An applicant for Miss Universe India 2024, Shivangi Desai reveals how she balances pageantry and law school work.

In an old clip, Katrina Kaif talked about travelling to many countries during her childhood and being instilled with the thought that her skin tone is dark.

Actor Katrina Kaif was born in Hong Kong to Indian father, Mohammed Kaif, and a British mother, Suzanne Turquotte. She moved to several countries during her childhood and eventually settled in London. However, the actor pursued a career in acting in India as she felt a strong connection to the country. In an old 2009 interview, which is being widely shared on the internet, Katrina shared why she believed she fit well in India.

During the interview, Katrina was asked if she felt disconnected from her Indian side due to her parents’ divorce when she was young. The actor replied, “I don’t think so because, you know, it’s such a basic thing to say that’ll probably sound very stupid but you must’ve seen it enough in your friends how you have very dark children who grow up to be very fair? I was a very dark child. There was no way you would look at me and say that this is a Caucasian child. I was always known as how exotic or how ethnic.”

The ‘Merry Christmas’ actor expressed that she lacked a sense of belonging throughout her life due to constant travel between countries.

“By coincidence, those countries were the far east Hong Kong, China, Japan, France, very predominantly fair, white Caucasian countries. So, that instilled it in me more. Which is probably why when I came to India, maybe other people would’ve gotten afraid that, ‘I’d just come to another country and landed up here’. But probably for me, it may sound filmy, I felt such a sense of belonging because I realised that it just fit somehow,” Katrina added.

Srikanth review: Rajkummar Rao plays a blind genius in Tushar Hiranandani’s biopic on Srikanth Bolla.

Srikanth Bolla is visually impaired and can ‘practically only dream’. Therefore, he chooses to dream rather big, and chase those dreams by all means. He has quite a few mottos in life — ‘I can’t run, so I must fight’, ‘There is nothing I cannot do’, ‘If others can, Sri also can’. He isn’t asking for help. He needs guidance and mentoring. He doesn’t want people to pity him for his limitations. He wants to gets things on merit. Director Tushar Hiranandani, along with writers Jagdeep Siddhu and Sumit Purohit, stitches all these aspects beautifully, and weaves them into a simplistic yet an impactful narrative in form of this biographical, Srikanth.

Srikanth, played flawlessly by Rajkummar Rao, says, ‘Main hero nahi ban raha, main hero hoon’. Well, that simply encapsulates his standing in the film. He is the heart and hero of Srikanth, and shines throughout without any low points as far as his performance is concerned. Even when the narrative, screenplay or the pace of the film dwindles, it’s Rao’s terrific performance that keeps the ship afloat. It’s hard to not notice the time and effort that has gone into the prep of this character and that shows in every single frame. A scene where Srikanth falls on the ground and hits his forehead, and unconsolably cries in front of his teacher saying he doesn’t want to beg, it doesn’t evoke an emotion of pity but shows his resilience and strength.

The plot

The story begins in July 1992, when Srikanth (Rajkummar Rao) is born to Damodar Bolla (Srivinas Beesetty) and Venkatamma Bolla (Anusha Nuthula) at Machilipatnam, Andhra Pradesh. While the father is elated on the birth of his first child, that too a boy, which is considered auspicious, and he names him after his favourite cricketer Krishnamachari Srikkanth, his world comes crumbling down as the realisation dawns upon him that his son has been born blind. He cries, feels helpless and when neighbours tell him to kill their child, Damodar is about to bury him alive, but his wife stops him.

The film, very briefly though, shows us Srikanth’s growing up years where he would get bullied by other kids who would tell him that he’s good for nothing and will grow up to be a ‘blind beggar’. Soon, Srikanth is admitted to a special school for visually impaired in Hyderabad where he finds teacher Devika (Jyothika), who not only takes it on herself to help him in studies but also teach him how to walk without assistance and be independent.

Alia Bhatt has left netizens impressed with her Indian gesture at the Met Gala 2204. The actress was seen sporting a kaala teeka behind her ear and netizens are super impressed with the actress and call it ‘so precious.’

Alia Bhatt has garnered everyone’s attention again, thanks to her ethereal Met Gala 2024 look. The Darlings actress reappeared at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City wearing a hand-embroidered floral saree embellished with glass beads, silk floss, and semi-precious stones. Images of Alia’s saree quickly gained popularity on social media, where viewers complimented the intricate design. Eagle eyed-fans also observed that Alia had a black mark, or “kaala teeka,” behind her left ear. This gesture has left the actress’ fans impressed.

Alia Byatt Sports Kaala Teeka Behind Ear At Met Gala 2024
In the pictures going viral on social media, Alia Bhatt’s fans have spotted a ‘kaala teeka’ behind her ear. For those unaware, a “kaala teeka” is a tiny kaajal mark applied to ward off bad luck, usually the moment one steps outside one’s residence. Mothers usually use kajal to protect their children when they look especially lovely on special occasions. They smear it on the back of their child’s ear after taking it off of their own eyes.
Take a look at the pic, right here:

Netizens React
Soon after the pics were shared on social media, scores of fans chimed into the comments section to react to the actress sporting a kaala teeka. One of the fans wrote, “That kaala teeka behind her ear is sooo Indian because no wonder whole world having eyes on her right now (and added a diamond emoticon).” Another social media read, “That kaala teeka is so precious I will cry.” “Straight out of a fairytale,” read a third comment. One of the netizens commended how Alia’s make-up artist made sure to put the kaala teeka to complete her look. The comment reads. “Puneet (Alia’s make-up artist) knows very well how many kaali buri nazar (evil eye) on her so she puts a kaala teeka on her.”

Bollywood actor Ranveer Singh seemingly put an end to divorce rumours with Deepika Padukone at a recent event. The Don 3 actor sparked rumours that there might be trouble in paradise after he archived his and Deepika’s wedding photos, along with other posts before 2013, from Instagram. On Wednesday, Ranveer attended the Tiffany & Co store launch in Mumbai where he proudly flaunted his wedding ring and seemingly shut down rumours of their divorce.

In an interview with Vogue India at the store launch, Ranveer Singh was asked to name a piece of jewellery that he is most fond of. Ranveer admitted his wedding and engagement ring presented by Deepika Padukone are his most favourite jewellery pieces. “Personal, sentimental value attached to them are my favourite most dear pieces,” he said, before speaking about his wedding ring.

“One of the rings that are very dear to me is this one — it’s my wedding ring, presented to me by my wife,” Ranveer said as he held his hand up and showed the massive diamond wedding ring. “The other one is a platinum engagement ring. And there’s of course my mother’s diamond earrings and my grandmother’s pearls,” he added.

Watch the video below:

The statement came a day after a source told Hindustan Times that all is well with Ranveer and Deepika. A source told Hindustan Times that there is no trouble in the couple’s paradise and added that Ranveer not only archived his wedding photos but also decided to archive all posts before 2023.

“Well, he has deleted all his pictures from the year before 2022-2023. It is not just about his wedding pictures. In fact, all his recent pictures with Deepika are still on his handles. So, it is really baffling as to how people can assume that there is any trouble in paradise,” the source said.

Mom-to-be Deepika Padukone was spotted for the first time since Ranveer Singh removed their wedding photos from his Instagram account. The actress, who is pregnant with the couple’s first baby, was seen returning from her babymoon trip with Ranveer by her side. In a video shared by a paparazzo, DeepVeer aka Deepika and Ranveer were seen getting out of their car. Deepika was seen wearing an oversized tee to hide her baby bump.

However, that wasn’t the only thing that we noticed in the video. The video appeared to be taken from within a car. While she spotted the camera, Deepika did not pay attention to it at first. However, as the actress was exiting the spot, she hit the camera and walked away. Deepika appeared to be in a playful mood as she goofed around with the camera person.

Last night, stars assembled at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, donning ornate gowns and sharp suits for the 2024 Met Gala.

Many adhered to the “The Garden of Time” dress code, including Katy Perry – or so fans assumed.

A picture of Perry at the bottom of the Met steps circulated online, leading fans to believe the “Wide Awake” singer was attending the event. In the picture, Perry is wearing an off-white ball gown adorned with roses and moss.

When Perry shared the photo on her Instagram, her caption confused followers. “Couldn’t make it to the MET, had to work,” she wrote, along with another photo that appeared to be her at the Met Gala (albeit a different outfit), a text exchange and a video of her in the recording studio.

The text exchange was between Perry and her mother, who was shocked to see her daughter on the carpet. “Didn’t know you went to the Met,” she wrote. “What a gorgeous gown, you look like the Rose Parade, you are your float lol.”

“Lol mom the AI got you too, BEWARE,” Perry responded, indicating that the viral photo had been AI-generated.

Fans seemed befuddled in the comment section, with many telling Perry they loved her look. Other followers understood the gaffe, writing, “This is insane… the power that the AI holds nowadays is [scary]” and “I see now it was AI but still… STUNNING look AI came up with!”

Many fans speculated in the comments that Perry was likely working on her highly anticipated sixth studio album. Fans believe she might have teased her next body of work while attending the 10th Breakthrough Prize Ceremony at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences last month.

In a photo with her partner, Orlando Bloom, Perry can be seen holding a small purse that reportedly reads, “KP6 Top Secret.”

Gisele Bündchen says she’s been hurt all over again because Tom Brady “once again put football before his family” — this time during his comedy roast.

As we reported at the time, Bündchen and Brady battled during their marriage because she felt that the former NFL quarterback failed to prioritize their home life over his gridiron career — a rift that eventually led to their divorce in October 2022.

We’re told that the wound was opened up again when Brady’s roast, hosted by Kevin Hart, streamed live on Netflix Sunday night.

Brady weathered — and even guffawed at — a hail of jokes about his split from Bündchen.

But when “Roastmaster General” Jeff Ross made a crack about the massage parlor scandal that ensnared New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft, Brady stood up for him.

“On the first day of training camp, that scrawny rookie famously walked into the owner Robert Kraft’s office and said, ‘I’m the best decision your organization has ever made,’ ” Ross said during the roast.

“ ‘Would you like a massage?’ ”

For the first and only time in the event, Brady approached Ross — a legend in the roasting field — and told him, “Don’t say that s - - t again.”

