EXCLUSIVE: Nikita Dutta reveals Gold didn’t work out for her, later Kabir Singh changed everything; recalls how Sandeep Reddy Vanga spotted her — and it has a Zoya Akhtar connection!
Actress Nikita Dutta, who recently marked 10 years in the industry, reflected on her turning points and the unexpected path that has shaped her film journey. In an exclusive conversation with Bollywood Hungama, the actress spoke about the period between Gold (2018) and Kabir Singh (2019), calling it a mix of uncertainty, patience, and a little bit of luck.
“When I signed Gold, I thought things would be easier for me,” she said, recalling her mindset before the film’s release. “I had actually signed Gold before my third TV show Haasil, which was made by Siddharth Malhotra, who is a film director, and starred Zayed Khan, a film actor. So, I knew it was a short TV show. I entered with the thought that I have Gold, which I was shooting for simultaneously, and it’s going to be released in 2018. Haasil was temporary — it was going to pay all my bills until Gold released. Then Gold came out, and it didn’t really give me the result I expected it would.”
Despite the setback, Dutta shared that things took a positive turn soon after. “By God’s grace, as I said, you never know when you get lucky — Kabir Singh happened, and that just changed things completely.”
Recounting her first meeting with director Sandeep Reddy Vanga, she said, “The first day I met him for Kabir Singh, he literally told me, ‘This is your part. Are you okay with it?’ I said yes. Whatever I shot for Kabir Singh is there in the film and the song. Nothing more was promised to me, and I really respect that kind of transparency.”
Interestingly, Dutta revealed that her role in Kabir Singh stemmed from a cameo appearance in Lust Stories. “He actually spotted me in Lust Stories, where I did a cameo. I had only done that cameo because I was shooting for Gold. I’m a huge fan of Zoya Akhtar, so I think with the greed of just being on a Zoya Akhtar set, I said yes to it,” she smiled.

Ace designer and stylist Manish Malhotra takes his boldest step yet by entering the niche of film production with Stage5 Production. Gustaakh Ishq - Kucch Pehle Jaisa marks his maiden cinematic production, and through this, he brings back the charm of classic poetic love with Naseeruddin Shah, Vijay Varma, Fatima Sana Shaikh, and Sharib Hashmi as the creative cast!
During the recently held trailer launch event, Manish Malhotra revealed his inspiration behind producing Gustaakh Ishq and also shared his views about taking creative risks with the film.
Speaking about stepping into the production space with Stage5 Production, Manish Malhotra shared, “Production house is my thing. It’s intimate; maybe the audience of today will relate to it, and I understand the people of today. I feel that classic, timeless love se har koi relate karega,” and added, “I wanted to start an independent production, not what people would expect out of me.”
For Manish, the aim was to produce a film that exuded love in its simplicity, with soulful music, poetry and clean romance. Speaking about his inspiration, he shared. “I love RD Burman, Gulzar sahab - their music and their work in movies. Jab pehle romance itna tha, log question nahi karte the. They would just be accepting it and fondly watching it. And I’ve been that person who has fondly watched it.”
He added, “I think aajkal hum romance nahi dekhte. Aajkal simplicity, purity, music, wo sab nahi dekhte. And I think Gustaakh Ishq me wo sab kuch hai, including emotions, music and clean romance. When I heard the script, mujhe iski duniya bahot achi lagi, it’s really beautiful. When you see the film, you’ll feel beautiful and that is very important for me. For my beginning as a producer, I felt I should start with a beautiful and classic world.”
Manish also opened up about taking creative risks with the film. “Mujhe aisa kuch risk laga nahi because ye darr nahi hai ki ye film kitni chalegi, kitne collections honge, kitne nahi honge, whether there will be profit or loss. Since our childhood, me and my brother Dinesh Malhotra have wished to become producers. And I only hope that it carries on because we want to continue to make films irrespective of anything. Bass ye hai ke achi scripts aati rahe jisse hum excite ho so we can make them with sincerity and honesty.”
Through Gustaakh Ishq, Manish Malhotra begins a new chapter as a producer under Stage5 Production - with a poetic love story that seamlessly blends classic storytelling while embracing the future of Indian cinema. Produced alongside his brother Dinesh Malhotra, Gustaakh Ishq is directed by Vibhu Puri, and it unfolds as a poignant tale of passion and unspoken desire, set amidst the bylanes of Purani Dilli and the fading kothis of Punjab. The film releases in theatres on November 28.

read moreKajol shares a powerful perspective on how women are redefining marriage: "Marriage doesn't stop a woman's growth anymore"
In the latest episode of Two Much with Kajol and Twinkle, featuring Vicky Kaushal and Kriti Sanon, the discussion turned toward one of society’s longest-standing ideas — how marriage is often viewed differently for men and women. While men are typically encouraged to marry once they’re “settled,” women are still subtly told that marriage might mark a slowdown in their personal or professional lives.
Kajol, known for her honesty and thoughtful opinions, shared a perspective that was both practical and empowering. She highlighted that marriage, when built on equality, is truly about partnership — and that the belief that women lose their individuality or ambition after marriage is changing, largely because women themselves are redefining what marriage means.
“It has to do with the person themselves — with the women themselves. I know a lot of women who have gotten married and have not slowed down at all. In fact, they’ve taken it to another level — gone forward, gotten a promotion, had kids, and decided to live in another city,” Kajol said.
Her words reflected the changing mindset of modern women, who are finding ways to balance personal growth and partnership. Kajol further explained that much of this shift comes from women’s evolving expectations — both of themselves and their relationships. “I think it has to do with the women also, somewhere down the line — their expectations of themselves. Obviously, they have expectations of what they’re ‘supposed to be,’ as well as what they can be. I think those are two different subjects altogether. And in this day and age, women are definitely looking at marriage as a partnership. Yes, I will definitely be a daughter-in-law, a part of your family — but you will also be a part of mine,” she said.
Kajol’s words resonate deeply in a time when many women are rewriting old ideas of success, independence, and companionship. Her reflections serve as a reminder that marriage today is not a finish line or a milestone to be achieved but a shared journey built on mutual respect and understanding — one where women continue to define their own paths.

