Actor Sai Pallavi recently opened up about her idea of an ideal life partner during an appearance on Kaun Banega Crorepati. In a conversation with host Amitabh Bachchan, the actor explained that she would prioritise being with a good human being over having a long list of expectations, adding that knowing how to cook would be an advantage. During the interaction, Amitabh Bachchan asked Sai Pallavi, Yadi aapne kabhi tay kiya, ki aap vivah karna chah rahe hain, toh kis tarah ke insaan ko chuniyega aap? (If you ever decide that you want to get married, what kind of person would you choose?) Responding to the question, Sai Pallavi shared her perspective on relationships and the importance of self-awareness. She said, Pehle achhe insaan honi chahiye... because... we should not be very self-centered... introspect karni chahiye, apna actions ko hum ek baar check karni chahiye... toh someone who has some insight about where he is in life, kuch galti kar sakte hain, par usko sudharana chahiye... main bahut list bana rahi hoon aisa nahi, achhe insaan honi chahiye aur agar cooking pata ho toh achha hoga.. (First, he should be a good human being... because we should not be very self-centred. We should introspect and check our own actions once. Someone who has some insight into where he is in life. One can make mistakes, but one should work on correcting them. It is not that I am making a long list; he should be a good human being, and it would be nice if he knew how to cook). Her candid response brought smiles and laughter to the studio, with the actor keeping her answer simple while highlighting the importance of being considerate, reflecting on ones actions and learning from mistakes.

Himesh Reshammiya has opened up about the inspiration behind one of his most recognised songs, 'Aashiq Banaya Aapne.' The singer-composer recalled an unusual real-life moment involving a friend at a lounge that helped shape the emotional idea behind the track. Himesh spoke about the song during his appearance on trade analyst Komal Nahtas podcast, where he discussed his musical journey and some of the experiences that influenced his work. Himesh Reshammiya recalls the moment behind Aashiq Banaya Aapne Remembering the incident, Himesh said he was at a lounge with his friends when he noticed one of them reacting emotionally to the music. During Aashiq Banaya, I was at a lounge with my friends. One of them was dancing, crying and drinking, all at the same time. The background music was a happy song, but he might have had a bad memory associated with someone, which made him emotional, he recalled. According to Himesh, watching his friend experience sadness while surrounded by a lively atmosphere gave him the emotional connection that later influenced the song. That was the emotional connection I experienced at that moment. This was something no one had really tried before: taking a very sad song in terms of melody, one that was intense and deeply painful, and blending it with a beautiful memory, he said. Himesh on combining heartbreak with a club sound Himesh explained that the concept was to create a song that carried the pain of heartbreak while still fitting into a club environment. He said the lyrics needed to remain relatable, while the production would help create the contrast. The lyrics have to be generic, and then you create a track with the right production that will hit the clubs, he said. He also pointed to the songs music video, where the central character remains emotionally disconnected despite being surrounded by people dancing. If you watch the video, the guy is crying in pain. He is not connected to the people dancing around him in the club. He is in his own world of pain, while the music kicks in and the beats keep playing, Himesh said. He added, Yet, it is a very emotional and painful song. Himesh credits his father for the vision Himesh also recalled the musical landscape at the time, noting that remixes of sad songs were not as common. While he stopped short of claiming that he was the first to explore the idea, he said having the concept and vision gave him an advantage. Back then, remixes of sad songs were not very common. I am not saying I was the first to do something like that. However, having that concept and vision was the advantage I had, thanks to my dad, he said. Himeshs appearance on Game Changers: The Music Series comes as the podcast returns with a season focused on singers, composers and other figures from the Indian music industry. The series, hosted by Komal Nahta, features conversations around their creative journeys, influences and experiences behind some of their work.