(Kraft was one of 25 people charged with soliciting prostitution at a Florida spa in 2019, but the charges against him were dropped.)

Meanwhile, jabs flew all night long about the end of Brady’s marriage, and about Bündchen’s ongoing relationship with her jujitsu coach.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in an exclusive interview with Times Now, disclosed that Amitabh Bachchan had trouble sleeping the night after his deepfake video went viral.

PM Modi had the conversation with Sushant Sinha, consulting editor of Times Now Navbharat, and Navika Kumar, group editor-in-chief of Times Now and Times Now Navbharat.

In response to a question on the BJP’s strong stance against the deepfake Amit Shah video circulating on social media, Prime Minister Modi described how seeing such videos might really disturb the subject. In this context, he shared a story about how Bachchan was upset when he saw a deepfake video in his voice.

The Bachchan deepfake video appeared during the Madhya Pradesh elections, prompting the actor to lodge a complaint. “You will be surprised to know, Amitabh Bachchan couldn’t sleep all night, he said he had to file an FIR at night itself. He said why did this happen to me, I have nothing to do with politics, he said he greets politicians from a distance. He was very upset,” PM Modi said.

PM Modi went on to say that similar attempts had been made in the past and that he had made it clear during a meeting at the BJP headquarters that this kind of stuff highlighted the great crisis.

“In Madhya Pradesh, action was taken against culprits, it’s not like such attempts weren’t made in the past. And when I spoke on Diwali during a get together at the BJP Headquarters, I made a long speech on deepfakes that day, it’s true I did it knowingly. That day, I conveyed before the media that this is a great crisis before the country. I was worried, and during the G20 summit, everyone expressed concern about this during our video conference. I said they’re all talking about solutions. I gave them one solution. I said on such videos, a message should flash that this is AI generated content and one must see it as AI generated content,” PM Modi said.

“It is imperative the warning shows not in one corner but prominently. The way all of you put a ‘first on’ watermark, a similar watermark should be put on these videos. Everyone across the world is worried about deepfakes. You can make any video of any person.”

When asked if it will be a statutory warning, PM Modi said: “It is imperative the warning shows not in one corner but prominently. The way all of you put a FIRST ON watermark, a similar watermark should be put on these videos. Everyone across the world is worried about Deep Fakes. You can make any video of any person.”

Congress links to deepfakes

Amit Shah was allegedly shown discussing eliminating reservations for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes in a deepfake video that was recently circulated by a number of Congress leaders. The ‘deepfake’ film was attributed by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to the Congress.
Nationwide, BJP workers filed many First Information Reports (FIRs) and multiple arrests were made in relation to the matter. Five people, including members of the Congress social media team and leaders, were recently taken into custody by the Telangana Police, reported the TV channel.

Alia Bhatt is an undisputed queen of fashion. The global icon takes the internet by storm every time she walks the red carpet. And her this year’s Met Gala look was no exception. Alia hit the Met gala red carpet wearing an absolutely stunning saree designed by Sabyasachi.

Interestingly, Alia’s entry in the traditional outfit received the loudest cheers on the red carpet at the Met gala. International paparazzi couldn’t stop screaming Alia’s name as she posed for them on the red carpet. Needless to say, her look garnered much love and appreciation from fans as well.

“I’m feeling great. I’m feeling very excited. Months of preparation, lots of conversations and all builds up to this one moment. It’s so surreal but it’s also very special. It’s my second time at the Met, but my first time wearing a saree. When I thought of the dress code, ‘Garden of Time’, I felt it needed something timeless and there’s nothing timeless than a saree,” Alia told Vogue. Check out her red carpet interview below:

Last year, in an exclusive chat with News18 Showsha, Alia had recalled walking the Met Gala 2023 red carpet among some of the biggest names in Hollywood. “The little girl in me was just making sure that I don’t fall down on the red carpet and that I was getting enough time to pose, take a breath and enjoy the moment,” she told us.

Singer Ananya Birla, the eldest daughter of Kumar Mangalam Birla, head of the Aditya Birla Group, on Monday announced that she is quitting music. Ananya took to her Instagram account to make the announcement, which left her fans shocked. “Guys, this has been the hardest decision,” Ananya began her post.

She further explained why she’s decided to quit singing. “I have reached a stage where balancing both the businesses I run and am building + music becoming near impossible and it’s taking a toll on me in ways that I can’t express. Thank you for all the love, for the music I have released over the years. I hope we can appreciate English music made by our own people as there is so much talent in our own country. Thank you again. It’s time I focus all my energies into the business world.”

Singer Armaan was quick to react to Ananya’s post. “So sad to hear that Ananya, but you keep doing you! More power to all your dreams and future endeavours.” Actor Bobby Deol wrote, “Wish you the best in whatever you do in your life god bless you.”

Ananya Birla marked her singing debut with the single ‘Livin’ The Life’ in 2016. She shot to international fame after she became the first Indian artiste to have received a platinum status on her English single and be featured on an American national top 40 pop radio show Sirius XM Hits. In 2022, she marked her OTT debut when she featured in the song ‘Inaam’ from actor Ajay Devgn starrer web series Rudra: The Edge Of Darkness.

Ananya is the founder and CEO of Svatantra Microfinance, a company that provides financial services to low-income households and women entrepreneurs in rural India. She is also the founder of CuroCarte, a luxury e-commerce platform that sells handmade and artisanal products from around the world.

She is hugely inspired by late music sensation Kurt Cobain. “One of the reasons I’ve always looked up to him is because he never got too technical with his music and he sang from his heart,” Ananya had told us in an exclusive interview. “If you watch his live performances, you’ll notice that a few notes might not be technically correct – sometimes they would be out of the scale and sometimes, they would sound off to the ears – but that didn’t matter because people connected with him.”

An Italian model alleges he was fired from working the 2024 Met Gala after outshining Kylie Jenner at last year’s ceremony.

Eugenio Casnighi took to TikTok Saturday to explain he will no longer be working as a greeter at Monday’s event at the Metropolitan Museum of Art after going viral the year before for his good looks.

“I just got fired from the Met Gala,” the 26-year-old said before displaying several photos alongside the “Kardashians” star. “Remember me?”

Casnighi, who has worked the Met Gala for the past two years, alleged he’s never been able to talk about the attention he received from the event because he was under an NDA.

“Funny enough, they fired me so I can say whatever I want now,” the model said, claiming he was just given notice on Friday. “They fired me because I went viral last year.”

“So basically they said, ‘You made it about yourself, so we can’t have you work there anymore. I’m sorry.’”

Explaining his former role as a greeter, he continued, “Last year, they told me that I was going to be with Jenner, 26, all night, and I [helped] her [with] whatever she needed.”

Casnighi explained the unnamed modeling agency he works for and the Met Gala want models to work on the red carpet because “they want people to get noticed.”

“They literally told me we picked you because we like you more than other people to be with this celebrity but when people took pictures of the actual celebrity … like Kylie Jenner and I was next to her … of course, I ended up in the picture and they blamed me.”

Amid the explosive Diddy abuse scandal, a source sent Page Six a jaw-dropping VHS tape that was sent out as an invitation to the mogul’s 29th birthday in 1998.

The nearly six-minute video serves both as a time-capsule from the peak of the Bad Boy era and as a reminder of how far Diddy — who even skipped this year’s Grammy Awards — has slipped socially amid the investigation.

The tape — which arrived in the hands of the most powerful and glamorous players in Los Angeles and New York in a black-velvet pouch with “The Birthday Gala, November 4 1998” written on it in white script — features Oprah, Donald Trump, Derek Jeter, Ellen DeGeneres, Chris Rock, Mariah Carey, Magic Johnson, Will Smith, Ben Stiller, Joan Rivers, Wyclef Jean, Steven Tyler and Joe Perry, Tommy Hilfiger, Clive Davis, Ronald Perelman, Penny Marshall, Robin Leach and Stephen Baldwin, among others, taking turns to hype the bash, encourage the recipients to RSVP and to goof off for the camera.

It begins with a strange home video-style skit in which Danny Devito — lying on a sofa under a blanket — says, “That’s right, Puff Daddy is having a party, and this is Puff Daddy inviting you to come! Let’s have a ball!”

Then the cavalcade of A-Listers take turns reading from a script detailing the date and time, exactly how fabulous (and expensive) the affair will be, and then reading an address to RSVP to. They say that the venue — which turned out to be Cipriani Wall Street — would be revealed later.

Trump refers to the “I’ll Be Missing You Rapper” as “The legendary P Diddy,” some — including Rock and Degeneres — tease Diddy for his many names, and some make fun of their own unease with hip hop slang.

Madonna put on a free concert on Copacabana beach Saturday night, turning Rio de Janeiro’s vast stretch of sand into an enormous dance floor teeming with a multitude of her fans.

It was the last show of The Celebration Tour, her first retrospective, which kicked off in October in London

The “Queen of Pop” began the show with her 1998 hit “Nothing Really Matters.” Huge cheers rose from the buzzing, tightly packed crowd, pressed up against the barriers. Others held house parties in brightly lighted apartments and hotels overlooking the beachfront. Helicopters and drones flew overhead, and motorboats and sailboats anchored off the beach filled the bay.

“Here we are in the most beautiful place in the world,” Madonna, 65, told the crowd. Pointing out the ocean view, the mountains and the Christ the Redeemer statue overlooking the city, she added: “This place is magic.”

Madonna performed her classic hits, including “Like A Virgin” and “Hung Up.” For the introduction to “Like A Prayer,” her head was completely covered in a black cape, a rosary gripped in her hands.

The star paid an emotional tribute to “all the bright lights” lost to AIDS as she sang “Live to Tell,” with black and white photos of people who died from the illness flashing behind her.

Later, she was joined on stage by Brazilian artists Anitta and Pabllo Vittar.

Rio spent the last few days readying itself for the performance.

An estimated 1.6 million people attended the show, G1 reported, citing Rio City Hall’s tourism agency. That is more than 10 times Madonna’s record attendance of 130,000 at Paris’ Parc des Sceaux in 1987. Madonna’s official website hyped the show as the biggest ever in her four-decade career.

