinema after the 2013 action drama Rangrezz.
