Actor Sidharth Malhotra has revealed that he was once set to collaborate with filmmaker Aditya Dhar on a project backed by Dharma Productions. The actor shared the information during his recent appearance on Koffee With Karan, where host Karan Johar brought up the long-discussed collaboration while asking him about directors he would like to work with. During the conversation, Johar named several filmmakers, including Aditya Dhar, Mohit Suri, Sandeep Reddy Vanga and Sanjay Leela Bhansali, and asked Malhotra, Aditya Dhar, Mohit Suri, Sandeep Reddy Vanga, Sanjay Leela Bhansali, the directors of the moment. Is there anyone you're willing to do anything to work with? Responding to the question, Malhotra said, Oh wow, I think all of them are extremely exciting. Maybe Aditya, because I've interacted with him in the past. Johar then brought up their earlier association, reminding the actor of a project that had been planned several years ago. You were meant to do a film many moons ago. To which Sidharth replied, Yes, in Dharma itself. The brief exchange brought attention to a collaboration that never materialised. The project was reportedly in development during Aditya Dhars early years in the industry, before he made his directorial debut with Uri: The Surgical Strike in 2019. Although the film with Malhotra was to be backed by Dharma Productions, it did not progress to the shooting stage. Neither the actor, nor the filmmaker shared further details about the proposed project during the conversation. Interestingly, both Malhotra and Dhar have since explored stories rooted in action, military operations and national security, albeit through different projects. Malhotra has essayed defence personnel and characters associated with national security in films such as Aiyaary (2018), Mission Majnu (2023) and Yodha (2024). His performance as Captain Vikram Batra in the 2021 biographical war drama Shershaah earned him considerable appreciation and remains a notable film in his career. Dhar, meanwhile, established himself as a filmmaker with Uri: The Surgical Strike, which went on to become a significant milestone in his career. His subsequent work in Dhurandhar and Dhurandhar The Revenge has further strengthened his association with large-scale action narratives and technically ambitious storytelling. While the Koffee With Karan conversation did not indicate whether the two are considering working together in the future, Malhotras revelation offers a glimpse into a collaboration that was planned long before either had established their current standing in the industry.

Kiara Advani has spoken about the online criticism she faced following the promotional rollout of Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups, particularly the scrutiny surrounding her intimate scenes with Kannada superstar Yash. During her appearance on the latest episode of Koffee With Karan alongside husband Sidharth Malhotra, the actress addressed the gendered nature of the backlash and explained how her partners response helped her deal with the commentary. The controversy had sparked conversations on social media, with some users questioning Kiaras decision to feature in bold sequences despite being married. However, similar personal scrutiny was largely absent in the case of Yash, who is also married and a parent. Discussing how the online reaction affected her and whether it became a subject of conversation at home, Kiara credited Sidharths attitude for helping her remain unaffected. I actually fed off his energy, the actress explained. He actually never cared about it. Hes never brought it up. We have never spoken about it. It didnt affect us. He was never bothered. And like you said Karan, it has been happening now for donkeys years for decades. Sidharth also confirmed that the issue did not become a discussion between them, saying, We actually didnt discuss. Kiara further pointed out that the online response was not entirely negative, with several people calling out the perceived double standards in the criticism directed at her. She said, But what I must touch upon is that when I was seeing what was going on on the internet, there was a massive reaction of people who have already started calling it out the hypocrisy and I really didnt feel the need to justify, she stated. The conversation also touched upon the films commercial performance. Despite generating considerable anticipation and recording strong advance bookings ahead of its opening, Toxic reportedly witnessed a sharp decline over its initial theatrical run. Kiara admitted that the response was difficult to process, especially because the team had not anticipated the films performance. On day one it was really heartbreaking especially for this film because I think as a team I dont think any of us saw it coming when it misfired, despite it opening to what it did, Advani acknowledged. The actress added that the initial disappointment gradually gave way to a more personal assessment of the experience, particularly the appreciation she received for taking on a role outside her usual comfort zone. That weekend, I was very low about it. But then, the fact that I got a lot of appreciation for going out of my comfort zone. For me, I think, in my journey, this will be defining, she shared. Through the conversation, Kiara reflected on both the personal scrutiny surrounding the film and the professional lessons she took away from the experience.

