Himesh Reshammiya recalls his journey in the music industry; says, I wanted to work on my own terms
Himesh Reshammiya has spoken about his journey in the music industry, his father Vipin Reshammiyas influence on his career, and his decision to work on his own terms. The composer and singer shared these insights during his appearance on Komal Nahtas podcast Game Changers: The Music Series. The latest season of the podcast features singers, composers and music personalities discussing their creative journeys, inspirations and experiences in the industry. Hosted by trade analyst Komal Nahta, the series explores the stories behind the music and the people who have contributed to Indian cinema. During the conversation, Himesh reflected on his early exposure to the film industry through his father, Vipin Reshammiya, who introduced him to the workings of the music business. He spoke about how his father's professional relationships and experience helped him gain access to opportunities that are not always available to musicians. He said, I wanted to work on my own terms. That was clear! My father was the first person to introduce electronic instruments in India. He did well and went on to become a producer. Whatever I am today is because of him. He gave me access that most musicians dont have, but producers do. During my childhood, all the top people from the industry used to come to my house. He signed a film with Salman, was in talks with Aamir, and did a film with Mithun. I wanted to use the access I got through him to get the 300400 songs I had made to be a part of films. I had 300400 songs before joining the industry, and now I have 10,000. I have my own music label, so I dont have to go out searching for music. Himesh also spoke about the volume of music he has composed over the years. From having 300400 compositions before entering the industry to building a catalogue of around 10,000 songs, he highlighted how his approach to music has evolved throughout his career. He also pointed to owning a music label as a way to release his work without depending entirely on external opportunities. With Game Changers: The Music Series, Komal Nahta continues to bring conversations with music industry figures to audiences. The latest episode featuring Himesh Reshammiya is available on the podcasts YouTube channel.

Vedika Pinto brings understated elegance to her latest look in black
Vedika Pinto has been gaining attention following the audience appreciation for Musafir Cafe, where her portrayal of Sudha has brought her recognition. As she continues to explore different roles on screen, the actress is also developing her presence in the fashion space. Her latest appearance sees her opt for an all-black ensemble that combines a structured silhouette with understated detailing. For her latest look, Vedika chose a black outfit featuring a plunging neckline, a cinched waist and voluminous sleeves. The tailored fit adds structure to the ensemble, while the flowing silhouette lends movement to the overall look. Keeping the colour palette monochromatic, the actress relied on the outfit's design and accessories to create a statement. A layered statement necklace added detail to the neckline, complementing the otherwise understated ensemble. Vedika kept her beauty look minimal, opting for softly styled hair, defined eyes and subtle makeup. She completed the outfit with pointed black heels featuring gold detailing, bringing together elements of contemporary power dressing and eveningwear. The look highlights how a monochromatic outfit can stand out through its silhouette, accessories and carefully chosen details. Rather than relying on extensive embellishments, the styling keeps the focus on the outfit's structure and the contrast created by the jewellery and footwear. With Musafir Cafe bringing her further audience attention, Vedika continues to build her screen presence while developing an individual style identity. Her fashion choices reflect a preference for contemporary silhouettes and restrained styling, allowing the details to shape the overall look. Her latest appearance is another example of her approach to fashion, where a classic colour palette and thoughtful accessories come together to create an outfit that makes a statement without being overly elaborate.

Kaashvi Hiranandani has issued an apology after facing criticism over her remarks about Love Gill during the latest Weekend Ka Vaar episode of Bigg Boss 20. In an Instagram story, ScoutOPs girlfriend acknowledged that some of her words were insensitive and said she could have expressed her concerns differently. The controversy began when Kaashvi appeared on the episode hosted by Rohit Shetty and confronted ScoutOP, whose real name is Tanmay Singh, over his physical closeness with Love inside the house. During the interaction, she sarcastically asked him, How is the massage parlour going, Tanmay?, referring to instances in which he had massaged Loves feet, hands and neck. Kaashvi also accused Love of having trapped Scout, saying, Usne aapko phasaya hai aur aap phas gaye. She expressed discomfort with their bond and said it had made people, including members of her family, uncomfortable. Her comments subsequently drew criticism from viewers who felt Love was being held responsible for Scouts actions. Kaashvi Hiranandani says she could have expressed herself better Addressing the criticism, Kaashvi clarified that her intention had been to question Scout about his behaviour rather than pass judgement on Love. She acknowledged that some of her remarks crossed a line. My intention was to address Scout, call out the mistakes I felt he had made, and hold him accountable for his actions. However, in doing so, I realise that some of the words I used were insensitive towards other people involved. Regardless of what I was feeling at the time, it is not my place to pass judgements on someone elses intentions or character, and I could have expressed myself better, she wrote. She further stated that she had never intended to encourage hostility towards Love. I never intended to direct hate towards another woman or encourage anyone to target her. I understand that my words carry weight, and I take responsibility for how they may have come across, the story read. I should have known better Kaashvi also referred to the online commentary surrounding Love, saying that content questioning the latters intentions had affected her emotions during the confrontation. Watching all the She knows what she's doing, Its her strategy content clouded my emotions but I should have known better, she wrote. Concluding her statement, Kaashvi acknowledged that it was not her place to question Loves intentions and apologised to those who had been hurt by her comments. Its not my place to tell her anything, I recognise that and truly apologise to everyone Ive hurt, she added. Kaashvis apology comes after Love Gills team issued a statement defending her and questioning why she was being blamed for Scouts feelings. The team maintained that Love had always considered Scout a brother and argued that she was facing a toxic double standard by being held responsible for a mans choices. The statement concluded that Love deserved empathy, not cruelty and should not have to pay for a mans choices.

