*Poonam Dhillon Reveals the Original Clap Pattern Behind Her Iconic Song ‘Tu Tu Hai Wahi’ from Yeh Vaada Raha on Tum Ho Naa* *11th June 2026, Mumbai:* The upcoming episode of Sony Entertainment Television’s *Tum Ho Naa – Ghar Ki Superstar* is set to take viewers on a nostalgic trip down memory lane as veteran actress Poonam Dhillon revisits one of the most cherished songs from her film career. What began as host *Rajeev Khandelwal* fondly humming the iconic track soon turned into a delightful conversation about the song’s signature clap sequence, the memories attached to it, and her on-screen chemistry with the late *Rishi Kapoor* . As Rajeev Khandelwal sang a few lines from the song, Poonam Dhillon was quick to point out that the famous clap pattern was not being performed correctly. Correcting him with a smile, she said, _“Nahi nahi nahi, galat kiya. Taali aise nahi hai.”_ Intrigued, Rajeev Khandelwal immediately asked her to demonstrate the original version. (“No, no, no, that's not right. That's not how you clap.”) Sharing a behind-the-scenes detail from the song, Poonam Dhillon explained, _“Galat hai yeh. Original film mein jo taali thi, woh Chintu ji aur humne jo ki thi woh alag type ki taali thi.”_ (“This is incorrect. The clap in the original film was different—the one that Chintu ji and I did was a different kind of clap.”) Recreating the memorable sequence on stage, she added, _“Woh tha... ‘Mil jaaye is tarah...’ (Taali pattern) ‘Tata tata tata...’ Aisa. Chaar taali. Paanch is tarah nahi. Ulta nahi. One, two and three. Okay... ‘Mil jaaye is tarah... tata tata tata...’”_ (“It went like this... ‘Mil Jaaye Is Tarah...’ (clap pattern) ‘Tata tata tata...’ Like that. Four claps. Not five like this. Not the other way around. One, two, and three. Okay... ‘Mil Jaaye Is Tarah... tata tata tata...’” (“It went like this... ‘Mil Jaaye Is Tarah...’ (clap pattern) ‘Tata tata tata...’ Like that. Four claps. Not five like this. Not the other way around. One, two, and three. Okay... ‘Mil Jaaye Is Tarah... tata tata tata...’”) Recalling the energy of the song, Poonam Dhillon further shared, _“Bahut hi khush gaana tha. Itna fast tha ki hum logon ko bhi sharp rehna padta tha. Logon ne zyada tar uska aasaan tareeka dhoondh liya aur bas aise hi kar dete the.”_ (“It was a very cheerful song. It was so fast-paced that even we had to stay sharp. Most people found an easier way to do it and would just do it like that.”) The conversation soon shifted to her late co-star Rishi Kapoor, fondly known as Chintu Ji. Speaking about his effortless charm and screen presence, Poonam Dhillon said, _“Haan, rehearsal sab karte the. Aapko dekh kar kabhi lagta tha ki aap log rehearsal karte the? Yeh ‘tak tak tak tak’ kaise seekh liya? Yeh toh seekh liya. Uske baad jo gaana chalta hai, woh Chintu ji... he was king of romance. Unka expression, unka andaaz...”_ (“Yes, of course, we rehearsed everything. Did it ever seem to you that we didn’t rehearse? How else would we have learned the ‘tak tak tak tak’ sequence? We mastered that first. And after that, when the song begins, Chintu ji... he was the king of romance. His expressions, his style, everything was simply unmatched.”) Echoing her sentiments, Rajeev Khandelwal added, _“aaj tak maine koi aisa actor nahi dekha jo unki tarah gaanon par react kar sake.”_ (“To this day, I haven’t seen any actor who can react to songs the way he did.”) The heartwarming exchange offered viewers a rare glimpse into the making of a beloved Bollywood classic while celebrating the enduring legacy of Poonam Dhillon and Rishi Kapoor, whose timeless on-screen pairing is still remembered fondly by audiences today. _*Watch Tum Ho Naa Ghar Ki Superstar, hosted by Rajeev Khandelwal, every Monday to Friday at 9 PM only on Sony Entertainment Television and Sony LIV*_

*“Ladkiyon ka na toh apna maika hota hai, na sasural hota hai”: Rajeev Khandelwal’s Heart-Wrenching Reflection on Women's Sacrifices on ‘Tum Ho Naa’* *11th June 2026, Mumbai:* In the upcoming episode of ‘ *Tum Ho Naa – Ghar Ki Superstar* ’, charismatic host *Rajeev Khandelwal* guides a deeply moving conversation that sheds light on the subtle societal conditioning and systemic domestic challenges that women continuously navigate, regardless of their background. The episode takes an emotional turn as Mumbai resident Nisha shares the profound struggles and identity loss she experienced after marriage. Nisha worked dynamically as an event manager but immediately quit her career upon her husband’s request. She opened up about the subsequent emotional toll of being a full-time homemaker and how the lack of validation deeply affected her self-worth. Reflecting on the painful turning point in her domestic life, Nisha shared her core struggle she said _“Kabhi bhi kuch arguments hote hai, jhagde hote hai, so he is like, 'Pura din kya karti hai? Tune life mai kya achieve kiya hai?' Hamesha mujhe yahi sune milta tha. Toh abhi mujhe aisa hai ki mujhe ab sirf kuch na kuch karna hai, aage badna hai aur rukna nahi hai. And I know he will always support me.”__ Stepping in with his balanced perspective, host Rajeev Khandelwal gently advocated for domestic understanding, noting, _“Kabhi kabhi shayad hum kuch keh jaate hai, which we don’t mean it.”_ Nisha's husband openly acknowledged his shortcomings, admitting that it constantly stung him to realize his wife had sacrificed her own growth, ambitions, and her dream of owning a home in Mumbai to fuel his career. Validating the unseen labor of millions of women, Rajeev Khandelwal delivered a powerful statement that resonated deeply with everyone by stating _“Aksar suna hai hamne, ki jo mahilae job nahi karti, vo aksar kehti hai ki mujhe apne paise kamani hai. Jab ki voh jaanti hai ki ghar unhone banaya hai, voh janti hai ki parivar unki wajah se khada hai.”