Bigg Boss 20 Week 4 has had its share of fights, nominations, task drama and shifting equations, but the overall energy inside the house has remained relatively subdued. With Friday set for the Weekend Ka Vaar shoot, there are several issues from the week that deserve to be put under the spotlight. From Love Gills increasingly complicated group dynamics to Gullus captaincy and Qazi Touqeers growing disconnect with his own allies, here are four things Salman Khan should address. 1. Love Gill needs to STOP playing peacemaker at her own expense Love Gills biggest problem right now may not be her game, but her tendency to constantly keep the peace within her group. Across the past few weeks, Love has repeatedly found herself apologising to her friends and group members after confrontations. One of the earliest examples came after Yung DSA lost his life, with the group suspecting that Gullu had played a role in the decision. At the same time, Gullus equation with Love, including their flirting, appeared to create discomfort among some members of the group. Aamrapali Dubey subsequently confronted Love over the situation. While Love initially stood her ground, she eventually apologised to Aamrapali. View this post on Instagram A post shared by JioHotstar Reality (@jiohotstarreality) A similar pattern emerged when Aasif Khan expressed his frustration over Love seemingly prioritising Scout OP and Yung DSA and relying more heavily on their opinions. The latest incident involving Yung was even more telling. After Love danced on Gullus bed, Yung made a comment that she found inappropriate. Love confronted him, but the situation escalated, with Aamrapali also getting involved. Love eventually apologised to Yung. The most interesting part is that Love herself has admitted to Aasif that she does not feel she can completely be herself within the group. That is precisely where Salman could ask her to take a step back and assess her game. Being diplomatic is one thing, but constantly trying to keep everyone happy can prevent a contestant from establishing an individual identity. Love has shown that she can stand her ground. The question is whether she will continue doing so when it comes at the cost of keeping her group happy. 2. Gullu needs to move beyond the safety net of captaincy Kushal Tanwar, aka Gullu, entered the Bigg Boss house with expectations attached to him. As a winner of MTV Roadies XX: Double Cross, he already had a reality-show history built around tasks, strategy and confrontations. Yet, three weeks into Bigg Boss 20, his contribution to the central drama has often felt quieter than expected. His biggest advantage has been his position as captain. Gullu has managed to keep himself safe for two consecutive weeks, but that also means his game has not been tested in the same way as several other contestants. Salman had already questioned Gullu during the previous Weekend Ka Vaar after he failed to take a strong stand while serving as sanchalak during the diss battle. Bigg Boss also took a dig at him over his relatively passive approach. This week, Gullu became captaincy contender again, but even his leadership came under scrutiny. During the housemates' rose-based assessment of his captaincy, several contestants criticised him for being careless, people-pleasing and insufficiently strict. The messy-house footage shown by Bigg Boss further added to the criticism. View this post on Instagram A post shared by JioHotstar Reality (@jiohotstarreality) Salman does not necessarily need to question Gullu simply because he has not been involved in every fight. Instead, the bigger question is whether he is using his position to actively shape the game. If Gullu wants to establish himself beyond the captain's badge, this could be the week to ask him to take more decisions, drive tasks and take clear positions instead of relying on safety. 3. The entire house needs a wake-up call If there is one larger issue Salman should address, it is the overall energy of the house. Week 4 has had individual incidents, but very few moments have managed to sustain momentum. The ration and captaincy task created some conflict, the Love-Yung argument added another layer to the group dynamics and Qazi's remarks sparked a confrontation with Kanika. Beyond these moments, however, the house has often felt quieter than it should at this stage of the season. That is where a larger Weekend Ka Vaar intervention could help. Kanika Mann, in particular, is an interesting case. She has had strong opinions on several issues and has not shied away from calling out behaviour she disagrees with. Her objection to Qazi's use of the word lollipop during their interaction was one example. However, she has also frequently chosen to discuss her frustrations with the cameras rather than directly with the person involved. View this post on Instagram A post shared by JioHotstar Reality (@jiohotstarreality) The latest confrontation with Qazi showed that Kanika is capable of taking the issue directly to the person concerned. That side of her game could potentially be more impactful than repeatedly discussing the same concerns privately. The same applies to the rest of the house. At this point, the contestants need to realise that simply reacting to one another is not enough. They need to actively play the game. 4. Qazi Touqeer needs to realise what is happening within his own group Qazi Touqeer has been involved in several conversations and confrontations this week, but there is another aspect of his game that could make for an interesting Weekend Ka Vaar discussion. While Qazi appears to be comfortable with his group, some of the people around him have also been critical of him behind his back. His recent clash with Kanika over the lollipop remark is already one issue Salman could revisit. Kanika had objected to the word earlier, and the matter eventually became a direct confrontation. But beyond that incident, Qazi could benefit from being made aware of how some of his own group members perceive him when he is not around. The purpose would not simply be to create another fight. Instead, it could force Qazi to reassess his equations and understand whether the people he considers allies view the relationship in the same way. That could also test how Qazi handles uncomfortable information when it comes directly from Salman rather than through another contestant. This Weekend Ka Vaar needs to shake things up Week 4 has not been completely devoid of drama. There have been nominations, ration cuts, captaincy politics, personal clashes and questions around individual gameplay. However, the bigger issue is that very few contestants have managed to consistently drive the narrative. That makes this Weekend Ka Vaar particularly important. Love needs to examine whether keeping her group happy is coming at the cost of her individual game. Gullu needs to prove that his captaincy is more than a route to safety. Kanika needs to take her opinions directly to the people involved, while Qazi may need to look more closely at the equations within his own group. If Salman addresses these issues, the focus can move beyond simply revisiting isolated fights and towards the larger question of how each contestant intends to play Bigg Boss 20 from here.