Dhanush and Kriti Sanon are set to captivate audiences with their upcoming musical love story, Tere Ishk Mein, directed by Aanand L. Rai and produced by Bhushan Kumar. The film hits theatres on 28th November 2025. To mark the beginning of its musical journey, Amazon Music India, in collaboration with T-Series and Colour Yellow Productions, hosted an exclusive album launch at the Royal Opera House. The evening celebrated love and music, with the presence of A. R. Rahman, Aanand L. Rai, Bhushan Kumar, Dhanush, Kriti Sanon, and singers Shilpa Rao and Sukhwinder Singh.
The event featured A. R. Rahman taking center stage as he unveiled all the tracks from Tere Ishk Mein in a captivating live performance alongside the Sunshine Orchestra. From the soulful title track with Shilpa Rao to the upbeat ‘Jigar Dhanda,’ the tender ‘Usey Kehna’ with Nitesh, the high-energy “UPSC” with Sukhwinder Singh, and the moving ‘Deewana’ performed by Rahman himself each song reflected a unique shade of love and emotion. The album beautifully weaves melody with feeling, showcasing Rahman’s signature ability to turn emotion into timeless music.
Kriti Sanon said, “Tere Ishk Mein is a story that truly moved me from the very beginning. It’s passionate, emotional and deeply musical, and every scene feels alive because of A. R. Rahman Sir’s incredible soundtrack. Working with Aanand L Rai and Dhanush has been such a beautiful experience; their energy and sensitivity towards storytelling made this journey unforgettable. I’m so excited for audiences to feel the love, pain and magic that this film holds.”
Talking about the music of the film, music maestro A. R. Rahman said, “Our journey started with Raanjhanaa, continued with Atrangi Re, and now, the journey reaches Tere Ishk Mein. As the lineage carries forward, with it, the music must evolve, connecting the soul of these stories while reinventing itself each time. With Tere Ishk Mein, we present a soundtrack of nine heartfelt tracks, crafted with passion, creativity, and love. We’ve poured our hearts into this album, and hope it resonates with the audience. A huge thanks to Irshad Kamil, Aanand L Rai, Himanshu, Bhushan and all our incredible singers and my musicians who’ve brought this music to life.”
Further talking about the film and its music, visionary director Aanand L Rai added, “Tere Ishk Mein is a story that comes straight from the heart. It’s about love in its rawest, most vulnerable form, and the choices people make for what they believe in. Rahman sir understood those emotions in a way only he can, and each of his compositions gave voice to those emotions while Irshad Saab’s writing gave them a language. What Rahman sir created, what Irshad Saab penned, and what Bhushan believed in, came from the space Dhanush and Kriti built together. Every song, every frame carries a piece of that shared passion.”
“Music has always been the soul of our stories, and with Tere Ishk Mein, A. R. Rahman has given an album that speaks straight to the heart. Each song is born from Rahman Sir’s genius, pulling you deeper into the world of emotion, love, and longing. Under Aanand L Rai’s direction, every melody breathes life into the film, making each song feel personal. The album sure is an experience that will stay with audiences long after the film ends.” Producer Bhushan Kumar added.
Sharing his thoughts on the collaboration, Rishabh Gupta, Country Head of Amazon Music India, said, “We’re delighted to partner on the launch of Tere Ishk Mein, a film and album that beautifully captures the essence of love and music. Collaborating with A. R. Rahman, Aanand L Rai and T-Series on such a soulful project is truly special, and we’re excited for listeners to experience its magic.”
Gulshan Kumar, T-Series, and Colour Yellow present Tere Ishk Mein, produced by Aanand L Rai and Himanshu Sharma, along with Bhushan Kumar and Krishan Kumar. Directed by Aanand L Rai and written by Himanshu Sharma and Neeraj Yadav, the film is an A.R. Rahman musical with lyrics by Irshad Kamil. Starring Dhanush and Kriti Sanon, Tere Ishk Mein is set to release worldwide in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu on 28th November 2025.

Actress Nikita Dutta, who recently marked a decade in the entertainment industry, opened up about her early days as an aspiring actor in an exclusive conversation with Bollywood Hungama. Reflecting on her journey from beauty pageants to films and television, she candidly recalled the logistical challenges and learning curve that shaped her as an artist.
Sharing how her initial years were filled with trials and small victories, Nikita said, “I used to live in Colaba back in the day, and all the auditions basically happened in Andheri, Aaram Nagar. In my initial days, firstly, I thought my bubble of living in Colaba had busted. I didn’t know what life was really like outside. I had not really crossed the ceiling too many times.”
She added, “When you’re sitting there, you see people from all parts of the country. I used to come back feeling I have a lot more to be thankful about in life. Thirdly, I used to really struggle with my food. So those kinds of logistical issues used to be there — you come back home after a long day and you didn’t even get the part. So I would really club two-three things together and then make my field trip to Andheri.”
Despite the hurdles, Nikita shared that she found stability early on in her career. “I think I have been a little fortunate in that case. In my first year of getting out of Miss India, I had a job in my hand. I was working with Zoom. I knew there was something on the side that was happening for me. I had a monthly source of income coming in, and I knew I didn’t have to do things that didn’t give me the satisfaction of being in front of the camera. I had that security, and it worked for me.”
Quoting something she once heard from Shah Rukh Khan, she added, “I heard Shah Rukh saying in an interview where he said, ‘Your passion is one thing and you should not get so blind — be more realistic. Be philosophical, but first get rich.’”
Nikita Dutta is an Indian actress who primarily works in Hindi films and television. After participating in Femina Miss India 2012, she made her acting debut with the romantic drama Lekar Hum Deewana Dil (2014). Dutta made her television debut with Dream Girl (2015) and achieved recognition with Ek Duje Ke Vaaste (2016).

After winning hearts with ‘Chale Aana’ in De De Pyaar De, Armaan Malik returns to the franchise with yet another soulful track ‘Aakhri Salaam.’ Featured in De De Pyaar De 2, the song delves into a deeper, more mature exploration of love, longing, and closure, capturing the emotional essence of relationships that evolve with time.
Speaking about the track, Armaan shared, “Aakhri Salaam has a very different emotional core. It isn’t just about love; it’s about closure, acceptance, and the quiet dignity of letting go. The song feels like a conversation with oneself, where the heart finally learns to make peace with what it has lost. When I sang ‘Chale Aana’in the first De De Pyaar De, it was about longing and the ache of separation. ‘Aakhri Salaam’ carries that same vulnerability but with a deeper sense of maturity. It’s less about pain and more about reflection. I think that’s what makes it special it feels personal, yet extremely universal.”
With his signature emotive voice and nuanced delivery, Armaan once again captures the bittersweet beauty of love and loss. Aakhri Salaam adds another heartfelt chapter to his long list of memorable romantic ballads.

Veteran costume designer Ashley Rebello, known for styling some of Bollywood’s biggest stars across more than 100 films, recently opened up about the challenges of working with limited budgets in filmmaking. Currently being lauded for his work in the recently released film Haq, Ashley shared insights from his decades-long career during an exclusive conversation with Bollywood Hungama.
Speaking about how budgets impact costume design, Ashley explained, “It does a lot. Because the more the budget you get, the more the research you can do, the more you can work on each individual piece. You can work on lots of things, you know. So it helps a lot if you're given a free hand. Most of the time they give you a very, very tight budget, so it becomes difficult — but you manage.”
Recalling one of his most challenging projects, Ashley revealed how he managed to design costumes for Madhur Bhandarkar’s Chandni Bar on an extremely limited budget. “I remember doing Chandni Bar. I was given Rs. 50,000 for the full film. And I was like, how can I finish the costume for it?” he said.
Reflecting on that experience with a laugh, he added, “It was a huge challenge. Don’t even ask me how I did it. When I look back, I’m like, Ashley, how did you do it? Begged, borrowed, stole — that’s what you do. Begging was more, borrowing was less. Stealing, of course, no — but going to people’s houses, asking for their old clothes, making things look authentic, even getting things hand-painted from friends for free… that was a big challenge.”

