Netizens React To Salman Khan’s Post

Actors Gaurav Khanna and Shagun Sharma recently participated in Rohit Shetty-hosted Khatron Ke Khiladi 15.

After a two-year hiatus, Khatron Ke Khiladi is making a comeback with its 15th season. Hosted by Rohit Shetty, the stunt-based reality show promises its toughest edition yet, featuring more challenging tasks than ever before. Filming has already wrapped up in Cape Town, South Africa. This season will also introduce a fresh twist by bringing together returning contestants and first-time participants.

Shagun Sharma opens up about her experience

Actor Shagun Sharma, who is also part of Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2, shared her experience on the stunt show. In an interview with Filmygyan, she revealed that he is one contestant she would prefer not to meet again because of the way he treated her during the shoot. She said, “I think Gaurav Khanna is one person I would not want to meet.”

Shagun alleged that Gaurav frequently targeted her during tasks. She explained, “He was someone jinhone mujhe bhot bully kiya hai (who bullied me a lot). Let’s say, for example, if five people performed a task and four of them aborted it, out of those four, he would pick on me the most. He would say, ‘Yeh to chod deti hai,’ ‘She is weak,’ and ‘Don’t do this’. I think reality space mein you do become a different version of yourself. So, I wouldn’t say ki shayad wo real mein ekdum hi waise hain jaise unhone waha behave kara ha (I don’t know whether he is the same in real life too).”

Salman Khan Wins Big As Delhi High Court Orders Immediate Takedown Of ‘Kala Hiran’ Teaser, Upholds His Personality Rights.

In a major legal victory for Salman Khan, the Delhi High Court has ordered the immediate removal of the teaser and related promotional content of the upcoming film Kala Hiran: The Battle for Legacy, observing that the material prima facie violates the superstar’s personality rights and could seriously harm his reputation.

Justice Jyoti Singh, while passing the interim order on July 27, directed the filmmakers to take down the teaser and associated online posts after Salman objected to the unauthorised use of his persona. The court held that the makers could not commercially exploit the actor’s name, mannerisms, or other distinctive attributes without his consent.

The court also noted that the teaser appears to draw references to incidents connected to the actor’s pending appeal in the 1998 blackbuck poaching case and allegedly attributes acts of witness intimidation and interference with the investigation. According to the court, such portrayals could cause irreparable damage to Salman’s goodwill and reputation, especially given the widespread reach and permanence of digital platforms.

Isha Rikhi took to her Instagram handle and wrote, “There are battles that leave no visible scars. For a long time, I remained silent because I was afraid.

It was survival.”

After his last blog went viral, Amitabh Bachchan clarified that he wasn’t referring to his health. It was about Argentina and Lionel Messi.

Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan made everyone worry about his health when he dropped a blog post talking of hospital admission, surgery and ICU. Now, he has revealed that his post was misunderstood and it wasn’t about him but about Argentina’s loss against Spain at the FIFA World Cup.

Amitabh Bachchan reveals he is absolutely fine

After shocking his fans, Amitabh Bachchan has put an end to widespread speculation regarding his health. He clarified that a recent, cryptic blog post about a hospital stay and surgery was heavily misinterpreted.

The 83-year-old actor assured fans that he is “absolutely fine…so far” and did not undergo any medical procedure. Instead, he revealed that his blog was for Argentina’s defeat and Lionel Messi following the FIFA World Cup final.

Addressing the panic, Big B clarified, “I am fine. I did not undergo surgery. It is a misunderstood post.” He further told Variety India, “I was giving an example that the period after a surgery or ICU, the most difficult time is when you come home and have to deal with your damaged condition. So, when a champion loses, the most difficult time is dealing with yourself in its aftermath.”

He explicitly noted that his musings were directed at Argentina’s loss. “I was referring to Argentina’s loss and Messi as a champion that lost. People have assumed it’s a reference to me,” the veteran actor added.

For the unversed, the confusion began when the veteran actor took to his official blog to pen a note. The post read, “… in Hospital in a surgery and in the ICU, under the care of proficient Doctors and medical Staff .. a discharge .. and a homecoming .. This homecoming period is the most difficult phase .. physically, psychologically and practically.”

Actors and filmmakers backed the CJP’s Sansad Chalo protest in Delhi and condemned the use of force against peaceful marchers. Their posts turned attention to student anxiety, access to education and demands for accountability.

Actors Bhumi Pednekar, Huma Qureshi and Nandita Das, along with screenwriter Sutapa Sikdar, voiced support for peaceful protesters after the Cockroach Janata Party’s (CJP) ‘Sansad Chalo’ protest in Delhi on Monday. Their reactions came amid visuals of police action against demonstrators, with the film fraternity calling for dialogue and accountability while raising concerns about education, access and systemic issues affecting students.

In a detailed post shared on Instagram, Bhumi Pednekar said violence could not be the answer and urged that the focus remain on the students affected by gaps in the education system.

“Violence is not the answer,” she wrote, referring to the visuals from the day. Bhumi said the country owed it to its youth to ensure that the movement did not turn violent or lose sight of its purpose, adding that democracies were built on dialogue.

Bhumi also called for reform in the education system, listing paper leaks, examination failures, unequal access, teacher shortages and the pressure faced by students as issues that needed to be addressed.

She acknowledged the progress made in the education sector in recent years, including the increase in the number of universities and seats, but said students whose futures had been put at risk deserved answers. “While I may not agree with everything that has been said at the protest, I strongly believe that meaningful dialogue is where reform begins,” she wrote. “This has to remain about our students.”

Actor Huma Qureshi said the visuals from the protest would stay with her “for a very long time”. She said seeing peaceful protesters met with “such brute force and lathis” had left her with “a deep sense of sadness”.

Huma said the situation could have been handled with more patience, listening and dialogue. “People have elected the government and today, we all need to ask questions and expect accountability (sic),” she wrote.

She added that India was a large and diverse country and that while citizens might not agree on every issue, “every citizen deserves to be heard with dignity before force becomes the response”.

Sutapa Sikdar’s post focused on the backgrounds of those participating in the protest. She wrote that many of them were students who had arrived “with 20 rupees in their pocket” and “full of hope” while seeking accountability.

She added many of the protesters were not “rich influential papas’ babies and babas” and that “no one came to save them”. She wrote that they had stood their ground, as they perhaps had all their lives, referring to the struggles involved in “waiting for buses, trains, admission, leaks”.

She also pointed out that “not a single child of any minister was there”. Calling the events heartbreaking, she wrote, “sab yaad rakha jayega” and described what happened as “unforgivable”.

Nandita Das said she stood in solidarity with those who believed democracy was strengthened when people could gather, speak, listen and be heard. “Constructive dissent is what keeps a democracy alive,” she wrote, adding that she was “in spirit with all those marching peacefully in Delhi for the India we believe in”.

The protest, held on the opening day of Parliament’s Monsoon Session, was organised to demand education reforms and seek the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over alleged irregularities in the NEET examination. As the march moved towards Parliament, clashes broke out between protesters and security forces.

On Thursday, Aamir Khan closed the London Indian Film Festival with a special appearance for the screening of Lagaan, where he was asked about Sonam Wangchuk.

Actor Aamir Khan has finally broken his silence on educator and activist Sonam Wangchuk’s indefinite hunger strike. The actor addressed the long-standing belief that his character Rancho in 3 Idiots was based on Sonam Wangchuk, clarifying that this was not the case. However, Aamir said he is deeply concerned about Sonam Wangchuk’s health and expressed hope that he would call off his fast soon.

Aamir Khan speaks up

On Thursday, Aamir closed the London Indian Film Festival with a special appearance for the screening of Lagaan. The film was showcased as LIFF’s closing‑night highlight, with Aamir attending a post‑screening conversation reflecting on the film’s legacy 25 years after release. The actor also answered audience questions during the session.

During the conversation, Aamir was asked about Sonam Wangchuk, whose life is widely believed to have inspired his character, Rancho, in the blockbuster 3 Idiots. The discussion also touched upon Sonam Wangchuk’s ongoing indefinite hunger strike, with the actor being asked to share his thoughts on the issue.

Talking about Sonam Wangchuk inspiring 3 Idiots, Aamir said, “No, that is not true actually. That is a misconception. I didn’t know about Mr Sonam at that time when we were doing the film, 3 Idiots. I saw a video of Chatur just recently, and he said that. But he is wrong. Maybe that is what Chatur was thinking, but I want to tell you that neither Raju nor Abhijat (Rajkumar Hirani or Abhijat Joshi), who are the two writers, we didn’t know about Mr Sonam. However, what Mr Sonam is doing is good work in any case. He doesn’t have to be based on a character of 3 idiots for us to respect him and the work that he does. I wanted to share this from a factual point of view”

Following this, Aamir was asked about the growing concerns surrounding Sonam Wangchuk’s health as he continues his indefinite hunger strike at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar.

“All of us are very concerned for his health and his life. We hope it ends well. All of us are hoping that he ends his fast,” Aamir said.

Dalljiet Kaur exclusively spoke to Pinkvilla and revealed how she has changed as an artist over time. The actress admitted that her personal trauma helped her in becoming a better artist.

Television actor Dalljiet Kaur is making headlines for beginning a new chapter in her life. In an exclusive interview with Pinkvilla, the actress opened up about her journey, ups and downs, heartbreaks, and much more. During the conversation, the actress revealed how her personal trauma transformed her as an artist and how she is able to approach scenes with a lot more clarity and confidence now than earlier.

Dalljiet Kaur referred to a popular saying and said, “Maine na ek saying suni thi ki jab aap bahut struggle se gujarte ho apni zindagi me, to aap ek better artist bante ho. Ye itni sahi baat hai. Pahle bhi mai ek artist thi, bahut sincere thi, lekin jab aap emotions se gujarte ho aur sudden jerks aapki life me aate hai jiske liye aap prepared nhi ho, phir aap usse jhujhte ho. Aapke emotional angles itne aap explore kar lete ho ki I think as an artist also, you change. Toh aaj jab mai same situation wale scene ko approach karti hu, my approachability is much more intense than what it could be.”

(I once heard a saying that going through significant struggles in life makes you a better artist. That is so true. I was an artist before, and very sincere too, but when you go through intense emotions and face sudden, unexpected upheavals—things you weren’t prepared for—and then grapple with them… you end up exploring so many emotional facets of yourself that, I believe, you transform as an artist. So, today, when I approach a scene involving such a situation, the depth and intensity I bring to it are far greater than what would have been possible otherwise.)

She further expressed, “It’s very unfortunate to say this. I am not saying anybody should go through this to become a good artist. Lekin ye sach baat hai. Jab sunti thi pahle to bahut hasti thi, but ye sach hai. (But it is true. I used to laugh a lot when I heard it back then, but it really is true.)”

Known for her versatility, S Janaki recorded over 48,000 songs in multiple languages, predominantly Kannada, Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam

Veteran playback singer S Janaki died at a private hospital here on Saturday due to age-related ailments, family sources said.

She was 88 years old.

According to sources, she developed breathing issues last night and was subsequently admitted to the hospital.

Known for her versatility, Janaki recorded over 48,000 songs in multiple languages, predominantly the South Indian languages of Kannada, Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam.

Over a career spanning six decades, she sang for films, albums, television and radio in about 20 Indian languages, including Hindi, Odia, Tulu, Urdu, Punjabi and Bengali.

Sharing the news on behalf of the family, her granddaughter Apsara Vydyula, in an Instagram post, said, “It is with profound sadness that I share the passing of my beloved grandmother and legendary singer, Smt S Janaki.” “She left us peacefully, surrounded by the love of her family. While our hearts are heavy, we are also filled with gratitude for the extraordinary life she lived and the immeasurable joy she brought to millions through her timeless music,” she said.

“To the world, she was an iconic voice whose songs became part of countless memories. To us, she was a loving grandmother whose warmth, humility, kindness and grace will remain with us forever. We kindly request that you respect our family’s privacy during this difficult time as we grieve and come to terms with this loss,” she said, thanking everyone for their love, prayers and understanding.

Janaki was born on April 23, 1938, in Pallapatla, Guntur, in Andhra Pradesh.

Fondly known as “Janaki amma” among her disciples and followers, she was regarded as the “Nightingale of South India”.

Janaki began her singing career with the Tamil film ‘Vidhiyin Vilayattu’ (1957) at the age of 19.

Though she was highly popular in other South Indian languages, Janaki is said to have sung the most songs in her career in Kannada.

Her duets with legends such as P B Srinivas, S P Balasubrahmanyam and Dr Rajkumar are considered evergreen hits.

Fans in Karnataka called her “Gaana Kogile”. She also sang in English, Japanese, German and Sinhala.

