He tickles our funny bone in every film he is a part of, and he’s one of those Bollywood actors who have tried their hand with different shades of comedy. But that hasn’t held this actor back from juggling the genre of drama. He a played a creepy villain in Ek Villain and chilled the audience. Post which, he debuted in the Marathi film industry with Lai Bhaari and it was his first commercial blockbuster. Riteish Deshmukh has risen, fallen and risen again, just to prove there is much more to him. Shravan Shah discovers what goes on in the head of this talented powerhouse, to make every comedy a laugh riot.
Is it good, or stressful, being a part of a popular franchise like Housefull 3?
It feels great being part of a film that comes every two three years and which has build its own credibility around it. When people enquire about when its next part is coming, you know that they want to see those characters again, they want that combination again, to enjoy and relive in a different zone.
Comedy is a genre not all can pull off, but when you are a part of it, the audience knows that they will surely have a good time. Is it a big responsibility when the audience depends on your performance in your film? How does it feel?
Comedy is a genre that made me survive in this industry, it gave me that life span to live all my dreams. In terms of - to perform, to act with people I idolise, to travel the world. Also, it helped me overcome certain genres that failed. For example, Aladdin didn’t work. It was my big film; it is still close to my heart.
Raan was a film I really enjoyed, but that didn’t work. I loved the film Naach, but unfortunately, that film too didn’t work. As genres go, these were all non-comedies. But then, my comedies kept working on the side. Then came a time when I got Ek Villain and Lai Bhaari back-to-back. Both the films were from different genres; I had to survive all these years to get these two films. Thanks to comedy, it gave me the opportunity to do a thriller and a commercial film.
You were much appreciated in Ek Villain. Will we see you do more such meaty roles?

The Truths and Distortions of Ruby Franke -The Mormon mother of six built a devoted following by broadcasting her family's wholesome life on YouTube. How did she end up abusing her children?
In 2015, Ruby Franke, a 32-year-old Mormon woman in Utah, became another parent sharing her family’s life on YouTube. The first video on her now-defunct channel, 8 Passengers, begins with old footage of her standing in a modest kitchen, her five children gathered around in anticipation as she cuts into a cake to reveal the gender of her sixth child. The video jumps to a scene at the hospital shortly after her new daughter’s birth. Resting in bed, Ruby cradles the baby and her youngest son, a serious-faced 3-year-old boy in blue overalls. “Can you show me where her nose is?” she asks him as he points. “Where’s her eyes?” When an elder son reports that the camera is almost out of battery, Ruby replies softly, “Go ahead, turn it off. That’s okay.”

623 Minutes With ...Dr. Thaïs Aliabadi - The Beverly Hills OB/GYN who delivers Kardashian and Bieber babies.
The Aliabadi formula has become very popular in Los Angeles of late. Aliabadi is big on preventive care. She uses the MyRisk genetic test, a tool that weighs personal and family history to calculate a patient’s risk for hereditary cancers; she listens to her patients carefully for signs of endometriosis and PCOS; and she assesses the ideal time to freeze eggs. Earlier this year, Olivia Munn credited Aliabadi with saving her life when those tests helped catch her breast cancer. When asked in an interview what her favorite thing about L.A. is, Rihanna said simply, “My gynecologist.” Aliabadi sees Olivia Culpo, members of various royal families, and the entire Kardashian-Jenner clan; she advised SZA to remove her dangerous breast implants and delivered Emma Roberts’s baby and, a month ago, Justin and Hailey Bieber’s son, Jack Blues.
