During the trailer launch, the media was told that Ravi Kishan would attend. However, he was nowhere to be found. This time, the invite message didnt mention Ravi Kishans name but he made it. The actor-turned-MP is on a roll right now on social media. As expected, he rocked the show. Ravi Kishan danced with Sonal Chauhan as Rashmeet Kaur performed on the song Ghoom Ghoom. He then praised the host of the show by saying, Aap abdhut hai. You are amazing. Youre rocking the show right now. I am mesmerized with your energy and presence of mind. Aap se milke bahut accha laga! Ravi then credited the films director and writer, Thank you to Guru bhai and Puneet bhai. You guys wanted me to be a part of it. They have incorporated my character so beautifully that you wont feel ki yeh aadmi alag se aaya hai. People will love my character Babban while Babban is in love with Mumtaz (played by Sonal Chauhan). Ravi Kishan further said, All my ati-priya actors are sitting here like Kaleen Bhaiyya, as in Pankaj Tripathi, then Ali, Divyenndu babuJitendra, whos the superstar of Panchayat, is also here!

Inki shakti ke baare mein bataunga toh aap log pagla jaayenge! This woman, standing next to me, is unbelievable. Ill tell you how. When we were shooting this song, the temperature was 2 or 3 degrees. Divyenndu babu and I were wearing warm clothes due to the weather. But not this lady. Hawa bhi chal rahi thi. Whenever we would be told that hamara shot nahin hai, we would run. But not her. Then, in his style, Ravi Kishan added, Today, the advance booking has begun and people have gone bonkers. Kamaal ka response hai iska. I have just come from my constituency, Gorakhpur. So, Ive got a garma-garam report that people cant wait for September 4, the day the film releases. He continued, I have an experience of working on so many films. I can guarantee that people will come out of the theatres satisfied. They would not feel cheated. Youll see Kaleen Bhaiyya, Babloo, Guddu and Munna in a virat roop and youd see me in a pagal roop!

Kareena Kapoor reveals why films like 'Daayra'

Highlights Kareena Kapoor says films like Daayra make her think deeply about how she raises her sons, Taimur and Jeh. The actor wants boys to grow up kinder, more emotionally open and unafraid to cry. She revealed that one scene in Daayra left her disturbed while also becoming one of her favorite scenes. Kareena Kapoor has opened up about how Daayra made her reflect on raising her two sons, Taimur and Jeh, and the kind of men she hopes they will become. Speaking at the trailer launch of the upcoming investigative drama, the actor admitted that stories dealing with disturbing realities can be frightening from a mother's perspective. But for Kareena, they also reinforce the importance of teaching boys empathy, responsibility and emotional honesty. I am a mother of two sons, and I am terrified because, as a mother, you want to do your best and you want to protect them, Kareena said. All I wish for is that they should be kinder. Men should be kinder. Boys should be kinder. Kareena wants her sons to embrace their emotions Kareena also challenged the idea that boys should hide their emotions or avoid crying. There is this thought that a girl is always very sensitive, but that is not true, she said, adding that she encourages her sons to cry when they need to. See on Instagram I always tell my sons that if they want to cry, they should. They should experience that, she said. Her comments come as Daayra explores difficult questions around justice and the systems that are supposed to deliver it. The film stars Kareena alongside Prithviraj Sukumaran , with the story following an investigation that places their characters in a complicated situation. The Daayra scene that left her choked Kareena also singled out one scene from the film that affected her deeply. In this film, some scenes would automatically choke you, she said, recalling a sequence that became one of her favorites despite leaving her disturbed. The scene addresses the deeply rooted belief that galti hamesha ek ladki ki hoti hai, or that a girl is always blamed when something goes wrong. Kareena said Meghna Gulzar's writing made the scene particularly powerful, while the challenging nature of the material also made it rewarding to perform. Daayra marks Gulzar's return to Junglee Pictures following Talvar and Raazi . The investigative drama is written by Gulzar, Sima Agarwal and Yash Keswani, with Saurabh Goswami serving as cinematographer and Charu Shree Roy as editor. The film is backed by Junglee Pictures and Pen Studios.

