Mumbai, August 11 (IANS) The premier episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati witnessed Sunny Deol and Preity Zinta, along with Aamir Khan, the first guests of the season.

During a fun exchange on the hot seat with host Amitabh Bachchan, Preity Zinta shared how the screen icon is an absolute favourite in her household.

The conversation started when the actress asked the host, “Sabse jyada film industry mein joh mere gharmein popular hain, aap guess kijiye woh kaun hain” (Guess who is the most popular person from the film industry in my house?) to which Big B joking said, “Koi bhi nahi.” (Nobody)

The actress further went on to reveal that her children know the megastar best through his famous song "Mere Paas Aao Mere Dosto" (from the 1979 film Mr. Natwarlal), “Aap, not for your movies, sorry mere bacche aapka woh ganna sunte hain, they tell me mom sher wala gaana.. mere paas aao mere… woh joh aap kartein hain na jingle tunes, so my kids always do that” (You! But not for your movies. My kids listen to that song of yours. They tell me 'Mom, play the tiger song... Mere Paas Aao Mere...'. That jingle tune you do, my kids are always doing that)

Preity left the studio in splits, prompting Big B to share his own hilarious observation about how the younger generation perceives his 55-year cinematic legacy. “Chaliye dhanyawaad hain kisi film se humara sambandh rakhetin hain woh.. itne bacche milte haina, woh apne mummy-daddy aakarke yaha boltein hain, sir humara chota baccha hain 5 saal ka picture dekhtein hi bolta hai Sir, KBC uncle.. yaani 50-55 saal hogaye kaam karte huye, itni filmo mein kaam kia hain kisi character kaa naam hi nahi lete hai, sirf unko KBC yaad ata hain”

(Well, thank you, at least they associate me with some movie! So many parents come up to me and say, 'Sir, our 5-year-old child sees your photo and says, Look, KBC Uncle.' Meaning after working for 50-55 years in movies and doing so many films, nobody takes the name of any character, they only remember KBC)

For the uninitiated, the iconic song loved by Preity Zinta’s children featured in Big B's superhit movie Mr. Natwarlal which released in 1979.The film featured Amitabh Bachchan, Rekha, Ajit, Kader Khan, Amjad Khan and the music was constructed by Rajesh Roshan, with the songs written by Anand Bakshi.

The singer has five-year-old Daisy with former fiance Orlando Bloom and she was happy to take her little girl on the road with her for her recent Lifetimes tour because she is proud to be an example of a "strong" woman, reports ‘Female First UK’.

She told ‘People’ magazine, "It's always incredible when I get to bring my daughter to work. I think when mothers can be their most supported, authentic selves, that is always a good template for children to model. And I'm just glad to model a strong, steady, intelligent, funny, weird woman for my beautiful daughter”.

And she added at the Tribeca Festival premiere of her concert film Katy Perry, The Lifetimes Tour, Live from Paris, “I think, as mothers and fathers, we're just modelling something for our children, and all we can hope for is that they will grow up into better versions of ourselves, and themselves. I think if I'm out there living my most authentic, free, supported, empowered, smart, sexy life, and she's going to have a pattern to follow, a model to follow”.

As per ‘Female First UK’, the 41-year-old star shared she is proud Daisy is already confident enough to share her opinions.

She said, "She's a force. She tells me exactly what she thinks”. At the premiere, Katy, who was previously married to Russell Brand, declared her new boyfriend, former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, to be the "love of (her) life".

She said, “I am very in love. Actually that show was after I met the love of my life, and so I felt very anchored by that. Because I'm a little bit like a rainbow kite. I fly super high and like, you know, touch the veil, cosmos, and sometimes I need to be anchored. So, to have that anchor finally makes me feel really whole now”.Katy couldn't be happier with the way her life is now. She said, “Every day is a fantastic journey, and every day is a chance to evolve, and to be a better person and do the right thing and to be a model for your community, for your family, for your world. I feel like a more grounded person in so many aspects of my life”. Katy Perry opens up on her ambitions for daughter | MorungExpress | morungexpress.com

Mumbai, (IANS) Social media personality Mira Rajput Kapoor, who is also the wife of Bollywood actor Shahid Kapoor, has shared excerpts of her chat with her 9 year old daughter Misha Kapoor.

On Sunday, Mira took to the Stories section of her Instagram, and penned a long note, in which she spoke about the recent conversation with her daughter.

She wrote, “A chat with my 9 year old My daughter asked me at dinner last night while my Dad and I were discussing how work is going, ‘Can I also be a part of this conversation’. I said, ‘Ofcourse’. She remarked, ‘But I'm not a businesswoman’. I said, ‘Yes you are. You have your own bakery. You did a pop-up’. So she said ‘But that was just once’. I asked her ‘Did you make money? Did you enjoy what you did? Did you follow your passion?’ So she smiled and said, ‘Yes’. So I told her, ‘Then you can do it again. You're already a businesswoman’. Our girls don't need to be encouraged to have dreams. They already do”.

She further mentioned, “They just need us to help them through self-doubt. Their thoughts are far more crystallised than ours were at that age. Involve your kids in your conversations. Show them what you're doing. Explain why you're busy, why you're tired, why you're still excited and ready to go back. Of course there's more to a business than just those three things, but for her it simplified the dream while adding responsibility. They're watching us follow our dreams so let's show them how to be fearless”.Mira Rajput Kapoor and Shahid Kapoor tied the knot on July 7, 2015. Their daughter, Misha Kapoor, was born on August 26, 2016. The couple later welcomed a son, Zain Kapoor, in 2018.
