Na Gori Se, Na Kali Se... Salman Khan Opens Up About Marriage Plans On Kapil Sharmas Show

New Delhi: The much-awaited Season 3 of The Great Indian Kapil Show premiered on Netflix on June 21, with Bollywood superstar Salman Khan making an appearance as the show's first celebrity guest. Host Kapil Sharma kicked off the conversation by highlighting a humorous coincidence, both Shah Rukh Khan's wife and Aamir Khan's girlfriend are named Gauri (Gauri Khan and Gauri Spratt, respectively). Turning to Salman, he joked, 'Aapki life mein koi gori–Gauri nahi hai?' (Is there no fair–Gauri in your life?). To this, Salman replied with his signature humour, "Na gori se, na kaali se... dilwali se." (Neither fair nor dark… only someone with a beautiful heart.) Later, Archana Puran Singh brought up the age-old question fans never stop asking: "Salman, aapko kitni baar log pooch chuke hain: 'Bhaiya, aap kab shaadi karoge?'" (Salman, how many times have people asked: 'When will you get married?') Salman quipped, "Haan, poochte toh rehte hain. Par main humesha kehta hoon, meri shaadi karne se aapko kya fayda hai?" (Yes, they keep asking. But I always say—what difference does it make to you if I get married?) He continued with his hilarious take "Kya aapko maza aa raha hai? Main aapke liye suhagraat mana raha hoon? Aapko itni khushi ho rahi hai ki main barbaad ho jaun?" (Are you enjoying this? Am I celebrating my wedding night for you? You're this happy hoping I get ruined?) On a more serious note, Salman reflected on modern relationships, saying, 'The patience, the fights, the sacrifices that a husband and wife make for each other, that tolerance factor is missing now. These days, someone puts a leg over you while sleeping and it leads to a divorce.' He added, "Choti si misunderstandings par divorce ho jata hai" (Small misunderstandings lead to a divorce) He further remarked on the financial strain of divorce, joking, 'Aur phir divorce toh ho hi jaata hai, aadhe paise leke chali jaati hai." (And then divorce happens, and she walks away with half your money.) Also Read | 'Uske Bawajood Kaam Kar Rahe...'

Anupam Kher breaks down the ‘richness' of Kashmiri cuisine

Mumbai: Veteran actor Anupam Kher, who is gearing up for the release of his upcoming film 'Metro... In Dino', is lavishing praise on the cuisine of his homeland, Kashmir. The actor recently spoke with IANS in the run-up to the film's release, and recollected the time when he introduced actor Vinay Pathak to the Kashmiri cuisine during the shooting of 'Khosla Ka Ghosla', an earlier story which was published by IANS. Walking down the memory lane, Anupam shared how it all happened. He told IANS, 'I introduced Vinay to Kashmiri food, and he said, 'Kashmiri food is like this?' I said, 'Yes'. I introduced the cuisine to him, and I was very happy. Because he thought it must be something else. I read a lot about it recently that Vinay Pathak spoke about the incident. It was just somebody introducing me to Japanese food, a long time back'. He further mentioned, 'The richness of Kashmiri food is that there is no tomato, no onion and no garlic in it. And yet it is the tastiest cuisine. But that way India is a very rich country in terms of food. After every 500 km, you get new food. Gujarati, Marathi and different kinds of thaalis'. Earlier, Vinay had told IANS, 'I remember, Anupam introduced me to Kashmiri food for the first time. I am a vegetarian, so I thought, Kashmiri food is not for me. He told me, 'You're in for a treat. We will take you to a place'. And, he introduced me to a place in Delhi for Kashmiri cuisine. And, I fell in love with Kashmiri cuisine. We used to leave the game to give our shots. Sometimes we would play 20 questions. Anupam taught us 3-4 new games'. Presented by Gulshan Kumar & T-Series presents, in association with Anurag Basu Productions Pvt. Ltd., 'Metro In Dino' is produced by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, Anurag Basu, and Taani Basu. The film is set to arrive in cinemas on July 4, 2025.
