Seven years ago, Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Padmaavat set a new benchmark for cinematic grandeur, bringing history to life with breathtaking visuals, powerful storytelling, and unforgettable performances. Today, the magnum opus returns to the big screen, giving audiences another chance to witness its magic.

To commemorate the re-release, Sanjay Leela Bhansali Productions took to social media, celebrating the film’s enduring legacy and the impact it continues to have on Indian cinema.

Upon its initial release in 2018, Padmaavat amassed an impressive ₹571.98 crore at the box office, becoming the second-highest-grossing film of the year. Every frame of the film— from its stunning opening to its emotionally charged climax—was a visual masterpiece. The film’s larger-than-life storytelling, meticulous attention to detail, and grand scale captivated audiences worldwide.

Kim Kardashian thinks ex-husband Kanye West’s latest social media rant is “disturbing,” a source exclusively tells Page Six.

The SKIMS founder “is staying far away from Kanye at this point and wants nothing to do with his drama.”

West, 47, admitted to having “dominion over [his] wife,” Bianca Censori, 30, in an unhinged, all-caps rant via X Friday morning.

After writing that their relationship isn’t “no woke as[s] feminist s–t,” the Yeezy founder noted, “She’s with a billionaire why would she listen to any of you dumb ass broke bitches.”

“Kim hasn’t read all the messages Kanye posted because it’s not worth her time and energy,” the insider says.

According to our source, the “Kardashians” star, 44, “hasn’t reached out to Kanye at all.”

Reps for Kardashian and West did not immediately respond to Page Six’s requests for comment.

The “Runaway” rapper took to social media and addressed speculation over whether it was Censori’s decision to drop her coat on the Grammys red carpet Sunday and pose for photos in a completely see-through dress.

He wrote, “Yes I don’t make her do nothing she doesn’t want to but she definitely wouldn’t have been able to do it without my approval you stupid woke ass pawns.”

Kardashian and West — who tied the knot in Florence, Italy, in May 2014 — finalized their divorce in November 2022 after the reality star filed to end their marriage the previous February. The exes share four children.

Bollywood actor Sonu Sood, also hailed as the ‘messiah of the helpless’, found himself at the receiving end of a legal notice after his name cropped up during the investigation in a Rs 10 lakh fraud case. An arrest warrant has now been issued against him in Ludhiana in the fraud case.

According to reports, the case has been filed by Ludhiana-based lawyer Rajesh Khanna primarily against one Mohit Shukla, and he claimed that the latter lured him to invest in a fake Rajika coin.

While Sonu’s role in the fraud is yet to be ascertained, according to ANI, he was summoned to testify in court, but he failed to appear. An arrest was then issued against the actor for not adhering to the court’s summons.

“Sonu Sood, has been duly served with summon(s) or warrant(s) but he/she has failed to attend (absconds and keeps out of the way for the purpose of avoiding service of a summon(s) or warrant(s)). You are hereby ordered to arrest and bring the said Sonu Sood before the Court…” the arrest warrant read.

Sonu and his team are yet to release an official statement on the fiasco.

On the work front, Sonu was last seen in the film, Fateh, which also featured Jacqueline Fernandez. The film marked his debut as a director, and is also starred veteran actor Naseeruddin Shah and Vijay Raaz in key roles.

Duchess of Sussex? More like Duchess of Difficult.

Meghan Markle was allegedly nicknamed the “Duchess of Difficult” “for a while,” British journalist Tom Quinn wrote for The London Times on Thursday.

“She could be difficult because she was finding life difficult — trying to feel her way and work out the intricacies of a positively medieval, labyrinthine system,” an anonymous palace staff member reportedly told him.

For example, the former actress reportedly couldn’t understand why King Charles III “was so formal” with his mother, the late Queen Elizabeth II.

“She once said, ‘But they’re mother and son — why are they so completely stiff with each other?’”

Despite the cruel nickname, the insider pointed out that she was also called “Mystic Meg” because she was viewed as “so new agey, so woke, about so many things.”

The source furthered that another issue she had while living as an active member of the royal family from 2018 to 2020 was with “the servants.”

“Through absolutely no fault of her own, Meghan wasn’t always great with her staff — she just wasn’t used to it as Harry was,” they defended, explaining that “one minute she would be really friendly, perhaps overfriendly, hugging staff and trying to make friends with them, and the next she would be irritated by the fact they wouldn’t respond instantly at all times of the day and night.”

Per Quinn, Markle was also viewed as “someone who wanted to get things done and change the status quo.”