It stated, “From romance and slice-of-life to family dramas and thrillers, Kajol has acted in a wide range of genres, showcasing her versatility as an actor. However, horror is a genre she has never explored and one she has been wanting to try her hand at. So when Vishal Furia approached her with this gripping script set in a very unusual world, she instantly embraced it. It’s a world we have never seen Kajol in before, and she is madly excited to embark on this new thrilling journey.”

PeeCee feels it took her 22-years to be able to get paid the same amount as her male co-actor.

Global icon Priyanka Chopra recent made the headlines as she turned producer for Women of My Billion, which premiered on 3rd May at Amazon Prime. Now after almost serving more than 20 years in the entertainment industry, and contributing some best film, PeeCee spoke about pay disparity for female leads in the industry.

In an interview with The Quint, Priyanka expressed, “I feel bad that we constantly talk about the film industry. There are so many industries across the board but the conversation needs to be improved when it comes to women. Gender equity is such an important conversation. It took me 22 years to be able to get paid the same amount as my male co-actor. There are so many CEO friends of mine that get paid 1/4th of what their predecessor got paid.”

She added, “I was raised by a working mom. My mom’s sisters were also working moms. I think even the moms that are not ‘working moms’ are working all day. I think women don’t get enough credit for how much they work even if they don’t necessarily have a job.”

Speaking to the news agency, one of the relatives said, “We were asked to claim the body. When the hospital staff showed us his face, we found ligature marks on the neck. Seeing these marks, we are clear he was murdered after being tortured.”

The family of Anuj Thapan, who was found dead in a lock-up after being arrested in the Salman Khan firing case, refused to accept his body and demanded a probe by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).

As per a news agency’s report, a postmortem examination was conducted on Thursday evening at the state-run JJ Hospital, revealing ligature marks on the neck and signs of asphyxia on Thapan’s body. The detailed findings are yet to be disclosed. However, the next of the kin of the deceased alleged that the neck injury marks suggest murder rather than suicide.

As per sources, Thapan’s two uncles and a cousin travelled from Punjab to Mumbai. The police showed them the body, after which they refused to accept it. The autopsy procedure, conducted in the presence of forensic doctors and videographed for documentation purposes, lasted from 4.15pm to around 5.15pm Thursday. The body has now been kept in the morgue.

Speaking to the news agency, one of the relatives said, “We were asked to claim the body. When the hospital staff showed us his face, we found ligature marks on the neck. Seeing these marks, we are clear he was murdered after being tortured.” He further said, “We will not accept the body till our demand (of CBI probe) is met. If it’s accepted, then we will claim the body by tomorrow. The police personnel involved in the death must be punished.”

Tucker Carlson last night released the 100th episode of his show on X, his comeback project following an unceremonious departure from Fox News. The milestone episode, featuring conservative commentator Dan Ball, addressed long-standing areas of interest for Carlson, such as congressional efforts to censor Right-of-centre voices. Indeed, it felt like a throwback to his cable days — more a lament of government overreach and the erosion of free speech than his continuing turn towards eccentric content about UFOs and the legal travails of alt-Right internet personalities.

Carlson’s shift towards fringe content was arguably necessary to maintain viewer interest outside of Fox’s huge mainstream platform. By featuring controversial figures such as conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, manosphere advocate Andrew Tate, and “Gay Obama” truther Larry Sinclair, Carlson has banked on the sensationalism and divisiveness these guests bring to sustain high engagement levels.

When I spoke to people close to Carlson’s current and previous shows, there was a consensus that these wackier episodes have negatively impacted the credibility and broader appeal of his platform, while also overshadowing more intimate and interesting conversations he has conducted with the likes of iconoclastic golfer John Daly, disgraced former CNN journalist Chris Cuomo, UFC boss Dana White, and trucking-industry writer Gord Magill.

To that end, Carlson’s well-publicised conversation with Vladimir Putin, which was criticised even by the Russian President himself for its lack of challenging questions, highlights the diminishing journalistic rigour of his highest-profile interviews. This shift towards embracing edgier guests and subject matter indicates a deeper commitment to niche content, which risks isolating a more varied audience.

Declining viewership statistics substantiate that view. Initially, Carlson’s X episodes consistently garnered over 100 million impressions, reaching their zenith around the middle of last year. However, a precipitous drop is evident from mid-December, with episodes struggling to surpass the 50-million-view mark and most attracting 10-30 million views. Additionally, this metric, which counts views regardless of viewing duration and even includes autoplays occurring in newsfeeds, does not tell us how long or in what ways most viewers actually engaged with these episodes.

Genuine growth would come from working to broaden that declining base, not merely shoring it up. According to insiders, while the absence of a traditional corporate structure has granted Carlson increased autonomy, it has also eliminated a crucial layer of editorial oversight. These sources have noted a shift towards targeting a less discerning audience, emphasising sensationalism over substantive discourse in order to keep the attention of more credulous viewers — one insider notes a current “audience minus about 10-15 IQ points from the prime-time show” — interested in space aliens and Obama’s alleged gay trysts.

Insiders tell me that previously, at Fox News, Carlson’s show was carefully crafted as appointment viewing. His prime-time slot at 8pm was built around a tightly scripted monologue, the result of hours of preparation by his production team. This format ensured that each episode was a polished delivery of Carlson’s viewpoints, designed to capture and retain a large national audience. The goal was to take innovative Right-wing views from Twitter and present them in a format accessible to a broader, not necessarily online-savvy audience. This strategy successfully mainstreamed what were often fringe opinions, making them palatable to a larger viewership.

Britney Spears claimed paramedics “illegally” came to her Los Angeles hotel room as she denied getting hurt during a fight with her boyfriend.

The series boasts off an ensemble of actors like Manisha Koirala, Aditi Rao Hydari, Sonakshi Sinha, Sharmin Segal, Sanjeeda Sheikh, Fardeen Khan, Richa Chadha, Shekhar Suman, and Adhyayan Suman

Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s OTT debut Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar is finally streaming on Netflix. And since thy name is Sanjay Leela Bhansali, the scale and opulence have to be unprecedented. The show isn’t just extravagant but also enormously expensive in its craftsmanship. A report by Bollywood Hungama stated it took around Rs 200 crore to make this vision come alive on the screens. And Bhansali has taken home Rs 60-65 crore.

The series boasts off an ensemble of actors like Manisha Koirala , Aditi Rao Hydari, Sonakshi Sinha, Sharmin Segal, Sanjeeda Sheikh, Fardeen Khan, Richa Chadha, Shekhar Suman, and Adhyayan Suman. Here’s how much they got paid as per a report by FilmiBeat:

Sonakshi Sinha- 2 crore

Manisha Koirala- 1 crore

Aditi Rao Hydari- 1-1.5 crore

Richa Chadha- 1 crore

Sanjeeda Sheikh- 40 lacs

In its review of the series, Firstpost wrote- “Netflix’s Heeramandi was a comeback for both Manish Koirala and Fardeen Khan and most importantly both of them are playing their age. The beauty about Manisha Koirala is that she is so beautifully flawed and those lines under her eyes make her even more attractive. Bhansali has shown the different age groups of the courtesans in the most realistic way, not trying to hide anybody’s flaws behind the makeup. In fact, each and every characters in the show are ‘perfectly imperfect’.”

Aditi Rao Hydari and Siddharth announced their engagement on Instagram in March. The actors have been dating for a few years now.

Actors Aditi Rao Hydari and Siddharth put the rumours to rest as they announced their engagement on Instagram in March this year. In a recent interview, Aditi shared further details about their low-key engagement and disclosed that the ceremony took place at her family’s 400-year-old temple.

In an interview with Bobbly Bubble, Aditi said, “I wanted to mark our beginning at a temple of my family which is 400 years old. I wanted to go there and do puja and we had a little engagement. There were so many rumours going around, so to clarify them we decided to put up this photo on Instagram because my mom told me, ‘Please logo ko bata do, call aarahe hai nonstop (Please tell people, I am receiving calls nonstop).’ So, it was – ‘She said yes, he said yes.’”

Announcing their engagement, the actors shared a photo in which they are seen showing off their engagement rings. She shared in the caption, “He said yes! ❤️ E. N. G. A. G. E. D. 💫” Siddharth also shared the same photo and wrote in the caption, “She Said YES! ❤️ E. N. G. A. G. E. D 💫”. During the interaction, Aditi also revealed that this photograph was taken at her home.

In an earlier conversation at the Galatta Golden Stars event, Siddharth opened up about the private engagement ceremony and also discussed their marriage plans. He said, “Many told me we had done this (get engaged) in secret. There’s a big difference between doing something privately with family and in secret. The ones whom we didn’t invite think it’s a secret, but the ones who were there know it was private.”

He continued, “These questions on how long it took (for her to say yes) shouldn’t be asked. The end result must be either yes or no, pass or fail. I was worried whether it would be a yes, luckily I passed. The wedding date will depend on the elders (of the family) and what they say. It isn’t like a shooting date I can decide on, it’s a lifetime date. It will happen at the right time once they decide.”

Shah Rukh Khan’s co-actor Suchitra Krishnamoorthi blasts at Bombay Shaving Co-owner over Prachi Nigam’s insensitive advertisement, take a look at what she said

Actress Suchitra Krishnamoorthi, renowned for her role as Shah Rukh Khan’s co-star in the film Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa, recently made headlines for her scathing criticism of Bombay Shaving Company and its owner in light of a controversial advertisement featuring Uttar Pradesh Class 10 board topper Prachi Nigam. Prachi’s exceptional academic achievement of scoring 98.5 per cent in the UP Class 10 board exams garnered widespread attention, but unfortunately, she faced cruel trolling regarding her appearance. Despite the outpouring of support from netizens, Bombay Shaving Co released an ad that sparked outrage, with the message directed at Prachi without her consent, stating, “Dear Prachi, They are trolling your hair today, they’ll applaud your AIR tomorrow.”

Joining the chorus of dissent on Thursday, Suchitra did not hold back as she took aim at Shantanu Deshpande, the owner of Bombay Shaving Co. In a bold move, she shared a photo of Deshpande on her social media platform, calling him out for his baldness and asserting that Prachi Nigam was far more attractive. Suchitra questioned the company’s ethical use of Prachi’s name without legal authorization and emphasized that true intelligence and sensitivity cannot be externally cultivated in individuals like Deshpande.