Kiara Advani brought her trademark spontaneity and humour to the Rapid Fire round on the latest season of Koffee With Karan, where she appeared alongside husband Sidharth Malhotra. From pitching an interesting collaboration with Alia Bhatt to making an unexpected casting choice, the actress delivered several candid responses. However, it was her playful take on date nights with Sidharth, amid her second pregnancy, that emerged as one of the most entertaining moments of the segment. During the round, host Karan Johar asked Kiara what she would do if she woke up as Alia Bhatt. The actress immediately came up with an idea for a potential collaboration, saying, I would call Zoya Akhtar and tell her lets make a girl gang film with Kiara. Her response brought a laugh from Johar and offered an interesting glimpse into the kind of project she would like to explore. Another question involved the possibility of stepping into Aishwarya Rai Bachchans role of Saba Taliyar Khan from Ae Dil Hai Mushkil. Johar asked Kiara whom she would cast opposite herself as Ayan Sanger, a character originally played by Ranbir Kapoor. In a spontaneous response, Kiara said, I would want Ahaan Panday as Salman Khan. Realising the mix-up in her answer, the actress paused before deciding to stand by her unexpected choice. With a grin, she added, Yeah why not Ahaan. The exchange left Johar and Sidharth amused, with the actress taking the slip-of-the-tongue in her stride. The most personal moment of the round came when Johar asked Kiara what she does to ensure that her date nights with Sidharth do not simply end with dinner. Cradling her baby bump, the actress responded with a playful punchline: Bas abhi ho gaya.. now I want it to end with dinner. Sidharth joined in on the joke, offering his take on their current routine and saying, Now she is more interested in her dinner and cravings. The couples exchange prompted laughter on the set, giving viewers a light-hearted glimpse into their life together as they prepare to welcome another child. With quick-witted answers and an easy rapport with both Johar and Sidharth, Kiara made the Rapid Fire round an entertaining part of the episode.

Kartik Aaryan made sure his Bhai Dooj celebrations were not affected by his professional commitments this year. The actor marked the festival on Wednesday, November 11, by sharing a series of pictures with his sister, Dr. Kritika Tiwari, from his film set. Adding his characteristic humour to the occasion, Kartik joked about his sister making a special visit to ensure she received her festive gift. The Instagram carousel featured candid moments between the siblings, including selfies and pictures of Kritika performing the traditional Bhai Dooj rituals. Sharing the photographs, Kartik wrote, Shoot pe bhi gift lene aa gayi ?? Happy Bhai Dooj ?? The caption playfully suggested that while he was occupied with filming, his sister had made sure their annual tradition was observed in person. Bhai Dooj traditionally celebrates the bond between brothers and sisters, with sisters applying a ceremonial tilak and praying for their brothers well-being and longevity. The occasion is also marked by the exchange of gifts. Kritikas visit to the set allowed the siblings to continue their family tradition despite Kartiks shooting schedule. The post also prompted a playful exchange between the two in the comments section. Reacting to the pictures, Kritika wrote, I'm so happy you're back home! Kartik responded, Haan bhai aa gaya vaapas, keeping the sibling banter going. Their interaction added another personal touch to the festive update, which offered followers a glimpse into their equation away from the screen. View this post on Instagram A post shared by KARTIK AARYAN (@kartikaaryan) Kartik has often shared moments with his family on social media, particularly during occasions such as Raksha Bandhan and Bhai Dooj. His latest post once again highlighted the importance of these celebrations, even when work commitments keep him occupied. On the professional front, the actor has several projects lined up, including Captain India, Nagzilla and an untitled film with Sreeleela. His Bhai Dooj update comes amid his ongoing professional commitments, showing how the actor made time for a family tradition during a busy filming schedule.

