Zaira Wasim on memories with Suhani

Zaira Wasim said, "I just read about it and I still cannot get my head around it. I wish this is a rumour I hope this was false. The moment I heard the news I had a flashback of all the great time we spent. She was such a good soul, and we had such great memories. I cannot imagine what her parents must be going through. I pray they find the strength.”

Zaira also tweeted about Suhani, "I’m shocked beyond words by the news of Suhani Bhatnagar’s passing. My heart goes out to her family during this incredibly difficult time. The thought of what her parents must be experiencing fills me with so much sorrow. Utterly speechless. My heartfelt condolences.”

Dangal

Zaira and Suhani gained a lot of praise for their performance. The film was a biopic based on renowned wrestler Mahavir Phogat and his daughters, Geeta and Babita Phogat. Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, the film starred Aamir Khan and Sakshi Tanwar as Zaira and Suhani's onscreen parents. Sanya Malhotra and Fatima Sana Shaikh played elder Babita and Geeta.

Zaira and Suhani were selected among many young talents who auditioned for the film. Sharing her experience, Suhani had told Movies Talkies, "I gave an audition there (in Delhi). After that when I came out my mother said, ‘Kaisa hua, kaisa hua?’ Maine bola, ‘Mumma maine apna best de diya hai. Bas baki toh sab bhagwan ke upar hai.’ Then my mother was regularly asking father ki ‘Call aya?’ (My mother asked me how the audition went, and I said that I have given my best. She regularly asked if there was a call back from the team). One day the production guy called and said your daughter has been shortlisted and you have to go to Bombay. I was really surprised and I was so happy. I thanked to God.”

Rashmika mandanna claims she 'escaped death today', animal actress shares dramatic moments on instagram

Actor Rashmika Mandanna seemed to have had a harrowing experience during her recent air travel. The flight she was travelling in seemed to have suffered some technical glitches, leading to a distressing situation mid-air for her and her co-passenger.

Rashmika Mandanna's harrowing flight experiance

However, no untoward incidents occurred, and all passengers, including Rashmika Mandanna, landed safely. After the incident, Rashmika took to her Instagram account and shared a picture of herself with her co-passenger, Shraddha Das. In the photo, both Rashmika's and Shraddha's legs are pressed against the front of their seats, seemingly bracing for impact. She captioned the Instagram story, "Just FYI, this is how we escaped death today."

According to reports, Rashmika and Shraddha boarded a flight to Hyderabad from the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport in Mumbai. About 30 minutes after takeoff, the flight developed an issue, forcing the pilot to return to Mumbai and putting all passengers in a tense situation.

Rashmika Mandanna's thriving acting career

On the career front, Rashmika has become one of the most sought-after actresses across the Indian film industry. While she made her screen debut in Kannada with Kirik Party in 2016, she went on to achieve great fame in other South Indian film industries too.

Not ranveer singh but this actor was almost finalized for band baaja baaraat opposite anushka sharma

Ranveer Singh is currently making headlines because he is reported to start shooting for Shaktimaan after wrapping up Don 3. Although the actor is bagging projects back-to-back today, there was a time he wasn’t even the first choice for his debut film Band Baaja Baaraat. Of course, later, when Ranveer actually acted in the movie opposite Anushka Sharma, he received all the accolades and it paved way for all the kind of movies he was about to be offered. Ranveer was actually a replacement in the YRF film, for another actor, who is considered Ranveer’s biggest competitor even today, was offered the role.

Who was offered the role?

None other than Ranbir Kapoor was the original choice for Band Baajaa Baaraat. Back on Koffee With Karan 4, the actor even confessed that he regrets turning down the offer.

Karan advised Aditya Chopra against casting Ranveer

On the third season of the show, Karan revealed that he had advised Aditya Chopra of YRF films. He recalled seeing Ranveer with a group of assistant directors and being unable to distinguish him from the ADs. Karan then questioned Aditya’s choice and Anushka passed one comment – ouch. Aditya defended Ranveer back then saying he is a good actor and after watching Ranveer in Band Baaja Baaraat, Karan also ended up calling him ‘a movie star.’

The buzz with Ranveer and Don 3

Ranveer will replace the OG Mukesh Khanna in Shaktimaan. This is after replacing Shah Rukh Khan in the Don franchise. Right after Don 2 released, people were almost certain that SRK will reprise the role, for nobody can play the part better than him (except maybe the original actor, Amitabh Bachchan). However, Farhan Akhtar took everybody by surprise (a rude shock according to them) when he announced that not SRK but Ranveer will be the leading face of Don 3. We wonder how will netizens react when Ranveer actually ends up playing Shaktimaan on screen too.
