Aamir Khan asks Salman Khan to check his phone; latter says, “Kya check karu yaar. Ya toh Reena Dutta ya Kiran Rao ka message rehga”

Aamir Khan recently made an appearance at the Bigg Boss 18 finale, where he reunited with his longtime friend Salman Khan. The two shared some fun moments, reminiscing about their past and joking about their chalets. Aamir was there to promote his son Junaid Khan’s upcoming film Loveyapa, alongside Junaid and co-star Khushi Kapoor. During the conversation, Junaid and Khushi playfully suggested testing their long-standing friendship by having a “Loveyapa moment” between the two Khans. They cheekily proposed that Salman and Aamir exchange their phones, sparking laughter and adding to the lighthearted vibe of the evening.

After exchanging their phones, Salman Khan teased Aamir Khan, joking that Aamir wouldn’t face trouble since he’s been married and has children, while Salman is still unmarried. The playful banter continued as Salman hesitated to unlock his phone, with Aamir convincing him to do so. Amid the laughter, Salman quipped, “Phone kholte hi tu gir jaega,” to which Aamir humorously responded, “Dekh, gir jaega toh me apne apko sambhal lunga. Lekin India ko girne ni dunga. Tension mat le…Tere secrets mere pas safe hai.””

The hilarious exchange continued with more laughter when Aamir checked Salman’s phone and teasingly said, “Oh, yeh wali abhi bhi hai… aur iska aaj subhe phone bhi aake gaya.” He then joked, “Yeh wali ka number kyu block?” To which Salman replied, “Bohat pareshaan karti hai yaar.” Aamir, still laughing, asked Salman to check his phone, to which Salman humorously responded, “Tere phone mein kya check karu yaar. Ya toh Reena ya Kiran ka messsag rehga.”

The playful banter had everyone in splits, showcasing Salman and Aamir’s strong friendship and perfect comic timing, making it a memorable moment at the Bigg Boss finale. The two stars also recreated the iconic bike scene from their 1994 classic Andaz Apna Apna, with the song ‘Do Mastane Chale Zindagi Banane’ playing in the background. Aamir humorously suggested a sequel to the film, sparking excitement among fans, who couldn’t help but imagine a modern-day version of the beloved comedy.

Emergency: Kangana Ranaut starrer faces protests from alleged Khalistani protesters in London

Amid much controversy, the Kangana Ranaut starrer Emergency finally hit theatres across the world last week, after delays and roadblocks. However, the challenges seem far from over. While the Punjab government in India is tackling the protests from the SGPC community who have raised an objection over the misrepresentation of Sikhs in the film, the next location to face challenges is the city of London in England from alleged Khalistani activists.

People share videos of protests in London theatre against the film

Many social media users took to the social media platform X aka Twitter to share videos from a screening in London theatre which was interrupted by alleged Khalistani protesters. In these videos, the protesters were seen entering the auditorium in the middle of the show as they started shouting slogans like ‘Khalistan Zindabad’, demanding to stop the screening of the movie. While the protests did not turn violent, audiences were left quite shocked by this incident and many of them also ended up having arguments with these perpetrators. However, the theatre authorities have not yet filed any official charges against these activists despite the issues.

Kangana Ranaut starrer faces challenges in Punjab

Meanwhile, the SGPC community in the Northern state have penned a letter to the Punjab CM demanding a ban on the release of the film. While no official action has been taken against the film, we hear that the theatre screenings have taken a hit in many cities as the owners are afraid of the protests and their repercussions.

About Emergency

Ever since its inception, this Kangana Ranaut directorial has been facing tremendous opposition as it attempts to bring forth the story behind why Prime Minister Indira Gandhi imposed an emergency in India in the 1970s. While the film has been completed for quite some time now, it aimed at a theatrical release in September last year but faced issues with the CBFC (Central Board of Film Certification). The latter finally greenlit the project in January this year. Featuring an ensemble cast, the film released on January 17.

Saif Ali Khan sustained multiple injuries during the robbery incident on January 16 and is currently receiving treatment at Lilavati Hospital. Meanwhile, Mumbai Police arrested the main suspect in the stabbing case on Sunday and presented them in court. A video of the accused attacker has since gone viral.

In a video shared by Instant Bollywood, the accused is seen surrounded by police as he exits the court with his face covered, walking towards a van. On Sunday, the Bandra Court remanded the accused to five days of police custody, supporting the Mumbai Police’s request for further investigation. The court stated, “We are satisfied by the demand of Mumbai Police. The accused has entered inside the residence of a celebrity and attacked him. The police need to recover the clothes worn by him on that day. Hence, custodial interrogation is required. The police also needs to recover the knife that was used by the accused. The learned defence council has said that no notice was given to the accused U/S43A of the BNS.”

The court further stated, “After having considered the submission of the defence and the prosecution, I find that they are well founded allegations. The investigation is at early stage. The accused has been arrested earlier today. The police therefore are justified in asking sufficient period for an investigation.”

In requesting the accused’s 14-day custody, the police stated, “The attacker is ruthless as he stabbed Saif Ali Khan several times. We need him in custody to collect more evidence.”

The investigating officer informed the court that the accused attacked Saif Ali Khan on January 16 inside his Mumbai residence. The officer further stated, “We have recovered a part of knife from the wound, the second was recovered from the crime spot and the third is missing. We need to recover that. We have to find the clothes that he was wearing on that day. Also, the accused is a Bangaldeshi national. We have to investigate where he came from. He had recently came to Mumbai.”

For those unaware, an attempted robbery occurred at Saif Ali Khan’s Bandra home earlier this week. Following a struggle with the robber, the actor sustained severe injuries. Saif Ali Khan was stabbed six times, including in his neck and shoulder, at his Bandra West apartment around 2:30 am on Thursday. He was promptly taken to Lilavati Hospital, where a 2.5-inch piece of the blade was removed from his spine during a five-hour-long surgery.

He raised questions as he questioned these companies over their change of attitude towards famous personas and celebrities. He said, “For small hospitals and common man, Niva Bupa will not sanction more than Rs 5 lakh for such treatment. All 5 star hospitals are charging exorbitant fees and mediclaim companies are paying also. result – premiums are rising and middle class is suffering”.

The insurance company Niva Bupa confirms details of Khan’s insurance

After the claim went viral on social media, the insurance company Niva Bupa confirmed the details to Mint wherein they issued a statement that read, “The recent unfortunate incident with actor Saif Ali Khan is deeply concerning. We wish him a speedy and safe recovery. Mr. Khan is one of our policy holders. A cashless pre-authorisation request was sent to us upon his hospitalisation, and we have given an approval of an initial amount to start the treatment. Once we receive the final bills post the complete treatment, it will be settled as per policy terms and conditions. We stand with Mr. Khan and his family in this distressing time.”