The rapid fire round on the latest episode of Koffee With Karan Season 9 saw an interesting moment when Karan Johar asked Sidharth Malhotra about fellow actor Kartik Aaryan. During the segment, the filmmaker asked Sidharth what was one thing that Kartik had but he did not. Sidharth was quick with his response and said, Great PR budget that he has. The remark appeared to be a dig at the amount of attention Kartik receives in the media. What was noticeable was that Karan Johar did not react much to the comment and moved on without making a big deal out of it. Interestingly, one of Karan Johars upcoming productions Naagzilla stars Kartik in the lead. The exchange made for one of the more noticeable moments of the rapid fire round, with Sidharth's short response adding a touch of humour to the conversation. Kartik Aaryan has been a prominent name in the Hindi film industry in recent years, with several high-profile projects and a strong presence in the media. Sidharth, meanwhile, has carved out his own space with films across genres. The rapid fire round is among the most anticipated segments of Koffee With Karan, often producing candid answers, playful remarks and unexpected exchanges between guests.

Assam to get advanced healthcare innovation institute; Rs 546-crore project announced
Digital Desk | Guwahati, Nov 11 (IANS) Assam is set to establish a first-of-its-kind Advanced Healthcare Innovation Institute (AAHII), bringing doctors, engineers and scientists under one roof to develop affordable and indigenous healthcare technologies, Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said on Wednesday. Sharing details of the ambitious project on social media platform X, Sarma said the institute would focus on translating scientific research into practical medical solutions, including robotic surgical systems, affordable MRI scanners and insulin pumps manufactured in India. What happens when a surgeon and an engineer share a corridor? A robotic surgical arm. An MRI scanner small hospitals can afford. An insulin pump made in India, the Chief Minister said. The Assam Advanced Healthcare Innovation Institute, scheduled to open in December 2027, is already delivering on its larger vision of promoting innovation-driven healthcare solutions, he added. The Rs 546-crore project will comprise two interconnected facilities a dedicated Research and Development Building and a 410-bed multi-speciality postgraduate teaching and research hospital. According to details shared by the Chief Minister, the R&D facility will be a six-storeyed centre dedicated to research and thematic programmes. It will house specialised facilities for health-technology innovation and development and provide a collaborative ecosystem for the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Guwahati, clinicians and industry partners. The adjoining multi-speciality hospital will have 410 beds and offer postgraduate teaching and research facilities along with multi-speciality clinical care. The hospital is also expected to serve as a real-world setting for testing and validating new medical technologies developed through the institute. The initiative aims to bridge the gap between scientific discovery and medical application by encouraging closer collaboration between researchers, healthcare professionals and technology experts. With the proposed institute, Assam is seeking to strengthen its healthcare infrastructure while emerging as a hub for medical research and innovation in the Northeast. The project is expected to promote indigenous healthcare technology, potentially reducing dependence on expensive imported medical equipment and making advanced treatment solutions more accessible to smaller hospitals and patients. The AAHII, the Chief Minister said, represents a new frontier in healthcare innovation, bringing scientific discovery and medical applications closer together.

