Priyanka has previously spoken about her happiness at becoming a maasi to her nephew. In November 2025, Parineeti offered a glimpse of the gifts she received for Neer from Priyanka, her husband Nick Jonas and their daughter Malti Marie. The hamper included baby shoes, clothes, a hairbrush and other essentials for the newborn. Expressing her gratitude, Parineeti wrote, Neer getting spoilt already!

The excitement of Saif Ali Khan over ghee has become an unexpected talking point on social media, with his reaction to a prize on Kaun Banega Crorepati continuing to entertain audiences. The actor has now opened up about his fondness for the ingredient, explaining how a light-hearted moment turned into a running joke. He has also revealed that he is still waiting to receive the ghee he was promised on the quiz show. The moment originated during Saifs appearance on Kaun Banega Crorepati alongside Akshay Kumar. During the episode, Saif learnt that answering the tenth question correctly would unlock a two-year supply of Gowardhan Ghee. His enthusiastic response, Wow, what? This is it; this is why I came, quickly became a viral meme, with social media users joking about his excitement over the prize. The joke resurfaced during a recent episode of Netflixs The Great Indian Kapil Show, where Saif appeared alongside his wife, Kareena Kapoor Khan. The episode marked the couples first joint appearance on Kapil Sharmas comedy show. During their conversation, the two spoke about married life, parenting and fitness. When Kapil asked about the secret behind their youthful appearance after 14 years of marriage, Saif playfully credited ghee, with Kareena adding that it is a regular part of their household. Saif also used the opportunity to joke about not having received either his prize cheque or the promised supply of ghee. He has now elaborated on why the ingredient appeals to him, linking his interest to cooking as well as its traditional uses. It started off as a light joke, but it became such an amazing thing. We have so many good uses for ghee. I like cooking also, and I think cooking chicken in ghee is one of the most amazing things. My wife has many nutritional ideas. She even massages it on her feet, which is a really good Ayurveda, joke aside. It also helps you sleep very well. Ghee has got incredible benefits, and I am going to benefit. Despite the humour surrounding the episode, Saif made it clear that he has not forgotten the promised prize. Addressing the brand directly, he said, To all the good people at Govardhan Ghee, I just want to tell you before things get really serious - I still havent received my ghee, and I am expecting it. So please, lets honour our commitments! Whether the actor eventually receives his two-year supply remains to be seen, but the running gag has given audiences another memorable Saif Ali Khan moment.

