Avantika Dassani on her bond with mother Bhagyashree: I stand besides her as she always has
Avantika Dassani recently shared a glimpse of her Ganesh poojan in Sangli with her mother, actress Bhagyashree. The occasion also became a moment for Avantika to reflect on the bond she shares with her Aai and the role her mother continues to play in her life. Sharing a picture from the poojan, Avantika spoke about standing by her mother while acknowledging the guidance and strength she has received from her over the years. She wrote, I stand besides her, and as she always has, she continues to teach me: With the strength, grace and blessings of Ganeshji (And for me, my Aai) we will always be on our way forward. Avantikas note highlights the relationship between the two, particularly the way their roles can evolve as a mother and daughter grow together. While Bhagyashree has been a source of guidance for Avantika, the actress also emphasised her own presence beside her mother. The Ganesh poojan in Sangli thus offered a glimpse into their personal bond away from their professional commitments. Avantikas message focused on the values she associates with her mother, including strength, grace and the blessings of Ganeshji. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Avantika (@avantikadassani) Mother-daughter relationships often evolve as daughters grow older, with the equation moving beyond a traditional parent-child dynamic. The guidance received during childhood can gradually become a two-way relationship, with daughters also becoming a source of support for their mothers. For Avantika, that sentiment appears to be reflected in her choice of words. By saying that she stands besides Bhagyashree, she acknowledged the support her mother has extended to her while expressing her intention to be there for her in return. The moment from Sangli also comes as a personal reflection from Avantika on what her mother means to her. Rather than focusing on their public profiles, her post centred on their relationship and the influence Bhagyashree has had on her. Through the picture and accompanying note, Avantika offered a glimpse into the bond she shares with Bhagyashree, with Ganeshjis blessings forming the backdrop to her message about continuing to move forward together.

Kartik Aaryan reached a significant milestone in his career as he received the Best Actor in a Leading Role National Award for Chandu Champion at the 72nd National Film Awards ceremony. President Droupadi Murmu presented the honour to the actor and also acknowledged his portrayal of Paralympic champion Murlikant Petkar. Kartik shared the award with Malayalam actor Mammootty, who was recognised for his performance in Bramayugam. During the ceremony, President Murmu highlighted the importance of bringing the stories of notable personalities to cinema and specifically referred to Petkars journey from soldier to Paralympic champion. She said, I believe making biopics on such personalities is a highly commendable effort. A soldier, Shri Murlikant Petkar, who dreamt of becoming famous in the world of sports since childhood, was injured during the 1965 war. Despite this, with his courage and determination, he went on to become Indias first para-athlete to win a gold medal at the Paralympics in 1972. He was honoured with the Padma Shri in 2018, and I congratulate Kartik Aaryan for bringing his personality to life through his performance. Directed by Kabir Khan, Chandu Champion is a biographical sports drama based on the life of Murlikant Petkar, who represented India in swimming at the 1972 Paralympics. Kartik plays the titular character, with Vijay Raaz, Bhuvan Arora, Yashpal Sharma and Rajpal Yadav among the supporting cast. The film follows Petkars journey across different stages of his life and sporting career, portraying his experiences as a soldier and athlete. It was written by Kabir Khan, Sumit Arora and Sudipto Sarkar, and produced by Sajid Nadiadwala, Kabir Khan and Firuzi Khan. Chandu Champion released theatrically on June 14, 2024. Kartiks National Award recognition comes for a performance that required him to portray Petkar across different phases of his life. The actor underwent a physical transformation for the role as the film depicted the athletes sporting journey and personal struggles. The 72nd National Film Awards recognised films and performances from 2024, with Article 370 winning Best Feature Film and Yami Gautam receiving Best Actress in a Leading Role for the same film. For Kartik, the honour adds a major recognition to Chandu Champion and marks his first National Award for acting, with the award ceremony bringing together performers and filmmakers from across Indian cinema.

She recalled having an instinct that encouraged her to take the leap and explore a career in the industry. Bollywood does music, dance and cinema all in one, this makes so much sense. I grew up watching so many Bollywood films, but I had some feeling inside that pushed me and then the rest is history. Somewhere I feel like you have to be fearless. I knew I wanted to become famous and do cinema and find a way to mix dancing with cinema and do all of that, Bollywood essentially, she shared. Reflecting on her approach after returning to India, Nora said she became focused on building her career and learning the language while attending auditions. She also stressed the importance of staying connected to her personal values while pursuing her ambitions. She said, I came back with a different energy. It was like a go-getter energy. No social life, no friends, no going out. You need to make sure you learn the language and audition, audition, audition. And the one thing that I maintained because it was so important was to maintain my values. My values, my integrity all the way through. She further added, Pursue your dreams, pursue your passion but dont let go of your values and integrity.

