Mumbai : Singer Qazi Touqeer opened up about his bond with fellow singer Arijit Singh.

He described the latter as a private person who, despite his reserved nature, shares a similar sense of craziness with him.

Talking about Arijit to Arishfa Khan and Uditi Singh in Bigg Boss Season 20, Qazi said the singer has a different level of madness and is someone who keeps pushing himself to explore more.

“When Arijit and I sit together, Arijit has pain in the stomach laughing. My level is different from his. He also does crazy things. He is the father of crazy things. But he is a private person. He only opens up with his close people. He is like me,” Qazi said.

Qazi went on to describe how Arijit’s curiosity and creative approach continue to push him further. “He keeps increasing his level of craziness. He digs the well so much. He finds the fun part, digs in more. But that’s how it should be,” he said.

Praising Arijit’s personality, Qazi added, “He is crazy. He is beautiful. It should not end. He is amazing. He is a champ. He has the attitude of a champion.”

Drawing a parallel between himself and Arijit, Qazi said the two share a similar personality despite their different levels of expression. “But we both are the same. He and me, we both are the same,” he said.

For the uninitiated, Qazi and Arijit have both carved their own spaces in the Indian music industry, with Qazi gaining popularity after winning the first season of the singing reality show Fame Gurukul. Arijit went on to become one of the most prominent playback singers of contemporary Hindi cinema.

After Qazi entered Bigg Boss 20, Arijit took to his private X account to cheer for his former Fame Gurukul co-contestant, writing, “I will have to watch Bigg Boss for the first time because apna rockstar Qazi hai udhar.”

Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan decided to relive his Rajasthan road trip during the shoot for his 2019 drama, ‘Laal Kaptaan’.

On Friday, he uploaded some snippets from his road trip to Ramathra, Deogarh and Narlai. Saif revealed that the journey was filled with great music, great highways, Ancient forts, and rugged locations.

“What a road trip ! Great music and great highways ! What an adventure making Laal Kaptaan… Ancient forts and stunning, rugged locations in romantic Rajasthan .. we had a really great time on this ambitious, mad and sadly, ultimately doomed adventure !! But what a ride !! Ramathra, Deogarh and Narlai !! (among others !) (sic)”, Saif wrote on the photo-sharing app.

Reacting to the post, wife Kareen Kapoor mentioned in the comment section, “Finally you can post all your favourite pictures love”, followed by two red heart emoticons.

Saif has been acing the social media game ever since he joined Instagram in October this year. The ‘Hum Tum’ actor has been treating the netizens with fun glimpses from various aspects of his life.

On Wednesday, Saif shared that he has resumed his fitness routine as he prepares to welcome the New Year.

The ‘Omkara’ actor provided a glimpse of his latest workout session. In the clip, Saif was seen performing some yoga asanas in his garden, wearing nothing but shorts. He was seen flaunting his well-toned physique and muscles as he focused on bringing both his mind and body back on track for the coming year.

“Time to get back to work!.. First the mind.. then the body .. back on track for a happy new year,” Saif wrote on his official handle.

Meanwhile, Saif recently appeared with Kareena on Karan Johar’s popular chat show ‘Koffee With Karan’.

In a hilarious moment during the episode, Karan asked the couple to call someone famous. Saif wanted to call his wine dealer, but when Bebo pointed out that the wine dealer was not a celebrity, the actor quipped, “Well, he is a celebrity to me.”

Bollywood star Shilpa Shetty, who is all set to host “Pyaar Ka Pressure Cooker”, has decoded modern relationships, talked about situationships, benching and breadcrumbing.

Hosted by Shilpa Shetty, the show will bring together couples who find themselves stuck in their relationships, at different crossroads whether struggling with commitment or being in long-term partnerships that have failed to move to the next step.

Speaking about the show, host Shilpa said in a statement: “Relationships today come with a whole new vocabulary, from situationships and breadcrumbing to benching, and somewhere along the way, clarity got lost. Whether it’s a new or a long-term relationship stuck for years, there comes a point when someone has to ask the real questions.”

“What excites me about Pyaar Ka Pressure Cooker is its fresh take on the reality format, and as India’s first relationship show where parents deliver the reality check. It’s relatable for couples, and just as much for the parents watching, who are just as curious about what is going on. It’s a show that gets people to say what they actually mean, and I’m so excited to be hosting it.

Inside one house, the participants will be made to answer the questions they have been dodging, with parents stepping in to give a much-needed reality check, until the moment of clarity arrives and the truth comes out.

The show was announced with a quirky, catchy promo that sees Shilpa take audiences through the love stories of then and now. Moving from the strict, disapproving parents of yesteryear to today’s dating landscape, where terms like “situationship” and “ghosting” have left families bewildered, she highlights how much the language of love, and the confusion around it, has changed.

The film builds to the show’s signature moment, the whistle of the pressure cooker, as Shilpa announces that it’s time for “clarity ki seeti”.

Pyaar Ka Pressure Cooker will speak to a generation fluent in every relationship term there is, and to parents watching from the sidelines, wanting to know where it is all headed. Its defining sound is the whistle of the cooker, the “Clarity Ki Seeti”, which blows when the truth comes out under pressure.

Bringing India’s first relationship show into reality, Alok Jain, Head – Hindi & English Entertainment (Streaming, TV & Studios), JioStar, said: “Young India is at the heart of what we do, and we are always looking for ideas that reflect their lives and the conversations they are having. Relationships are among the most talked-about subjects for this generation, but rarely get an honest conversation, least of all with parents.”

“Pyaar Ka Pressure Cooker brings both sides to the table with humour, heart and a clear point of view. We believe it’s an idea young audiences will see themselves in, talk about and share, and we are excited to bring it to them.”

Pyaar Ka Pressure Cooker will air on Colors.
