Priyanka Chopra Jonas pens heartfelt note for Parineeti Chopra on her 38th birthday
Priyanka Chopra Jonas took to social media to wish her cousin-sister Parineeti Chopra on her 38th birthday on Thursday, October 22. The actress shared a photograph of Parineeti along with a warm birthday message, wishing her a year filled with happiness, love and everything she hopes for. In the picture shared by Priyanka, Parineeti was seen wearing a pink outfit embellished with pearls. She completed her look with matching makeup and earrings. Accompanying the photograph, Priyanka wrote, Happy Birthday Tisha, @parineetichopra! Heres to a beautiful year filled with love, laughter and everything your heart wishes for, extending her wishes to her sister on the special occasion. This birthday marks Parineeti's second celebration since she embraced motherhood. The actress, who was born on October 22, 1988, welcomed her son, Neer, with her husband, politician Raghav Chadha, in October 2025. Priyanka has previously spoken about her happiness at becoming a maasi to her nephew. In November 2025, Parineeti offered a glimpse of the gifts she received for Neer from Priyanka, her husband Nick Jonas and their daughter Malti Marie. The hamper included baby shoes, clothes, a hairbrush and other essentials for the newborn. Expressing her gratitude, Parineeti wrote, Neer getting spoilt already! She also affectionately referred to Priyanka as Mimi masi, Nick as Nick masa and Malti as Malti didi. The two actresses have shared glimpses of their relationship on social media over the years. However, Priyanka's absence from Parineeti and Raghav's wedding in Udaipur in September 2023 had attracted attention. Parineeti's mother, Madhu Chopra, had clarified that Priyanka was occupied with work commitments. The actress later congratulated the couple online, writing, My blessings always. On the professional front, Parineeti made her acting debut with Ladies vs Ricky Bahl in 2011.

The excitement of Saif Ali Khan over ghee has become an unexpected talking point on social media, with his reaction to a prize on Kaun Banega Crorepati continuing to entertain audiences. The actor has now opened up about his fondness for the ingredient, explaining how a light-hearted moment turned into a running joke. He has also revealed that he is still waiting to receive the ghee he was promised on the quiz show. The moment originated during Saifs appearance on Kaun Banega Crorepati alongside Akshay Kumar. During the episode, Saif learnt that answering the tenth question correctly would unlock a two-year supply of Gowardhan Ghee. His enthusiastic response, Wow, what? This is it; this is why I came, quickly became a viral meme, with social media users joking about his excitement over the prize. The joke resurfaced during a recent episode of Netflixs The Great Indian Kapil Show, where Saif appeared alongside his wife, Kareena Kapoor Khan. The episode marked the couples first joint appearance on Kapil Sharmas comedy show. During their conversation, the two spoke about married life, parenting and fitness. When Kapil asked about the secret behind their youthful appearance after 14 years of marriage, Saif playfully credited ghee, with Kareena adding that it is a regular part of their household. Saif also used the opportunity to joke about not having received either his prize cheque or the promised supply of ghee. He has now elaborated on why the ingredient appeals to him, linking his interest to cooking as well as its traditional uses. It started off as a light joke, but it became such an amazing thing. We have so many good uses for ghee. I like cooking also, and I think cooking chicken in ghee is one of the most amazing things. My wife has many nutritional ideas. She even massages it on her feet, which is a really good Ayurveda, joke aside. It also helps you sleep very well. Ghee has got incredible benefits, and I am going to benefit. Despite the humour surrounding the episode, Saif made it clear that he has not forgotten the promised prize. Addressing the brand directly, he said, To all the good people at Govardhan Ghee, I just want to tell you before things get really serious - I still havent received my ghee, and I am expecting it. So please, lets honour our commitments! Whether the actor eventually receives his two-year supply remains to be seen, but the running gag has given audiences another memorable Saif Ali Khan moment.

