During the conversation with the moderator, SRK not only talked about his stardom but also shared how he dealt with failures. Urging people to introspect rather than dwell on their failures, he said, "When you fail, you should not believe that your product or service or job went wrong. Maybe you just misunderstood the ecosystem you were working in. You have to understand how people are reacting. If I cannot elicit an emotion from the people I cater to, then my product is not going to work how wonderful it may be." When asked if he is critical of his work sometimes, Shah Rukh candidly admitted, "Yes, I am. I hate feeling this way, and I cry a lot in my bathroom. I don't show it to anyone. You must believe that the world is not against you. If your film did go wrong, it's not because of you or some conspiracy. You have to accept that you made it badly, and then you have to move on." He also emphasised how one should be focused on learning how to move on from failures. "There are moments of despair but there are moments which say, 'shut up, get up and get on with it'. You have to do it because the world is not against you. You should not believe that things are going wrong only for you. Life moves on. Life does what it does. You cannot start blaming life for what it does," he added. After taking break from the films for over four years, SRK returned to the silver screen with Siddharth Anand's '<keyword id="19897075" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Pathaan" source="keywords">Pathaan</keyword>' in January 2023. In the film, SRK donned an action avatar and left everyone in awe. The film broke several records at the box office and managed to grab a name in the list of one of the highest-grossing films in the Indian film industry. The film marked SRK's first hit after his sabbatical of four years post delivering a series of duds like 'Zero' and 'Jab Harry Met Sejal'. After 'Pathaan', King Khan returned to theatres in September with '<keyword id="19897076" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Jawan" source="keywords">Jawan</keyword>'. The film once again saw SRK in an action avatar. The film collected over Rs 1000 cr. at the worldwide box office. 'Jawan' redefined box office success, captivating audiences with its gripping storyline and stellar performances, and rewriting record books along the way. Released on September 7, 2023, 'Jawan' marked the first collaboration of SRK with director Atlee.The film also stars Nayanthara, Priyamani, Sanya Malhotra, Ridhi Dogra, Lehar Khan, Girija Oak, and Sanjeeta Bhattacharya.

Shah, who will officially take up the role on December 1, 2024, is set to make history as the youngest individual to ever lead the global governing body for cricket. "I am humbled by the nomination as the Chair of the International Cricket Council. I am committed to working closely with the ICC team and our member nations to further globalise cricket," Shah stated in a release issued by the ICC. In his statement, Jay Shah highlighted the goals he has planned to set for his tenure. “We stand at a critical juncture where it is increasingly important to balance the coexistence of multiple formats, promote the adoption of advanced technologies, and introduce our marquee events to new global markets. Our goal is to make cricket more inclusive and popular than ever before," he said. Jay Shah’s involvement in <keyword id="22941138" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="cricket-administration" source="keywords">cricket administration</keyword> spans over ten years. He previously served as joint secretary of the Gujarat Cricket Association before being elected unopposed as <keyword id="20593546" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="BCCI-Secretary" source="keywords">BCCI Secretary</keyword> in October 2019. Since 2021, he has also held the position of Chairperson of the Asian Cricket Council. The appointment of Shah as the <keyword id="22895734" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="ICC-chairman" source="keywords">ICC chairman</keyword> has sparked controversy due to his connections. His father, <keyword id="19899491" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Amit-Shah" source="keywords">Amit Shah</keyword>, is India’s Home Minister and a close associate of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Critics argue that this raises concerns about nepotism and the merging of cricket with politics in India. Shah's own rise within cricket administration in Gujarat, where his father previously held the role of president of the Gujarat Cricket Association, further fuels these concerns. It will be interesting to see how, under the chairmanship of Jay Shah, cricket grows on a higher level on the global pedestal.

Known for his dimpled smile and comic timing, the 57-year-old actor left an indelible mark on both Marathi and Hindi cinema and television. Parchure’s journey in the industry was marked by versatility, with a career that spanned decades across theatre, film, and television. He gained widespread recognition for his roles in popular films like Billu, where he starred alongside <keyword id="19895142" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Shah-Rukh-Khan" source="keywords">Shah Rukh Khan</keyword>, Partner with Salman Khan, and All The Best with Ajay Devgn.