read moreThe Family Man 3 gears up for a power-packed season as Raj & DK bring Manoj Bajpayee and Jaideep Ahlawat together
The wait for fans is finally over — Srikant Tiwari is back. Prime Video’s globally acclaimed series The Family Man returns with its third season, promising higher stakes, deeper emotions, and the ultimate test for everyone’s favourite intelligence officer. The new chapter marks another milestone for creators Raj & DK, the visionary duo behind acclaimed titles like Farzi and Citadel: Honey Bunny.
Season 3 of The Family Man takes the story eastward, introducing new challenges and a fresh setting that deepens the show’s trademark realism. Speaking about the long-anticipated arc, Krishna DK shared, “It’s been building up for a while, and we’ve put our hearts into it. We had already announced at the end of season two that the North-East is where we want to go with the next season. So, we were clear about that. The location, the people, and the culture are all part of the DNA of the show, whichever season you pick. Nagaland, Arunachal Pradesh, and all these places in season three — you need that energy from the place.”
This shift in geography reflects the series’ continued effort to ground national-level threats in authentic Indian backdrops. The new terrain adds a layer of unpredictability and cultural richness to Srikant’s journey.
What truly raises anticipation this season, however, is the intense face-off between two powerhouse performers — Manoj Bajpayee and Jaideep Ahlawat. Confirming the central conflict, Raj revealed, “Manoj and Jaideep are coming together — two stalwarts of Indian cinema. Really top actors.”
Jaideep’s character, Rukma, serves as a formidable antagonist — a dark mirror to Srikant Tiwari. Raj explained, “Rukma became the main character, the main antagonist, where he is almost the opposite of Srikant; he also has a girlfriend and a kid — a sort of ‘non-family’ family.” This complex rivalry is set to push Srikant beyond his limits, both as an agent and as a family man.
With Raj & DK’s signature mix of action, emotion, and grounded humour, The Family Man Season 3 promises to be more than just another thrilling installment. It’s a cultural moment that blends adrenaline with heart. Featuring returning favourites like Sharib Hashmi (JK) and Priyamani (Suchitra), along with the powerful new dynamic between Srikant and Rukma, the new season is shaping up to be one of the most compelling yet.
The Family Man Season 3 begins streaming globally on Prime Video from November 21.

Farah Khan opened up in a recent episode of the YouTube chat show Serving It Up with Sania talks about the emotional turbulence faced by her longtime friend, tennis star Sania Mirza, in the wake of her divorce from cricketer Shoaib Malik. The pair had announced the end of their 14-year marriage in January 2024.
Farah recalled a particularly alarming moment when Sania suffered a panic attack before going live on a show. “I had never seen you have a panic attack. I got so scared,” Farah said, describing how she rushed to the set in her pajamas and slippers to support Sania. Meanwhile Sania shared a vivid memory from the same moment: “I was shivering… If you hadn’t come, I wouldn’t have done that show.”
In the conversation, Farah acknowledged the challenge of being a single mother, telling Sania, “You are now a single mother. Nothing is more difficult than that.” Sania admitted that juggling motherhood, her studies and professional commitments left her emotionally drained.
The discussion sheds light on the often unseen mental and emotional strain behind high-profile personal lives. The divorce statement released by Sania’s sister in January 2024 revealed that the couple had been living separately for months and asked for privacy for the family. Farah’s revelation draws attention to how public figures may privately cope with immense pressure while maintaining a strong outward persona.
This candid sharing by both friends not only shines a spotlight on Sania’s resilience but also underscores the importance of support systems during challenging life transitions.

read moreWeb Series Review: DELHI CRIME SEASON 3 does justice to the show and works due to a gripping narrative
Star Cast: Shefali Shah, Rasika Dugal, Huma Qureshi, Sayani Gupta
Director: Tanuj Chopra
Synopsis: DELHI CRIME: SEASON 3 is the story of human trafficking. DSP Vartika Chaturvedi (Shefali Shah) has been transferred to Silchar, Assam. She gets a tip of an illegal consignment being transported across the state. The truck, containing the consignment, is nabbed by the police. Vartika is shocked as the truck consists of several girls who are being trafficked to Delhi. The arrested driver of the vehicle blurts out to the cops that another truck, also containing girls, has left for Delhi. In Delhi, ACP Neeti Singh (Rasika Dugal) is informed that a severely injured 2-year-old girl, Noor, has been admitted to AIIMS. A young lady, Khushi (Aditi Subedi), brings Noor to the hospital and then runs away. Neeti and her team soon learn that Khushi is a minor and in a relationship with a man named Rahul (Anshumaan Pushkar). Rahul also emerges as a suspect in the case of the trafficked girls. Realizing that the two cases are linked, Vartika returns to Delhi to find out where the other set of trafficked girls is holed up. The cops simply know that the mastermind behind it is a woman named Badi Didi (Huma Qureshi), but they are struggling to find out her name, location and profession. What happens next forms the rest of the series
Delhi Crime: Season 3 Story Review: Tanuj Chopra, Mayank Tewari, Anu Singh Choudhary, Shubra Swarup, Apoorva Bakshi and Michael Hogan's story is in sync with the theme of the show. Tanuj Chopra, Mayank Tewari, Anu Singh Choudhary, Shubra Swarup, Apoorva Bakshi and Michael Hogan's screenplay is pacy. Something or the other is happening every moment and this keeps not just the characters but even the viewers on the edge. The writing does falter in some places, though. Anu Singh Choudhary's dialogues are hard-hitting and conversational.
Tanuj Chopra's direction is supreme. The makers take up a disturbing case and yet again, they handle it sensitively. The narrative is simple. The way the plot begins in Assam and with Baby Noor and the way it later connects to the Badi Didi case is praiseworthy. The modus operandi of Badi Didi and the manner in which she lures young girls is seen to be believed. Though the show is called DELHI CRIME, the story travels to various states this time and it adds to the entertainment value. The best is reserved for the finale and is nail-biting.
On the flipside, the show moves at a slow pace in some places initially. The entire angle of Rajesh Tailang coming face-to-face with Vijay (Sano Di Nesh) and getting his sketch made is a bit confusing. The makers should have explained better what went wrong. The casting of Khushi also raises questions, as she doesn't look that young. Lastly, the Rohtak investigation track is captivating, but it's strange that the cops broke open the door of the marriage bureau and yet, the makers don't show Badi Didi reacting to it or talking about it. Agreed that the antagonist was busy supplying girls to Kelly Dorji and the stakes were high. However, she was close to blowing her cover completely and yet, she just doesn’t care about it.
Delhi Crime: Season 3 Performances: It's a pleasure to watch Shefali Shah in this role. She owns it and gives it a lot of gravitas. Rasika Dugal, too, rocks the show. Her assertive stand while delegating, and the way she turns into the novice we saw in Season 1 in Vartika's presence, are neatly balanced and handled by the actor. Huma Qureshi is outstanding as the antagonist. The viewers will be disgusted by her and that makes her performance a success. Sayani Gupta (Kusum) comparatively has less screen time but makes her presence felt. Mita Vashisht (Kalyani) steals the show. She’s there for just two episodes, but the way she essays her part is truly remarkable. Watch out for her in the interrogation and the court scene. Class act! Anshumaan Pushkar is quite good, Yukti Thareja (Simran Masih) is a great find while Rajesh Tailang (Bhupendra Singh) is lovely as always. Aditi Subedi looks older for her part but performance-wise, she is first-rate. Anuraag Arora (Jairaj) and Jaya Bhattacharya (Vimla) are dependable. Gopal Datt (Sudhir) is nice, but this time, he is hardly there. The same applies to Yashaswini R Dayama (Chandni). Sidharth Bhardwaj (Subhash Gupta), Namash Bhardwaj (Ashutosh), Denzil Smith (Vishal Chaturvedi) and Aakash Dahiya (Devinder) are fair. Kelly Dorji (John Gupta) is aptly cast. The others who do well are Sano Di Nesh, Celesti Bairagey (Sonam), Suman Patel (Shabnam) and Max Scheytt (London).
Delhi Crime: Season 3 music and other technical aspects: DELHI CRIME: SEASON 3 is a song-less show. Ceiri Torjussen's background score adds to the tension. Johan Aidt and Eric Wunder Lin's cinematography is gritty. Sunil Rodrigues's action and Akash Gautam's production design are realistic. Kirti Kolwankar and Maria Tharakan's costumes are appropriate for the various characters shown in the show. Antara Lahiri, Manas Mittal and Parikshit Jha's editing is slick.
Delhi Crime: Season 3 Review Conclusion: On the whole, DELHI CRIME: SEASON 3 does justice to the theme of the show and works due to its gripping narrative, sensitive treatment and powerhouse performances. Despite a few rough edges, it remains a hard-hitting, immersive season and further consolidates the franchise’s reputation as one of India’s finest crime dramas.

