Kettan’s regret

In an interview with Times Now, Kettan stated that his goal had never been to harm Karan. “I want to apologise to Sir Karan Johar. First of all, I am a fan of Karan Johar’s work and perform all of my impersonations since I see him a lot on the coffee programme. I’ve seen Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani.

his most recent movie, five or six times. I adore his presentation and his body of work. I want to apologise to him if my actions caused him any harm. I didn’t mean to do him any harm. I just intended to amuse the crowd, but if I went above and beyond, I apologise to him.”

Karan most likely only saw the promo and not the entire programme, according to Kettan. “After seeing the episode, I’d want to see how people and Karan sir respond. I hope not to insult you, sir. Not many artists imitate Karan, sir. A few years back, I used to do it on The Kapil Sharma Show. It was my first time doing it on Madness Machayenge. He answered, “Aside from my apologies, I have nothing else on my mind.

The post by Karan Johar

“I was sitting and watching television with my mum… and saw a promo of a reality comedy show on a supposedly respectable channel… a comic was mimicking me in exceptionally poor taste,” captioned Karan Johar’s Instagram post. I anticipate this from trolls and anonymous individuals, but it says volumes about the times we live in when someone in your own field can treat someone who has over 25 years of experience with disdain. This doesn’t even enrage me; it simply makes me sad.”

At seven o’clock, Raj Babbar’s daughter learnt of his liaison with Smita Patil. “I shouldn’t tell my mother about this.”

Raj Babbar left his wife, Nadira, to marry Smita Patil in 1983. His daughter Juhi Babbar has recalled the time in a new interview.
Actor Raj Babbar was already married and had two children when he began his relationship with fellow actor, Smita Patil. The affair and the ensuing marriage saw a lot of controversy, given how it began. Raj Babbar’s daughter, former actor Juhi Babbar, has now opened up on the time and how she came to know about the relationship when she was just 7 years old.

Juhi Babbar on Raj Babbar and Smita Patil

In an interview with Lehren Retro, Juhi recalled how Smita Patil made a conscious effort to connect with Raj’s two children – Juhi and her brother, Arya. “My father talked and explained his marriage with Smita Patil to me when I was barely seven years old, and that’s why my memories of Smita ji are very different. She went out of her way to do things for me. I think she also had this thing that we are the kids of the person who is most special to her, and so we are special to her as well. She would show us a lot of love, always bringing us gifts when she travelled, and she would ensure that at home, we were served the food that we liked. These small memories are nice, but unfortunately, there aren’t many memories,” she said.

Juhi said she was conflicted about her impression of Smita at the time because the actor was always nice to us, but she could see that the marriage had shaken up her own family, particularly her mother, Nadira. “As a child, I knew this is the lady my father wants to be with, and he wants to make her his wife. I could see Smita making an effort towards me and my little brother, but I also knew that this was disturbing the unit that used to be, and that my mother was unhappy about it. I had that understanding—that aunty (Smita) was being so good to me, but when I go home, I shouldn’t share this with my mother.”
