Neena Gupta Admits To Feeling ‘Romantic' At The Age Of 66
Last Updated: Neena Gupta will next be seen in Anurag Basu's Dino. The film also stars Aditya Roy Kapur and Sara Ali Khan. Veteran actress Neena Gupta stars opposite Anupam Kher in their upcoming film Metro…In Dino. The movie weaves together multiple narratives, with Neena and Anupam starring as an older couple, capturing the beauty of mature romance on screen." In an interview with India Today, Neena Gupta shared her thoughts about love beyond 50. The actress said, 'I agree, I still feel romantic! Romance is not just about sex or attraction. It's about feeling good." Claiming that feeling good comes in many forms, she added, 'I romance with my clothes. I feel great when I dress up. Back in the day, I'd never worn a bikini; the household that I came from didn't have that culture in Delhi. But when I moved to Bombay and lived alone, I'd wear a bikini in my bathroom, stand in front of the mirror, and feel happy; there were no mobile phones then. That, too, is romance. Romancing yourself. But feeling good has no age limit." In the same conversation, Neena Gupta expressed her admiration for director Anurag Basu. The actress said, 'I didn't even know he would offer me something. But when he did, I told him — don't even tell me what my role is, I'll do it. That's how much I wanted to work with him, especially after Life in a… Metro." Metro… In Dino features an ensemble cast of Neena Gupta, Anupam Kher, Ali Fazal, Aditya Roy Kapur, Pankaj Tripathi, Konkona Sen Sharma, Sara Ali Khan and Fatima Sana Shaikh. Directed by Anurag Basu, the film features music by Pritam and marks another collaboration between the composer and the director, 5 years after Ludo.

Produced by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, Anurag Basu, and Taani Basu, the film is set to release on July 4, 2025. First Published:

The most viewed devotional song on YouTube, has over 4.6 billion views, has 20 million likes, song is..., singer is….
Bhajan Samrat Gulshan Kumar's company, T-Series, keeps uploading many bhajans and videos on YouTube. Among these, the most viewed bhajan video in India is 'Hanuman Chalisa'. It has been viewed 4,669,434,250 views (about 4 billion 67 lakh) so far. This video is viewed millions of times every day. The song is heard with great faith in Hindu families. The audio of Hanuman Chalisa is also played a lot in temples and religious programs. The interesting thing is that many people do not know who the singer of this song is. Yes, the same Hariharan who has sung popular songs like 'Tu Hi Re', 'Yun Hi Chala Chal', 'Chanda Re Chanda Re'. Not only has Hanuman Chalisa been sung, but Hariharan has also sung many bhajans. Many famous bhajans of Lord Shiva are in Hariharan's voice. The interesting thing is that many people do not know the fact that the Hanuman Chalisa, in which Gulshan Kumar is seen, has been sung by Hariharan. T-Series' Hanuman Chalisa became the first devotional video to cross 1 billion views on YouTube. The company also tweeted about this. The interesting thing came to light that the highest increase in views of Hanuman Chalisa was seen during the Corona. During the pandemic, T-Series owner Bhushan Kumar had said during an interview that when people are troubled, they listen to Hanuman Chalisa or sing it themselves. He had said, We are all in great trouble. Hanuman Chalisa gives strength to face these troubles. During a recent conversation with Radio Nasha, singer Hariharan was stunned when he came across the staggering number of views for his Hanuman Chalisa devotional video. He revealed, 'I was completely flabbergasted by the response it got. I didn't understand how it became such a huge thing and the kind of belief people have in it… It truly humbles me (sic).' He revealed an interesting anecdote when a priest almost touched his feet. 'I once visited the Brahma temple in Pushkar. The priest at the temple came up to me, folded his hands, and nearly touched my feet. I asked him, 'Maharaj ji yeh aap kya kar rahe hai (What are you doing?)'. He told me that they start the day with my rendition of Hanuman Chalisa,' said Hariharan.

T-Series denies land nod, key Gr Noida road to decongest Pari Chowk back in limbo
Noida: T-Series has contested Greater Noida Authority 's claim that it agreed to give up land in Namoli village for a 1.5km six-lane road from LG Chowk to Knowledge Park-3. The Rs 31-crore project, stalled for 15 years, is designed to unclog the crucial junction of Pari Chowk, improve connectivity between the city's knowledge hubs, and provide a direct link between Noida sectors 146-147 and Greater Noida. Currently, a single-lane carriageway, built in 2010, struggles to handle two-way traffic, creating safety hazards and severe congestion at the roundabout. Earlier this month, GNIDA had said it had secured in-principle approvals for the project, which will feature a modern six-lane road, including three lanes in each direction, along with service roads, a central verge, and a drainage system. On Friday, T-Series accused the Authority of breaking promises and making unilateral decisions. It accused the Authority of misleading the public and media by suggesting that a settlement was reached for the acquisition of land owned by the company in Namoli. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Free P2,000 GCash eGift UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo The company insisted it set conditions—the Authority should acquire only 10 acres needed for the road, allot alternate land of equal size in the vicinity and approve a development plan for its remaining land—before the final agreement for the land acquisition. "This land lies between Surajpur-Kasna Road and Expo Mart in Knowledge Park 3 and has been legally owned by T-Series since 1987, before GNIDA's formation in 1991. Gulshan Kumar bought around 300 acres from different landowners," said Vinay Kumar Mittal, a T-Series spokesperson. The land is non-agricultural, freehold in nature, and was used by our group for industrial purposes until operations were halted due to the construction of a railway line under the Dedicated Freight Corridor, which bisected the property. At one time, T-Series operated around 15 manufacturing units here, producing cassettes, incense sticks, and other items. These units eventually shut down as cassettes became obsolete, Mittal added. He claimed that in 2009-10, GNIDA began constructing a road from LG Chowk to Knowledge Park 3 without formally acquiring T-Series land. When the company objected, officials allegedly assured them of alternate land. "We fell for their talks," said Mittal. After 12 acres were used for one carriageway, T-Series demanded GNIDA fulfil its promise. When denied, the company halted construction of the second carriageway by approaching the Allahabad High Court. Mittal alleged GNIDA capitalised on the partially completed road by selling nearby land at premium rates without compensating T-Series. "We were misled with false assurances. Now they want more land without addressing our long-pending demands," he said. The company warned of legal action if its concerns remain unaddressed. To resolve the impasse with T-Series, the Authority in its March 29 board meeting had proposed a conditional settlement. Under this proposal, 40% of undeveloped land was to be returned to the company, subject to payment of external development fees as per current GNIDA rates. The remaining 60% was to be acquired by the Authority with compensation paid at prevailing circle rates. T-Series currently has about 197 acres in its possession. GNIDA also proposed that land coverage, FAR and setback norms, applicable in 1992 (before the area came under GNIDA's jurisdiction), would be honoured, though current FAR charges would apply during purchase. Layout maps would be prepared after formal agreements with the company. The proposal was also sent to the state govt for approval. The company has said that it has rejected the offer. "We have not agreed to hand over any percentage of our remaining land, nor consented to any terms and conditions. We are ready to part with only 10 acres of land strictly needed for the road, not an inch more. If the Authority proceeds without resolving our concerns, we will approach the court and stop construction," Mittal said. GNIDA sources, meanwhile, indicated that if talks fail, they may invoke emergency provisions under the Land Acquisition Act in public interest now, given the road's strategic importance for regional connectivity, especially ahead of the Noida International Airport becoming operational.
