Karnataka's top two politicians are doing another breakfast hangout after the Congress brass told them to chill out and work together. The deputy chief minister invited his boss over for some country chicken since that's apparently what the guy likes to eat, and they're planning to talk about keeping their campaign promises while they chow down.
The whole breakfast diplomacy thing started because reporters kept asking if the two were beefing over who should run the state. The deputy CM admitted they only did the first meal because the media kept pushing the narrative about internal camps and drama within the party. Both politicians have been saying they're tight like brothers and will follow whatever the national leadership tells them...
India's junior women absolutely demolished Namibia 13-0 in their opening match at the FIH Junior Women's World Cup in Santiago. Six different players found the back of the net, with Hina Bano and Kanika Siwach each putting up hat tricks while Sakshi Rana grabbed two goals. The team jumped out to a 4-0 lead in the first quarter and never looked back, piling on the pressure through all four periods.
The Indians controlled possession from the opening whistle and kept Namibia pinned in their own end for most of the game. They converted multiple penalty corners and capitalized on loose balls around the goal. Their next matchup is against Germany.
Udit Narayan hit the big 7-0 and threw a party with a bunch of other Bollywood singers like Shaan and Sonu Nigam. Shaan posted clips from the celebration and joked that the birthday guy only looks 45. The veteran vocalist has racked up four National Film Awards over his career, and the government gave him a Padma Shri back in 2009, plus a Padma Bhushan later for his work in music.
He started out singing with Mohammed Rafi and Kishore Kumar in the 80s, then blew up after working on Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak. His catalog is stacked with massive hits like Pehla Nasha, Papa Kehte Hai, and Dil To Pagal Hai. Meanwhile, Shaan just celebrated 25 years of marriage with his wife, Radhika, and they had their own party where their kid performed for them.
Vicky Kaushal posted about Sam Bahadur hitting its two-year mark, sharing clips from the film where he played India's first field marshal. He got the character details down by meeting with Manekshaw's grandson during prep, and people were super impressed by how much he looked like the actual guy.
The actor and his wife, Katrina Kaif, just had their first kid, a baby boy, and announced it through a joint social media post. He blew up after Masaan first came out, then became a huge name following Uri: The Surgical Strike, which landed him a National Award. His latest historical project, Chhaava, dropped recently and got him more praise for his performance as Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj.
Gulshan Devaiah went off about the whole nepotism thing during a chat, and he had zero patience for actors complaining about losing roles to industry kids. The guy basically said everyone needs to quit whining about their lack of privilege while ignoring how much better off they are than millions of other people. He called the whole debate complete garbage and told people to either accept that showbiz is competitive and unfair or just leave.
He pushed back hard on the entitlement angle, asking who these complainers think they are to demand better treatment. His advice was simple: keep your head down, grind it out, and hope things work in your favor. Right now, he's getting solid reactions for his streaming show, Perfect Family with...
Dia Mirza dropped some nature pics on her feed after wrapping a long stretch of filming. The actress got philosophical about November teaching her lessons while December rolled in, bringing hope and peace. Her shots captured mountain views and random flowers from whatever trail she hit up with her crew.
She posted similar outdoor content recently after finally getting downtime from shoot days. One shot showed her photographing peaks, while another had her chilling in a dense forest with her team. Mirza just finished shooting a romantic project opposite Rahul Bhat, and the production company celebrated the wrap on social media, thanking everyone involved.
Rajkummar Rao got real at the CII Big Picture Summit about how the film industry became obsessed with algorithms and data analysis instead of just making good stories. The actor said he misses watching talented performers on screen and wishes more filmmakers would create content straight from the heart as Rishabh Shetty did with Kantara. He pointed out that legendary directors like Coppola and Hrishikesh Mukherjee never worried about target audiences or market research when crafting their films.
The Srikanth star admitted he's still figuring out the streaming world since sometimes mediocre performers blow up on platforms while genuinely skilled actors get ignored. Rajkummar said creative people don't really understand all the backend...
Calvin Harris is finally hitting India next year after basically owning every major festival stage worldwide. The Grammy-winning DJ expanded his tour from two cities to three, with Delhi-NCR getting added alongside Mumbai and Bengaluru. Sunburn and BookMyShow Live are handling the production for what people are calling a massive cultural milestone for Indian electronic music fans.
The Scottish producer will kick things off in Bengaluru at NICE Grounds, then move to Mumbai's Infinity Bay in Sewri, before wrapping up in Delhi-NCR at Leisure Valley Ground. Tickets drop for presale in early December, and the general sale follows two days later. Harris has racked up over 35 billion streams with bangers like We Found Love and One Kiss while...
Sudha Chandran posted about still struggling to accept that Dharmendra died over a week back. The actress shared an old music video from their film, Tehelka, and said she felt blessed to work alongside the legendary actor during his prime. She keeps trying to wrap her head around him being gone, but it just hits different when someone that iconic passes.
The veteran star died after getting hospitalized for breathing issues in mid-November and later returning home to continue treatment. Tons of Bollywood people showed up at the Deol family place to pay respects, with Jeetendra making the trip despite being in his late 80s himself. The two had been tight for nearly 50 years.
