Kareena Kapoor Khan hesitates to comment on the 'daayra' for outfits amid ongoing Kriti Sanon Giva ad controversy; Meghna Gulzar steps in

Kareena Kapoor Khan recently attended the trailer launch of Daayra along with director Meghna Gulzar and the team of the upcoming film. During the event, the actress was asked about the ongoing controversy surrounding the Giva jewellery commercial featuring Kriti Sanon. However, Kareena appeared hesitant to address the issue and did not share her views on the matter. The controversy erupted after Kriti Sanon featured in a Raksha Bandhan special advertisement for jewellery brand Giva, wearing an Indo-western fusion outfit with a bralette-style blouse. The look sparked a debate on social media, with some users expressing their displeasure over the choice of attire, while others supported Kriti and her stance on women having the freedom to make their own choices when it comes to clothing. Given the ongoing discussion, reporters at the Daayra trailer launch asked Kareena for her opinion on choice of outfits in a film. However, the actress appeared uncomfortable with the question and was hesitant to respond. Director Meghna Gulzar then stepped in and addressed the question. Meghna said, Uss film mein ek female ka ya ek male ka kya character hai uss hisab se unko dress kiya jayega (In that film, whether its a female or male character the dressing depends on that). The Giva advertisement subsequently became the subject of increased online criticism, following which the brand removed the commercial from its digital platforms. Giva also issued an apology in the aftermath of the backlash, while maintaining that it continued to stand by the intent behind the campaign. The controversy also came amid a larger conversation around clothing choices and the way women are perceived based on what they wear. Kriti had faced significant trolling over her look in the advertisement, while several social media users came out in support of the actress and her views on individual choice. Meanwhile, Kareena Kapoor Khan is gearing up for Daayra, which marks her first association with Meghna Gulzar for the upcoming crime drama. The film revolves around two police officers who hold completely different ideologies and values but find themselves working on the same investigation involving a heinous crime committed by juveniles. The contrasting perspectives of the two officers form a central part of the films narrative as they attempt to solve the case while navigating their differences. Daayra is currently scheduled to release in cinemas on September 18, 2026.

Mandana Karimi opens up about 6 years of cyberbullying and stalking; says, This is harassment, and I will no longer remain silent

Former Bigg Boss contestant Mandana Karimi has opened up about an alleged cyberbullying and stalking ordeal that she claims has continued for more than six years. The actress spoke about the issue on social media on Tuesday, September 1, 2026, and alleged that the person behind the harassment has also targeted people from her professional circle. Mandana claimed that the alleged stalker contacted her producers and co-stars with defamatory messages and even asked them for money. She shared screenshots of some of the alleged emails and urged anyone receiving such messages to avoid engaging with the sender. Mandana Karimi on cyberbullying and stalking In a series of videos shared on Instagram, Mandana alleged that the incidents began after her separation from businessman Gaurav Gupta and continued even after she moved from India to Dubai. Sharing her frustration, Mandana said, I am on a holiday, and it has happened again. I have had a cyberbullying case and a stalker for over 6 years since I got separated. An account messaged my producer and co-stars to make them aware of me and also asked them for money. Its still happening. I dont understand who hates me so much and wants me to have no work, money, or friends. The actress further claimed that she had earlier hired someone to look into the matter. According to Mandana, she was informed that a professional hacker had allegedly been paid to monitor her social media activity. She also alleged that people close to her had received emails from a fake account. In a detailed caption accompanying her videos, Mandana said she had been dealing with cyberbullying, harassment and stalking for years. She alleged that the unknown person closely monitors her life and sends malicious emails to people she works with or associates with, despite her relocation to Dubai. Mandana also claimed that she had previously filed multiple cybercrime complaints and has now decided to speak publicly about the matter while sharing what she described as evidence. She wrote, Enough is enough. For years, I have faced ongoing cyberbullying, harassment, and stalking from an unknown person who closely monitors my life and sends malicious emails to people I post or associate witheven after I moved from India to Dubai. I have previously filed multiple cybercrime complaints, and I am now speaking publicly and sharing the evidence. She further urged recipients of such emails not to send money or believe their contents. If you receive any email concerning me, please do not engage, send money, or believe its contents. Save it, take screenshots, and forward it to me. This is harassment, and I will no longer remain silent, she added. Mandana Karimis marriage Mandana was previously married to Mumbai-based businessman Gaurav Gupta. The couple reportedly dated for around two years before getting engaged in July 2016. They tied the knot in a civil ceremony and later had a traditional Hindu wedding in March 2017. Following her marriage, Mandana reportedly filed a domestic violence case against her husband and his family, which she later withdrew. The couple separated and their divorce was finalised in 2021. Mandana has now alleged that the cyberbullying and stalking began around the time of their separation and has continued over the years.

