EXCLUSIVE: Is Maa 2 happening? Mahakali and Fauzi actor Jitin Gulati says, Theres always a possibility...these stories lend themselves to different versions

After working in Broken But Beautiful, Bambai Meri Jaan, Kajol-starrer Maa (2025), etc., Jitin Gulati will next be seen in two Pan-India projects Mahakali, co-starring Akshaye Khanna, and Prabhas-starrer Fauzi. In an exclusive interview with Bollywood Hungama, the talented actor explained how these films should benefit him, and also opened up on the possible sequel to Maa. Both Mahakali and Fauzi are Pan-India films and will be seen by a large section of moviegoing audiences across the country. When asked whether he hopes to get more author-backed roles from now on, the actor replied, Thats always the hope. I am just grateful because whatever I am doing in Telugu is possible because I have learned a lot while working on the Hindi films I did before. I have worked with varied directors, from Neeraj Pandey to Habib Faisal to Gurmmeet Singh to Bejoy Nambiar. Today, I am able to work in bigger setups simply because I have learned so much from these directors. So, the hope is that I move forward from here and I move upwards from here. I also hope I get better author-backed roles in Hindi as well. But I am not limiting myself to Bollywood. As we speak, I am chasing work in Tamil, Malayalam and other regional cinema as well (smiles). Wherever there is good work and a good director, I want to be a part of that. Last year, Jitin Gulati was seen in Maa in the role of a cop. The horror film did decent business at the box office and also garnered healthy viewership on Netflix. Jitin remarked, Every film that does well, is watched by a large number of people and, especially, features a known superstar benefits you. Maa had Kajol, and now I have worked with Akshaye Khanna and Prabhas in Mahakali and Fauzi, respectively; that always helps. A large number of people watch these films and, because of them, actors like me also get noticed. So, Maa did benefit me a lot. It was a theatrical success and did very well on Netflix as well. Is Kajol intimidating, as she is sometimes perceived to be? Jitin Gulati instantly replied, No. Shes very true to herself and people view it as being intimidating. But shes literally very easy to work with and shes very genuine as a person. For her, black is black (laughs). Because she doesnt mince her words, people find that intimidating. Otherwise, shes a joy to work with. There have been reports that a sequel to Maa is being planned. When asked about it, the actor replied, For that, you should check with either Devgn Films or Vishal Furia sir. They would be able to confirm. He continued, Theres always a possibility because stories like these lend themselves to different versions. However, the makers would know better. Finally, we asked him about his future projects. Jitin Gulati answered, Currently, I am in the middle of shooting Fauzi. Besides, I have shot a bit for a Hindi film. Ill finish shooting for it most probably this year or early next year. Itll release in 2027 as well. Itll be my first lead role in Hindi. Its a very good part and I'm quite kicked about it (smiles).

Celina Jaitly shares heartbreaking throwback picture with parents, brother and sons: I have lost my most valuable treasures

