Taapsee Pannu reveals worst reason for being replaced from a film: The heros wife doesnt like you
Taapsee Pannu has spoken about instances when she was removed from films and said she was not always given a clear explanation for the decision. In a recent conversation with host Nayandeep Rakshit, the actress recalled being replaced from a project after the lead actor objected to her casting. She said she was left wondering about the possible reason behind the decision. I have been told that I was replaced by the hero of the film. God knows the reason. I keep imagining the reasons. I can imagine the insecurity; I can imagine that he wanted someone else whom he was closer to. I can imagine various reasons, but I wasnt given any solid reason. I was just told that he didnt want me in the film because I kept asking the reason for my removal, Taapsee said. The actress also recalled another incident that she described as the worst reason she had been given for being replaced from a film. According to Taapsee, she was told that the lead actors wife did not like her. She said, The worst reason given to me when I was replaced was, The heros wife doesnt like you. I dont know why she didnt like me. Taapsee did not reveal the identities of the actor or his wife. The actress has also previously spoken about the kind of projects she chooses to take on and her decision to turn down certain roles to avoid being typecast. In a conversation with PTI, Taapsee said that the industry often relies on a fixed set of actors for particular types of roles. Everybody is going into their comfort zone and using tried-and-tested methods. For instance, for glamorous roles, they (industry) have a set of five actresses they can cast, and for hard-hitting, issue-based films, they have another set of five actresses to cast, she said. Explaining her approach to such projects, Taapsee added, Ive actually started turning down films for this reason, telling makers that the audience will easily guess the ending. So, (I tell them) Dont cast me in this; its bad for your film. Ive gone and de-sold myself to a few films. On the work front, Taapsee was last seen in the action-thriller Gandhari, which premiered on Netflix on September 3. Directed by Devashish Makhija and backed by Kanika Dhillon, the film featured Taapsee in the lead role.

Tia Bajpai and Arian Romals FANAA has drawn attention for combining music with elements of horror. Presented as a horror music video, the project was designed to create an unsettling viewing experience. However, its intense content has also led to an 18+ age restriction on YouTube. The makers opened up about the response to the video and the challenges caused by the age restriction. They shared, We have had lots of issues with YouTube and everywhere else with the 18+ tag being put on it. We were also told that its too scary to watch for viewers. We wanted to make the scariest music video, and we did. Now we are seeing the downside of it. Since the video is not being shown to users, the only way people can watch it is if they are logged in, over 18 and specifically searching for the song. Its kind of cool, but also bad in the same way. While the YouTube restriction has affected the video's visibility, FANAA has continued to reach viewers on Instagram. The full video has reportedly crossed almost 10 million views on the platform, giving the project a different response across social media platforms. The 18+ classification has also become part of the conversation around the music video. According to the makers, such restrictions are uncommon for music videos. FANAA was created with a focus on horror and suspense, and its classification has further highlighted the intensity of its visual content. Tia Bajpai, who has previously explored the horror genre, takes on a central role in the video. Her performance forms the core of the narrative, which unfolds with the structure and atmosphere of a horror short film rather than a conventional music video. Speaking about the shoot, Tia Bajpai said, Shooting FANAA was a completely different experience for me because we were trying to create something that feels like more than just a music video. The atmosphere, the visuals and the emotions of the character required me to completely immerse myself in that world. There were moments on set that were genuinely intense, but that is also what made the experience exciting and memorable. I think audiences will connect with FANAA because beneath the horror and suspense, there is a strong emotional layer to the story. It keeps you curious, makes you feel something and hopefully stays with you even after the video ends. Arian Romals music complements the visual narrative, bringing together haunting melodies, suspense and darker imagery. The makers have also included warnings asking viewers not to watch the video alone and to keep the lights on. With the full video nearing 10 million views on Instagram, FANAA continues to attract attention despite the restrictions on YouTube. The project combines music, horror and narrative storytelling to present the song in a format that differs from a conventional music video.