Aakash A Kaushik, who made his directorial debut with Udta Teer, has already established himself as a successful writer. Over the years, he has written films like FALTU (2011), Housefull 4 (2019), Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 (2022), Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 (2024) and Bhooth Bangla (2026). Humour has been his forte, as evident from his previous work as well as Udta Teer, which he has also co-written. In an exclusive interview with Bollywood Hungama, Aakash A Kaushik opened up about his writing career, his experience of working with Priyadarshan on Bhooth Bangla and Anees Bazmee on the Bhool Bhulaiyaa franchise. Aakash A Kaushik said, I am very lucky that I got a chance to work with such legends. Anees bhai is like my elder brother. During Bhooth Bangla, I was busy making Udta Teer. Otherwise, I generally like to be on the sets. So, I wrote Bhooth Bangla and gave it to Priyan sir. Then, Rohan Shankar made the script better. Hence, I had limited interaction with him. But I had a good time and felt very happy working with him. Notably, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 was a sequel to his film. If he found me worthy of writing his next horror comedy, that was a big compliment for me (smiles). He added, As for Anees bhai, its been a great ride. Jitni mazedaar unki films hoti hain, utne mazedaar woh khud hain! Hes so full of energy, and its a treat working with both of them. Have Priyadarshan and Anees Bazmee seen Udta Teer? Aakash replied, Anees bhai has seen the film. I had shown it to him when it was not fully ready, as his feedback mattered a lot to me. Even then, he loved it. He saw the final product during the films premiere, and after the screening, he gave me a very tight hug. He said, I am very proud of you. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Akash A Kaushik (@aakashkaushik25) Bhool Bhulaiyaa (2007), starring Akshay Kumar, was a box-office hit and went on to attain cult status. Its successors, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 (2022) and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 (2024), starring Kartik Aaryan, were also hugely successful. Naturally, there is considerable anticipation for Bhool Bhulaiyaa 4. When asked about the possibility of a fourth instalment, Aakash revealed, My career really took off with Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2. We are always discussing taking the franchise forward. The big USP of the Bhool Bhulaiyaa films is their twist. Other elements, like horror and comedy, are also important, but its the final twist that works the most. So, we had a great twist in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 as well as Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3. Now, theres one idea that I am very excited about, and hopefully, well soon start work on that. He also spoke about his future directorial plans, saying, I have a couple of ideas that I am very excited about. I feel the one-line story itself has to be out-of-the-box. That needs to be exciting. I was searching for that one big idea, and I think I have it. I have already begun working on it. Once its completed, I hope to start approaching actors.

Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor Khan offered a glimpse into their playful relationship in a fun interaction with Vogue, where the couple answered questions about their personal lives in the magazines Tell the Truth segment. From debating who first said I love you to revealing who takes charge when ordering food, the actors brought their trademark humour to the conversation. The segment began with a question about who would be more likely to survive a zombie apocalypse. Saif was quick to back himself, pointing out that she had already done a film centred on the subject. I did a movie on zombie apocalypses. So, it would be me. But I'll help you in the family, of course, Saif said, while also reassuring Kareena that he would look out for the family. When he reinstated saying, Of course, I'm there, Kareena playfully added, I would hope so, Saif. Their exchange set the tone for the light-hearted conversation, with the couple teasing each other while discussing their life together. Things got even more interesting when they were asked who had said I love you first. Kareena admitted that it might have been her, while Saif immediately disagreed. Explaining his reaction, she said, He just doesn't want to embarrass me, so it might have been me. Saif, meanwhile, confessed that he could not remember who had said it first, responding, Thats so sweet. I don't remember who did that. Kareena then delivered one of the sweetest moments of the interaction, telling her husband, You can always say I love you again to me. View this post on Instagram A post shared by VOGUE India (@vogueindia) The couple also revealed an everyday detail about their relationship when asked who usually orders food for the table. Saif credited Kareena with knowing her way around different cuisines, admitting that he often envies her choices. My wife is a food expert in various cuisines. And I'm always jealous of what she orders. So, I usually leave the order to her, he said. Kareena agreed with his assessment, adding, Yeah, always end up eating what I order. The exchange offered a charming look at the couples equation, balancing affectionate confessions with the sort of playful banter that comes from years of companionship. Married since 2012, Saif and Kareena continue to draw attention for their candid public appearances and easy chemistry, and their latest interaction gave fans another glimpse into their life together beyond the screen.