Samantha Ruth Prabhu wins legal protection against deepfakes

Vedika Pinto says the response to Musafir Cafe has brought a change in how the industry perceives her as an actor. Playing Sudha in the series, Vedika has received appreciation from viewers for her performance, adding another phase to her career after the critical recognition she earned for Nishaanchi. Talking about the change in perception, Vedika says, I felt a shift after Nishaanchi, and that was in the form of the industry seeing me as a serious actor. Working with Anurag Kashyap gave me that. The film didnt do well commercially, but it was quite critically acclaimed. But that, unfortunately, was still not enough to make them bet on me. Musafir Cafe has given me audience approval. The industry now looks at me as a good actor who is also liked by the audience, which, I guess, makes me a more interesting option for makers. Now, I am being welcomed very warmly into production houses and I am meeting producers and directors. For the first time in my career, I have options for scripts, which is really everything that I wanted. For Vedika, the response to Sudha has added to the recognition she has received for her acting. The character has found a connect with viewers, while the appreciation for her performance has brought her increased visibility and opportunities. The actors journey so far has seen her move from critical recognition with Nishaanchi to receiving a wider audience response with Musafir Cafe. According to Vedika, the combination of critical appreciation and audience acceptance has also opened up more opportunities for her.

Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah: Taaraks food plan takes an unexpected turn as Anjali bhabhi appears
Tonights episode of Asit Kumarr Modis Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah will see Taarak Mehta, Jethalal and Ratan together in the Gokuldham compound. During their conversation, Taarak introduces Ratan to a popular food shop located near Jethalals Gada Electronics. He describes the shops samosas, kachoris and bhel, which leaves Ratan keen to try the food. As the conversation continues, Jethalal suddenly screams, Anjali Bhabhi! Taarak and Ratan are taken by surprise, only to discover that Jethalal was joking. Taarak then announces that they will visit the food shop the following day and enjoy the snacks together. However, things take an unexpected turn when Anjali actually steps out of her house and ends up standing behind Taarak. Ratan and Jethalal immediately notice her presence. Jethalal tries to signal Taarak and make him understand that Anjali is really standing there. Taarak, however, assumes that Jethalal is once again trying to fool him. He ignores Jethalals signals and even teases him for getting scared. The situation leaves Jethalal struggling to make Taarak understand what is happening. Will Taarak realise that Jethalal is telling the truth this time? What will happen when he finally turns around and sees Anjali standing behind him? More importantly, will Taarak, Jethalal and Ratans food outing go ahead as planned? The upcoming episode promises another comic situation involving the Gokuldham residents.

They are two very different films. The way Abhishek and the writers have worked so hard on the script for the past maybe two years that it really really gives you a high. The way it has shaped up the scripting and the way Abhishek has made the film, I think it has come out fabulous. That's when we decided that it should be the conclusion. His words suggest that the strength of the script played a key role in the decision to bring the franchise to a close.