Janaki won four National Film Awards and 33 different state film awards.

She received an honorary doctorate from the University of Mysore, the Kalaimamani award from the Tamil Nadu government, and the Rajyotsava Prashasti from the Government of Karnataka.

In 2013, she refused to accept the Padma Bhushan, the third-highest civilian award of the Government of India, saying it came too late. Janaki had also expressed that she deserved the Bharat Ratna, the country’s highest civilian award, for her contributions to music.

Plain white or uncoloured sarees and a simple, elegant style remained her signature look for a long time, following the passing of her husband, V Ramprasad, in 1997.

Her son, Murali Krishna, passed away on January 22 this year.

Expressing shock over Janaki’s death, Chief Minister D K Shivakumar, in a post on X, said, “Through her golden voice, Janaki Amma had found a place in the hearts and homes of millions. With the demise of this multilingual singing legend, the world of music has fallen silent with the loss of one of its most melodious voices.” “A mentor who encouraged and nurtured many singers, and the very embodiment of simplicity, Janaki Amma’s unparalleled voice will remain immortal in the cultural heritage of Karnataka forever,” he added.

According to the chief minister’s office, Shivakumar spoke to Janaki’s family members over the phone and expressed his condolences.

He directed that the singer’s last rites be conducted with full state honours.

Minister Yathindra Siddaramaiah has been deputed to represent the Karnataka government at the funeral, it said.

Speaking to reporters in Mysuru, Yathindra Siddaramaiah said he had spoken to officials and family members, and that Janaki’s mortal remains would be placed at Maharaja’s College Grounds in Mysuru city on Sunday morning for the public to pay their last respects.

Rajpal Yadav Sentenced To 3 Months In Jail By Delhi High Court In Cheque Bounce Case

Actor Rajpal Yadav has landed in legal trouble after the Delhi High Court sentenced him to three months of simple imprisonment in a cheque bounce case. The court upheld his conviction, bringing a significant development in a legal battle that has been ongoing for several years.

According to reports, the case pertains to multiple dishonoured cheques issued in connection with a financial dispute involving M/s Murli Projects Pvt. Ltd. Rajpal had challenged the trial court’s order before the Delhi High Court, seeking relief from the conviction. However, the High Court dismissed his plea and upheld the earlier judgment, resulting in the three-month jail sentence.

The matter reportedly dates back to a financial transaction linked to a film project, after which several cheques issued towards repayment were allegedly dishonoured. This led to complaints being filed under the Negotiable Instruments Act, eventually culminating in the present verdict.

Rajpal’s legal team had previously sought relief from the court, and the actor had also secured interim bail during the proceedings after complying with certain conditions. However, with the High Court now affirming the conviction, the case has taken a decisive turn.

Aamir Khan first married Reena Dutta in 1986. The two parted ways in 2002. The actor later married filmmaker Kiran Rao in 2005. However, they also got separated in 2021.

Members of Bajrang Dal in Bihar’s Forbesganj area recently held a protest against Aamir Khan’s third marriage to Gauri Spratt. They burnt Bollywood actor’s effigy and accused him of practicing ‘love jihad’. During the protests, slogans like “Aamir Khan murdabad” and “Aamir Khan jihadi Bharat chodo” were also raised.

In a statement that Bajrang Dal leader Manoj Soni released, he said, “Aamir Khan lagataar Hindu behen betiyon ko shaadi racha kar ke line laga raha hai (Aamir Khan is repeatedly marrying Hindu women and daughters, effectively lining them up)” to insult the Hindu society.

Soni further claimed that Aamir Khan is working “to weaken the Hindus as part of a massive conspiracy.” He further threatened to teach Aamir Khan a lesson “if he does not stop such antics soon”.

“Shaadi karta hai Hindu beti se aur paida karta hai Taimuz, Afroz, Salman, kahan ka niyam hai bhai. Akhir unko Muslim samaj ke bahu beti se pyaar kyun nahi ho raha hai? Hindu beti se unko pyaar kyun ho raha hai (He marries a Hindu woman but names the children Taimur, Afroz, or Salman — what kind of rule is this? Why doesn’t he fall in love with the daughters or daughters-in-law of the Muslim community? Why does he only love Hindu women?),” Soni said in the video, as quoted by Siasat.

He also urged the courts and the government to take action against the actor, accusing him of trying to disrupt harmony in the country.

For the unversed, Aamir Khan first married Reena Dutta in 1986. The two parted ways in 2002. The actor later married filmmaker Kiran Rao in 2005. However, they also got separated in 2021. Aamir recently married Gauri Spratt at his Mumbai residence.

Saif Ali Khan Reveals He Turned Down A N*de Scene In Omkara: ‘There Were Too Many People On Set’

Nearly two decades after Omkara became one of Bollywood’s most celebrated films, Saif Ali Khan has shared an interesting behind-the-scenes story from the Vishal Bhardwaj directorial that fans have never heard before.

Reflecting on the film, Saif revealed that director Vishal Bhardwaj had once suggested that he perform a key scene completely nude. The actor admitted he found the idea creatively exciting but ultimately decided against it because he felt uncomfortable with the large number of people present on the set.

Recalling the moment, Saif said the sequence involved a long monologue in front of a mirror when Bhardwaj casually asked if he would consider doing it naked. While he appreciated the bold vision, he wasn’t confident enough at the time to go ahead with it.

In a light-hearted response, Saif jokingly told the filmmaker that he would do the scene only if Bhardwaj agreed to direct it while being naked himself. The director laughed off the suggestion, and the idea was eventually dropped.

Looking back today, Saif admitted he has no regrets about experimenting with such a scene and believes he would have approached it differently now. He said that if the shot had been filmed as a silhouette from behind, it could have looked visually striking. The actor added that they were trying to create something unconventional, and with experience, he now feels more open to taking such creative risks.

Satluj, a film based on the life and death of human rights activist Jaswant Singh Khalra, was removed from Zee5 two days after its release.

A day after Diljit Dosanjh-starrer Satluj was removed from OTT platform Zee5 in a sudden move, a new report has claimed that the Centre directed the streamer to do so, citing “security concerns” and “obligations” under IT Rules 2021. The film, based on the life and death of human rights activist Jaswant Singh Khalra, released on Friday and was removed from the platform on Sunday.

Why was Satluj removed?

A government official told the news agency PTI that the makers of Satluj had applied for CBFC certification in 2022 under its original title Panjab 95, but the CBFC did not accept the 127 cuts suggested and withheld its release. “They kept sitting on the suggested cuts and eventually released the movie quietly on OTT with a new title. OTT does not come under the CBFC’s jurisdiction. When the matter came to the government’s notice, Zee was asked to take the film down. The direction was given due to security concerns. The OTT platform was asked to follow the obligations under intermediary guidelines. If they want to release the film in theatres and OTT, they should follow the laid down norms,” the official told PTI.

Satluj was originally titled Panjab 95 and was stuck with the censors for more than three years before being released on Zee5 under the new title and without any cuts. Streaming platforms in India are not subject to the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) and are instead regulated under Part III of the Information Technology (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules, 2021.

Diljit Dosanjh reacts to the shadow ban

The Honey Trehan-directed film delves into the life of Jaswant Singh Khalra, who investigated the cremation of thousands of unidentified bodies in Punjab during a 10-year period from 1984 to 1994. He was abducted in 1995. In 2005, four Punjab Police personnel were convicted of his abduction and murder and sentenced to life imprisonment.

Diljit Dosanjh, who plays Khalra in the film, said on Monday that this was bound to happen. In an expansive session on Instagram Live from the US, where he is on tour, the actor expressed his anguish. “I had a feeling on Friday that something like this would happen. This was already on my mind. It is not something to be shocked about (the ban). I thought that it would be banned on Monday when the offices open. But I did not have an idea that it would happen on Sunday evening itself. We did not even promote the film, we released it just like that. If we had promoted it, it would not have lasted even two days. But I am satisfied that people have seen the film, it has reached them,” Diljit said in Punjabi.

The actor seemed to urge fans to download the film and watch it as he added, “It was very important that it should reach you and that has happened…I am thankful that what we wanted to say and how we wanted to say it have been conveyed. It is your film, and you can watch it the way you want.”

Release Trouble For Salman Khan’s Maatrubhumi As CBFC Withholds Certificate

Salman Khan’s much-awaited war drama Maatrubhumi has reportedly hit another roadblock ahead of its theatrical release. The film, which was earlier titled Battle of Galwan, is now facing fresh uncertainty after the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) reportedly withheld its clearance certificate despite the makers changing the title.

According to reports, the film was initially scheduled for an Eid release on April 17 before being pushed to the Independence Day weekend in August. However, with the certification process still pending, the latest development has cast serious doubts over whether the Salman Khan-starrer will be able to arrive in theatres as planned.

Directed by Apoorva Lakhia and backed by Salman Khan Films, Maatrubhumi is inspired by the 2020 Galwan Valley clash between Indian and Chinese troops. Salman essays the role of the late Colonel Santosh Babu, who led the 16 Bihar Regiment during the conflict. The film also stars Chitrangda Singh, Abhilash Chaudhary and Ankur Bhatia in key roles, while the music has been composed by Himesh Reshammiya.

The project had already undergone significant changes before reaching the certification stage. Apart from renaming the film from Battle of Galwan to Maatrubhumi, reports suggest the makers made revisions keeping in mind the sensitive subject matter. Despite these efforts, the CBFC has reportedly not issued the clearance certificate so far. The exact reason behind the delay has not been officially disclosed.

The much-awaited union of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce has finally happened. Soon after their wedlock, huge billboards in NYC read ‘JUST&T MARRIED’.

It’s official! The biggest romance in music and sports has come together in what many are already calling ‘America’s Royal Wedding.’ On Friday evening, July 3, 2026, pop icon Taylor Swift and three-time Super Bowl champion Travis Kelce officially tied the knot in an ultra-private, star-studded ceremony at New York City’s iconic Madison Square Garden.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are married!

The union of lovers Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce was awaited by many. Well, the monumental event took over Manhattan, drawing a massive guest list of Hollywood A-listers, hit musicians, and NFL royalty.

Reports indicate that around 7:20 PM local time, the massive digital billboards outside New York City’s iconic Madison Square Garden flashed a glowing pink-and-purple message to the fans waiting outside. It read, “JUST&T MARRIED!”

Shortly after, the top of the Empire State Building began twinkling in sapphire blue. Some suggest that it’s the bride’s something blue. In a surprising move, the ceremony was officially officiated by comedy legend Adam Sandler, a close friend of the couple.

According to Rolling Stone, Swift’s younger brother, Austin Swift, served as her Man of Honor while the groom’s brother, Jason Kelce, stood beside him as Best Man.

With a strict phone ban in place to ensure ultimate privacy for the guests, a line of heavily tinted black SUVs pulled into a massive white security tent on West 31st Street.

Among the high-profile attendees spotted arriving for the weekend’s festivities were Taylor’s longtime best friend Selena Gomez, Dakota Johnson, Ed Sheeran, Jennifer Lopez, Bradley Cooper, Emma Stone and Gigi Hadid. NFL stars including Patrick Mahomes, George Kittle, and Micah Parsons were also expected.

As reported, Stevie Nicks and country legend Tim McGraw were about to take over the stage for special performances during the reception.

Aamir Khan To Tie The Knot With Gauri Spratt On July 5? Intimate Wedding Planned At Mumbai Residence

Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan is reportedly all set to begin a new chapter in his personal life. The actor is expected to marry his longtime partner Gauri Spratt on July 5 in an intimate ceremony at his Mumbai residence, according to multiple reports.

Unlike lavish celebrity weddings, the couple has reportedly opted for a low-key registered marriage, with only close family members and a handful of friends in attendance. Around 150 guests are expected to be present, including relatives travelling from overseas to celebrate the occasion. Reports also suggest that there will be no grand reception, with the couple choosing to keep the celebrations private and meaningful.

One of the most heartwarming aspects of the wedding is expected to be the involvement of the couple’s children. Sources claim that the children from Aamir and Gauri’s previous relationships will actively participate in the ceremony, making the day even more special for the families.

Wedding rumours surrounding the couple gained momentum after Aamir recently confirmed that the reports about his marriage were indeed true. The actor had publicly introduced Gauri as his partner earlier this year, and the couple has since kept a relatively low profile while preparing for their big day.

Ketan Agarwal Murder Case: Was Siya Goyal’s Mother Unaware Of Her Daughter’s Secret Relationship? Fresh Claims Raise Questions

The investigation into the shocking murder of Pune-based businessman Ketan Agarwal continues to reveal new twists, with fresh claims now focusing on whether accused Siya Goyal’s mother knew about her daughter’s alleged double life before the crime.

