Bigg Boss 20: Salman Khan urges censorship on social media, raises concern over AI deepfakes; says, I am going to take this up very seriously

Salman Khan has raised concerns over the growing misuse of artificial intelligence on social media, particularly the creation of fake videos and manipulated audio featuring public figures. During the latest episode of Bigg Boss 20, the actor-host revealed that he has also been featured in AI-generated content and called for legal action against those who deliberately create and circulate such material. Salman was discussing the changing nature of bullying and eve-teasing, saying that such behaviour has increasingly moved to social media in the form of trolling. He stressed that people should be held accountable for the content they create and share online. Someone made an AI video, or did AI voice dubbing; that is wrong. AI has progressed so much that it's very scary. It's a very serious thing. You said something, and someone used AI to edit it and kisi ko gali bakdi. You know what they're doing? AI videos bana rahe hain yeh. Bahut saare logon ke (They abuse someone. Do you know what they're doing? Theyre making AI videos of so many people), and even I am there in the AI video, the host said. Salman Khan calls for legal action against AI video creators Salman also distinguished between people who may unknowingly share AI-generated content and those who intentionally create such videos while being aware that the material is fake. Now, people who don't know it is AI-generated content might post that Salman Khan was there. But those who know this reality and still created the video, what kind of people are they? Now those kinds of people should be put behind bars. Jab tak koi ek aadh, do aisa andar jaayega nahi na, tab tak yeh rukne wala hai nahi. There has to be a law that needs to be passed, and there has to be censorship on social media. And I am going to take this up very seriously. His comments come amid growing concerns around the misuse of AI to create manipulated videos and voice clips of celebrities and other individuals. Salman also pointed out that celebrities can approach cyber cells to trace the source of such content. Still, people without similar access or resources may find it more difficult to respond when manipulated content targets them. The actor's remarks add to his recent comments on online trolling during Bigg Boss 20. In an earlier episode, he had spoken against social media users targeting celebrities with personal remarks and body-shaming. What is Bigg Boss 20 about? Hosted by Salman Khan, Bigg Boss 20 centres on the theme of second chances. Contestants have been given an additional life that can help them remain in the game after facing certain setbacks. Yung DSA, Aasif Khan, ScoutOP, Uditi Singh and Kanika Mann have already lost one of their lives, while the remaining contestants have two chances at survival. The latest contestant to leave the reality show is Isha Rikhi, who was evicted in the September 27 episode. Bigg Boss 20 airs on Colors TV and streams on JioHotstar.

EXCLUSIVE: Shweta Tripathi on pitching at TIFF as a producer: I felt like I was giving an exam; opens up producing queer love story Mujhe Jaan Na Kaho Meri Jaan: Hum pyaar pe paabandiyaan kyun daal dete hain?