Bigg Boss 20 contestant Mahhi Vij has opened up about her decision not to seek or accept alimony or maintenance from her estranged husband Jay Bhanushali. During a conversation with Aasif Khan inside the house, Mahhi said she chose to be financially independent and wanted to secure her daughter Taras future on her own. Mahhis comments came amid an emotional week for the contestants, many of whom have been missing their families. The actress recently found herself in a heated argument with Arishfa Khan after she made remarks about the influencers upbringing. Arishfa has spoken on the show about being raised by a single mother. Mahhi later acknowledged that her comments were wrong and apologised to Arishfa. However, the issue resurfaced during another argument on Wednesday, when Arishfa accused Mahhi of being disrespectful towards her mother and called her cheap. Following the confrontation, Mahhi broke down and spoke about her personal life while talking to Aasif. Mahhi Vij says she did not take alimony or maintenance During the conversation, Mahhi said, Arishfa is such a liar. I want to speak to her as I talk to my daughter Tara, but she is very disrespectful. That day, I felt bad about what I told her. I am a single mother and only I know how I survive every day. She then spoke about her relationship with Jay, and said, Jay pushes me to step out; he says I am at home around Tara all the time, and he also offers to look after Tara. But my life revolves around her, she added. Mahhi went on to claim that she did not take any money as alimony or ask for maintenance. I didnt take a single penny in alimony or even ask for maintenance. Im here on my merit, only so that my daughters life is secured. Its not like Jay doesnt offer to help, but I cannot ask for money from someone. Its his hard-earned money, she said. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Mahhi Vinod Vij (@mahhivij) Mahhi recalls judge asking her to reconsider Mahhi further claimed that during their court proceedings, the judge asked her multiple times to reconsider her decision not to seek alimony or maintenance. When I was standing in the court, the judge asked me four times to reconsider not taking alimony or even maintenance. He insisted that I take it. I didnt take it because Jay earned that money after working very hard, she said. Mahhi clarified that her decision did not mean Jay would refuse to support her if she needed it. She said she considers his earnings the result of his own hard work. Not that he will refuse me for anything his entire locker is open for me. But its his efforts, he stood for 16 hours at work and earned that, she added. Mahhi had earlier denied Rs 5 crores alimony reports Mahhis latest comments also revisit rumours that surfaced after she and Jay announced their divorce in January. At the time, reports claimed that Mahhi had demanded Rs 5 crores as alimony. The actress had addressed the reports in a YouTube vlog and urged people not to believe claims about their separation without confirmation from her. She had also asked for privacy for herself and their children. Also Read:Bigg Boss 20: Saqib Saleem, Snehil Mishra extend support to Asif Khan after clash with Qazi Touqeer over heart attack remark
Aasif Khans wife, Zeba, has broken her silence on the controversy surrounding the actors health after his confrontation with fellow Bigg Boss 20 contestant Qazi Touqeer. In a strongly worded social media statement, Zeba revealed that Aasif had suffered a massive heart attack at the age of 34 and explained why he had initially described his health scare as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Zebas statement comes after Aasif and Qazi got into a heated argument over a remark about a heart attack. The disagreement escalated into a physical confrontation, with Aasif headbutting Qazi. The incident sparked a wider discussion among viewers about Aasifs past health scare and Qazis comment. Addressing the backlash, Zeba said the accusations and abuse directed at her husband and their family had compelled her to speak publicly about his medical history. Aasif Khans wife says he suffered a massive heart attack at 34 In her statement, Zeba said she had initially chosen to remain silent, hoping the controversy would settle down. However, she said the negativity surrounding Aasif had made it difficult for her to stay quiet. Having witnessed Aasifs pain firsthand, I feel I owe it to him and our family to share the truth, she wrote. Confirming the seriousness of his medical condition, she added, Yes, Aasif had a heart attack. A massive one. At just 34. Zeba also expressed distress over having to make her husbands medical records public to establish the seriousness of his experience. It breaks my heart that I now have to share his medical reports just to prove what he went through was real. I never imagined something so personal would have to be made public for people to believe him, she said. Why Aasif Khan initially said it was GERD Zeba explained that Aasif had initially attributed his health scare to GERD because he was afraid that disclosing a serious cardiac condition