Some runway moments are about the clothes. Others are about the story stitched into them. Alia Bhatt's turn at the Mijwan charity fashion show managed both. The show celebrated 15 years of collaboration between couturier Manish Malhotra and the Mijwan Welfare Society, spearheaded by Shabana Azmi, and brought cinematic glamour together with grassroots artistry to empower female artisans from rural India. From the first pencil strokes on Malhotra's sketchpad to the glare of the runway lights, Alia's outfit was an ode to timeless romance. She walked the ramp in a custom ivory georgette saree, paired with a flowing organza veil that trailed behind her with every step. Weeks of behind-the-scenes work went into the ensemble, which showcased fine Chikankari needlework, tonal thread accents and a soft luminescence. Styled by the sartorial duo Rhea Kapoor and Sanya Kapoor, the look leaned into regal minimalism. A pleated micro-corset blouse anchored the drapes, leaving the veil's scalloped borders and delicate lace motifs to take centre stage. Manish Malhotra's official Instagram page shared behind-the-scenes photos, captioned: From the sketch to the runway, Alia Bhatt (@aliaabhatt) in our ivory georgette saree and flowing organza veil. View this post on Instagram A post shared by MANISH MALHOTRA (@manishmalhotraworld) The opulence peaked with pieces from Manish Malhotra Jewellery. As the caption stated, Alia wore a heirloom choker set with uncut diamonds and strung with over 310 carats of cascading pearls. She completed the look with an understated maang tikka, delicate earrings and ornate haathphools that shimmered under the spotlights. The atmosphere was shaped by the evocative soundscapes of electronic duo Lost Stories, which turned the charity runway into what felt like a living gallery of craft and purpose. The show was supported by Manta Goyal and presented by L'Oral. With its bridal-inspired spirit, Alia's walk was more than a fashion statement. It served as a tribute to artisanal legacy, empowerment and fifteen years of purposeful couture.

Abhay Jodhpurkar on winning National Award for best male playback singer, It feels like a dream
Singer Abhay Jodhpurkar has received the National Film Award for Best Male Playback Singer for his Marathi song Navasachi Gauri Mazi from Gharat Ganpati at the 72nd National Film Awards. The ceremony was held at Ekta Nagar, Gujarat, where President Droupadi Murmu presented the Rajat Kamal to this years winners. The event marked the first time in more than seven decades that the National Film Awards ceremony was held outside Delhi. For Jodhpurkar, the recognition holds personal significance as Navasachi Gauri Mazi is rooted in the Gauri-Ganpati tradition that he has grown up celebrating with his family. Receiving the honour for a song in Marathi, his mother tongue, added another dimension to the achievement. The award also marks another milestone in Jodhpurkars career, which has seen him work across several Indian languages and film industries. He began his playback career at the age of 21 with A.R. Rahmans Moongil Thottam from Mani Ratnams Kadal. He later lent his voice to projects in Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Hindi and Marathi cinema. His Hindi playback debut came with Mere Naam Tu from Zero, composed by Ajay-Atul. While the National Film Award was announced earlier this year, receiving it at the ceremony made the recognition more tangible for the singer. Speaking about the honour, Abhay says, I am still trying to soak in this moment. It is honestly quite overwhelming and still feels like a dream. When I heard the news, I cried, and even now, a few days later, I don't think I have completely processed it. To stand there and receive the National Award, especially for a Marathi song that is so close to my heart, was something I could never have imagined when I started singing. There was a lot of emotion because I felt I wasn't just receiving an award for a song; I was representing my mother tongue and something that has been such a big part of my upbringing. To be awarded the National Award by President Droupadi Murmu maam made the moment even more surreal. It reminded me that dreams really can come true, no matter how far-fetched they may seem. I feel invincible and deeply humbled at the same time. More than anything, it gives me a sense of responsibility to become a better artist and create work that can bring about a positive change in the people I reach. All the hard work, the constant effort to get better at my craft and the resilience through all the hardships feel truly worthwhile today. The Gujarat venue also held personal significance for Jodhpurkar. Born in Badwani and raised near the Narmada, he attended the ceremony with the memory of his parents in mind. Reflecting on the experience, he says, Coming to Ekta Nagar to receive the National Award felt like a homecoming with my mom and dad. I was born in Badwani and grew up right by the Narmada. So to be standing there, receiving one of the biggest honours of my life, with my parents in my heart, was incredibly emotional. Knowing that I am only the third singer after Lata Mangeshkar ji and Kishore Kumar ji to receive this honour from Niwad, Madhya Pradesh, made it even more special. Its a great matter of pride and honour for any artist, and to receive something like this at a place with so much history made it even more meaningful. At the same time, I dont know where I have reached yet. I still have a lot to learn in my journey and so much more work to do. This is such a big honour in itself, and it only makes me want to keep working harder and become better at my craft. It felt like everything had somehow come full circle. The National Award adds another chapter to Jodhpurkars career, which spans more than 300 projects across 16 languages. His Hindi work includes songs such as Mere Naam Tu from Zero, Saare Jag Mein from Aap Jaisa Koi, Rasiya (Climax Version) from Brahmastra, Duniya from Almost Pyaar with DJ Mohabbat, Ek Boond from Doctor G and Jara Jara Man Khulavate from Gandhi Talks. Alongside his Hindi work, Jodhpurkar has continued to contribute to Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Bangla, Gujarati, Punjabi and other regional cinema. With the National Film Award now part of his journey, the singer aims to continue exploring different musical styles and languages while developing his craft further.

