‘Asli mard': UP man helps wife get married to boyfriend; social media reacts, ‘At least, he will be alive'
It's Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam for real, well, almost. In the 1999 Bollywood movie, Ajay Devgn tries to get his on-screen wife, Aishwarya Rai, married to her boyfriend, played by Salman Khan. While the movie had a twist, a man in Uttar Pradesh became successful in his plans.
In a village in Jaunpur, a man named Arvind helped his wife marry her lover after she had refused to end their relationship even after marriage. Arvind married Rita two years ago. However, she continued to stay in touch with her boyfriend, Yashwant.
Eventually, Rita returned to her parents' home and eloped with Yashwant. After learning about the affair and Rita's refusal to return, Arvind chose to end the marriage peacefully.
He arranged her wedding to Yashwant at a Durga temple in the local market. Photos and videos that went viral show Arvind standing with the couple and blessing them. He even helped with the wedding rituals.
'This asli mard marched her to a temple, handed Yashwant the sindoor, and said, Bhai, ab tu hi sambhal! Yashwant filled Rita's maang right there, and Arvind walked away like a legend,' wrote one social media user while sharing the video.
Social media users did not miss the chance to refer to various recent reports of men suffering from marriage.
'He escaped from 498A and paying alimony,' wrote one user while another commented, 'It's not sacrificing, it's rationality.'
'Arvind turned betrayal into a bold handover, no drama, just full-on blockbuster exit,' commented another user.
'It is a wise move. Instead of finding him in the blue drum by the police, he has taken the right decision,' wrote another.
One user remarked, 'Obviously Arvind did not want a snake in the marriage and got rid of her before she spread he venom in his family.'
Another wrote, 'He saved his life, possibly jail, life-long alimony and whatnot.'
'Tbh it's great initiative.. kam se kam banda zinda to rhega (At least, he will be alive),' came from another.
The sarcastic comments about Arvind saving his life are likely related to the recent Meghalaya murder. In May, Raja Raghuvanshi was murdered during his honeymoon in Meghalaya. His wife, Sonam Raghuvanshi, allegedly plotted the killing with her lover, Raj Kushwaha.
The Indore businessman's body was found on June 2 in a gorge near Weisawdong Falls.
Sonam allegedly hired three contract killers. She fled but was arrested on June 9 in Ghazipur. Five accused are now in custody.

Shah Rukh Khan was not on the poster of his own film, can you guess the movie by looking its iconic poster ?
Shah Rukh Khan is not just a name but a brand in himself. He is the emotion to lakhs of people in India and even outside the nation. There have been times when fans got to know that SRK's movie has been put up on the big screens, and they queued up to buy tickets. However, do you know that one of Shah Rukh Khan's films did not have his face on the main poster? Despite that, the film went on to be the highest-grossing movie of the year. Instead of Shah Rukh Khan, another actor became the face of the poster. If you are wondering who this actor was and which movie we are talking about, let us tell you that the actor was Armaan Kohli and the movie was Deewana. Not Shah Rukh Khan but This Actor Became The Face Of Deewana's Poster Released in 1992, Deewana was directed by Raj Kanwar. The movie initially cast Armaan Kohli. However, after some disagreement with the producers, Armaan was replaced by Shah Rukh Khan. Apart from SRK, the movie also featured Divya Bharti and Rishi Kapoor. In a chat show, Shah Rukh Khan opened up about the poster of the film. He revealed that it is not him but Armaan who was chosen for the main poster of Deewana. Shah Rukh Khan Became Famous Because Of… During a conversation with Sajid Khan and Riteish Deshmukh's show Yaaron Ki Baraat, Sajid asked Shah Rukh what comes to his mind on hearing Armaan Kohli's name? To this, Shah Rukh Khan replied, 'Armaan Kohli is a big reason why I have become a star. Very few people know that my first film that was released was Deewana. I signed it late. It became a big hit and because of that people started liking me a lot.' Talking about the poster, SRK said, 'That was a very iconic poster, but I am not in that poster. That is Armaan Kohli and Divya Bharti ji. Because at that time, the films did not have that much budget and I had just come, so they thought that they will get a photo taken of it and maybe they also thought that I cannot lift the girl like this, I will fall down and my back will break.' Today, Shah Rukh Khan is one of the biggest names in the Bollywood industry and has made fans go gaga for him.

Box Office: Sitaare Zameen Par collects Rs 10.50 crore on opening day; Aamir Khan starrer picks up from evening shows
Sitaare Zameen Par directed by RS Prasanna and starring Aamir Khan, Genelia Deshmukh and many more has taken an estimated opening in the vicinity of Rs 10.50 crore on its first Friday. The opening of the movie in India compares well with Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, which opened in the similar range and played well with the same set of audience in the post pandemic world. Now it is to be seen how the Aamir Khan starrer does in the days to follow. Sitaare Zameen Par, After A Rs 10.50 Crore Day 1, Looks To Grow Well On Saturday The advance bookings of Sitaare Zameen Par for day 2 suggest a jump of 60-80 percent, meaning that a number of Rs 17-19 crore can be expected. That can further be consolidated with a Rs 21 crore Sunday, giving the film a weekend of Rs 45-50 crore net. The word of mouth of the movie seems on the positive side for audiences preferring class appealing content. It will eventually be this set of audience that will determine the movie's eventual theatrical fate. A Rs 10.50 crore start for an Aamir Khan film in 2025 is not good by any means. However, the blow of an underwhelming start is softened by generally favourable reception by the target audience. With a mixed or poor reception, this opening would have been a bummer. But now, the film has a chance to do some reasonable business. What really needs to be seen is how the movie holds on Monday and then how much it grows on Tuesday when ticket prices are subsidised. If the weekday hold is strong, the second weekend should be solid despite a new Bollywood film Maa, headlined by Kajol, releasing. An initiative by Aamir Khan that's worth highlighting is that he has held back the digital rights of the movie, meaning it won't release on any OTT platform even after 2 months. Will this help the movie with a leggier run is now to be seen. There are reports that it is likely to release on a Pay Per View basis, on YouTube, after 2 months but that can't be said for certain at this point in time. The Day Wise Net India Collections Of Sitaare Zameen Par In India Are As Under Sitaare Zameen Par Eyes A Good 2nd Day Jump Sitaare Zameen Par's Good Theatrical Performance Is Very Essential For Profitability Sitaare Zameen Par is a rare film in recent times with a lot of pressure on solid theatrical performance. Most films recover their budget or a substantial part of it from non-theatrical sources. Here, just the music and satellite rights are said to be sold, which usually form just a third of the film's non-theatrical recoveries. The box office trajectory of Sitaare Zameen Par will be interesting to follow in the days to follow.
