FRIDAY TRIVIA: Deepak Tijori said that he battled with Salman Khan for the role of Prem in Maine Pyar Kiya.
Maine Pyar Kiya is unquestionably one of Bollywood’s most iconic flicks. This is, without a doubt, the film that made Salman Khan a star and helped him get a foothold in the hearts of his fans. Indeed, his followers remember this film, its music, and its dialogues, and they never grow old. But can you image how different this movie would be if Salman wasn’t in it? In today’s flashback Friday, we bring you a clip from Deepak Tijori’s interview, in which he disclosed that he was competing for the main role in this film with the Bajrangi Bhaijaan actor.
Yes! Yes, you read that correctly. Deepak Tijori, a well-known personality in the 1990s, said in an interview with Bollywood Hungama that he and Salman Khan both auditioned for the role of Prem in Maine Pyar Kiya. He was competing, but subsequently Sooraj Barjatya informed him that the Barjatya family had opted to go forward with Salman after watching the rushes. He went on to say that he and Salman were the only two guys in the running for the part of Prem. “They even informed me that if I was chosen, they wanted to change my name on the screen and talk about how they wanted to launch me,” the actor continued.
Meanwhile, Maine Pyar Kiya was released in 1989 and was Salman’s first leading role. It also marked Bhagyashree’s acting debut. The Sooraj Barjatya-directed film went on to become one of India’s highest-grossing films at the time. Bhagyashree, on the other hand, stated shortly after that she was leaving the industry after only one film to marry Himalaya Dassani.

Food blogger attacked by Swara Bhasker for boasting about being a vegetarian on Twitter: “Smug self-righteousness”
In response to food blogger Nalini Unagar’s “proud to be a vegetarian” tweet, actor Swara Bhasker attacked Unagar. On Sunday, Nalini posted a photo of her lunch at X. It included a paneer dish and fried rice.
What was said by the food blogger?
Nalini shared the picture and added, “I’m happy to be a vegetarian. There are no more tears, cruelty, or guilt on my platter.”
This is Swara’s response.
In response, Swara penned, “To be honest… I find vegetarians’ arrogant self-righteousness to be incomprehensible. Denying the calf its mother’s milk, forcing cows to become pregnant, ripping them from their calves, and taking their milk are the main components of your diet.”
Furthermore, she said, “You eat root vegetables? That eliminates the entire plant! Just because it’s Bakr Eid, don’t stress about virtue signalling (folded hands emojis). June 16–17 is when Bakr Eid, or Eid al-Adha, is observed.
Swara just had her Eid celebration.
A few months after celebrating Eid al-Fitr, Swara posted a tweet. She celebrated the occasion with her daughter Raabiyaa and spouse Fahad Ahmad. On her Instagram Stories, Swara posted snippets of her Eid festivities. Swara and Raabiyaa were shown in one of the stories pointing at the Eid ka Chaand. Another photo shows Swara, her daughter, and Fahad posing as a family. Fahad is Muslim, but Swara is Hindu.
When Swara discussed the cultures of her and Fahad
Swara performed a chhathi puja for Raabiyaa the previous year. She revealed tidbits from the festivities and reported discovering shared cultural experiences with Fahad’s family. “The child is a mish mash of the mish mash we are,” Swara had wrote. She therefore has 62.5% UP, 12.5% Bihar, and 25% Andhra. Furthermore, I support representation and am always up for a celebration! Furthermore, since our wedding, we’ve learned that Muslims and Hindus in North India have common cultural customs, which strengthens my conviction that, despite our variety, love and joy will always find a language.”
“Chhathhi, or the sixth day of a child’s birth, is celebrated throughout UP Bihar. Mom and kid dress in the colour of turmeric or haldi, and aunts or bua put kaajal on the child and parents to protect them from ‘nazar,’ or the evil eye! I’m performing a well-known “sohar”—celebration songs for new babies. Although sohars are often used to celebrate newborn boys, I customised it for a newborn girl—oh! And although sisters and aunts sing the sohars, mothers don’t, so I thought, “Why not?” Dholak aa gaya hai! Thank you to @manisha2967 for the Chhathhi lesson and the beautiful singing I was able to do, and to Bhanu ji @partapsinghb11 for the dholak that helped make my singing pleasant.