Netflix is set to bring a festive family story to audiences this Diwali with Dilwali Diwali, a new film starring Mihir Ahuja, Manoj Pahwa, Neelu Kohli and Aurra Bhatnagar. Produced by Terribly Tiny Tales (TTT), the film will premiere on the streaming platform on November 5, 2026, and explores the emotional complexities of intergenerational relationships, family expectations and the meaning of home. The story follows Ansh Sikka, played by Mihir Ahuja, who returns home after years of working abroad. Having bought his middle-class Punjabi parents a new high-rise apartment, Ansh believes he has given them a better life. However, his homecoming during Diwali brings an unexpected realisation: upgrading a house does not necessarily change what makes it feel like home. As the Sikkas come together for the festival, their differing ideas of happiness and success lead to moments of humour, tenderness and emotional reflection. While Ansh wants to provide his parents with greater comforts, they remain attached to the memories and familiarity of their old life. The film explores the gap between a child's desire to give their parents the best and a parent's understanding of what truly matters. Written by Ritu Mago and directed by Ritesh Menon, Dilwali Diwali marks another collaboration between TTT and Netflix following Greater Kalesh and Musafir Cafe. Speaking about his character, Mihir Ahuja said, Anshs journey in Dilwali Diwali comes from a place of love. I think thats what makes the story so relatable. We all want to do the best for our families, but sometimes, in trying to give them more, we forget to understand what truly makes them happy. TTT has beautifully captured these nuances with humour and heart, and Im excited for audiences to experience the film on Netflix this Diwali and see a little bit of their own families in the Sikkas. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Netflix India (@netflix_in) Manoj Pahwa, who plays Anshs father, added, For a parent, home is never just about the walls, the furniture, or the address. Its about the memories youve built, the people youve shared your life with, and the little things that make a place your own. Children may have a different idea of what makes a good life, but the love behind both perspectives is the same. In Dilwali Diwali, TTT and Netflix bring this familiar generational dynamic to life in a way that is deeply heartfelt. I hope audiences enjoy watching this story with their families on Netflix this Diwali and find their own meaning of home in it. With its focus on family bonds and the emotional significance of home, Dilwali Diwali arrives on Netflix on November 5, offering a festive story centred on the idea that while a house can be upgraded, the feeling of home is something else altogether.

EXCLUSIVE: Sumo Didi becomes the first film to be shot at Japans Sumo Temple
Sumo Didi, which has been streaming on Hindi Zee 5 from October 23, brings to life the true story of Hetal Dave, Indias first professional female sumo wrestler, whose journey challenged conventions and redefined what it means to pursue ones dreams against all odds. Sumo Didi has made history by becoming the first film ever to be shot at Japans Sumo Temple, a location deeply rooted in the tradition and culture of sumo wrestling. For Hetal, seeing her story come alive at a place so closely connected to the sport carried a deeply personal significance, even though she is yet to visit Japan herself. It has always been my dream to visit Japan. I couldnt make it there yet, but I am so, so happy that my film did. Being connected to Japanese games all my life, it feels out of this world that my movie was shot in the Mecca of sumo wrestling. It also helps the film and my story connect with the traditions of the game. My film being shot in Japan is a blessing for me. One day, I will visit there and get to experience it myself, shared Hetal Dave. For the actor bringing her journey to life, filming at the same location offered an opportunity to understand the sport beyond the physical demands of the role. Shriyam Bhagnani, who plays Hetal in the film, had spent months preparing for the character before arriving in Japan. Filming in Japan, especially at a place so closely connected to the traditions of sumo, was an incredibly special experience. By that point, I had spent months training for the role, so being in an environment where the sport has such deep cultural roots gave everything a different meaning, said Shriyam. She added, Until then, much of my understanding had come from training and preparing for the character. Being surrounded by the sport in its own cultural context helped me appreciate that sumo is much more than a physical contest. It carries a history, a discipline and a set of traditions that have been preserved over generations. The film had real sumo wrestlers from across the world travelling to be a part of the shoot. Among them was a wrestler who held the top position in the sport at the time of filming. For Shriyam, the experience of filming in Japan also reinforced the responsibility of portraying Hetals story with authenticity and respect. As an actor, those experiences are invaluable because they allow you to absorb details that you might not consciously think about while performing, but that ultimately influence how you inhabit a character. It made me feel even more responsible for portraying Hetals journey with authenticity and respect, she explained. Bringing Hetals journey to life also required extensive preparation from Shriyam. Hetal personally trained the actor for 10 months before filming began, focusing on mastering sumo postures alongside broader physical training to help her embody the character convincingly. The preparation was essential to capturing not just the physical aspects of the sport, but also the discipline and dedication that shaped Hetals journey. Reflecting on what the experience meant to her, Shriyam said, More than anything, it was a reminder of how far Hetals journey had taken her and how extraordinary it was that we were bringing her story to the screen.

