What happened when Akshay Kumar collided with Bangkok RTO’s bike
Mumbai– Akshay Kumar recounted his accident story in Thailand, sharing how the incident taught him the significance of humility.
Akshay, who was the first guest on the talk show ‘Dhawan Karenge’ hosted by cricketer Shikhar Dhawan, reminisced about a memorable incident from his visit to the exotic destination of Bangkok.
He shared: “My father realised my disinterest in studies and helped me move to Bangkok at an early age. I really liked the country. Right from the minute you leave the plane, you find everyone bowing down to you with their hands joined. It feels very nice and beautiful especially when you realise that it’s actually taken from our culture and followed so politely there.”
“I remember an incident that taught me the significance of humility and bowing down. When you humble yourself, you gain the resilience to navigate through any challenge or obstacle. Once, while driving, I accidentally collided with the bike of an RTO officer while making a turn, causing both of us to fall. Scared, I immediately apologised, bowing to him. The officer assisted me in getting my bike and helmet up and calmly advised me to drive slowly and carefully,” added Akshay.
‘Dhawan Karenge’ is airing on JioCinema Premium.

Mumbai– Shubhangi Atre, who plays Angoori Bhabi in the sitcom ‘Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai’ shared insights into how she enjoys collecting sarees and revealed about her most treasured piece.
The actress said: “Over the years, my collection has blossomed, showcasing a diverse array of styles, fabrics, and designs from various regions of India. Each saree in my collection is a cherished souvenir, representing not only the craftsmanship of its origin but also the memories of my journey.”
For Shubhangi, one of the most treasured pieces in her saree collection is a beautiful silk saree that her mother gifted her.
“On one my birthday she pulled out a beautifully wrapped package from her wardrobe. As I carefully unwrapped it, the first thing I noticed was the brilliant burst of colour — a deep, rich purple with intricate gold borders. My eyes widened in amazement as I took in the beauty of the saree. It was a Kanjeevaram silk, known for its durability and exquisite craftsmanship, traditionally handwoven in Tamil Nadu,” she said.
She further shared: “Over the years, this saree has become my go-to for special occasions. Each time I drape it, I am reminded of my mother’s stories, her laughter, and the wisdom she has imparted to me.”
The ‘Kasturi’ actress loves experimenting with different types of sarees, from the classic Kanjeevaram and Banarasi silks to the vibrant Bandhani and elegant Chanderi.
“My wardrobe is now a colourful gallery of exquisite sarees, each with its own distinct charm. Among my favourites are the intricately woven Patola saree from Gujarat, the graceful Pochampally Ikat from Telangana, and the rich, opulent Paithani from Maharashtra. Whether I’m dressing up for a festive occasion, a family gathering, or a special event, choosing the perfect saree is always a delightful experience,” she added.
‘Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai’ airs on &TV.
Divya Khossla reveals ‘Savi’ is modern version of the Sati-Savitri story
Mumbai– Actress Divya Khossla, who stars as a protagonist in the upcoming film ‘Savi’, has said that the film is a modern take on ‘Sati Savitri’.
In ‘Savi’, she essays the role of a housewife, who goes to any length to save her family and carries out a prison break with the help of Anil Kapoor’s character to take her husband out of the prison given that there’s a threat to her husband’s life in the jail.
The actress attended the trailer launch of her film on Tuesday along with director Abhinay Deo and producer Mukesh Bhatt at a multiplex in the Andheri area of Mumbai.
Talking to the media at the multiplex, the actress said: “‘Savi’ is a modernised version of Sati Savitri. In that story, Savitri brings her husband back from Yamraj. In this film, Savi, being a housewife, goes to the edge of the world to save her husband and her family.”
The actress also spoke about women not getting their due for the kind of labour they carry out.
Talking about the subject of women not being recognised for their work and the unpaid labour of a housewife, Divya said: “It’s not just a housewife. If a man goes out for a job, a woman nurtures their kids and takes care of the house in every possible way. If a man is lauded for being ambitious then why not women? Women too have dreams and aspirations. A woman’s efforts shouldn’t be undermined.”
‘Savi’ is set to release in cinemas on May 31.
