Zoya Akhtar’s Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara starring Hrithik Roshan, Farhan Akhtar, Abhay Deol, Katrina Kaif and Kalki Koechlin is surely one of the most beautiful films we have seen in Bollywood. The movie is remembered for a lot of reasons like amazing cinematography, wonderful script, amazing performances, and beautiful music.

But well, there’s one more thing that grabbed our attention in the film. We are talking about the wonderful poems written by Javed Akhtar. Today, as ZNMD completes nine years of its release let’s go down the memory lane and revisit those poems.

Dil Aakhir Tu Kyun Rota Hai

Jab jab dard ka baadal chaya, Jab ghum ka saya lehraya, Jab aansoo palkon tak aya, Jab yeh tanha dil ghabraya. Humne dil ko yeh samjhaya, Dil aakhir tu kyun rota hai, Duniya mein yunhi hota hai. Yeh jo gehre sannate hain, Waqt ne sabko hi baante hain. Thoda ghum hai sabka qissa, Thodi dhoop hai sabka hissa. Aankh teri bekaar hi nam hai, Har pal ek naya mausam hai. Kyun tu aise pal khota hai, Dil aakhir tu kyun rota hai…

Apne Hone Pe Mujhko Yaqeen Aa Gaya

Pighlay neelam sa behta hua yeh samaan, Neeli neeli si khamoshiyaan, Na kahin hai zameen, Na kahin aasmaan. Sarsaraati huyi tehniyaan, pattiyaan, Keh rahi hain ki bas ek tum ho yahaan. Sirf main hoon meri saansein hain aur meri dhadkanein, Aisi gehraiyaan, Aisi tanhaiyaan, Aur main sirf main, Apne honay pe mujhko yaqeen aa gaya…

Toh Zinda Ho Tum

Dilon mein tum apni, Betaabiyan leke chal rahe ho, Toh zinda ho tum. Nazar mein khwabon ki, Bijliyan leke chal rahe ho, Toh zinda ho tum. Hawa ke jhokon ke jaise, Aazad rehno sikho, Tum ek dariya ke jaise lehron mein behna sikho, Har ek lamhe se tum milo, Khole apni bhaayein, Har ek pal ek naya samha, Dekhen yeh nigahaein. Jo apni aankhon mein, Hairaniyan leke chal rahe ho, Toh zinda ho tum.  Dilon mein tum apni, Betaabiyan leke chal rahe ho, Toh zinda ho tum...

Yeh Jaane Kaisa Raaz Hai

Ik baat honton tak hai jo aayi nahin, Bas ankhon say hai jhaankti, Tumse kabhi, Mujhse kabhi, Kuch lafz hain woh maangti. Jinko pehanke honton tak aa jaaye woh, Aawaaz ki baahon mein baahein daalke ithlaye woh. Lekin jo yeh ik baat hai, Ahsas hi ahsas hai, Khushboo si hai jaise hawa mein tairti, Khushboo jo be-aawaaz hai. Jiska pata tumko bhi hai, Jiski khabar mujhko bhi hai, Duniya se bhi chupta nahin, Yeh jaane kaisa raaz hai…

Jeet Adani marries Diva Shah, Adani family pledges £950M for social causes

Jeet Adani, the younger son of billionaire industrialist Gautam Adani, married Diva Jaimin Shah, daughter of diamond merchant Jaimin Shah, in an intimate wedding ceremony in Ahmedabad. The event, held at the Adani township, Shantigram, followed traditional Jain and Gujarati customs and was attended by close family members and loved ones. The wedding festivities began at 2 PM, with rituals conducted in a serene and traditional manner.

Despite the family’s prominence, the wedding was intentionally kept low-key, with no political figures or celebrities in attendance. Gautam Adani, who shared glimpses of the ceremony on social media, expressed gratitude and sought blessings for the newlyweds. "It was a small and extremely private function, so we could not invite all well-wishers even if we wanted to. I sincerely seek love and blessings for my daughter Diva and Jeet," he posted.

Hollywood stars Jennifer Aniston and Selena Gomez recently turned heads with their star-studded Galentine’s bash, blending glamour, nostalgia, and a whole lot of girl power. The duo, who share a close bond both personally and professionally, hosted the event to celebrate their beauty brands, LolaVie and Rare Beauty.

The highlight of the evening? The internet went into a frenzy when the duo recreated an iconic Friends scene, paying tribute to the sitcom that made Aniston a household name. A viral video showed them lip-syncing to Rachel and Joey’s famous “Do you know something?” exchange, originally performed by Aniston and Matt LeBlanc.

The night was filled with heartwarming moments, from their matching all-black outfits to their playful photo booth sessions. Aniston took to Instagram to share glimpses from the evening, captioning it, “Had a nice early Galentine’s with my girls.”

Selena Gomez, who has often referred to Aniston as a mentor, shared how the Friends star has been a constant source of support and advice. “She’s always been there for me,” Selena said, talking about the importance of having strong female friendships in her life. Aniston, in turn, praised Gomez, calling their bond a “sister-mother” relationship where they uplift and guide each other.

Beyond the celebrations, reports suggest that Aniston is also helping Selena plan her wedding to music producer Benny Blanco. The guest list is rumoured to include A-listers like Taylor Swift and Meryl Streep, making it one of the most anticipated celebrity weddings of the year.

From their heartfelt moments to a Friends throwback that broke the internet, Jennifer Aniston and Selena Gomez’s Galentine’s night was a perfect mix of nostalgia, friendship, and lots of glam.

Naga Chaitanya reacts to a fan saying he can’t act – Here’s what he had to say!

Naga Chaitanya, known for his charm and candidness, recently found himself in the spotlight during a fun Q&A session with his Thandel co-star Sai Pallavi. The actor, who is gearing up for the release of his upcoming film, faced a cheeky question from a fan that left everyone laughing.

When Sai Pallavi read out a fan’s question, “Acting epudu nerchukuntav? (When will you learn acting?)” Chaitanya appeared stunned for a brief moment, staring blankly at the camera as if processing the unexpected question. He then responded with a mix of surprise and humour, “Epudu nerchukuntav enti? (What do you mean, when will I learn?)”


Instead of getting defensive, the Thandelstar took it in stride and responded with a smile: "Honestly, acting is a continuous process. You never fully learn it; you keep growing with every project. If you think you’ve mastered it, that’s when you stop progressing. So, I’m still learning every single day."

While some appreciated his humility, others found the moment hilarious. Social media was soon buzzing with reactions, with many praising Chaitanya for handling the question with grace rather than taking offence. Some fans even tagged the person who originally asked the question, letting them know their comment had made its way to the actor.

This isn’t the first time Chaitanya has addressed criticism. In a recent interview, he opened up about dealing with trolls, admitting that while it bothered him early in his career, he has learnt to ignore the noise. “Clarifying things only leads to more drama. It’s a vicious cycle,” he said, adding that he now focuses on his work rather than responding to negativity.

Chaitanya’s upcoming film, Thandel, marks his third collaboration with director Chandoo Mondeti and his second pairing with Sai Pallavi after their hit film Love story. The survival drama, set to release on February 7, has already generated buzz, with fans eagerly waiting to see the duo’s chemistry on screen once again.

Having faced a mixed bag of box office results in recent years, Thandel is a crucial release for Chaitanya. Fans are eager to see if this film will mark a new chapter in his career and whether his continuous learning process pays off on the big screen.
