Published by Parlour News

Actor Upasana Singh has revealed the story behind one of the most iconic catchphrases from Comedy Nights With Kapil — “Kaun Hai Ye Aadmi?” The actress recalled that the now-famous line was never scripted and was born during an interaction with Salman Khan, leaving the show’s crew worried that the superstar might get offended.

We worked together in God Tussi Great Ho and Mujhse Shaadi Karogi. We have also worked together many times on Kapil Sharma’s show,” she said. How Salman Khan inspired the iconic catchphrase Explaining how the dialogue came into existence, Upasana said the cast often knew their own lines but never knew how celebrity guests would respond during shoots. “The reason ‘Kaun Hai Ye Aadmi?’ happened was because Salman and I were shooting together.

Sarika on making her comeback with The Family I Chose

Published by Webster

Sarika doesn’t need convincing to give her nod to a movie. All the actor needs is a script rooted in honesty. Like The Family I Chose, her next project over three years after Sooraj Barjatya’s Uunchai (2022). Director Kankana Chakraborty’s maiden feature film explores the idea of belonging and a chosen family.  Talking to mid-day, Sarika shared that the theme was enough to draw her to the movie. “The concept resonates with the times we live in, especially in metro cities. So, the film offers the opportunity to look around and pick up nuances. The Family I Chose is not just the title, but a reality of our times that needs to be explored creatively. There is beauty, sensitivity, sharing, and empathy in such a family. I love how Kankana has written it,” she said. Disclaimer: We do not own any of the content, ideas, images, or text presented here.

All his three directorials till then — Maine Pyar Kiya (1989), Hum Aapke Hain Koun..! (1994), and Hum Saath – Saath Hain (1999) were blockbusters, one bigger than the other. But then came his first setback, Main Prem Ki Diwani Hoon (2003), also his first film without Salman Khan aka Prem. “It did feel like I got lost somewhere. But that’s exactly why Main Prem Ki Diwani Hoon is very close to my heart,” says Barjatya on SCREEN Spotlight. In another edition, filmmaker Kunal Kohli revealed that the film’s lead actor, Hrithik Roshan, was also unsure how his rather loud character in the romantic comedy would be received, compelling him to give Kohli’s 2004 hit rom-com Hum Tum a pass. “We’re all humans.
