Tom Hanks, the celebrated star of Forrest Gump, recently expressed admiration for Aamir Khan’s Laal Singh Chaddha, the Hindi adaptation of his iconic film.

Reflecting on its reception, she revealed that Aamir took the setback to heart, choosing to step back from films to focus on family and personal growth. Rao emphasized the importance of this break, saying it was a time of introspection and that the family rallied around him for support.

Kartik Aaryan, known for his passion for cars, recently shared the heartwarming story of his very first car. In a conversation with Mashable India, the actor opened up about buying a third-hand Toyota Corolla for around Rs 50,000. Despite its challenges, like a leaky roof that dripped water on him during the monsoon and a driver’s door that wouldn’t open, Kartik fondly remembers the car as his companion for countless long drives and difficult days. 

Though the car became unrepairable over time, he admitted it was hard to part with it. “I was quite emotional when I had to give it away,” he shared, adding that instead of selling it, he passed it on to someone in need.