read moreR Madhavan on how perceptions of Indian men abroad have changed: “Now white women approach Indian men thinking they’re entrepreneurs”
Actor R Madhavan recently reflected on how perceptions of Indian men abroad have changed over the years, joking that today white women are more likely to approach them, assuming they are entrepreneurs rather than flirtatious.
Madhavan Shares Observations on Changing Perceptions
Madhavan spoke about this during his appearance on BookMyShow’s Unscripted YouTube show, joined by his De De Pyaar De 2 co-stars Ajay Devgn, Rakul Preet Singh, and Meezaan Jafri.
He recalled, “A few years ago, when we used to go abroad and go to a bar, all the white women would look at us like we were there to hit on them. Now, it’s such that when an Indian enters a space, four white women walk up thinking we are entrepreneurs and want to say hello. I have not seen that Indian in the movies yet.”
Madhavan also spoke about his desire to collaborate with new directors, blending his years of experience with fresh and refined storytelling approaches. “The thing that is getting in my way right now is the filmyness of the industry — the way they think. They are making stories to please their mentors,” he said.

Veteran filmmaker Mukesh Bhatt recently opened up about his strained relationship with brother Mahesh Bhatt and the emotional distance that has extended to the younger generation of their family. In a recent conversation with Lehren Retro, Mukesh revealed that he was not invited to his niece Alia Bhatt’s wedding to Ranbir Kapoor and admitted that he hasn’t met their daughter, Raha, either.
Talking about his absence from Alia’s wedding, Mukesh candidly shared, “I will be a hypocrite if I say I didn’t feel bad. Of course, I felt bad. I love Alia a lot and not just her, even Shaheen. So when she got married, I thought meri bacchi ki shaadi hai (my daughter is getting married). I was very much wanting to be there.”
The producer went on to say that he has never met Alia and Ranbir’s three-year-old daughter, Raha. Expressing his longing, he said, “When I got to know that Alia is pregnant and then she had a baby, meri aankhein taras gayi Raha ko dekhne ke liye (my eyes yearn to see Raha). I love kids a lot.”
Despite the distance, Mukesh clarified that he chose not to reach out to avoid creating an uncomfortable situation for Alia. “I didn’t even try because I didn’t want to put her in a position of discomfort. I didn’t want to put her in a position where she had to see how will her father feel if I come and meet her,” he explained.
Concluding on a heartfelt note, he added that his affection and blessings remain unchanged. “Maine dil se dua de di (I blessed them from my heart),” he said.
For context, the Bhatt brothers—Mahesh and Mukesh—co-founded Vishesh Films and delivered several notable hits together. However, their professional and personal relationship soured over time, and in 2021, Mukesh officially took charge of the banner, announcing that Mahesh would no longer be part of its future projects.

read moreEXCLUSIVE: Nikita Dutta says she learned acting “from zero,” worked “14–15 hours a day, 63 days straight without an off;” recalls being around “genius-level people”
Actress Nikita Dutta looked back at her decade-long journey in the entertainment industry during an exclusive conversation with Bollywood Hungama. Marking 10 years since her debut, Dutta spoke candidly about entering acting without any formal training and the unconventional way she learned her craft.
“When I started acting, I was actually somebody who had taken zero acting lessons or workshops in my life,” she revealed. “I was directly on a television set where I was acting 14–15 hours a day, 63 days at a stretch without an off. As difficult and brutal as it sounds, I feel I picked up a lot of my art from this entire setup.”
Dutta, who began her career with television before transitioning to films and streaming projects, shared that her early years on set became her classroom. “Being on a set, being in front of the camera every single day is where I learned how to act,” she explained. “I used to be around people who had actually come from the New York Film Academy and had learned acting. They would talk about films and performances every time we came out of a film. I would feel so out of place thinking, ‘Oh my god, these are all genius-level people and what am I doing here having done nothing?’”
Reflecting on how her perspective evolved, she added, “I realised none of them are working today, unfortunately. But whatever I managed to pick up was by just being in front of the camera. I always tell people this is not a medium where you can learn — you just need to keep practising.”
Over the years, Nikita has worked across television, films, and streaming platforms, balancing diverse roles and genres. Her last release was Jewel Thief, which was a direct-to-OTT release.

Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor have officially moved into their sprawling new six-storey residence in Mumbai’s Pali Hill area a home they’ve named “Krishna Raj”. During a recent event in Dubai, Alia shared with the audience, “Coming to Dubai feels like a homecoming. This visit comes from a very personal space as we have just moved into our new home in Mumbai.”
The couple’s new address occupies the former residence of legendary filmmaker Raj Kapoor’s grandmother, Krishna Raj Kapoor, lending the house both legacy and grandeur. The grey-coloured structure, complete with glass-balconies, has quickly become one of Mumbai’s most talked-about homes.
When asked about his social-media presence, Ranbir confirmed that he maintains a private “finsta” (fake Instagram account) to observe content quietly. “There are such amazing people in the world who do such amazing work and I do watch and follow them. But because I am an actor I do not officially want to be on Instagram as then I will have a responsibility to really show myself to the world. But I felt that I already have a medium, which is through acting and in movies, and that’s enough to show myself to the worlds.”
Alia added a sweet personal detail on that private account, “Ranbir has “just two reels, both featuring him playing with his daughter Raha. He has zero followers, he doesn’t even let me follow him, and he manually shows me the clips instead. Once I follow him, then it’ll be out that I have an Instagram account.”
The reveal offers a glimpse into the couple’s more private world the new home they’re building, and the family-first approach they’re maintaining to social media and public life.