Years after Tera Yaar Hoon Main became widely associated with friendship and continued to receive millions of views and streams, Arijit Singh, Rochak Kohli, Kumaar and Luv Ranjan have reunited for Purane Din, a song from Pehla Pyaar Doosri Baar. While Tera Yaar Hoon Main focused on the lasting bond between friends, Purane Din looks at the memories and emotions that often come with those friendships. The song touches upon young love, classroom glances, unspoken feelings and the excitement of seeing someone you have a crush on every day. Composed by Rochak Kohli, sung by Arijit Singh and written by Kumaar, Purane Din explores the innocence of first love through a soft and soulful composition. The track also adds an emotional dimension to the stories of the films six protagonists Tushar Chhibber, Sargun Kaur Luthra, Kunal Vaid, Sakshi Vaidya, Sparsh Walia and Alisha Chopra as they experience friendship, emerging feelings and the early stages of their respective love stories. View this post on Instagram A post shared by T-Series (@tseries.official) Talking about the reunion, composer Rochak Kohli says, The love Tera Yaar Hoon Main continues to receive even today is something Im extremely grateful for. With Purane Din, Im happy to reunite with Luv Ranjan, Arijit and Kumaar and explore another emotion that is just as universal - the innocence of first love. Weve tried to create a song that feels familiar yet new, and I hope Purane Din can recreate that same magic and resonate with listeners for years to come. Lyricist Kumaar adds, Both Tera Yaar Hoon Main and Purane Din come from a very similar emotional space - friendship and the memories we create while growing up. With Purane Din, I wanted to capture that innocence of college life, when friendships, first crushes and the smallest moments could feel so significant. The idea was to write about a time that we may have left behind, but whose emotions still stay with us. I hope the lyrics bring back that feeling of being young, having your friends around you and experiencing those first emotions together. The song is now available on T-Series Music. Presented by Luv Films, Pehla Pyaar Doosri Baar is directed by Anuj Saini and produced by Luv Ranjan and Ankur Garg.

Taapsee Pannus Gandhari continues to achieve new milestones on Netflix, emerging as the biggest Indian film performance on the platform in 2026. The action thriller has not only found a strong global audience but has also received appreciation for Taapsees physically demanding performance and action sequences. Reflecting on the films success, Taapsee spoke about how its strong opening was followed by an even bigger jump in viewership, which she believes came from the content connecting with audiences. Taapsee said, When the film opened, we knew that if people started watching it, they would continue to watch it. They wouldnt leave it midway. The film had one of the top three openings of the year, which can only mean that the story worked for people. You may initially want to watch a film for its maker or its actors but the subsequent jump is purely because of the content. I think thats where this film broke all records and proved everyone wrong. There were people who rejected it. But I feel that if the same film had a male lead and had been written by a male writer, no one would have questioned its logic. No one would have asked, how can it be like this or that? Perhaps it would have received a bigger budget and we could have made it fancier. Its not as if people dont enjoy illogical films with male leads. She added, So, why is it that when it comes to a female protagonist, we have no room for error? To prove its success and silence the naysayers, Gandhari had to become one of the biggest Netflix originals of all time. Even if it had made it to the top 10, it would have been a success. Now, Gandhari is on its way to becoming perhaps the number one film ever. With Gandhari continuing to hold strong on the global charts, the film has become an important milestone in Taapsees career. For the actor, the response also adds to her growing list of female-led films that have connected strongly with audiences.

