“Just a few days ago, when Aamir Khan arrived to see me, accompanied by Gauri, my heart was filled with a warmth that only the presence of dear and familiar souls can bring. Aamir has always been, in my experience, one of the most gracious, thoughtful and gentle person one could hope to know,” she wrote, adding, “His admiration for Dilip Sahib, was never merely that of an admirer from afar. It was a regard born of genuine affection that revealed itself time and again through the years.”

Saira also shared that Aamir stayed by her side through Dilip’s hospital visits, writing, “Through moments both joyous and difficult, Aamir remained close to us. During the rather complicated journey of bringing Dilip Sahib’s book to life, he extended his support with remarkable care. In times of illness, when the hospital corridors felt particularly long and heavy, he was there as well offering quiet companionship and a kindness that I shall never forget. It is such gestures, so unassuming yet so meaningful, that reveal the true measure of a person.”

“Thus, when he stepped into my home a few days ago, it was not simply a visit it felt as though a beloved member of the family had come calling. On this special day, as the world celebrates your birthday, Aamir, I wish to say that while millions admire the brilliance of the artist you are, those of us who know you cherish the rare and wonderful human being you have always remained. There can truly be only one Aamir. Happy Birthday. With love, Saira,” she wrote, wishing the actor on his birthday.

Aamir celebrated his 61st birthday with Gauri, ex-wives Reena Dutta and Kiran Rao, and children, Junaid Khan, Ira Khan and Azad Rao Khan. Former Indian cricketer Irfan Pathan took to Instagram to share a glimpse from the birthday celebrations. “HBD to my forever Sikander,” wrote Kiran Rao, wishing him on his birthday.

In 2022, after dating for over 5 long years, Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt got married in an intimate ceremony at their Bandra home. The couple have always kept their personal life private. However, later that year on Karan Johar’s chat show, Alia revealed how RK proposed to her in Maasai Mara, Kenya. The actor shared, “In terms of Ranbir and his planning, he totally blew my mind away because I was not expecting it. We were not even talking about it. We were talking about it for a very long time but then there were so many pandemic delays, that we decided we won’t talk about it. We’ll just go with feeling. And that’s exactly what he did. He didn’t tell anyone. He just carried the ring and he did it in the most amazing place, Maasai Mara.”

She went on to share, “What I didn’t expect was that he planted our guide to take pictures also. So after everything was over, I was still dealing with the shock and I was emotional and he showed me pictures. And I was like, ‘You managed to take pictures’, because he knows how much pictures mean to me.” Revealing her Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani co-star Ranveer Singh’s reaction to the proposal picture, Alia shared, “I tell you the story when I showed him the pictures, He was like…Haww! (shocking reaction). He started crying.” Alia went on to add, “He had tears in his eyes.”

Not long after the wedding, Ranbir got busy with the promotions of his film Shamshera (2022). During the same, RK was asked how he kept the surprise proposal a secret. Hearing this, the actor told TOI, “It wasn’t difficult, just don’t tell anybody. I think it was a beautiful moment and just happened very naturally and organically.”

In November 2022, Alia and Ranbir welcomed their daughter Raha into the world. As the happy family celebrates Alia’s birthday in Hong Kong today, we wish them all the love and joy!

Mariah Carey’s 2001 film ‘Glitter’ is making a comeback after its rocky debut in the shadow of 9/11. With newfound enthusiasm from fans, Carey is thrilled to announce a special edition reissue of both the film and its accompanying soundtrack, which have recently enjoyed a nostalgic revival. Once dismissive of its failure, she now celebrates the film’s reinvigorated fandom.

Mariah Carey’s 2001 film ‘Glitter’ may not have spread its magic back in the day, but the movie carries a special place in her heart. The film, which originally arrived in theatres just 11 days after the devastating 9/11 attacks, was Mariah’s acting debut. Now, the singer-songwriter has revealed that new plans are underway for ‘Glitter.’

Mariah is excited about the new plans for ‘Glitter’

During a recent interview with Variety, Mariah, 56, was asked about the upcoming 25th anniversary of the film. Noting that the film has disappeared from streaming services in the last month, Carey confirmed there’s something in the works. “(There are) plans for a deluxe and a reissue, or maybe just one, I don’t know. We’re getting on top of it. I’m excited about it,” she shared.

‘Glitter’ was released in a challenging time

The movie, loosely based on Carey’s life story, was released on September 21, 2001, 10 days after the terrorist attacks on New York City’s World Trade Center, Washington D.C.’s Pentagon, and Pennsylvania’s Somerset County. Despite the anticipation surrounding Carey’s acting debut, the film struggled at the box office. As per IMDB, ‘Glitter’ made just USD 5.3 million worldwide.

Mariah Carey described the project as a disastrous flop

Over the years, the singer herself has spoken candidly about the disappointment she felt during that period. Reflecting on the film’s early reception, Carey told Variety, “I used to hate it. I used to be so like, ‘Why did I do that?’ ” describing the project as “a disastrous flop” that came during a particularly challenging phase in her life.“And then, you know, it became something that I really loved, and it just sort of took on its own thing,” she continued.

How fans are reviving ‘Glitter’

However, ‘Glitter’ has experienced an unexpected cultural revival. In recent years, fans have come around to appreciate the film and its soundtrack. The 2018 #JusticeForGlitter viral movement led to the soundtrack reaching the iTunes Top 10 albums chart, 17 years after its release.