Nawazuddin Siddiqui recently opened up about a difficult phase early in his acting journey when his father asked him not to return home because he was tired of watching his son get beaten up on screen. The actor shared the story during a conversation with Raj Shamani on his podcast, reflecting on how those early roles shaped both his career and personal life.
Nawazuddin Siddiqui on His Father’s Reaction to His Early Roles
Speaking about his early films, Nawazuddin recalled, “In the beginning, I was always getting beaten up in movies. In Sarfarosh, my first film, I was beaten. The same thing happened in Munna Bhai MBBS. I often played thieves or pickpockets — always on the receiving end. People from my village would tell my father, ‘Your son always gets beaten in films,’ and he would get very upset.”
He went on to explain that his father, who came from Western Uttar Pradesh, was a man of great pride. “He once asked me, ‘Why do you keep doing such roles?’ I told him, ‘I don’t get anything else; I’m trying.’ Then he said, ‘Stop coming home after getting beaten up.’ I was so hurt that I didn’t visit my village for three years,” the actor revealed.
How Gangs of Wasseypur Brought Acceptance
Things changed after Anurag Kashyap’s Gangs of Wasseypur, which became a turning point in Nawazuddin’s career. The film not only made him a household name but also earned him his father’s long-awaited approval. “After the film, I went back to my village and asked my father, ‘So, what do you think now?’ He smiled and said, ‘Yes, this time you did a good job,’” Nawazuddin recalled fondly.
The actor was last seen in Thamma, alongside Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna.
Nawazuddin Siddiqui reflected on how his early years in the film industry were marked by small, often overlooked roles that frustrated his father. It was Gangs of Wasseypur that finally changed everything — earning him both critical acclaim and his father’s pride.

read moreAfter HAQ, Yami Gautam proves why she’s one of Hindi Cinema’s most strongest powerhouse
There’s a reason everyone is talking about Yami Gautam after HAQ. It’s not just because she’s delivered a strong performance, it’s because she’s finally being seen for what she’s always been capable of.
In HAQ, Yami inhabits the character. Every look, every pause feels earned. There’s a quiet intensity to her that draws you in; she doesn’t demand your attention, she effortlessly holds it. It’s the kind of work that feels rare today: honest, unhurried, deeply felt. No wonder so many are saying she deserves a National Award.
What’s striking is how organic this moment feels. Yami hasn’t arrived here overnight. It’s been a steady climb, with notable films like Vicky Donor, Badlapur, Uri, Bala, A Thursday, and Article 370, each role adding another layer to her craft. You can see the confidence of someone who’s grown in public but evolved in private.
And now, with HAQ, she closes the year on a high. Not a loud one, but a lasting one. The kind of performance that lingers, that makes you think of her long after the film ends. There’s something very rare about Yami. She reminds you that an actor doesn’t need to shout to be heard. That conviction can be quiet. That power can be still.

read moreKaran Johar and Ameesha Patel condemn paparazzi overdrive outside Deol residence amid Dharmendra’s treatment: “This is not coverage, it’s disrespect”
The recent death hoax surrounding veteran actor Dharmendra has sparked massive chaos on social media, with continuous paparazzi coverage outside his residence adding to the commotion. While the legendary star is currently under treatment at home, constant media presence and speculation have left his family distressed.
A video of Sunny Deol losing his cool at photographers stationed outside his house went viral earlier this week, highlighting the growing frustration over the invasion of privacy.
Now, filmmaker Karan Johar and actress Ameesha Patel have voiced their support for the Deol family, urging the media to show sensitivity during this difficult time.
Taking to his Instagram Stories, Karan Johar wrote, “When basic courtesy and sensitivity leaves our hearts and our actions, we know we are a doomed race. PLEASE leave a family alone! They are already emotionally combating so much… it’s heartbreaking to see a paparazzi and media circus for a living legend who has contributed so massively to our cinema. This is not coverage, it’s DISRESPECT!”
Ameesha Patel echoed the same sentiment in her Instagram Story, stating, “I strongly believe the media needs to leave the Deol family alone at this time and respect their privacy,” followed by folded hands and blue heart emojis.
For the unversed, the veteran actor was admitted due to breathlessness and requires ongoing monitoring owing to age-related health concerns. Family members—including wife Hema Malini and son Sunny Deol—have confirmed that his condition is stable and assured fans that rumors about critical conditions or ventilator support are false.
Dharmendra’s family has requested privacy and respect during this time and asked people to keep him in their prayers. The actor remains under the care of medical professionals, with his health improving gradually.

Kindness has always been the foundation of Ananya Panday’s initiative, So Positive — a platform that continues to find new and meaningful ways to connect with people. Earlier this year, Ananya introduced the Kindness Curriculum in collaboration with Slam Out Loud, an art-based learning program designed to help children explore empathy, compassion, and emotional intelligence through storytelling, poetry, and visual arts.
Ananya Panday personally lent her voice and presence to all six modules, guiding young learners through real-life lessons on kindness, self-acceptance, and community. The project felt deeply personal to her, reflecting the purpose behind So Positive — to inspire emotional awareness and genuine connection.
Soon after, on World Mental Health Day, she introduced junk journaling — a creative practice that encouraged people to pause, reflect and show kindness to their own thoughts. The specially curated So Positive journals struck a chord and sold out twice — a reflection of how deeply the idea resonated with her audience. The activity reminded everyone that mental wellness often begins with small acts of honesty and self-care and that creativity can be a beautiful bridge to healing.
Now, on World Kindness Day, Ananya Panday has added another thoughtful initiative — DIY bag charm kits. Each charm acts as a token of gratitude and connection, reinforcing the message that kindness doesn’t have to be grand to be meaningful; it simply needs to be sincere and consistent.
From classrooms to creative journals and now everyday accessories, So Positive continues to grow as a heartfelt movement — one that celebrates kindness in simple, creative, and lasting ways.

After filming sequences in the UAE and Mumbai, the unit of director Ahmed Khan’s upcoming ensemble comedy Welcome to the Jungle starring Akshay Kumar is preparing for its last stretch of production. As reported, the team is gearing up for a major 20-day schedule in North India.
The film, produced by Firoz A. Nadiadwala, had earlier shot in the UAE (including Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Ras Al-Khaimah) and began its Mumbai slate from 6 November. “A few setbacks have happened, but the shooting has always been on track,” a source from the unit shares. “Ahmed shot two romantic songs in Dubai with Akshay and Disha [Patani] at the end of October. He returned on November 5 and resumed shooting the next day. Ahmed and producer Firoz A Nadiadwala are leaving no stone unturned to make the film look grand and larger-than-life with its 34-member star cast.”
For its North India leg, Ahmed Khan is reportedly scouting forest areas for this final schedule, which will feature “chase sequences, gun fights, blasts, and a sequence with 300 horses in the climax,” under the choreography of action master Abbas Mogul. “Post [the shoot in Mumbai], we will head for a 20-day climax schedule featuring all the actors together followed by a song sequence,” Khan had confirmed.
The production designer, Shailesh Mahadik, has reportedly created an expansive jungle set in Film City, Goregaon for the Mumbai schedule: “The area is so big that actors and units are using choppers to travel from one area to another.”
Although the film has faced delays including the destruction of a Kashmir-town set due to heavy rains and other schedule setbacks the makers appear confident of finishing on a high note with this North India schedule.
With a massive star cast and ambitious action-comedy scale, “Welcome to the Jungle” is now racing toward its final leg and promises to deliver a grand cinematic spectacle when it releases.