Yami Gautam on National Film Award win; says, I think it's a very true validation for any artist
Yami Gautam recently received the National Film Award for Best Actress for her performance as NIA officer Zooni Haksar in Article 370. Speaking about the honour at the trailer launch of Nayyi Navelli, the actress opened up about how the recognition has affected her approach towards her work and said that it has brought a greater sense of responsibility. Yami said, I do feel that sense of responsibility even more. She explained that she has always tried to choose roles that excite her as an actor while also connecting with the audience. For her, receiving the National Film Award was a major recognition of her work. I think National Film Award is a really, really big honour and I think it's a very true validation for any artist, she said. The actress also acknowledged that the award has changed things for her professionally. I will be lying if I say nothing changed after receiving the award, Yami said. She added that the recognition has made her more aware of the responsibility that comes with being an actor. Despite the honour, she remains focused on continuing to give her best and earning the audiences appreciation through her work. Reflecting on her journey from a small town to receiving one of the countrys major film honours, Yami said, There is so much for me to learn. She stressed that the award has not changed her focus on learning and growing as an artist. Yami was also asked if the National Award had made her think about aspiring for an Oscar. Keeping her ambitions private, she said, Sapne sirf aapko aur aapke man ko pata hone chahiye kya hain, baaki main zyada bolti nahi hoon. Main apne kaam mein vishwas karti hoon, she said. The actress further said that she believes good work should speak for itself rather than an artist repeatedly talking about achievements. On remaining grounded, she added, Pair bilkul zameen par hi hain aur zameen se jitney jude rahenge utna acha rahega. Yami also shared a lesson she has learnt from senior artists while success can come with time, maintaining humility is something that remains within an individuals control.

India Ke Top 1%: Anil Kapoor calls marriage to Sunita Kapoor he best decision of his life
Anil Kapoor recently opened up about marriage and relationships while interacting with contestants on India Ke Top 1% The Anil Kapoor Show. The conversation explored different perspectives on marriage, with contestants sharing their experiences of long-term relationships, singlehood and their views on commitment. One of the contestants, Sumeet Melwani from Pune, revealed that he has been in a relationship for 35 years but has never married his partner. He also said that he does not feel the need to put a label on their relationship. Another contestant, Rochak Saxena from Baroda, spoke about being comfortable with his decision to remain single. He said he values his independence and personal time and does not want to get married simply because his family expects him to. The discussion prompted Anil to reflect on his own marriage to Sunita Kapoor. Sharing his perspective, the actor said, Main yeh nahi bol sakta ki maine galti ki hai, ya was it the best decision of my life. Par mujhe lagta hai yeh meri zindagi ka sabse behtareen, sabse best decision tha ki maine shaadi ki. Anil Kapoor gets an idea for a second honeymoon The conversation also took a more personal turn when Gujarat-based contestant Shubham Balande shared what he would do if he won the show's Rs 1 crore prize.

