I like it.” Twinkle, pointing at Kajol, adds, “She does gymnastics. Nothing is tricky for her.” Varun humorously counters, “No, no, that gymnastics would be for you.

In an earlier teaser, Varun Dhawan was seen playfully mouthing his own movie dialogues and humorously admitted to rewatching “Mela” multiple times, despite not being a fan of it. Both Alia and Varun took part in lively segments with Kajol and Twinkle.

Ace cameraman Manoj Paramahamsa, one of the cinematographers behind the blockbuster film ‘They Call Him OG’ featuring actor Pawan Kalyan, has expressed his gratitude in a heartfelt note. He mentioned that while he always regarded Vijay as the most hardworking star, Pawan Kalyan surpassed expectations during the making of OG.

In his post on X, Manoj wrote, “Time for my thanksgiving for the small part I played in the film #TheyCallHimOG.” He began by thanking the various technicdigihunt involved in the project, before directing his appreciation to the lead actor, Pawan Kalyan.

Manoj reflected on their time together: “Pawan Kalyan sir – after working with you earlier, OG truly felt like seeing your Viswaroopam. Those 16 days were a roller-coaster. Back-to-back action blocks, emotional scenes, mass elevation sequences, short flights for official work, even signing documents with blood and a katana in one hand while learning Japanese lines! Too much to ask of anyone – but you delivered it all with ease, and your determination shows your passion for the art of cinema.”

He admitted that he had always thought Tamil star Vijay was the hardest worker, but Pawan Kalyan had taken his dedication to another level for OG. “Thank you for trusting me again with your time. Beyond cinema, I deeply respect the way you balance responsibility towards those who trust your governance – yet we still wish to see your Viswaroopam on screen again.”

Manoj also commended the film’s director, Sujeeth. He stated, “If a film looks visually stunning, credit goes to the director. You decide the time of day, you fight for the budget. You went further: mock shoots for every sequence, stunt visualisation and pre-visualisation for action blocks, mood boards, lighting cues, and references inspired by real art. Any DoP would have delivered strong results with such prep and vision for OG.”

He praised the dedication of the team: “Hats off to you, Udhay, Bannu, Unreal Engine pre-visualisation artist, and the entire AD team – fabulous work! As a strong believer in preparation and pre-visualisation, I was happily surprised. For this 16-day hero’s schedule, you prepped for over six months, showcasing your perseverance! This well-deserved success is something you should cherish.”

Saira took to Instagram to post a series of monochrome pictures from their engagement day, bringing back cherished memories.

Reflecting on that special day, she wrote: “What, indeed, is the purest love, if not faith? A faith so deep in one’s beloved that all inclination to question, to doubt, or to weigh affection upon scales of reason, simply dissolves.”

“It was upon this very day, the 2nd of October, 1966, that my heart bound itself irrevocably to my one true love, my dearest Dilip Sahib. And from that moment, I never questioned, nor did I find reason to. In times of happiness, in seasons of grief, and in the quietude of our everyday hours, I simply loved.”

She shared how Dilip Kumar defined love: “For love, as my Sahib himself once so poignantly declared, ‘Pyaar mein mohabbat hai, mohabbat mein junoon hai, aur junoon mein zindagi’—is not a matter of conditions, but of surrender.”

Describing it as a foundation, Saira added, “It is the very foundation upon which all else rests. It bears no burden, harbours no suspicion, entertains no expectation. Instead, it grants the sweetest liberty of all—the liberty to devote oneself entirely.”

“In that devotion, I discovered the essence of love as it was meant to be: unconditional and enduring, a flame neither time nor circumstance could diminish. And today, when I love back…I see two souls living wholeheartedly, loving solely! Happy Engagement Anniversary to US,” she concluded.

Saira Banu married Dilip Kumar in 1966 when she was 22 and he was 44 years old. They did not have any children. In his autobiography, Dilip Kumar: The Substance and the Shadow, he shared that Saira had conceived in 1972 but faced complications in the pregnancy, resulting in a miscarriage.

After his surprising eviction from Bigg Boss 19, Awez Darbar has spoken about his disappointment and suspicions of bias and selective outrage, particularly regarding contestant Amaal Mallik. While expressing gratitude for the love and support from fans, the content creator hinted that the outcome may not have been entirely fair.

Shocking Eviction

“Somewhere, it feels like Amaal was being saved, but I can’t say for sure,” Awez remarked in a candid conversation. “I don’t know if Gauahar Khan influenced it, but I gave my best and believed everything would be fine. Now I just want to move forward and leave everything behind.” He noted that the eviction was a shock, especially considering his growing popularity online. “I was trending at number one on Twitter, my clips were viral, and people were supporting me. So it was shocking to me to come out so early. But at the end of the day, it’s a game, and I learnt a lot of things from it,” he acknowledged, reflecting on the unpredictable nature of reality television.

Family’s Reaction to His Exit

Awez detailed how his family reacted to his exit, and their response was one of surprise. “First, Amaal himself hugged me and cried, saying, ‘How did you get out? You were playing so well.’ Even Nagma and Anam – my sister and my mom – asked me the same thing. Everybody believed I was doing so well and trending. So they were surprised and shocked to see me getting evicted,” he shared.

A Positive Outlook

Despite the setback, Awez remains optimistic and grateful for the experience. “I am addicted to reality shows now, and a new ‘Kaleshi Awez’ has been born. But I will never go below the belt. I have learnt to take a stand everywhere, even at home. My family sometimes worries, asking, ‘What are you doing?’ But I tell them Bigg Boss taught me to take a stand,” he said.

With a blend of wit, confidence, and a dedicated fan base, Awez is looking forward to the future. “It’s just the beginning,” he stated, indicating that his journey in the entertainment world and reality shows is far from over.