_ Nisha further explained how the arrival of her daughter, Tiara, just two years after marriage completely shifted her focus toward her child, husband, and family. She revealed that before marriage, her true dreams lay in the creative arts specifically acting, singing, and dancing and she had always aspired to be on television. Deeply moved by her aspirations, Rajeev Khandelwal observed the complex reality of a woman's displaced identity, stating _“Yaha khada hokar sunta hu main, toh kabhi kabhi lagta hai, ki agar soche toh, ladkiyon ka na toh apna maika hota hai, na sasural hota hai. Dono mai se kuch bhi unka apna nahi hota.”_ Rajeev beautifully articulated the necessity of respecting a woman's individual identity within a marriage, warning that any household that bruises a woman's self-respect cannot remain truly happy. He stated _“Agar aap soche aur samjhe iss baat ko, ki mahila jo hai, voh sab kuch nyochavar kar deti hai. Apne sapne sab bhula deti hai. Of course voh sapne jeevit rehte hai. Shayad, thodi si unki expectation rehti hai, ki iss sacrifice ki kadar kare. Unhe iss baat ka ehsaas kabhi na hone de ki, aap kisi bhi mayne mai, lowest feel kare. Kyunki kahi na kahi, unka bhi apni ek pehchan hoti hai. Jisse jab jab thes pahuchi hai, toh voh shayad voh nahi reh pata. Mahila ki jo pehchan hai, shayad vo uske saath mai compromise nahi kar sakti. Jo karti hai, voh parivar bahut sukhi nahi rehta.”_ The emotionally charged episode then takes a celebratory turn when Nisha’s husband surprises her on stage with an official HR offer letter from his own firm. Through Rajeev Khandelwal’s insightful anchoring, Nisha’s journey emerges as a beautiful reminder that it is never too late to reclaim your identity and chase your dreams. *Watch Tum Ho Naa – Ghar Ki Superstar, hosted by Rajeev Khandelwal, every Monday to Friday at 9 PM only on Sony Entertainment Television and Sony LIV.*

The Narmada Story Director Zaigham Imam, meets Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav; the film celebrates the state’s talent, women in policing, and cultural heritage. Bhopal, 10 Jun 2026: The Director of the upcoming Hindi feature film The Narmada Story , Director Zaigham Imam, met the Hon’ble Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh, Dr. Mohan Yadav, and shared insights about the film’s vision, production journey and its deep connection with the state. The meeting was attended by the film’s director Zaigham Imam along with actor Sharad Singh, who briefed the Chief Minister about the story, its themes and the extensive contribution of Madhya Pradesh to the project. Shot entirely in Madhya Pradesh, The Narmada Story showcases the state not merely as a backdrop but as an integral part of the narrative. From its landscapes and towns to its people and culture, the film captures the essence of the region with authenticity. In a significant move, the makers have also cast several local artists from Madhya Pradesh in important supporting and character roles, providing a platform for homegrown talent alongside established performers. The film features National Award-winning actor Raghubir Yadav, Mukesh Tiwari, Ishteyak Khan, Sadanand Patil, and IPS officer-turned-actor Simala Prasad, all of whom trace their roots to different cities of Madhya Pradesh. The film also holds special emotional significance as it marks the final screen appearance of legendary theatre personality Alok Chatterjee, one of the most respected names in Madhya Pradesh’s cultural and performing arts landscape. The Narmada Story stands apart for several reasons. It is perhaps one of the first mainstream Hindi films to place such strong emphasis on artists from Madhya Pradesh across its cast. The film also retains the real names of cities and locations from the state, adding an uncommon level of realism to the storytelling. Another notable aspect is its portrayal of a tribal woman police officer in a powerful central role—an uncommon representation in mainstream Indian cinema. Beyond its crime-thriller narrative, the film is also a tribute to the courage, commitment and resilience of women police officers in Madhya Pradesh. Through its protagonist, the story highlights the challenges and responsibilities faced by women in uniform while remaining rooted in human emotions and social realities. The film additionally opens a conversation around the preservation of the sacred Narmada River, often referred to as the lifeline of Madhya Pradesh. By weaving environmental and social concerns into its narrative, the film aims to create awareness while remaining engaging and entertaining. Speaking about the meeting, director Zaigham Imam said: “I am deeply grateful to Hon’ble Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav ji for taking the time to meet us and for encouraging our efforts. Filming in Madhya Pradesh has been a wonderful experience. The state is a treasure trove of art, culture and heritage, while also emerging as a leader in modern development and industry. We truly believe that the beauty, diversity and spirit of Madhya Pradesh have been captured magnificently in our film. Through The Narmada Story, audiences across the country will get an opportunity to witness the state’s richness and character on the big screen.” The makers believe that The Narmada Story will not only entertain audiences but also showcase Madhya Pradesh’s artistic strength, cultural identity and social spirit to viewers across India.