The Drishyam franchise is set to return with its concluding chapter, Drishyam The Conclusion, with Jaideep Ahlawat joining the cast as SP Crime Branch officer Rajveer Singh Tomar. The actor has opened up about stepping into an established cinematic universe and the responsibility of introducing a new character into a franchise with an existing audience. Speaking about his approach to the film, Jaideep said, When you enter a successful franchise, I think your first responsibility is to understand the world you are entering. Every franchise develops its own rhythm, its own relationship with the audience, and Drishyam has a very specific tone. The actor acknowledged that the franchise already has an established relationship with viewers, particularly through the character of Vijay Salgaonkar, played by Ajay Devgn. Elaborating on his experience, Jaideep said, I was very conscious that I was entering a universe that already belonged to the audience. They have lived with Vijay Salgaonkar, they have understood his methods, they have formed opinions about him. So, I couldn't approach Rajveer as if he was arriving in an entirely new story. He had to arrive with an understanding of the world he was stepping into. Jaideep also spoke about the pressure that comes with joining a successful franchise. According to the actor, that pressure needs to be kept aside once filming begins. He said, As for pressure, I think pressure is useful only until the moment you start shooting. Before that, it can make you think about a hundred things that have nothing to do with the scene. Once you are on set, the only pressure that should matter is whether you are doing justice to the moment in front of you. The actor also discussed working alongside Ajay Devgn and Tabu, highlighting their approach to restraint while performing. And having Ajay sir and Tabu ma'am there actually made the process more interesting for me. When you are working with actors who have such a strong understanding of restraint, you don't feel the need to manufacture intensity. For me, the challenge was to make Rajveer feel like he had always belonged in this world, while still making the audience wonder what this new person could potentially do to the world they already know. Directed by Abhishek Pathak, Drishyam The Conclusion features Ajay Devgn, Tabu, Shriya Saran, Rajat Kapoor, Jaideep Ahlawat, Prakash Raj, Kamlesh Sawant, Ishita Dutta and Mrunal Jadhav, among others. The film is written by Abhishek Pathak, Aamil Keeyan Khan and Parveez Shaikh and produced by Alok Jain, Ajit Andhare, Kumar Mangat Pathak and Abhishek Pathak. Presented by Star Studio18 and produced under the Panorama Studios banner, Drishyam The Conclusion is scheduled to release theatrically on October 2, 2026.

Kareena Kapoor Khan and Saif Ali Khan to return on Koffee With Karan for Season 9
Kareena Kapoor Khan and Saif Ali Khan are set to return to the Koffee With Karan couch together. The Bollywood couple is currently shooting for the upcoming ninth season of Karan Johars popular celebrity chat show. Their appearance will mark only the second time they have shared the couch on the show. Kareena and Saif first appeared together on Koffee With Karan during its third season in 2010. At the time, the two were reportedly dating and were yet to get married. The couple eventually tied the knot in 2012. Their upcoming appearance will therefore bring them back to the chat show together as a married couple after 16 years. Over the years, Kareena has been a regular presence on Koffee With Karan, appearing across multiple seasons. She returned in Season 6 alongside Priyanka Chopra Jonas and later featured in Season 8 with Alia Bhatt. Her latest appearance, however, will be different as she shares the couch with Saif once again. The couples return comes shortly after Karan Johar announced that Koffee With Karan 9 will be the final season of the long-running celebrity chat show. While announcing the news, Johar reflected on the programmes journey, which began in 2004. He also recalled how his father, filmmaker Yash Johar, had initially questioned the idea, wondering who would pay to watch Karan talk to his friends. Despite the initial doubts, Koffee With Karan went on to become a long-running fixture in Bollywood entertainment. Over the years, the shows conversations about relationships, friendships, careers and the film industry have frequently made headlines and sparked discussions. With Season 9 set to bring the shows 22-year journey to an end, Kareena and Saifs reunion adds another chapter to its history. Their return also marks a full-circle moment, given their first joint appearance on the show came when they were dating, while this time they will appear together as a married couple.

