Kajol says Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan are ‘extremely professional' but Salman Khan's star power is unmatched
Bollywood star Kajol is among the few actors who have worked with all three Khans—Shah Rukh, Salman, and Aamir. In a recent interview with Galatta India, she reflected on the distinct qualities of each of them and spoke about Salman Khan's unmatched star power. (Also Read: Kajol recollects shooting for film when dad was in hospital and Nysa Devgan was only 2: 'It was a double whammy') Kajol heaped praise on Shah Rukh and Aamir's professionalism, stating that both of them deserved all the trophies when it comes to dedication, as they are very, very serious about their craft and discipline. However, while talking about their work. Kajol said, "Salman is Salman Khan. You can't argue with that. He's remained the same over the years, and that in itself is incredible. Even Aamir once said, 'Salman is definitely a bigger star than me, because no matter how his film performs, it still manages to cross ₹100 crore. And his fans adore him like crazy.'' When informed that Akshay Kumar has matched Salman in terms of box office with 18 films crossing the ₹100 crore mark, Kajol said, "Wow, that's amazing! But when we talk about sheer star power, I think even Akshay would agree—you just can't touch Salman's star power." Salman and Kajol have appeared together in films such as Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Pyaar Kiya Toh Darna Kya, and Karan Arjun. Their chemistry in Pyaar Kiya Toh Darna Kya especially impressed the audience. Kajol is all set to star in Vishal Furia's mythological horror film titled Maa. The film also features Ronit Roy, Indraneil Sengupta, and Kherin Sharma. Produced by Ajay Devgn and Jyoti Deshpande, it is scheduled to release in cinemas on 27 June. Salman, on the other hand, was last seen in Sikandar and will next be seen in an action film with Sanjay Dutt. He also has Sajid Nadiadwala's Kick 2 in the pipeline.

Govinda's wife Sunita Ahuja CLAIMS he spent more time with co-stars than her, reveals struggles of being married to him
Bollywood actor Govinda ruled the 90s era with his impeccable performance and delivered several hits. He made a special place in the hearts of the audiences and has a huge fan base even today. Well, all that glitter is not gold. The lives of actors seem very glittery but even they and their families face many difficulties from their profession. Now, Govinda's wife Sunita Ahuja, who is known for speaking her heart out without any fear of judgment, opened up on struggles of being married to him and claimed that he spent most time with co-stars. Yes, you heard that right! In a recent conversation with Instant Bollywood, Sunita Ahuja shared, 'Ek hero ki biwi hona, aapko patthar ka dil banana padta hai. Aap dekhte ho hero humare se zyada to heroine logo ke saath rehte hain.' (Being the wife of a film star, you have to have a heart of stone. You see them spending more time with their heroines than with us). Govinda's wife also talked about trust in a relationship and admitted that having no trust in a partner will ruin one's life. She highlighted how crucial it is not to let insecurities take over, especially in a long marriage. Pointing to the value of commitment and perspective, she questioned how one could sustain a relationship for 30 to 40 years without focusing on the bigger picture and the shared journey, rather than getting caught up in doubt. Sunita also opened up about the time when she embraced motherhood and revealed that the actor wasn't present with her. She shared he was mostly away for shoots during her delivery of both their children Tina and Yashvardhan. Sunita Ahuja added that she was staying with her mother-in-law at that time as she couldn't travel with their little ones. She also gave credit for her understanding of family to Govinda's mother and she shaped her thoughts while staying together. She proudly shared that the actor had a deep love for his mother, driven by fear and that he never did anything wrong in his life. Meanwhile, Govinda tied the knot with Sunita Ahuja in 1987. The duo are proud parents to two children Tina Ahuja and Yashvardhan Ahuja. Tina made her acting debut in 2015 with Second Hand Husband. Meanwhile, Harshvardhan will soon be making his acting debut with Sai Rajesh's directorial. He has assisted in films like Dishoom, Baaghi, and Salman Khan's upcoming film Kick 2.

When Salman Khan's uncle adopted a Nepalese domestic worker who was fired from job: ‘He's one of our brothers now'
While most people know about Salman Khan's adopted sister Arpita Khan, few are aware that the superstar also has a Nepalese brother. During the launch of Bigg Boss 11, Salman opened up about a lesser-known chapter from his family's past. He recalled how his uncle once adopted a young Nepalese boy named Tesu, who was abandoned after losing his job in their building. (Also Read: Salman Khan confirms film with Atlee is delayed, announces new actioner with Sanjay Dutt: Its action is on another level) When Johnny Lever's daughter, comedian-actor Jamie Lever, pitched a comedic situation about how everything goes sideways in a household when the domestic worker leaves, Salman recalled, "A similar situation happened at our house. When we were very young, a Nepalese boy named Tesu, who used to work on the fourth floor of our building, got into a fight with the flat owner's kid, and they fired him. Tesu, the poor kid, didn't know where to go because he had come from Nepal, so we gave him shelter at our house. However, people in the building complained about it." He added, "So my uncle from Indore had come down to Mumbai. He asked, 'What will you do about this kid? He doesn't even know where his home is.' So he said, 'I'll take him to Indore,' and he did. Today, Tesu is the owner of a property in Indore. My uncle adopted him. He got married, has three kids, and is one of our brothers now. His life changed." Salman was most recently seen in the action thriller Sikandar, directed by AR Murugadoss. The film also featured Rashmika Mandanna, Sathyaraj, Kajal Aggarwal, and Sharman Joshi in key roles. The film received mixed-to-negative reviews, with criticism for its weak storyline, and it failed at the box office. Salman will next be seen in another action film alongside Sanjay Dutt, which he announced during the promotion of Sikandar. In addition, he has Sajid Nadiadwala's Kick 2 in the pipeline.

If I had to describe him in words, one would be 'human being' and the other 'being human' – that is Salman. He is a human of another level with every act of his. I share a beautiful relationship with him. I don't meet him regularly, but there is a lot of love and respect." He went on to defend Salman's recent films that underperformed at the box office, saying, 'Unki flop hum ₹200 crore ki film ki baat karte hain, jabki aadhi industry ke liye vo hit nahi superhit hai (We call his ₹200 crore film a flop, whereas for half the industry, that would be considered not just a hit but a superhit). Sometimes you go wrong in selection of films. And he works from heart. When Salman gets a good subject film it will do magic. Unki naa chalne waali film ₹200 crore kamati hai. iss saal ki saari films ka number dekhlena you'll know it will be lower than a Salman Khan film (Even his underperforming films earn ₹200 crore. Just look at the box office numbers of all the films this year—you'll see they're lower than a Salman Khan film).' For the unversed, Salman's films have been struggling at the box office recently. Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan faced criticism and earned only ₹184.6 crore worldwide.