Janhvi Kapoor has finally spoken openly about her relationship with Shikhar Pahariya. Appearing on the latest episode of Koffee With Karan 9 with Varun Dhawan, the actor confirmed that she is officially dating Shikhar and also shared when she sees herself getting married. Janhvi Kapoor confirms she is dating Shikhar Pahariya During the conversation, host Karan Johar directly asked Janhvi if she was officially dating Shikhar Pahariya. The actor responded, Yeah, I am. Janhvi went on to explain why she has generally been cautious about discussing her personal life publicly. She said, Ive always thought about why everyones so cagey about this. Obviously, I dont want Nazar and I dont want to be overly explicit about whats happening in my personal life. But I also dont think people give that much of a fuck for us to be like, Lets never let anyone know. The actor added that she does not see a reason to be overly secretive about her relationship. I just think its overrated to be like, Let no one ever know ever. Its just kind of boring to be tiptoeing around, and its not a big deal, Janhvi said. Later in the episode, Karan Johar asked Janhvi when she planned to get married. The actor gave a straightforward answer, making it clear that marriage is not on the immediate horizon. Not for another 2-3 years for sure, Janhvi said. Janhvi Kapoor and Shikhar Pahariyas relationship Janhvi and Shikhar have known each other for several years. They reportedly first met when Janhvi was around 15 or 16 and have had an on-and-off relationship over the years. The two were reportedly close during their teenage years before taking a break around the time of Janhvis acting debut in 2018. Their relationship reportedly rekindled by 2022, and Shikhar has since been a regular presence in Janhvis life. The two have also been spotted together on several occasions, although they had largely avoided giving an official statement about their relationship. Shikhar Pahariya is an entrepreneur and polo player. He is also the grandson of former Maharashtra Chief Minister Sushilkumar Shinde and the brother of actor Veer Pahariya.

Singer-composer Himesh Reshammiya is set to headline the IIFA Digital Awards 2027, returning to the prestigious platform for another musical performance. The 27th edition of IIFA Weekend & Awards will take place at Etihad Arena, Yas Island, Abu Dhabi, on January 22 and 23, 2027. For Reshammiya, the return holds special significance, as his association with IIFA dates back to 2006 when the singer-composer had performed and also received an IIFA Award for the Emraan Hashmi starrer Aashiq Banaya Aapne, making his upcoming appearance a reunion with a platform that has been part of his musical journey for years. Speaking about his return to the IIFA stage, Himesh Reshammiya said, Coming back to IIFA feels incredibly special because it takes me back to some very memorable chapters of my journey. My association with IIFA goes back to 2006, when I performed on the IIFA stage, and I also received an IIFA Award for Aashiq Banaya Aapne. That makes this return even more meaningful, as IIFA has been a beautiful part of my musical journey over the years. For me, music has always been about that connection, when you step onto a stage, you leave everything behind and simply let the music speak. IIFA has always celebrated that powerful connection between Indian cinema, music and audiences across the world, and being part of that celebration once again is something I am truly looking forward to. This time, I am especially excited to perform some of my timeless chartbusters, along with my latest super-hit song Afsana Banaya Aapne. The song is particularly special because it brings me and Emraan Hashmi back together after 20 years, making it a wonderful full-circle moment for both of us. To return to IIFA and perform these songs for audiences in Abu Dhabi is something I am genuinely excited about, he added. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Himesh Reshammiya (@realhimesh) He concluded, I am thrilled to return to the IIFA stage for the IIFA Digital Awards 2027 at Yas Island, Abu Dhabi, and create another unforgettable musical moment with everyone. It feels wonderful to come back to a platform that has been a meaningful part of my journey, celebrate the music that has become a part of peoples memories, and once again experience the incredible love of the IIFA family. One of the highlights of Reshammiyas performance will be his latest song, Afsana Banaya Aapne, which brings him and actor Emraan Hashmi together after two decades. Alongside the track, audiences can expect to hear some of the singer-composers popular chartbusters. With Reshammiya returning to a stage that has played a significant role in his career, the IIFA Digital Awards 2027 will bring together music and Indian entertainment in Abu Dhabi as part of the two-day IIFA Weekend & Awards celebration.