read moreFatima Sana Shaikh finds the heartbeat of old-school ishq in Gustaakh Ishq as Minni
Fatima Sana Shaikh’s next film promises to be one of her most heartfelt performances yet. In Gustaakh Ishq – Kucch Pehle Jaisa, directed by Vibhu Puri, she plays Minni — a bright, middle-class woman whose capacity for love forms the emotional core of the story.
Set against the backdrop of Punjab’s fading havelis and the old lanes of Purani Dilli, Gustaakh Ishq explores a timeless romance rooted in emotion and simplicity. The film also stars Vijay Varma, Naseeruddin Shah, and Sharib Hashmi, with music composed by Vishal Bhardwaj and lyrics penned by Gulzar.
Minni isn’t portrayed as a grand or larger-than-life heroine. Instead, she is someone relatable — a woman whose dreams sometimes feel too big for her world. Fatima Sana Shaikh said that this authenticity is what drew her to the role. “Minni reminded me of so many women I’ve known — strong, grounded, and quietly hopeful. She believes in love, but on her own terms. There’s dignity in her stillness,” she shared.
Director Vibhu Puri described Minni as the “heartbeat of Gustaakh Ishq.” He said, “Fatima brings a rare honesty to her performance. There’s something deeply human about the way she turns silence into emotion.”
Produced by Manish Malhotra and his brother Dinesh Malhotra, Gustaakh Ishq marks Manish Malhotra’s first venture as a film producer. The project reflects his passion for cinema, design, and storytelling. With Naseeruddin Shah playing a soulful poet and Vijay Varma portraying a man discovering the language of love, Minni’s journey unfolds delicately between their worlds.
Gustaakh Ishq captures the charm of old-fashioned romance — a world of chai, poetry, and quiet longing — reminding audiences that classic love stories still have a place on the big screen.
The film is set to release in theatres on November 28.

read moreEXCLUSIVE: After super-success of Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat, all eyes now on Harshvardhan Rane’s next, Silaa: “50% of shoot is complete; its visuals are unlike Deewaniyat, Sanam Teri Kasam…we shot in world’s BIGGEST cave…”
When Sanam Teri Kasam (2016) became a big hit on its re-release, it was considered a fluke. But its lead actor Harshvardhan Rane silenced one and all with Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat, which is all set to hit the Rs. 75 crore mark. Suddenly and rightly so, his next films are now keenly awaited as its clear that there’s a demand to see him on the big screen. His immediate next release is Silaa, directed by Omung Kumar of Mary Kom (2014) fame. He is joined by The Diplomat (2025) and Raksha Bandhan (2022) actress Sadia Khateeb and Karan Veer Mehra.
Bollywood Hungama exclusively spoke to Harshvardhan Rane and asked about Silaa and when it will be released. He said, “It’ll be a 2026 release. We have shot 50% of the film. Once we are on the verge of completion, we’ll take a call. But the visuals of that film will not be anything that we have seen in Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat or Sanam Teri Kasam. The location is absolutely opposite of all my previous films, including Taish (2020).”
He continued, “We shot it in Vietnam. We have even filmed it in the world's biggest cave.” It is called Son Doong Cave in Phong Nha-Kẻ Bàng National Park, Quảng Trị Province, Vietnam.
Birthday plans
2025 has truly been the year for Harshvardhan Rane. The year started with a bang with the re-release success of Sanam Teri Kasam, and it ends with another banger in the form of the super-hit, Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat. Will this birthday be even more special to him?
Harshvardhan smiled and replied, “For me, my celebration is that my producer is smiling. I am not interested in buying expensive vehicles, watches, or clothes. I live for people like Nilesh Sahay (with whom he’s committed to a film), Anshul Garg (producer of Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat), Bejoy Nambiar (who directed him in Taish and Dange) etc., who put their faith in me. Even Sajid Khan for that matter. He’s an unassuming silent hero. After every film of mine that failed, he stood behind me like a rock. The same goes for my best friend, Minnakshi Das, and John Abraham sir. They told me, ‘You are on the right path. Just don’t listen to anything’.”

Karan Johar revealed his dream casting for a contemporary version of his 1998 hit, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai a film that originally starred Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol and Rani Mukerji.
In a recent appearance on the digital platform hosted by Sania Mirza, when asked who would play the iconic roles of Anjali, Rahul and Tina if the film were remade for today’s generation, Johar didn’t hold back. “I think Alia would be an absolutely great Anjali. I think Ranveer Singh would be a great Rahul, and Ananya would be a great Tina,” he said.
When Sania joked, “And none of them would actually be acting that much,” the filmmaker responded with a smile, “I think it would be a great pairing.” He further elaborated that the role of Tina “could be Ananya, Janhvi, Sara it could be any of the younger nepo babies.”
On the topic of nepotism, Johar was emphatic: when asked if he had ever launched someone at the behest of their family, he asserted, “No. I knew their parents, but no parent ever called me and said, ‘Launch my kid.’ Never. Not once.” He added, “I know they are nepo babies. I know their parents. I’ve seen them grow up in front of me. But none of their parents have ever called me I have always been the one to call. And let me tell you, I’ve even been refused a few times.”
Kuch Kuch Hota Hai marked Johar’s directorial debut and became a landmark in the commercial Hindi film space, both for its box-office success and its cultural resonance.
While the remake is clearly a speculative wish-list rather than an official project announcement, the director’s casting preferences already reflect his aspirational vision: bringing the nostalgic charm of the original into a modern context with newer talent. It remains to be seen if this dream ensemble ever moves beyond conversation into production.

read more32 years of Baazigar EXCLUSIVE: “Shah Rukh Khan said, ‘I will carry it off’. Only he had confidence in the film,” reveals writer Javed Siddiqi; also shares how he thought of “Haar kar jeetne wale ko…” dialogue
Filmmaker duo Abbas-Mustan’s iconic Baazigar completed 32 years yesterday. The film was not only a major success at the box office but also a career-defining project for its lead actor Shah Rukh Khan. Among various things, the movie is known for its dialogue, “Kabhi kabhi jeetne ke liye kuchh haarna bhi padta hai, aur haar kar jeetne wale ko Baazigar kehte hain (Sometimes, you need to lose something in order to win and a person who does that is called Baazigar).”
The line was the brainchild of the veteran writer and literary figure Javed Siddiqi. In an exclusive chat with Bollywood Hungama, he revealed how he thought of this dialogue. “Abbas-Mustan said that once the sequence of the race gets over, there should be a line where there should be a double innuendo – what has been said is one thing but its meaning has to be something else. Then I came up with this line and it worked big time,” he said.
Siddiqi pointed out that if a film works, everything about it works. “I always keep giving this example,” he said. “People have been repeating the lines from Sholay, which are actually meaningless. Where is the dialogue-baazi in a line like, ‘Kitne aadmi the?’? Similarly, how did ‘Arre O Sambha’ become popular? There is no magic of dialogue baazi in this dialogue. But because people like the film, they like its characters and once they like the characters, they like everything about them.”
Siddiqi recalled that he knew SRK even before they both got associated with this film. “I had developed a bond with him before Baazigar,” he said. “Me and my partner Robin Bhatt used to write movies together. We had a permanent room in a hotel, which was in Khar. Shah Rukh often used to visit us because at that time he wasn’t so busy.”
However, Siddiqi hasn’t met Khan for long now. “I am semi-retired. I don’t go out much and don’t attend filmi parties too. He is a very nice, educated and highly civilized man. He has a lot of love,” he said.
Siddiqi also touched upon the fact that a lot of people from the industry advised the makers to not go ahead with something as unconventional at that point of time like Baazigar. “When the project started, a lot of people said that you have made a negative character into a hero or you are making a hero into a villain. They also pointed out that he commits five murders in the film. Most of the people were shocked and they said that the audience won’t accept this film,” he said.
The veteran writer added, “But only one person had confidence in the film and he was Shah Rukh. He said, ‘I will carry it off.’ He has something different in him. He is also very hardworking when it comes to preparing for his role.”
Produced by Venus Movies, Baazigar also starred Kajol, Dalip Tahil, Shilpa Shetty, Ananth Mahadevan and Johnny Lever.

