Anil's collage showed him prepping for scenes and chatting with Vanga, plus some clips of his character, Balbir Singh. The action flick starring Ranbir Kapoor, Rashmika Mandanna, Triptii Dimri, and Bobby Deol became a massive box office hit despite catching heat for its violent and problematic content.

Jeetendra moved to tears, Dharmendra’s legacy fills Indian Idol

He also talked about his wildly different experiences working with Saif Ali Khan on Jewel Thief versus Kareena Kapoor Khan on Jaane Jaan. Jaideep admitted he kept his distance from Kareena on purpose because his Jaane Jaan character demanded that weird restraint vibe, but working with Saif was pure chaos and memorable fun. His villain role and dance moves in Jewel Thief blew people away, even though the film got mixed reactions. Jaideep is getting praise for...

Shilpa flaunts fierce glutes and faith, fitness meets devotion
Shilpa Shetty dropped another workout video showing off her glute bridge routine with resistance bands, and she broke down why the exercise actually works. The elevation apparently puts more stress on your posterior chain while keeping your lower back safe, plus the band adds extra tension for better activation. She told people to bang out three sets of 20 reps with some abduction pulses thrown in at the end. The actress also posted about bringing home Sai Baba's Kafni and Paduka, which are basically his sacred robe and sandals that devotees consider super blessed.