Expressing her dismay at the vitriol directed at a teenage girl who had excelled academically due to her facial features, Suchitra highlighted the need for compassion and respect towards Prachi. She contrasted this with her admiration for a team that demonstrated integrity by refraining from exploiting the situation for profit, opting instead to convey a genuine message of support to Prachi without any ulterior motives.

As per a report by the Hindustan Times, the rumoured couple is not in a hurry to make their relationship official. A source close to the actors stated that they prefer to keep their relationship away from the limelight as they want their fans to focus on their upcoming projects rather than their relationship. Bollywood Shaadis quoted the source saying, “Naga and Sobhita have found a happy place with each other, and are dating. They like to spend time with each other. They keep going on vacations together. However, they want to keep their private lives out of the public glare.”

The 36-year-old actress separated from her ex-husband Naga Chaitanya in 2021. The couple tied the knot in 2017, leaving their fans excited. While the reason for their separation is yet to be known, there have been a lot of speculations surrounding it. From the actor’s family being unhappy about Samantha’s choice of roles to his rumoured affair with Shobita Dhulipala, the divorced couple has maintained a silence on their relationship.

Gippy Grewal opened up about receiving death threats and attacks on Punjabi musicians Sidhu Moosewala and Amar Singh Chamkila

Punjabi filmmaker and musician Gippy Grewal is one of the sought-after celebrities from the film fraternity. Over the years he has made a name for himself with his down-to-earth personality and never forgetting his humble beginnings. He often opens up about his life before and after gaining popularity. Currently promoting his upcoming film ‘Shinda Shinda No Papa,’ where he stars alongside his real-life son, he recently opened up about receiving death threats and attacks on Punjabi musicians Sidhu Moosewala and Amar Singh Chamkila.

Talking about the recently released Imtiaz Ali directorial, Amar Singh Chamkila, he credited the filmmaker for casting Diljit Dosanjh in the lead role. While explaining how the film needed to be led by a Punjabi musician, he pointed out, “Chamkila belongs to the Punjabi audience first and then to the rest of the world.” During an interview with India.com, he added that if the makers had cast anyone else, the audience wouldn’t have been able to connect with the film. He shared, “If you take the right kind of artist, it helps. He has done a wonderful job and Imtiaz sir has also done a good job with the film.”

When asked about his take on Punjabi artists being attacked and murdered and if he feels vulnerable because of it, Grewal shared that he can’t stop the happenings around the world. As he is reminded of the extortion threats he received from a gangster in December last year, he revealed that he believes in doing his job just like Chamkila. The 41-year-old actor told the publication, “Jo cheezen ho rahi hain aap unhe taal nahin sakte, but you can be cautious. Hum isi cheez ke liye paida huye hain, hum yahi karengi, hum kahin aur bhi chale jate thai to phir wapas aa jate hain. Jahan aapka dil hai, wahi kaam karna chahiye.”

Kamal Haasan and Shruti Haasan had a rare conversation, shedding light on their father-daughter bond and the topic of Shah Rukh Khan came up.

Kamal Haasan and Shruti Haasan had a rare conversation, shedding light on their father-daughter bond, Kamal Haasan’s views on materialism, and his upbringing with limited finances. During the chat, Shruti asked Kamal about an unfulfilled wish, prompting him to discuss his thoughts on materialistic desires.

Kamal said, “There are a lot of those, a lot. My intention is not to list all of them. Listing them makes you go ‘I want this, that, and this.’ That’s when I remind myself, at Eldams Road (where his old family home is situated), my father gave me a small room that could perhaps fit two pianos. It was on the top floor… so, the heat! The restroom was three floors down. My father’s attitude was, ‘you know a lot so stay here. When you think you can’t go on like this, tell me and I will buy you a cow that you can rear.”

He said that used to think all he wants is Rs 10,000 per month. He had listed things he’d like to do with that money. He “I don’t even remember the things on that list. But those wants helped me sleep. I wanted to buy a scooter, then I wanted to buy a car. Now, when I have the wealth to buy all of those things, ‘I wonder what do I want? A plane?’ I recently watched an interview of Shar Rukh (Khan). He said he wants to buy a plane. I felt happy seeing him because he still has a list. Personally, I feel, I shouldn’t have any list. I am not trying to become ascetic. Where is the end to it? Okay, if I want a plane, I wonder, how much will I use it? If I buy a big house like this in Kodaikanal, how much time will I spend there? Maximum one month. Then I will run back here. Why should I then buy a bungalow there?”

Delhi Police arrived at the above key details after the initial investigation, as per sources. It also found that Gurucharan withdrew ₹7,000 from an ATM in Delhi. His last known location, on April 24, was traced to be Palam, a few kilometres away from his home. His phone has been switched off since then.

“His flight was scheduled for 8.30 pm on Monday, but he was seen at a traffic intersection in Palam at around 9.14 pm,” officials said, as per the report. He was seen crossing the road, carrying a backpack in the last found CCTV footage of the actor. In his complaint, Gurucharan’s father said that he left for Mumbai from Delhi via a flight on April 22, but never reached the destination. The police are also monitoring CCTV footage around his home to trace the route he took to the airport.

About the missing case

Fans and well-wishers of popular television actor Gurucharan Singh, known for his role as Sodhi in the series Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah, are concerned with his mysterious disappearance over the past few days. Gurucharan, who is believed to have been visiting his parents in Delhi, was expected to return to Mumbai but has not been heard from since April 22.

The actor’s father is deeply distressed and filed a complaint with the Delhi Police, detailing his son’s sudden disappearance since his departure for Mumbai.

Rohit Meena, DCP South West Delhi, had told ANI, “Gurucharan’s family registered a complaint that he has been missing since April 22. He was supposed to go to Mumbai, but he didn’t. We have registered a case under Section 365 of the IPC. We have put together a team to probe the matter and our technical team is also working on the case. We are in the process of going over the CCTV footage, where he is seen walking by himself.”

You’d have to have been hiding under a rock for the past several years to not have an inkling who Zendaya is – but Challengers is the film that finally serves up her star quality to an audience in the most undeniable way.

The latest film from Call Me By Your Name director Luca Guadagnino, Challengers examines the tightly interwoven relationship between three young tennis starsacross more than a decade.

Ably supported by The Crown’s Josh O’Connor and West Side Story Bafta nominee Mike Faist, Zendaya’s mastery of her craft has never been more confident.

A former Disney Channel child star and singer, the 27-year-old has been making waves in Hollywood for a while thanks to her roles in The Greatest Showman, the Spider-Man franchise and the Dune film series.

She’s even scored a double Emmy win for her turn as recovering teen addict Rue Bennett in the headline-grabbing TV series Euphoria.

But it’s now, with Challengers, that it feels like her moment has truly arrived, breaking through from a Gen Z idol into mainstream success.

As Tashi Duncan, a hotshot in the sport destined for the biggest titles before she’s forced to retire after a career-ending injury, Zendaya gives us a nuanced, adult performance.

We watch her coach her less naturally talented husband Art (Faist) in the near present day, while jumping back 13 years to discover the start of her acquaintance with him and his close friend and doubles partner, Patrick.

Strategising for her husband’s comeback after a losing streak, things take a surprising turn when he must face off against Patrick – who is also Tashi’s former boyfriend – in a challengers match.

Of course Guadagnino has managed to infuse the film’s dialogue and sizzling chemistry with the intensity and rhythm of a game of tennis, as well as keeping the literal volleys, serves and backhands themselves engaging with energetic camerawork, accompanied by a pulse-poundingly stirring soundtrack from Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross.

Genuinely, it is no shade to anything else in the movie to call its music one of its standout features, alongside Zendaya.

Much has been made of the tease of a threesome between her and co-stars O’Connor and Faist in the trailer, but Challengers might possibly be one of the sexiest films you’ll ever watch without any actual sex scenes. Everything lives in the hornier but (mostly) clothes-on grey area of steamy make-out sessions and grinding.

There’s also an extremely graphic description of how Art and Patrick came to – ahem – know themselves as curious tweenagers. But a lot of the tension is saved, and utitlised, for the tennis court.

Zendaya excels at portraying the complicated temptation that lies between all three of them, gingerly dipping her toe into the boys’ friendship when they both first meet her.

Also – she’s funny. Her timing is exquisite when it comes to making scenes pop off the screen. There’s nothing especially humorous on the screenplay’s page about Tashi’s pauses during her first encounter with the boys, but Zendaya invites viewers into her thought process.

The student released video showing the pop superstar’s flights

TAYLOR Swift’s private jet tracker has revealed he’s heard nothing since the star’s legal team sent a cease and desist letter to stop him from “stalking” her online.

Computer student Jack Sweeney remains defiant and kept on posting the whereabouts of the singer’s two private jets, although she sold one earlier this year.

The 21-year-old has doubled down on releasing flight data, and this month released a YouTube video of all of Taylor’s flights from 2023, which would be enough to fly around the globe seven times.

He hasn’t counted how many there are but was told it’s over 170 flights.

The video concludes with the info that “Swift’s two private jets flew 178,000 miles in 2023 equivalent to flying around the earth 7 times. emitting ~ 1200 tons of C02 in the process. That’s 83 times the average American.”

He added a direct Taylor quote, “Jet lag is a choice.”

It was a comment the star made after flying from Tokyo to Las Vegas to watch boyfriend Travis Kelce win the Super Bowl.

Jack – a junior at the University of Central Florida – has faced unprecedented scrutiny after Taylor, 34, sent a “cease and desist letter” on December 22 claiming that he was assisting stalkers.

“While this may be a game to you, or an avenue that you hope will earn you wealth or fame, it is a life-or-death matter for our Client,” the letter read.

“Ms Swift has dealt with stalkers and other individuals who wish her harm since she was a teenager… the reality has forced our Client to live her life in a constant state of fear for her personal safety.”

Fans flooded Justin Bieber’s comments after he posted a few selfies of him crying on Saturday.

The “Never Say Never” singer shared a series of photos on Instagram and included two of him looking into the camera while tearing up.