read moreArjun Kapoor opens up on his mental health and losing his mother; says, “I was mourning and celebrating at the same time”
Bollywood actor Arjun Kapoor took the stage at the FICCI Young Leaders Summit in Mumbai and delivered a candid and emotional talk on his struggles with obesity, mental health and the profound loss of his mother Mona Shourie Kapoor. He stressed the importance of normalising therapy and embracing vulnerability as a strength rather than a weakness.
Kapoor revealed that the COVID-19 pandemic was a turning point for him. “I started therapy after realising that I hadn’t taken care of myself for a decade.” He also reflected on the emotional storm of his mother’s death in 2012, saying, “I was mourning and celebrating at the same time. I became a star overnight, but I was only running away from my pain.”
On his weight battle, Kapoor shared, “Losing 50 kilos took me four years. It was as much a mental battle as a physical one. I was lucky to have my mother’s support, but many people don’t have that kind of emotional or financial backing. When you lose your backbone at 25, what can the world do to you?”
He urged younger people to value mental health and therapy. “There’s nothing wrong with being vulnerable,” Kapoor emphasised, adding that “the strongest people are those who can acknowledge their emotions.” He described therapy as a “safe outlet for expression, helping individuals feel empowered and sensible.”
In closing, he encouraged the audience to “wear their emotions with pride” and insisted that one “can be emotional and still be powerful.”
Kapoor’s comments come at a time when mental-health dialogue in Bollywood is growing more open, and his personal confession adds a strong voice to the discussion.

The eighth episode of Two Much With Kajol And Twinkle featured Vicky Kaushal and Kriti Sanon and it made for a fun watch as they have never been paired together. Vicky raised laughs as he reacted to being called the ‘Green Flag Man’.
Vicky said, “I’ve received excellent training. Ab main Green Flag se Green Forest banna chahta hoon. Fir Green Planet banna chahta hoon. Fir achanak se Green Universe ban jaunga. I’m not going to stop. I’ll become green, greener, greenest!”
Vicky was asked how he met his wife Katrina. He replied, “I met Katrina Kaif backstage at an award show that I was hosting. She was there as a guest.” Kriti asked him, “Is this when you danced on 'Chinki Chameli' with her?” Vicky said, “I think so, yeah.”
He continued, “In fact, I met her the first time on stage and then we went backstage. I still remember that I had to take an entry, she had to take an entry and there was Sunil Grover along with me. The three of us were standing. Sunil and Katrina had shot Bharat (2019). So, they were like pally and friends. Sunil Grover introduced me to her. For the first 5 minutes of me meeting with Katrina, she trained me how to host the show! This was when we were going to go on stage just to say, 'Goodnight, everyone. Thank you for coming'. I have hosted the entire show, it’s all done!”
Vicky added, “It was like, 'Hi, I am Katrina', 'Hi, I am Vicky'. Then, she immediately told me, 'You know what? You shouldn't care about the audience. You should always do so-and-so'. I got a full-blown tutorial about how to host an award show, which I had already finished. That was my first interaction.”
Kriti Sanon then told Vicky Kaushal, “Katrina and I used to work out in the same gym. When she started dating you, her playlist suddenly changed. Suddenly, her playlist had Punjabi music. I looked at her and asked her, 'Is this your playlist?' Those were definitely not the songs she was listening to before.”

The eighth episode of Two Much With Kajol And Twinkle featured Vicky Kaushal and Kriti Sanon and it made for a fun watch as they have never been paired together. The highlight was when Vicky was asked about an embarrassing situation on the sets of a film. He narrated an incident that occurred when he was shooting for Uri: The Surgical Strike (2019).
Vicky began by saying, “We were shooting in Serbia for all the action sequences. I was playing a special forces commando. So, my uniform had a lot of gadgets. One of the gadgets was a GoPro and it was on my shoulder. Director Aditya Dhar suggested, 'Let's keep it rolling. So, whatever footage we get, we'll put it in the war room scenes. This is your POV and that's what it should be'. Hence, he told me that 'Rather than shooting it separately, just keep it on'.”
Vicky continued, “The job of switching it on, during the take, and keeping it off, when the scene wasn't been shot, was given to the ADs. Of course, they used to forget. In between the shots, I would go to use the bathroom. The vanity vans in Serbia were not as lavish as the ones we have here. There, they have small trolleys. Hence, when I had to use the van, I used to bend, considering my height. Meanwhile, the GoPro was kept on my shoulder!”
Vicky Kaushal said, “A few days later, I asked my director, 'Bro, how’s the footage looking?'. He told me, 'Beta, main tujhe ek baat batana chahta hoon. Tu apna GoPro bandh kar liya kar' (laughs). I didn't understand and asked him, 'Why? What happened? We're getting extra footage'. He revealed, 'Jo footage mil raha hai, woh na tu dekhna chahega, na main dekhna chahunga lekin fir bhi main dekh raha hoon'!”
Vicky then joked, “I jokingly told Aditya Dhar, 'I cannot say no to your scripts in the future because you have some footage of mine, which I would not like to come out. Warna sach mein tauba tauba ho jaayega!”

For most Bollywood stars, a festival release — especially during Diwali — is considered the ultimate sign of stardom. It’s the time when families flock to theatres, the box office sizzles, and celebrations merge with cinema. For Ayushmann Khurrana, who has spent over a decade redefining the landscape of mainstream Hindi films, this milestone had remained just out of reach — until now.
Known for his ability to balance commercial success with unconventional storytelling, Ayushmann has starred in several acclaimed hits like Andhadhun, Bala, Dream Girl, and Badhaai Ho. Yet, one wish had always lingered on his bucket list — a major festival release. Speaking about the long wait finally coming to an end, Ayushmann told Bollywood Hungama, “More than 10 years in the industry and I have done every type of film. There was only one thing left on my bucket list, that I have never had a festival release. So it happened this time. It was my own film. So it was beautiful.”
For Ayushmann, the emotional connection with Diwali runs deep. He recalled how watching a film during the festival has always been a family tradition. “So especially on Diwali, and Diwali in our house has always been a tradition, that always on Diwali we go to watch a picture. The next day or after puja, anything. So, it happened this time. It was my own film, so it was beautiful,” he added.
Acknowledging the high expectations that come with such a coveted release window, Ayushmann remained calm and focused on the joy of the occasion. “Look, I never take stress. I was just excited about the fact that my film should release on Diwali,” he said, emphasizing the sense of gratitude that came with the moment.
Reflecting on his consistent success streak, he remarked, “So Dream Girl, Dream Girl 2, Badhaai Do, Bala, and now this Rs. 100 crore. This is a very big deal in an actor’s career. Especially in the times we live in. What works, what doesn’t — no one knows.”
As he looked back on his journey, Ayushmann summed up what this milestone meant to him: “This does give you like some boost that yeah, something I am doing right. I am choosing right, I am acting right. I can only go with my gut and intuition. What happens ahead I think depends on the audience.”
For Ayushmann Khurrana, this Diwali wasn’t just about a box office win — it was about fulfilling a decade-old dream and reaffirming his belief that perseverance, intuition, and authenticity always pay off.

