Meera

  • Meera also revealed three separate meetings with Bollywood superstars.
  • Meera mentioned Shah Rukh Khan’s interest in casting her in ‘Jab Tak Hai Jaan.’

Actress Meera recently made an appearance on Mohsin Abbas Haider’s show, where she shared her experiences of meeting various Bollywood actors during her visit to India.

During her stay, Meera had the privilege of meeting the legendary icon, Dilip Kumar, who graciously invited her to his home for dinner. During her three-day visit, she also had the opportunity to meet Dilip Kumar’s wife, Saira Banu. Meera recounted how the ‘Mughal-e-Azam’ actor, with warmth, mentioned that he could discern her origins, saying, “I can smell the fragrance of Pakistan and Lahore from you. I feel its aroma.”

She also disclosed that she had crossed paths with Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan on three separate occasions during her trips to India. The first encounter took place in London after she completed her film ‘Nazar.’ The second time, she dined with renowned director Yash Raj, Dilip Kumar, and actress Rani Mukherjee. Her final meeting with Shah Rukh Khan was at a birthday celebration for actor Abhishek Bachchan, where she received a personal invitation from Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt, along with actor Moammar Rana and singer Rafaqat Ali Khan.

In a previous appearance on the comedy talk show, the ‘Mushkil’ actress revealed that Shah Rukh Khan had expressed a personal interest in casting her in his film ‘Jab Tak Hai Jaan.’ However, the opportunity couldn’t materialize due to visa-related issues, as Meera was unable to secure a visa to travel to London for the film.

Mughal-e-Azam director’s biopic will be directed by Tigmanshu Dhulia

Tigmanshu Dhulia
  • Tigmanshu Dhulia, who won a National Award for his film Paan Singh Tomar.
  • Who is most noted for the 1960s classic Mughal-e-Azam.
  • The filmmaker shares that he has been working on the idea for the past few years.

Tigmanshu Dhulia, whose film Paan Singh Tomar (2012) won a National Award, is excited to direct another biopic. This time, the producer-director K Asif, best known for the 1960s classic Mughal-e-Azam, is his topic of interest.

The director says that he has been working on the idea for a few years, and that he will work on this project for a long time after finishing Ghamasaan.

Dhulia states, “The film says a lot more than Salim and Anarkali’s love story” regarding his fascination with Asif. Then, I was interested to learn about some well-known kissey (incidents) involving K Asif and the film’s production. Imagine that man dropped out of Class 5 or Class 6; He was a tailor by trade, and he only made two movies in his life: Phool (1945), Mughal-e-Azam (1986, released 15 years after his death in 1971), and Love and God
“From where I see it, that man was a magnum opus — his vision, flamboyance, four marriages, fallout with (late actor) Dilip

Kumar (who played Salim), and so many other things,” the filmmaker continues. “The film is said to be a magnum opus. I sometimes get the impression that God sent him with a farman (order) to create this masterpiece.

According to the 55-year-old, “renowned journalist and Urdu exponent Rajkumar Keswani had written a lot about Mughal-e-Azam, its making, and people associated with the film in his memoirs.” Keswani passed away in Bhopal in May 2021, but Priti Sinha, the producer of Dhulia’s OTT series The Great Indian Murder, had acquired the rights to it while he was alive. The director, who is also well-known for his role as Ramadhir Singh in Anurag Kashyap’s cult film Gangs of Wasseypur, says, “We (Dhulia) are working on the story with writers Kamlesh Pandey and Iqbal Rizvi.”

In addition to his ongoing project, he has finalized the script for TGIM’s second and final season and revisited his debut film, Haasil (2003), with the OTT series Garmi.

Madhubala met Dilip Kumar one last time after his wedding to Saira

Dilip Kumar
  • Dilip Kumar wrote in his autobiography about his last meeting with Madhubala.
  • Who had the quality to “forget the past and live in the present”.
  • Saira Banu at once insisted that I should meet Madhu since it must be something she was distressed about.”

Madhubala, a former celebrity, passed away in 1969 at the young age of 36; her passing anniversary is on Thursday. We examine what Bollywood actor Dilip Kumar wrote on this day in his autobiography Dilip Kumar: The Matter and the Shadow.
In his autobiography, Dilip Kumar discussed how his second wife, actress Saira Banu, had the ability to “forget the past and live in the present.” He also described his final encounter with Madhubala. “Shortly after our nikah (marriage), while we were living in Madras, Madhubala sent me a note requesting an urgent meeting. As soon as we were back in Mumbai, I told Saira about the telegram. I was immediately persuaded by Saira Banu to meet Madhu because I had to.

Said he, “I was saddened to observe Madhu’s frailty and seeming weakness when I visited her home. Her face was pale, which not only indicated that she was unwell, but also made her gorgeous, impish smile appear forced. She exclaimed, “Hamarey shehzade ko unki shehzadi mil gayi hai, main bahut khush hoon!” when she saw me. (I am overjoyed that our prince has found his princess.)”

In addition, Dilip said that Madhubala was troubled by “certain personal concerns on which she wanted my counsel and which we discussed till she was largely confident that they could be resolved. She then let go. I hadn’t seen her since then. The aforementioned passage, incidentally, appears in the chapter that examines Dilip’s second wife, actor Saira Banu.

Dilip and Madhubala first met in 1951 while working on the set of their movie Tarana, and they hit it off right away. Soon, they were one of the most well-known on-screen couples after appearing in movies like Sangdil, Amar, together. Even though they were planning to marry, her father objected to the union. The legendary period drama Mughal-E-Azam, directed by K Asif, was their final collaboration.

Dilip also claimed in the book that his reaction to their breakup was significantly less dramatic than reported in the media. “I was genuinely pleased when we split up because I had also started to grasp the idea that while working together as artists was great, a woman should be prepared to give more in a marriage than she receives. I had grown up witnessing Amma’s unwavering commitment to the family and her impeccable moral character.