Renowned award-winning Bollywood playback singer and live performer Amit Mishra, best known for his iconic hits such as Manma Emotion Jaage, Bulleya, Allah Duhai Hai and Sikandar Naache, is celebrating two back-to-back releases. While his latest single, Bareilly Wala Jhumka, was released on October 11 under Harsh Music Label, the singer is now gearing up for the release of Kudiye, a party track from the upcoming film Main Na Raha Mera, set to release soon. Bareilly Wala Jhumka is a peppy commercial dance number composed by Jayant Aryan, featuring Amit Mishra alongside co-singer Swati Sharma. The music video stars Akriti Agarwal and Aniket Raj and has been directed by Raj Ranjit. This also marks another collaboration between Amit and director Raj Ranjit, with whom the singer had previously worked on an Indi-Awadhi track. Adding to his back-to-back releases is Kudiye, a solo vocal track from the upcoming film Main Na Raha Mera, featuring Adhyayan Suman. Composed by Rahul Nair, the song is a high-octane party number with a contemporary, trendy sound and infectious energy. The track also marks Amit Mishras return to playback singing for Adhyayan Suman, having previously lent his voice for the actor in Lucknowi Ishq around 201011. Expressing his excitement about the single, Amit Mishra shared, As the look and feel of the song suggests, Bareilly Wala Jhumka is a proper commercial dance number. It was a really nice experience recording the song. Raj Ranjit is a friend, and I had earlier sung an Indi-Awadhi track for him, so it was great to collaborate with him again. Jayant Aryan has composed the song really well, and Im happy with how it has come together. I hope listeners enjoy the song, love the video, and continue showering it with their love. My best wishes to Harsh Music Label and the entire team. Talking about his experience of recording Kudiye, Amit Mishra shared, Rahul Nair is a very good friend, and weve worked together before, so we understand each others vibe. Hes a brilliant composer, musician and singer, and I really liked what he had created with Kudiye. The recording took around five to six hours, and Adhyayan Suman also came to the studio while we were recording and shared some inputs, which was really nice of him. He was happy with the vocals and was grooving to the song, which felt great and was encouraging. Kudiye has a very current, upbeat sound, with catchy lyrics that are sure to get people on the dance floor. I think people will enjoy it, and I can see it becoming the next party popper for those who love their party music. With Bareilly Wala Jhumka already out, bringing a vibrant dance sound, and Kudiye set to release soon with its contemporary, high-energy musical style, Amit Mishra showcases two different sides of his versatility as a singer.

For more than three decades, Bollywood's superstar hierarchy has been dominated by three names Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan and Aamir Khan. Their supremacy has survived changing audience tastes, the rise of multiplexes, the OTT revolution and the arrival of a new generation of actors. Several stars have challenged their dominance, but very few have managed to sustain the kind of hysteria that the three Khans have enjoyed. Now, as Ranbir Kapoor prepares for the release of Ramayana: Part One on November 5, an intriguing question arises. Is he about to achieve something that even the three Khans, despite their extraordinary careers, have not managed to accomplish? The answer lies not merely in the opening day numbers or the lifetime collections of Ramayana. It lies in the possibility of creating an Indian film franchise with the scale, cultural relevance and international potential to compete with some of the biggest cinematic properties in the world. From talented actor to genuine superstar Ranbir Kapoor's career has followed an unconventional trajectory. Unlike Salman Khan, who developed a formidable mass following through larger-than-life entertainers, or Shah Rukh Khan, whose romantic image became a global phenomenon, Ranbir has consistently moved between different genres. He played a troubled musician in Rockstar, a carefree young man in Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, a conflicted son in Animal and a film star in Sanju. These films showcased his versatility, but they also revealed an interesting aspect of his career. Ranbir's biggest successes have generally emerged when his acting abilities have been combined with a strong emotional narrative and a compelling cinematic proposition. Animal changed the conversation around his stardom. It demonstrated that Ranbir could deliver a massive opening and attract audiences beyond the traditional urban multiplex circuit. More importantly, it established him as a star capable of generating extraordinary anticipation before a film's release. With Ramayana, however, the stakes are considerably higher. The one territory the Khans never completely conquered Shah Rukh Khan has enjoyed remarkable international popularity. Aamir Khan demonstrated the