What makes an Aditya Datt film? Five signatures Gunmaaster G9 could bring together

Aditya Datt has spent two decades moving between romance, thrillers, action and biographical drama, but the genres have changed more than the filmmaker's instincts. From Aashiq Banaya Aapneand Table No. 21 to Commando 3 and Bad Cop, Datt's works have repeatedly been built around characters pushed into difficult situations, action that serves the story and emotion that gives the spectacle its stakes. With Gunmaaster G9, he returns to Emraan Hashmi and, intriguingly, to Himesh Reshammiya, almost 20 years after their Aashiq Banaya Aapne collaboration. The teaser promises guns, romance and high-octane action, but if Datt's track record is any indication, there could be considerably more happening beneath the noise. Here are five signatures that could define his next. 1. Conflict That Drives the Story Datt's stories rarely rely on action or twists for their own sake. Conflict is usually what sets the characters in motion. Aashiq Banaya Aapne used a romantic triangle to build jealousy, betrayal and tension, while Table No. 21 turned a seemingly harmless holiday into a psychological battle where every round pushed its protagonists closer to uncomfortable truths. In Gunmaaster G9, the conflict again appears personal: Emraan's character seems to be fighting not simply to survive, but for love. 2. Characters Under Pressure Put Datt's characters in a comfortable situation, and there probably isn't much of a film. In Table No. 21, Rajeev Khandelwal and Tina Desai's married couple are progressively pushed beyond their limits as the game exposes secrets and consequences. Commando 3 took that pressure into action territory, putting Vidyut Jammwal's commando against a threat where failure has national consequences. Datt's heroes work best when the pressure keeps escalating, and Gunmaaster G9 appears to follow that template. 3. Action With Purpose Datt has previously spoken about wanting action to be purposeful rather than simply spectacular. That philosophy was central to Commando 3, where physicality was tied to character and story. In Bad Cop, the series which featured Anurag Kashyap as the antagonist and Gulshan Devaiah in a double role, the action choreographed for the criminals was different from that of the cop. With Gunmaaster G9, the guns and fights may be bigger, but the interesting question is what drives them. If Datt's past work is a guide, every punch, chase and shootout should mean something. 4. Emotion Beneath the Action Even when Datt goes big on spectacle, emotion tends to remain the anchor. Table No. 21 ultimately wasn't about a game; it was about a marriage and the consequences of choices. Karenjit Kaur - The Untold Story of Sunny Leone, similarly looked beyond the public persona to explore family, relationships, ambition and identity. That emotional layer could give Gunmaaster G9 its weight. In the teaser, Emraans character is portrayed as someone who is fighting for love, which makes the action an extension of his emotional stakes. 5. Music With an Identity Music has been a Datt signature from the very beginning. Aashiq Banaya Aapne gave Himesh Reshammiya his breakthrough as a playback singer with its iconic title track, while Table No. 21 featured Gajendra Verma's Mann Mera. Commando 3, meanwhile, delivered tracks including 'Knock Knock Tera Baap Aaya.' Integral to his work is how he designs music, and Datt has consistently found space for songs that become part of a film's identity rather than mere soundtrack fillers. Now, with Himesh returning for Gunmaaster G9, that musical connection comes full circle. Interestingly, many begin their roads to success with Datt, be it Himesh Reshammiya or Tanushree Dutta, Geeta Basra or even Shabina Khan, the choreographer. Across his filmography, Datt has repeatedly put characters under pressure, made action serve a purpose and used music and emotion to give his worlds an identity. Gunmaaster G9 could bring all five instincts together, making it a seamless version of the Datt signature.

Arshad Warsis Jeevan Bheema Yojana gets a twist as its official title is revealed as Jeevan Ya Bheema Con?