Ajay Devgn eyes Southern expansion as Devgn CineX gears up to add 18 screens in Bengaluru and Hyderabad by year end

Devgn CineX is set to expand its presence in South India with the addition of 18 screens across Bengaluru and Hyderabad by the end of 2026. The cinema exhibition brand will open an 11-screen megaplex in Bengaluru and a seven-screen property in Hyderabad as part of its next phase of expansion. The two upcoming properties will take Devgn CineX further into two of South Indias prominent entertainment markets. The Bengaluru venue will be among the brands larger properties, while the Hyderabad launch will mark its entry into the citys cinema exhibition market. Devgn CineX currently operates 57 screens across 19 locations in India. The company also has 30 additional screens underway during the current financial year. With the upcoming additions, the brand is looking to strengthen its presence across multiple markets and expand its overall exhibition footprint. The expansion comes as cinema operators increasingly look beyond traditional theatrical viewing experiences by incorporating premium hospitality, food and beverage offerings, technology and other entertainment options. Devgn CineX has similarly positioned its properties around elements including premium dining, immersive technology and live screenings of major sporting events, including T20 cricket and the FIFA World Cup. Its venues also offer curated food options, including bento-box concepts and healthier dining choices, while some properties can be used for corporate events and private celebrations. The company has also been developing digital engagement initiatives, loyalty programmes and data-led personalisation as part of its customer experience strategy. Speaking about the upcoming expansion, Ajay Devgn, Founder, Devgn CineX, said, Bengaluru and Hyderabad have always had a strong connection with cinema and the audiences here have given my films a lot of love over the years. With Devgn CineX, the aim is simple, to give them a great cinema going experience. These two properties are an important step forward and theres a lot more to come. The company has also announced the appointment of Ajay Agrawal as its Chief Executive Officer. Agrawal brings experience across retail, infrastructure, financial services and consumer-focused businesses and will oversee the brands next phase of growth. Commenting on the expansion, Ajay Agrawal, CEO, Devgn CineX, added, Bengaluru and Hyderabad are pivotal markets for us, and these two properties reflect the scale of our ambition. As we grow, our focus remains on building a future-ready organisation where every guest interaction, from the moment of booking to the last frame on screen, is seamless, personal and memorable, With the Bengaluru and Hyderabad properties, Devgn CineX is looking to build on its existing pan-India presence while continuing to expand its portfolio across key entertainment markets.

Kareena Kapoor Khan opens up on raising Taimur and Jeh: I always tell my son, if he wants to cry, he should go ahead; reveals her favourite scene in Daayra: I didnt need any glycerine; I was NATURALLY choked

Kareena Kapoor Khan, Prithviraj Sukumaran, director Meghna Gulzar, producers Vineet Jain and Dr Jayantilal Gada and Junglee Pictures CEO Amrita Pandey attended the trailer launch of Daayra at a multiplex in Mumbai. The film deals with violence by a minor against another minor. Kareena was asked about what she feels about it, especially as a mother to sons, Taimur and Jeh. Kareena Kapoor Khan said, Its the responsibility of the boy and man as well. I am a mother of two sons and, of course, I am terrified because as a mother, you want to do your best. You want to protect them. You want to also show them that they are responsible. So, the only thing I keep praying for is that men should be more kind. The perception is that girls are always sensitive. But thats not always the case. There are men and boys who today have no fear of being sensitive and crying in front of a girl or their mother. I always tell my son, If he wants to cry, he should go ahead. He has to experience that and he has to know (what it feels like). View this post on Instagram A post shared by Bollywood Hungama (@realbollywoodhungama) Kareena added, There were some scenes in this film which would just automatically choke me. Theres a scene which I have done with my fellow co-star (pointing at someone in the audience); its also my favourite scene in the film. Meghna is not allowing me to say anything more! But it touches upon the belief that galti hamesha ladki ki hi hoti hai. You have to see that scene to understand the way Meghna has written it and the way she has communicated it. (It was so powerful that) I didnt need any glycerine. I just remembered the lines. I was naturally kind of very disturbed and choked. Daayra releases in cinemas on September 18.