could affect his career and future work opportunities. When Aasif initially said it was GERD and not a heart attack, it was out of fear. He worried that a serious health condition could cost him the projects he had worked hard for and close doors to future opportunities. In an industry where opportunities are uncertain, especially without backing, that fear was real, she wrote. Recalling the severity of his condition, Zeba said, I will never forget being told his main coronary artery was completely blocked, the ICU, the stent, or holding my husband as he cried, afraid of losing the future he had dreamed of. Zeba added that the experience was particularly painful for Aasif because he had lost his father to a heart attack when he was a child. Surviving a similar medical emergency himself, she said, brought back the fear of losing his life and leaving his own family behind. Zeba alleges death threats against Aasif and rape threats against family Zeba also condemned the online abuse directed at her husband and their family amid the Bigg Boss 20 controversy. She said, Seeing his health turned into a joke and his honesty questioned is deeply painful. This has gone beyond criticism. We have faced vile abuse, death threats against Aasif and rape threats against our family. Nothing can justify this. Questioning the hostility surrounding a reality television dispute, Zeba added, Bigg Boss is an entertainment reality show. When did entertainment become an excuse for cruelty? When did disagreements become a reason to threaten someones life or target their family? She acknowledged that viewers could have differing opinions about contestants and their actions but urged them to distinguish criticism from personal attacks. Everyone is entitled to an opinion. But criticism is not cruelty, and disagreement should never become a reason to wish harm upon someone, she said. Concluding her statement, Zeba said the issue extended beyond her husband and called for greater sensitivity towards people who have survived serious medical emergencies. This is bigger than Aasif. Every survivor and every family who has watched a loved one fight for their life deserves compassion, not ridicule, she wrote. She added, Behind every contestant is a real person, a family and a life beyond the cameras. Zeba ended her message with an appeal for empathy, saying, Please choose empathy. Please choose kindness. No disagreement should ever come at the cost of basic human decency.

Ranbir Kapoor brought a regal touch to promotional activities for Ramayana in Hyderabad, where he attended a special event along with the team of the film. Staying true to his understated approach to fashion, the actor opted for a traditional silhouette with contemporary detailing, allowing his carefully chosen accessories to add character to the ensemble. The standout element, however, was his Jacob & Co. timepiece, reportedly worth approximately Rs. 35.88 lakhs. For the occasion, Ranbir wore a bespoke midnight-blue bandhgala featuring a raised mandarin collar and a sharply tailored fit. Layered over a crisp white shirt, the textured jacket offered a polished take on festive dressing without relying on a conventional suit-and-tie combination. The deep blue shade lent the look a formal finish, while the traditional Indian silhouette complemented the events cinematic setting. The actor elevated the ensemble with a distinctive bird-shaped brooch embellished with stones and finished with a droplet emerald. A gold-toned button detail added another accent to the jacket. He completed the look with amber-tinted tortoiseshell glasses, a single hoop earring and neatly groomed hair, keeping the overall styling restrained while allowing the finer details to stand out. The most notable accessory was the Jacob & Co. Epic X Sher-e-Punjab Gold Edition watch, reference EX113.43.AE.AA.ABRUA. The exclusive timepiece features a 44 mm rose-gold-toned case and an open-worked skeleton design that reveals the mechanical movement beneath the sapphire crystal. Its construction places the movement at the centre of the design, giving the watch a distinctive architectural appearance. The timepiece also incorporates symbolic detailing, including engravings of the Ek Onkar, a roaring lion emblem and the Khanda. These elements distinguish the edition, while its royal-blue honeycomb rubber strap echoed the colour palette of Ranbirs bandhgala. With an approximate reported price of Rs. 35,88,000, the watch became a statement piece in an otherwise carefully balanced look. Ranbirs Hyderabad appearance comes ahead of the theatrical release of Ramayana: Part One, directed by Nitesh Tiwari. The film is scheduled to arrive in cinemas worldwide on November 5, 2026, with Ranbir playing Lord Rama, Sai Pallavi portraying Sita and Yash appearing as Ravana. The two-part adaptation is set to continue with Ramayana: Part Two, scheduled for a theatrical release on Diwali 2027. At the promotional event, Ranbirs ensemble offered a considered blend of Indian formalwear and luxury accessories, with the blue bandhgala and statement watch serving as the defining elements of his appearance.