Aasif Khans wife, Zeba, has broken her silence on the controversy surrounding the actors health after his confrontation with fellow Bigg Boss 20 contestant Qazi Touqeer. In a strongly worded social media statement, Zeba revealed that Aasif had suffered a massive heart attack at the age of 34 and explained why he had initially described his health scare as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Zebas statement comes after Aasif and Qazi got into a heated argument over a remark about a heart attack. The disagreement escalated into a physical confrontation, with Aasif headbutting Qazi. The incident sparked a wider discussion among viewers about Aasifs past health scare and Qazis comment. Addressing the backlash, Zeba said the accusations and abuse directed at her husband and their family had compelled her to speak publicly about his medical history. Aasif Khans wife says he suffered a massive heart attack at 34 In her statement, Zeba said she had initially chosen to remain silent, hoping the controversy would settle down. However, she said the negativity surrounding Aasif had made it difficult for her to stay quiet. Having witnessed Aasifs pain firsthand, I feel I owe it to him and our family to share the truth, she wrote. Confirming the seriousness of his medical condition, she added, Yes, Aasif had a heart attack. A massive one. At just 34. Zeba also expressed distress over having to make her husbands medical records public to establish the seriousness of his experience. It breaks my heart that I now have to share his medical reports just to prove what he went through was real. I never imagined something so personal would have to be made public for people to believe him, she said. Why Aasif Khan initially said it was GERD Zeba explained that Aasif had initially attributed his health scare to GERD because he was afraid that disclosing a serious cardiac condition could affect his career and future work opportunities. When Aasif initially said it was GERD and not a heart attack, it was out of fear. He worried that a serious health condition could cost him the projects he had worked hard for and close doors to future opportunities. In an industry where opportunities are uncertain, especially without backing, that fear was real, she wrote. Recalling the severity of his condition, Zeba said, I will never forget being told his main coronary artery was completely blocked, the ICU, the stent, or holding my husband as he cried, afraid of losing the future he had dreamed of. Zeba added that the experience was particularly painful for Aasif because he had lost his father to a heart attack when he was a child. Surviving a similar medical emergency himself, she said, brought back the fear of losing his life and leaving his own family behind. Zeba alleges death threats against Aasif and rape threats against family Zeba also condemned the online abuse directed at her husband and their family amid the Bigg Boss 20 controversy. She said, Seeing his health turned into a joke and his honesty questioned is deeply painful. This has gone beyond criticism. We have faced vile abuse, death threats against Aasif and rape threats against our family. Nothing can justify this. Questioning the hostility surrounding a reality television dispute, Zeba added, Bigg Boss is an entertainment reality show. When did entertainment become an excuse for cruelty? When did disagreements become a reason to threaten someones life or target their family? She acknowledged that viewers could have differing opinions about contestants and their actions but urged them to distinguish criticism from personal attacks. Everyone is entitled to an opinion. But criticism is not cruelty, and disagreement should never become a reason to wish harm upon someone, she said. Concluding her statement, Zeba said the issue extended beyond her husband and called for greater sensitivity towards people who have survived serious medical emergencies. This is bigger than Aasif. Every survivor and every family who has watched a loved one fight for their life deserves compassion, not ridicule, she wrote. She added, Behind every contestant is a real person, a family and a life beyond the cameras. Zeba ended her message with an appeal for empathy, saying, Please choose empathy. Please choose kindness. No disagreement should ever come at the cost of basic human decency.

Ranbir Kapoor brought a regal touch to promotional activities for Ramayana in Hyderabad, where he attended a special event along with the team of the film. Staying true to his understated approach to fashion, the actor opted for a traditional silhouette with contemporary detailing, allowing his carefully chosen accessories to add character to the ensemble. The standout element, however, was his Jacob & Co. timepiece, reportedly worth approximately Rs. 35.88 lakhs. For the occasion, Ranbir wore a bespoke midnight-blue bandhgala featuring a raised mandarin collar and a sharply tailored fit. Layered over a crisp white shirt, the textured jacket offered a polished take on festive dressing without relying on a conventional suit-and-tie combination. The deep blue shade lent the look a formal finish, while the traditional Indian silhouette complemented the events cinematic setting. The actor elevated the ensemble with a distinctive bird-shaped brooch embellished with stones and finished with a droplet emerald. A gold-toned button detail added another accent to the jacket. He completed the look with amber-tinted tortoiseshell glasses, a single hoop earring and neatly groomed hair, keeping the overall styling restrained while allowing the finer details to stand out. The most notable accessory was the Jacob & Co. Epic X Sher-e-Punjab Gold Edition watch, reference EX113.43.AE.AA.ABRUA. The exclusive timepiece features a 44 mm rose-gold-toned case and an open-worked skeleton design that reveals the mechanical movement beneath the sapphire crystal. Its construction places the movement at the centre of the design, giving the watch a distinctive architectural appearance. The timepiece also incorporates symbolic detailing, including engravings of the Ek Onkar, a roaring lion emblem and the Khanda. These elements distinguish the edition, while its royal-blue honeycomb rubber strap echoed the colour palette of Ranbirs bandhgala. With an approximate reported price of Rs. 35,88,000, the watch became a statement piece in an otherwise carefully balanced look. Ranbirs Hyderabad appearance comes ahead of the theatrical release of Ramayana: Part One, directed by Nitesh Tiwari. The film is scheduled to arrive in cinemas worldwide on November 5, 2026, with Ranbir playing Lord Rama, Sai Pallavi portraying Sita and Yash appearing as Ravana.