In one of the photos, Bieber –– who wore a light green bucket hat and white zip-up sweatshirt –– had a tear swelling up in one of his eyes while he took the selfie.

The second snap then showed the tear rolling down Bieber’s cheek while he furrowed his eyebrows and stared off to the side.

The Grammy winner, 30, shared the selfies along with a variety of photos and also included pictures of him singing on stage and a hut in the middle of a forest.

Bieber didn’t include a caption on his photo dump but also shared five other posts that also featured selfies, but he wasn’t crying in any of them and actually smiled in most of them.

Shortly after sharing the two snaps of him getting emotional, fans expressed their concern in the comments.

“why u crying tho 😭,” one fan commented.

“I hope you are doing okay, i hate to see tears running down your face 💔,” another user shared.

“Justin what happened bro why are u crying ❤️🙌🙌🔥,” someone asked.

Sanjay Leela Bhansali is all set for the OTT release of his upcoming period drama TV series Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar. It stars Richa Chadha, Shekhar Suman and others.

Richa Chadha recently worked with Sanjay Leela Bhansali in their upcoming TV series Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar along with several talented actors.

Hence, when co-star Shekhar Suman called him a perfectionist and stated that ‘perfectionists are always short-tempered’, she differed with his opinions and came to the director’s defense. Read on to know what she said.

Is Sanjay Leela Bhansali ‘temperamental’? Here’s what Richa Chadha thinks
While talking to News18 Showsha, Richa Chadha divulged that to call any person ‘temperamental’ is a subjective opinion. She added, “You could call me temperamental. I could be on my period and actually be temperamental, physically.”

Earlier, Shekhar Suman, who is a part of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar with the mom-to-be told Siddharth Kannan in an interview that it doesn’t matter if the filmmaker is short-tempered. “He has every right to be. Why does he get angry? He’s not a madman, but he is a perfectionist,” he stated.

Richa Chadha says it’s not wrong for Sanjay Leela Bhansali to tell actors to do their jobs
In the same interview, the Fukrey actress asserted that no matter what, the actors have to deliver because there are scores of people like the lighting team on an ‘already constructed set’ waiting for them. “I’m not saying that one needs to be inhuman in terms of treating an actor. But this is literally our job. I don’t understand why people say these things,” she opined adding that actors are coddled.

She further added that on a massive show, it sometimes happens that actors might not want to give a long shot and want their body doubles to give cues to other actors. “They themselves might not want to give cues, step in hot water, and do a take 99 times. But these are the things that are asked of an actor irrespective of whether they’re ill or it’s pouring,” the Love Sonia actress flagged.

Citing her own example, she clarified that apart from being an actor, she is also a producer now and according to her it’s a ‘privileged job’. “We aren’t the first or the last ones to leave a set. Whenever we stand, someone comes and offers us a chair to sit on and water to drink,” Richa stated that people always ask them about their well-being on sets.

Moreover, when it comes to Sanjay, there is a lot of money riding on him and his projects. “I would probably have the same high standards if I was a director. Bhansali sir is the captain of the ship. And at the same time, I find him to be very compassionate about our moods,” she clarified.

Sushant Singh Rajput’s sister Shweta Singh Kirti has launched an online campaign to seek justice for her brother’s death. Sushant was found dead in his Mumbai apartment in June 2020. While some suspected to be a case of death by suicide, others had alleged foul play. His sister is often seen urging authorities to fasten probe into the actor’s death case.

On Saturday, Shweta Singh Kirti took to her Instagram handle and announced ‘Nany 4 SSR Jan Andolan’. As a part of this campaign, Shweta urged everyone to tie a red cloth on their wrist or forehead, post the video on social media and request agencies to give justice to the late actor. In the caption of her post, SSR’s sister also urged CBI to fasten the probe and “unveil the truth”.

“In about 45 Days We will complete 4 Years of My Brother Sushant’s Demise. I appeal to the CBI to Expedite their inquiry & Unveil the Truth Let us stand together in unity: Tie a red Cloth on your Wrist or Forehead, capture the moment, and share it using #Nyay4SSRJanAndolan,” Shweta Singh Kirti wrote.

Taylor Swift’s latest album, The Tortured Poets Department, has secured the biggest UK opening week in seven years moving 270,00 units – since Ed Sheeran’s ÷ (Divide), which logged 670,000 first-week UK chart units.

Taylor Swift has equalled Madonna’s record as the female artist with the most UK number one albums in Official Chart history after her latest release.

The singer-songwriter released her 11th studio album, The Tortured Poets Department, on 19 April.

The 14-time Grammy winner, 34, has broken a string of records following the release of her highly anticipated album, which is thought to contain references to her ex-boyfriend Joe Alwyn and The 1975’s Matty Healy.

On the day of release her album, Swift became the first artist in Spotify history to achieve more than 300 million streams in a single day.

With it, the American artist secured her 12th number one on the Official Albums Chart, outselling the rest of the top 10 combined.

Swift’s new album eclipsed her previous record of 204,000 units moved in seven days,

This brought her level with pop-legend Madonna’s all-time record for most UK number one albums by a female artist.

Alongside that, it secured the biggest opening week in seven years, moving 270,000 units.

However, she didn’t come close to Ed Sheeran’s 2017 album ÷ (Divide) which logged 670,000 first-week UK chart units.

In an exclusive chat with Zoom, Arbaaz Khan shared what he thought about Malaika Arora calling him ‘indecisive’. Read on to know what he said.

Arbaaz Khan has shared his opinion on ex-wife Malaika Arora’s recent remark about him. In the second episode of her and Arbaaz’s son Arhaan Khan’s podcast Dumb Biryani, Malaika called her hubby ‘indecisive’. She further added that Arhaan acquired the same trait from his father.

Angelina Jolie says she shouldn’t have to turn over all her past NDAs to her ex, Brad Pitt, in their epic war over their $500 million winery.

Jolie’s lawyers claim in newly filed court docs obtained by Page Six that a recent motion by Pitt asking to see Jolie’s NDAs with any third parties is “expensive,” “wasteful,” “unreasonable” — and even “abusive.”

Jolie, 48, has argued in court docs that Pitt, 60, asked her to sign an expansive NDA in their scuttled Miraval deal because he was trying to silence her from speaking about allegations he was abusive to Jolie and their family, including on a flight from France to California in 2016.

Jolie has alleged previously: “While Pitt’s history of physical abuse of Jolie started well before the family’s September 2016 plane trip from France to Los Angeles, this flight marked the first time he turned his physical abuse on the children as well. Jolie then immediately left him.”

The “Maleficent” star is also claiming in new court papers that turning over other NDAs she has signed would be an invasion of privacy for the other parties — presumably including movie studios, brands and employees — revealing “contracts that include Jolie’s compensation or compensation she paid to third parties.”

Jolie’s side has claimed Pitt wanted Jolie to sign an unfairly “onerous” and “expansive” NDA, “covering Pitt’s personal misconduct, whether related to Miraval or not,” in order for her to sell her stake to him.

The exes’ deal fell through — over the unfair NDA, she claims — and Jolie then sold her shares to a Stoli Group subsidiary. Pitt has opposed the Stoli deal and alleged she unfairly sold the stake out from under him.

Earlier this month, Pitt’s team filed documents in LA Superior Court stating Jolie should disclose other NDAs she has entered into with third parties, including her own personal staff. The “Fight Club” actor’s side has said these other NDAs will shed light on whether Jolie truly found Pitt’s non-disclosure agreement request to be “the deal-ender she subsequently alleged it to be.”

But in the new court papers, Jolie’s lawyers respond: “Pitt apparently intends to argue that, over the past two decades, Jolie had or at least considered other NDAs with other people and entities, about other matters not in any way connected with Pitt’s abuse. He says he wants to argue that since Jolie considered and/or entered other NDAs over her lengthy career, his proposed NDA covering his spousal and child abuse couldn’t possibly have been the reason the deal collapsed.”

Jolie’s lawyers further state: “To effectuate this plan, Pitt now demands that Jolie review every contract she has ever considered or entered over the last two decades to see if any contained any form of NDA (both non-disparagement and non-disclosure).”

Jolie’s side argues turning over such exhaustive documents would also reveal private info on others, violating their rights.

“By their nature, Pitt’s Requests seek to intrude on Jolie’s privacy,” says Jolie’s new filing. “The Requests seek contracts between Jolie (or any of her entities) and any other person or entity. Most, if not all,
of these agreements will be employment-related contracts that include Jolie’s compensation or compensation she paid to third parties.”

The documents also argue, “These third parties have their own privacy rights, and Pitt is not giving them any notice whatsoever to allow them to protect their rights.”

The papers say that Pitt’s latest NDA request is “simply not relevant to this case.”

Govinda may not be on talking terms with his nephew Krushna Abhishek, but he looked happy as he attended his niece Arti Singh’s wedding in Mumbai.

Actor Govinda put past differences aside for an evening, when he attended the wedding of Krushna Abhishek’s sister, Arti Singh, to businessman Dipak Chauhan. The actor and his nephew might not be on talking terms, but that doesn’t mean he didn’t look happy about attending his niece’s wedding.

Govinda attends Arti’s wedding
Fans were surprised to see videos and pictures of Govinda at Krushna’s sister’s wedding given the years-long feud between the uncle and nephew. The actor looked dapper in a black bandhgala as he greeted the paparazzi outside before making his way in. Talking to Instant Bollywood after attending the wedding, he said, “Ishvar se praarthana hai, jo kripa Arti par hui hai kisi prakaar ka vastu dosh na lage (I pray for her wellbeing and may god protect her from evil eyes).”

Krushna and Kashmera express happiness

Apart from Tamannaah Bhatia, actor Sanjay Dutt was also summoned in the same case earlier his week. Rapper Badshah has also been questioned previously.

Actor Tamannaah Bhatia has been summoned by the Maharashtra Cyber department in a case related to the illegal broadcast of the 2023 edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) on Fairplay app, a subsidiary of Mahadev online gaming and betting application.

Tamannaah, known for her roles in films like ‘Baahubali’, has been summoned on April 29.

Earlier, rapper and singer Badshah was questioned in the same case. Actor Sanjay Dutt was also summoned in the case this week on Tuesday, but he has sought time to appear before the department.