Radhika spoke about it and raised laughs. Radhika Apte said, It's homecoming (laughs)! On a serious note, I genuinely feel at home. There was a time when people would ask whether I hold any shares (in Netflix)! In the beginning, people did ask me that question, 'Do you hold shares?'. I was like, 'Of course I don't hold shares on Netflix'. But people (don't believe me) and they say 'You do' (laughs)! Keerthy Suresh suggested to Radhika, You should say you do (own shares). Radhika joked, I should say, 'I own it'! Tanya Bami amazed the attendees as she revealed, I am sure you know that the meeting rooms in our office are named after our shows. But one room is named after Radhika! Radhika Apte stated, Yes, there is (laughs)! I was very proud. I went there and they told me, 'Come, come, see' and I saw names of other actors as well. I asked 'Why are their names there?'! I am kidding (laughs). She continued, But there's a room in my name. It was very nice. I sat in there to discuss something once. Akka marks Radhika Apte's sixth title on Netflix. The previous collaborations were Lust Stories, Raat Akeli Hai, Monica O My Darling and Raat Akeli Hai: The Bansal Murders.

Prajakta Koli has spoken about how the audience that supported her journey as a digital creator continues to influence her confidence as an actor. Appearing on Neha Dhupia and Angad Bedis Double Date alongside her husband, Vrishank, Kohli discussed her transition to films and recalled working on JugJugg Jeeyo, which she described as her biggest film at the time. Reflecting on how her online community has shaped her approach to professional opportunities, Kohli explained that she did not enter the sets of the family drama preoccupied with whether her co-stars would approve of her performance. Instead, she was conscious of the audience that had followed her work and would be watching her on the big screen. She said, In most rooms I walk in with a bit of confidence because of my community online. I dont want to say this without humility, but I am very grateful for the work. When I was doing JugJugg Jeeyo, it was my biggest film, with bigger people and a great star cast. Mere dimaag mein ye thought nahi tha (There wasnt a thought like) ki hope they like me or not. My thought was that everybody who buys tickets for me should also love me, without taking away anything from Anil sir, Neetu maam or Kiara. Including Karan Johar and Maniesh Paul to VD (Varun Dhawan), everybody was so nice to me. Her comments offer a glimpse into how Kohli views her place in the film industry after establishing herself online. Rather than focusing solely on fitting into an unfamiliar professional environment, she emphasised the importance of the audience that has supported her across platforms. Her experience on JugJugg Jeeyo also gave her an opportunity to work alongside established actors, including Anil Kapoor, Neetu Kapoor, Kiara Advani and Varun Dhawan. The episode also marked the first time Koli and Vrishank appeared together on Double Date. The couple discussed their relationship, recalling how they first met, how their friendship developed into companionship and who proposed first. They also spoke about balancing their respective professional lives while supporting each others ambitions. Through the conversation, Koli addressed both her evolving career and the personal experiences that have shaped her journey. The episode brings together reflections on her move from digital content creation to acting and a more personal account of her relationship with Vrishank.