The romantic drama explored the darker side of love, tracing how a passionate relationship could turn into a complicated and emotionally charged experience.

Following her appearance in Ek Deewani Ki Deewaniyat, Sonam was seen in Border 2, a war drama co-written and directed by Anurag Singh. The film served as a sequel to J. P. Dutta's 1997 film Border and was set against the backdrop of the 1971 India-Pakistan war. Headlined by Sunny Deol, Border 2 also featured Varun Dhawan, Diljit Dosanjh and Ahan Shetty, alongside Mona Singh, Sonam Bajwa, Medha Rana and Anya Singh in pivotal roles. Its narrative drew from five major military engagements and operations associated with the 1971 war, including the Battle of Manawar Tawi, the Battle of Basantar, the air defence of Srinagar, the naval engagement involving INS Khukri and the enemy air strikes under Operation Chengiz Khan.

Rashmika Mandanna opened up about body exposure, on-screen costumes and the importance of actors being able to set boundaries during her appearance on Koffee With Karan Season 9. The discussion came after host Karan Johar brought up the criticism surrounding Janhvi Kapoors introduction in Peddi. Janhvis role as Achiyamma in Buchi Babu Sanas Peddi had sparked a discussion online, with some viewers questioning the emphasis on her appearance and body over the character. The criticism led to conversations around the portrayal of female actors in commercial and rural-set films. During the second episode of Koffee With Karan Season 9, which featured Rashmika alongside Vijay Deverakonda, Karan discussed the topic with the actress. He pointed out that he had not seen a similar situation happen with Rashmika and asked whether she had been careful about such portrayals. Rashmika Mandanna on costumes and skin show Rashmika said, There are some things that I am not okay with. I know some characters sort of need something like a bikini or something like that, but even in that, I would say I am not very comfortable with exposing or skin show; I am not that kind of person. The actress added that commercial films can sometimes involve costumes that make her uncomfortable. However, she said she has certain boundaries that she communicates while working with filmmakers. But at the same time, there are lines that I draw for myself, which most often directors are okay with. Those are the kind of people I prefer working with, Rashmika added. Vijay Deverakonda says such conversations can be challenging Vijay Deverakonda then pointed out that having these conversations with filmmakers and teams can still be difficult for actors. But then it is still challenging to have these conversations, Vijay said. Rashmika agreed and explained that actors should feel comfortable enough to ask questions or express concerns about a particular scene or costume. Correct, but you also need to make it easier for the actors to come and ask such questions because even I find it hard. Sometimes I have a conversation with Viju: 'I want to say this, you think I can?' And he is like, 'Yes, you should,' she said. Vijay Deverakonda stresses the need for a support system Vijay further spoke about the pressure actors can face when they decide to refuse something they are uncomfortable doing. According to him, having a support system can help performers understand that saying no does not make them unprofessional. They all need a support system to tell them that it is okay to put your foot down and say a 'no', because people can make you feel like you are an actress, you have signed this film, isn't this your job? So, you start feeling that pressure of 'Am I not doing my job?' When they start making you feel unprofessional, it is like, 'Let us not make a big deal about it; let's hope that it will all be okay', and you kind of do it unwillingly, Vijay said.

