‘Lagaan destroyed me’: Amin Hajee makes ‘shocking’ revelation about Aamir Khan-starrer | Bollywood News

4 min readKochiJun 16, 2026 04:57 PM IST While director Ashutosh Gowariker’s Lagaan (2001) became a landmark movie in the history of Indian cinema and marked a turning point in the careers of pretty much everyone associated with it, it wasn’t exactly the case for actor Amin Hajee, who still believes the Aamir Khan-starrer “destroyed” him. However, it isn’t that the epic period sports drama did any harm to him per se, but rather raised the bar for him so high that even he couldn’t surpass it later. Although it’s been 25 years since the movie hit the screens, Amin still believes that he never received a role as impactful as Lagaan’s Bagha, the mute drummer, afterwards. “The truth is, Lagaan destroyed me,” he said during a conversation with news agency PTI.

Kartik Aaryan Silently in Full Swing With 4 Films; Busy With Anurag Basu, Kabir Khan and Shimit Amin

Published by Parlour News

Kartik Aaryan seems to be one of the busiest actors right now. The actor is successfully juggling not one or two but four big projects, which could easily be called one of the best line-ups in the industry for any actor. Kartik seems to be working on the most important slate of his career. He has wrapped Mrigdeep Singh Lamba’s Naagzilla, a film that blends the supernatural with sharp-edged comedy. The film has already sparked massive buzz and excitement with its first look. Slated for release in February 2027, the VFX-heavy film is currently in the post-production stage. Recently, after wrapping up the film, the actor moved, with little ceremony, into his next. The pace is relentless, but more striking is the intent behind it. Each project isn’t merely a film. It reads like a statement. The one that may define this phase most acutely is his collaboration with Anurag Basu, a filmmaker whose creative vocabulary has always sat outside the mainstream. Basu doesn’t make films so much as he builds emotional worlds, and placing …

Three-Time Winner Amin Patel, Shaina NC Fight For Mumbadevi

Three-Time Winner Amin Patel, Shaina NC Fight For Mumbadevi

Published by Webster

Mumbai: Mumba Devi is the presiding deity of Mumbai, the country’s financial capital, and the constituency named after her is set for an epic battle this time. The three-time MLA from the seat is Congress’s Amin Patel and his challenger from the  ruling alliance is Shaina NC, who switched from the BJP to Shiv Sena after getting a ticket from this constituency ahead of the Maharashtra assembly elections. The political equation in the constituency had changed in 2009, when Congress’s Amin Patel won this seat and put brakes on the BJP’s long-term hold. Till now, Amin Patel has maintained his influence on this seat.  Though small, the constituency reflects the cosmopolitan nature of the city.  This area was settled a long time ago and has not been redeveloped. Over the years, little has been done in terms of infrastructure — dilapidated buildings, narrow lanes, traffic and filth form part of Mumbadevi’s daily struggle. The constituency is Muslim-dominated, with the community comprising 55 per cent of the electorate. NDTV found that while the Eknath Shinde government’s …

Priti Amin: After an eight-year hiatus, I feel a lot has changed

Published by Webster

After working for over a decade, Dil Mil Gaye actor Priti Amin left the industry for eight years. She felt she needed a desperate break to rejuvenate herself. “After twelve years I had reached a saturation point. It was work, work and only work for me and in my mind, I knew it was time. I wanted to do away with a regular actor’s life, full of light, camera and action. I wanted to explore a simple life and find purpose of my existence. It was this thought that made me take a long break and lead a path of spirituality. I found solace in Vipassana and joined camps here as well as abroad,” says the actor of Jhoome Jiya Re and Bhaskar Bharti fame. “I feel today, I’m much stronger and an enriched being. I got to spend blissful time with my family in all these years. During the lockdown I also tried farming and it brought me close to my roots. It was only last year that a casting team approached me. I …

Published by Webster

Poonawala allegedly chopped his girlfriend’s body into pieces before dumping those across Delhi. (File) New Delhi: Aaftab Amin Poonawala, accused of strangulating his live-in partner Shraddha Walkar and chopping her body into pieces, moved a court here on Friday seeking bail, his lawyer said. The hearing is likely to take place on Saturday before Additional Sessions Judge Vrinda Kumari, he added. As the initial investigation in the case is complete and the chargesheet is yet to be filed, there is no purpose in keeping the accused in judicial custody, the lawyer said. On December 9, Poonawala’s judicial custody was extended by 14 days. Poonawala (28) allegedly chopped Walkar’s body into 35 pieces and kept those in a 300-litre refrigerator for almost three weeks at his residence in south Delhi’s Mehrauli, before dumping those across the city over several days.