According to reports, Siya had allegedly been in a relationship with co-accused Chetan Chaudhary while simultaneously preparing to marry Ketan Agarwal. The latest developments have sparked speculation over whether her family, especially her mother, had any knowledge of the alleged relationship or the circumstances surrounding it.

As the probe progresses, investigators are examining statements from family members and those close to Siya to determine whether her personal life was deliberately kept hidden from her parents. Earlier, her parents had maintained that they were unaware of any relationship between Siya and Chetan and believed she was happy with the arranged marriage. They have also denied allegations that they pressured her into marrying Ketan.

Police allege that Siya and Chetan conspired to kill Ketan during a visit to Lohagad Fort, where he was allegedly pushed into a gorge. Authorities believe the murder was pre-planned, and both accused remain under investigation as officials continue collecting evidence.

Veteran Marathi Theatre Legend Vijaya Mehta Dies At 91; Indian Performing Arts Loses A Trailblazer

Veteran Marathi theatre director, actor and filmmaker Vijaya Mehta passed away at 91 in Mumbai. A pioneer of experimental theatre, she leaves behind an extraordinary legacy in Indian performing arts.

Veteran Marathi theatre director, actor and filmmaker Vijaya Mehta passed away on the night of June 30 at her Mumbai residence after battling a prolonged illness. She was 91. Her demise marks the end of an era for Indian theatre, with tributes pouring in from across the entertainment and cultural fraternity for one of the country’s most influential creative minds.

Widely regarded as a pioneer of modern Marathi experimental theatre, Mehta transformed the landscape of Indian performing arts through her innovative direction, powerful storytelling, and dedication to nurturing new talent. She breathed her last around 10 pm after her health had declined over the past several months.

Born as Vijaya Jaywant, Mehta emerged as one of the defining figures of Indian theatre in the 1960s. She co-founded the Mumbai-based theatre group Rangayan alongside celebrated playwright Vijay Tendulkar and theatre stalwarts Shriram Lagoo and Arvind Deshpande, helping shape the country’s experimental theatre movement. Her productions introduced fresh theatrical techniques and brought international playwrights like Bertolt Brecht and Eugène Ionesco to Marathi audiences through acclaimed adaptations.

Apart from theatre, Mehta also made a lasting impact on Indian cinema. She directed critically acclaimed films such as Pestonjee and Rao Saheb, while also earning widespread praise as an actor in films including Party. Her remarkable body of work earned her several prestigious honours, including the Sangeet Natak Akademi Award, the National Film Award for Best Supporting Actress, and the Padma Shri, cementing her place among India’s most respected cultural icons.

When Brazil scored a stoppage time winner against Japan at the World Cup, thousands of miles away, in the narrow lanes of Lyari in Pakistan’s Karachi, there was something closer to catharsis.

Brazil survived. Barely.

For almost an hour in Houston on a tense Monday, Japan looked ready to deliver one of the great shocks of this FIFA World Cup. Kaishu Sano’s first-half strike silenced Brazil, the five-time champions stumbling through long stretches of the match as the Japanese players frustrated one of football’s greatest powers. Then came a familiar revival. Casemiro rose to head in the equaliser before Gabriel Martinelli struck deep into stoppage time to send Brazil into the last 16 with a dramatic 2-1 victory. Somewhere in Brazil, there was relief. Thousands of miles away, in the narrow lanes of Lyari in Pakistan’s Karachi, there was something closer to catharsis.

For one more night, the self-proclaimed “Brazil of Pakistan” remained emotionally invested in a team that has become woven into its own identity over the last few decades.

I have not watched the film Dhurandhar. But it is very difficult to ignore the fact that in India, millions have recently discovered Lyari through the Ranveer Singh-starrer movie, a blockbuster that thrust Karachi’s oldest neighbourhood back into popular imagination through its heavily fictionalised portrayal of spies, gang wars, and criminal empires. The film borrows heavily from one of the bloodiest chapters in Lyari’s history.

But away from cinema screens lies another Lyari. One where football occupies conversations more than gang wars. Where children still dribble balls through cramped alleyways. Where World Cup nights transform entire neighbourhoods into open-air stadiums. Where yellow Brazil flags outnumber almost every other colour. Even the dark green of the Pakistani flag.
It is this Lyari that its residents wish the world, and to an extension also Bollywood to know.

“For us, the World Cup is much more than a football tournament. It’s a celebration of our identity,” Mir Rizwan Baloch, who grew up amid Lyari’s football culture, told NDTV. “The streets come alive with flags, murals, jerseys and friendly debates. Families, friends and neighbours gather around screens to watch matches together. During the World Cup, Lyari feels connected to the rest of the football-loving world.”

That description bears little resemblance to the cinematic landscape audiences have recently encountered in the Aditya Dhar-directed Dhurandhar and its sequel. Independent Pakistani journalist Sameera Fazal believes Dhurandhar captures only one chapter of a far longer story.

“As someone from Pakistan, I think the movie gets one thing right: Lyari did experience gang wars and violence during a certain period,” Sameera Fazal told NDTV. “However, I feel the film exaggerates that aspect and presents it as the whole identity of Lyari. It does not show the other side of Lyari, its rich football culture, diverse communities, talented youth and vibrant local culture.”

Those who know Lyari insist football arrived long before notoriety. Across Pakistan, cricket may dominate television ratings and public imagination, but in these streets football has survived across generations almost as an inheritance. Parents introduce children to the game before they are old enough to understand the names of clubs or countries. Heroes are measured not in cricket runs but in goals, tricks and impossible dribbles.

Brazil became the neighbourhood’s adopted nation.

“Brazil represents the kind of football people in Lyari love, creative, joyful, fearless and full of flair,” Rizwan Baloch told NDTV. “Older generations passed that passion down to their children. Players like Pele, Romário, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Neymar and now Vinícius Júnior have inspired kids here. Supporting Brazil has almost become a family tradition.”

The devotion becomes visible every four years.

As the 2026 FIFA World Cup is underway in Mexico, Canada and the United States, children of Lyari can be seen wearing replica yellow jerseys. Walls filled with murals. Flags hung from balconies. Families rearranging dinner around kick-off times. Rival supporters teasing one another before returning to share tea and snacks after the final whistle.

“If someone watched a World Cup match in Lyari tonight,” Rizwan Baloch said, “they would probably think they were somewhere in South America rather than Pakistan.”

Pakistan itself remains absent from football’s biggest stage. Every World Cup therefore becomes both celebration and reminder.

“We don’t just watch other countries,” Rizwan Baloch said. “We imagine what it would feel like to see Pakistan standing among them one day.”

Those dreams persist despite the realities surrounding them.

At the entrance to Lyari stands People’s Football Stadium, built in 1995 during the Pakistan Peoples Party government. It remains Pakistan’s only purpose-built floodlit football stadium, capable of accommodating around 40,000 spectators. Spread across ten acres, it contains changing rooms, a boxing arena, gymnasium, commentary facilities, conference rooms and training areas. It has hosted both domestic competitions and international fixtures.

Lyari, a neighbourhood overflowing with football passion still struggles with facilities worthy of that strong passion for the sport.

“The biggest challenges are the lack of modern facilities, consistent coaching, professional leagues, financial support and organised youth development,” Rizwan Baloch told NDTV. “There are many talented players, but too often they don’t get the opportunities or exposure needed.”

But Pakistan’s football story stretches far beyond Lyari. Nearly 1,200 kilometres away, Sialkot quietly occupies a unique place in World Cup history.

In 1982, manufacturers there produced Adidas’s Tango Espana, becoming the first Pakistani-made official World Cup ball. Every official World Cup ball since the 2014 tournament has also been manufactured in Sialkot. While factories assemble the official match balls, thousands of hand-stitched training and souvenir balls are produced through a network of more than 1,400 registered stitching centres, creating employment that expands with every World Cup.

Pakistan has made footballs for champions. Yet it has never sent a team to football’s biggest tournament. That contradiction remains painful for many in Lyari.

“If FIFA officials visited Lyari today,” Rizwan Baloch said, “I would want them to see that Lyari is full of natural football talent. We need proper pitches, coaching, youth development programmes and pathways that connect our players to professional opportunities.”

Football, residents say, has also offered something more valuable than trophies. It has provided an alternative.
“Football gives young people discipline, purpose and something positive to focus on,” Rizwan Baloch said. “It teaches teamwork, respect and resilience. While football alone can’t solve every social problem, it has helped many young people choose a better path.”

Lyari spent years appearing in headlines for entirely different reasons. During the 2000s and early 2010s, gang warfare transformed the neighbourhood into one of Pakistan’s most feared urban battlegrounds. Armed groups fought for territory. Political interests intertwined with criminal networks. Police officers became targets. Residents lived through violence that came to define Lyari for outsiders.

That turbulent period forms much of the emotional backdrop of Dhurandhar. NDTV’s Hardika Gupta believes the film succeeds because it turns Lyari into more than just a location.

“I think the biggest achievement of the film is that it turned Lyari into a character rather than just a backdrop,” she said. “Even people in India who had never heard of Lyari before the film came away feeling like they knew the place.”
According to Gupta, the film draws authenticity from real events involving figures such as Rehman Dakait, Arshad Pappu, Uzair Baloch and police officer Chaudhry Aslam, while fictionalising timelines and characters.

“The cinematic Lyari is heightened for dramatic effect,” she said, “but its emotional truth comes from real events and real people. The real Lyari is obviously much richer than the image popular culture often creates.”

That view is echoed across Karachi.

Sameera Fazal said the Lyari of today is fundamentally different from the one remembered through old headlines.

“The large-scale gang wars that made Lyari infamous during the 2000s and early 2010s have largely ended following extensive law-enforcement operations,” she told NDTV. “Daily life today is far safer than it was during that period.”

In Lyari, the infrastructure is ageing. Unemployment continues to trouble many families. Municipal services remain inadequate. Residents still campaign for improved housing, sanitation, education and economic opportunities.

The Sindh government had recently announced the 25.28 billion Pakistani rupees-worth Lyari Transformation Project, promising upgraded roads, improved sewerage and drainage, expanded water supply, beautification projects and infrastructure rehabilitation. But many residents remain cautiously optimistic, remembering earlier promises that were delayed or only partially fulfilled.

After facing criticism for posting wedding memories following K Bhagyaraj’s death, Khushbu Sundar gave a sharp response on social media. “My daughter got married not even 48 hours before… I have all the right to be happy,” she wrote, asking critics to stop following her if they had a problem.

Actress and politician Khushbu Sundar’s daughter, Avantika Sundar, recently tied the knot in a star-studded ceremony in Goa on Thursday evening, which was attended by several celebrities, including veteran actor-director K Bhagyaraj. The wedding turned out to be Bhagyaraj’s last public appearance before his shocking demise on June 27 in Chennai following a cardiac arrest.

Khushbu Sundar Defends Wedding Post Amid Bhagyaraj Death Backlash

After the wedding, Khushbu shared a candid photo with her husband on social media, drawing mixed reactions from some users who questioned the timing of the post in the wake of Bhagyaraj’s death. Refusing to stay silent, Khushbu hit back at the criticism, asserting that she had every right to share memories from her daughter’s special day.

‘I Have All The Right To Be Happy’

She commented, “@deepapprriyajayyaprakashh why follow me then?? Only to criticize?? My daughter got married not even 48hours before. And who knows Poornima better? You or me?? If you find it difficult, stop following me. I am better off without people like you. I have all the right to be happy.”

Photo Via Instagram

Meanwhile, Khushbu also paid tribute to Bhagyaraj on Instagram. Sharing a photograph of the filmmaker, she wrote, “Rest in peace Sir. My funny moments with you will remain etched in my memory forever. I will miss you.”

Businessman Found Dead At Kannada Actress Krishi Thapanda’s Bengaluru Home; Police Launch Investigation

A shocking incident has emerged from Bengaluru after a businessman was found dead at the residence of Kannada actress and former Bigg Boss Kannada contestant Krishi Thapanda. Police have launched an investigation to determine the circumstances surrounding the death, while an unnatural death case has been registered.

According to reports, the deceased has been identified as Vaishak, who had reportedly been staying at Krishi Thapanda’s apartment in Bengaluru’s RR Nagar area for the past few days. Police said he was alone inside the apartment when the incident took place. No suicide note or video message has been recovered from the spot so far.

Sources revealed that Vaishak had tried contacting Krishi shortly before the incident. However, the actress was reportedly in Nelamangala at the time and could not answer his call. He later allegedly sent messages indicating that he intended to end his life. After noticing the messages, Krishi immediately informed his family members. Despite rushing to the apartment, his relatives found him dead before they could reach him.

