Ranveer Singh Breaks Silence On People Thinking He Is ‘Not Fit’ For Don 3
Actor Ranveer Singh has opened up about his dream to essay the role of a don.
Ranveer revealed this while answering a number of insightful questions in the fast-paced rapid-fire round on Karan Johar’s popular talk show ‘Koffee With Karan’ which returns for its 8th season.
The first episode of the fresh season features celebrity couple Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone as guests.
During the episode, the filmmaker asks Ranveer about what he would say to those who considered the actor as not the right choice for ‘Don 3’, directed by Farhan Akthar.
Ranveer said, “Ek chance dedo, 12-13 saal me thik thak hi kaam kiya hai maine, toh ek mauka toh banta hai” (Give me a chance, I have done decent work in the last 12-13 years, so I deserve a chance).
Earlier, after the film ‘Don 3’ was announced, Ranveer shared a series of pictures of his childhood days.
In the accompanying note he wrote, “Gosh! I’ve been dreaming about doing this for a very, very long time! As a child I fell in love with the movies, and like the rest of us, watching and worshipping Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan – the two G.O.A.Ts of Hindi Cinema. I dreamed of growing up to be like them. They are the very reason I wanted to become an actor and a ‘hindi film hero’. Their impact and influence on my life cannot be overstated. They’ve shaped the person and actor that I am. Taking their legacy forward is a manifestation of my childhood dream..I understand what a great responsibility it is to be a part of the ‘Don’ dynasty. I hope the audience gives me a chance and showers me with love, the way they have for numerous characters over the past so many years. Thank you Farhan and Ritesh for entrusting me with this honourable mantle and believing in me. I hope I can deliver on your faith and conviction. My two supernovas, The Big B and SRK, I hope I can make you proud. And my beloved audience, as always, I promise you…that I will do my very best to entertain you…in and as…’Don’. Thank you for your love”
Farhan Akhtar also wrote in his long post asking the audience to give the same love to the new Don as before. He mentioned, “In 1978, a character created by Salim-Javed and portrayed by Amitabh Bachchan with effortless elan, captured the imagination of theatregoers across the country. That enigmatic character was Don. In 2006, Don was reimagined and brought to life by Shah Rukh Khan in his own irresistibly charming way.” “The time has now come to take the legacy of Don forward and joining us in this new interpretation will be an actor whose talent and versatility I have long admired. We hope that you will show him the love you have so graciously and generously shown to Mr Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan,” the post further reads.
The announcement of the eagerly anticipated third instalment of Farhan Akhtar’s well-known franchise, ‘Don’, caused a stir on the internet. In the teaser, Ranveer can be seen seated in a building with his back to the camera.
He lights up a cigarette, introduces himself as Don, and then turns to face the camera.
He wears a leather jacket and matching pants for the dapper look and accessorizes it with leather boots and matching sunglasses.
The ‘Don’ series has always been associated with compelling stories, exhilarating action, and unforgettable moments.
‘Don’ starred Shah Rukh Khan, Priyanka Chopra and Boman Irani in prominent roles. The film was released in 2006 and won Best Asian Film at the Neuchatel International Fantastic Film Festival. Later, its sequel was released in 2011 and was declared a hit.
Actor Hrithik Roshan was seen in a special appearance role in ‘Don 2’. Farhan’s directorial was a remake of 1978’s ‘Don’, featuring Amitabh Bachchan in the lead role. A new era of Don will begin in 2025.

Salman Khan, KJo reveal ‘major production hiccup’ during ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’ climax

Mumbai, Oct 14: Bollywood filmmaker Karan Johar and his superstar guest Salman Khan will be seen sharing some interesting anecdotes about the 1998 film “Kuch Kuch Hota Hai” in the ultimate season of the chat show “Koffee With Karan Season 9”.
On the premiere episode of Koffee With Karan Season 9, Karan revealed how Salman was onboarded for Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, after several leading actors turned down the supporting role.
Recalling the meeting, Karan shared that Khan casually told him, “You’ve been shopping, come narrate the film to me tomorrow.”
Karan arrived at Khan’s apartment and began narrating the film. Salman, dressed in striking yellow shorts, agreed to come sign the film without even hearing the entire narration.
He said yes despite the filmmaker telling him that there would be no remuneration for the special appearance.
The duo also spoke about the close bond between their families, recalling how Karan’s father personally flew to Mauritius to help secure government permissions for Salman’s then-ongoing shoot for Hello Brother.
They also reminisced about a major production hiccup during the climax of Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, where the camera operator accidentally shot the entire sequence in slow motion, forcing a complete reshoot. Salman then pushed his next shoot back by a day to stay back and complete the sequence.
Kuch Kuch Hota Hai also stars Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol, Rani Mukerji, and Sana Saeed.
Set primarily across two time periods, the narrative follows the love-triangle between college friends Rahul, Anjali, and Tina. Years later, Rahul’s young daughter attempts to reunite him with his former best friend.
The film won numerous awards, including the National Film Award for Best Popular Film Providing Wholesome Entertainment. The film remains a landmark in Hindi cinema for its cultural impact, music, and fashion influence.
New Episodes of Koffee with Karan Season 9 will air on JioHotstar.