One of the most dildaar producers of Bollywood, Boney Kapoor, celebrates his 73rd birthday today, November 11. Bollywood Hungama has learned that a grand yet intimate birthday bash was held at his swanky residence in Mumbais Pali Hill last night and was attended by prominent Bollywood celebrities. A source told Bollywood Hungama, The party of Boney Kapoor was graced by Javed Akhtar, Shabana Azmi, Namit Kapoor, Dr Jayantilal Gada, Tutu Sharma, Padmini Kolhapure, Rajkumar Santoshi, Rumy Jafry, Aman Gill, Pawan Gill, Naresh Goyal, Niraj Sanghai (second in command after Namit Malhotra at Prime Focus and co-producer of Ramayana), etc. The source further said, Boney Kapoors children Arjun Kapoor, Janhvi Kapoor, Khushi Kapoor and Anshula Kapoor, as well as Anshulas husband, Rohan Thakkar, were also present in full force. Boney is a great host, as is widely known, and hence, all the attendees had a gala time. Boney, too, was happy to be in the company of his family and loved ones. The source continued, Anil Kapoor was away and hence couldnt make it. Surprisingly, Indra Kumar and Ashok Thakeria were also absent, possibly because they were out of town or tied up with other commitments. It has been an eventful year for Boney Kapoor. His daughter, Anshula, got married to Rohan Thakkar on July 6. In a heartfelt interview to Bombay Times the same month, Boney said, Anshula is a piece of my heart and seeing her so happy makes me feel fulfilled. Looking back at the celebrations, I think what has stayed with me the most are the smiling faces, the love that surrounded us, and the happiness everyone shared with us. Your daughter teaches you to be the best version of yourself. Seeing her begin this new chapter with Rohan was an emotional moment for all of us. As a father, you prepare yourself for this day, but when it finally arrives, you realize how special and overwhelming it truly is. As a family, we feel incredibly fortunate to have witnessed this beautiful beginning with the love and blessings of everyone around us. Watching Anshula begin this new chapter of her life was one of the most emotional moments I have experienced as a father. On the film front, Boney Kapoor is currently busy putting the finishing touches on Mom 2. Featuring Khushi Kapoor in the lead role, the film is expected to release in the first quarter of 2027.

He recalled how the village would be illuminated with diyas, creating a festive atmosphere that made the occasion particularly special for him. The actor also revealed that Diwali and Holi were the two festivals he eagerly waited for every year. People in my village would start preparing for Diwali weeks in advance, and it was always such a wonderful time. The entire village would light up with diyas, creating a beautiful festive atmosphere. I absolutely loved the energy and excitement that came with the celebrations. Diwali and Holi were two festivals I would eagerly look forward to every year, he said. For Nawazuddin, these recollections bring back memories of a time when festivals were occasions for entire communities to come together. From the preparations that began weeks before Diwali to the sight of houses and streets lit up with diyas, every aspect of the celebrations contributed to making the festival memorable. The actor's recollections offer a glimpse into his childhood and the traditions he grew up with.

Three-time Grammy Award winner and Padma Shri recipient Ricky Kej will receive the Srajan The Spark Lifetime Achievement Award in Udaipur on November 15, 2026. The honour comes from Srajan The Spark - a movement of music lovers dedicated to preserving Indias musical heritage. Headquartered in Udaipur, with 16 chapters in India and abroad, the movement was founded and is helmed by Prasanna K. Khamesra, a retired IPS officer. Kej will mark the occasion with The Earth Symphony, a free concert for environmental awareness that is expected to draw close to 10,000 people. It will be his first-ever public concert in Udaipur, and a homecoming for a musician whose father hails from Rajasthan. The evening will include songs on Rajasthan and his versions of folk songs from across India. With this award, Kej steps into a roll of honour that reads like a history of Indian music itself. Past recipients of Srajans Lifetime Achievement honour include Padmavibhushan Dr L Subramaniam, Padmabhushan Vishwamohan Bhatt, A Sivamani, Pt. Ronu Majumdar, Usha Mangeshkar, Anup Jalota, Roop Kumar Rathod, Sudesh Bhosle, the duo Anand-Milind, Anandji of Kalyan ji-Anandji, lyricist Yogesh, Sameer Anjan, poet and actor Shailesh Lodha among many others. It's absolutely amazing to be in that company, shared Kej. I am thrilled as this is an award from India, my country. And not only that, its an award in particular from Rajasthan, where my father hails from. Ricky Kej has brought great recognition to India and Rajasthan, not only through his music but through his extraordinary work for environmental conservation across the globe, said Khamesra. Srajan originated in Udaipur, and Ricky also has his roots in our state. We are immensely proud to honour him. Interestingly, Srajan was born in 2013 in Udaipur over