Madhushala

Madiralaya jane ko ghar se

Chalta hai peene wala

Kis path se jaun?

Asmanjas mein hai who bhola-bhaala

Alag-alag path batlaate sab,

Par main yah batlaata hun-

Raah pakad tu ek chala chal,

Paa jayega madhushala

Ruke Na Tu

Dhanush utha, prahaar kar

Tu sabse pehla vaar kar

Agni si dhadhak-dhadhak

Hiran si sajag-sajag

Singh si dahaad kar

Shankh si pukaar kar

Ruke na tu, thake na tu

Jhuke na tu, thame na tu

Kya Karu Samveda Lekar Tumhari

Main dukhi jab-jab hua

Samvedna tumne dikhai

Main kritagya hua hamesha

Reet dono ne nibhai

Kintu iss abhaar ka ab

Ho chuka hai bojh bhaari

Kya karu samvedna lekar tumhari

Kya karu?

Agneepath

Tu na thakega kabhi,

Tu na thamega kabhi,

Tu na mudega kabhi,

Kar shapath, kar shapath, kar shapath,

Agneepath, agneepath, agneepath

Bollywood stars Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh welcomed their first, baby girl, on Sunday at Mumbai’s HN Reliance Hospital, as per the report. The arrival of the healthy baby marks a significant new chapter in the lives of Deepika and Ranveer Singh.

The couple, accompanied by their family members, were spotted arriving at the hospital on Sunday, with photographers being unable to capture clear pictures as they remained inside their curtained car. Their family members followed suit soon after their arrival.

In preparation for the baby’s arrival, the duo visited the iconic Siddhivinayak Temple in Mumbai on Friday, seeking blessings from Lord Ganesha ahead of Ganesh Chaturthi. Images and videos of Deepika in a green-colored saree with a baby bump went viral on social media.

The couple announced their pregnancy in February this year through a joint post signifying “September 2024” with adorable motifs of baby clothes, shoes, and balloons. They also shared pictures from their maternity photoshoot, showing a radiant Deepika flaunting her baby bump with Ranveer by her side.

Reports suggest that the couple might embark on this new journey in a new residence. It is rumored that Deepika and Ranveer may move into a luxurious apartment in Bandra, near superstar Shah Rukh Khan’s bungalow, Mannat. The apartment will comprise floors 16 to 19 with a private terrace once construction is complete.

Known for keeping their relationship private, Deepika and Ranveer started dating in 2013 on the set of “Goliyon Ki Rasleela: Ram-Leela” and tied the knot at Lake Como, Italy, in 2018, in an intimate ceremony with close friends and family in attendance.

Deepika Padukone’s most recent appearance in the Prabhas-starrer “Kalki 2898 AD” became the biggest blockbuster of 2024. Her upcoming project includes Rohit Shetty’s “Singham Again,” alongside husband Ranveer Singh, scheduled to release on Diwali this year.

Akshay Kumar reveals receiving condolence messages after his films flop, says still alive

Films like Sarfira, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, Mission Raniganj, Selfiee, Raksha Bandhan, Samrat Prithviraj, and Bachchhan Paandey were not hits.

Akshay Kumar, a Bollywood actor, made a statement on Friday addressing recent box office failures saying it is ridiculous that people are writing sympathetic messages expressing how they feel sorry for me just because my recent film did not perform well in theaters. He added that he is not bothered by such remarks and will continue to do his work as he has done for three decades.

Films like Sarfira, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, Mission Raniganj, Selfiee, Raksha Bandhan, Samrat Prithviraj, and Bachchhan Paandey were not hits.

Showing his positive attitude, he added, “Whatever happens in life happens for a better and bigger reason. Yes, my four or five films have not done well, so what? People are sending sympathetic messages like ‘Don’t worry’ and ‘It will be okay,’ but why?”

He also mentioned a journalist who wrote about his comeback, saying, “I called him up and inquired what ‘back’ even means. I have not gone anywhere; I am still here working on my next film.” Kumar conveyed this message to reporters at the trailer launch of Khel Khel Mein.

At the age of 56, the actor declared, “I am here, and I will continue to work. I don’t heed what presumptions and assumptions people make about me. I wake up with a productive mindset, exercise, go to work, and what I make, I do on my own. I don’t owe anything to anyone.”

Mudassar Aziz, known for directing Happy Bhag Jayegi and Pati Patni Aur Woh, is behind the comedy-drama Khel Khel Mein, which is set to compete at the box office with two other Hindi films: John Abraham’s Vedaa and Stree 2, releasing on August 15. Despite the competition, Aziz expressed his support for all the films, emphasizing a collaborative spirit within the Hindi film industry.

He stated, “We all belong to the same industry, I don’t see it as a competition. I have admiration for Amar Kaushik’s work (director of Stree 2) . I genuinely hope both of our films are a success at the box office.”

Aziz highlighted the importance of collective success for the industry, saying, “When a festive weekend arrives, it’s a chance to encourage audiences to visit cinemas. In Khel KhelMein, I’ve even included a nod to Stree as a way of saying, ‘Let’s make this a successful weekend for Hindi cinema .’

Khel Khel Mein is produced by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, Vipul D Shah, Ashwin Varde, Rajesh Bahl, Shashikant Sinha, and Ajay Rai.