After making her mark as an actor, Shweta Tripathi has now taken on a new role of a producer. Mujhe Jaan Na Kaho Meri Jaan marks her debut feature as a producer and also stars her alongside Tillotama Shome in the lead. Earlier this month, Shweta travelled to the 51st Toronto International Film Festival after being selected by WIF (Women In Film) India for the Gold House Pitch, a platform that connects selected filmmakers with international producers, financiers and potential collaborators. Representing India through the WIF India initiative made the opportunity even more significant for Shweta as she embarked on this new chapter of her career. In an exclusive interview with Bollywood Hungama, the talented and ever-energetic Shweta Tripathi opened up about her TIFF experience, turning producer with Mujhe Jaan Na Kaho Meri Jaan, and a lot more. You have been to film festivals in the capacity of an actor. This time, you went there to pitch your first film as a producer. How did that feel? This journey is very different for me as I am taking steps in this direction for the very first time. So, theres so much to learn and thats very exciting. Also, its not been easy. I have been planning for this for the last ten years (smiles). For a decade, I have been working on scripts with some very talented writers, whom I believe in. Their scripts are such that I sometimes question, Yeh film toh banni chahiye; yeh film ban kyun nahin rahi?. However, the purity of your intent is very important in such cases. You need to ask why you want to do it. And your reason has to be strong because this path is going to be difficult. Its exhausting and overwhelming to follow your dreams. But the fun lies in understanding how to navigate. Yes, you have some good ideas, but what do you do about it? So much is happening around you and amid all of that, you need to find your best-case scenario. Since I love food, let me give a food analogy! As actors, we are served with a thali. We taste the food in the thali and then we give our feedback. However, its a readymade thing that comes to us. Of course, once you sign the film, you begin a collaborative process with the director, the actor, etc. But as a producer, I get to decide whats on the menu. With the help of my HODs, I can decide ki yahan tamatar ki chutney jaani chahiye, ya dhaniya ki chutney jaani chahiye. Ya humein Harissa sauce chahiye! Once you take that call, everybody starts contributing to it. As a producer, you are enabling and cheerleading. That really makes me happy seeing people I believe in doing well. I have been producing plays and theres a lot of joy in it. In life, I am chasing joy, and through our storytelling, I also want to push emotional boundaries. I believe the role of a creative person is to disturb, question and unsettle. All these factors motivated me to become a producer. 150 projects were submitted and ours were one of the few projects that got selected at TIFF. It made me believe that I was in the right direction. The same happened when Tillotama Shome also liked the script. Later, when Juhi Chaturvedi also endorsed the script, it further added to my motivation. And TIFF, of course, was the icing on the cake. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Women in Film India (@wifindia) How was the TIFF experience? I woke up at 5:30 in the morning. I felt like I was giving an exam (laughs). You should have seen me before the pitch meeting. I was like a student, with my notes and I was doing my revision again and again. After all, I have got this platform and I need to respect it. Of course, honesty is also paramount. If you are honest, people connect. It was also beautiful because Mirzapur was playing in Toronto at the same time, and the shows were housefull! Woh ek alag energy thi. Another lovely thing that WIF did was provide us with mentorship. Even while I was in India, we were connecting online with mentors from different parts of the world and learning from them about what works. As an actor, my journey has been very different, but I wanted to understand the things that are important when you step into the role of a producer. You get nine minutes to deliver your pitch, and in those nine minutes, you have to talk about the story, budget, intent, motivation and everything else that matters. The mentorship initiative really helps you prepare for that. In a way, its like climbing a mountain. But thats also what makes it exciting; yeh pahad chadhne mein aapko mazaa bhi aata hai! It also goes without saying that I love film festivals. Thanks to Masaan (2015), Haraamkhor (2017) and other films, my entry into the industry happened through the festival circuit. I had never been to TIFF before, though I had attended several other film festivals as an actor. This experience has left me completely charged up. I want to build a community of people who keep pushing the boundaries of emotion and storytelling. Whos going to be cast in Mujhe Jaan Na Kaho Meri Jaan and whos going to direct it? The writer and director of the film is Sanjoy Nag. He made a National Award-winning film, Memories In March (2011). Tillotama Shome and I will be in the cast. Its a love story of two women. Now, we are just looking for people to support our endeavour. Its a lovely and simple story and its important to tell such human stories, especially in these conflicting times. I dont think there are enough such stories. You seem to gravitate towards queer love stories. You produced a play, Cock, which also had an LGBT theme Yes. I really believe in love. Love is love, and your gender, class, religion or orientation shouldnt matter. Love is beautiful and pure, and that should be celebrated. Hum uspe kyun paabandiyaan daal dete hain? That pains me. At the end of the day, love is something beautiful, and we should come together to help it grow. If we do that, everybody benefits. Giving love is bound to bring you happiness. So why complicate it?

EXCLUSIVE: Dhruv Tripathi on feature debut Reporting Live starring Parineeti Chopra, I wanted to make a thriller that feels grounded and real

Dhruv Tripathi is set to make his feature directorial debut with Reporting Live, an investigative thriller set against the world of journalism. The film stars Parineeti Chopra and Deven Bhojani in the lead roles and is scheduled to premiere on Netflix on October 9, 2026. Co-written and directed by Tripathi, Reporting Live follows an ambitious young reporter and her cameraman as they investigate what initially appears to be a straightforward story. Their reporting eventually leads them into the world of illegal sand mining, putting them in conflict with powerful forces that are determined to prevent the truth from coming out. The film also features Adil Hussain, Amol Palekar and Shekhar Suman as part of its ensemble cast. Set within the journalism landscape, the thriller explores the risks involved in pursuing a story while focusing on characters who find themselves dealing with circumstances beyond their control. For Tripathi, the film marks the culmination of a seven-year journey. He developed and wrote the story with Mihir Jadhav before bringing it to the screen as his first feature film. Speaking about his feature debut, Dhruv Tripathi said, It feels incredibly special to finally announce Reporting Live. Ive lived with this film for seven years, from writing it with Mihir to bringing it to the screen, so seeing it ready to go out into the world is quite surreal. I wanted to make a thriller that feels grounded and real, while never losing sight of the ordinary people at the heart of the story. Ive been incredibly fortunate to make it with a wonderful cast and crew who brought so much to the film, and Im really excited for audiences around the world to experience it on Netflix. Tripathi is a graduate of the London Film Schools MA Filmmaking programme. Before moving to feature filmmaking, he wrote and directed short films including 10x10ft and Intezaar. His short films have been screened at international film festivals and have received awards for Best Director and Best Screenplay. With Reporting Live, Tripathi moves from short films to his first feature, continuing his focus on grounded and character-driven stories. The film is written by Mihir Jadhav and Dhruv Tripathi and produced by Partha Kiran Thakur and Joshua Shirsath.

