Why did Amir Khan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan never work together?

 

1. Aishwarya never worked with Aamir Khan in a film except very brief appearance in Mela (2000). In that film Aishwarya appeared at last minutes of the film to pair with Aamir Khan's brother Faisal Khan.

1. She was not paired with Aamir in any film but there were several attempts to cast them together. Bollywood director Yash Chopra wanted to launch Aishwarya Rai in his film Darr (1993) with Aamir Khan and Sunny Deol. Yash Chopra also screen tested Aishwarya for Juhi Chawla's Kiran role but later Aamir Khan and Aishwarya Rai both were dropped from the film and Shah Rukh Khan and Juhi Chawla were finally cast. Aishwarya was more interested to join Miss India pageant than doing film. So Yash Chopra decided to work with her some years later after her Miss India pageant. Unfortunately she lost Miss India trophy to Sushmita Sen and went to Miss World competition instead of Miss Universe competition. During that time Miss World was secondary to Miss Universe.

1. Many filmmakers tried their best to launch Aishwarya Rai in film industry but couldn't succeed. Mani Ratnam wanted her for Madhoo's role in Roja, Manisha’s role in Bombay, Shankar wanted her for Manisha's role in Tamil film Indian but she refused all of them for modelling career. She was extremely popular model at that time. She infact got her first breakthrough in modeling career with the famous Pepsi Ad with Aamir Khan himself and Mahima Choudhry.

1. Director Dharmesh Darshan approached her for Karishma's role in Raja Hindustani opposite Aamir Khan but again she refused to do it for her Miss World commitments. She was so much into ramp fashion modeling and TV ads. Later Dharmesh signed Karishma Kapoor.

1. Aamir Khan and Aishwarya again were supposed to act in Indra Kumar's Mann but Aishwarya was busy shooting for Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam at that time. So she refused to do it.

1. After several failed atrempts to bring Aamir and Aishwarya together they were so close to act in Ketan Mehta's Mangal Pandey- The Rising. Again Aishwarya Rai backed out of the film at last moment on financial conflicts with the director Ketan Mehta. So they again couldn't do the film. Aishwarya was supposed to play Ameesha Patel's role.

1. When Aishwarya refused so many films with Aamir Khan then the actor decided not to work with her in any film. Infact producer Aditya Chopra wanted Aishwarya opposite Aamir in Kunal Kohli’s Fanaa but Aamir refused to work with her and suggested Kajol's name to Aditya Chopra.

1. Aamir Khan and Aishwarya did a live concert and Pepsi and Coca Cola ad together but never did any film together except Mela where Aishwarya did only 2 minute cameo.

Why did not Shahrukh Khan and Kadar Khan work together?

 Shahrukh Khan and Kader Khan never worked together. Kader Khan had a cameo in “Oh Darling Yeh Hai India”, as one of the bidders.

Though they were in the same location for a scene they did not had a dialogue exchange.

The main reason for their non-collabration was that their peak careers didn't perfectly overlap. During the initial stages, Shahrukh gained fame as an anti-hero followed by a romantic hero. At that time Kader Khan had just stepped out from villainous roles and was on his comedy streak especially with Govinda and David Dhawan.

Besides this, their preferred teams were different too. Kader Khan worked extensively with David Dhavan at that time while Shahrukh’s major collabrations were with Yash Chopra and Karan Johar.

Post - 2000s Kader Khan also had significant health issues which was later followed with a knee operation and wheel chair dependency which limited his participation in films.

So there was no professional conflicts between the two. The main reasons for their non-collabration was differences in their career timelines, lack of suitable opportunities and natural divergence of their individual film trajectories.

How do deep sea oil rigs work?

 

The sea is a big thing.

It does not want to be tamed.

For this the deep water rig does not sit on legs. It floats. It is a great steel island thing-It is held in place by nothing but fire and computers. It has thrusters on its belly. They fight the wind, the current, every second of every day, to stay over one spot on the dark seabed.

From there, a drill string, miles long, is sent down into the muck - The bit at its tip grinds through rock - There is a bigger pipe, the marine riser — This brings the broken earth back up but, the meanest thing sits on the seafloor - The blowout preventer. Basically a stack of steel valves a hundred tons heavy - Its only job is to wait for the deep pressure to surge, that's it.

Great hydraulic rams will slam shut if the preventer does its job.

The thing is mean enough to shear the drill pipe-in half and kill the well. If you want to pull fire from the deep, this is how they do it-With computers, and a very big knife, cheers.

What are mutual funds? How do they work?

 

mutual fund is like a big money pool where many people invest together. This money is managed by a professional called a fund manager, who invests it in stocks, bonds, gold, or other assets depending on the fund’s goal.

How Do They Work?

1. You put your money into a mutual fund.
2. The fund manager takes care of where to invest it.
3. The profits (or losses) are shared among all investors based on how much they’ve invested.

So basically, you don’t have to worry about picking the right stocks or bonds yourself the expert does that for you.

Let’s understand with a Good Example

Imagine you and 9 friends each have ₹1,000 and want to try different flavors of expensive ice cream from around the world. But each scoop costs ₹10,000!

So, you all pool your ₹1,000 into one big pot = ₹10,000 total.

You then hire an ice cream expert (let’s call them the Fund Manager 😄) to buy the best combination of ice cream scoops that everyone can enjoy.

• If the expert picks good flavors that increase in value (maybe rare flavors), everyone gets a share of the profit.
• If not, the value goes down, and you may get less than ₹1,000 when you take your money out.

That’s exactly how a mutual fund works!
