Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol hit up Leicester Square in London to check out the new bronze statue of their Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge characters Raj and Simran, which got put up for the movie's 30th anniversary. King Khan spilled some memories about bowling after wrapping shoots back in the day, saying the whole experience of filming overseas felt different when DDLJ was getting made.
The actor mentioned they stayed outside central London and would hit bowling alleys at night since that whole scene was fresh for them at the time. He admitted nobody on set really saw the movie turning into this massive cultural thing, even though director Aditya Chopra probably figured it would land well with audiences.
George Clooney dropped some wild stories about his pre-fame grind on Live With Kelly and Mark, saying he hawked support shoes to geriatric customers back when he was 18 at a Cincinnati department store. The 64-year-old Hollywood heavyweight had to deal with elderly women's foot problems and this weird corn-stretching contraption that involved blue spray powder and a shoe with holes in it.
The Oscar winner also confessed he wanted to go pro in baseball before acting panned out, but a scouting report from the Cincinnati Reds basically torched that dream by calling out his garbage-throwing arm. He admitted the assessment was right after reading it decades later, since it showed he had okay speed and hitting, but the worst arm they'd seen.
Deepti Sharma showed up on Kaun Banega Crorepati and told Amitabh Bachchan how her brother basically kick-started her whole cricket thing. She used to tag along just to watch him play, and one day a ball rolled toward her while she was chilling on some stairs. She chucked it back from like 40 or 50 meters out and nailed the stumps directly, which made everyone go wild and say she needed to be playing instead of spectating.
Her brother was sitting in the audience during the taping, and he got all sappy about being known as her sibling instead of the other way around. The episode also had Shafali Varma and some other players from the women's team hanging out with Big B, and he tried getting their coach, Amol Mazumdar, to let them eat...
Prabhas finally made it to Japan for the Baahubali screening, and director S.S. Rajamouli got all emotional about it on social media. The filmmaker wrote a whole letter about how Japanese fans had been asking when the actor would show up for years, and he wanted Prabhas to feel that love firsthand.
Rajamouli calls Japan his second home and was hyped that his lead star finally touched down there. Prabhas fired back with some mushy stuff about missing the director and promising they'd visit together next time. The actor thanked everyone at the screening and said he'd been hearing about Japanese fans for a decade, adding that he hopes to visit yearly as the producer's wife does.
He's got a stacked slate coming up with The Rajasaab...
Singer Shibani Kashyap is heading to the Red Sea International Film Festival in Jeddah for India Night, where she'll perform two tracks from the classic Bollywood film Umrao Jaan alongside a screening that'll have Rekha and director Muzaffar Ali in attendance. She's planning to sing Dil Cheez Kya Hai and In Aankhon Ki Masti Ke as her tribute to the restored movie.
Kashyap admitted she's definitely nervous about performing in front of such legendary figures, but she's calling it more of a blessing than anything else. Her set will blend contemporary and classic vibes with help from Qawwali singer Aman Khan Sabri, and they'll throw in some fusion elements through songs like Damadum Mast Qalandar.

The actress reflected on rekindled friendships by the fireplace and how the altitude transformed into inner calm during her getaway.

Television star Deepika Singh posted about how some random Odissi dance choreography she spotted online years back suddenly saved her during a rushed Mangal Lakshmi shoot when she needed moves for the Taal title track. She mentioned having just 15 minutes to nail the scene with co-star Arshiya Sharma, and the old choreography from dancer friend Purnata Mohanty randomly clicked in her brain at the perfect moment.
Singh got her big break playing an IPS officer opposite Anas Rashid in Diya Aur Baati Hum before bouncing around shows like Kavach Mahashivrati and the web series Halala. Her current gig follows sisters Mangal and Lakshmi, dealing with matchmaking drama and family trials that test their bond.
Sreeleela dropped a nostalgia dump on Instagram, marking the anniversary of her Kissik performance from Pushpa 2, posting behind-the-scenes content with Allu Arjun and director Sukumar.

The actress wrapped dubbing work for her upcoming period flick Parasakthi with Sivakarthikeyan, which finished shooting after wrapping its final schedule. She got her start as a kid before leading Kiss back in 2019, then bounced through projects like Pelli SandaD and Guntur Kaaram.
Daboo Mallik gave major props to Baseer Ali for backing his son Amaal inside the Bigg Boss 19 house, calling the evicted contestant a genuine friend who stood by the composer when it mattered. The proud dad posted photos from hanging out with Baseer and asked fans to keep voting for Amaal as the finale approaches, with five people still competing for the trophy.
Baseer threw support behind Amaal for the win right before the show wraps up, while housemates Farrhana Bhatt and Tanya Mittal got into it over manipulation accusations. Farrhana called out Tanya for flip-flopping after previously hyping her up as the strongest player, and things escalated until Farrhana basically told her to get lost.
The remaining contestants battling for...
