A Series of Box Office Failures

Following the massive success of Raaz (2002), Vikram Bhatt struggled with multiple box office disasters. Speaking on Bharti Singh and Haarsh Limbachiya’s YouTube channel, he recalled how people in the industry stopped answering his calls. “In this industry, there’s a rule: if you have a couple of bad Fridays, people stop taking your calls. I felt helpless.”

Despite the setbacks, he decided to direct 1920, a horror film he strongly believed in. However, the production process was far from smooth. “I had no buyers, no studio backing, and everyone had their own reasons for rejecting it. Even my own lightman asked me, ‘Sir, yeh kaisi film hai?’ (What kind of film is this?). But I knew it would work.”

The Struggle to Release 1920

Vikram Bhatt revealed that he had 35 trial screenings of the film, but no distributor showed interest. Eventually, he had to release the film on his own, making the release day highly stressful.

Against all odds, 1920, starring Adah Sharma and Rajneesh Duggal, turned out to be a surprise hit, grossing ₹14 crore at the box office and spawning a franchise. It paved the way for Bhatt’s later hits like Haunted 3D and Raaz 3.

Though his recent films haven’t performed well, Bhatt’s journey remains an inspiring testament to perseverance and believing in one’s vision despite the odds.

Modus Operandi: How Ranya Rao Smuggled Gold

According to officials, Rao had allegedly strapped 14 gold bars, each weighing around one kilogram, to her thighs using tape and crepe bandages. She then covered them with pants to avoid detection. Initial reports suggested that the gold was hidden in her jacket, but the DRI confirmed that the contraband was found on her person during a physical check.

Additionally, sources revealed that Rao used VIP channels at the airport, bypassing regular security checks, which may have helped her evade scrutiny during multiple trips between Dubai and India.

Investigation and Court Proceedings

The 33-year-old actress, who is also the stepdaughter of a senior DGP-rank IPS officer in Karnataka, was detained by the DRI on March 3. Following her arrest, she was produced before a special court for economic offences and remanded to judicial custody until March 18.

The DRI has now filed a plea seeking three days of custody from March 9 to further interrogate the actress regarding her alleged involvement in an organized smuggling network. Officials are particularly investigating the purpose behind her 27 short trips to Dubai over the last six months.

Forced or Willing Accomplice?

During her initial interrogation, Rao reportedly claimed that she had been forced to smuggle gold. Investigators are now working to determine if she was coerced or if she was actively working as a carrier for a larger gold smuggling syndicate.

This high-profile arrest has raised serious concerns about security lapses at international airports and possible involvement of insiders in facilitating such operations. With the investigation ongoing, authorities are expected to uncover further links to the larger gold smuggling network in the coming days.

As India secured a dominant victory, fans erupted in celebration, with Virat Kohli’s match-winning century stealing the spotlight. However, amid the excitement, Abhay Singh’s name started trending—but for all the wrong reasons.

Internet Roasts IITian Baba Over Failed Prediction

Abhay Singh, an IIT Mumbai aerospace engineer-turned-sadhu, gained popularity during the Mahakumbh. In a recent podcast, he confidently declared that India had no chance of winning against Pakistan.

His exact words were:
“Iss bar India nahi jeetegi. Virat Kohli aur sabko bol do ki jeet ke dikha dein. Maine bola nahi jeetegi India toh nahi jeetegi.”
(“India will not win this time. Tell Virat Kohli and his team to try their best, but they won’t win. If I say they won’t win, they won’t.”)

However, as Kohli led India to an easy victory, fans flooded social media mocking IITian Baba, calling out his overconfidence and flawed prophecy.

Baba’s Apology After the Trolling

Realizing the intensity of the backlash, Abhay Singh issued an apology, saying:
“Mujhe mann hi mann lag raha tha ki India jeet sakti hai, par maine prediction kuch aur kiya tha. Galti ho gayi.”
(“Deep down, I felt that India could win, but my prediction was different. I made a mistake.”)

Despite the apology, memes and jokes continued to pour in, with fans joking that even astrologers should think twice before doubting Virat Kohli.

A fan page recently shared the undated video, captioning it: “Throwback to SAK (Saif Ali Khan) doing Surya Namaskar – a true reminder that a man who knows his basics can fight all battles in life. Stay consistent, stay strong. Practice makes all the difference!” The video shows Saif gracefully performing the 12-step Surya Namaskar sequence in a lush garden, maintaining proper alignment and breath control. Fans were quick to appreciate his dedication to fitness, calling it a reminder to stay disciplined and focused.

Saif’s wife, Kareena Kapoor, is a well-known yoga enthusiast who often shares her fitness journey with fans. She swears by Surya Namaskar for both mental and physical well-being, making it a core part of her workout routine.

Celebrity nutritionist Rujuta Diwekar has emphasized the importance of correct form in Surya Namaskar. She warns against common mistakes such as dropping shoulders towards the ears, misaligned hips in the plank pose, and collapsing forward in downward dog. She recommends always lifting the shoulders away from the ears, engaging the core to keep the hips aligned, and ensuring the hips remain the highest point in downward dog. Additionally, she advises starting Surya Namaskar from the top of the mat, removing jewelry, and practicing at least three rounds daily for maximum benefits.

Saif Ali Khan’s dedication to yoga is a reminder that discipline, consistency, and mindfulness are key to a healthy lifestyle. If you haven’t started practicing Surya Namaskar yet, this might be the perfect motivation to begin!

In an interview with Indian Express, Pratik shared the grueling process behind his transformation. “I was always lean, but for this film, I had to push my limits. I followed a strict protein-rich diet, trained rigorously, and barely got any sleep. I drank very little water and suffered cramps—all for this body,” he revealed.

‘I only drank one litre of water a day’

The actor, who once believed he wouldn’t go to extremes for a role, found himself doing exactly that. “I used to read interviews of actors talking about how tough it is, and I thought I’d never do it. But for Dhoom Dhaam, I ended up doing it all.”

“For four days before the shoot, I restricted myself to just one litre of water per day—including all liquid intake like tea and coffee. I also cut out carbs and salt completely. And when you don’t consume carbs, you become irritable. I was just waiting for the sequence to get over so I could finally drink water properly again,” he added.

Apart from Pratik and Yami Gautam, Dhoom Dhaam also features Ajaz Khan. The film is set to premiere on Netflix on February 14.