read moreNagarjuna recalls Ranbir Kapoor’s excitement for Animal during Brahmastra shoot: “He was showing me Arjun Reddy scenes saying…”
As Ram Gopal Varma’s cult classic Shiva gears up for a 4K Dolby Atmos re-release, filmmaker Sandeep Reddy Vanga and actor Nagarjuna joined Varma for a nostalgic discussion — one that unexpectedly led to a candid reflection on Ranbir Kapoor’s journey with Animal.
During their chat, Ram Gopal Varma asked Vanga how actors had responded to the film’s intense and unconventional scenes. To this, Vanga replied, “Ranbir never had a doubt. Ranbir said everything is so new.”
Nagarjuna, who had worked with Ranbir during Brahmastra, chimed in with a memory that revealed the actor’s enthusiasm long before Animal even began filming. “I remember that time I was doing Brahmastra with him, and he was only talking about Animal that he was going to start. At that time, he had not started Animal,” he said.
“He was pulling out Arjun Reddy. Not the Hindi version, but the Telugu one. He was showing some scenes — one where Vijay Deverakonda is kissing the girl — and he was saying, ‘this is so real.’ He was very, very excited to start that film,” Nagarjuna added with a smile.
The anecdote offers an interesting contrast to Ranbir Kapoor’s state of mind before Animal began filming. Just a few months ago, Anil Kapoor, who played Ranbir’s father in Animal, had shared at the FICCI Frames event that the actor was emotionally affected by the commercial failure of Shamshera. “He was very down and said, ‘Sab mujhe dekh rahe hai. Itni badi flop di hai maine.’ I told him, ‘Ek acha shot dete hai, kal tak bhool jayega,’” Anil had recalled.
Despite the initial self-doubt, Animal went on to become one of the biggest blockbusters of its year, reaffirming Ranbir’s box-office pull — even as the film drew widespread debate for its violent and misogynistic undertones.

read moreBigg Boss 19: Ashnoor Kaur and Malti Chahar lock horns in a heated kitchen showdown over morning duties
Drama unfolded once again inside the Bigg Boss 19 house as contestants Ashnoor and Malti got into a fiery exchange during the morning cooking duties. What began as a disagreement over timing and kitchen responsibilities soon spiraled into a personal clash, drawing the attention of several housemates.
The argument reportedly started when Ashnoor expressed her irritation with Malti’s attitude, calling her ‘Farhana 2.0’ and claiming she had ‘no personality of her own’. Malti fired back, saying she had been waiting for Ashnoor for nearly 15 minutes and was frustrated by her delay. The spat intensified as both refused to back down.
Earlier in the day, Ashnoor was seen venting to Gaurav and Pranit about Malti’s behavior. She explained that when she asked Malti to prepare halwa together, Malti declined, saying she needed to get ready first. Later, when Ashnoor began cooking on her own, Malti instructed her to increase the flame to speed things up, which Ashnoor refused to do, fearing the halwa would burn. Gaurav sided with Ashnoor, suggesting that Malti’s attitude should be called out.
Things further escalated when Malti later told Ashnoor she didn’t like her tone during the kitchen exchange. Ashnoor defended herself, saying Malti could have joined her earlier instead of delaying. The situation worsened when Farhana, overhearing their argument, made a taunting remark — “Now listen to these illogical talks” — prompting Malti to lash out in anger.
Ashnoor asked her to mind her language, to which Malti shot back, “Chhoti hai toh chhoti reh (If you are a young girl, stay that way).” The verbal duel continued as Ashnoor called Malti pagal, leading Malti to remind her to “behave her age.” The two also clashed over how Ashnoor addressed different housemates, with Malti questioning why she called Bajaj “aap” but addressed her as “tu.” Ashnoor responded firmly, saying, “It’s my equation with Bajaj, I can call him whatever I want.”
The confrontation ended with Ashnoor telling Malti to manage her time better and not shift the blame for her own delay, concluding, “If you want to get ready before your duty, that’s your personal call — don’t put it on me.”
With emotions running high and alliances forming, this latest kitchen clash has added fresh tension to the Bigg Boss 19 house.
Catch all the action on the Bigg Boss 19 Live Channel, with daily episodes streaming at 9:00 PM on JioHotstar and airing at 10:30 PM on COLORS.

After Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari, actor Akshay Oberoi is now gearing up to start shooting for his next film titled Resident, a psychological thriller that promises to take audiences on a gripping and unsettling journey into the human mind. Known for his ability to seamlessly slip into diverse and unconventional characters, Akshay takes on the lead role in this intense narrative that explores the darker corners of human psychology. Akash Goila is the director of this venture and the film is produced by Filmeraa.
Speaking about the project, Akshay Oberoi shared, “I’ve always been drawn to stories that challenge me as an actor, roles that demand emotional depth, unpredictability, and a bit of risk. Resident is exactly that kind of film. It’s a psychological thriller that doesn’t just rely on fear or suspense, but digs deep into the psyche of its characters. The genre itself is dark, layered, and inevitable in its impact, it makes you confront truths you often avoid. After Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari, which had a completely different tone, I wanted to immerse myself in something intense and thought-provoking. The film Resident gives me that opportunity, and I can’t wait to begin this new journey.”
With Resident, Akshay continues to strengthen his reputation as one of the few actors in the industry who constantly experiments with roles that break away from the mainstream mold.
Resident is expected to go on floors soon, with more details about the cast and production team to be announced in the coming weeks.

Kaun Banega Crorepati 17 (KBC 17), hosted by Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan, offered fans a dose of laughter alongside its quiz-based format in its latest episode. In a promo shared on Instagram, stand-up comedians Harsh Gujral, Ravi Gupta, Abhishek Upmanyu, and Anubhav Bassi visited the KBC 17 sets, adding fun and humor to the show.
Amitabh Bachchan, as always, stole the spotlight, trying his hand at stand-up comedy for the first time. Standing at the mic, the 83-year-old recalled a soap advertisement that claimed to be “infused with the power of lemon.”
He joked, “Ladies and gentlemen, I wonder, does lemon really have so much power? Dishwashing soap has the power of lemon, face wash has the power of lemon, shampoo has the power of lemon. From your body to your dishes, from your hair to your cheeks, what makes everything shine? Lemon.” He added that he personally consumes lemon only in shikanji (lemonade) or achar (pickle).
The comedians were impressed by Big B’s comic timing. Harsh Gujral humorously remarked, “Sir, you are the Badshah of acting. You can sing, and now you’ve done stand-up too. I think we all should go back to our village.”
In another moment, Amitabh Bachchan recited his iconic dialogue from the 1978 film Don, “Don ko pakadna mushkil hi nahi namumkin hai,” on Harsh Gujral’s request. The comedian jokingly replied, “I’m calling the police and informing them that we have found Don,” earning applause and laughter from both Big B and the audience.
With his effortless charm and humor, Amitabh Bachchan once again proved why he remains one of Bollywood’s most loved and versatile stars, seamlessly blending quiz, comedy, and entertainment on KBC 17.