Alisha Chinai opens up on Made In India: Whoever heard the song said, Either itll work or itll flop; adds, That video caused a REVOLUTION audience saw the singer singing the song

Alisha Chinai began her singing career with Adventures Of Tarzan (1985). A major turning point came with 'Made In India', which made her a household name. Moreover, at a time when music videos were still a novelty in India, Made In India was accompanied by a striking video featuring Alisha alongside the dapper Milind Soman. As a result, the song became a rage. As per Wikipedia, Made In India was the first ever Indian pop album to achieve commercial success on a par with Indian film music albums and it also marked a spectacular beginning to the era of Indian music videos... it also became the first non-film album to break unit sales records in India. In a conversation with Komal Nahta, Alisha Chinai looked back at this turning point in her life. When asked if she expected Made In India would become such a big hit, she replied, I didnt expect it would become a sensation. However, my gut instinct told me that this song was going to be very special. I felt that while recording the track. The way I sang it, I was actually thinking of Noor Jehan. Shes my favourite singer. I was trying to use her inflexion and her harkat. It was a bit high-pitched for me. But Biddu sir said, No, no, you have to sing it! So, I sang and I told myself, Theres something about this song; its special. Whoever heard the song told us, Either itll work, or itll flop! She added, Finally, when the video came out, it blew everyone off. That video caused a revolution. Earlier, when I sang, there were no videos or television. So, it was the first time the audience really saw the singer singing the song. MTV also just came in and the whole pop revolution began as a result. So, the timing was just perfect.

Yash Chopras 94th birth anniversary EXCLUSIVE: Adnan Sami reveals LESSER-KNOWN story of how the legendary filmmaker helped him secure Indian citizenship: He gave me a letter of recommendation and said, It would be my ABSOLUTE pleasure

Today, September 27, marks the 94th birth anniversary of one of the greatest filmmakers of all time, Yash Chopra. He is remembered not just for his wonderful films, many of which have stood the test of time, but also for his jovial nature with which he charmed one and all. Not many, however, are aware that he also played an important role in helping Adnan Sami secure Indian citizenship. On the occasion of Yash Chopras birth anniversary, Bollywood Hungama exclusively brings to you a little-known piece of trivia. Bollywood Hungama exclusively spoke to Adnan Sami in August 2026 during the release of his latest song, Ishq Tamasha. The interview was conducted in his study, where Adnan has displayed the Preamble to the Constitution of India. We asked him about it, which led him to recall Yash Chopras kind gesture. Adnan Sami said, Yash ji was like a father figure to me. He was extremely loving and supportive of me. As part of the process of getting Indian citizenship, you need to have a letter of recommendation from a fellow citizen. Its a part of the procedure. I spoke to Yash ji and he was very forthcoming. He said, It would be my absolute pleasure to do that (smiles). Adnan continued, A lot of people feel that it happened overnight. Some assume that one day I woke up and decided, Chalo Indian citizenship lete hain, and I got it the next day (laughs). Thats not how its done. It was a long process. It took me about 18 years to get it! The requirements were strict. Also, my application got rejected twice, that too, not on any grounds. These are bureaucratic procedures. If you dont cross the letter T properly or put the dot on the I properly, or if you leave some column blank by mistake, your application gets rejected on such grounds. They inform you of the reason behind it. Then you need to begin from scratch. And the next time, you make sure to cross the T perfectly (laughs). Adnan Sami further said, So, these things take time. It took 18 years. This is why I turn around and say, It was a long struggle. It required herculean patience. Therefore, once I was blessed with it, thats why I value every aspect of it. And that is why you have the Preamble over here, because I value it (smiles). Also Read: Adnan Sami recalls working in India as Pakistani citizen: It was never difficult for me to get work in India