Actress Chahatt Khanna, who was recently seen in Hungama OTTs Hasratein 4, has revealed that she was approached for the reality show Alliance, but she turned down the offer because of the shows long filming schedule and no-phone requirement. In an exclusive conversation with Bollywood Hungama, the actress also opened up about possibly participating in The Traitors and taking her business to Shark Tank India. Chahatt Khanna reveals why she turned down Alliance Chahatt revealed that she was approached for Alliance, but the commitment required for the show did not work for her. According to the actress, she was expected to spend several weeks away from her phone, which would have been difficult because she also runs a company. Yes, I was approached for Alliance. And they had come in touch with me. I think they wanted 40, 45, 62 days, without phone and all. I was like, I won't be able to do it. Because, I am running a company also, she said. Chahatt added that she could consider participating in a shorter-format reality show. So, I will be able to do it for a few days, maybe for a show like The Traitors. But if you ask me to leave my phone for 60 days, what will happen to my company? So, I couldn't do it. The lines didn't work out. Chahatt Khanna says she could consider The Traitors While Chahatt has not watched the recent season of The Traitors India in full, she said she has seen some episodes and heard stories about the show from contestant Sahil. I haven't seen it. I haven't seen the first. I haven't seen this. I have seen some episodes. I have seen Sahil (Salathia). He is very funny, she said. The actress explained that her busy schedule leaves her with little time for television and reality shows. I don't get time to watch TV. Hardly, I get time. Chahatt said she is selective about how she spends her free time. If I will watch it anytime, I like to watch cinema. If I want to spend my time. If I want to spend my precious time, I like to watch what I like. Not just because it is new. I don't follow trends. She added, I want to invest my time where it is meaningful for me. So, I am very, very confused when it comes to investing time. You ask me money, I will give. You ask me time, I can't. Chahatt Khanna open to taking her business to Shark Tank India Chahatt also revealed that she has considered taking her business to Shark Tank India. While she has not committed to a timeline, the actress said it could happen this year or next year. Sometimes, I watch some episodes of Shark Tank, she said when asked if she would consider taking her business to the show. Asked about her plans, Chahatt said, Yes, we can. Maybe this year or next year we can plan to do that. The actress, however, reiterated that her limited free time makes it difficult to keep up with reality television. She said that when she gets time, she would rather rest, scroll through her phone or watch something she finds meaningful. Chahatt Khanna recalls the Bade Achhe Lagte Hain backlash Chahatt also revisited one of her most recognised television roles, Ayesha from Bade Achhe Lagte Hain. The character initially won over viewers before being portrayed negatively, after which the actress began facing strong reactions from audiences in public spaces. Before she turned a bitch, everyone liked her. Then when she turned into a bitch, people used to stop her in the mall and ask her why she is after her sister's life and all, Chahatt recalled. She further revealed that some viewers would physically stop her to question the characters actions. Aunties used to hold me tight and scold me, What do you want? Why are you after your sister's life? It was difficult for me to come out. Chahatt also spoke about what she learned while working on the show, crediting her co-stars Ram Kapoor and Sakshi Tanwar. The spontaneity I learnt from Ram as an actor, you know, he is a very spontaneous actor. I learnt method acting from Sakshi. So, I think I learnt a very good mix from both sides. Meanwhile, Chahatt is currently seen in Hasratein 4. The actress said she initially turned down the project but changed her mind after reading the character. There was no casting process as such because it's been a while I'm in the industry so I got a call and then I initially refused for this because I was not really sure about the project but then when I read the character, it was very relevant, she said. Chahatt added that she ultimately agreed to the show because of the character. For this, I said yes because of the character.

Tamannaah Bhatia joins Joy Personal Care as face of its lotion and cream range
Tamannaah Bhatia has added another brand association to her growing portfolio. The actress has been named the face of Joy Personal Cares lotion and cream portfolio, with the partnership led by the brands Honey & Almonds Deep Nourishing Body Lotion. The association will see Tamannaah feature in a multi-platform campaign spanning television, digital and social media. The campaign is built around Joy Personal Cares Beautiful by Nature philosophy, which looks to move away from conventional ideas and definitions of beauty. Speaking about the association, Sunil Agarwal, co-founder and chairman, Joy Personal Care (RSH Global), said that the brand has grown from a homegrown skincare name into a larger personal care player while retaining its focus on what consumers value. He described the partnership with Tamannaah as an important step as the company looks to strengthen its presence in the lotion and cream category and connect with a new generation of consumers. Agarwal also highlighted the role of the Honey & Almonds Body Lotion within the brands lotion portfolio. According to him, the association with Tamannaah gives the brand an opportunity to build on the products existing equity while bringing a fresh perspective to the category. He added that the companys focus remains on products that combine quality, relevance and affordability for Indian consumers. Poulomi Roy, chief marketing officer, Joy Personal Care (RSH Global), spoke about the thinking behind the campaign and said that beauty has often been presented to women through a narrow lens, defining how they should look and what they should aspire to be. She explained that Beautiful by Nature seeks to challenge that idea and encourage women to embrace their individuality rather than conform to a particular mould. Roy further said that Tamannaah brings the philosophy to life through her individuality, personal journey and ability to remain true to herself while continuing to evolve. For Tamannaah, the association comes from a more personal understanding of beauty. The actress said that she has always appreciated how beauty can have a different meaning for different people. She added that, over the years, she has learnt to embrace that perspective and enjoy the journey instead of chasing an idea of perfection. According to Tamannaah, this approach was among the reasons she connected with Joy Personal Care and was keen to bring the thought behind the campaign to life. On the work front, Tamannaah Bhatia is currently excited about the response for her recent release The Vvaan co-starring Sidharth Malhotra and an ensemble cast. It hit cinemas on September 25.