Following the incident, Vaishak’s father filed a complaint with the police. Authorities have begun investigating all aspects of the case to establish the exact sequence of events and the reason behind the death.

Akshay Kumar’s Welcome To The Jungle has taken a decent start at the box office. It should aim for a good growth over the weekend and end it on a healthy note.

Welcome To The Jungle has taken a decent start at the box office. As per estimates, the comedy drama debuted with slightly under Rs. 19 crore nett on its opening day, including paid previews. Of this, around Rs. 15 crore came on Friday, while the movie minted Rs. 3.75 crore in its Thursday previews. Actuals will be shared in the morning.

That’s a better opening than Akshay Kumar’s previous release, Bhooth Bangla, which turned out to be a Clean Hit venture. The Ahmad Khan directorial should aim to grow over the weekend and post a healthy total. The word-of-mouth seems mixed so far, which is why its fate will depend on how it performs on weekdays and while facing the new releases: Alpha, Dhamaal 4, The Odyssey, and Spider-Man: Brand New Day.

Ideally, the film should open much bigger, somewhere around Rs. 40 crore or more, given the strong IP value. However, the film hasn’t made use of it. The treatment seems to be more of a spoof/parody rather than a broader, appealing family entertainer, which the first two films in the franchise were.

Still, if the film can sustain at this opening, it can sail through. Bhooth Bangla managed to do that, but their competition was a lot lax compared to Welcome To The Jungle. Let’s see how the movie performs in the coming days.

Zubeen Garg Death Case: Supreme Court Issues Notice To Assam Govt On Shyamkanu Mahanta’s Bail Plea

The legal proceedings in the high-profile death case of celebrated Assamese singer Zubeen Garg have taken a fresh turn. The Supreme Court has issued a notice to the Assam government on a bail plea filed by event organiser Shyamkanu Mahanta, one of the accused in the case. The court has sought a response from the state authorities and is expected to hear the matter further by the end of July.

Mahanta approached the apex court after the Gauhati High Court rejected his bail application in May 2026. His petition challenges the High Court’s order and argues that there is no possibility of him absconding, as his passport and other important documents are already in the custody of the investigating agencies.

The case is linked to the death of Zubeen Garg during a yacht trip in Singapore in September 2025. Following the incident, multiple complaints were filed, leading to a detailed investigation by a Special Investigation Team (SIT) constituted by the Assam government. The probe resulted in the arrest of several individuals, including Mahanta, who has remained in custody since October 2025.

According to reports, the SIT filed an extensive chargesheet and brought serious allegations against multiple accused in connection with the singer’s death. Investigators have maintained that the case involves significant questions that require detailed examination.

Several videos from the Padma Awards 2026 ceremony showed Alka Yagnik looking frail & getting assisted by a female volunteer, raising concerns about her health.

Veteran singer Alka Yagnik made a rare public appearance on Tuesday as she attended the Padma Awards 2026 ceremony in Delhi to receive the Padma Bhushan honour. The outing marked one of her first public appearances since revealing her battle with a rare hearing disorder. However, videos of the singer, who appeared visibly frail, sparked concern among fans about her health. The singer has now addressed concerns around her health.

Alka Yagnik addresses health concerns

Alka was honoured with the Padma Bhushan honour at the Padma Awards 2026 ceremony on June 23. She was conferred with the prestigious award by the President, Droupadi Murmu.

Several videos from the ceremony have surfaced on social media, showing Alka looking visibly frail as she was assisted by a female volunteer while walking up to receive the honour from the President. The videos quickly caught attention on social media, with many fans expressing concern over the singer’s health.

Early on Wednesday, Alka took to Instagram, seemingly addressing concerns about her health, revealing that she has been staying away from public appearances as she is “slowly finding my way back.”

“For the last two years, I have stayed away from the spotlight, from public appearances, and from sharing much of my journey. Many of you knew I am going through difficult health and through it all, your love, prayers, messages, and unwavering support have stayed with me every step of the way,” Alka wrote while sharing an image of herself from the ceremony with the President.

She continued, “Today, as I stepped out to receive one of highest civilian honours in the country – the distinguished Padma Bhushan, I did so with a heart full of gratitude. This honour is deeply humbling, and while my name may be on it, it belongs just as much to every listener who welcomed my voice into their lives, carried my songs through generations, and stood by me through both the highs and the challenges.”

Talking about her health, Alka wrote, “This moment feels especially meaningful because it marks not just a recognition of my work, but a reminder of the strength that comes from love, hope, and resilience. I am slowly finding my way back, and I wanted to be here today – not only for myself, but for each and every one of you who have been a part of this journey.”

“I would also like to express my deepest gratitude to the Hon’ble President of India, Smt. Droupadi Murmu, the Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, the Ministry of Home Affairs, and the Government of India for conferring upon me this extraordinary honour. I accept it with immense humility and respect. Thank you for your warmth, your kindness, your prayers, and your faith in me over the years. I carry all of it with me,” she added.

The singer wrapped up the post by mentioning that she didn’t just accept an award, but “felt the love of millions who have been a part of my journey”.

‘Yeh Duniya Jeene Nahi De Rahi’: Dimple Chaudhary Reacts To Viral Fan Photo Row, Reveals Emotional Turmoil

Haryanvi dancer and social media personality Dimple Chaudhary has finally spoken out after a video of her refusing to pose for photographs with fans went viral online, triggering widespread criticism and trolling. The controversy erupted after a clip surfaced on social media showing Dimple involved in a heated exchange with a group of people who allegedly wanted to click pictures with her. The video quickly gained traction, with several users accusing her of being rude and arrogant.

Responding to the backlash, Dimple shared an emotional video explaining her side of the story. She stated that the incident took place while she was spending time with her family and claimed that the situation was being misrepresented online. According to her, she has never had an issue taking photographs with admirers when approached respectfully.

The dancer questioned why she was being targeted for wanting personal space while with her loved ones. She said that if people had politely requested a photograph, she would have happily obliged. Dimple also expressed frustration over the harsh comments and judgments being passed against her based on a short viral clip.

However, it was her candid remarks about her mental health that drew significant attention. In the emotional video, Dimple revealed that the constant trolling and criticism have deeply affected her. She admitted that she has been struggling mentally and pleaded with people to stop harassing her online.

Aamir Khan and Gauri Spratt are all set to tie the wedding knot soon, with an intimate ceremony taking place on July 5, 2026.

Aamir Khan is making headlines once again as reports about his upcoming wedding have surfaced online. As the Bollywood superstar prepares to tie the knot with Gauri Spratt, he has opened up about his plans and confirmed that the wedding is scheduled to take place on July 5, 2026.

Aamir Khan details his wedding plans with Gauri Spratt

Speaking to Deccan Chronicle, Aamir Khan said, “It will be a very simple registered marriage at home, with just both the families and really close friends. We both want to keep it very basic.”

While the guest list has not been revealed yet, it remains unclear whether some of Aamir’s closest friends from the film industry, including Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, and other Bollywood colleagues, will attend the celebrations.

In an interview with Variety India, the Lagaan actor spoke about their decision to get married, saying that the couple now feels ready to take their relationship forward. He said, “Yes, that is true. But now we both feel we are ready to take our relationship to the next level.”

Khan added that he already considers himself deeply committed to Gauri and views the wedding as a natural progression of their relationship.

For those unaware, Gauri Spratt is based in Bengaluru and is associated with the wellness and beauty industry. She is the granddaughter of Philip Spratt, a British-born writer and thinker who moved to India in the 1920s. She also has a son, Quinn, from a previous marriage.

Meanwhile, this will mark Aamir’s third marriage. The actor was first married to Reena Dutta, with whom he shares two children, Junaid Khan and Ira Khan. Although the couple later parted ways, they have remained on cordial terms. He later married Kiran Rao. While they announced their separation after 16 years of marriage, they continue to co-parent their son, Azad.

Faizan Ansari Demands Immediate Arrest Of Influencer Apoorva Makhija After Controversial Comment

A fresh legal complaint has been lodged against social media influencer Apoorva Makhija after a reported remark in which she said she would be willing to sleep with someone for a sum of Rs 10–15 crore. The complaint, filed by fellow influencer Faizan Ansari, seeks immediate action from the Commissioner of Police Niket Kaushik and calls for an arrest warrant to be issued against Makhija.

In his letter to Mumbai Police Commissioner Niket Kaushik, Ansari described the alleged statement as “objectionable” and said it could set an unhealthy precedent for young women in Mumbai and beyond. He argued that such comments are “crude and irresponsible” and could negatively influence impressionable followers. Ansari also claimed that Makhija has a record of prior inappropriate behaviour that, in his view, has not attracted adequate legal consequences in the past.

According to sources close to the matter, the complaint was formally submitted to the commissioner’s office. Police officials, however, have not publicly confirmed whether a First Information Report (FIR) has been registered. Standard procedure requires authorities to examine the complaint and decide whether the content of the alleged remark falls within the ambit of any penal provisions — such as those addressing obscenity, public morality, or incitement — before proceeding further.

The demand for immediate arrest raises both legal and procedural questions. Legal experts point out that an arrest depends on the specific sections of law invoked, the nature of evidence presented, and whether the alleged conduct constitutes an offence warranting custody. “Arrest is not automatic; investigators must assess if prima facie case exists and whether custodial interrogation is necessary,” said a criminal law practitioner who reviewed the public details. Due process norms require a fair investigation and an opportunity for the accused to respond to allegations.

Representatives for Apoorva Makhija were not reachable for comment at the time of publication. Makhija, who has an active presence on social media and a sizeable follower base, has in the past drawn attention for her outspoken online persona. Any legal action could carry reputational consequences as well as potential professional ramifications, including platform moderation, loss of brand partnerships, or limits on monetisation depending on the outcome.

Public reaction on social platforms has been mixed. Some commentators welcomed the complaint, arguing that public figures should be held accountable for statements that might normalise transactional or exploitative behaviour. Others cautioned against criminalising expressions that fall within the scope of personal speech or satire, warning that overreach could chill legitimate freedom of expression. The debate underscores an ongoing tension in India between protecting public morals and upholding free speech in the digital age.

Sara Ali Khan meets Henry Cavill at Royal Ascot

Sara posted pictures from the Royal Ascot, writing, “A royal affair with @longines.” The pictures show her dressed in a formal ivory skirt suit with a dainty fascinator. She carried a matching clasp purse to complete the look. The event has already made waves, as King Charles III, Queen Camilla, the Prince of Wales, Prince William, and the Princess of Wales, Catherine, were among those who attended the iconic horse racing event in Berkshire, England.

Fans couldn’t keep calm as one of them commented, “Beautiful Pataudi Princess.” Another wrote, “Fitting for my Princess.” One shocked fan wrote, “Is that…Henry Cavill???” while others confirmed it was indeed him. Some fans mistook him for a ‘lookalike’ and had to be corrected. “Looking Royal Indeed,” commented one fan, while another excited fan wrote, “Pataudi princess x Superman!!!”

Longlines’ social media page also posted Henry and Sara’s pictures, writing, “An expression of timeless elegance at Royal Ascot.” “Sara?” wrote one surprised fan under the post. “Henry X Sara (fire emojis),” wrote another. “Did not expect Henry to reprise his role as Humphrey In Stardust but he looks better now,” thought one fan. “This is what a proper gentleman should look like. I hope he has his Superman on underneath,” joked another.

Salman Khan and Farhan Akhtar’s film is a massive period action drama mounted on a grand scale, with the story envisioned to unfold across two parts.

On January 5 this year, Pinkvilla first revealed that Salman Khan is teaming up with The Family Man makers Raj and DK for an action-comedy film. After locking an action-comedy, Bollywood superstar Salman Khan is now exploring another ambitious project. Pinkvilla has exclusively learnt that Salman is in talks with Farhan Akhtar for a large-scale period drama based on one of the most celebrated characters from Indian history.

According to sources, the conversations between Salman Khan and Farhan Akhtar have been ongoing for over a month. The actor is said to have responded positively to the story and scale of the project, which is being planned as a theatrical action spectacle.

“Salman Khan and Farhan Akhtar have been meeting regularly over the last month and discussing a potential collaboration. Salman has loved what he has heard so far and has shown keen interest in the project. The talks are still at an early stage and have not yet reached the paperwork phase, but both sides are excited about the possibility of coming together for the first time,” a source informed Pinkvilla.

The source further reveals, “It is a massive period action drama mounted on a grand scale. The idea is to tell the story across 2 films.” However, more clarity on the project and its progress is expected by the end of the year.