All these actors and singers had promoted the Fairplay app to watch IPL even as the app didn’t have official broadcasting rights, leading to heavy losses for official broadcasters.

In September last year, an FIR was registered following a complaint by Viacom18, which possesses the Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) for streaming IPL matches. The complaint mentioned that betting app Fair Play platform was streaming the IPL matches illegally on their platform, leading to over Rs 100 crore loss for Viacom18.

Double the fun!

Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift went on a private couples’ getaway with Bradley Cooper and Gigi Hadid to Carmel-by-the-Sea, Calif., Page Six can confirm.

A source told us that Travis’ mom, Donna Kelce, was overheard on Wednesday at the QVC’s Age of Possibility summit in Las Vegas telling people about the double date.

Additionally, a fan claimed on Instagram that the “Bad Blood” singer and the Kansas City Chiefs star, both 34, were seen dining at the La Bicyclette Restaurant in the city.

According to People, who first broke the news, Cooper was at the same QVC event as Donna Wednesday and greeted him, saying, “Travis told me you were going to be here.”

Travis and Swift have been keeping a low profile since they were seen getting cozy together during weekend one of Coachella.

The tight end and the Grammy winner danced and packed on the PDA while watching her pals Ice Spice and Jack Antonoff perform.

At one point during the festival, Swift apologized to her beau for being so “drunk,” according to a lip reader.

Travis also protectively wrapped his arms around the billionaire pop star as they swayed from side to side.

Swift and the athlete went public with their relationship last September when she attended one of his football games.

Ayushmann Khurrana recently made shocking revelations about celebrities hiring stylists and renting their clothes instead of buying them

After basking in the success of Dream Girl 2, he has been enjoying his time with his family. The actor recently opened up about his peers and revealed that many celebrities don’t buy designer outfits but their hired stylists source it for them so they continue to stay in the ongoing trends.

During an interview with Mashable India, Khurrana opened up about Bollywood celebrities renting their outfits from fashion designers. Quoted by the Free Press Journal, he said, “Pura Bollywood rent pe hai. Aapko lagta hai hum kapde kharedte hai? We hire stylists, they source the clothes and then return them.

Sanjay Leela Bhansali is gearing up for his debut web series called Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar. He is known to be a strict filmmaker. Shekhar Suman who will be seen in Heeraandi have defened the filmmaker.

Sanjay Leela Bhansali is one helluva filmmaker. He is known for his grandiose films, amazing music, beautiful love stories in films and also for his temper or strictness on set while filming. Several movie stars have talked about the temper issue of SLB. Some of the celebrities have also defended the filmmaker over the same. And now, coming to Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s defence is Shekhar Suman, who will be seen in SLB’s debut web series called Heeramandi: The Diamon Bazaar.

Shekhar Suman defends Heeramandi maker Sanjay Leela Bhansali for his temper issues
Shekhar asks how it matters if the filmmaker is short-tempered. “He has every right to be. Why does he get angry? He’s not a madman, but he is a perfectionist,” Shekhar Suman, who plays Zulfiqaar in Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar tells Siddharth Kannan. He defends the filmmaker saying that perfectionists tend to be short-tempered because they get impatient with others for not being at the same level as them. Suman shares that he knows a lot of people who are legends in their crafts and are short-tempered. He takes the names of K Asif, Mehboob Khan and even Raj Kapoor.

Shekhar Suman says that it doesn’t matter what people say about Sanjay Leela Bhansali adding that he has every right to be angry. The actor shares he would in fact want SLB to be angrier if the results (outcome) are so good. Suman asks to look at Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s work which is not just for the audience but also for the posterity.  

Adhyayan Suman also comes to Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s defence

Adhyayan Suman who plays Zoravar in Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar says that SLB treats everyone on sets like his children. He says that one cannot imagine how the filmmaker might portray or interpret a scene. And by the time the actors come on set, the entire scene has been changed. Adhyayan also adds to the statements of celebs calling SLB an institution saying there cannot be a better film school. However, he does add, “If you’ve survived Bhansali, you can handle anything.” Adhyayan was very worried about messing up on his first day. He had locked himself up inside the bathroom and Shekhar had to come to his rescue. SLB was impressed with Adhyayan’s Urdu pronunciation and guessed that Shekhar had helped him.

Aayush Sharma opened up about a time when he didn’t have the money to buy breakfast but never asked Salman Khan for help.

Aayush Sharma recently addressed conversations around his marriage with Salman Khan’s sister, Arpita. He acknowledged the common public perception that he married her because he wanted to become an actor and needed his brother-in-law, superstar Salman Khan’s support. He called these allegations “baseless”. He told Siddharth Kannan, “was Arpita so ‘bholi bhaalo’ (naive) that she didn’t know why I was marrying her? People should know that before I got married, I had already given over 300 auditions and I had not cracked even one, so I was like I can’t do it. That’s when Salman said that my training was not nice and that he’d train me.”

Aayush, who’ll soon be seen in the action film Ruslaan, said that a false narrative was spun against him, implying that he is wasting Salman Khan’s money. Reacting to this, he said, “Then the narrative that was built was that I was wasting Salman Khan’s money. Should I have shared my income tax details on Instagram? Should I have showed people how much money I have and what I do with it? I’ll share a personal account with you — when on Friday Loveyatri (2018) had failed, Salman bhai called me that night to ask me what the reaction was like. I had tears in my eyes and told him, ‘Sorry, maine aapke paise dubaa diye (I wasted your money) and he said that I had gone mad. He wanted to know what I was thinking, feeling, so I said I was I wasted your money and that’s my biggest problem.”

Aayush also shared that there was a time he didn’t have the money to even buy breakfast for himself because his father was against his decision to become an actor. He shared, “When Antim (2021, also starring Salman Khan) came, I was here only at Ayaz (a restaurant in Bandra). I have a backstory of Ayaz. When I had just Rs 20 on me, I had my last meal there at night. After that, I didn’t have the money for breakfast. It’s the time when my father was against my decision to become an actor. I was at Ayaz, having a roll, and I got a call that the satellite and all the other rights of the film were all sold. When I heard the price, I wasn’t happy that Antim was releasing and we were going to make money, I was happier because hisaab kitaab barabar (accounts were settled) and that we had made a profit. Until then, I had a pressure on my head that a family member’s money was stuck.”

Kim Kardashian wants Taylor Swift to “move on” from their years-old feud after the singer dropped an apparent diss track about the Skims founder on her 11th studio album, “The Tortured Poets Department.”

An insider told People on Tuesday that Kardashian, 43, is “over” the drama and thinks it is time for the 14-time Grammy winner to put their beef to rest.

Kardashian “doesn’t get why [Swift] keeps harping on it,” the source told the outlet.

“It’s been literally years.”

Swift surprised fans on Friday by releasing not one but two albums — the latter of which included a song seemingly about her bad blood with the “Kardashians” star.

“All that time you were throwin’ punches, I was buildin’ somethin’ / And I can’t forgive the way you made me feel,” she sings.

“Screamed ‘F—k you, Aimee’ to the night sky, as the blood was gushin’/ But I can’t forget the way you made me heal.”

Fans also quickly noticed that the three capitalized letters in the title spell out Kardashian’s first name.

Reps for the Skkn founder did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.

The feud between the two began in 2016 when Kanye West, who was married to Kardashian at the time, sang about Swift in his song, “Famous.”

Director Ram Gopal Varma had earlier created a controversy by claiming that singer Sukhwinder Singh had created the Grammy and Oscars awards winning song ‘Jai Ho’ from ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ (2008) and not music maestro AR Rahman.

Noted director Ram Gopal Varma had created quite a controversy after he claimed that it was singer Sukhwinder Singh who created the Grammy award winning song ‘Jai Ho’ from ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ and not music maestro AR Rahman.

Now, singer Sukhwinder Singh who sang the popular and award-winning number has denied all such claims and he told Hindustan Times that he had only sung the song and that it was in fact composed by Rahman only.

“AR Rahman has composed the song, I have only sung it. Ram Gopal Varma ji koi chhoti hasti toh nahi hain, shayad unhe kuchh galat pata chala hoga. Gulzar saheb had written this song, Rahman liked it. Then he composed it in my studio in Juhu, Mumbai. He made Subhash ji listen to it. I had not sung the song till that point of time,” he told the site.

In an interview with Film Companion, director Ram Gopal Varma had revealed a few details about ‘Jai Ho’ and how it was initially composed for Subhash Ghai’s 2008 film ‘Yuvvraaj’. But since it didn’t fit into his film’s soundtrack, Ghai rejected it and then AR Rahman used it for the 2008 Oscar winning movie ‘Slumdog Millionaire’, which had Dev Patel and Freida Pinto in it.

Zeenat Aman recently advised young people to opt for live-in relationships before marriage

New Delhi: In response to actor Zeenat Aman’s advocacy for couples to experience a live-in relationship before marriage, veteran actor Mukesh Khanna expressed strong disapproval, labelling the notion as “unacceptable”. He also attributed it to “Western” influence. Speaking to Dainik Jagran, Mukesh Khanna condemned the idea, stating that it contradicts Indian cultural values and history. He criticised Zeenat Aman, suggesting that her perspective reflects a lifestyle aligned with Western civilisation. Mukesh Khanna’s comments come after actresses Mumtaz and Saira Banu voiced opposition to the concept of live-in relationships. In his rebuttal to Zeenat Aman’s stance, Mukesh Khanna spoke about the importance of thoughtful discourse, cautioning against the potential consequences of such arrangements within the framework of traditional Indian society.
Mukesh Khanna said, “Live-in relationships are not recognised in our culture and history. It has come from Western civilisation. Whatever Zeenat Aman is talking about, she has lived her life according to Western civilisation. It is not acceptable for a boy and girl to know each other through marriage, if they live together as husband and wife, imagine what happens to them. Those saying such things should speak thoughtfully.”

Rajkummar Rao Says THIS On Plastic Surgery

In a conversation with India Today, the actor said, “If you have seen that picture, it doesn’t even look like me. It was really funny because it’s not even me. I guess someone played a prank. I strongly believe that it was a touched-up image. People were using big words like plastic surgery, but I have never gone under the knife.”

