Known for his soft-spoken nature and creative pursuits, Hussain struggled financially when some of his films were stalled or failed to perform at the box office. 'The thing that would trouble us most was Abba Jaan ko dekh ke. Because he was a very simple man. Maybe he didn't have enough sense that he should not have taken so much loan,' Aamir shared. 'Unko problem mein dekh ke takleef hoti thi kyunki un logon ke phone aate the jinse paise liye hain. Unka jhagda shuru ho jaata tha phone pe ki 'main kya karu, mere paas paise nahi hain. Meri film atki hai, mere actors ko boliye dates dein mujhe, main kya karu,'' he added.

'This person did...' Adnan Sami breaks SILENCE on his divorce from first wife Zeba Bakhtiar, 'We tried and...' Adnan Sami is one of the most celebrated singers in the Indian music industry. He became a beloved voice after his collaboration with Asha Bhosle on the superhit song Kabhi To Nazar Milao (2000). While, the Padma Shri awardee had a remarkable professional journey, his personal life had seen its shares of ups and downs. Adnan Sami on divorce from his first wife Zeba Bakhtiar Adnan Sami who is currently married to Roya Faryabi, recently opened up about his previous marriage to Pakistani actress Zeba Bakhtiar, which ended in divorce in the late 90s. While speaking to Bollywood Bubble, the singer gave insights about the aftermath of their separation, focusing on the beautiful memories and time they once shared. He said, 'Sometimes what happens is that with time, for whatever reason, it was not meant to be, and that does not make you or me a bad person. That is destiny. After a certain period, you realise that it is not working and you part. We tried, and it did not work out for whatever reason; maybe it ended in a fight or a major clash.' 'At the end of the day, when you part, remember once upon a time, there was love, and let us respect that and move on. This person did bring me joy at a particular point in life and we had some great moments together.' Adnan Sami added. Zeba Bakhtiar on how things impacted her following divorce with Adnan Sami In a past interview, Zeba Bakhtiar revealed that how her divorce with Adnan Sami impacted her both personally and professionally. The couple has a son, named Azaan Sami Khan, now a music composer and actor. 'When I got married to Adnan, I was wrapping up a few films. At that time, I wasn't interested in continuing to act. I wanted to write, maybe produce. I wasn't that involved in acting. Then I married Adnan and Azaan was born, I was totally invested in that. But when the marriage didn't work out, I started doing productions and other projects.' Zeba said. Adnan Sami has been married three times. His first marriage with Zeba ended in 1997, followed with Dubai-based Sabah Galadari, with whom he got officially separated in 2009. He is currently living a peaceful life with his third wife Roya Faryabi and their daughter, Medina.

The enchanting miniatures

Kishangarh miniature painting artist Tilak Gitai (Padma Shri awardee) hails from the second generation of royal court painters patronized by the rulers of Bikaner. One of his Ragamala painting series, done on ivory, is displayed at the Museum D'Ethnographie in Geneva. Other collections are housed at the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, the National Museum of Ethnology, Japan, and the National Crafts Museum, New Delhi. Miniature paintings from Kishangarh are particularly known for their depiction of the 'Nayika'—characterized by lotus-like eyes, a sharp nose, thin sensitive lips, a pointed chin, and eyebrows shaped like a bow. The 'Nayika' has curls of ebony hair, adorned with necklaces of precious stones, pearls, and a gold-embroidered wrap. Tilak Gitai was at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Hyderabad to conduct a Kishangarh miniature art intensive workshop for young participants from educational institutions across India, organized by SPIC MACAY. Can you tell us how your journey started in this art? My father was associated with this art and was commissioned for various artistic works by Maharaja Ganga Singh of Bikaner. I did my schooling in Jaipur and had a flair for drawing. Once, my school teacher doubted whether I had traced my drawing using butter tracing paper. To confirm his suspicion, he handed me a piece of chalk and asked me to replicate the drawing on the blackboard. In 1949, my father established the Rajasthan Kala Mandir in Jaipur and continued promoting the art form. He encouraged me to meet senior artists so I could learn its finer intricacies. I took guidance from Sri Ram Gopal Vijayvargiya and Ved Pal Sharma. Meanwhile, I enrolled in the College of Art, New Delhi, and graduated with a BFA as part of its first batch. What made you create Ragamala paintings in the Kishangarh style? In one sentence, I can say that the iconography of the Kishangarh school of art is melodious. No known Ragamala painting had been created in this school of art, so I took it upon myself to do so. I have also authored a book titled Raga Mala – The Missing Link, which explains the ragas, their structure, timing, associated seasons, and the logic behind the colours and iconography used in each painting. How difficult is this art to practice? Miniature art demands immense concentration and patience. It's a meditative form of art—one must be completely immersed in it. It has never been easy for any serious practitioner. From learning how to make colours from natural materials, to experimenting and developing new techniques, much of it was a closely guarded secret. It took a long time to build confidence and truly understand the craft of color-making and mixing. What steps need to be taken to preserve this art form? We must study the education systems and heritage conservation cultures prevalent in developed countries. By aligning our policies accordingly, we can spark a mindset shift in India. The level of historical conservation and museum development seen abroad must serve as a model. India needs to make heritage education more accessible to the general public. Do youngsters come forward to learn this art? Youngsters do show interest in learning. However, our education system doesn't provide them the opportunity to pursue a profession in this field from a young age. Peer pressure also plays a major role, often pushing students toward becoming doctors or engineers instead.