enormous overseas potential of Indian cinema with Dangal, particularly in China. Salman Khan has delivered some of Hindi cinema's most successful mass entertainers. Yet, none of them has built a globally established, multi-film mythological franchise on the scale that Ramayana is attempting. This distinction is important. It does not mean that Ranbir has already surpassed their achievements. The Khans have delivered decades of box-office success, cultural influence and extraordinary audience loyalty. A single franchise cannot erase that legacy. However, Ramayana presents Ranbir with an opportunity that is fundamentally different from the conventional superstar race. If the makers successfully translate Ramayanas cultural familiarity into a compelling theatrical spectacle, Ramayana could travel far beyond the traditional audience for a Hindi film. And that could give Ranbir an entirely new dimension to his stardom. Can Ranbir become India's first truly global franchise superstar? Hollywood's biggest stars have increasingly benefited from association with globally recognised franchises. The success of such films is not always dependent on individual star power. Audiences are attracted by the characters, the cinematic universe and the promise of an extraordinary theatrical experience. This is precisely where Ramayana becomes interesting. Ranbir is not merely playing another commercial hero. He is portraying Lord Rama, one of the most revered figures in Indian mythology. The character carries enormous emotional and cultural significance, while the film's scale could introduce the story to international audiences unfamiliar with Indian cinema. If Ramayana succeeds globally, Ranbir could become the face of a franchise whose recognition extends well beyond his existing fan base. But there is a catch. The character of Rama is bigger than the actor portraying him. Audiences may turn up because of their attachment to the epic rather than because of Ranbir Kapoor. Consequently, even extraordinary collections would not automatically establish that Ranbir has greater individual drawing power than Shah Rukh, Salman or Aamir. The real test would come when he returns with a film that does not benefit from such a powerful pre-existing property. The numbers will tell only half the story There is considerable excitement surrounding Ramayana's commercial prospects. Its scale, premium formats, multiple language versions and ambitious international positioning create the possibility of exceptional box-office numbers. However, the film's eventual success must be examined through several parameters. An enormous opening would demonstrate the strength of the initial anticipation. Strong weekday collections would suggest positive audience acceptance. Sustained performance across different territories would indicate broad appeal. International collections beyond the Indian diaspora would be particularly significant. And given the scale of the investment, profitability would be just as important as headline-grabbing gross collections. A film can create box-office records without necessarily delivering equally impressive financial returns. The biggest opportunity and the biggest risk For Ranbir Kapoor, Ramayana represents an extraordinary opportunity, but also a tremendous responsibility. The expectations surrounding the film are unlike those attached to a conventional commercial entertainer. Audiences will judge not only the performances, direction and visual effects, but also the emotional authenticity with which the epic has been adapted. Even a commercially successful film could attract intense criticism if viewers feel that the storytelling has failed to do justice to its subject. On the other hand, if Ramayana delivers on its promise, Ranbir could find himself at the centre of a franchise that dominates the theatrical conversation for years. That would be an achievement of considerable significance. The final verdict It would be premature to declare Ranbir Kapoor Bollywood's biggest superstar. Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan and Aamir Khan have built legacies that cannot be measured through the success of one film. But perhaps Ramayana is not really about replacing the Khans. Perhaps it is about changing the definition of superstardom itself. For decades, Bollywood's biggest films were built around superstars. With Ramayana, there is an opportunity for a superstar to become the face of something even bigger than himself. If that happens, Ranbir Kapoor may not merely climb Bollywood's hierarchy. He could help create an entirely new one. Also Read: Could Yashs Ravana steal the thunder from Ranbir Kapoors Lord Ram? The STAR POWER battle inside Ramayana