He further added, “When I started out, people would comment on my looks. So yes, around eight-nine years back, I did get fillers. I did it to feel better and look better, so that my face looks balanced. It was prescribed by my dermatologist. And I really think if anyone wants to do that to gain confidence, then why not? There is no harm in it. I know a lot of people who enjoy it. They like dressing up and looking good. For me, I enjoy working out. Honestly, I think one should do whatever makes them happy and gives them confidence.”

Taylor Swift is facing backlash over saying she wanted to live in the 1830s “but without all the racists” on her new album, “The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology.“

On the track “I Hate It Here,” the 14-time Grammy winner sang about how she and her friends were discontent with living in this current era.

“My friends used to play a game where / We would pick a decade / We wished we could live in instead of this / I’d say the 1830s but without all the racists / And getting married off for the highest bid,” she sang.

Fans were quick to point out that slavery was still legalized in America in the 1830s.

“There is no way Taylor Swift said she’d like to live in an era where Chattel Slavery was the law of the land and say ‘but without the racists.’ Like it was some casual microaggressions or something. Is this what we’re doing??” tweeted one user.

“pretty astonishing to stipulate that she wants to live in the 1830s, ‘except without the racists,’ and not mention slavery, so slavery still exists but everyone’s chill about it,” added another.

“I know I can’t stfu abt Taylor Swift but of all time periods WHY THE 1830s??? The most notable event from the time period is the trail of tears like I cannot wrap my head around it? Is this another one of her dumbass codes?” asked a third fan.

“Taylor Swift wanting to go back to the 1830s surprised no Black person anywhere,” said a fourth user.

Page Six has reached out to Swift’s rep for comment but did not immediately hear back.

Elsewhere on the album, which was released on Friday, Swift, 34, seemingly took another jab at Kim Kardashian, whom she’s been feuding with since 2016.

In the song “thanK you aIMee,” the billionaire pop star sang about a “bronze, spray-tanned” bully who her mom “wish[es] were dead.”

The ED has attached assets worth Rs 98 crore of Shilpa Shetty and Raj Kundra in the ongoing Bitcoins fraud case.

In a major update in the Bitcoins fraud case, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) has attached Shilpa Shetty and her husband Raj Kundra’s assets worth Rs 98 crore, including a bungalow in Pune and equity shares, as part of a money laundering investigation.

The attached properties include a residential flat in Juhu, Mumbai, presently in the name of Shetty, a residential bungalow in Pune, and equity shares in the name of Kundra. The case pertains to cheating of investor funds through the use of Bitcoins.

Actress recalls the time when she decided to quit films

Actress-singer Suchitra Krishnamoorthi, fondly known as Anna from Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa has also made her name on stage. Her recent play Ek Haan with Shekhar Suman and helmed by Randhir Ranjan Roy received a great response. In an exclusive interview with The Free Press Journal, actress talks about how OTT is diminishing its charm, why she opted out of films in the 90s, how her relationship with ex-husband Shekhar Kapur has evolved and more. Excerpts:

You have been working nearly for three decades. How do you see the transition now?

It’s a beautiful transition since there are a lot of opportunities now. It is easy to get but difficult to stand out. It’s getting better with time for any actor or age groups. Artists are so much more independent today. There is openness to the thought process, mediums, art forms etc.

Go on…

Sometime back, I saw an actress making a face when asked about influencer, but look what are they doing in today’s time, how brilliant they are. There’s work and respect for everybody. I follow a lot of influencers and I love their content.

Why did you decide to leave films?

It was my personal choice. It was my journey and I didn’t know why people had issues with it. I am not one of them who thinks that there is no life beyond the movies. There is so much more to life.

Do you feel it is a lot easier to break norms through OTT as an actor?

OTT offers so much scope for the content but I feel, they are anchoring over stars. Earlier, content was the star and it was a welcome relief but now the star system has arrived and everyone is struggling due to unreasonable fees of celebrities. The makers should back the content and not the stars. Films are a different ballgame but why an OTT needs that first week viewership and unnecessary competitiveness.

In the early hours of April 14, gunfire was reported outside Salman Khan’s residence in Mumbai. The incident occurred around 4.55 am, as per initial reports by CNN-News18, with two individuals spotted on a motorcycle and fired three shots in the air. Heavy police deployment is currently seen outside the superstar’s residence, Galaxy Apartments. Mumbai Police have initiated efforts to nab the culprits by examining CCTV footage. The incident has been reported at the Bandra Police Station and the process of filing an FIR is underway.

Last year, Salman Khan found himself targeted by a death threat from Canada-based fugitive gangster Goldy Brar, who openly declared that the Bollywood superstar was on his gang’s hit list. Earlier in the year, Mumbai Police had filed an FIR against gangsters Lawrence Bishnoi and Goldy Brar, along with another individual, following an email threatening Salman Khan at his Mumbai residence.

According to police sources, three rounds were fired during the incident, which occurred around 4.55 am in the morning. The forensic team is expected to arrive at the scene soon to gather evidence. It’s being reported that the Mumbai Police Crime Branch will take over the case. Investigations are underway to determine those involved in the incident.

Salman Khan travels with an elaborate security team, especially since he was subjected to death threats earlier this year. He was granted Y+ security after he reportedly received a death threat from the Bishnoi Gang.

Back in April, when he received the threat, Salman said on Aap Ki Adalat, “I am going everywhere with full security. I know whatever is going to happen will happen no matter what you do. I believe that (refers to God) that he is there. It is not that I will start roaming freely, it is not like that. Now there are so many Shera’s around me, so many guns are going around with me that I am myself scared these days.”

Taylor Swift’s music is reportedly back on TikTok, with a return planned for some time despite the social media app’s furious public spat with the singer’s record label.

Taylor Swift’s music is reportedly back on TikTok just weeks after the social media app and her record label Universal Music publicly exchanged furious messages.

Universal accused TikTok of bullying ahead of their agreement to license content on the video platform expiring on 31 January – while the social media firm dismissed the “false narrative and rhetoric”.

After the deal expired, TikTok removed the music label’s songs from its platform and muted videos featuring those songs, written by anyone signed on to Universal.

But the Financial Times reports Swift’s return to the Chinese short-video app had been in the works for some time, citing people familiar with the matter.

Swift owns the copyright to her songs thanks to a deal struck in 2019 with Universal Music that gives her control of where her music is available, the report adds, unlike many other artists.

Sky News has approached TikTok and Universal Music for comment.

The move would mark a return to TikTok less than three months on from a public spat between the app and Universal.

In a scathing open letter shared online, titled Why We Must Call Time Out On TikTok, Universal said it had pressed on “three critical issues”.

These included payment for artists and songwriters, protection from the “harmful effects” of AI and online safety.

The video-hosting site responded to requests by the company, which is the biggest music label group in the world, “first with indifference, and then with intimidation”, the letter stated.

It also accused TikTok of attempting to “bully” Universal into accepting a deal “worth less than the previous deal” by removing music of developing artists while keeping the work of “audience-driving” global stars.

Renowned comedian and actor Vir Das added another feather to his cap by clinching an International Emmy for his Netflix stand-up comedy special, Vir Das: Landing in 2023. However, his recent encounter with a bizarre incident left him shaken. While at an eco resort for a shoot, Das found himself in a precarious situation when a snake unexpectedly plummeted from the ceiling as he entered the bathroom to relieve himself. Sharing the unnerving experience on social media, Das humorously recounted the snake’s unexpected descent right beside the toilet tank, leading him to declare that he might never pee again with such trepidation.

Vir Das has showcased his versatile talent not only in stand-up comedy but also in various movies, including notable titles like Namastey London, Badmaash Company, Go Goa Gone, Shaadi Ke Side Effects, Love Aaj Kal, and Shivaay. His recent appearance in the American film, The Bubble, released in 2022, saw him portraying the character of Ronjon alongside a star-studded cast featuring Karen Gillan, Pedro Pascal, and others.

In the biopic, Rajkummar will be seen as visually impaired industrialist Srikanth Bolla

The makers of Rajkummar Rao, Alaya F, Jyothika and Sharad Kelkar’s Srikanth: Aa Raha Hai Sabki Aankhein Kholne unveiled the intriguing trailer of the film in Mumbai on Tuesday. In the biopic, Rajkummar will be seen as visually impaired industrialist Srikanth Bolla. Directed by Tushar Hiranandani, the film is all set to hit the big screens on May 10.

During the event, Rajkummar shared his experience of working on the film. “Firstly, I want to thank Tushar who thought of me for this role. As an actor, I love challenges and these are the kinds of roles I always look forward to doing. When I came into this industry, the idea was to push myself as an actor and do versatile roles. I want to do everything and that’s the reason it took up this challenge,” he said.

Opening up about how he prepared for his role, the actor shared, “I spent a lot of time with Srikanth. Actually this film is not about Srikanth being visually impaired. That is a fact but we did not focus on that. When I met him, we were very normal. We were talking, discussing, he is very witty and funny. I asked him so many questions. As an actor, it was my job to observe him and take from him. Along with Tushar, I also visited a lot of schools for visually impaired people. I have spent hours there because I wanted to portray reality on screen. Even on sets, I was always Srikanth. That was the only way I could do this part. My art is too spiritual and I love it immensely.”

Rajkummar further explained how he related to Srikanth’s journey. He mentioned, “Our journeys are similar, we both come from humble backgrounds. We didn’t have the means. So I related to him. He had the grit and determination to fulfill his dream and that is exactly how my life was. I wanted to become an actor and had no other plans. I just kept working hard. I’m very glad I got the opportunity to play Srikanth. But there’s much more I would like to achieve in life.”

Sharing his experience of working on the biopic, Sharad gushed, “Tushar narrated the film and several stories of Srikanth to me before I signed the film. He told me about the chemistry between my character (Ravi) and Srikanth and it was quite interesting. Firstly, when you hear about such a film, you feel it will be emotional and sad but Tushar was clear that nothing will be like that. He said that it is a great film and that we all will have a lot of fun. It was a pleasure working with Rajkummar and I believe being friends is important before shooting for any film. We did exactly that. We became good friends and then acted. So our chemistry is very evident in the film.”