If everything falls into place, the untitled period drama could become Salman Khan’s next feature after his superhero comedy with Raj and DK.

₹370 Biryani Row: Gurugram Police Register Case Against Pranit More And Himanshu Jangra

The controversy surrounding the viral “₹370 Biryani” remark has taken another legal turn, with Gurugram Police registering a case against stand-up comedian Pranit More and audience member Himanshu Jangra. The action comes after a clip from More’s comedy show sparked widespread outrage on social media and drew attention from several authorities.

The row began after a video from a crowd-work segment at a comedy show in Gurugram went viral online. During the interaction, Jangra narrated an incident involving a date where he spent ₹370 on a plate of chicken biryani. He allegedly suggested that the amount spent entitled him to physical intimacy, a remark that many social media users condemned as offensive and insensitive toward issues of consent.

The clip quickly triggered backlash, with critics accusing More of encouraging or normalising the statement by laughing and engaging with the conversation during the performance. As the video spread across digital platforms, calls for action against both individuals intensified.

Prior to the Gurugram case, Maharashtra Cyber Police had already registered an FIR against More, Jangra, and others over the circulation of allegedly objectionable content linked to the incident. Authorities stated that the material contained remarks concerning women and consent that could violate public decency and legal provisions.

However, Nazriya has not responded to any of the speculation, leaving the meaning behind the post open to interpretation.

In a recent interview, Sanchita Ugale’s father claimed that she often appeared disturbed even when she seemed fine.

The death of actor Sanchita Ugale on Sunday evening has sent shockwaves through the television industry. She is alleged to have died by suicide at her Mumbai apartment, and the police are still investigating the case. Now, her father, Machhindra Ugale, has spoken about her state of mind in the days leading up to her death, claiming that she had been under immense pressure and was facing harassment.

Sanchita’s father speaks up

In an interview with NDTV, Sanchita’s father claimed that she often appeared disturbed even when she seemed fine.

“Upset to wo rehti hi thi. Usne humein wajah batayi nahi, bas itna hi, par wo upset rehti thi. Matlab woh jab acche mood mein hoti thi, tab bhi achanak depression mein chali jaati thi. Yeh baat humare dhyaan mein aayi thi, aur isi liye hum uske saath roz aana-jaana karte the. Bas utna hi waqt, samjho ki aadha ghanta hum uske saath nahi the, wo hamari galti samjho. Lekin wo itne depression mein chali gayi, yeh humein maloom nahi tha ki wo aisa kadam utha legi,” Machhindra said.

It translates to, “She would remain upset. She did not tell us the reason, just that she stayed upset. Even when she appeared to be in a good mood, she would suddenly slip into depression. We had noticed this, which is why we used to accompany her daily. It was just that brief time – hardly half an hour when we were not with her – you can consider that our mistake. But we did not know she had gone into such deep depression that she would take such a step.”

Sanchita’s father continued, “Baatcheet ki thi, par use torture kiya ja raha tha. Use koi na koi paison ko lekar ya kisi na kisi baat ko lekar maang karke, use torture aur hammering kar hi raha tha. Kisi na kisi maamle mein yeh ho hi raha tha. Matlab, wo baat ab mere saamne saaf hogi hi, par nishchit roop se aisa ho raha tha. Prashasan se maang bas ek hi hai ki meri beti ke saath jo bhi galat hua hai, use nyaay milna chahiye.”

It translates to, “We had spoken to her, but she was being tortured. Someone or the other was troubling her, making demands related to money or something else, subjecting her to constant pressure and harassment. This was happening in some form or the other. The truth will become clear before me, but this was definitely happening. I have only one request from the administration – that whatever wrong has happened to my daughter, she should get justice.”

Sanchita Ugale’s death

Sanchita was known for her work on TV shows such as Kumkum Bhagya and Wagle Ki Duniya. News agency ANI reported that, according to police, the incident occurred between 7 and 7:30 PM on June 14 at Sai Santoshi Building in Achole village, Nalasopara East. Officials said Sanchita was found hanging from a ceiling fan in her bedroom using a saree. The room was locked from the inside. Family members rushed her to a Vasai-Virar Municipal Corporation hospital, where doctors declared her dead after examination.

Singer Sapna Choudhary has been granted interim protection by the Dwarka Mahila Court ahead of the premiere of her upcoming film Momacu. The court has restrained her husband from contacting or approaching her until the next hearing.

The Dwarka Mahila Court in New Delhi has granted interim protection to singer Sapna Choudhary under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act ahead of the premiere of her upcoming film Momacu. The court has restrained her husband, Yashveer Sahu, from approaching or contacting her and from visiting her residence, workplace or the film premiere venue until the next hearing.

The matter came up after Choudhary’s application before the Mahila court, stating that her husband had repeatedly assaulted her and created unpleasant scenes in public. She earlier told the court that she left their shared home and filed a domestic violence complaint.

The order was passed after the court considered documentary evidence and concerns related to the petitioner’s safety and professional commitments. The 35-year-old is scheduled to make several public appearances connected to the film, whose premiere is set for June 10.

The relief was secured after detailed arguments by Advocate Preeti Singh, counsel for Choudhary.

In a statement to the press, Singh said, “The interim protection granted by the learned Court under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act in favour of my client against her husband underscores the object of the law- to provide immediate protection where circumstances warrant. As the matter is sub judice, we will refrain from commenting on the merits and have full faith in the judicial process.”

Singh further argued that there were “serious apprehensions of repetition of such acts.”

The application also said there was a “grave apprehension that respondent will create a hindrance” at the June 10 film premiere “by threatening, assaulting and creating a public scene to malign the reputation of petitioner.”

What exactly did the court say?

Taking note of medical evidence of injuries, photographs of the injuries allegedly caused by Sahu and recordings of threats allegedly made by him, the Mahila Court on Tuesday passed an order restraining the husband from “approaching the petitioner in any manner till the next date of hearing”.

The court further directed that, “Respondent is restrained from contacting the petitioner in any manner or visiting her place of residence or work (temporary or permanent, including the venue of the premiere of the movie as stated above) and committing any act of domestic violence till the next date of hearing.”

Judicial Magistrate Nidhi Singh also directed the concerned protection officer and the area SHO to ensure that a copy of the order is given to the husband and that all assistance and protection are provided to the singer. The court has issued summons to the husband to appear in the domestic violence case, which is now scheduled to be heard on July 25.

More than a decade after her last film, Asin remains one of the most intriguing success stories in Indian cinema.

In an industry where stars spend decades chasing longevity, very few choose to leave when they are at the top of their game. One actress did exactly that. Long before the phrase ₹100 crore club became a regular part of Bollywood conversations, Asin Thottumkal was already making history.

She entered films as a teenager and quickly became a major star across multiple industries. After playing a key role in Bollywood’s first-ever ₹100 crore blockbuster, she worked with the industry’s biggest names and built a highly successful career before turning 30. Despite sharing screen space with top superstars, delivering back-to-back commercial hits, and earning a place among Bollywood’s most bankable actresses, she quietly stepped away from the spotlight. More than a decade after her last film, Asin remains one of the most intriguing success stories in Indian cinema.

The actress behind Bollywood’s first ₹100 crore blockbuster

When Ghajini took over theaters in 2008, the conversation mostly centered on Aamir Khan’s massive physical transformation and the movie’s intense revenge plot, which drew inspiration from Christopher Nolan’s 2000 American neo-noir thriller Memento. Yet, amidst all the high-octane action, it was Asin’s performance as Kalpana, the vibrant, kind-hearted model, that truly won the hearts of moviegoers.

Her portrayal provided the emotional heartbeat of the story, helping propel Ghajini into a massive cultural phenomenon. The blockbuster went on to rewrite history by becoming the very first Hindi film to cross the ₹100 crore milestone at the domestic box office, establishing a new commercial standard for Bollywood success.

For Asin, the movie served as the ultimate introduction to Hindi cinema. Already a reigning star in South Indian film industries, her unforgettable turn as Kalpana instantly transformed her into a household name right across the nation.

A remarkable box-office run

Riding high on the historic wave of Gajini, Asin quickly became the go-to leading lady for Bollywood’s biggest heavyweights. She shared screen space with Salman Khan in the smash hit Ready, matched comedic energy with Akshay Kumar in Housefull 2 and Khiladi 786, and joined forces with Ajay Devgn in Bol Bachchan. This incredible string of commercial successes dominated the box office and firmly established her as one of the most bankable and elite actresses of the early 2010s.

In a remarkably short span of time, Asin put together a powerhouse portfolio that most actors spend decades trying to build. By seamlessly crossing over between Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu, and Hindi cinema, she proved to be a rare, cross-border talent who could effortlessly command diverse industries and connect with audiences nationwide.

South career

When audiences across India discovered Asin through Ghajini opposite Aamir Khan, many assumed she was a promising newcomer making her Bollywood debut. In reality, she had already spent years building an extraordinary career across Tamil, Telugu, and Malayalam cinema. Starting her acting journey at just 15, she quickly became one of the most sought-after actresses in the South, sharing screen space with the biggest names of the era. In Tamil, she worked with Suriya in Narendran Makan Jayakanthan Vaka, Perazhagan, and the original Ghajini, Vijay in Sivakasi, and Pokkiri, Ajith Kumar in Varalaru, and Vikram in Majaa. In Telugu, she starred opposite Mahesh Babu in Okkadu and Athadu, Pawan Kalyan in Annavaram, and many more.

Choosing a different life

While a majority of actors ride the wave of stardom for as long as scripts keep coming, Asin mapped out a completely different blueprint for her life. Her final film outing arrived in 2015 with the Abhishek Bachchan-starrer All Is Well, right as she was quietly laying the groundwork for a major personal transition.

In January 2016, she tied the knot with Micromax co-founder and entrepreneur Rahul Sharma in a beautiful celebration blending Hindu and Christian customs, a union famously sparked by an introduction from her frequent co-star, Akshay Kumar.

But unlike her peers who keep one foot in the Bollywood circle post-marriage, Asin chose a definitive, quiet exit. She walked away from the camera entirely to devote her time to her family and private life. At just 30 years old, she had already achieved what many actors spend decades pursuing.

Where is Asin now?

Today, Asin leads a private lifestyle that stands in sharp contrast to her whirlwind years under the spotlight. After welcoming her daughter, Arin Rayn, in 2017 with her husband Rahul Sharma, the former actress consciously stepped away from the public eye and social media, choosing to share only rare, quiet glimpses of family milestones.

The couple hit a major milestone in January 2026, celebrating a decade of marriage. To mark their tenth anniversary, Rahul posted rare, nostalgic photos from their wedding day alongside a heartfelt message that instantly captured the internet’s attention. He wrote, “10 blissful years… She’s the incredible co-founder of everything that matters in my life, and I’m fortunate to be cast as a co-star in hers! Happy 10th anniversary, my love. May you run our home and my heart like a high-growth startup, and I show up on the set of your life every day. Here’s to an incredible future together.”

By 2026, tech entrepreneur Rahul Sharma’s personal fortune will have stabilised at an estimated ₹1,300 crore. This financial footprint represents a notable, steady recovery following the historic market contraction of Micromax. At its absolute peak, the homegrown mobile giant commanded a massive valuation of over ₹12,000–15,000 crore, before an aggressive wave of Chinese smartphone manufacturers, including Xiaomi, Oppo, and Vivo, completely disrupted the Indian hardware landscape.

Hina Khan Slams Shilpa Shinde Over False Sexual Harassment Claims, Says ‘The Joke Is On Us’

Television actress Hina Khan has strongly reacted to Shilpa Shinde’s recent admission that the sexual harassment allegations she had made against producer Sanjay Kohli during the controversy surrounding Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain! were false. Hina expressed shock and disappointment over the revelation, calling the situation “absolutely shameful” and stating that the producer was the real victim in the matter.

Taking to social media, Hina shared a strongly worded note in which she highlighted the damage caused by false allegations. Without directly naming Shilpa initially, she remarked that using such serious accusations to tarnish someone’s reputation is deeply disturbing. She further pointed out that when individuals misuse allegations of sexual harassment, it weakens the credibility of genuine victims who struggle to come forward with their experiences. According to Hina, the consequences of such actions extend beyond those directly involved and affect the larger conversation around workplace harassment and women’s safety.

Hina added that she was left “shocked beyond words” after learning about the confession and emphasized that the entire industry suffers when serious allegations are used as a weapon in personal or professional disputes. She stated that people who genuinely seek justice often face increased scrutiny because of such incidents. Concluding her statement, Hina said that the “joke is on us,” expressing frustration over the impact of the controversy on public trust and real survivors.