Farhana Bhatt shares unseen glimpses with Rubina Dilaik, Avinash Mishra from ‘Khatron Ke Khiladi 15’ shoot

Mumbai, Oct 14: Actress Farhana Bhatt has shared a series of unseen glimpses from the shoot of ‘Khatron Ke Khiladi 15’, offering fans a peek into her off-screen moments with fellow contestants Rubina Dilaik, Avinash Mishra, Orry and others.
The actress posted pictures from her time on the stunt-based reality show, capturing moments of travel and celebrations. In one picture, she is seen posing for a selfie with Rubina and Avinash, while other pictures feature her enjoying the trip, sipping coffee and posing against the backdrop of scenic locations.
She also shared pictures from a hotel celebration, dressed in winter outfits during the trip, and moments with the contestants as they bonded away from the stunt arena.
Farrhana first grabbed attention with her stint in the reality show, ‘Bigg Boss 19’, where her outspoken personality, fiery temper and confrontational approach made her one of the season’s most discussed contestants.
Although she was initially evicted by her fellow housemates, she returned through a twist and went on to finish as the first runner-up, losing the title to Gaurav Khanna.
During her stint on the Salman Khan-hosted show, Farrhana frequently found herself at the centre of arguments. Her choice of words during heated exchanges and her tendency to react strongly drew criticism, with Salman reprimanding her on many occasions during ‘Weekend Ka Vaar’.
However, she continued to stand her ground and remained a prominent presence throughout the season.
Following ‘Bigg Boss 19’, Farrhana took on another challenge with ‘Khatron Ke Khiladi 15’, hosted by filmmaker Rohit Shetty.
During the grand finale of the show, she spoke about the anxiety she experienced before tasks and how the experience pushed her beyond her perceived limits. She also shared a warm bond with Rubina, describing her as a confident, caring and supportive person.
Beyond reality television, Farrhana has also given fans glimpses of her life in Kashmir. Hailing from Srinagar, the actress has often expressed pride in her roots and shared videos showcasing the region’s natural beauty, traditions and culture.

Adah Sharma reveals she sleeps on the floor in Mumbai home once owned by Sushant Singh Rajput

Mumbai, Oct 13: Actress Adah Sharma has opened up about her minimalist lifestyle, revealing that her home, which was once occupied by late actor Sushant Singh Rajput, does not have conventional furniture such as a bed, sofa or dining table.
The actress, known for her performance in ‘The Kerala Story’, spoke about her unusual approach to furnishing her home. In an exclusive quote shared with media, she explained that she prefers not to become too attached to material possessions. “I don’t have a bed because I don’t want to get too attached to anything. Especially furniture. Relationships are already complicated enough. Why buy a bed when gravity gives you a free landing every night? If you sleep on the floor, you can have the entire floor to yourself and that’s larger than any king-sized bed,” she said.
Adah further revealed that her home does not have a sofa or a dining table either. “I don’t have a bed, sofa or dining table. If you come home, we can either stand or develop strong leg muscles.”
Adah reportedly moved into the Mumbai apartment previously occupied by the late actor Sushant Singh Rajput. It is being said that Sharma signed a five-year lease for the apartment in October 2023, clarifying that she was renting the property and had not purchased it.
She redesigned the space to reflect her minimalist lifestyle, opting for white walls, a prayer room on the lower floor, a terrace garden, a music room and a dance studio.
For the unversed, Sushant Singh Rajput was found dead at his Mumbai residence on June 14, 2020, at the age of 34. During his career, the actor featured in several successful films, including “Chhichhore,” “M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story,” and “Kai Po Che!” His final film, “Dil Bechara,” was released after his death.
Meanwhile, Adah Sharma will be seen portraying a Devi in her upcoming film. She is also working on another action project and an international film.