Orry shares Khatron Ke Khiladi room pics after 45-day stay: I miss the purpose I had when I lived here

Orry has given fans a glimpse into his 45-day stint on Khatron Ke Khiladi by sharing pictures of the room he stayed in during the shoot. Taking to Instagram, Orry reflected on the space that became an unexpected part of his daily life, documenting the routines, long days, exhaustion and moments that unfolded behind the scenes. Describing just how much the room became a part of his life, Orry revealed that it was his bedroom, dressing room, dining room, office, gym, coffee shop and even his breakdown room. What started as a temporary space eventually became a familiar environment where he spent almost every moment of his 45-day journey. In his note, Orry wrote, To me home is not a place you get to choose, to me home is the place you lay your head down rest. He went on to reflect on the things he now misses, including the mess, the silence, the familiar corridor and the people around him. He also shared, I even miss the person I was inside, but mostly I miss the purpose I had when I lived here. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Orhan Awatramani (@orry) Interestingly, Orry revealed that while he was living there, he spent much of his time counting down the days until he could leave. However, after the 45-day experience came to an end, he found himself missing the very routine he once wanted to escape. His room may have been temporary, but the memories and version of himself he discovered during his Khatron Ke Khiladi journey appear to have stayed with him.

Avika Gor on Khatron Ke Khiladi 15 after elimination: Somewhere inside me, theres still that girl who believes, I had so much more to give

Actress Avika Gor has opened up about her experience on Khatron Ke Khiladi Season 15 days after her elimination from the stunt-based reality show. Reflecting on the experience, Avika said the show has changed the way she looks at life, fear, challenges and situations beyond her control. Taking to Instagram, the Balika Vadhu actor spoke about the difference between watching a stunt from the comfort of home and actually being in the middle of a high-pressure challenge. She admitted that she sometimes finds herself wondering whether she could have performed better had she been in the same situation. Theres something Ive realised about myself while watching Khatron Ke Khiladi after my elimination. I catch myself thinking, If I were there, I wouldnt have given up. I would have pushed harder. I would have done better. Basically, sitting comfortably on my sofa, suddenly Im an expert Khatron contestant. And then I remind myself: Im watching from the comfort of my own life. I know the outcome. I know what happens next. Im not actually in that moment, with the pressure, the fear, the adrenaline, and a stunt staring me in the face. Its very easy to become the hero of a situation from the outside, she wrote. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Avika Gor (@avikagor) Avika also acknowledged how difficult it has been to move on from her early elimination. When something matters deeply to us, we replay it, imagine different choices, and create a version of the story that never happened. And sometimes, our imagination gives us a much better performance than reality ever got the chance to. Maybe thats why being eliminated so early has been difficult for me to completely let go of. Somewhere inside me, theres still that girl who believes, I had so much more to give. This marked Avikas second appearance on Khatron Ke Khiladi. She had previously participated in the ninth season at the age of 21. Comparing both experiences, she said the show had a different lesson for her this time. I went in thinking I was there to face fears and perform stunts, but I came out understanding myself a little differently. Coming back this time meant so much because, perhaps, a part of me wanted to meet that younger version of myself again and maybe finish something that had always felt unfinished. But this time, Khatron is teaching me something very different. Avika further reflected on accepting outcomes that cannot be changed. The first time, Khatron changed my perspective on who I was and what I wanted to become. This time, it is teaching me how to live with what I cannot control. During her elimination stunt, Avika competed against Orry. She completed the challenge in more than 13 minutes, while Orry finished in just under 10 minutes, resulting in her exit from the show. Hosted by filmmaker Rohit Shetty, Khatron Ke Khiladi Season 15 features celebrities including Rubina Dilaik, Rithvik Dhanjani, Farhan Bhatt and Karan Wahi, among others.

