Nani worked as an assistant director and wanted to become a filmmaker before he debuted as an actor in the 2008 film Ashta Chamma. He revealed in the interview that he once feared that fame would change him. 'It has taught me that I don't need to worry much that fame will change me. A lot of people say that, right? That's also been my fear when I started out. That the fame will change how I think or who I am. Will it take away me from myself?'
The actor says the fear was only amplified due to the people around him, 'I saw it happen to people around me sometimes. But now, over the years, it has taught me it has nothing to do with fame. It's you who'll change. Fame doesn't do that to you. You were just controlling it, and now you let it out. Some people say he used to be very good before he was famous. No, he was just acting good; he was always this. Fame will not change anything, actually. That's what I've understood.'
Nani both stars and produces HIT: The Third Case under his banner, Wall Poster Cinema. The film directed by Sailesh Kolanu is the third in his HIT franchise. The first and second parts saw Vishwak Sen and Adivi Sesh play cops solving mysterious murders. The third part will see Nani go undercover to rescue a baby and solve a series of murders. The film has been rated A and will be released in theatres on May 1.

The Great Indian Kapil Show Season 4 is back with a bang! Megastar Salman Khan made his appearance as the first guest of the show. His candid revelations about life, family, and his constant jabs at various matters, including marriage and divorce, continued to entertain the audience, offering a perfect dose of entertainment. Salman Khan recalls how Avinash Gowariker stayed at the Galaxy Apartment, renting his own house In one such revelation, the Dabangg actor reminisced about how popular photographer Avinash Gowariker stayed at his house until Sohail Khan married. Sharing the fun story, Salman said, "Wo hamare ghar aaye, unhone kaha ki main apne rented apartment se nikal raha hu, mujhe 1-2 maheene ke liye stay chahiye. I said - Stay, you are more than welcome. To aake ke reh gaye aur phir dedh-do saal ho gaye (leaving everyone in splits)." "He came to our house, he said that I am moving out of my rented apartment, I need a stay for 1-2 months. I said - Stay, you are more than welcome. So he came and stayed, and then one-two years passed (leaving everyone in splits)." While continuing the story, the 56-year-old mentioned, "To ek din hamne poocha ki Bhai kab jaane ka plan hai? Ghar dekh rahe the aap apna, Kya hua uska? He said, wo to ghar 15 din me mil gaya that jab main yaha aaya that, usko Maine rent me chada diya hai." (So one day we asked him, When are you planning to leave, brother? You were looking for your house. What happened to it? He said, I got the house in 15 days when I came here, I have given it on rent.) Furthermore, Salman Khan took a jibe at Sohail Khan's marriage. "Ussi dauraan Sohail ne bhaag kar shaadi ki thi, ab wo bhi bhag gayi (During that time Sohail had eloped and got married, now she has also eloped)," said Salman, leaving the audience in a chuckle. The Tiger 3 actor mentioned that Avinash used to stay in Sohail's room. When Sohail got married, Avinash was sleeping in his bed. Sohail asked him to wake up and move out, as he had gotten married. Avinash's reaction was priceless- "This is not fair. How can you get married like this? You should tell me. I mean, this is not fair at all—where will I go?" Salman laughs. Who is Avinash Gowariker? For the unversed, Avinash Gowariker is among the most popular celebrity photographers today. In an earlier interview with Bollywood Bubble, Avinash himself told this story and called Salman Khan and his whole family 'very kind-hearted'. He mentioned that at those times, he was struggling and not connected to any Khan member. No one in the Khan family knew him, even then, Bhaijaan opened doors for him, and Sohail allowed him to live in his room. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates.

'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.