a cup of tea, when Khamesra, a music lover since childhood, and some of his friends set out to bring Indias fading music, poetry and shayari back to the people. Khamesra has always believed that his professional responsibilities and personal passion could coexist, and through his years in the police, neither ever stood in the way of the other. What makes it rare is that it is entirely self-funded. Close to 1,500 industrialists and dignitaries who are proud members of Srajan the Spark contribute from their own pockets, purely for the love of Indian music. From Udaipur, it has grown to Jaipur, Jodhpur, Ahmedabad, Delhi NCR, Kota, Hyderabad, Asansol, Chennai, Canada and London, etc. The stage it has built is a treasure. Artists such as Anup Jalota, Pankaj Udhas, Suresh Wadekar, Usha Uthup, Nitin Mukesh and many others have performed at Srajan, as have poets such as Rahat Indori, Wasim Barelvi and Nida Fazli, etc. It also seeks out unsung artists and gives young talent a stage alongside the masters. The movement is now working towards establishing Srajan Music Schools across India, along with a Music Museum and Academy in Udaipur, where work is already underway. Kej shares that same commitment to Indias musical roots. No matter how hard I try to make a completely western piece of music, there will always be a soul of India within that music, said Kej. And, that soul is exactly what brings him and Srajan together. Kej has made it his mission over the next five to six years to document as many of Indias tribal songs and musicians as he can, building a permanent archive of musical forms passed down orally for thousands of years and now vanishing. Those songs, he said, carry indigenous knowledge about coexisting with nature and our place as human beings in the world. Art is all about breaking the rules, but you have to know the rules first in order to break them, he said. That's why its very important that these traditional forms of music are preserved. All other contemporary forms come from them. And in this regard, Srajan the Spark is doing fantastic work in keeping Indias classical and folk traditions alive. Ricky Kej will receive Hindustan Zinc-Srajan The Spark Lifetime Achievement Award on November 15 at DPS School, Udaipur, to be presented by Srajan - The Spark & Bijay Kumar Surana Foundation in collaboration with Hindustan Zinc Limited.
Huma Qureshi is set to return as Rani Bharti in the fifth season of Maharani, but this time, the actress is bringing a dramatic transformation to the screen. Sony LIV has unveiled Huma's striking bald avatar in the latest promotional material for the political drama, offering a glimpse into a darker and more intense chapter in the life of the former Bihar Chief Minister. The unexpected makeover has also sparked curiosity about the circumstances that lead Rani Bharti to embrace this new appearance. The critically acclaimed franchise is set to premiere exclusively on Sony LIV in February 2027. While the makers have kept the exact release date under wraps, the newly released promo hints at a significant shift in the narrative. Moving beyond the political power struggles and statecraft that have defined Rani's journey so far, Maharani Season 5 will explore her pursuit of personal vengeance following the brutal murder of her son, Jai. Speaking about the transformation and what it meant for her portrayal of Rani Bharti, Huma revealed that the upcoming season required her to attempt something she had never done before. She said, This season demanded something that I have never attempted before. Embracing a bald look pushed the boundaries for me as an actor. I was nervous but equally excited. In many ways it gave me deeper insight into who Rani Bharti really is. I have personally always been drawn to characters who are layered and not confined by conventional definitions of right or wrong. It is not often that you get offered a character like Rani Bharti, who constantly challenges the norm, and yet finds the strength to carve her own path ahead. She is one of those characters who has consistently challenged me as an artist, and that is precisely what keeps me excited about playing her with every new season. I am happy that I was able to go this extra mile and that the creators were able to trust me in this direction to bring the character to life. Over the course of four seasons, Rani Bharti has evolved from an unlikely political entrant into a formidable figure who has repeatedly challenged established power structures. Her journey has been marked by personal sacrifices, political confrontations and difficult decisions. The fifth season appears poised to explore another side of the character, as her personal loss becomes central to the story. Created by Subhash Kapoor, Maharani Season 5 is directed by Puneet Prakash and produced by Naren Kumar and Dimple Kharbanda under the banner of Kangra Talkies. With Huma reprising what has become one of her most recognised roles, the upcoming instalment promises to bring together political intrigue and an intensely personal battle for justice and retribution. Maharani Season 5 will premiere exclusively on Sony LIV in February 2027.
