Parmeet Sethi kisses Yash Chopra statue in Switzerland as sons take ‘ashirwad' by touching its feet; Archana Puran Singh recalls Mohabbatein memories
Archana Puran Singh and her husband, Parmeet Sethi, were vacationing in Switzerland with their sons recently. In their final travel vlog from the trip, they visited the statue of filmmaker Yash Chopra in Interlaken, as both Parmeet and Archana shared their experiences of working with the legendary director. Parmeet played a supporting role in Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, which marked the debut of Yash Chopra's son, Aditya Chopra, as a director. Parmeet was also given a break as a filmmaker by their YRF banner. Archana, on the other hand, was directed by him in the film Mohabbatein. In their latest vlog, they made a trip to the statue, which is a popular destination for Indian tourists. Yash filmed several of his movies in Switzerland, boosting tourism for the country. 'We've been to Switzerland so many times, but we've never visited the statue. When I was working on Mohabbatein, Yash ji and I would talk for hours about his old movies, like Silsila. Yash ji, you are very much in our memories, and it was an honour to work with you.' Parmeet added, 'I debuted twice with Yash ji. The first was as an actor in DDLJ, and the second was as a filmmaker, with Badmaash Company. He's my godfather.' Parmeet proceeded to kiss the statue on the side. Also read – 'What's wrong with my wife being more famous, successful?' asks Parmeet Sethi: 'Archana Puran Singh is the judge of the biggest Indian show' Their sons, Ayushmaan and Aaryamann, posed with the statue as well. Ayushmaan said, 'I have a clear memory of meeting him. I was very young, but I remember. This statue is really nicely made; he looks exactly the same.' Both Aayushmaan and Aryamann proceeded to touch the statue's feet as a mark of respect. 'Ashirwad liye bina nahi jaa sakte,' they said. Archana posts regular vlogs on her YouTube channel. Most of her videos feature the entire family, including the grandparents and several members of their staff. Her channel now has over 700,000 subscribers. Before they left for the vacation, they were in the middle of a food vlogging series, where they'd try some of the most popular food items in the city of Mumbai. In an interview with SCREEN, Parmeet spoke about their unexpected career as vloggers, and said, 'It makes me happy that millions of people are watching us. We were not expecting it – socha tha 20-25K views ajayenge and now it's in millions. We all are very grateful. It's like a second career for me. Archana, I and the kids have started taking it seriously. Maybe it is the plan B which is coming good.'

Aamir Khan tried to convince producer Aditya Chopra to make changes to Thugs of Hindostan for 8 months, didn't like the film: ‘But Adi was very confident'
When Aamir Khan appeared in YRF's big budget film Thugs of Hindostan with Amitabh Bachchan, Katrina Kaif and Fatima Sana Shaikh, it was promoted as the most anticipated film of the year. Releasing on the festival of Diwali in 2018, it got a massive opening of Rs 50.75 crore, which was the highest opening for a Hindi film until then, but soon after that, the film fell on its face and was rejected by the audience. So much so that Aamir had to take full responsibility for the film's failure in public. Now, Aamir has shared that he was not happy with the film and was well aware that it would get rejected by the audience and he even tried to convince the producer, Aditya Chopra, and director, Vijay Krishna Acharya, for eight months to make changes, but they didn't budge. Aamir, in a chat shared on Zee Music Company's YouTube channel, shared, 'What happened with Thugs was… I didn't like the film myself. Now, enough years have passed and I really respect Adi (Aditya) and Victor (Vijay) but sometimes, there are creative differences. When the film was made, Adi and Victor really liked it, the way it was made, but I didn't like it at all.' Aamir added that the film had gone wrong on paper itself and shared, 'I felt that structurally, we went wrong with the writing and I tried to tell them about it but they were confident that the film is good. I tried to convince them for around 8 months but ultimately, they are the director and producer so whatever they decision they took, I accepted it because I have to follow what they are saying.' ALSO READ | Kesari Chapter 2: Akshay Kumar's courtroom drama accidentally exposes Bollywood's handling of sexual misconduct He recalled that weeks before the release of the film, he was sleeping like a baby, which was very unlike him as he had a tendency to lose sleep before a major release. When his then wife, Kiran Rao, questioned him about the same, he shared with her, he recalled telling her, 'I said I have no anxiety about this film because I know this won't work and I believe if I don't like it, why should I expect the audience to like it? So when Thugs didn't work, I didn't feel bad because I didn't like it too.' After the film's failure, Aamir, in a press conference said, 'I take the full responsibility of Thugs not working with the audience. You can be sure that we tried our level best but somewhere we went wrong. There are a few people who liked the film. I would like to thank them. We realise that most of the people did not like the film. I want to apologise to fans that I couldn't entertain them the way they wanted, though we did try our best.'

‘Ranbir-Deepika Lite': Kartik Aaryan-Ananya Panday's unseen pics from Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri get trolled
Kartik Aaryan and Ananya Panday, who were last seen together in Pati Patni Aur Woh (2019), are currently in Croatia together. The actors have been busy shooting for their upcoming Dharma film Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri. Earlier this month, Kartik introduced Ananya as his leading lady with a sizzling picture of the two kissing behind a passport. Well, last night Kartik announced 'Apni Ananya ka schedule wrap' with a cute video, featuring them dancing together on their beloved track Dheeme Dheeme. While the clip won hearts, their new unseen pictures from Croatia have sadly become fodder for trolls across the internet. A post shared by KARTIK AARYAN (@kartikaaryan) Kartik Aaryan and Ananya Panday are a good-looking pair. They also have cute chemistry on and off the camera. So why are they being trolled on the internet right now? Well, netizens seem to be disappointed with Ananya and Kartik's looks in unseen pictures from Croatia, which we are guessing were clicked during the shoot of a song in Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri. In these photographs, Kartik has donned spiky hair and sunglasses whereas Ananya, dressed in neon pink with feather dangler earrings, has honey blonde highlights in her hair. The two also look quite tanned. Netizens are now comparing them to Deepika Padukone and Ranbir Kapoor, claiming that Ananya and Kartik look like DP-RK's 'lite' versions. For instance, one social media user claimed, 'She wants to be DP and he wants to be Ranbir but it's giving just 'wannabe',' whereas another wrote, 'Ranbir and Deepika Lite.' A comment read, 'When your embarrassing friends dress up as Ash and Hrithik from Dhoom for Halloween,' whereas another netizen opined, 'Saste Ranveer deepika.' Talking about just Ananya, a social media user stated, 'the deepikafication of ananya,' whereas another wrote, 'Ananya Panday looks so Deepikafied.' Drawing parallels between Ananya and Deepika, an internet user shared, 'WHY IS ANANYA BRONZED?! Pls don't do this 😒😒😒😒😒 Is this a YRF production? Ananya resembles Deepu from Pathaan & Fighter😒.' Helmed by Sameer Vidwans, Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri is all set to arrive in theatres next Valentine's Day, on February 13, 2026. Are you excited for Ananya and Kartik's reunion?
