Smriti Irani posted a clip from Tees Maar Khan showing Akshay Kumar demanding an Oscar for Akshaye Khanna's character, and basically said that vibe applies to Khanna's work in Dhurandhar. The politician went full stan mode for the spy thriller earlier, writing about how the film hits different if you have met families of soldiers killed in action or visited places scarred by terror attacks.
She praised director Aditya Dhar for his research game and said Khanna's performance should be studied in acting classes. She also called out Ranveer Singh's intense stare work and mentioned R Madhavan playing a cinematic version of Ajit Doval. The whole post ended with her thanking actual intelligence operatives who risk their lives for the...
Harshvardhan Rane ditched the party scene for his birthday and headed to Velavadar in Gujarat for a wildlife safari instead. The Ek Deewane ki Deewaniyat actor posted about going into the wild and apparently finds more peace hanging out with animals than dealing with people. He recently came back from Nepal, where he spent time tracking tigers in Bardiya and shooting photos of cubs.
The guy treats wildlife photography like a serious hobby, camping in rough conditions and waiting around for hours to get decent shots. His Instagram stays loaded with big cats, birds, and forest shots because he spends most of his downtime trekking through reserves with camera equipment. He has mentioned before that the whole photography thing helps him...
Farah Khan went on Kunickaa Sadanand's YouTube series and admitted she stopped micromanaging everyone at home after years of controlling every detail on film sets. The choreographer-turned-director said her family is old enough to screw up on their own terms, and she refuses to stress herself out anymore because it just burns you out for life.
The whole thing came up because Kunickaa got emotional after Farah called her a control freak on Bigg Boss 19 over how she ran her kitchen. Kunickaa broke down in the confession room but later realized the criticism was spot-on. She said she used to smother people with care in all her relationships, whether romantic or otherwise, and decided to dial it back.
The YouTube show has Farah checking...
Shehnaaz Gill dropped some black-and-white photos on Instagram talking about how spending time by herself makes her feel complete. The Honsla Rakh actress wore a black tank with an open shirt and shorts in the shots, with one showing her pulling her hair into a bun.
Her latest work was Ikk Kudi, where she played someone whose family had a history of relationship disasters. The character got suspicious about her arranged marriage setup and went digging into what her fiancé was hiding.
Gill started as a model in 2015 and hit Punjabi cinema two years later with Sat Shri Akaal England. Bigg Boss season 13 blew her up into a household name. She has done films like Kala Shah Kala and Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan, plus a ton of music videos.
Sunil Lahri, who played Lakshman in the old Ramayan show, posted on Instagram about filming the kevat boat scene in brutal 50-degree heat. Director Ramanand Sagar made the cast walk barefoot across scorching sand, and when they asked to wear shoes, he shot them down. Their feet got wrecked, and they could barely put footwear back on afterward.
The Doordarshan series became a massive cultural thing back in the day, with entire streets clearing out on Sunday mornings when it aired. Arun Govil as Ram and Deepika Chikhalia as Sita basically became synonymous with the actual deities for viewers. The straightforward production style and reverent pacing made the epic accessible across different age groups and regions throughout India.
Geeta Basra thanked Mumbai Police for handling Messi's event way better than the disaster in Kolkata, where fans literally tore up seats and threw stuff on the field. The actress posted pics with the football legend alongside her husband Harbhajan Singh and their kids at the Cricket Club of India. She gave props to the police for keeping everything chill.
The Kolkata mess got serious when organizer Satadru Dutta got denied bail and landed in 14-day police custody over the violence. West Bengal's Chief Minister said she was shocked and launched an investigation into what went wrong.
Other Bollywood people showed up for Messi meets in Mumbai. Kareena brought her sons, and Ajay Devgn plus Tiger Shroff hit up Wankhede Stadium. Shah Rukh...
Live Nation grabbed a majority chunk of Movistar Arena in Santiago, Chile, teaming up with BeLive Entertainment Group to run the 15,000-capacity venue. The arena pulls over a million fans yearly for 170-plus shows, and the companies kept the sale price under wraps.

Amaal Mallik went on Bigg Boss 19 and spilled about his family hitting rock bottom financially. The singer talked about his dad Daboo Malik's career tanking, a loan worth 3.5 crore rupees crushing them, his mom getting treated like garbage, and his grandfather getting sick. Nobody from the family stepped up to help when things got bad.
He doubled down in a recent interview, saying he refuses to water down his story for anyone. His parents thought he could have phrased some stuff differently, but he said they weren't stuck in that house, living through it. He made it clear he never used his dad's connections to boost his own career.
The whole thing apparently made people nervous about how he comes across publicly, but Mallik said he...
Ranveer Singh posted some philosophical stuff about destiny and patience after Dhurandhar blew up at the box office. The spy thriller pulled over 100 crore in its second weekend alone and has raked in 351 crore total. The actor went through a rough stretch after Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani dropped in 2023, with bombs like 83, Jayeshbhai Jordaar, and Cirkus tanking hard.
Aditya Dhar directed the film, which stars Akshaye Khanna, R. Madhavan, Arjun Rampal, and Sanjay Dutt. The story follows an undercover agent infiltrating Karachi's criminal world over ten years to take down terror networks. It pulls from real events like the 1999 plane hijack, the 2001 Parliament attack, and the 2008 Mumbai attacks.
The sequel drops in 2026, and...
