On Friday, October 17, history was made as Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, and Aamir Khan graced the 2025 edition of Joy Forum at the SEF Arena, Boulevard City, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Salman was the first to be welcomed on stage, followed by SRK and Aamir.

The host reminded them that the last time the three Khans came together was ten years ago. Salman Khan agreed, “The last time we shared a stage was at Rajat Sharma’s place.” Aamir added, “Where you both forced me to dance!”

The first question asked was about the ‘it’ factor that would turn an actor into a star. Shah Rukh answered, “This would be mine, Aamir and Salman’s experience and also of those actors who have worked for many, many years, that there’s nothing like an ‘it’ factor. If somebody ever tells you that, it is absolutely redundant and not true. You don’t know what the ‘it’ factor is. The ‘it’ factor has to do with the audience, how they perceive your persona, how you look, how you talk, and how you walk…It’s just something about a person that an audience starts liking in large numbers. If you ask Aamir right now, he’ll tell you, ‘I don’t know why I am a star’. If you ask me, I’ll say, ‘I don’t know why I am a star’.”

Salman joked, “But I know!” SRK smiled and said, “Salman is the only one! Nobody else would know.” Salman replied, “I am because if God wants you to be a star, you’ll become one!” As expected, the audience broke into applause.

Salman explained, “None of us call ourselves stars. We don’t believe in it. Some journalists mention ‘Salman Khan, star’, ‘Shah Rukh Khan, superstar’ or ‘Aamir Khan, super duper star’! We don’t believe it at all. At home, we are just like everyone else. I still get yelled at by my father and my mother. I still get told by my sisters and my brothers (sic). So, we are just normal human beings. It's just that so many people who we work with, they are the people who portray average, mediocre people like me, not them (pointing at Shah Rukh Khan and Aamir Khan), to look like a God on screen. So, the credit is not ours. It is your DOP, your director, your writer and then, the people and fans who want to see Aamir Khan, Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, Akshay Kumar, Ajay Devgn, Sanjay Dutt on screen and they like what they see on screen.”

The fourth episode of Two Much With Kajol And Twinkle featured Govinda and Chunky Panday. Both raised a lot of laughs and at the same time, they also opened up about their hardships and struggles. Chunky’s career got a new lease of life by playing Aakhri Pasta in Housefull’s first part (2010). The character became so iconic and popular that he was repeated in all other films of the series. Chunky revealed on the show that he was not the original choice and that it was going to be played by Sajid Khan, who was also the director of Housefull.

Chunky Panday said, “I believe the second innings of my career happened all thanks to my wife Bhavana Pandey. She brought luck for me after we got married. We got married in the year 1998, when my career was at my lowest phase. I had a career in Bangladesh but even that was about to end. It was a very big thing. But it lasted from 1993 to 1998 aur woh khatam hone aa raha tha. She was the only one who told me to come back to Bollywood.”

He continued, “In fact, the best film that I’ve had recently is the Housefull series. Sajid Khan, Bhavana and I were at a party. Sajid Khan told Bhavana that he was making a film called Housefull. He said, ‘Everyone wants me to play this character of Aakhri Pasta. Lekin main nahin kar paunga because it would be difficult for me to act as well as direct at the same time’. He further said, ‘I am wondering who I should cast’. Bhavana asked him, ‘Why don’t you take Chunky?’. He looked at me and asked, ‘Chunky, will you do it?’. I replied, ‘Haan, main karoonga’. So, I feel that my wife has been very lucky for me.”

Ajay Devgn, R Madhavan, Rakul Preet Singh, Meezaan Jafri, Jaaved Jaaferi and Gautami Kapoor, director Anshul Sharma, producers Bhushan Kumar, Luv Ranjan and Ankur Garg attended the trailer launch of their film, De De Pyaar De 2, in Mumbai. The film looks fun-filled and the trailer event was also quite entertaining. It was heartening to see Ajay Devgn, who usually cracks a joke with a deadpan face, making merry and laughing heartily.

A journalist asked Ajay Devgn, “Why did you change the director (from the first part)?” Ajay smiled and said, “I did not change the director (smiles). That question goes to Luv. By the way, Anshul was involved thoroughly in the making of the first part as well.”

Luv Ranjan added, “He was the creative producer on part 1. As for Akiv Ali, he wanted to do an action drama. He was not interested in repeating the genre.”

Another journalist asked if Ajay Devgn had reservations about certain dialogues in the film. Luv Ranjan revealed, “Ajay sir has never read a line and told me, ‘Isse change kar de; yeh sahi nahin lag rahi’.”

Ajay Devgn said, “Whatever is right for the script needs to be there. Aapko galat lag raha hai? Toh fir aaiye aur bataiye kya galat lag raha hai (smiles).”

The journalist then mentioned the line that caused her anguish, “Hamare dost ko buddha bola.” Ajay smiled again and said, “Dost ki baat nahin hai. Yeh apne baare mein baat kar rahi hai!” He then laughed out loud, and it made for a rare moment.

R Madhavan hailed Ajay Devgn, “I had witnessed during the shoot of Shaitaan (2024) that Ajay sir is only focused on the benefit of the film. He never says ‘Main hero hoon toh mujhe aisi cheezein mat kaho’. Honestly, at times, I feel (yeh role) ek aam hero ke liye accept karna mushkil hai. I myself might not have done the part (played by Ajay). But the amount of enthusiasm that he showed for all of us, we got a chance to perform freely. The only reason it was difficult was that I had to play a father.”

At this point, Ajay Devgn again raised laughs as he remarked, “In a way, it’s a sequel to Shaitaan. Usme yeh meri beti le jaate hai. Isme main iski beti le jaata hoon.”

De De Pyaar De 2 releases in cinemas on November 14.