Z and Google collaborate for an integration of Google Searchs AI mode in popular Zee TV fiction shows

Television fiction is a daily companion, bringing into homes aspirational characters whose dreams, dilemmas and journeys often feel deeply personal. It is this unique relationship between audiences and storytelling that brings ZEE and Google together to introduce fiction-led AI Search integration, bringing Google Searchs AI Mode into the storytelling worlds of Zee TV's popular fiction show Ganga Mai Ki Betiyan among others. Launching on Independence Day, the collaboration moves beyond conventional product placement, weaving Google Searchs AI Mode organically into the journeys of key characters and making it a natural part of the storytelling experience. Across relatable moments and everyday dilemmas, audiences will experience how Google Search AI Mode can process complex queries and help people easily discover the information they need to make confident decisions. The collaboration leverages ZEE's Dilfluencer Moments, a bespoke solution that weaves brand ethos into real and authentic storytelling that travels across screens and formats, leading to community engagement. Built on the belief that audiences connect most deeply with stories, characters and moments they trust, Dilfluencer Moments lets brands become a meaningful part of the narrative itself, originating within Zee TV's trusted fiction ecosystem and extending across multiple touchpoints. In this collaboration, Google Searchs AI Mode becomes a natural part of those moments, assisting characters as they navigate challenges, explore possibilities and make informed choices in ways that feel authentic to the story. As part of the collaboration, ZEE and Google have also launched a brand film featuring Amandeep Sidhu who plays the role of Sneha from Ganga Mai Ki Betiyan. Set in a candid behind-the-scenes moment, the film begins with an ordinary conversation between Amandeep and her makeup artist, Aarti played by Rajsi Bhave. When Aarti reveals that she is leaving to pursue her long-held dream of opening her own beauty salon, Amandeep is both surprised and curious. As the conversation unfolds, Aarti shares how she navigated the many questions, uncertainties and decisions involved in starting a business, with a helpful guide by her side: Google Searchs AI Mode. Through a warm, relatable and aspirational exchange, the film demonstrates how AI Mode can understand context, simplify complex situations and help individuals with the information they need. Built around the campaign thought, Google Search ka Naya AI Mode, Samjhe, Samjhaye aur Raah Dikhaye, the initiative showcases how Google Searchs AI Mode adds a more conversational layer to the trusted Search experience. While the brand film introduces audiences to the proposition, the storytelling continues across upcoming episodes of Tumm Se Tumm Takk and Ganga Mai Ki Betiyan, where viewers will see AI Mode play a meaningful role at key moments in the characters' journeys, helping them with their everyday questions and situations, explore possibilities and make informed decisions with greater clarity and confidence. Through the upcoming story arcs, audiences will witness how Google Search's new AI Mode provides intuitive, contextual assistance, becoming a reliable tool in the characters' journeys as they navigate aspirations, dilemmas and everyday decisions. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Zee TV (@zeetv) The film culminates with Amandeep breaking the fourth wall and inviting viewers to experience Google Searchs AI Mode for themselves. The film also serves as a gateway to the larger story fiction integration, where audiences will continue to see Google Search AI Mode woven not only into upcoming storylines but also the further narrative across Zee TV's fiction shows. Reflecting on the collaboration, Kanika Kalra, Director, Platforms & Ecosystems, Consumer Marketing, India, said: With the introduction of AI Mode, we are redefining what Search can do for the Indian consumer. This is a fundamental shift toward advanced thinking, reasoning, and personalisation built directly into Search. With Zee as our partner, this is our attempt to bring Google Search's AI intelligence to the world of Drama. Speaking about the partnership, Sandeep Mehrotra, Chief Operating Officer, Advertisement Revenue, ZEEL, said: Advertisers today are looking for more than visibility; they are looking for meaningful ways to connect with consumers in environments they trust. This collaboration with Google Search AI Mode demonstrates how entertainment can create that connection by integrating brands naturally into stories that audiences are already emotionally invested in. Through Dilfluencer Moments, we have been building new storytelling-led solutions for marketers, and this partnership showcases how even a technology product can be woven seamlessly into a narrative to drive both relevance and engagement at scale. Speaking about the announcement film, Kartik Mahadev, Zee Entertainment Enterprises, said: The most powerful integrations are those that become part of the story world, moving naturally with its characters. That was our ambition with Google Search in AI Mode, and this first film sets the tone for whats to come. Launching around Independence Day with our Dilfluencer, Sneha from Zee TV, the story gives the idea of independence a contemporary, everyday meaning, one that can remain relevant well beyond the occasion. At ZEE, our characters and storytelling have the ability to build empathy at scale.