Reflecting on his health struggles, he told the media, “I was mentally prepared that something was wrong with me.” The <keyword id="6358794" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="weight-loss" source="Orion">weight loss</keyword> was a physical reminder of his fight, yet he remained hopeful throughout, reportedly never asking doctors about the stage of his illness. He shared that he stayed optimistic, keeping his worries private, largely for the sake of his family. Despite battling cancer, Parchure continued to pursue his passion for acting. Just days before his hospitalisation, he was rehearsing for an upcoming <keyword id="20824755" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Marathi-play" source="keywords">Marathi play</keyword> titled Suryachi Pillay. His friend and colleague, actor Jaywant Wadkar, shared that Parchure’s dedication never wavered. “He was also rehearsing for the show,” Wadkar recalled to the media, adding, “After being diagnosed with cancer, he came out and did a show.

Despite the high costs, Parchure credited his family — his wife, daughter, and mother — for their unwavering support, describing them as his “three pillars” who never let him feel like a patient. The actor’s passing has left a void in the industry, and an outpouring of condolences from colleagues and fans alike. Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde remarked, “The untimely death of Atul Parchure is painful. This loss is not recoverable.” Actor Shreyas Talpade also expressed his grief, calling Parchure a source of inspiration for the next generation. “He was a very big actor.

Mumbai: Superstar <keyword id="1671" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="shah-rukh-khan" source="Orion">Shah Rukh Khan</keyword> on Tuesday teased his friend and filmmaker <keyword id="19973215" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="karan" source="keywords">Karan</keyword> Johar for hosting more chat shows and directing lesser films. <keyword id="19900227" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="shah-rukh" source="keywords">Shah Rukh</keyword> and Karan, who are set to host the International Indian Film Academy (<keyword id="22515764" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="iifa" source="keywords">IIFA</keyword>) Awards 2024, have worked together in several hit movies such as "Kuch Kuch Hota Hai", "Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham...", "My Name is Khan", and "Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna". At the press conference of the IIFA Awards, Shah Rukh pulled Karan's leg for being less active on the directorial front. "He hosts chat shows, film shows. Picturein bhi toh bana mere bhai (When are you going to make films, my brother?)" said the superstar, eliciting laughter from the filmmaker. Karan, whose last directorial was 2023's "Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani", admitted Shah Rukh was right. "This is sounding so wrong on so many levels for a filmmaker. That I should be making movies. (But) That is exactly what I should be doing," said the filmmaker, who also hosts the popular celebrity chat show "Koffee With Karan". IIFA Awards, the three-day award gala, returns to Yas Island, Abu Dhabi, for the third consecutive year and will be held from September 27 to 29. Actor <keyword id="19895145" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="vicky-kaushal" source="keywords">Vicky Kaushal</keyword> will join Shah Rukh and Karan on the stage as a host. There will also be performances by veteran actor Rekha and stars such as <keyword id="19911186" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="shahid-kapoor" source="keywords">Shahid Kapoor</keyword>, Janhvi Kapoor, and Kriti Sanon. "I'm so privileged to be hosting this show with Vicky and Karan, and all the amazing talent. Some of us are present here this evening. And of course, there's going to be great performances to follow. There's going to be Shahid, Vicky, Jahnvi, Kriti, and of course, the most wonderful star of them all, Rekha ji," said Shah Rukh. The "Pathaan" star, who is returning to the IIFA stage as a host after almost a decade, said he wanted to present all editions of the awards show but the dates didn't match. "They called me once to host (IIFA), they are calling me back after 10 years," he quipped, saying these days it's important to "clarify" when it's a joke. "IIFA is being hosted all around the world, which makes us very proud. And more often than not I've had to beg them 'I'm shooting but you are in Vancouver, Toronto, Malaysia, do it (IIFA) here in Borivali or in film city like others do. But their vision is big," he added. For the first time, IIFA Awards 2024 is bringing together the best of both Hindi and South film industries-Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada, with an aim to celebrate and honour the richness and diversity of Indian cinema by showcasing Bollywood flair at the IIFA Awards and vibrant South Indian cinema at IIFA Utsavam, which marks the beginning of the grand event. Telugu star <keyword id="20115740" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="rana-daggubati" source="keywords">Rana Daggubati</keyword>, who will host IIFA Utsavam with Teja Sajja, also attended the press conference on Tuesday. Shah Rukh said this year's edition of IIFA is "more Indian" than ever. "IIFA has always thought of taking Indian cinema, now with the inclusion of Malayalam, Kannada, Tamil and Telugu and Hindi cinema (to the world)... "This is even more Indian than it has ever been before. Keeping up with your vision, I'm thankful now for trying to come back after so many years, I hope we can present it well and keep people entertained." Rana recalled being hosted by Shah Rukh at his house in Dubai for an after-party some time ago. "He is so hospitable. He has actually entertained the entire four (South) industries, not only as an actor but also as a human being," he said. The actor also thanked Karan, who presented the Hindi version of his two-part epic fantasy film "Baahubali", for supporting South cinema. "And really Karan, it started with you. The fact that we got 'Baahubali' here (in the north)... (It was) the first time all the languages started speaking cinema in some form. Thank you for that," Rana added. The press conference was also attended by "Yudhra" actor Siddhant Chaturvedi and "Stree 2" star Abhishek Banerjee. They will host IIFA Rocks 2024, the musical extravaganza which will bring down the curtain on the event. As he stepped on to the stage, Shah Rukh took a moment to congratulate Abhishek on the success of "Stree 2", his latest release. "Abhishek, it's so wonderful to see you live after watching your wonderful film. I've been wanting to call you," he said.