The controversy resurfaced after Shilpa revealed in a recent interview that the sexual harassment complaint she had filed against Sanjay Kohli years ago was false. She claimed she took that step during a difficult phase when she felt trapped amid contractual disputes and professional challenges. The confession triggered widespread reactions from members of the television industry and social media users, with many criticizing her for admitting to making a false allegation after several years.

While talking to Soha Ali Khan on her podcast, Dia Mirza shared the influence her father had on her. She also spoke about taking a break from acting at the peak of her career.

Dia Mirza is one of those actors who have been using their following and influence to raise awareness about things that matter. Be it in her personal life or through her professional choices, she has been extensively advocating for the protection of the environment and wildlife. But the love for nature was ingrained in her since childhood, and her guardians. While talking to Soha Ali Khan, the beauty queen spoke about her parents’ separation and how it made her responsible.

Dia Mirza on becoming responsible after her parents’ split

On Soha Ali Khan’s podcast, actor and producer Dia Mirza touched upon a deeply personal space. The diva reflected on one of the defining lessons of her childhood, recalling how her father chose principles over financial security when faced with an ethically challenging professional opportunity.

Talking about how this shaped her understanding of responsibility and ethics, she said, “One of the reasons why my parents separated was because my father had such a strong point of view about the projects that he would take on.”

The Rehnaa Hai Terre Dil Mein actress further added that his industrial fair designer father refused to take up a high-paying job after he got to know that the factory that he was asked to design was spewing effluence into a nearby river. Despite the fact that they needed the money, he didn’t go ahead with it.

“I remember one of the most loud fights between my parents was about this, and he said, ‘No, I won’t do it.’ And my mom was like, ‘Who’s going to pay the bills? I mean, we’ve got to pay for her school. There’s all this expense, and we don’t have the luxury to say no.’ He said, ‘No, we but we always have a choice’,” she shared.

She further recalled spending much of her early years outdoors with her adoptive father, going sailing, trekking, and exploring the natural world around her. Growing up in a home surrounded by mango, guava, and chiku trees, she developed a deep appreciation for the environment from a young age.

Later in the episode, Dia opened up about a pivotal moment in her own life when professional success no longer felt fulfilling. Reflecting on that period, she shared, “I stepped back in 2005. I took a two-year sabbatical at what is considered your prime.”

When she was 24, she thought to herself, ‘I don’t like what I’m doing. I’m not having fun. I’ve made money. I’m independent. I have a home I can call my own in a city that is now mine because it’s embraced me, and I don’t have to worry about my bills, but this is not making me happy.

Following the post, users flooded X with reactions, with some criticising the actor and others showing support for her views

Anushka Sharma has left the internet divided over her latest social media post, in which she shared a video of a homeopathic physician and expressed her support for homeopathy.

Sharing a clip of Dr Rajan Sankaran’s conversation with Namita Thapar, Anushka wrote, “Homeopathy played an important role in my life and Dr. Rajan Sankaran has been a key part of that journey. I deeply value his insights on health and mindful living.”

How Social Media Reacted To Anushka’s Post On Homeopathy

Criticising her stance, one user wrote, “Virat Kohli’s wife, Anushka Sharma is recommending homeopathy to Indians. Fraud babas are not enough, she is now promoting unscientific fraud medicine to Indians Give them enough money and they might one day tell people, ‘Just visit Premanand Maharaj to cure all your diseases.'”

In the comment section, several users came out in support of the actor. Responding to the criticism, one user wrote, “Homeopathy is unscientific fraud?Bro you alright? Mental asylum needed? Literally homeopathy cures at times which even allopathy can’t even treat.”

Another user defended her post, saying it was a matter of personal choice. “She posted something that doesn’t imply everyone have to visit this doctor or that Baba. There is something called Free will.”

Meanwhile, one user said they were “retiring as a fan” of Anushka Sharma, citing her views on homeopathy as one of the reasons. They wrote, “More than 60M people follow you Anushka and you promote homeopathy on your story?? I have seen many people who denied proper medicine and died using these things in the name of belief and you freaking promote that?? Is this what that fraud Baba has been telling you?? OMG!”

1) 1) Worshipping Fraud Baba. I’m a Hindu too but HE IS NOT GOD.

I thought she was just visiting him for peace but who tf keeps Babas as WALLPAPER?? Who brainwashed you to that extent? It’s not your family, not god but a Baba?? This is not being religious, this is stupidity.

— XWVK (@Pushkie18) June 3, 2026

Echoing similar concerns, another user wrote, “What is wrong with Anushka Sharma suddenly? Who promotes homeopathy of all things? As if promoting fraud babas wasn’t enough, now she is promoting fraud medicine.”

Some users also raised concerns about the influence of celebrities. One comment read, “saw Anushka’s story, blood boiling stuff. promotes homeopathy on her page despite having such large following. why dont they go to a homeopathic/ayurvedic doc to get treated huh this is the reason why people come at such late stages of so many diseases when nothing can be done,”

However, others shared personal experiences in favour of homeopathy. Defending Anushka, one user wrote, “So??? Both my parents are allopathic doctors but I’m consulting a homeopath for a chronic skin issue after trying out modern medicine for over 2 years with little to no results. It’s only been 2.5 months and I’m already seeing a difference.”

Supporting her further, another user shared a detailed note. It read, “I still remember how people trolled me on Twitter 3-4 years ago because I am a homoeopathic doc. One thing I always said back then, and I still say today you can troll us all you want but in the end, many of you will come to us for treatment.”

The same user added, “Today, I actually feel grateful for that trolling because it pushed me to work harder and achieve more in life. The people who have nothing better to do will always criticize, but those who have experienced the treatment and seen the results know its value. Anushka Sharma shared a story about homeopathy, and she’s not the only one. Many well known personalities believe in it because they have personally benefited from it.”

They further wrote, “I’ve always told people if a treatment isn’t working for you, change the doctor but don’t judge an entire system based on one experience. Every field has good and bad practitioners. At the end of the day, what matters most are the results, the trust of patients, and the lives that improve because of the treatment.”

Another comment read, “Anushka Sharma is now endorsing quackery like Homeopathy. This is one level worse than endorsing fraud babas.”

Following Shilpa Shinde’s remarks, a men’s rights organisation NCMIndia Council for Men Affairs called on the Mumbai Police to take action against the actor.

Actor Shilpa Shinde has landed in fresh controversy after admitting during a recent chat with Bharti Singh and Haarsh Limbachiyaa that the sexual harassment complaint she filed against Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain producer Sanjay Kohli was false. The revelation has sparked widespread backlash, with a men’s rights NGO now demanding the actor’s arrest.

Shilpa Shinde faces wrath

Following her remarks, a Delhi-based men’s rights organisation NCMIndia Council for Men Affairs called on the Mumbai Police to initiate action against the actor. The group took to social media to publicly criticise Shilpa’s admission and urged authorities to investigate the matter and take appropriate legal steps.

The organisation, which advocates for men’s rights and gender equality, took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to publicly call on the Mumbai Police to take action in the matter.

“Dear @MumbaiPolice please arrest Shilpa Shinde for lodging a false sexual harassment case against her producer,” the post read. The post came with a clip of Shilpa confessing that she filed a false complaint against the producer of her show.

— NCMIndia Council For Men Affairs (@NCMIndiaa) June 2, 2026

The organisation later shared another post addressed to the Mumbai Police, seeking a response from the authorities and asking them to clarify what action, if any, would be taken in the matter. It wrote: “Hey @MumbaiPolice, You did not respond. Wednesday is your weekly off or do we need to pay some fee to receive a reply from you?”

Several social media users also slammed Shilpa over her remarks, with many condemning her actions and questioning the impact of filing a false complaint. “This selfish woman destroyed a man’s life, and now she’s shedding crocodile tears. Absolutely shameless. If she isn’t arrested, it will be a huge shame on her,” one comment read, with another reading, “That producer should file a defamation case against her and seek compensation.”

Shilpa Shinde’s confession

In 2016, Shilpa, who became a household name with Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain, exited the popular show. At the time, she accused the producers of harassment and non-payment of dues. Now, during a conversation with Bharti Singh and Haarsh Limbachiyaa on their podcast, Shilpa admitted that her sexual harassment allegations against the show’s producer were false.

Looking back at the situation of Sanjay Kohli, the actor said, “Poor man, he ended up getting defamed because of it. Today, through this platform, I want to say that it was false. I am confessing this for the first time. After that, we reached a settlement and the payments that were due to me at the time, which we used to receive after three months, were cleared.”

“I can’t explain what I was going through at that time. I fought the battle thinking, ‘To hell with all of you.’ Filing such a case after a year was very difficult for me, but I genuinely felt I had no other option. What I am saying today is a very big thing. Lying is not easy. A lie is a lie, whether it is small or big. I had told them that if life ever gave me the opportunity, I would confess that it was false,” she added.

They have decided to formalise their relationship by registering their marriage at home, surrounded by just their two families, including his children, Ira, Junaid, and Azad, and a handful of close friends.

While official statements from the couple’s representatives are being kept under wraps to maintain privacy, reports suggest that the July 5 wedding will be an intimate affair.

According to Filmfare’s source, “They have built a happy, stable life together and simply decided to mark it formally with their families present.” The ceremony will be held at Aamir Khan’s Mumbai residence.

On the work front, Aamir has taken over producer duties for Batwara 1947. Pinkvilla recently reported that the teaser of the upcoming film will release on June 15, 2026.

The actress didn’t take the name of the cricketer, leaving social media guessing

Television actor Nehal Vadoliya, who breifly appeared on the show Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashma, claimed that a divorced Rajasthan Royals cricketer slid into her DMs, complimenting her looks with adjectives like “hot” and “pretty.” During an appearance on the Suno India podcast, Nehal was asked whether a cricketer had ever messaged her.

“Naam le loon?” she said jokingly.

She added, “Itna known nahi hai, Rajasthan Royals ka hai. Divorce ho chuka hai.”

When asked what kind of messages she received, Nehal said the cricketer often reacted to her social media stories and complimented her appearance.

According to the actress, he sent messages calling her “hot,” “beautiful,” and “pretty.”

Nehal said she never wanted to take the conversation forward and eventually decided to cut off contact.

“Agar main message karungi to wo message karna shuru ho jayega. Mujhe baat hi nahi karni,” she said.

The actress claimed she eventually blocked the cricketer.

As soon as the clip went viral, social media users began guessing who the cricketer might be.

Accusation Against Actor for Inappropriate Messages

A few days earlier, the actress accused Gujarati actor Karan Joshi of sending her inappropriate messages on Instagram. She posted screenshots and videos that she said showed their conversation.

According to Nehal, Joshi first blamed the messages on a friend and later claimed his Instagram account had been hacked. She also alleged that some people connected to him tried to persuade her to delete her posts and stay quiet.

Ranveer Singh Makes First Public Appearance After FWICE Ban, Hides Face With Mask At Mumbai Airport

Bollywood actor Ranveer Singh made his first public appearance after the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) issued a non-cooperation directive against him amid the ongoing Don 3 controversy. The actor was spotted at Mumbai airport on Tuesday morning, where he tried to maintain a low profile by covering his face with a black mask and sunglasses.

Despite the ongoing controversy surrounding him, Ranveer appeared calm as he walked through the airport under tight security. The actor opted for a traditional look, wearing a white kurta-pyjama paired with a Nehru jacket. Videos and photos of his airport appearance quickly surfaced on social media, drawing attention from fans and paparazzi alike.

Ranveer’s appearance came only hours after FWICE reportedly took action against him for allegedly failing to respond to repeated requests from the federation regarding the Don 3 matter. Reports stated that the body had sent the actor three reminders before issuing the directive.

The issue reportedly began after filmmaker Farhan Akhtar approached the federation with a complaint linked to Ranveer’s exit from the much-awaited film. Farhan’s production banner, Excel Entertainment, had announced Ranveer as the new face of Don in August 2023 through a special teaser unveiling him in the iconic role.

FWICE, in its official statement, claimed that Farhan Akhtar and producer Ritesh Sidhwani informed the body that nearly Rs 45 crore had already been spent on the film’s pre-production. The federation reportedly expressed concern over the financial impact caused by the actor’s sudden withdrawal from the project.

Filmmaker Imtiaz Ali clarified his stance after his comment about Deepika Padukone’s ‘good girl image’ created a buzz online. Read on to know what really happened.

Deepika Padukone and filmmaker Imtiaz Ali share a bond that goes back over a decade. From the soulful Love Aaj Kal to the cult classic Tamasha, they have given cinephiles some of their most cherished movie memories. However, a recent interview clip of Imtiaz discussing Deepika’s role as Veronica in Cocktail sent social media into an absolute frenzy. Now, he has clarified his stance.