Shweta Tripathi and Chaitnya Sharma head to Vienna for Chet Faker concert during European getaway

Shweta Tripathi recently took a break from her professional commitments and travelled across Europe with her husband, rapper Chaitnya Sharma, and a group of close friends. The getaway included a stop in Vienna, where the couple attended Australian singer-songwriter Chet Fakers live concert at Arena Wien as part of his A Love for Strangers tour. The Vienna concert became one of the highlights of the trip for Shweta, with the journey being planned around Chaitnyas fondness for Chet Fakers music. The actor revealed that the group had been looking for an opportunity to travel together after being unable to do so for some time due to their respective schedules. This trip was actually planned because Cheeta is a huge fan of Chet Faker. I started listening to his music because of him and our friends. The moment we found out Chet Faker was performing in Vienna, one of our friends booked six tickets, and we immediately began planning the trip. We hadn't travelled together in a long time because of our busy schedules, so it became the perfect excuse for all of us to get away, Shweta said. For Shweta, music has remained an important part of her life, and she credited Chaitnya with introducing her to several artists and sounds. She also spoke about the role music plays alongside books and other creative influences. She went on to add, Music has always been one of my greatest sources of joy. Books transport me into different worlds, and music does the same in an entirely different way. It sparks emotions that are difficult to put into words and allows you to be completely present in the moment. Cheeta has played a huge role in shaping my relationship with music. Because he's a musician himself, he's constantly introducing me to artists, albums and sounds that I may never have discovered on my own. I love how passionate he is about music, and that passion naturally rubs off on me. The couples European holiday extended beyond Vienna. They travelled to Lake Fuschl in Austria before heading to Garmisch-Partenkirchen and Berlin. The itinerary also included experiences centred around cinema and art. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Shweta Tripathi (@battatawada) Berlin, in particular, holds a special place for Shweta, who had previously visited the city for the Berlinale. During this visit, she also spent time with a close friend and attended an open-air Queer Film Festival screening featuring six short films. Berlin is one of my favourite cities. I had been there earlier for Berlinale, and every time I return, it feels just as exciting. Berlin always makes me want to create. Every street, every gallery and every conversation feels like it invites curiosity. One of my closest friends also lives there, so it was wonderful to spend time together. We also watched six short films at an open-air Queer Film Festival screening, and experiences like these stay with you long after the trip is over, she shared. The Masaan actor also reflected on how travelling and experiencing different cultures influence her as an artist. According to Shweta, such journeys offer opportunities to learn and return with fresh creative inspiration. Travelling reminds you how much there is still to see, learn and feel. As an artist, that's incredibly enriching. My father always told me to spend money on experiences because they shape the person you become, and every time I travel I understand that a little more. Concerts end, holidays end, but the memories, friendships and inspiration stay with you. I always return from trips like these wanting to create something new. That's the biggest gift travel gives me, she concluded. The European getaway thus brought together Shweta Tripathi and Chaitnya Sharmas shared interest in music, travel and the arts, while also giving the couple an opportunity to spend time with their friends away from their professional schedules.

