Watching your parents age is the most difficult thing to accept. I still remember how I had to really run to keep in step with mom. Today when I took her to the dentist every stair for her was an uphill climb. The only thing that’s constant is our holding of hands.

30 years of SRK-Gauri marriage today. A few weeks before he got married, mom had interviewed him on the sets of Chamatkar where he gave her a Delhi landline number in case she needs to speak for more before adding he won’t be available the coming few days. He was getting married.

Men in denial. Men in no hurry to retire. Men in search of a fairy tale ending. Men, who make mistakes and learn from them. Men, who make mistakes and show no remorse. It was quite a platter of male performances for Hindi cinema in 2022. My top ten.

There’ll always be bigger blockbusters and milestones but that ‘apna Sunil’ feeling Shah Rukh Khan gifted us is unconditionally special and ours. A share of toota sitara from the most buland sitara, sweet, warm, happy.
I really believe this film is the sweetest warmest happiest film I have done. I see it and miss everyone involved in the film especially my friend and teacher Kundan Shah. To the whole cast and crew thank u and love u all.

Do movie stars exude any 'aura' any more? They're just people who gym, attend talent shows or chats with recorded studio laughs, share pictures of a carefully put together look on the trending holiday spot, parrot the same message or concern. Little individuality, no mystery.

Poor Shyamalan hit one rough patch (even his worst has audacious imagination) and has recovered so well since and still ‘proves himself’ talk happens. And some folks who’ve lost their mojo (and mind) ages back continue to be celebrated like gods of cinema.
