Deepika-Padukone

The ‘Shaandaar Shukravaar’ episode of ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati 13’ on Friday will have Deepika Padukone and director-choreographer Farah Khan on the hot seat with the host of the show, Amitabh Bachchan.

Before the start of the episode, Deepika will be seen gifting Big B and Farah, her mentor, Ganpati idols. Moving ahead, Big B will be seen engaging in banter with his guests. They share personal anecdotes and then they are taken by complete surprise by Big B when he enacts Deepika’s memorable ‘Ek chutki sindoor ki keemat’ scene from the film ‘Om Shanti Om’, which was directed by Farah.

In her interaction with the host, Deepika reveals that she is a big foodie. She doesn’t just love food, but unlike other people who eat thrice in a day, she eats “every three minutes”. Deepika humorously mentions that it is because of Big B, who had emptied her lunch ‘dabba’, that she has to eat every three minutes.

Another interesting revelation Deepika will make in the show is that her husband and popular actor Ranveer Singh does not make her breakfast. Hearing this, Big B will be seen calling Ranveer to sort out this matter.

While talking about her personal experiences, Deepika recalled that in order to cast her for ‘Om Shanti Om’, Farah took her body of work to Australia to show it to Shah Rukh Khan, who was then shooting for ‘Chak De! India’. Farah had barely shown him her photo and all SRK said was, ‘Done’.

The Top 6 finalists of ‘Indian Idol Season 12’ – Pawandeep Rajan, Arunita Kanjilal, Mohd Danish, Sayli Kamble, Nihal Tauro and Shanmukha Priya – will also be performing in this star-studded special episode.

(The episode will air on September 10 at 9:00 p.m. on Sony Entertainment Television)

Post Ganpati darshan, Salman Khan shares a cryptic note on ‘happiness and contentment’

Published

Mumbai, Sep 15: Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has once again left fans intrigued with a cryptic social media post on happiness, expectations and contentment, shortly after making an appearance at Rahul Karnail’s Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations.

Salman shared a reel on his social media account, featuring a scenic mountain backdrop and a thought-provoking message about how a person’s perception of happiness can change once they get what they once desired.

The message read, “Jab thoda mila, toh khush tha, ab zyada mila, toh dukhi kyun? Jo chahiye tha kal mujhe, aaj mila toh zaroori kyun?”

(When I had a little, I was happy, so why am I sad now that I have more? What I wanted yesterday, why does it seem unnecessary now that I have it today?)

Somehow Salman did not reveal what prompted him to share the message.

The cryptic note came soon after Salman attended Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations. Salman was spotted arriving for the festivities and posing for the paparazzi before joining his family for the celebrations.

For the occasion, Salman opted for a casual festive look. He wore a light blue checked/striped shirt with light blue-white denim, while a bandana covered his head.

Videos and pictures from the celebrations showed the Khan family coming together for Ganpati darshan. Salman was also seen spending time with little children at the gathering.

For the uninitiated, Salman has regularly participated in Ganpati celebrations, including aarti and visarjan, over the years.

His family continues the tradition at home where Salman’s entire family celebrates the occasion.

The Khan family’s celebration of Ganesh Chaturthi has its roots in their close family tradition. Salma Khan, Salman’s mother, was born Sushila Charak in a Maharashtrian Hindu family, while his father Salim Khan is Muslim.

The family has over the years been known for celebrating festivals across religious traditions.