DABIDA GeniTeacher Reads Handwritten Work to Spot Stuck Points

The fastest way to use AI for homework is also the least useful : paste in the question, get the answer and hope some of it sticks. DABIDA is building an AI tutor around a different premise. Its GeniTeacher platform wants students to keep working on paper while the software watches the path they took to get there. The philosophy is that a final answer is a thin signal . A math problem can be wrong because a student misunderstood a concept, made an arithmetic slip, chose an inefficient method or gave up halfway through. Those are very different problems, and a generic chatbot often sees none of them. I met DABIDA CEO Eun-Seung Lee in person as he demonstrated GeniTeacher. The core pitch: AI should help students reason through a problem instead of becoming a faster answer machine (I totally agree). The practical twist is that DABIDA tries to capture not only the written answer, but also the sequence of marks, corrections and intermediate work that led to it. Students can write with DABIDAs GeniPen (a CES 2024 Innovation Awards Honoree) on compatible paper, use a stylus on a tablet or upload a photo. The company says GeniTeacher combines its handwriting-recognition technology with image analysis, allowing it to account for diagrams and text. Lee told me the platform also uses a mix of outside AI models, chosen according to task and cost, rather than betting the company on one large language model, which makes total sense. The goal is to issue a sequence of Socratic hints: a light prompt first, then a more specific one if the student remains stuck. DABIDA also says it can generate reports covering accuracy, weak concepts, recurring errors and hint use, along with automated error notes that preserve the original problem, the students working and an explanation of the likely mistake. This is a more useful process than simply grading an answer. A 2024 EEG study of 36 university students found broader brain connectivity during handwriting than typing. The researchers argued that the pattern may be beneficial for learning, but the study did not directly measure whether handwriting improved classroom performance. The logic seem sound, but this is under intense research. DABIDA did not begin with GeniTeacher. Its earlier GeniClass and GeniPen products focused on remote learning, letting a teacher see a students handwriting during a live class. That pair became a CES 2024 Innovation Awards Honoree in the Smart Communities category. Lee said GeniTeacher grew from that existing handwriting-capture technology after the company began adding AI capabilities in 2024. More recently, WIPO named DABIDA one of 11 2026 Global Awards winners and described it as a handwriting-based AI tutoring system. WIPO says DABIDA has 23 patents, exclusive distribution agreements in seven countries and a Samsung Electronics partnership signed in 2026. Lee described several possible revenue streams: subscriptions, smart-pen sales, publisher relationships and licensing. He cited a potential $20 monthly base subscription in our conversation, though pricing and availability can vary by market. Theres also a potential future marketplace where teachers could sell their own high-quality questions, with DABIDA taking a commission. DABIDAs thesis will be proven when schools and families can see that students learn more, teachers save time without surrendering judgment, and the company refines the curriculum by analyzing common learning stumbling points. Many people currently say that AI makes children less smart. DABIDA is on a quest to leverage AI to take teaching to the next level.

Is Orry exiting Khatron Ke Khiladi 15 after injury? Emotional post sparks speculation: Sometimes you have to accept defeat

The journey of Orry aka Orhan Awatramani on Khatron Ke Khiladi 15 may have hit an unexpected roadblock. The internet media personality, who has been participating in the stunt-based reality show and taking on a series of challenges, has seemingly hinted at an emotional exit following an injury sustained during a task. Orry recently shared a video on his Instagram Stories in which he appeared to be helped by others after getting injured during a challenge. Alongside the video, he posted an emotional message reflecting on his stint on the show and his attempt to complete the task. Sharing the update, Orry wrote, I gave it my all guys and I am sorry I dont have more in me to give. Really wanted to do this for us all and for me. I never wanted to give up and I never aborted. I really did try but sometimes you have to accept defeat. His message suggested that he had pushed himself during the challenge but was unable to continue. Orry also appeared to indicate that his health would take precedence over his participation in the show. He added, Health always comes before everything. Wishing everyone the best. The post has since led to speculation about whether the injury could mark the end of Orrys stint on Khatron Ke Khiladi 15. While his choice of words, particularly his reference to accepting defeat and not having more to give, has left fans wondering if he has been forced to step away, Orry has not explicitly confirmed his exit from the show. Orrys participation in Khatron Ke Khiladi has also been closely followed by viewers, with the internet personality taking on physical challenges as part of his stint on the reality show. His latest update has therefore added an emotional turn to his journey. The stunt-based format requires contestants to take on physically demanding tasks involving heights, speed, animals and other challenges under the supervision of host Rohit Shetty. Injuries are an inherent risk of such tasks, and contestants can sometimes be required to withdraw depending on their condition. For now, Orrys Instagram post remains the only indication that his journey may have been affected by the injury. Whether the message signals a temporary setback or his departure from Khatron Ke Khiladi 15 is yet to be officially clarified. Until there is a confirmation from Orry or the makers of the show, his status in the competition remains unclear.