For Quinn’s book, “Yes Ma’am: The Secret Life of Royal Servants,” one of Markle’s former staff members recalled her early awkward meetings at Kensington Palace.

“It was extraordinary because she was so confident that you could see she wanted to run the meeting rather than learn about the royal family through the meeting,” the former staffer said.

“I think this was typical of what happened throughout her time at Kensington Palace and then Windsor. She was a great believer in grabbing the bull by the horns — except the royal family is not really a bull.”

Despite her nicknames and alleged attitude, Quinn reported that not all of the staff were anti-Markle.

Many of the ordinary staff liked the fact that she was “very straightforward and matter-of-fact” as a former member of the Kensington Palace communications team described her.

However, the old guard “really had it in for Meghan and, to be fair to her, she really stood up to them.”

The source added, “But, of course, if you make waves in the royal family, the senior royals will always back the courtiers, because in many cases the senior royals have been friends with the courtiers since childhood.”

A spokesperson for the duchess did not reply for comment.

After Markle and Harry quit their royal duties and moved to California in 2020, the “Suits” actress was accused of bullying staff members, something she has vehemently denied.

In his scathing piece, Quinn also reported that Prince William felt particularly “uncomfortable” with Markle because she was too affectionate.

Despite initially getting along, tensions reportedly began to rise due to her “warm, friendly, hug-everyone approach,” which caused William and even Charles to “flinch” at times.

Allu Arjun’s Pushpa 2: The Rule created a frenzy among Indian audiences, and now that the film has been released on OTT, even international fans and film enthusiasts have taken to social media to share their views on its action sequences. While some praised the high-octane scenes, others mocked them and called them ‘fake’.

US audience praise Pushpa 2 action scene

On Tuesday, an X user (formerly Twitter) shared an action scene from Pushpa 2: The Rule, in which Allu Arjun, clad in a saree, takes down goons with sheer force. The US audience had mixed reactions to the sequence.

Praising the scene, one fan wrote, “You know… I don’t mind the bad physics if it looks this cool. Great scene!” Another commented, “Damn, Hollywood could never!” A third added, “Better than some modern US movies.” One user even quipped, “Marvel has been lacking this creativity. They have the budget.”

Criticism

However, not everyone was impressed. Some poked fun at the exaggerated action, with one user joking, “How does he fly so high without wings?” Another commented, “Is he a superhero or something?” A different user remarked, “Reminds me of kung fu movies where physics take a vacation.” Another quipped, “They have perfected live-action anime!” Some even dismissed it outright, with one stating, “This looks so fake.”

The much-talked-about Jathara sequence, in which Allu Arjun wears a saree, performs a powerful dance, and then fights off attackers, set the big screens on fire in India. Fans called it the highlight of the film.

The audience will see a different avatar of Chitrangda Singh in one of the most intriguing series of the year, Khakee: The Bengal Chapter. The official announcement of the project was made during Netflix’s Slate event in Mumbai. Helmed by Neeraj Pandey, the gripping crime thriller also stars Jeet, Prosenjit Chatterjee, Saswata Chatterjee, Parambrata Chattopadhyay and Pooja Chopra in key roles.

Opening up about her role, the experience of working with Neeraj Pandey and why this project feels like a homecoming, Chitrangda said, “This is the first time I’m doing a web series. It’s my OTT debut, and that too on Netflix—so it’s pretty huge. The fact that I get to work with Neeraj Pandey is incredible, and considering how Khakee: The Bihar Chapter became a massive success, being part of Khakee: The Bengal Chapter feels surreal.”

“I haven’t done a genre like this in a long time, so it feels like going back to my first film in many ways. This story explores the murky underbelly of Calcutta’s political landscape, and the narrative is packed with intrigue. My character is deeply human, flawed, and complex—I loved playing her, and I’m thrilled to step into the OTT space finally,” added Chitrangda.

Known for her impeccable acting and remarkable role choices, Chitrangda has always impressed audiences with her powerful performances. With every character she portrays, she brings strength and depth and in Khakee: The Bengal Chapter, she continues to make a lasting impressio.

Raj Kapoor, the executive producer of the 2025 Grammys, said there are “standards” at the awards show — and Bianca Censori and Kanye West surely didn’t meet them.

On Tuesday, Kapoor told People that guests are meant to follow an “artistic black-tie” dress code, adding, “but in the music industry, I guess that’s up for interpretation.”