Celina Jaitly has shared an emotional throwback photograph featuring several of the people she has described as her most valuable treasures. The actor shared the picture on social media on September 17, reflecting on loss, family and the pain of looking back at moments that can no longer be recreated. The photograph features Celina with her late parents, her brother Major (Retd.) Vikrant Kumar Jaitly, and her twin sons Winston and Viraaj Haag. Her younger son Arthur, who was not yet born when the photograph was taken, is absent from the frame. Sharing the picture, Celina wrote, #alone : I am unsure which pain was worse.. the shock of what happened or the ache for what never will. She went on to reflect on the series of personal losses her family has experienced and how the photograph has taken on a different meaning with time. I still cannot believe the tragedies that have struck our family. In the blink of an eye, I find myself staring at a photograph surrounded by my most valuable treasures ( only Arthur is missing he wasnt born yet) Celina Jaitly reflects on family, loss and memories The actor described the photograph as a reminder of a life that once felt ordinary, but has since been marked by significant changes and loss. I find myself in a script I didnt sign up for.. A story only possible in films.. Celina also spoke about how everyday family relationships can sometimes be taken for granted, only for their importance to become clearer after loss. We take our relationships for granted. Our parents, our siblings, our children We go about our days complaining so passionately about the smallest things, never imagining that the ordinary moments we barely notice will one day become everything we long for. She added, Then life hits, and the world we knew is gone. Yet there is the photograph. Those faces. That love. And the unbearable longing to step inside it, just once more. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Celina Jaitly (@celinajaitlyofficial) A family marked by multiple losses Celina has experienced the loss of both her parents within a span of less than a year. Her father, Colonel Vikram Kumar Jaitly, a retired Indian Army officer, died on July 2, 2017, following a prolonged illness. Her mother, Dr. Meeta Jaitly, a child psychologist and literature professor, died on June 8, 2018, after battling cancer. The actor also lost her son Shamsher, one of her twin boys born in 2017. Shamsher died shortly after birth due to hypoplastic left heart syndrome, a severe congenital heart condition. His twin brother Arthur survived. Celina has previously spoken publicly about the impact of losing Shamsher and has continued to remember him through social media posts. Her recent family photograph comes at a particularly difficult period in her personal life. She is currently involved in divorce and custody proceedings with her estranged husband Peter Haag. Celina has publicly spoken about being separated from her three surviving sons, Winston, Viraaj and Arthur, who are in Austria. She has also expressed distress over missing important moments in their lives, including the beginning of the new school year. Celina Jaitlys ongoing family struggles Alongside the custody dispute, Celina has also been seeking information and communication concerning her brother, Major (Retd.) Vikrant Kumar Jaitly, who has been detained in the UAE since September 2024. The Delhi High Court had considered her petition seeking assistance and communication with him. In March 2026, the court closed that petition after a statement attributed to Vikrant during a consular visit was placed on record saying he did not wish to communicate with his sister. Celina has continued to speak publicly about the emotional toll of the circumstances surrounding her family. In a recent post about her brother, she referred to her parents no longer being alive and described him as someone whose absence has deeply affected her. In her latest post, however, Celina's focus remained on the photograph and what it represents to her. Reflecting on questions that have remained unanswered, she wrote, I dont know whether this is karma from a past life or some incomprehensible journey of the soul. No answer brings me comfort. No explanation makes the absence easier to bear. Concluding her note, she said, I have lost my most valuable treasures and this, my heart cannot accept.

Alia Bhatt reveals one Mahesh Bhatt quirk that annoys her: Now I do the exact same thing

Soni Razdan is currently promoting her recently released film Om Ka Hari, but a recent social media post gave fans a glimpse into her family dynamic with filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt and daughter Alia Bhatt. On September 17, Soni shared a video of Alia, seemingly recorded after a screening of the film, where the actor was asked about one quirk of her father that annoys her. Alia pointed out that having a conversation with her father can sometimes become confusing because he has a habit of mixing up the names of people around him. Its very difficult to have a smooth, easy, free-flowing conversation when he forgets who he's talking to and then calls me Shaheen and then sometimes Soni and then some other people that I've never heard of and then does the same thing with everyone else, Alia said. However, Alia admitted that what once annoyed her has now become a habit she has picked up herself. She added, But lo and behold, the apple doesn't fall very far from the tree, and now I do the exact same thing. So what's annoying is I've picked up on this quirk, and I've become this quirk. The conversation took another affectionate turn when Alia was asked when she had last told her father that she loved him. Instead of answering from memory, she decided to call him. Mahesh Bhatt happened to be at the same premises, at a preview theatre, and Alia called him on the spot. She then told him, I love you daddy. That was the last time. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Soni Razdan (@sonirazdan) Alia Bhatt on Mahesh Bhatts theatrical side Alia has previously spoken about her fathers distinctive personality and the memories she associates with growing up around him. In an earlier anecdote, she recalled how Mahesh Bhatt would use dramatic gestures to make ordinary moments memorable. My father is very theatrical and that sometimes makes for great memories. For example, when I was in 1st standard, I had a spelling test and I was worried I was, for some reason, going to forget the spelling of the. My father made it a point to build into my memory, so he did some overbearing gesture to teach me the spelling so I dont forget it. But I remember him being this, like, grizzly bear, highly theatrical and highly entertaining, she had said. Soni Razdan is part of Om Ka Hari, which releases theatrically on September 18. Directed by Harish Vyas and backed by First Ray Films, the film stars Anshuman Jha and Raghubir Yadav in the titular roles of Om and Hari.