In September 2026, Bollywood Hungama was the first to report that the late Mukul Dev would be seen in Udta Teer. We further revealed that the actor would be seen performing action and comedy and would also have a face-off with Ayushmann Khurrana. In an exclusive interview with Bollywood Hungama, Udta Teers writer-director Aakash A Kaushik opened up about his fond memories of working with Mukul Dev. Aakash A Kaushik said, I have a lot of fond memories of him. He had this beautiful laughter. I miss that a lot. Whenever I would narrate the scenes to him, he would laugh his heart out and remark, Yaar, yeh bahut funny hain. The way he picked up the accent was amazing. We worked hard to get it right as well. He added, I would be sitting at home at 12:30 am and suddenly, he would call me. Id pick up and ask, Hello, sir. Is everything okay?. He wouldnt say anything; he would just laugh. I would ask what happened and then he would say, Yaar, I cant stop laughing. Main so-and-so scene yaad kar ke has raha hoon. Aakash confessed, He would generally not type messages. Instead, he would send me voice notes on WhatsApp. I still have those voice notes and listen to them. He would say, Tune yeh bahut accha role likha hai. Iss picture ke baad, mujhe poore India se pyaar milega. I would respond, Sir, maine accha likha hai, lekin aapne usse bhi better perform kiya hain. I promised him that he would get a lot of love, and he did. I am sure hes watching from above and feeling very proud of himself. Mukul Dev passed away at the age of 54 on May 23, 2025. When asked if he was aware that he was ill and hospitalized for a week before his demise, Aakash replied, I didnt. It came as a shock to me. I had spoken to him for a month. When the news of his demise came, I was completely stunned. For the next few days, I just couldnt work. Udta Teer was largely filmed in 2024. Interestingly, the film begins with a sequence depicting Operation Sindoor, which took place on May 7, 2025. Mukul Devs character is also seen mentioning Operation Sindoor. This raises the question: Did Aakash A Kaushik tweak the script and Mukul Devs dialogue to incorporate the landmark incident into the film? Aakash confirmed, Yes. We had plans to show something else. But when Operation Sindoor happened, we decided to tweak his dialogue. But how did the makers manage to incorporate the new dialogue, considering that Mukul Dev had passed away by then? Did Aakash and his team use AI to recreate the late actors voice? Aakash replied, Yes, we did.

Ali Fazal has expressed gratitude for the overwhelming love that Mirzapur and his character Guddu Pandit have received over the years. As the series earns the distinction of being voted the most-watched show across streaming platforms over the last decade, spanning its first three seasons, the actor reflected on the emotional significance of playing a character that has become a household name. For Ali, the popularity of Guddu Pandit goes beyond professional recognition. The characters journey, intensity and transformation have resonated with audiences, making him one of the most recognisable figures from the crime drama. Reflecting on the milestone, the actor spoke about how the response to the series has exceeded expectations and how audiences have made Guddu Bhaiya a part of their lives. Speaking about the recognition and what it means to him, Ali Fazal said, It's honestly quite overwhelming and emotional to see the kind of love Mirzapur continues to receive. When we started this journey, we knew we were creating something special, but none of us could have predicted the scale at which the show and its characters would connect with people. Guddu Pandit has given me so much as an actor, and the fact that audiences have welcomed him into their homes and made Guddu Bhaiya a household name is something I will always cherish. There are moments when you pause and realise that a character you once played has become a part of people's lives, their conversations and their memories. That feeling is difficult to put into words. The actor also acknowledged the significance of the latest chapter in the franchise, Mirzapur: The Movie, which released this year and has delivered a notable box-office performance. According to Ali, the films response has further strengthened his emotional connection with the franchise and the audiences who have followed its journey across seasons. Continuing, he said, To now see Mirzapur receive this recognition, and to have Mirzapur: The Movie take that love forward with such an incredible response at the box office, makes the journey even more special. I am deeply grateful to the audiences, the entire team, and everyone who has stood by this world through every season. Guddu Pandit will always hold a very special place in my heart. Since its first season, Mirzapur has built a dedicated following, with its characters and dialogues becoming part of popular culture. Guddu Pandits evolution across the series has been central to its appeal, with Alis portrayal capturing the characters shifting ambitions, vulnerabilities and intensity. For the actor, the recognition serves as a reminder of the lasting connection that storytelling can create between performers and viewers. With the series continuing to enjoy widespread popularity and Mirzapur: The Movie extending the franchises reach, Guddu Pandit remains a defining role in Ali Fazals career.