Imtiaz Ali clarifies he doesn’t want to hurt Deepika Padukone

After Imtiaz Ali’s comments about Deepika Padukone’s ‘good girl image’ drew unexpected flak online, the director decided to clear the air immediately. Taking to his Instagram stories, he issued a public clarification, addressing his favorite leading lady directly.

On his social media, Ali expressed, “My dearest and loveliest Deepika Padukone, you are my pal, my buddy, my safe option for humour. I think you will never misunderstand my attempts at fun because more than anyone else, you know how much I love you, admire you, understand you, and appreciate you. But I have been told you might misunderstand and be hurt, so I am telling you, please don’t.”

The filmmaker further added, “To be mean to you is janam mein to possible nahin hai. I never thought I would write such a disclaimer to you, but it’s been a while, and I didn’t want to take a chance. Wish you the best and love always.”

For the unversed, the chatter began when a video from Imtiaz’s recent interview with News18 started circulating online. While walking down memory lane about the casting of Homi Adajania’s Cocktail, the director revealed that Deepika was initially given the script to read for the character of Meera (eventually played by Diana Penty).

However, after a phone call with her, Imtiaz suggested she test for Veronica instead. Explaining his thought process, Imtiaz made a remark that raised quite a few eyebrows:

Yo Yo Honey Singh Meets Tarun Chugh in Amritsar for Dr*g-Free Punjab Campaign, Calls Drugs “Destroying Our Youth”

Popular Punjabi rapper Yo Yo Honey Singh recently met BJP national general secretary Tarun Chugh in Amritsar to discuss the growing drug crisis in Punjab and to support the ongoing “Drug-Free Punjab” campaign. The meeting focused on raising awareness about the devastating impact of drug abuse on the youth and encouraging them to move away from addiction.

During the interaction, both Honey Singh and Tarun Chugh expressed deep concern over the worsening situation in the state, stating that drugs are destroying families and the future of young people. Honey Singh stressed that Punjab’s identity should be associated with its rich cultural and agricultural heritage rather than substance abuse. He said, “Punjab must be saved from this,” highlighting the urgency of the issue.

Chugh praised Honey Singh’s personal journey, noting his past struggles with addiction and his successful comeback as an inspiration for the youth. He said that the rapper’s life story could motivate young people battling similar problems to rebuild their lives. He also referred to Honey Singh as a “son of Punjab,” emphasizing his influence among the younger generation.

According to reports, Brad Pitt and Ines de Ramon having been in a relationship for several years now.

Brad Pitt is reportedly content with where his personal life stands and has no plans to walk down the aisle again. According to a report published online, the 62-year-old actor has been dating jewelry designer Ines de Ramon, 33, since 2022, but marriage is allegedly “not in the cards” for the couple.

Brad Pitt and Ines de Ramon are in no hurry to marry

According to Daily Mail, while the relationship is going strong, Pitt is not looking to remarry or expand his family. “He has a great partner who he appreciates but there is no rush in that direction,” one source said. Another insider added that the couple is “very happy” and that the Oscar winner “enjoys the peace and support of his easygoing girlfriend.”

Fallout from Angelina Jolie divorce continues

Pitt’s hesitation around marriage reportedly stems in part from the aftermath of his split from Angelina Jolie. The former Hollywood power couple separated in 2016 and remained embroiled in legal disputes for years before finally settling their divorce in 2024. They have also continued battling in court over Château Miraval, the French estate and winery they once co-owned.

The ongoing tensions have also affected Pitt’s relationship with the six children he shares with Jolie- Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, and twins Knox and Vivienne. Reports suggest the actor has become increasingly estranged from his children over the years.

Bettina Anderson and Donald Trump Jr. tied the knot in a ceremony on a private island in the Bahamas on Saturday.

The couple said “I do” in front of an intimate group of approximately 40 people that included his five children, as well as his famous siblings, Ivanka, Eric and Tiffany Trump, and their spouses.

Anderson’s family and a few very close friends of the bride were also present.

“Don and Bettina are wonderful together. I’m so proud to have witnessed so much of their journey as a couple. They truly light up around each other and it’s been amazing watching their story unfold. Couldn’t be happier for them on their special day,” Eric Trump told Page Six.

We hear Lewis Miller Design, who led a flower arranging class for Meghan Markle’s baby shower and has planned several events for Carolina Herrera, was responsible for planning the wedding. The cake was by Palm Beach bakery Sweet Stacy’s. Upscale stationer Bernard Maisner created the menu in calligraphy.

The pair were initially eyeing a White House wedding, but decided to tone things down due to the war in Iran. However, they plan on doing a larger celebration with friends and extended family later this year, possibly at the White House.

“While I very much wanted to be with my son, Don Jr., and the newest member of the Trump Family, his soon to be wife, Bettina, circumstances pertaining to Government, and my love for the United States of America, do not allow me to do so,” the Commander in Chief wrote via Truth Social Friday, one day after the pair legally tied the knot in Palm Beach, Florida.

“I feel it is important for me to remain in Washington, D.C., at the White House during this important period of time.”

Page Six exclusively revealed in December that Trump Jr., 48, and Anderson, 39 — whose mother is Palm Beach philanthropist Inger Angerson and father is late banker Harry Loy Anderson Jr. — were engaged. And after we published the story, video emerged of the president announcing the betrothal at the White House later that evening.

She held her “enchanted garden”-themed bridal shower at Mar-a-Lago in April attended by Ivanka, Lara Trump, Tiffany and Marla Maples. Kai Trump, 19, who is Trump Jr.’s daughter with his ex-wife, Vanessa Trump, also stopped by, according to a spy.

The luncheon was hosted by Palm Beach socialites Yaz Hernandez, Amy Phelan and Audrey Gruss with guests including Daphne Oz, Dina Powell McCormick, Dee Ocleppo Hilfiger, Andrea Wynn and Bret Baier’s wife, Amy Baier.

Aishwarya Rai’s first look from Cannes 2026 proves why the festival feels incomplete without her. Even after 24 years since her debut at Cannes, her presence still feels magical.

The queen of Cannes is back! It goes unsaid that for Indians, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is synonymous with the Cannes Film Festival. Ever since the event kicked off, fans have been eager to know when the Bollywood actress would walk the red carpet, and it finally happened.

A social media user tweeted, “The camera flashes on her face are everything you need to know about her celebrity and her enduring impact, Aishwarya Rai at Cannes 2026.” Another one wrote, “#AishwaryaRai is an example of true stardom, beauty, and a thorough professional. This is her 24th time. No small feat. Only legends. A very crowded red carpet and a difficult #AmitAggarwal gown, but she stood out. Her Miss World training is honed in her posture. #AishwarayRai #Cannes.” A third X user remarked, “The way every cameraman shifted the focus on her the second she turned towards them. Oh yes #AishwaryaRai will always be the QUEEN.”

For the unversed, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has been one of the most recognized Indian faces at Cannes. In 2002, she made her appearance at the festival for the first time alongside Shah Rukh Khan and Sanjay Leela Bhansali. The team marked their presence for the premiere of the iconic movie, Devdas. Since her first look from this year’s Cannes has already left fans stunned, they are excited to see what comes next.

The Punjab government on Friday launched a drive to remove stray dogs from the streets after a Supreme Court order permitted it. Here’s what Sonu Sood said.

Actor Sonu Sood has spoken up after the Punjab government began a drive to remove stray dogs from the streets and move them to shelters or euthanise them if they’re deemed dangerous. The actor mentioned that many households look after and feed the dogs, but the government wants to move them. He also urged animal lovers to adopt these dogs and speak up against the court ruling.

Sonu Sood speaks up after Punjab government removes stray dogs

Sonu posted a video on his social media in which he spoke about what was happening in Punjab regarding stray dogs and said, “I saw a Tweet today in which our Honourable CM Punjab has given an order to remove stray dogs. I have seen a lot of videos claiming what is allegedly happening to them after that. They were very disturbing.”

He then pointed out that many who coexist with these dogs know which ones are harmful and which aren’t. “But we need to acknowledge that dogs are loyal creatures. Many people adopt stray dogs and care for them daily. They are not as harmful. Yes, there are instances of street dogs biting kids, but the people in those areas know which ones are harmful. A lot of times, they complain, and those are taken away, too,” said Sonu.

Urges government, animal loves to find alternatives

Sonu criticised the order that was passed and stated that this was the time when animal lovers must come forward. “But now, imagine an order being passed that every dog in every neighbourhood should be taken away, either to be euthanised or something else. I request that you spread this message because we need to find a solution to stop this,” he said.

The actor also added, “I will try my best to ensure these stray dogs find homes. I believe the government should instead construct shelters for these dogs. We always speak of humanity and standing up for people, but we tend to forget the loyal dogs on the streets. Let us find a way to stop this order.” He ended his video with, “People should adopt these dogs. Put a dupatta around your dog’s neck so they know that someone is taking care of them and feeding them. Let us raise our voice for the voiceless.”

Speaking at Cannes, actor Cate Blanchett said that the #MeToo movement in Hollywood ‘got killed’, leading to inequalities still persisting on film sets.

Actor Cate Blanchett has spoken out about how she feels that the #MeToo movement in Hollywood “got killed very quickly”, leading to issues still persisting on film sets across America.

Cate Blanchett on #MeToo in Hollywood

Speaking at the Cannes Film Festival on Sunday, the two-time Oscar winner touched upon many issues in a wide-ranging staged conversation. During that conversation, Cate lamented that the tide of #MeToo has been turned in Hollywood, where she has been outspoken about gender equality.

“It got killed very quickly, which I think is interesting,” said Blanchett, adding, “There are a lot of people with platforms who are able to speak up with relative safety and say this has happened to me. And the so-called average woman on the street, person on the street, is saying MeToo. Why does that get shut down?”

The actor added that the situation regarding gender equality and women’s safety on American film sets remains the same. “I’m still on film sets, and I do the headcount every day. There are 10 women, and there are 75 men every morning,” she said, “I love men, but what happens is the jokes become the same. You just have to brace yourself slightly, and I’m used to that, but it just gets boring for everybody when you walk into a homogeneous workplace.”

Cate Blanchett’s 2018 protest at Cannes

The #MeToo movement erupted in 2017 after several women spoke up against the abuse, harassment, and sexism they faced, allegedly at the hands of powerful men in Hollywood. This led to demands for far-reaching changes in the Hollywood studio structure. In 2018, Cate Blanchett was the president of the jury at the Cannes Film Festival, and she took part in a red-carpet protest.

The two have never even met or spoken to each other. There is absolutely no truth to these speculations and such fabricated stories should not be circulated without any factual basis,” the source clarified.

How their dating rumors began

Speculation about Tilak and Sreeleela first gained momentum after reports claimed that Sreeleela’s mother, Dr Swarnalatha, was spotted during Mumbai Indians’ IPL clash against Punjab Kings in Dharamsala.

Diljit Dosanjh Reportedly Holds US Citizenship Since 2022, Travels On American Passport: Report

Punjabi singer-actor Diljit Dosanjh has reportedly acquired United States citizenship and has been travelling on a US passport since 2022, according to recent media reports. The news surfaced while the actor is busy with his ongoing AURA World Tour 2026 across North America. Reports claim that Diljit no longer holds Indian citizenship and has been visiting India using an e-visa.

As per a report published by The Indian Express, Diljit has been using his American passport since September 2022. It was also stated that his last Indian passport was issued in Mumbai in 2018, while an earlier one had reportedly been issued in Zambia. The report further mentioned that his wife, Sandeep Kaur, is also a US citizen. While applying for American citizenship, Diljit is said to have listed a luxurious five-bedroom bungalow in California as his residential address.

The singer-actor has not yet reacted publicly or issued any clarification regarding the reports about his citizenship status. The development has sparked major discussion online, especially because Diljit is often seen as one of Punjab’s biggest global cultural icons.

The reports emerged shortly after Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann claimed that Diljit was allegedly being pressured by the BJP to enter politics. Addressing the media recently, Mann stated that the actor had already made it clear through social media that he only wants to focus on entertainment and has no political ambitions.

The pop star dressed to impress in yet another stylish dinner outing in New York City Thursday, this time sporting a white Stella McCartney peplum button-up top (which retails for $1,190) cinched at the waist with a thin black belt. She paired the eye-catching piece with loose tan trousers and black sandals from the Row (which retails for $1,150).

Swift, 36, accessorized with a small black Fendi bag (which retails for $4,450) and left her long hair down in waves with her signature blunt bangs.

The “Opalite” singer went to dinner at Zero Bond, an exclusive, private members-only club.

