Salman Khan Reveals Dr APJ Abdul Kalam Inspired His Look In Tere Naam
Mumbai: Even after two decades, 'Tere Naam' remains one of Salman Khan's most memorable films -- not just for its emotional story but also for his iconic hairstyle. Now, Salman has revealed something surprising about that very look. In the first episode of 'The Great Indian Kapil Sharma Show' (Season 3), the 59-year-old actor shared that his hairstyle in Tere Naam was actually inspired by none other than the former President of India, Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam. "Ye Tere Naam ka jo look hai, woh actually inspired tha Abdul Kalam saab se," Salman said during the chat with host Kapil Sharma. (My hairstyle in Tere Naam was inspired by Abdul Kalam Sir.) He also mentioned that Rahul Roy had a similar hairstyle before, but for Tere Naam, he imagined a small-town character who would have long hair. "I thought that small-town heroes always had long hair. All the old-school heroes had it too - that's where the inspiration came from," he added. Directed by the late Satish Kaushik, Tere Naam was released in 2003 and starred Salman as Radhe and Bhumika Chawla as Nirjala. It was a remake of the 1999 Tamil film Sethu, which originally starred actor Vikram. Though the film received mixed responses from audiences, it was remembered for Salman's intense performance and its music. The film also marked Bhumika Chawla's debut in Hindi cinema. During the show, Salman also opened up about a recent incident in which a woman managed to sneak into Salman Khan's home at Galaxy Apartments. The topic came up when Kapil jokingly asked him about fans showing up at his residence with suitcases. Salman confirmed that something like that had indeed happened recently. "Yes, something like that recently happened. There were security guards outside. A woman told them she wanted to head up to the fourth floor, and she entered. She rang the doorbell, and our servant opened the door. The servant was shocked because the lady said, 'Salman called me over.' Obviously, the servant saw her and was sure I definitely didn't call her. She was a fan, so she was escorted out," said the 'Sikandar' actor.

What is the PM Modi quote in ‘Sitaare Zameen Par'?
Aamir Khan's Sitaare Zameen Par arrived in cinemas on June 20, but not without a set of last-minute, government-mandated changes — chief among them, has been the inclusion of a quote by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the opening credits. Cleared for release by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) on June 17, the film faced a delay in certification until producers complied with five specific edits. The most prominent directive was to feature the Prime Minister's message as part of the film's opening disclaimer. The quote reads: 'In 2047, when we celebrate the 100th anniversary of Independence, our divyang friends will be seen as an inspiration to the whole world. Today, we have to be determined towards achieving this goal. Let us all build a society where no dream or goal is impossible, only then we will be able to build a truly inclusive and developed India.' The terminology itself has sparked debate. The term 'divyang,' coined by Modi in 2015 to refer to persons with disabilities, has been widely criticised by disability rights groups, who have argued that it glosses over real struggles with euphemism and strips away all complexity. Despite sustained opposition and formal petitions to government bodies, the term remains in official use. Beyond the quote, the CBFC ordered several other changes. A visual and subtitle containing the word 'kamal' (lotus) — also the symbol of the ruling party — was removed. 'Business woman' was changed to 'business person,' and a 30-second disclaimer at the start was shortened to a 26-second voiceover. The word 'Michael Jackson' in subtitles was swapped with 'Lovebirds.' The revisions were recommended by a CBFC revising committee led by theatre director Waman Kendre, after the examining committee reviewed the initial cut. Neither CBFC chairperson Rajendra Singh nor Kendre commented on the rationale behind the directives. The unusual nature of these changes, especially the inclusion of a political quote, has drawn criticism. Critics argue that inserting political messaging into cinema, particularly under certification pressure, sets a worrying precedent for creative freedom. Sitaare Zameen Par is the official Hindi remake of the 2018 Spanish film Champions, and is presented as a spiritual successor to Aamir Khan's 2007 hit Taare Zameen Par. Directed by RS Prasanna, the film follows a basketball assistant coach (played by Khan) sentenced to community service, who finds himself coaching a team of neurodivergent basketball players adults. The film also stars Genelia Deshmukh.

CHHATTISGARH: Shashi Mohan Singh, an IPS officer from Chhattisgarh cadre, strikes a delicate balance between his full-time occupation and his passion for acting. He dons the police uniform in real life, while his silver screen presence has established him as an accomplished actor in Chhollywood (Chhattisgarh cinema industry), as well as on stage, short films, and Hindi language cinema. For the 2012-batch IPS officer, his role as an actor comes with a message for society. 'In most of my roles, preference remains for impressive storylines that can deliver issue-based or strong messages besides the entertainment of the audiences. It's all about the theme — with an appealing storyline, it holds the power to influence the heart and mind', says Singh. He joined the police service after clearing the Madhya Pradesh Public Service Commission in 1997. Today, he is a Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) in Jashpur district. Interestingly, he acted as a Maoist leader in one of his movies, propagating the message of how the banned outfit exists on hollow ideology and violence. In his role as a villain, he attempts to connect the audience with his character's motivations and emotions. Singh has penned scripts for various movies and theatre dramas, written dialogues and poetry, and directed a few films as well. 'Since my school days, a deep inclination towards acting remained my leisure pursuit and in our village in Buxar (Bihar), where I was born, I got enough opportunities to act in dramas, plays and theatre through various Natya Shalas. I have also acted in Chhattisgarhi and Bhojpuri films.' Singh's compelling character roles and strong themes in some of his movies resonate well with audiences. They also get him recognition. A movie, Bhulan The Maze, in which he acted as a jailer, won a national award in the Best Film category of regional cinema at the 67th National Film Awards. It also won appreciation globally. His three short films — Gomti, Yatna, and Kotpa received national acclaim as best films and won awards. Recently, Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai attended the grand screening of a short film, 'Kajri', written and directed by the Jashpur SSP. 'Kajri' addresses the critical issue of human trafficking and aims to raise public awareness and vigilance in a place like Jashpur. This predominantly tribal-populated district has earned an undeserved notoriety as a hub for human trafficking for several decades.
