She was thrilled. “I was surprised when I heard that Mr. Chan had sent across a gift for me. I couldn’t meet him as I was still in India then shooting for ‘Bala’. But when I made it to Beijing, I was handed over a parcel from him. It was such a kind gesture from his end to think of sending me a thoughtful gift. “As kids, we have grown up seeing his movies and I personally have been a fan of his work. He’s such an icon and a legend globally and I do hope to meet him in person soon,” Yami said. Yami and Hrithik Roshan were in Beijing recently, and received an overwhelm- ing response from all their fans and the audiences. Hrithik had met Chan, and had posted photographs of their meeting on social media. Will Not Botox - Mini Mathur MUMBAI: Actress Mini Mathur gave a beitting reply to a so- cial media troll, who asked her to consider getting botox done. The troll com- mented on Mini’s web show “Mind The Malhotras”, which is out on Amazon Prime Video. “Story of every couple! ‘Mind The Malhotras’ in Prime Video knocks it out of the park. Great series, total humour. Kudos to Mini Mathur, Cyrus Sahukar, Denzil Smith... PS: Ms. Mathur, it’s botox time.” Mini replied: “Thank you...and no. I will not use botox. It’s time the world got comfortable with the fact that women age, their talent does not. Be happy that feisty lead roles are being written for women in their 40s. Would you have rather a 20-year-old play- ing a 40-year-old Shefali.” Based on Israeli comedy “La Famiglia”, “Mind The Malhotras” follows the lives of a perfectly nor- mal suburban family with many reasons to be happy, and even more reasons to go for therapy.