Rashmika Mandanna has responded to the online criticism surrounding her relationship with Vijay Deverakonda, addressing the opinions and unsolicited advice the couple has received following their recent interview. In a detailed social media post, the actor spoke about their understanding of love, their decision to build a life together, and why she believes their relationship should not be judged by public opinion. Taking to Instagram, Rashmika shared her perspective on the ongoing discussions and explained that the reaction to their interview had gone beyond people expressing their opinions. She wrote, My lovely people of the internet, To all those who deeply love, and to those who are permanently bitter. My lil 2 cents on this whole issue concerning me and Vijju. I generally dont address these things because everyone has a right to their opinions. Sometimes, I even enjoy reading them and gaining a different perspective. But the current frenzy over our interview feels less like people having opinions and more like an angry mob looking for someone to vent at. Somewhere along the way, the whole point got lost. Maybe it didnt fit your lens. Maybe some of you simply dont want to see it. Im writing this because I want to protect the people who believe in love, and I hope everyone gets to find their own version of it. Addressing the discussion around their decision to marry, Rashmika clarified that their conversation was never about the number of times something was discussed or an entire year. Instead, she explained that Vijay wanted them to take the time to understand each other and consider whether they were ready to move forward together. She stated, And we did. We chose each other. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Rashmika Mandanna (@rashmika_mandanna) The actor acknowledged that while she was certain about what she wanted, Vijay preferred to think through the practical aspects of their future before making a decision. According to her, their differences complemented each other rather than affecting their relationship. She also explained that marriage, for them, was not about a grand proposal, getting down on one knee or exchanging rings, but about building a life together. Rashmika further expressed her feelings for Vijay, making it clear that she sees no reason to hide her affection for him. She wrote, And yes, I am OBSESSED with my man. When did that become a bad thing? Explaining what their relationship means to her, she described Vijay as her lifelong companion, friend and the person with whom she wants to share both ordinary and extraordinary moments. She added that she would choose to marry him repeatedly, emphasising that their commitment goes beyond a single proposal or a particular number of times. The actor also pointed out that both she and Vijay have built their lives through their own choices and hard work. Defending their right to decide their future, she wrote, We have both built our lives on our own terms, with our own choices and our own hard work. We are smart, capable adults, blessed with the freedom and privilege to choose how we want to live and whom we want to share our lives with. And we chose US. We will keep choosing each other, again and again, until the end. Rashmika also addressed those who have expressed concern about her relationship through social media posts and reels. Thanking them for their concern, she said that they had not been present during the difficult phases of her life, while Vijay had stood by her. She added that she is currently happy and content, pointing to the joy she has experienced since getting married, as well as in her films and performances. Describing the support she receives from Vijay, Rashmika referred to moments when she has been unwell, needed medical attention or experienced anxiety. She emphasised that he has been there for her during such times and asked people not to worry about either of them. The actor also criticised the spread of misleading edits and unverified narratives online, saying that some people appeared more willing to believe internet speculation than her own account of her life. Towards the end of her post, Rashmika drew a distinction between feminism and online bullying, particularly when it involves her family. She wrote, Bitch about me all you want. I can take it. But talking about my family without knowing them? Thats not feminism. Thats bullying dressed up as feminism. She added that feminism was about having the freedom to make personal choices and take charge of one's life, rather than putting others down. Rashmika also addressed some of her Kannadiga followers, acknowledging their continued interest in her after a decade. Concluding her message, the actor expressed her wishes for people to find love, happiness and fulfilment in their own lives, regardless of whether their idea of love matched hers.