Divyenndu, best remembered by many fans as Liquid from Pyaar Ka Punchnama, and Ishita Raj, who made her Bollywood debut with the same franchise, have extended their wishes to the team of the upcoming film. Divyenndu recently shared the trailer of Pehla Pyaar Doosri Baar on Instagram and used the occasion to make a playful reference to his much-loved character from Pyaar Ka Punchnama. Welcoming the new film and its cast, the actor wrote, Kuch pehle jaisa laga kya?? Lekin yeh woh hai nahin.. Toh aaieye hum sab aur specially Liquid ki taraf se welcome karte hain!! All the best to the team of Pehla Pyaar Doosri Baar @sparshwaliaa @alishachopra1 @kuunnnaaalllll @_vaidyasakshi @tusharchhibber @sargun_kaur.luthra @anujpsaini @luv_films View this post on Instagram A post shared by Divyenndu (@divyenndu) Ishita Raj celebrates Luv Ranjan and six newcomers Ishita Raj, who also made her Bollywood debut with Luv Ranjans Pyaar Ka Punchnama, shared her excitement over the new film and the launch of its six newcomers. Reacting to the trailer on social media, the actor congratulated Luv Ranjan, producer Gaurav Anand and the team while highlighting the nostalgic feeling the trailer evoked. Ishita wrote, Finallyyy, its here! And this trailer looks like an absolute blast. Took me straight back in time major nostalgia . Congrats to @luv_films, @gargankur82 and @kuunnnaaallll.

Rajesh Tailang is set to return as Sanjay Kataria in the second season of Bakaiti. While the first season introduced audiences to the dynamics of the Kataria family and the everyday conflicts that shaped their relationships, Season 2 takes Sanjays character into a more vulnerable space. Speaking about Sanjays journey in the new season, Rajesh Tailang said the character has become more accepting of his vulnerabilities. He explained that Sanjay initially viewed opening up about his problems as a sign of weakness, particularly as the head of his family. In this season, Sanjay has accepted his vulnerabilities much more than he did in the first season. As the head of a family, he often felt that sharing his problems with his wife, children, or family was a sign of weakness. But over the course of Season 2, he has grown to understand that being vulnerable is not a weakness. For me, Sanjay's biggest change is his acceptance of his own vulnerabilities and his ability to express them, the actor said. Rajesh Tailang on reuniting with the Kataria family The actor also opened up about returning to the set with the entire Kataria family. While the characters are frequently caught up in arguments and disagreements in the series, Tailang said the atmosphere behind the scenes was very different. The entire Kataria family was together in Season 1 as well, so we already had a lot of fun together. Of course, on the show, the family is constantly fighting and getting into all kinds of situations, but being together on set is a completely different experience. We had a great time shooting together, with a lot of laughter and fun behind the scenes. In fact, we probably had far fewer fights on set than the Katarias do in the series! he said. Sanjay and Buntys father-son dynamic One of the important aspects of Sanjays journey in Season 2 is his relationship with his son Bunty. According to Tailang, the conflicts between the father and son also allow Sanjay to reflect on his own approach to parenting. Bunty does a few things this season that can definitely hurt a fathers ego. But Sanjay makes a conscious effort to understand both himself and the problems his son is going through, rather than simply reacting to him. As a parent, that is something I have taken away from the character: instead of immediately blaming or judging a child, it is important to first understand what they may be going through, Tailang said. The actor also revealed that his own experience as a father helped him connect with Buntys phase of life. My son is also almost the same age as Bunty, so I understand the kind of challenges children face at this age. In a way, Rajesh helps Sanjay become a better father, and Sanjay helps Rajesh become a better father too, he added. Rajesh Tailang on exploring a different side of Sanjay For Tailang, Season 2 also brought the opportunity to explore aspects of Sanjay that had not been explored as deeply earlier. The actor described the experience as both exciting and challenging, particularly because the character enters a different phase of his life. As an actor, playing Sanjay this season was both fun and a little scary at the same time. There were new layers to explore in the character, and Sanjay experiences a completely different side of his life this season. Discovering that hidden side of him and bringing it to the screen was what made the experience particularly interesting for me, he said. With Sanjays emotional journey taking a more introspective turn, Bakaiti Season 2 appears set to explore the Kataria family beyond their familiar arguments and everyday chaos. For Tailang, the new season has also offered an opportunity to examine vulnerability, parenthood and the ways family members learn to understand one another.