Maddock Films drops the music video of Mere Rehte from Prahaar in Vishal Mishras deep voice, watch
Following the successful trailer launch of Prahaar - The Untold Story of Ujjwal Nikam, Maddock Films drops the music video of Mere Rehte, a stirring track by Vishal Mishra, presented by T-Series. The song captures the deeply personal emotion behind loving ones country; a love that gives one the courage to stand as its shield against any threat. Composed and sung by Vishal Mishra, with lyrics by Amitabh Bhattacharya, the song becomes a powerful promise to protect the nation, no matter what stands in the way. The music video brings the songs emotion to life through powerful visuals from 26/11 and our Mumbai that witnessed the terror attacks first-hand. It takes viewers back to the people, places and moments that became part of the citys collective memory, while introducing the man who chose to fight what came next through Indias justice system. The visuals capture the weight of that night and the battle that followed, offering a stirring glimpse into the world of Prahaar and Ujjwal Nikams pursuit of justice. At the heart of Mere Rehte is the idea of a man becoming a shield for the country he loved - not as a soldier or a cop, but as a lawyer. Ujjwal Nikams weapon was the law, and Vishal Mishras Mere Rehte becomes an anthem for that fight, capturing the courage, conviction and sense of responsibility at the heart of Prahaar. The music video brings the emotion of the song into the visual world of Prahaar, offering a glimpse into the films characters and the larger stakes of the story. Through its visuals, the video complements the songs central idea of courage, duty and protection, while giving audiences another glimpse into the world of Ujjwal Nikam. Speaking about the track, Vishal Mishra said, 26/11 is very close to all our hearts, especially because Mumbai is our lifeline. When I heard the vision behind Mere Rehte, I knew it would come very naturally to me. My love for the country runs very deep, and a huge part of my heart belongs to powerful music like this, which fills our hearts with pride and patriotism instantly. The spirit of Prahaar is rooted in courage, duty and standing up for the country, and Mere Rehte carries that same thought - that as long as we stand, nothing can reach our nation. The song also complements the larger emotional world of Prahaar, a story rooted in courage, duty and the pursuit of justice. While the film explores the life and convictions of celebrated prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam, Mere Rehte taps into the larger sentiment of standing up for the country and protecting what matters most. Produced by Dinesh Vijan and Maddock Films, Prahaar The Untold Story of Ujjwal Nikam stars Rajkummar Rao and Wamiqa Gabbi, and is directed by Avinash Arun. The film releases in cinemas on October 16, 2026. Also Read: Who is Lalit Prabhakar? Meet the National Award-winning actor playing Ajmal Kasab in Prahaar

Amitabh Bachchan began the latest episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati Season 18 by informing viewers about a knee injury he sustained during the shoot. The veteran actor, who generally delivers his opening monologue while standing at the centre of the stage, appeared seated this time and explained the reason behind the change.

Talking about her experience of working in the format, Nikki said, Theres a very different energy to vertical stories because everything moves at a faster pace. I enjoyed adapting to that rhythm, The fact that I got to play two contrasting characters made it a very special project for me. The series also marks a new on-screen pairing between Nikki and Vishal Aditya Singh. Their collaboration comes with a storyline that allows Nikki to explore two distinct sides of her character and present a different aspect of her acting. For Nikki, Ex vs Wife is therefore more than just a shift into a new storytelling format. The project gives her an opportunity to experiment with contrasting emotions and performances within the same series. Moving between two different characters also requires her to approach each role with a distinct perspective. As vertical series continue to become a part of the digital entertainment landscape, Nikki's debut with Ex vs Wife sees her take on a format that demands a faster approach to storytelling and performance. With Vishal Aditya Singh as her co-star and a double-lead role to portray, the series adds another format to Nikki's acting journey.

Kriti has built a varied filmography, with her performance in Mimi earning her a National Award, while projects such as Do Patti and Tere Ishk Mein have allowed her to explore different shades as a performer. More recently, she has been receiving attention for her portrayal of Ally in Cocktail 2. Talking about the kind of characters she would like to explore going forward, Kriti expressed an interest in stepping into darker and more complex territory. She said, I would love to get into the psyche of, like, a really gray character. I feel like it's something that, you know, as an actor, it just gives you an opportunity to play something that you're not. Completely away. So I would love to explore a little more gray. The actress also spoke about her interest in the superhero genre and specifically expressed her desire to headline a female superhero story. Kriti said, I also want to play, like, a superwoman. I feel likethe only superhero that we have in India is Krish. Yeah. And of course, we have Shaktimaan, right. But they're all men. I would love to, you know, there should be, like, a female superhero. You would pull it off. I would love to. I have to do action. Yeah, I'd love to do that. That would be really cool. Putting it out there. Kritis comments indicate the kind of roles she is keen to explore as she looks beyond conventional romantic and dramatic parts. A female-led superhero project would also give her the opportunity to combine performance with action, something she has expressed an interest in taking up. For now, the actress continues to build on a filmography that has included comedy, romance, drama and psychological themes. Her interest in grey characters and superhero roles suggests that action and morally layered characters are among the spaces she would like to explore in the future. Whether a female superhero project eventually becomes part of Kriti Sanons filmography remains to be seen, but the actress has clearly put the idea out there.