Shah Rukh Khan to Karan Johar: When are you going to make films?

He famously turned down the opportunity to work on <keyword id="19901337" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Karan-Johar" source="keywords">Karan Johar</keyword>’s iconic film <keyword id="19965749" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Kuch-Kuch-Hota-Hai" source="keywords">Kuch Kuch Hota Hai</keyword> (1998), a movie that went on to become a cultural phenomenon. In a recent chat on comedian <keyword id="22251029" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Sapan-Verma" source="keywords">Sapan Verma</keyword>’s YouTube channel, Javed Akhtar revealed that when Karan Johar approached him to work on Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, he initially agreed. However, when Johar decided on the film’s now-famous title, Javed had second thoughts. “Kuch Kuch Hota Hai… kya hota hai?” he wondered aloud, sharing how he couldn’t quite wrap his head around the vague phrase. Javed refused to write lyrics for a film with a title he found meaningless. At the time, Johar was a debutant director and Mr Akhtar, known for his profound and poetic sensibilities, probably felt that the title lacked the gravitas he typically looked for in a project. Instead, the film’s songs were penned by <keyword id="20407788" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Sameer-Anjaan" source="keywords">Sameer Anjaan</keyword>, who delivered chartbusters like "Tujhe Yaad Na Meri Aayi" and the iconic title track "Kuch Kuch Hota Hai." The soundtrack went on to become one of the most beloved of the decade, contributing greatly to the <keyword id="19900227" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Shah-Rukh" source="keywords">Shah Rukh</keyword>, Rani and Kajol-starrer’s success. And as Karan himself revealed during a discussion with designer Prabal Gurung on the Gold House YouTube channel, Javed Akhtar did call him after the movie’s success and admitted that he was wrong. Fortunately, all was not lost and Karan and Mr Akhtar joined forces on the 2003 film <keyword id="20040378" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Kal-Ho-Naa-Ho" source="keywords">Kal Ho Naa Ho</keyword>. Suffice to say, the music was a hit there as well. But looking back, it’s fascinating to think how the lyrical landscape of Kuch Kuch Hota Hai might have been different had Akhtar taken up the project — even if we adore the existing songs!

Earlier on Tuesday, Jay Shah was elected unopposed as the next Chairman of the <keyword id="19901179" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="International-Cricket-Council" source="keywords">International Cricket Council</keyword> (ICC). Shah, who has served as the BCCI Secretary since October 2019 and Chairman of the Asian Cricket Council since January 2021, will assume this prestigious role on December 1, 2024. Shah was the sole nominee for the chairmanship after current Chair Greg Barclay decided not to seek a third term, as per a media release by ICC. Upon his election, Shah expressed his intent to advancing the global reach and popularity of cricket, particularly with its upcoming inclusion in the LA 2028 Olympics--a moment he views as a pivotal opportunity for the sport's growth. "I am humbled by the nomination as the Chair of the International Cricket Council," Shah stated as quoted by ICC. "I am committed to working closely with the ICC team and our member nations to further globalize cricket. We stand at a critical juncture where it is increasingly important to balance the coexistence of multiple formats, promote the adoption of advanced technologies, and introduce our marquee events to new global markets. Our goal is to make cricket more inclusive and popular than ever before," Shah added. "While we will build on the valuable lessons learned, we must also embrace fresh thinking and innovation to elevate the love for cricket worldwide. The inclusion of our sport in the Olympics at LA 2028 represents a significant inflection point for the growth of cricket, and I am confident that it will drive the sport forward in unprecedented ways," Shah concluded. Jay Shah becomes the youngest person to lead the ICC. He joins the likes of Jagmohan Dalmiya, Sharad Pawar, N Srinivasan and Shashank Manohar as Indians who have led the ICC in the past. Shah's election marks a new chapter for the ICC as it seeks to expand the game's reach and continue its evolution on the global stage.
