Twinkle Khanna’s films had a pattern you probably missed - and it’s about her brothers!

https://ift.tt/GJOnQNE

Bollywood is full of fascinating quirks and patterns, and one of the most peculiar involved Twinkle Khanna’s films from the late 1990s and early 2000s. A strange coincidence emerged in several of her releases - her on-screen brothers had an unfortunate tendency to meet tragic ends, leaving her character to navigate the storyline alone.

It all started with International Khiladi in 1999, where Vivek Shauq played Twinkle’s brother. His character is killed off early in the film, setting a dramatic tone for the narrative. The same year, in Baadshah, Deepak Tijori took on the role of Twinkle’s sibling, only to suffer a similar fate. His untimely death becomes a crucial turning point in the story, driving the plot forward.

Then came Mela in 2000, a film remembered for its larger-than-life drama and intense action sequences. Ayub Khan played Twinkle’s brother in this tale of revenge and resilience. In one of the film’s most shocking moments, Ayub’s character is killed by the antagonist (played by Tinu Verma), leaving Twinkle’s character vulnerable and alone to face the harsh realities of a lawless world.

While it’s not uncommon for Bollywood films to use the demise of a loved one as a plot device to heighten emotional stakes, the recurrence of this trope in Twinkle’s films stood out. Three films in quick succession featured her brothers meeting tragic ends, creating a pattern that was hard to ignore.

Though her on-screen career eventually shifted away from such roles, this quirky detail remains a memorable chapter in Twinkle Khanna’s Bollywood journey. It’s a testament to how even seemingly incidental elements in films can weave unexpected patterns, making Bollywood’s storytelling tapestry all the more intriguing.

Kartik Aaryan reveals his relationship status: “Main single hun….Sau takka”

https://ift.tt/DB75Ou8

Kartik Aaryan, one of Bollywood’s favorite stars, recently thrilled his fans by confirming that he is officially single. Known for his boy-next-door appeal and impressive performances, the actor addressed the relationship rumors at the Zee Real Heroes Awards 2024.

Kartik Aaryan humorously confirmed, “Main single hun, poori tarah single hun. Pakka, sau takka. When questioned if he was channeling his famous Pyaar Ka Punchnama monologue, he laughed and explained, “Wakt mera filmon mein jaa raha hai, isliye time nahi mil raha hai. Baar baar, it’s like aap same hi office mein jaa rahe ho. Kahin aur jaane ka ya kisi aur se milne ka mauka nahi mil raha hai.” (I’m spending all my time in films, so there’s no time for anything else. It’s like going to the same office repeatedly — there’s no chance to go anywhere else or meet anyone new.”)

Commenting on his rugged appearance, Kartik Aaryan jokingly remarked that his scruffy beard is evidence of his single status.

Kartik Aaryan has had a stellar year professionally in 2024, delivering Chandu Champion, a sports biopic, and major hit Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, a horror-comedy that highlighted his versatility. Looking ahead, he is set to star alongside Triptii Dimri in Anurag Basu’s Aashiqui 3.

Fans are also excited about Kartik Aaryan's reconciliation with Karan Johar following the widely publicized fallout over Dostana 2. Reports suggest that the two have put their differences behind them and are collaborating on the eagerly awaited project Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri.

Kartik Aaryan’s work ethic and charm continue to captivate audiences, cementing his status as one of Bollywood’s most bankable and beloved actors. As 2024 draws to a close, 2025 looks equally promising for the star, who remains committed to his career. For now, female fans can celebrate knowing Bollywood's favorite bachelor is still single, though his dedication to his craft may just make him the hardest catch in town.

Nikkhil Advani rules out Kal Ho Naa Ho sequel; says, “Shah Rukh Khan embodies…. Not a single person can do it”

https://ift.tt/fFZywYz

Nikkhil Advani’s beloved film Kal Ho Naa Ho was re-released in theatres last year, allowing fans to experience the charm of Shah Rukh Khan, Saif Ali Khan, and Preity Zinta once again. The movie's overwhelming reception sparked speculation and excitement about a potential sequel. Nikkhil Advani recently discussed this possibility in a conversation with Mukesh Chhabra for Mashable.

When asked about recasting Kal Ho Naa Ho, Nikkhil Advani firmly stated, “You can’t make a new cast. Why would you want to? Shah Rukh is Shah Rukh. It doesn’t matter if they still look the same… Shah Rukh Khan embodies…. Not a single person can do it.”

The filmmaker also confirmed that a sequel is not being planned and expressed his belief that Kal Ho Naa Ho 2 should not be made. He explained, “Kyu karoge aap? Log aake mujhe bol rahe hain make a part two. Abhi it re-released right? Films I’ve done… Kal Ho Naa Ho re-released, Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham re-released, Karan Arjun re-released. This is incredible, aisa hota nahi hai."

Kal Ho Naa Ho premiered on November 28, 2003. The film featured Shah Rukh Khan, Saif Ali Khan, Preity Zinta, Jaya Bachchan, Sushma Seth, Reema Lagoo, and others. Produced by Yash Johar under the Dharma Productions banner, the film’s music was composed by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy.

It has been years since Kal Ho Naa Ho first hit theatres, but it was recently re-released on a limited number of screens across the country. Fans filled the theatres, sharing clips and videos of the film's iconic scenes and tracks. The romantic drama was both a critical success and a box-office hit when it originally released.

While fans won’t see Shah Rukh Khan in a Kal Ho Naa Ho sequel, he will soon star in King, where he is set to play a mafia boss. Reports suggest that his daughter, Suhana Khan, will feature as the parallel lead, with Shah Rukh's character serving as a mentor to Suhana's character.
