Vikram Bhatt supports Ibrahim Ali Khan and Khushi Kapoor after their debut film 'Nadaaniyan' faces backlash, emphasizing their talent.

Vikram Bhatt Supports New Actors Amid Criticism

Despite backlash, Vikram Bhatt defends Ibrahim Ali Khan and Khushi Kapoor for their roles in 'Nadaaniyan', praising their fresh talent.

Ibrahim and Khushi face criticism for 'Nadaaniyan', but Vikram Bhatt defends them, citing talent and potential.

Ibrahim Ali Khan, the son of Bollywood stars Saif Ali Khan and Amrita Singh, recently made his acting debut alongside Khushi Kapoor in the Netflix original film "Nadaaniyan."
However, the young actors faced significant backlash from audiences and critics alike for their performances in the film.
Renowned filmmaker Vikram Bhatt has stepped up to defend Ibrahim and Khushi amidst the wave of criticism. Speaking with Galatta India, Bhatt expressed his confusion over the harsh trolling the film and its leads have received online.
"I like both Khushi and Ibrahim," he stated, emphasizing his appreciation for the young talent. "I liked Ibrahim. Whether the film itself is good or not is a different matter, but the pressure of the nepotism debate means newcomers are expected to be exceptional right out of the gate, which isn't fair."
Bhatt highlighted that Ibrahim is just embarking on his cinematic journey. "It's his first film. Who delivers a superb performance in their first endeavor?" he questioned, asserting that Ibrahim has a commendable screen presence and evident acting skills. "The film wasn't exactly my taste, as I'm not the target audience. It's designed for Gen Z and teenagers, but as a director, I saw potential in both Ibrahim and Khushi."
Addressing inevitable comparisons between Ibrahim and his father, Saif Ali Khan, Bhatt remarked, "That's bound to happen. Ibrahim has a striking resemblance to Saif, so comparisons are natural. But I believe Ibrahim is at par with Saif, perhaps even surpassing his father's debut performances. I'm confident that Ibrahim will rise to become a significant star."
For context, Saif Ali Khan began his Bollywood career with the film "Parampara" in 1993, directed by Yash Chopra. The film featured an impressive cast, including Sunil Dutt, Vinod Khanna, Aamir Khan, and others. "Parampara" was a debut for both Saif and actress Ramya Krishna.
Directed by Shauna Gautam, "Nadaaniyan" debuted on Netflix on March 7, 2025, produced by Karan Johar's Dharmatic Entertainment. Despite the mixed reception, the film marks an important milestone for its young stars, poised at the beginning of their careers.

Kim Sharma's Journey to Mohabbatein Stardom

Kim Sharma opens up about her unexpected entry into Bollywood through Mohabbatein, overcoming early challenges and auditions, emerging as a notable actress alongside industry legends.

Kim Sharma shared her unexpected journey to stardom in Mohabbatein, overcoming early doubts and impressing Aditya Chopra.

Mohabbatein is celebrated as one of the iconic cult romantic films, even decades after its release in 2000. The film served as a launching pad for several newcomers, including Uday Chopra, Shamita Shetty, Jugal Hansraj, Kim Sharma, Jimmy Sheirgill, and Preeti Jhangiani.&nbsp;
In a recent chat on Kunickaa Sadanand's YouTube channel, Kim Sharma opened up about her journey and the unexpected path that led her to Mohabbatein.
She recounted a critical moment during her audition when Karan Johar expressed doubt about her potential, candidly telling her, "You don't know how to dance or deliver dialogues; why do you want to become a heroine?"
Kim revealed that her entry into the film industry was serendipitous. She was spotted by the Yash Raj Films team in a commercial, which led them to contact her mother.
Unaware of Kim's passion and frequent travels, her mother initially rejected the offer. It was only when YRF approached Kim directly that she decided to seize the opportunity.
Her road to securing the role in Mohabbatein involved multiple auditions. After initial rounds with Nikkhil Advani and then Karan Johar, it was her third audition with Aditya Chopra that sealed the deal. Kim reflected on this journey as a moment of coming full circle, as she now works for Karan&rsquo;s organization.
Despite landing a leading role alongside iconic stars Shah Rukh Khan and Amitabh Bachchan, Kim admitted that her parents did not even congratulate her, and the magnitude of the opportunity only dawned on her much later.

Alka Yagnik on Osama Bin Laden's Music Taste

In a candid interview, Alka Yagnik humorously addresses Osama Bin Laden's unexpected admiration for her songs and discusses industry challenges.

Alka Yagnik humorously reacts to Osama Bin Laden's fandom and discusses music industry politics. She remains positive and dedicated to her career.

In a recent candid interview with Anu Ranjan, legendary playback singer Alka Yagnik, a beloved figure across generations, opened up about an unexpected fan&mdash;Osama Bin Laden.
Following the 2011 raid on Bin Laden's Abbottabad compound, the CIA uncovered an intriguing musical collection on his computers, featuring Bollywood hits by famed singers Udit Narayan, Kumar Sanu, and Alka Yagnik.
When asked about the discovery, Yagnik humorously responded, "Is it my fault? Osama Bin Laden jo bhi hai jaisa bhi hai, uske andar ek chota sa kalakaar hoga kahin... (There's an artiste inside him no matter what he did). Pasand hai toh phir, accha hai na (It's good that he liked my songs, right)?"
Among the tracks found on Bin Laden's laptops were the evocative title track from "Dil Tera Aashiq" with Salman Khan and Madhuri Dixhit, "Ajnabee Mujhko Itna Bata" from Ajay Devgn and Kajol's "Pyar Toh Hona Hi Tha," and "Tu Chand Hai Poonam Ka" from "Jaane Tamanna."
During the same interview, Yagnik candidly addressed the industry politics that have plagued her illustrious career. "Politics exists in every line of work," she admitted. "A lot of songs were taken away from me."
Reflecting on her career, she alluded to a particular contemporary who employed unfair tactics against her. "Like I'd rehearse a song only to know that a senior singer had eventually sung it," she revealed.
Despite these challenges, Yagnik maintained a positive outlook. "I'd say koi baat nahin. I didn't bother who was doing what, saying what... I was a homebody and only too happy to return home after work. I sang from my heart." She expressed self-criticism and a dedication to her craft, noting, "Even if today a song of mine is playing on the radio, and I find something wrong with it, I ask the driver to switch the station."
Alka Yagnik, a seven-time Filmfare Award winner for Best Female Playback Singer, recently made headlines when she disclosed having a rare hearing disorder&mdash;a revelation that left fans concerned but supportive.
Her openness about both the tribulations and triumphs of her career continues to earn her admiration and respect from fans worldwide.

