Shweta Bachchan Nanda, despite her Bollywood lineage, had her share of celebrity crushes. She confessed her admiration for Salman Khan, even requesting her brother Abhishek to get her the iconic 'Friend' cap from 'Maine Pyaar Kiya'. She also revealed her fondness for Aamir Khan, who would write her birthday letters annually.

Salman Khan will start shooting Galwan in Ladakh by late July, adopting a lean look and crew cut. The film, based on the 2020 Galwan Valley clash and India’s Most Fearless, features intense action. Post this, Salman is set to reunite with Kabir Khan for a new original project.

In a rare display of camaraderie, Salman Khan publicly lauded Aamir Khan's 'Dangal' in 2016, setting aside any perceived rivalry. Salman even acknowledged 'Dangal' surpassed his own film, 'Sultan.' The movie, a biopic on the Phogat sisters' journey to wrestling glory, resonated deeply with audiences. 'Dangal' achieved unprecedented success, grossing Rs 538.

At the 'Sitaare Zameen Par' screening, Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan showed their support for Aamir Khan, bonding with the children from the film. A viral video captured Salman's bodyguard mistakenly pushing away Aamir's son, Junaid Khan, initially unrecognized. The event was attended by numerous celebrities, including Rekha and Vicky Kaushal, adding to the star-studded atmosphere.

Aamir Khan's Sitaare Zameen Par started slow but is gaining momentum. Early shows began later, impacting initial bookings. However, ticket sales surged recently, indicating growing interest. The film earned Rs 1.68 crore by 1 pm. Kuberaa, starring Dhanush, opened stronger with Rs 3.58 crore. Sitaare Zameen Par hopes to improve with evening shows and positive word of mouth.