Alia Bhatt recalls Rahas first word and her fight with Ranbir Kapoor over the milestone: I have it on video. So anybody who needs proof

Alia Bhatt has often spoken about how motherhood changed her life, and in a 2024 interview with Allure, the actor opened up about some of her most memorable moments with daughter Raha. From describing her daughters birth as the most precious moment of her life to recalling the playful competition between her and Ranbir Kapoor over Rahas first word, Alia offered a glimpse into their family life. Alia Bhatt recalls Ranbir Kapoors fight over Rahas first word While talking about Rahas early milestones, Alia revealed that she and Ranbir had a rather adorable disagreement at home over whether their daughter would say mama or papa first. The backstory is there was a fight at home (about) Whether she is going to say mama first or whether she is going to say papa first. So, of course, mama was like (say), mama, mama, mama, and papa was like (say), papa, papa, papa. And when she said that, it was just me and her, I immediately pulled out my phone and said, say it say it again, what did you just say. Raha eventually said mama first, much to Alias delight. The actor also revealed that she made sure to capture the moment on camera, giving the family a permanent record of the milestone. She added, We take great joy and pride in that moment. So, I remember that moment very clearly and I have it on video. So anybody who needs proof, she said mama first. Alia calls Rahas birth the most precious moment of her life In the same interview, Alia also opened up about the day Raha was born, describing it as an experience she would never forget. Alia said, Ill never forget in my life, no matter what happens, is the day our daughter was born. I wont forget the moment where we first heard her sound. It was unreal. When I heard her voice, I felt like I had met God or something. It was so emotional, sort of surreal. The minute she was put on to me, I just felt an immediate dam of love sort of burst open in our life and it just felt safe and it felt like my purpose had been met. (Ill) never ever forget that day. Alia and Ranbir welcomed their daughter on November 6, 2022. Since then, the couple have largely kept Raha away from the spotlight, while occasionally sharing glimpses of their family life.

Sara Ali Khan gives a peek into her New York Day off and the most New York things she does!

Sara Ali Khan is in New York for Fashion Week, where she is set to attend the Tommy Hilfiger Spring 2027 runway show. Ahead of the showcase, the actor spoke to Lifestyle Asia India about her approach to fashion, the pieces currently inspiring her, and how she likes to spend her time in the Big Apple. For Sara, personal style is less about following a fixed set of fashion rules and more about letting individuality take the lead. When asked about a fashion rule she has stopped following, she shared a simple philosophy: Impress other people, express yourself is my new one. She also believes that an outfit should complement the person wearing it rather than become the focus of attention. Just don't let the outfit wear you, be yourself in whatever you wear and then your personality will come through is what I think, Sara said. Sara Ali Khans current fashion moodboard While Sara has experimented with vibrant and colourful looks over the years, her current fashion moodboard is taking a more understated direction. The actor said she has been enjoying minimal silhouettes and a more restrained colour palette. Minimalistic, monotones, I'm enjoying that. I've done so much like colourful shock and awe in my life that it's kind of nice to do some basics, she said. Her current preference also reflects her broader approach to fashion. Rather than building her wardrobe around every new trend, Sara said she prefers dressing in a way that feels comfortable and authentic. I don't never really follow trends, I think just be yourself and be comfortable in your own skin has been what I do, she said. From fashion staples to everyday favourites When it comes to the pieces she is most drawn to, Sara has a soft spot for practical wardrobe staples. Asked about her biggest fashion weakness between shoes, bags, jewellery and jackets, she picked two. Well, I love winter jackets and I like tote bags, so it's between the two depending on where I'm going, she said. For the one fashion piece she believes everyone should own, Sara chose a classic from the brand she is set to watch on the runway. I think a Tommy Hilfiger cable net, she said, referring to the label's cable-knit style. What would be on Saras fashion soundtrack? Fashion and music often go hand in hand, and Sara took a personal route when asked what song would accompany her outfit for the evening. My outfit tonight, I don't know something like reminds me, maybe my Columbia school anthem, she said. The answer is also a nod to her connection with New York. Sara studied at Columbia University and has previously spoken about her time in the city. Sara Ali Khans Perfect New York Day For Sara, a day off in New York is not necessarily about ticking off tourist attractions. Her ideal day involves a mix of exercise, food and plenty of walking. Barry's Boot Camp, Whole Foods, Mamo, walking, more walking, some desserts, some more Mamo, then you're too tired for Barry's Boot Camp, she said. Having lived in the city, Sara also finds that some of the most quintessentially New York experiences are the everyday ones. Asked about the most New York thing she has done on this trip, she said, I've lived here, so I don't know like what the most New York thing is, like take a subway, talk to a stranger, eat a pizza on the road, just these things. From keeping her fashion moodboard minimal to choosing comfort and individuality over trends, Saras approach to style appears to be rooted in making fashion work for her rather than the other way around. And as she heads to the Tommy Hilfiger Spring 2027 showcase, her current fashion philosophy seems to be less about making a statement for others and more about expressing herself.
