Deepika Padukone is IRREPLACEABLE; I LOVE Sandeep Reddy Vanga; Salman Khan, Akshay Kumar are musically conscious Himesh Reshammiya

Himesh Reshammiya recently had a conversation with Komal Nahta and gave some headline-worthy replies during the Rapid Fire round. He was asked to name three musically inclined producers. Himesh replied, Mr Bhushan Kumar, the Taurani brothers (Ramesh Taurani and Kumar Taurani) and Ratan Jain. They have deep knowledge. Incidentally, all three are associated with leading music companies. Bhushan Kumar heads T-Series, the Taurani brothers own Tips, while Ratan Jain heads Venus. Himesh Reshammiya was then asked to name heroes who are musically conscious. He replied, Of course, Salman Khan for sure. Hes very, very conscious and 100% Mr Akshay Kumar too. Interestingly, the music video of the song Naam Hai Tera from Himesh Reshammiyas blockbuster album Aap Kaa Surroor featured Deepika Padukone. This was before she made her blockbuster Bollywood debut in Om Shanti Om (2007). Himesh was asked whom he would cast in Deepikas place if the song were to be made today. Himesh Reshammiya explained, Deepika is irreplaceable. Even then, we knew that she was going to be a superstar. A lot of people say that she started her career by featuring in my music video. But we gave breaks to many other girls. Lekin woh Deepika nahin bani. Uske banne ya na banne mein mera koi haath nahin hai. Finally, Himesh Reshammiya was asked to choose between Mohit Suri, Aditya Dhar and Sandeep Reddy Vanga as the director he would like to collaborate with as a music composer. Without a moments hesitation, he replied, 110%, Ill choose Sandeep Reddy Vanga. I love him! Hes too good (smiles).

Following the news, several Bollywood personalities and colleagues took to social media to express their grief and remember the director, whose distinct visual style and contribution to crime thrillers earned him a place in Hindi cinema.

Actors Kajol, Raveena Tandon, Dia Mirza, Manisha Koirala, and Anupam Kher also mourned his loss, remembering a passionate storyteller with a distinctive cinematic vision.

You had many more films and many years to go. Prayers and strength to the family. kunal kohli (@kunalkohli) October 31, 2026 Will always miss you, Sanjay bhai. The memories of our time together on the sets will always stay close to my heart. https://t.co/elnUQqDBaH sonu sood (@SonuSood) October 31, 2026 Deeply saddened and shocked by the untimely demise of Sanjay Gupta Sir, a powerhouse filmmaker we all loved and respected. Gone far too soon. My heartfelt condolences to his family and loved ones. Om Shanti. https://t.co/zQjgK021EM Neil Nitin Mukesh (@NeilNMukesh) October 31, 2026 Dia Mirza went on to add a long post for the filmmaker which read, He is so alive in my memories today. Its difficult to comprehend that he is no longer with us. Sanjay Gupta was a passionate filmmaker, an encyclopaedia of cinema, one of the most well-read, effortlessly stylish and deeply knowledgeable filmmakers I have known. I had the privilege of working with him on Dus Kahaniyaan, Shootout at Lokhandwala, Acid Factory, and another very special film inspired by the book Tuesdays with Morrie, which sadly never saw the light of day. I remember his extraordinary knowledge of cinema, his passion for storytelling and the sheer joy with which he spoke about films. But perhaps one of his greatest legacies will be the opportunities he created for so many young and emerging filmmakers. He believed in giving new voices a chance to tell their stories. Many of those he encouraged and empowered have gone on to become celebrated filmmakers themselves. What a beautiful legacy to leave behind. To not just tell stories, but to make it possible for so many others to tell theirs. The news of his passing has left us all shaken. How does one reconcile the memory of someone so vividly alive with the knowledge that they are suddenly gone? My heart goes out to Anu, their children, his family and everyone who loved him. May God give them the strength to bear this unimaginable loss. Rest in peace, Sanjay. Your stories, your generosity and the lives you touched will continue to carry a part of you forward. Om Shanti. Gupta was known for films such as Aatish: Feel the Fire, Kaante and the Shootout series, which helped establish his signature approach to crime dramas and stylised storytelling. His work left a distinct mark on the genre, with his films continuing to be remembered by audiences and industry colleagues alike. As the film fraternity comes together to mourn his passing, the tributes reflect not only on his body of work but also on the personal connections he built over the years.

Pratik Gandhi, Maniesh Paul, Sameera Reddy and Atul Khatri explore Singapore with their families in new JioHotstar travel series

