Palak Tiwari made her acting debut in the Salman Khan film Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan. Before that the actor worked behind the camera as an assistant director in Antim: The Final Truth.

Speaking on the latest episode of The Bombay Journey, by Mashable India, Palak opened up about how Salman sir helped her and how he has been a mentor from the beginning of her career. She said, 'It was at some Bigg Boss reunion, where Salman sir told my mom how tall I had become. He then said, 'Kuch karna warna he life mein (Have you thought of anything with your life)?' I said, 'Yes sir I want to be an actor, sir.' I was 17-18. He said that before you become an actor you need to learn what happens behind the camera. He is such a cool guy. I said okay, because you know as an actor one can take things for granted very easily.'
Palak went on add that she is always star-struck in front of Salman, 'I've done a whole film with him, whenever I meet him till date, or even if I get a message from him, I get star-struck. I usually don't get star-struck, you can make anyone sit in front of me. But when he's in front of me, I stop speaking and start stuttering. He just changed my entire personality. Then he said, 'Aaram se bolo (speak without hesitation).''
On the work front, Palak was last seen in the film Bhootnii, which was released earlier this month and starred alongside Sanjay Dutt, Mouni Roy, and Sunny Singh.

To which, Salman responded that he is working despite many health issues and doesn't have it in him to start from scratch anymore, in case the 'wife' decides to take 'half his money'.

There's also an AV malformation, and still, I'm carrying on),' he said. Salman added, 'All of this is going on in my life. Aur jahan unka mood satka, woh aadha humara leke chala gaya. Ye younger age mein hota toh theek tha, phirse kama lete. Ab wapis se… (And the moment their mood soured, they will take away half of what I had. Had this happened when I was younger, it would've been fine — I could've earned it all back. But now, starting over again…)' Salman's recent film Salman was last seen opposite Rashmika Mandanna in Sikandar. Directed by A R Murugadoss, it was released in theatres on 30 March. The film is produced by Sajid Nadiadwala under his production banner Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment. The film failed to elicit the expected response, earning a below-average ₹ 177 crore worldwide. The film also stars Kajal Aggarwal, Sathyaraj, Sharman Joshi, Prateik Smita Patil, Anjini Dhawan, and Jatin Sarna. It is believed that Salman will begin shooting his upcoming film based on the Galwan Valley clash from July. However, there's no official announcement from him yet about the film.

Karan Veer Mehra: I care about the strength of the role, not the length
Karan Veer Mehra Karan Veer Mehra is turning a new chapter in his career, shifting focus toward purposeful roles in films. The actor, who will soon be seen in Omung Kumar 's upcoming romantic action drama, is tight-lipped about the details but says, 'It's unlike anything I've done before. The film has an amazing cast, soulful music, and strong studio backing — that alone makes it an exciting opportunity. ' Following back-to-back reality show wins in Khatron Ke Khiladi and Bigg Boss — a rare combination — Karan made a conscious decision to wait for the right film rather than capitalise immediately on his newfound popularity. He says, 'After the shows, there were plenty of offers — music videos, more reality TV, brand campaigns — all with lucrative payouts. But I didn't want to jump on the bandwagon just for visibility.' Instead, he used that time to reflect on what truly fuels him. He shares, 'By society's standards, I had it all — money, fame, a fancy lifestyle. But something was missing. I realised that nothing makes me happier than performing — being on stage or in front of the camera. That led me to enroll in an advanced acting workshop. Some clips from our sessions went viral, and soon after, casting agencies and production houses began reaching out. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo It was almost as if the energy I was putting out found its way back.' Karan is now in talks for several projects, including one with a director he had long admired. He says, 'There's a filmmaker I had been trying to connect with for months. Now, we're actively discussing a potential collaboration. It's surreal, but also a reminder that persistence and preparation align at the right time.' Karan with Sushant Singh Rajput On the oft-discussed perception that television actors struggle to find substantial roles in films, he responds, 'There's some truth to that — unless someone breaks the mould. Shah Rukh Khan , Irrfan Khan, and my dear friend Sushant Singh Rajput , did exactly that. I spent a lot of time with Sushant during his early film days, and his journey remains inspiring.' Karan adds that the size of a role doesn't matter to him. 'I care about the strength of the character, not the length of screen time. I want to be part of compelling stories, and I'm ready to give it my all — even if the budget is small. For me, it's always been about the work, not the paycheck. In many ways, I feel like I'm just getting started,' he concludes.