Vikram Singh Chauhan is set to take on a leading role on the silver screen with Pooja Meri Jaan, a crime thriller that explores rejection, obsession and the impact of toxic relationships. The actor will be seen alongside Mrunal Thakur, Huma Qureshi and Vijay Raaz in the upcoming film. For Vikram, the project presented an opportunity to explore a character that goes through several emotional and situational shifts as the story progresses. Talking about what drew him to Pooja Meri Jaan and his role in the film, Vikram Singh Chauhan said, Pooja Meri Jaan was an interesting film for me because of the kind of character I got to play. There are a lot of emotions involved, and the character goes through different situations that slowly change the way you look at him. I enjoyed working on those parts because they gave me a chance to do something different from what I have done before. The film delves into the ways people respond to rejection and how a single situation can affect relationships and perceptions. Vikram's character is placed in circumstances that allow the story to explore different shades of these emotions, making his journey an important part of the narrative. Elaborating on his experience of working on the film, Vikram said, What I found interesting about the film was the way it deals with rejection and the impact it can have on people. The story does not look at these emotions in just one way, and that made it more engaging for me. While working on the film, I tried to understand where my character was coming from and what was driving his actions. It was a challenging role in some ways, but I really enjoyed the process. Pooja Meri Jaan follows Pooja, a young woman who becomes the target of an obsessive admirer. The film explores stalking, obsession and rejection, while also examining the consequences that can emerge from toxic relationships. The story incorporates elements of courtroom drama as the situation unfolds. Directed by Navjot Gulati and co-directed by Vipasha Arvind, Pooja Meri Jaan stars Mrunal Thakur, Huma Qureshi, Vikram Singh Chauhan and Vijay Raaz. The film is produced by Dinesh Vijan and Amar Kaushik under the banner of Maddock Films. With the project, Vikram Singh Chauhan steps into a leading role on the silver screen, taking on a character that allows him to explore a range of emotions and situations within the film's crime-thriller narrative.

The Lust Stories franchise has evolved over the years from a collection of provocative stories about female desire into an anthology that explores intimacy, relationships and the complexities surrounding desire from different perspectives. With the third instalment now streaming, producer Ashi Dua has revealed that the latest edition contains subtle connections between its four stories that viewers may miss if they are not paying close attention. Speaking to Bollywood Hungama, Ashi explained that the filmmakers have introduced small elements through which characters from one story appear in another. According to the producer, these crossovers have been designed to blend naturally into the individual narratives rather than being presented as obvious connections. I don't want to really say much. I really hope everybody watches it, but we've tried to have these small little elements which you will notice in the four stories of our characters travelling a little bit in each other's stories very absolutely smoothly. You may miss it if you miss it by a minute or you may not, she said. Ashi added that the team would like to develop this idea further if they get the opportunity to make a fourth instalment. However, she acknowledged that creating a more interconnected anthology would require considerable coordination between the filmmakers. So, we've tried to do that, and hopefully if we get an opportunity to make the fourth one, we'll have it more intertwined with each other. It takes a lot because then all four directors have to write and shoot at the same time. Yeah. But we'll try. We'll try. We have to take it to the next level, she added. Ashi Dua on how Lust Stories changed perceptions around female desire During the conversation, Ashi also reflected on how the perception of the Lust Stories franchise has changed since the first instalment arrived in 2018. She recalled that casting the original film was not as straightforward as it may appear today, despite having filmmakers such as Zoya Akhtar, Karan Johar, Anurag Kashyap and Dibakar Banerjee attached to the project. According to Ashi, actors gradually became more comfortable with the franchise after understanding that its intention was not simply