Akka trailer: Keerthy Suresh, Radhika Apte lock horns in Netflixs gangster drama
Netflix has unveiled the trailer of Akka, an upcoming gangster drama starring Keerthy Suresh and Radhika Apte in the lead roles. Written and directed by Dharmaraj Shetty, the series is set in the fictional kingdom of Pernuru, where a power struggle between two women threatens to disrupt a long-standing legacy. Produced by YRF Entertainment, Akka is scheduled to premiere on Netflix on October 30. The series also features Tanvi Azmi, Mahesh Manjrekar, Anshuman Pushkar and Monica Panwar. The trailer introduces Bhavani, played by Keerthy, and Rudra, portrayed by Radhika, as two women with different ambitions and approaches to power. As Rudra challenges the established order in Pernuru, tensions rise, and long-standing loyalties are put to the test. Keerthy Suresh on playing Bhavani Keerthy described Bhavani as a character who is determined to protect her legacy while dealing with difficult choices. Bhavani is a woman who knows what she stands for and will go to great lengths to protect her legacy. What makes her interesting is that beneath her strength and authority are choices that are never easy, especially when the stakes are so high, Keerthy said. The actress also spoke about working with Radhika Apte, saying the contrasting personalities of Bhavani and Rudra add to the tension in the story. Working with Radhika was amazing because Bhavani and Rudra bring such different energies to the story, and their dynamic adds another layer of tension to the narrative, she added. Radhika Apte on Rudra and her rivalry with Bhavani Radhika described Rudra as a woman who refuses to be defined by her circumstances and is willing to challenge the existing power structure. Rudra is someone who refuses to be defined by the circumstances she finds herself in. She is fierce, has her own ambitions, and is willing to challenge the established order, which makes her a fascinating character to explore, she said. According to Radhika, the central conflict in Akka goes beyond a straightforward battle for power and is also shaped by the characters' personal beliefs and loyalties. What I enjoyed about Akka is that the conflict isn't simply about who holds power; it's also about the different beliefs, loyalties, and personal stakes that drive each character, she added. Radhika also described sharing the screen with Keerthy as an enjoyable experience while bringing the rivalry between their characters to life. Dharmaraj Shetty on creating the world of Akka Writer-director Dharmaraj Shetty said the opportunity to approach the gangster genre through a different setting and set of characters was one of the reasons he was drawn to the project. What drew me to Akka was the chance to give the gangster genre a world with its own rules, and to tell a large, entertaining saga through characters and relationships we don't often see at its centre, Shetty said. He added that Pernuru is shaped by generations of women, with power and rivalry forming the core of the story. Pernuru is a world shaped by generations of women, where power, legacy, and rivalry play out in fresh and unexpected ways, he added. Akka marks the latest collaboration between Netflix and YRF Entertainment. The two companies have previously worked together on projects including The Romantics, The Railway Men, Maharaj and Mandala Murders. The series will premiere on Netflix on October 30.