Jeetendra, in the prime of his career, spent so much time working in Southern films that his children, Ekta and Tusshar, hardly got to see their father. The regretful dad sighs, “It is true. I don’t remember anything about Ekta and Tusshar’s growing years. I don’t remember playing with them, being with them, attending their school functions. I was away shooting in Hyderabad.

Jeetendra grieves missing out on his children’s childhood. “That is the one missing link in my life. I wish I had spent more time with my children. Now when I have so much to spend with my grandson I feel I am getting another chance to relive Ekta and Tusshar’s childhood.”

Allu Arjun looks stunning in a new poster revealed by the makers of his upcoming film Pushpa 2 The Rule’s teaser reveal. The movie also starring Rashmika Mandanna and Fahadh Faasil will be released in theatres on August 15, 2024.

A day after leaving fans excited by dropping a ferocious poster of Allu Arjun as Pushpa Raj, the makers of Pushpa 2 The Rule have dropped yet another intriguing glimpse from the film piquing the curiosity among fans. A day ahead of the teaser reveal of Pushpa 2, the makers of the film dropped a new poster of Allu Arjun in a fiery avatar.

After the phenomenal success of his last release ‘Animal’, actor Ranbir Kapoor has been on cloud nine. The Bollywood star, in fact, recently purchased a brand new Bentley worth Rs 8 crore. He is also looking forward to the completion of his and his wife, actress Alia Bhatt’s bungalow, which has been under construction for many years now. On Sunday night, Ranbir was once again spotted taking a ride in his new car. He was not driving the car this time though.

However, the actor appeared to lose his cool when a swarm of photographers started running behind his car to capture him. In a video, shared by Viral Bhayani, Ranbir looks visibly agitated as photographers almost follow him to his building.

On Saturday night, Ranbir was captured by paparazzi driving his Bentley with Alia Bhatt seated next to him. Ranbir and Alia were seen exiting their apartment building Vastu for a late-night outing in Mumbai.

Monkey Man box office collection: Dev Patel’s directorial debut was made on a modest budget of $10 million.

Dev Patel’s Monkey Man, an India-set revenge thriller released by Universal Pictures, opened in 3,029 North American theaters with an estimated $10.1 million.

Monkey Man leaps to #2 BO debut
That marked a strong debut for Patel’s modestly budgeted directorial debut in which he stars in a bloody, politically charged action extravaganza. Monkey Man, which cost about $10 million to make, was dropped by its original studio, Netflix, after which Jordan Peele and his Monkeypaw Productions swooped in.

Monkey Man was inspired by the legend of Hanuman — a Hindu deity revered for his strength, loyalty and courage. Patel says that he saw a lot of parallels between Hindu mythology and the iconography of the superheroes that we know of today, like Superman.

The film centers on a character named Kid — played by Patel — who makes a living working in an underground fight club and who later seeks to avenge his mother’s horrific death by infiltrating the elite class of a Mumbai-like city.

Other big players
Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire easily swatted away a pair of challengers to hold on to the top spot at the box office for the second week in a row.

After its above-expectations $80 million launch last weekend, the MonsterVerse mashup brought in $31.7 million over its second weekend, a 60% drop from its debut. The Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures release, directed by Adam Wingard, has thus far outperformed any of the studio’s recent monster films except for 2014’s Godzilla.

But with $361.1 million worldwide in two weeks, Godzilla x Kong could ultimately leapfrog the $529 million global haul of 2014’s Godzilla. The latest installment, in which Godzilla and Kong team up, cost about $135 million to produce.

Godzilla x Kong extended its box-office reign as another primate-themed movie arrived in theaters.

The weekend’s other new wide release, The First Omen, from Disney’s 20th Century Studios, struggled to make a big impact with moviegoers. It came in fourth with an estimated $8.4 million in ticket sales in 3,375 theaters, while collecting an additional $9.1 million overseas. The R-rated horror film, which cost about $30 million to make, is a prequel to the 1976 Richard Donner-directed original starring Gregory Peck and Lee Remick.

This version, directed by Arkasha Stevenson and starring Nell Tiger Free, Tawfeek Barhom and Bill Nighy, follows 2006’s The Omen, which opened to $16 million and ultimately grossed $119 million.

The tepid opening for The First Omen allowed Sony’s Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire to take third place with $9 million in its third weekend of release. The sci-fi comedy sequel has collected $88.8 million domestically and $138 million worldwide.

Diljit Dosanjh has opened up about his childhood and relationship with his parents in a recent interview. The 40-year-old singer-actor, who was born in the village of Dosanjh Kalan (Punjab) in 1984, was speaking to Ranveer Allahabadia recently when he revealed that he was sent away by his parents to live with a relative in Ludhiana when he was just 11 years old. He shared that he wasn’t even asked about the decision and revealed that it was done to take care of his basic needs.

“I was eleven years old when I left my home and started living with my mamaji (maternal uncle). I came to the city leaving my village behind. I shifted to Ludhiana. He said ‘send him to the city with me’ and my parents said ‘yes, take him.’ My parents did not even ask me,” Diljit said.

Dosanjh mentioned that even though the decision to send him away from home strained his relationship with his parents, he respects them a lot. “I used to stay alone in a small room. I used to just go to school and come back, there wasn’t any TV. I had a lot of time. Also, we didn’t have mobile phones back then, even if I had to call home or receive a call from my parents, it cost us money. So I started becoming distant from my family,” he continued.

“I respect my mother a lot. My father is a very sweet person. He did not ask me anything. He did not even ask which school I studied. But my connection with them broke. Not just with them, with everyone,” the singer added.

Angelina Jolie is alleging that her ex-husband Brad Pitt’s physical abuse toward her “started well before” the 2016 plane incident that resulted in her filing for divorce, per documents obtained by Page Six.

On Thursday, the “Maleficent” actress’ legal team made the bombshell claims in an attempt to release communications that would prove the “Fight Club” star refused to allow his ex-wife to sell her portion of their Chateau Miraval French winery unless she signed an “onerous” and “expansive” NDA.

“While Pitt’s history of physical abuse of Jolie started well before the family’s September 2016 plane trip from France to Los Angeles, this flight marked the first time he turned his physical abuse on the children as well. Jolie then immediately left him,” the document reads.

According to the filing, the NDA Pitt, 60, allegedly proposed to Jolie, 48, would cover his “personal misconduct, whether related to Miraval or not,” in an attempt to prevent her from speaking on his alleged abuse.

Jolie’s lawyers also alleged Pitt wanted her to “contractually bind herself” to silence after he discovered in 2021 that she submitted a sealed filing, consisting of “emails, summaries of the family’s expected testimony and other evidence” to help settle their child custody dispute.

At the time, Pitt agreed to purchase Jolie’s shares of the French winery but allegedly backed out as he feared his ex’s sealed documents “could eventually become public,” the documents continue.

Days after Nitesh Tiwari started shooting for his upcoming movie, Ramayana, the first set video has surfaced on social media. Recently, actress Akruti Singh took to her Instagram stories and shared a video from the film’s grand Ayodhya set which has been constructed in Mumbai. The video featured several glimpses of huge pillars and massive palace-like structures. In the caption of the video, Akruti wrote, “Ramayana day 1”. However, the video was deleted later.

On April 2, it was reported that Nitesh Tiwari performed a puja on sets following which he began shooting for the film with secondary actors. Ranbir, who will be playing the role of Lord Ram in the movie, is likely to join the shoot in the coming days.

Even though Nitesh Tiwari has not officially announced Ramayana as of now, the film has been making headlines for a long time now. While Ranbir Kapoor will be playing the role of Ram in this movie, Sai Pallavi has been roped in for the role of Sita. Prior to Sai, Ranbir’s actress-wife, Alia Bhatt was in talks for the role of Sita but she backed out due to dates-related issues.

KGF star Yash is also likely to play Ravana in the movie whereas Sunny Deol has reportedly been locked for the role of Hanuman. Bobby Deol and Vijay Sethupathi are also reportedly in talks for the roles of Kumbhakarna and Vibhashana respectively. Arun Govil, popularly known for playing the role of Ram in Ramanand Sagar’s Ramayana, will now be stepping into the shoes of King Dashrath. Besides this, Lara Dutta will also be seen as Kaikeyi in the movie.

In February this year, it was reported that Ranbir Kapoor will undergo voice and diction training for the film. “Ranbir has a certain baritone and a way of speaking his lines. It is symbolic and if you have even closed your eyes, you can recognise a dialogue purely based on Ranbir’s voice. In ‘Ramayana’, Nitesh wants to make sure Ranbir sounds different from the characters he’s played in the past. Being a versatile actor, Ranbir is enjoying this process of trying something new,” a source cited by India Today claimed.

Kangana Ranaut has backed senior actress Hema Malini after the latter became a target of sexist remarks made by some political leaders. Kangana cited the example of ‘Vedas’ and asked those who passed the comment to ‘dug their own graves and bury themselves.’

Bollywood actress Hema Malini is known for her acting prowess and exceptional Bharatnatyam skills. The senior actress, who is also a BJP MP from Mathura, recently became a target of sexist remarks by politicians. The Sholay actress became a target of a leader who had said, “Why people elect their MLAs/MPs? So that they (MLAs/MPs) can raise the public’s voice. It’s not like Hema Malini, who was elected to lick.” While this statement was criticised a lot, Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut who recently ventured into politics has backed the Dream Girl.

Kangana Ranaut Backs Hema Malini
Reacting to the demeaning remarks towards Hema Malini, Kangana Ranaut said,”‘So how else should this be seen? If they see a young woman, they comment on her body parts. And a 75 year old senior woman, who is a classical Bharatanatyam dancer, is called Nachaniya or dancer and abuses like this. They don’t even leave an elderly woman, what kind of life do they want women to live in…it would be better if they dig their own graves and bury themselves in it?”

She went on to cite the example of the Vedas and said, “Such despicable thinking for a woman, that too for an artist who has dedicated her entire life to art. Not a single day would have gone by when he would not have practiced for 3-4 hours. Isn’t one of our Vedas, Samaveda, which discusses music and dance in detail? So, the thinking of those who make indecent comments on him by not seeing him as a knowledgeable person or a sage or a great personality is not hidden from anyone.”