Kapoor said there are different “standards” for attendees based on their relation to the show — West, 47, was notably nominated for best rap song but did not perform.

“Obviously there is a dress code for anybody actually performing on the show that we have to adhere to standards and practices,” he told the outlet. “But as far as people attending and nominees attending, that would be something the [Recording] Academy would have to answer.”

While the Academy has not publicly shared their exact wardrobe rules, CBS issued a “wardrobe advisory” in 2013 stating that “buttocks and female breasts” should be “adequately covered” at the event.

In the statement, obtained by Deadline, they asked that “all talent appearing on camera” — including “audience members” — “please adhere to Network policy concerning wardrobe.”

They asked guests to avoid “sheer” or “see-through” clothing that “could possibly expose female breast nipples” and the exposure of “bare fleshy under curves of the buttock and buttock crack.”

They also required that the “genital region is adequately covered so that there is no visible ‘puffy’ bare skin exposure.”

However, Censori’s barely-there outfit broke nearly all the “rules.”

The former Yeezy architect, 30, walked the red carpet in a completely see-through minidress seemingly crafted from sheer stockings. Censori left very little to the imagination in the daring design, opting to forgo any undergarments.

While she arrived in a black fur coat, she quickly removed the garment after West allegedly told her to start “making a scene,” according to a lip reader.

“Drop it behind you and then turn, I got you,” he allegedly said, to which she replied, “All right, let’s go.”

We’re told the couple was attempting to recreate the rapper’s “Vultures 1” album cover — in which Censori posed topless in nothing but thigh-high boots and a small piece of fabric on her backside.

However, the couple left after walking the red carpet and did not attend the actual awards ceremony, instead celebrating at a private afterparty.

The legendary fashion designer passed away on November 1 last year. Sonam Kapoor, Ananya Panday, Kareena Kapoor, and many more celebs took to social media to mourn the death of the celebrated designer.
Today, as Sonam walked the ramp, she remembered her friend and late fashion designer and broke down. The videos and pictures from the fashion show of Sonam breaking down are going viral on social media.

Singer Udit Narayan has been facing massive backlash online ever since a video went viral of him kissing female fans at a live concert. Reacting to the controversy, the singer told Hindustan Times, “Fans itne deewane hote hain na. Hum log aise nahi hain, hum decent log hain. Some people encourage this and show their love through this. Udaake kya karna hai ab iss cheez ko? There are so many people in the crowd, and we have bodyguards present too. But fans think they are getting a chance to meet, so someone extends their hands for a handshake, some kiss the hands… yeh sab deewangi hoti hai. Uspe itna dhyaan nahi dena chahiye.”

In a recent chat with Bollywood Hungama, Zahan Kapoor opened up about his childhood memories with his grandfather Shashi Kapoor. Zahan said he didn’t realize as a child that his grandfather was a superstar. He said, “It’s so funny and I really consider that a blessing. I did not know. I remember there was a time when I was young and I had no idea; one day I came home and I think Amitabh Bachchan sir was at home. I remember he was clean-shaven at the time, so it was ’90s and I remember coming in and being like ‘hain’. I didn’t understand it also at the time. Dadaji said, ‘Namaste karo’ and then, ‘Haan, theek hai, jao.'”

Ashneer Grover, who appeared as a guest on Salman Khan-hosted reality show Bigg Boss 18 in November 2024, has hit back at the superstar for grilling him on the show. A viral video shows Ashneer saying, “Faltu ka panga leke apna competition khada kiya usne. Main toh shanti se gaya tha jab mereko bulaya. Ab drama create karna ke liye aap kisiko bol do, arey main toh aapse mila hi nahi. I don’t even know your name. Abey naam nahi jaanta toh bulaaya kyun tha? (He created unnecessary competition by picking a fight. I had gone peacefully when I was called. And now, to create drama, he’s telling everyone, ‘Oh, I never even met you. I don’t even know your name.’ If you didn’t know my name, then why did you call me?).”

Ankita Lokhande and her husband, Vicky Jain, recently appeared on Elvish Yadav’s podcast when they talked about groupism in Bollywood. During their conversation, the YouTuber and Bigg Boss OTT 2 winner asked if the film industry is biased towards some people. Ankita explained that even though people aren’t biased, they prefer working with those they already know. Elvish interrupted her in between and took a dig at Karan Johar. “Karan Johar ko aisa mat bolo,” he said. However, as soon as Elvish took KJo’s name, Ankita quickly replied, “Everyone is like that, not just Karan. I think everyone has their own group.”