Dia Mirza opens up on completing 25 years in cinema; says, Ive pursued meaning over material
Actor Dia Mirza reflected on her 25-year journey in the film industry as Rehnaa Hai Terre Dil Mein completed 25 years this month. The actor, who made her Bollywood debut opposite R Madhavan in the 2001 romantic drama, recalled how the box-office performance of her early films affected her career and led to her being sidelined from feature films. Mirza was 19 when she entered the industry after winning the Miss Asia Pacific International crown in 2000. Although Rehnaa Hai Terre Dil Mein initially failed at the box office, the film eventually gained cult status. Looking back at the challenges she faced during the early years of her career, the actor spoke about the emotional impact of losing opportunities at a young age. When my films didnt work at the box office, I was honestly bunked from feature films. And that can be a huge emotional setback to a young and aspiring actor, she said. By 2004-05, Mirza had shifted her focus away from chasing stardom. Instead, she chose to pursue projects that aligned with her beliefs and work with people who valued her contribution. Explaining her approach to selecting stories, she said, Ive pursued meaning over material. For me, what really matters and has continued to matter even more progressively through the years is what is the substance that Im getting behind? What is the reason for telling a story? The why really matters to me, she said. Her interest in meaningful storytelling also encouraged her to explore film production early in her career. Mirza became a producer at 24 and released her first independent film as a producer at 26. Through her production house, she backed projects such as Love Breakups Zindagi (2011) and Bobby Jasoos (2014), starring Vidya Balan. Speaking about creating opportunities for herself, she said, If Im not going to get a seat at the table, Im going to build my own table. I am going to create space for what I truly believe in and what I believe I can add value to. Mirza also credited her later projects with changing the industry's perception of her as an actor. She pointed to the 2019 web series Kaafir, in which she played Kainaaz Akhtar, as a turning point. Before the series, she often heard that she was being underutilised despite her appearance. However, she said the response changed after the show. Up until then, I would hear people say, Youre so beautiful, underutilised, you should be doing more. But Kaafir, Ive not heard it. Ive not heard it even once, she said. Her performance as Manyata Dutt in Sanju (2018) also helped open up new opportunities. I feel like Sanju was a major turning point. And playing Manyatta, because I think finally it kind of really opened up opportunities that hadn't opened up for a very long time, she explained. When it came to choosing roles, Mirza said she had prioritised the depth of a character over screen time or whether she played the protagonist. Ive never pursued length. Ive always pursued depth. She expressed a preference for layered and flawed female characters, adding that she considered their purpose within the larger narrative before deciding whether a role appealed to her. Reflecting on the representation of women in cinema, Mirza said conversations around patriarchy and misogyny had evolved over the past 10 to 15 years. She also pointed to filmmakers such as Anubhav Sinha, whose film Thappad addressed these subjects. As she looked back on her career, Mirza emphasised that an actor's professional journey did not have to be limited by age or time spent in the industry. Offering advice to young performers, she said, There is no shelf life. You decide how long you want to work for. As long as you are willing to grow and work and learn and bring your best effort and your integrity to a path, you will always work.

Saif Ali Khan recently offered a glimpse into his personal life, sharing moments from a leisurely day that featured fresh food and some time by the swimming pool. The actor took to Instagram on Tuesday to post two pictures, giving followers a look at his farm-to-table dining experience and his time away from work.

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Saif Ali Khan (@saifalikhanpataudi) Since making his Instagram debut on October 11, Saif has been sharing glimpses of his personal life, including photographs from his ancestral home and moments from his childhood. His arrival on the platform attracted attention, as the actor had largely stayed away from social media for years. Among his early posts was a photograph taken at the Pataudi Library, where he was seen seated with a book. Captioning the picture, he wrote, Pataudi Library.. Judging books by their cover. Saif also revisited his childhood memories by sharing a photograph from 1975, taken on the terrace of his mother's home on Carmichael Road in Mumbai.

Over the years, producer Ritesh Sidhwani and his banner, Excel Entertainment, have provided a number of memorable and successful films. Continuing their run at the box office, Excel Entertainment and director Gurmmeet Singh gave another hit to the industry in the form of Mirzapur The Movie. Featuring an ensemble cast led by Pankaj Tripathi, Ali Fazal, and Divyenndu, the film turned the iconic franchise into a big screen extravaganza drawing massive crowds to the theatres. While the cinematic adaptation delivered the same gritty drama, action, and unforgettable characters that fans fell in love with, its soul remains rooted in a passion for classic Hindi cinema. Talking about the creative choices that went into building this world, producer Ritesh Sidhwani shared an interesting peek into how legendary classics like Amar Akbar Anthony subtly found their way into the story. It was planned as a subtle reference: Just like 3 leading men were the faces of Amar Akbar Anthony, similarly, Pankaj Tripathi (Kaleen Bhaiya), Divyenndu (Munna Bhaiya), and Ali Fazal (Guddu Bhaiya) stood as the three main men from the film. Highlighting the references added in the film, Ritesh Sidhwani shared: There are certain references that Guru (Gurmmeet Singh) has put in Mirzapur from Amar Akbar Anthony. So yeah, weve grown up watching those films and adding references from it was iconic. With Mirzapur The Movies success, these little references stand as a tribute to the cinema that raised a generation of filmmakers.