Actor Ayushmann Khurrana has sponsored a rifle for Indian shooter Meghana Sajjanar after learning about the athletes difficulties in accessing suitable sporting equipment. According to Sajjanar, Khurrana came across an article about her journey and decided to extend support despite not knowing her personally. Sajjanar, who competes in rifle shooting, was looking to progress to the international level when access to suitable equipment became a challenge. The support from Khurrana enabled her to acquire the equipment she needed for training and competition. The shooter recently met Khurrana and shared details of their interaction on social media. Recalling how the actor came to her aid, Meghana wrote, In our sport, precision is everything but so is the gear in your hands. A year ago, I was pushing my limits but hitting a wall without world class equipment. Then, a single news article changed everything. Ayushmann Khurrana read about my journey and stepped in out of nowhere to sponsor my rifle. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Meghana Sajjanar (@meghana__sajjanar) He didn't know me. We had never met. He just wanted to see an Indian athlete win on the global stage. That rifle leveled the playing field for me, allowing me to train without compromise, take on the best in the world, and achieve what I have today. Today, I finally got to meet the man who quietly backed my dreams when I needed it most. No noise, just pure support for Indian sports. Thank you for being in my corner. Jai Hind!, she added. In competitive shooting, equipment forms an important part of an athletes training and competition setup. For Sajjanar, the rifle sponsorship came as she was working towards competing at the international level. The gesture also comes amid Khurranas broader association with sports-related initiatives. In May 2026, the actor attended Commonwealth Games Day celebrations in Ahmedabad alongside Union Sports Minister Mansukh Mandaviya and Gujarat Deputy Chief Minister Harsh Sanghvi. The event was held as part of the build-up to the 2030 Commonwealth Games, which India is set to host. Khurrana also participated in a five-kilometre cycling rally at the event and spoke about encouraging a sporting culture among young Indians. Olympians and former Commonwealth Games medallists, including shooters Anjum Moudgil and Ankur Mittal, were also present. His latest association with Sajjanar comes through a more direct form of support, with the actor sponsoring equipment that the shooter says helped her continue her preparations for international competition.

Sonali Bendre introduces Pashya in Sohla first poster
Sonali Bendre has unveiled the first poster of Sohla, marking her first outing as a film presenter. The poster introduces Pashya, a 13-year-old boy who is at the centre of a story about family, hope and the choices that shape one's life. The film is scheduled to release theatrically on October 16, 2026. Sohla, which means celebration, refers to a coming-of-age ceremony that holds significance in a young boy's life. The ritual is celebrated with family and close ones and marks the occasion when a boy wears his father's chappals for the first time. The act symbolises his transition from childhood towards manhood. For Pashya, the ceremony is something he looks forward to. The occasion brings with it new clothes, blessings, sweets, laughter and a family visit to the village temple. Wearing his father's chappals for the first time marks an important moment in his life. However, things take an unexpected turn before he is ready, leading him to make choices that shape what follows. Speaking about coming on board as the presenter of Sohla, Sonali Bendre said, I have been asked over the years to lend my name to many things. I have said yes very rarely. Sohla is one of those very rare yeses. Because this is not a film I watched and forgot. It is a film that stayed with me the way a book that quietly changes you stays with you. And I realised that instinct, the wanting to share it with more people, is what presenting a film really means. I am not presenting Sohla as an actor. I am presenting it as someone who believes in the film and in the story Saaikat has created. Director Saaikat Bagbaan added, Sohla is a celebration of childhood, friendship, family, and the little moments that become part of who we are. Pashya is at the centre of that world, and seeing him take his first step towards audiences through this poster is incredibly special for me. Every filmmaker hopes to find collaborators who believe in the story the way the maker does. To have Rose Audio Visuals and Sonali Bendre present my first feature film gives this journey an incredible sense of encouragement. I cannot wait for audiences to experience Sohla in cinemas on 16 October. Sohla is presented by Sonali Bendre and directed by Saaikat Bagbaan. The film is produced by Goldie Behl under Rose Audio Visuals, along with Sachin Srivastav, Ratna Srivastava and Kavita Bagban under Carryon Fiilms. The cast includes Pravin Dalimbkar, Devdatta Prashant Gone, Varsha Malwadkar, Vaishnavi Sanjay Ghodke and Alessandra Whelan Merediz. Cinepolis is handling the film's all-India theatrical distribution. Also Read : Sonali Bendre turns presenter with Marathi film Sohla, set for October 16 release