The makers of the Arshad Warsi and Sanjeeda Shaikh-starrer, which was earlier promoted under the name Jeevan Bheema Yojana, have finally unveiled the films official title as Jeevan Ya Bheema Con?. The title reveal comes during the films release week, following a promotional strategy that kept audiences guessing about the movies actual name. As part of what the makers describe as a first-of-its-kind marketing approach, the phrase Jeevan Bheema Yojana was used extensively throughout the promotional campaign. The unusual phrase was intended to capture attention, create curiosity and keep the audience intrigued, while the official title was kept under wraps until closer to the theatrical release. The newly revealed title, Jeevan Ya Bheema Con?, reflects the films central themes of mistaken identities, deception, crime and chaos. Directed by Abhishek Dogra, the dark comedy marks Arshad Warsis first double role. He plays two contrasting characters, Jeevan and Bheema, whose lives become unexpectedly intertwined. Jeevan is a debt-ridden, ordinary man searching for a way out of his financial troubles. His life takes an unexpected turn when he encounters Bheema, his dangerous lookalike. As their paths cross, confusion over identities leads to a series of complicated and unpredictable situations. Sanjeeda Shaikh plays Yojana, Jeevans intelligent and resourceful wife, while Vijay Raaz portrays the mysterious Vinayak. The film also features Pooja Chopra, Bijendra Kala and the late Atul Parchure in important roles. Speaking about playing a double role for the first time, Arshad Warsi said, Its a quirky film. The trailer doesnt really do justice to the film because there is so much more to the story and a lot is happening. It is about two simple people, how they get caught up in a mess, and how they eventually find their way out of it. There are many unexpected things happening throughout the film, making it quite unpredictable.

Bhumi Pednekar reacts to alleged rape of 16-year-old in moving Delhi-NCR bus: How can we see this happen again and again and again! Shame!

Bhumi Pednekar has spoken out following the alleged rape of a 16-year-old girl inside a moving sleeper bus in the Delhi-NCR region. The incident has raised fresh concerns about the safety of women and minors while travelling on private buses. The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has also taken cognisance of the case. Bhumi addressed the incident through her Instagram Stories on Monday. Questioning how such cases continue to occur despite repeated discussions about womens safety, she wrote, How can we see this happen again and again and again! Shame! According to a Hindustan Times report, Delhi Police arrested the driver and conductor of a sleeper bus for allegedly gang-raping the minor. Police said the teenager, a Class 11 student from Mainpuri in Uttar Pradesh, was allegedly misled into boarding the bus in Greater Noida earlier this month. The accused allegedly drove her across different parts of Delhi-NCR before abandoning her near Kashmere Gate. The case has also resulted in a jurisdictional dispute between the police forces of Delhi and Uttar Pradesh. UP Police have alleged that Delhi Police did not inform them about the incident despite the alleged assault taking place within the Gautam Buddh Nagar Commissionerate area. According to Delhi Police, the teenager had left her home on August 3 without informing her parents after being reprimanded by her mother over her studies. She was travelling to her cousins residence in Sector 63, Noida. Police said the girl accidentally got down at Pari Chowk after it became dark and heavy rain began. She reportedly signalled to an approaching bus for help, following which the conductor allegedly told her that the bus was headed towards Sector 63. She boarded the vehicle, where police said there were no other passengers. The conductor allegedly behaved inappropriately with her after the bus started moving. Police alleged that both the driver and conductor sexually assaulted the teenager and threatened to kill her when she resisted. Following the complaint, Delhi Police registered a case under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act. The girl underwent a medical examination, which confirmed the assault. Investigators used CCTV footage and other information to trace the bus to a parking area in Timarpur, north Delhi. The vehicle was seized and sent for forensic examination. The teenager was subsequently produced before the Child Welfare Committee and, following its directions, handed over to her father. On the work front, Bhumi was last seen in Daldal, where she portrayed DCP Rita Ferreira, a police officer investigating a series of murders in Mumbai while dealing with a troubled past. The series, based on Vish Dhamijas bestselling novel Bhendi Bazaar, is streaming on Amazon Prime Video. Before Daldal, Bhumi appeared in films including Mere Husband Ki Biwi, Khel Khel Mein and Bhakshak.