Pratik Gandhi, Maniesh Paul, Sameera Reddy and Atul Khatri are set to take viewers on a family holiday through Singapore with The Great Indian Family Holiday: Singapore Edition. Created by the Singapore Tourism Board (STB), the four-episode travel series began streaming exclusively on JioHotstar on October 31, 2026. It follows the four celebrities and their families as they explore the destination through a range of activities and experiences. The series features Pratik Gandhi travelling with three generations of his family, Maniesh Paul exploring the city with his children, Sameera Reddy enjoying the trip with her husband Akshai Varde and their family, and comedian Atul Khatri discovering Singapores food scene alongside his family. Across the episodes, the families visit attractions and locations including HyperDrive, Chinatown, Mandai Rainforest Adventure, Singapore Oceanarium and the Peranakan Museum. Their itinerary also features Wings of Time in Sentosa, alongside experiences involving wildlife, adventure activities and local cuisine. Commenting on the initiative, Serene Woon, Area Director, India, Middle East and South Asia, Singapore Tourism Board, said, Indian families don't just want a holiday - they want moments they'll still be talking about years later. Singapore is that kind of place. It's a city that surprises you, where three generations can each find something that feels made just for them, yet also come together over experiences that bring the whole family closer. Through this series, we wanted to show that side of Singapore - not through a brochure, but through real families, real moments and the kind of joy that simply can't be scripted. If even one family watches this and thinks, 'that could be us', we've done our job. The participating celebrities also spoke about their experiences during the trip. Pratik Gandhi said, As a family, we don't often get the chance to experience so many new things together, especially across three generations. In Singapore, seeing everyone from the oldest to the youngest enjoy themselves in their own way was probably the most special part for me. There were so many firsts, and I think that's what made this trip different. The bee experience and the Circle of Trust really stayed with me. I didn't expect these to be the moments I'd keep thinking about, but they gave me a chance to pause and reflect, and we're still talking about them. To be able to share these experiences with my family, the people I'm closest to, made them even more meaningful. I think we've come back with something really precious: memories that all of us, across generations, will carry with us for the rest of our lives. Maniesh Paul and his wife Sanyukta Paul highlighted the mix of adventure and family time, saying, As parents, we're always aware of how quickly the kids are growing up, which makes time like this together even more precious. Singapore gave us the best of both worlds, from adrenaline-filled adventures at HyperDrive and Universal Studios Singapore to quieter moments surrounded by nature and wildlife at Mandai Wildlife Reserve. We got to try new things, step out of our routines and see the world through the kids' eyes. Watching their excitement and being part of these experiences with them is something we'll always treasure. Sameera Reddy and Akshai Varde spoke about attractions including MegaZip, Harry Potter: Visions of Magic and Night Safari, while Atul Khatri recalled the familys food discoveries in Chinatown and other experiences during the holiday. Alongside the series, STB has partnered with travel platform Cleartrip to offer curated Singapore holiday packages, including itineraries inspired by the families featured in the show. The packages are intended to help viewers plan similar trips. The Great Indian Family Holiday: Singapore Edition is streaming exclusively on JioHotstar from October 31, 2026.

Alia Bhatt celebrates Halloween with Tumbbads iconic Hastar mask, sparks excitement around Tumbbad 2

Alia Bhatt brought a touch of Indian folklore horror to her Halloween celebrations this year by posing with the iconic mask of Hastar from Tumbbad. The actor shared a picture of herself with the mask on social media, accompanying it with the caption, Happy Halloween and the hashtag #HastarForHalloween. Her post has caught the attention of fans, with many drawing a connection between the festive moment and the growing anticipation around Tumbbad 2. Released in 2018, Tumbbad gradually developed a strong following for its distinctive blend of folklore, horror and fantasy. Directed by Rahi Anil Barve, the film followed Vinayak Raos obsession with wealth and his encounters with Hastar, a mythical entity associated with a cursed treasure. Its atmospheric storytelling and visual treatment helped it acquire cult status over the years. The film returned to theatres in 2024, finding a fresh audience and recording a notable box-office performance during its re-release. Its renewed popularity also brought greater attention to the possibility of expanding the world of Tumbbad, with the sequel now among the projects generating curiosity among fans of the original. Tumbbad 2 is being produced under the banner of Sohum Shah Films, with Sohum Shah returning to headline the franchise. The upcoming period mythological horror drama is expected to build on the world established in the first film, with the story reportedly moving beyond Vinayak Raos pursuit of gold and exploring themes surrounding immortality and ancient supernatural forces. The sequel is also expected to feature an expanded ensemble cast and a larger scale, while continuing to draw from Indian folklore. The narrative is said to carry forward the legacy of Vinayaks son, Pandurang, taking the story into another chapter of the cursed village and its mysteries. With the original films re-release introducing its unsettling world to more viewers, Tumbbad 2 is being positioned as the next instalment in the franchise. The sequel is currently targeting a worldwide theatrical release in 2027. Alias Halloween post has offered fans another reminder of the films enduring imagery, particularly the unsettling presence of Hastar.

Jiya Shankar addresses breakup rumours with fianc Kaaran Dhanak; says Some things are private

Actress Jiya Shankar has addressed the speculation surrounding her relationship with fianc Kaaran Dhanak, requesting people to respect her privacy amid rumours of an alleged breakup. The Bigg Boss OTT 2 contestant took to social media to clarify that assumptions about her personal life had gone beyond what she had shared publicly. However, she stopped short of confirming or denying reports that the engagement had been called off. In a statement shared on her social media account, Jiya wrote, I'd like to clarify something. Recent assumptions about my personal life have gone far beyond what I've actually shared. Please don't speculate about or spread rumours regarding my relationship. Some things are private, and I'd appreciate everyone respecting that. Her statement comes after online discussions about a possible rift between the actress and Kaaran gathered momentum. Social media users had reportedly noticed that Jiya was no longer following Kaaran on Instagram, prompting questions about the status of their relationship. The speculation intensified after the actress reshared several cryptic posts and videos touching upon heartbreak, emotional resilience and difficult experiences. Among the messages that caught the attention of followers were, Two things I know for sure: prayers work, and tables eventually turn and Some nights I don't want healing. I want the universe to admit that what happened was cruel. These posts led to further discussions among fans, with many attempting to connect them to the rumours surrounding the couple. Jiya has now asked people not to draw conclusions about her personal life based on assumptions. The speculation comes around three months after Jiya and Kaaran announced their engagement in August 2026. The actress had shared photographs from an intimate sunset proposal, in which Kaaran was seen getting down on one knee with a solitaire diamond ring. The announcement had received considerable attention from her followers. While Jiya has now issued a statement asking for privacy, she has not disclosed any further details about the relationship. Kaaran Dhanak, meanwhile, has not made a public statement on the ongoing speculation so far. For now, the actress's message makes it clear that she does not wish to discuss the matter publicly.