to provoke audiences or objectify women. Instead, the stories aimed to explore female desire and give the characters perspectives and motivations beyond their sexuality. I think when people and actors realize that we are what we are, we are not just doing this to titillate anybody. Everybody's presented really well. Every character has something that they're trying to say. It's not just putting women out there or objectifying them. That's really not what the filmmakers, us, or what the film is about. It's about speaking about the female desire which we've not been able to speak about for so many years, Ashi said. She recalled that casting the first Lust Stories was particularly challenging, even with its high-profile directors. In the first one it was very hard to cast, whether you believe it or not. I can imagine even though we had Zoya and Karan and Anurag and Dibakar, but it was hard to cast even that, she said. Ashi believes the response to the first instalment helped change the way actors viewed the project. She explained that performers became more comfortable with the material after seeing how the stories and characters were presented on screen. So I think after they saw that and they realized that this is doing things very differently is when now actors are more comfortable of course and also the comfort is between the director and the actor also. If the actor wants to work with that particular director and then the story where they feel like okay, we are comfortable doing this and we know we'll be shown in the right way is when they do it, she added. Lust Stories 3 continues the anthology format The third instalment follows the anthology format established by the first two editions, bringing together four filmmakers and separate stories that explore different dimensions of desire and relationships. The first Lust Stories, released in 2018, was directed by Anurag Kashyap, Dibakar Banerjee, Zoya Akhtar and Karan Johar. The film explored themes including female sexual pleasure, marital dissatisfaction and social expectations, and was nominated for an International Emmy Award. Lust Stories 2, released in 2023, was directed by Sujoy Ghosh, R. Balki, Konkona Sen Sharma and Amit Ravindernath Sharma. Its stories explored desire through themes such as age, social expectations, domestic relationships and long-term commitments. The third instalment features stories directed by Vikramaditya Motwane, Kiran Rao, Shakun Batra and Vishal Bhardwaj. The stories explore different forms of desire, including partner swapping, physical dependency within a failing relationship, transactional intimacy and repressed desire expressed through literature and fantasy.

Preity Zinta has spoken about the challenges of making films in the current environment, saying that changing audience habits and the speed at which people react to content have made filmmaking tougher. The actress shared her thoughts while discussing her latest project Vibe in an exclusive interview with Bollywood Hungama. Talking about the changing theatrical landscape, Preity said, People are not going that much to theatres. So, its tougher to make films. The stakes are higher. And when you are making a film like this, which is very different, its not a formula. But not just this film; in general, I have seen that everybody is trying to make a film on a smaller budget and longer hours because now its not just a theatre, people are watching films online. People are on Instagram. They are doing everything. Preity also pointed to the way audiences respond to films even before they are released. According to her, social media has changed the process of forming opinions about a film, with reactions sometimes coming from the first visuals or scenes. She said, Everyone is so quick to judge. Earlier, people would go to a theatre, tell their cousins and friends to either watch or dont watch a film. But today, the first shot of your film comes out and people are already writing good, bad, ugly, giving spoilers before the film is out. That way, films have become very tough and difficult. No film is made in two days. You spend months making it. You work really hard. Her comments come at a time when filmmakers are working across theatrical and digital platforms, while social media has become an important part of how films are discussed and promoted. Vibe, written and directed by Kunal Kemmu, features Preity alongside Kemmu and Sparsh Shrivastava. For Preity, the changing viewing habits and immediate reactions on social media are among the factors that have added to the challenges involved in making and releasing films today.