Her designer outfit appears to have been sent to her earlier in the day, as her bodyguard was seen carrying a large white garment bag and a Stella McCartney shopping bag outside her home.

Swift has been out and about in NYC this week, enjoying dinner dates with her family and friends. On Tuesday, she celebrated her close pal Lena Dunham’s 40th birthday at Italian restaurant Via Carota in NYC’s West Village neighborhood alongside Andrew Rannells, Emily Ratajkowski and director Romain Gavras.

Other attendees included Swift’s longtime bestie Ashley Avignone and Dunham’s husband, musician Luis Felber.

The Grammy winner sported a Retrofete minidress, Gucci slingback heels and a Dior bucket bag for the occasion.

Rannells posted a snap of the star-studded group on his Instagram Story Wednesday, jokingly thanking Dunham for taking the pic so that he “can seem cool for the kids.”

On Monday, Swift was spotted with her parents, Scott and Andrea Swift, and her brother, Austin.

Final postmortem report from Sir JJ Hospital has confirmed zinc phosphide poisoning in the deaths of four members of a South Mumbai family in Pydhonie, who allegedly consumed watermelon on April 25. While earlier FSL findings matched the toxin, police remain unsure whether it was suicide, accident, or a planned murder conspiracy, with investigation ongoing.

A final postmortem report submitted by Mumbai’s Sir JJ Hospital has confirmed that poisoning caused by zinc phosphide a toxic substance commonly used as rat poison led to the deaths of four members of a family in south Mumbai’s Pydhonie area last month.

The report pertains to the deaths of Abdullah Dokadia (40), his wife Nasreen Dokadia (35), and their daughters Ayesha (16) and Zainab (13), who died within hours after allegedly consuming watermelon at their residence in Ghari Mohalla on Ismail Kurte Road on April 25.

According to officials, the final medical opinion confirmed the presence of zinc phosphide in samples collected during the postmortem examination. Earlier histopathology, microbiology and forensic science laboratory (FSL) reports had also indicated traces of the poisonous substance in the watermelon samples recovered from the scene.

Despite the medical confirmation, investigators are yet to determine whether the deaths were the result of a collective suicide, accidental poisoning, or a planned murder conspiracy. Even 19 days after the incident, the case remains unresolved and investigators have not reached any final conclusion.

Pavitra Punia Backs Mouni Roy Amid Plastic Surgery Trolls, Slams Online Hate With Bold Message: “Kuch to sharam bachi hogi, ya sirf trolling ki he salary milti hai tum logon ko bhai”

Television actress and former Bigg Boss contestant Pavitra Punia has come out in strong support of actress Mouni Roy, who has recently been targeted by online trolls over alleged plastic surgery rumours. Pavitra directly addressed the negativity circulating on social media and slammed those mocking Mouni for her appearance.

Taking to social media, Pavitra shared a video that featured a photo of Mouni Roy from the premiere of The Devil Wears Prada 2. Through the post, she expressed her anger over how actors are being subjected to constant trolling and baseless assumptions regarding cosmetic procedures.

In the video, Pavitra criticized the trend of “double-meaning” captions and suggested that media pages often fuel such speculation to increase engagement. She also questioned why people feel entitled to comment on actors’ personal choices.

Pavitra strongly reacted to repeated trolling comments about surgery, saying, “Firstly to those who love to troll… saying ‘that they have gotten a surgery done, 500 surgeries they have done, 1 lakh surgeries they have undergone…’ Those 1 lakh were not taken from you, and we don’t come to you for suggestions.”

She further added, “At least some people in the industry still say that yes, we are doing that, and if you want to do that, if your family wants to do that, please go ahead, spend the money and do it. Don’t troll. Just shut up.”

On Wednesday, it was alleged that gunshots were fired outside the residence of Diljit Dosanjh’s manager in Karnal.

A fresh wave of concern has gripped fans of singer-actor Diljit Dosanjh after shots were allegedly fired outside his manager’s residence in Karnal. While the incident sparked anxiety across social media, the matter has now taken a political turn. Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann has claimed that Diljit is being “pressurised” to enter politics.

Bhagwant Mann on Diljit

On Wednesday, it was alleged that gunshots were fired outside the residence of Diljit’s manager, Gurpartap Singh Kang, in Karnal. Later, the Lawrence Bishnoi gang claimed responsibility for the firing. The Haryana police is still investigating the matter.

The police said it has not received any complaint from the manager, Gurpartap Singh Kang, or his family. “There is no information from the family side,” Karnal Superintendent of Police Narendra Bijarniya said.

Bhagwant Mann, while talking to the media on Wednesday, claimed that Diljit’s manager was targeted as the singer had declined to join politics.

In the video, Bhagwant Mann says in Punjabi, “In the last few days, it was heard that Diljit (Dosanjh) was being pressurised by the BJP to enter politics. Diljit has clearly said that he is an artist and enjoys his work. Then, there are other ways (of creating pressure) by shooting at someone’s manager, etc. Such a kind of politics should not be done.”

Bhagwant Mann further claimed that political parties often see huge value in bringing popular celebrities into the political arena. Drawing a comparison with actor-turned-politician Vijay, he suggested that the star’s political rise is closely tied to his massive popularity among fans.

Bhagwant Mann added that, similarly, there are people who want Diljit to step into politics because of his enormous fan following and influence.

Diljit denies any interest in a political career

Last week, Diljit shot down rumours of a possible political career, saying he is “very happy” entertaining people. Punjabi Tribune wrote an article titled ‘Can Diljit Dosanjh be the new political face of Punjab?’ In it, they reported that a group of civil society activists, including retired soldiers and people from various walks of life, made a public appeal to Diljit to enter politics. The group led by retired bureaucrat SS Boparai reportedly wants to see the actor-musician lead, precisely because he never demanded it.

Responding to the post, Diljit turned down the appeal and clarified that he’s happier acting and singing. He wrote on X, “Kadey v Nhi..Mera Kam Entertainment Karna. (Never. My job is to entertain) Am Very Happy in My Field. Thank You So Much.”

The ZEE5 docu-series initially titled Lawrence of Punjab may finally get a release after the Punjab and Haryana High Court suggested changes in its title.

The ZEE5 documentary, initially titled Lawrence of Punjab, may finally get a release, weeks after it was stalled due to a legal case against it. The show, based on the rise of gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, was not released as scheduled in April, after the Centre admitted there were law-and-order concerns if it were streamed.

Remove Lawrence and Punjab from title

On Monday, the Punjab and Haryana High Court set aside the Centre’s advisory against its release, issuing directions to its makers to remove references to “Lawrence” and “Punjab” from its title. The directions came on a plea by Zee Entertainment Enterprises Ltd, which had challenged the Union Ministry of Information and Broadcasting’s advisory.

The petitioner’s counsel, Amit Jhanji, said that neither “Lawrence Bishnoi” nor “Punjab” would be used in the title of the docu-series, thus paving the way for its release.

The High Court also watched the docuseries and observed in its ruling that it did not appear to glorify any individual.

What was the controversy

Lawrence of Punjab was set to release on ZEE5 on April 27. But days before its release, it courted controversy after Punjab Advocate General M S Bedi opposed its release, contending that it could negatively influence youth by normalising organised crime. This followed a case filed by Punjab Congress chief Amrinder Singh Raja Warring, seeking a ban on it.

During the case, the Centre issued an advisory against releasing the docu-series, citing the Punjab Police’s apprehension that it posed a significant risk to public order. The Ministry of I&B noted the potential for such content to evoke strong public reactions and said that the release of the series was likely to heighten tensions and pose adverse law-and-order implications.

It had further pointed out that the Punjab Police has informed that the content contains dramatised portrayals, real-life footage and narrative elements which lead to the glorification and amplification of organised crime and criminal elements.

Film producer Firoz Nadiadwala has filed an FIR at Mumbai’s Amboli police station against Gopala Pillai Vijaykumar and M Paul Michael, alleging cheating and defamation over the copyright of Ramji Rao Speaking, basis of Hera Pheri. Police registered the case on April 27. Nadiadwala claims he legally acquired remake rights in 2000 for ₹4.5 lakh reports.

Film producer Firoz Nadiadwala (62) has filed a complaint at Amboli police station against producers Gopala Pillai Vijaykumar and M. Paul Michael for alleged cheating and defamation over the copyright of the Malayalam film Ramji Rao Speaking, on which Hera Pheri is based. Police registered a case on April 27.

According to the FIR, Nadiadwala, a Juhu resident who operates Empire Studio in Andheri West, invested heavily in Hera Pheri. In 1997, director Priyadarshan brought him the story, after which the film was developed and shot between 1998 and 2000.

Hera Pheri is based on the 1989 Malayalam film produced under M/s Sarga Chitra, where M Paul Michael and Siddique KL alias Lal were partners. The FIR states that remake rights were sold in 1993 to M/s Compact Disc India Limited, from whom Nadiadwala legally acquired rights on March 24, 2000, for Rs4.50 lakh. He obtained copyright for Hindi and other languages, excluding southern languages.

Based on this, Hera Pheri (2000) and Phir Hera Pheri (2006) were made and became commercial successes, with no objections raised for 25 years.

Nadiadwala alleged that in 2000, Michael and Siddique claimed rights and attempted to block the film’s release, even threatening him through intermediaries and demanding money. He filed a complaint with the Commissioner of Mumbai Police on March 21, 2000.

“It is very meaningful for me to be part of this exhibition. This tribute is not just a recognition of his contribution to the film industry. It is about his journey, passion, dedication and immense love for the audience. He always used to say, ‘Film is the way to connect with the heart’. He was very passionate about working in films and being in front of the camera,” she said.

Dharmendra, fondly known as Bollywood’s He-Man, built a legacy that spanned decades, winning millions of hearts with his performances and humility. From powerful action roles to light-hearted comedies and emotional dramas, he was one of the most admired actors of his generation.

The legendary actor passed away on November 24, 2025, days short of his 90th birthday on December 8.

As his life partner, Malini shared a more intimate glimpse into his personality. “As his life partner, I could see how passionate he was. He touched the hearts of millions of people with his wonderful performance and behaviour. He inspired so many people, including the younger generation. As an actor, a friend and a father – he was a great man,” she said.

Hema Malini on Asha Bhosle

The film industry also lost legendary singer Asha Bhosle on April 12 this year. Reflecting on her personal connection with the singer, 77-year-old Hema Malini highlighted how both Asha Bhosle and Lata Mangeshkar significantly shaped her on-screen presence through their timeless songs.

“We have lost a beautiful, great singer with a golden voice. She sang for me as many songs as Lata Ji did for me,” she said.

Filmmaker Santosh Kumar has filed a case accusing Aditya Dhar of ‘stealing’ the plot of Dhurandhar from his script, D-Saheb.

In two separate cases linked to the plagiarism row over Dhurandhar, filmmaker Aditya Dhar secured minor victories on Thursday. First, the Karnataka High Court dismissed a writ petition from filmmaker Santosh Kumar seeking cancellation of the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) certificate granted to Dhurandhar. On the same day, the filmmaker, who has accused Dhar of stealing his script for the film, assured Bombay High Court he will not make ‘defamatory statements’ against the director.

Relief for Aditya Dhar in Dhurandhar plagiarism row

LiveLaw reported that the single judge bench of Justice K S Hemalekha in Karnataka HC equivocally dismissed Santosh’s petition demanding the cancellation of Dhurandhar’s certification on the allegation that the movie was a plagiarised version of the Bengaluru-based screenwriter’s original script titled D-Saheb. The court found no merit in the complaint. Santosh has filed a case demanding damages, alleging that Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar borrows heavily from his original script. The case is still sub judice.

In a separate case filed by Dhar against Santosh over alleged defamation, Santosh assured the Bombay High Court that he would not make defamatory statements against Dhar till the matter is sub judice. The statement was made before Justice Arif Doctor by Kumar’s counsel, who submitted that his client would pursue appropriate legal remedies against Dhar and not make any public statements. When Aditya Dhar’s lawyers demanded an apology for calling him ‘chor’ (thief), Santosh’s legal team refused, saying the complainant believes he is right.

What is the case against Dhurandhar

Dhurandhar was released in December. Starring Ranveer Singh, the spy thriller was a critical and commercial success, minting ₹1300 crore worldwide, and setting a new domestic collection record for Bollywood. The record was broken by its sequel – Dhurandhar: The Revenge – which released in March.

After the release of Dhurandhar 2, Santosh Kumar made the allegations saying that the plot of Dhurandhar 2 was copied from his registered script titled D Saheb. The filmmaker added that his script had been registered with the Screenwriters Association of India (SWA) and thathe would take legal action against Dhar.