Guru Randhawa donates Rs.5 lakhs to Nepal flood relief on birthday, becomes first Punjabi artist to support rescue efforts

Guru Randhawa marked his birthday with a humanitarian gesture, announcing a personal contribution of Rs.5 lakhs towards the ongoing Nepal flood relief efforts. The singer and actor has chosen to use the occasion to draw attention to the situation faced by flood-affected families, with his contribution being directed towards rescue operations, medical supplies and emergency food distribution. According to the information shared, Randhawa is supporting the relief work through the Hemkunt Foundation, which will use the contribution towards on-ground assistance for those affected by the floods. The initiative comes as the singer marks another year, with the birthday gesture placing the focus on humanitarian aid rather than celebrations. The Nepal contribution follows Randhawas recent support for flood-affected communities in Assam. Earlier this month, he committed Rs.12 lakhs towards rehabilitation efforts in the state. His contribution involved a partnership with the Hello Life Foundation to provide essential supplies, while he also collaborated with the Sikh Aid Foundation on the construction of 35 permanent flood-resistant houses and 100 bicycles for displaced families. Randhawas latest initiative adds to his recent involvement in relief efforts across different regions. By extending his support to Nepal, he has also become the first Punjabi artist, according to the information shared, to contribute financially towards the ongoing Nepal flood relief operations. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Harteerath Singh Ahluwalia (@harteerathsingh) Meanwhile, Guru Randhawa continues to remain active in the Indian music industry. Born in Gurdaspur, Punjab, the singer has built a career around Punjabi and Hindi pop music, with songs including Lagdi, Suit Suit, Qatal, Azul, Sirra, Naach Meri Rani, Patola and High Rated Gabru. Over his 13-year career, Randhawa has also collaborated with international artistes including Pitbull, Rick Ross, French Montana and The Chainsmokers, expanding his presence beyond the Indian music market. He has performed across more than 15 countries and has recorded over 40 global chart appearances, according to the information provided. Randhawa has also been credited as the first Indian artist to cross 14 billion views on YouTube, while continuing to feature among the most-streamed Punjabi artists globally. With his latest birthday initiative, Guru Randhawa has once again used his public platform to support disaster relief, following his recent contribution towards flood rehabilitation in Assam.

Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani: Deepika Padukone as Naina Talwar gets a special mention from The Academy years after the films release

More than a decade after the release of Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, the character of Naina Talwar as Deepika Padukone has once again found herself in the spotlight. The Academys official social media handle recently shared a video featuring one of Nainas memorable dialogues from the 2013 film, bringing the character back into conversations around the popular Hindi romantic drama. Directed by Ayan Mukerji, Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani featured Deepika Padukone as Naina Talwar, a shy and introverted medical student whose journey through friendship, love and self-discovery formed an important part of the narrative. The film also starred Ranbir Kapoor, Kalki Koechlin and Aditya Roy Kapur in key roles. The Academys social media post focused on one of Nainas dialogues, offering a fresh reminder of the character more than 13 years after the films theatrical release. Nainas transformation from a reserved student to a more confident woman remains one of the defining elements of the film. The characters story explored themes of friendship, unrequited love and personal growth. Naina first meets Kabir Bunny Thapar, played by Ranbir Kapoor, during a trekking trip with their former classmates. She develops feelings for him but chooses not to express them. The two eventually lose touch before reconnecting at the wedding of their mutual friend Aditi Mehra. View this post on Instagram A post shared by The Academy (@theacademy) Deepikas portrayal of Naina became closely associated with the characters understated personality and gradual evolution. Her appearance, including Nainas signature glasses and reserved demeanour in the early portions of the film, also became recognisable elements of the role. The Academys latest social media post has once again brought attention to the character and the film, which continues to have a presence in popular culture years after its release. Nainas journey, particularly her movement from insecurity towards self-assurance, remains a key reason the character continues to resonate with viewers. Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, also known as YJHD, was released in 2013 and marked the second collaboration between Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone after Bachna Ae Haseeno. The film was written by Ayan Mukerji and Hussain Dalal and produced by Karan Johar under Dharma Productions. The ensemble cast also included Kunaal Roy Kapur, Evelyn Sharma, Farooq Sheikh, Tanvi Azmi and Dolly Ahluwalia, among others. The film combined its coming-of-age narrative with themes of relationships, ambition and choosing ones own path. With The Academy revisiting one of Naina Talwars dialogues, the character has once again become part of the ongoing conversation around Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani and its lasting recall among audiences.