Rashmika Mandanna opened up about body exposure, on-screen costumes and the importance of actors being able to set boundaries during her appearance on Koffee With Karan Season 9. The discussion came after host Karan Johar brought up the criticism surrounding Janhvi Kapoors introduction in Peddi. Janhvis role as Achiyamma in Buchi Babu Sanas Peddi had sparked a discussion online, with some viewers questioning the emphasis on her appearance and body over the character. The criticism led to conversations around the portrayal of female actors in commercial and rural-set films. During the second episode of Koffee With Karan Season 9, which featured Rashmika alongside Vijay Deverakonda, Karan discussed the topic with the actress. He pointed out that he had not seen a similar situation happen with Rashmika and asked whether she had been careful about such portrayals. Rashmika Mandanna on costumes and skin show Rashmika said, There are some things that I am not okay with. I know some characters sort of need something like a bikini or something like that, but even in that, I would say I am not very comfortable with exposing or skin show; I am not that kind of person. The actress added that commercial films can sometimes involve costumes that make her uncomfortable. However, she said she has certain boundaries that she communicates while working with filmmakers. But at the same time, there are lines that I draw for myself, which most often directors are okay with. Those are the kind of people I prefer working with, Rashmika added. Vijay Deverakonda says such conversations can be challenging Vijay Deverakonda then pointed out that having these conversations with filmmakers and teams can still be difficult for actors. But then it is still challenging to have these conversations, Vijay said. Rashmika agreed and explained that actors should feel comfortable enough to ask questions or express concerns about a particular scene or costume. Correct, but you also need to make it easier for the actors to come and ask such questions because even I find it hard. Sometimes I have a conversation with Viju: 'I want to say this, you think I can?' And he is like, 'Yes, you should,' she said. Vijay Deverakonda stresses the need for a support system Vijay further spoke about the pressure actors can face when they decide to refuse something they are uncomfortable doing. According to him, having a support system can help performers understand that saying no does not make them unprofessional. They all need a support system to tell them that it is okay to put your foot down and say a 'no', because people can make you feel like you are an actress, you have signed this film, isn't this your job? So, you start feeling that pressure of 'Am I not doing my job?' When they start making you feel unprofessional, it is like, 'Let us not make a big deal about it; let's hope that it will all be okay', and you kind of do it unwillingly, Vijay said.

Akka trailer: Keerthy Suresh, Radhika Apte lock horns in Netflixs gangster drama
Netflix has unveiled the trailer of Akka, an upcoming gangster drama starring Keerthy Suresh and Radhika Apte in the lead roles. Written and directed by Dharmaraj Shetty, the series is set in the fictional kingdom of Pernuru, where a power struggle between two women threatens to disrupt a long-standing legacy. Produced by YRF Entertainment, Akka is scheduled to premiere on Netflix on October 30. The series also features Tanvi Azmi, Mahesh Manjrekar, Anshuman Pushkar and Monica Panwar. The trailer introduces Bhavani, played by Keerthy, and Rudra, portrayed by Radhika, as two women with different ambitions and approaches to power. As Rudra challenges the established order in Pernuru, tensions rise, and long-standing loyalties are put to the test. Keerthy Suresh on playing Bhavani Keerthy described Bhavani as a character who is determined to protect her legacy while dealing with difficult choices. Bhavani is a woman who knows what she stands for and will go to great lengths to protect her legacy. What makes her interesting is that beneath her strength and authority are choices that are never easy, especially when the stakes are so high, Keerthy said. The actress also spoke about working with Radhika Apte, saying the contrasting personalities of Bhavani and Rudra add to the tension in the story. Working with Radhika was amazing because Bhavani and Rudra bring such different energies to the story, and their dynamic adds another layer of tension to the narrative, she added. Radhika Apte on Rudra and her rivalry with Bhavani Radhika described Rudra as a woman who refuses to be defined by her circumstances and is willing to challenge the existing power structure. Rudra is someone who refuses to be defined by the circumstances she finds herself in. She is fierce, has her own ambitions, and is willing to challenge the established order, which makes her a fascinating character to explore, she said. According to Radhika, the central conflict in Akka goes beyond a straightforward battle for power and is also shaped by the characters' personal beliefs and loyalties. What I enjoyed about Akka is that the conflict isn't simply about who holds power; it's also about the different beliefs, loyalties, and personal stakes that drive each character, she added. Radhika also described sharing the screen with Keerthy as an enjoyable experience while bringing the rivalry between their characters to life. Dharmaraj Shetty on creating the world of Akka Writer-director Dharmaraj Shetty said the opportunity to approach the gangster genre through a different setting and set of characters was one of the reasons he was drawn to the project. What drew me to Akka was the chance to give the gangster genre a world with its own rules, and to tell a large, entertaining saga through characters and relationships we don't often see at its centre, Shetty said. He added that Pernuru is shaped by generations of women, with power and rivalry forming the core of the story. Pernuru is a world shaped by generations of women, where power, legacy, and rivalry play out in fresh and unexpected ways, he added. Akka marks the latest collaboration between Netflix and YRF Entertainment. The two companies have previously worked together on projects including The Romantics, The Railway Men, Maharaj and Mandala Murders. The series will premiere on Netflix on October 30.