Raghu Ram shares a cultural lesson from working with Ajith on 'Good Bad Ugly,' appreciating Ajith's dedication in cinema.

Raghu Ram on Set with Ajith in 'Good Bad Ugly'

Raghu Ram reflects on cultural lessons from filming 'Good Bad Ugly' with Ajith, praised for his dedication and self-determination.

Raghu Ram's journey in South cinema highlights Ajith's dedication and a cultural lesson on respectful address norms.

Former creator of MTV Roadies, Raghu Ram, has ventured into the South Indian film industry, playing the antagonist in Ajith's much-anticipated film "Good Bad Ugly."
Despite his extensive experience in the entertainment sector, Raghu Ram recently shared a cultural lesson he learned on set, highlighting the unique star culture in the southern film industry.
In an engaging conversation with *India Today*, Raghu Ram recounted the moment he realized the magnitude of the opportunity he had been given.
He candidly spoke about an incident where he unknowingly breached the cultural norms by addressing Ajith simply by his first name during their interactions.
Hailing from Delhi and having worked extensively in Mumbai, Raghu Ram was accustomed to a different professional decorum.
"When I met Ajith on set, he introduced himself to me, and being of similar age, I naturally called him by his name. This, however, was met with silence and visible shock from the crew," he recalled.
The surprise stemmed from the respectful ethos prevalent in the southern film industry, where addressing senior actors with reverence is customary.
Raghu Ram admitted, "The crew later explained that it was considered disrespectful. Even the director and assistant director, while shooting in Spain, advised me on the matter. I chose to call Ajith 'Sir' to ease the discomfort, even though Ajith himself seemed unfazed by it."
Despite the initial cultural faux pas, Raghu Ram expressed his admiration for Ajith's unwavering dedication to his craft. "Ajith's commitment is unparalleled.
He doesn&rsquo;t need further validation or success, yet he continues to challenge himself. His approach resonates with self-determination, setting his own parameters in life, without being swayed by external opinions," Raghu remarked, praising Ajith as an inspiring figure driven by an inner passion.
As anticipation mounts for "Good Bad Ugly", director Adhik Ravichandran has already fueled excitement by releasing Ajith Kumar&rsquo;s first look from the film.
The director shared this milestone with enthusiasm, reflecting on his personal journey from an ardent fan to directing one of Tamil cinema's most versatile actors. With a heartfelt note accompanying the first-look poster, Adhik echoed the sentiment of countless fans and colleagues who hold Ajith in high esteem.
"Good Bad Ugly" promises to be a landmark project, and with Raghu Ram onboard, the film is set to explore new dimensions, blending talent from diverse entertainment realms. As Raghu Ram dives deeper into the world of Southern cinema, his journey alongside Ajith is one to watch, offering both cultural insights and cinematic brilliance.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan declined 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai' to avoid typecasting. Rani Mukerji portrayed Tina Malhotra. Aishwarya's recent work is 'Ponniyin Selvan: II'.

Aishwarya Rai on Rejecting 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai'

Aishwarya Rai declined the role of Tina in 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai' to prevent typecasting. Rani Mukerji's performance became iconic. Aishwarya's latest film is 'Ponniyin Selvan: II'.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan declined the role of Tina in 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai' due to fears of stereotyping. Rani Mukerji played the role, making it iconic. Aishwarya's recent work includes 'Ponniyin Selvan: II'.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's illustrious career, spanning over two decades, has seen her turn down numerous high-profile projects that didn't resonate with her artistic sensibilities.
Among these was Karan Johar's iconic film "Kuch Kuch Hota Hai," where she declined the role of Tina Malhotra, originally played by Rani Mukerji. This character was pivotal as Shah Rukh Khan's initial love interest in the film.
In a candid conversation with Filmfare, Aishwarya revealed her reasons for rejecting the offer. She expressed concerns about potential criticism, fearing that audiences and critics would typecast her.
She remarked, "Had I accepted the role, people would have said, 'Oh, Aishwarya Rai is back to her modeling antics&mdash;straight hair, mini-dresses, and glamorous pouts.' Ultimately, the storyline favors a more grounded character. I knew doing Kuch Kuch Hota Hai could have invited severe backlash."
Interestingly, before Rani Mukerji's memorable portrayal, the role of Tina was also declined by well-known actresses like Twinkle Khanna, Urmila Matondkar, and Tabu, each for their own reasons.
Rani Mukerji's interpretation of Tina Malhotra remains one of her career highlights, endearing her to audiences worldwide and contributing significantly to the film's status as a cult classic in the romantic comedy genre.
On the professional front, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's latest cinematic venture was in "Ponniyin Selvan: II," which was released in 2023.