Dont Be Shy marks a full-circle moment: 14 years after her debut, Alia Bhatt backs five newcomers
Fourteen years after making her debut as an actor, Alia Bhatt is now marking a full-circle moment in her career by backing a new generation of talent. Through her production banner Eternal Sunshine Productions, Alia Bhatt and Shaheen Bhatt, along with co-producers Grishma Shah and Vikesh Bhutani, have launched five newcomers with Dont Be Shy. The project brings together first-time filmmaker Sreeti Mukerji and four fresh actors Aarushi Bajaj, Bianca Arora, Ansh Duggal and Piyush Khati. Now streaming on Amazon Prime Video, Dont Be Shy revolves around life, love, friendship and the uncertainties of finding oneself during the college years. For Alia, the project marks a shift from being the newcomer who once entered the Hindi film industry to becoming a producer creating opportunities for emerging talent. With Eternal Sunshine Productions, she has been involved in backing stories led by newer voices, and Dont Be Shy sees that approach extend to both its director and young cast. The coming-of-age film brings together its young ensemble in a contemporary setting, exploring relationships and experiences associated with college life. While the four actors make their debut with the project, Mukerji also steps into feature filmmaking for the first time as director. Earlier in January, Alia had spoken about what drew her to the project and its coming-of-age narrative. She said, At Eternal Sunshine, weve always wanted to back stories that feel honest and voices that feel their own, she said. This film immediately spoke to us because of its sincerity and coming-of-age lens and Sreetis passion and energy naturally fed into the spirit of the story. Calling the project a personal milestone, she added, Its an incredibly special project for me and for Eternal Sunshine. And with Prime Video, we found partners who consistently take bold creative calls and genuinely support distinctive storytelling, which felt like a natural meeting of minds, and the right place for this story to find its audience. With Dont Be Shy, Alias journey has come a step closer to a full-circle moment from making her own debut in Hindi cinema to using her position as a producer to introduce fresh faces and a first-time filmmaker to audiences. Dont Be Shy is currently streaming on Amazon Prime Video. Also Read: Alia Bhatt joins Dont Be Shy cast for Re Bawri music video ahead of Prime Video premiere

Sunita Ahuja asks women and Gen Z to support her amid Govinda's dating rumours
Sunita Ahuja has seemingly taken a dig at Govinda and Rani Swarnkar amid ongoing rumours. During her visit to Kolkatas Dakshineswar Kali Temple, she said her house was breaking down and sought Goddess Kalis help to overcome her problems
Govinda has addressed the ongoing discussion surrounding a viral video of him visiting the Lalbaugcha Raja Ganpati pandal with actress Komal Rani, who will be seen as the leading lady in his upcoming film Roopa. The actor clarified that his visit with his co-star was part of a promotional activity and pointed out that he has done similar outings with actresses in the past. Speaking to ANI about the reaction to the videos, Govinda said, Log toh aise react kar rahe haiMain Roopa film ke liye prarthana kar raha tha. Main isse pehle Karisma (Kapoor) ke saath gaya tha, voh good luck raha tha mera, films hit hue thi. Raveena ke saath bhi gaya tha, film hit hue thi. Iss time main Rani ke saath gaya hu. Praarthana ki hai (People are reacting in this way I was praying for my film Roopa. Earlier, I had gone with Karisma Kapoor, which turned out to be good luck for me and the films were hits. I also went with Raveena, and that film was a hit. This time, I went with Rani. I have offered my prayers). The actor also questioned the attention surrounding the visit and maintained that there was no reason for the outing to become a subject of controversy. Pata nahi kya logo ko kasht hai? Shuru ho raha hai toh uspe itna charcha kaise hai. Hum famous ho rahe hai toh aapko kya taqleef hai (I dont know what people have a problem with. It is just beginning, so why is there so much discussion around it? If we are becoming famous, what problem do you have with that?), he said. Meanwhile, actress-dancer Rakhi Sawant also reacted to the viral video and urged Govinda to reconsider the optics of his public appearance with Komal Rani. Sharing several videos on Instagram, Rakhi appealed to the actor to take Sunita Ahuja along with him instead. Ye bahot galat baat hai Govinda ji. Apni biwi ko le ke jana chahiye, jiske sath aap 40 saal gujare (This is very wrong, Govinda ji. You should have taken your wife, with whom you have spent 40 years), Rakhi said. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Timesapplaud trends (@timesapplaudtrends_) In another video, she directly addressed Govinda, saying, Are Chichi bhaiya, kya ho gaya aapko? Itne bade Lalbaugcha ke Ganpati mein aap wo Rupa, Komal ko lekar gaye (Oh Chichi brother, what has happened to you? At such a big Lalbaugcha Ganpati, you went with that Rupa, Komal ) She further questioned the identity of his co-star and asked him to spend time with Sunita. Kaun hai wo? Aap apni biwi ko lekar ghumo na, Sunita ji ko (Who is she? You should go around with your wife, Sunita ji), Rakhi added. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Kishan Panday (@kisan_pandey123456) Appealing for reconciliation, Rakhi said, Wo bhi khamosh ho gayi hai. Subh ka bhula shaam ko ghar aa jaye to usko bhula nahi kehte. Aap sab kuch bhul jao yar (She has also become silent. If someone who loses their way in the morning returns home by evening, they are not considered lost. Forget everything, please). The latest discussion comes amid increased public attention around Govinda and Sunita Ahuja. Before this, Sunita had made a comment to paparazzi comparing the loyalty of animals with humans. Around the same time, Govindas nephew Krushna Abhisheks wife Kashmera Shah also shared a cryptic Instagram note touching upon heartbreak, infidelity and loyalty.
