28 Years of Kuch Kuch Hota Hai: Kajol brings back Anjalis magic with a new picture
Nearly three decades after Kuch Kuch Hota Hai introduced audiences to Anjali, Kajols portrayal of the character continues to hold a special place in the hearts of fans. Known for her humour, lively personality and emotional journey, Anjali remains one of the memorable characters in Hindi cinema. Marking 28 years of the film, Kajol took to Instagram to share a new picture of herself in a red hoodie, bringing back memories of her much-loved character. Sharing the picture, Kajol wrote, Can magic ever be recreated? Heres Anjali a couple of years later. Her playful caption revisited the characters enduring appeal, while the red hoodie and her overall look reminded fans of Anjalis signature tomboy style. The post also offered an opportunity to look back at a film that continues to resonate with audiences years after its release. Released in 1998, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai was directed by Karan Johar and featured Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol and Rani Mukerji in lead roles. The romantic drama became known for its memorable characters and emotional storyline, with Kajols Anjali emerging as one of its highlights. Her portrayal brought together humour, friendship and vulnerability, making the character relatable to audiences across generations. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Kajol Devgan (@kajol) Anjalis bond with Rahul, played by Shah Rukh Khan, and her journey through love and friendship were central to the films story. Over the years, the character has remained a familiar part of popular culture, with her distinctive style and personality continuing to evoke nostalgia among viewers. Kajol has since appeared in a range of films and explored different roles throughout her career. Most recently, she was seen in Maa, a film that presented her in a different setting from the romantic drama that helped establish Anjali as a memorable screen character. Her anniversary post serves as a reminder of the lasting connection audiences have with certain film characters. Twenty-eight years after Kuch Kuch Hota Hai was released, Anjali continues to be remembered by fans, and Kajols latest picture has brought the character back into focus.

Veteran actress Saira Banu took to social media to wish Hema Malini on her birthday, sharing memories of their friendship and experiences in the film industry. From laughter-filled encounters with Rekha to a memorable mahurat shot featuring Dharmendra and Shashi Kapoor, Sairas note reflected on Hemas lively personality and the moments they shared over the years. She also remembered Dharmendra, who was closely associated with several cherished chapters of Hemas life. Recalling her friendship with Hema Malini and Rekha, Saira spoke about their meetings at film gatherings during the 1970s and their shared interest in fitness and yoga. She also recounted an amusing incident when she and Hema tried using an exercise instrument designed to broaden their shoulders. Saira Banu wrote, The three of us, Hema, Rekha and I, have always shared a rather special bond. Of course, age-wise, I am the senior of the three! Hema entered Hindi films with Sapno Ka Saudagar in 1968, followed by Rekha with Saawan Bhadon in 1970. Through the 70s, we would often meet at film gatherings, premieres and functions, sharing stories, laughter and our many common interests. One such interest was exercise! We were all rather dedicated to fitness and yoga, perhaps among the first heroines of our time to take it so seriously. I remember Hema and I once trying an exercise instrument meant to broaden our shoulders. We were so enthusiastic that we literally puffed them up! One look at each other and we burst into laughter, realising we had certainly overdone it. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Saira Banu Khan (@sairabanu) Saira also shared another humorous memory from a visit by Hema to her home. On that occasion, an uncle accompanying Hema accidentally walked into a large transparent glass door, causing it to come crashing down. Although the incident initially left everyone alarmed, Hemas laughter soon turned the situation into a moment of shared amusement. Recalling the incident, she wrote, Hema has always been wonderfully vivacious in the company of friends. I remember her visiting my home with an Uncle who failed to notice a large transparent glass door and walked straight into it, bringing the entire thing crashing down! While we were all alarmed, Hema broke into such uncontrollable laughter that soon we were laughing along with her. The veteran actress also revisited a mahurat shot for Ramanand Sagar Ji, which brought Hema, Dharmendra, Shashi Kapoor and Saira together. She remembered how Hemas playful teasing of Shashi continued even as the camera was about to roll, leaving everyone struggling to contain their laughter. Recalling the moment, Saira wrote, Another memory I treasure is of a Mahurat Shot for Ramanand Sagar ji, where Hema, Dharam ji, Shashi Kapoor and I were together. Hema was teasing Shashi with her usual mischief, and even as the camera was ready to roll, we simply couldnt stop laughing. That was Hema, full of life, laughter and delightful spontaneity! Behind the magnificent artiste, the graceful dancer and the Dream Girl adored by millions, I have always known a warm, affectionate and wonderfully playful woman. Sairas birthday message also included an emotional reflection on Dharmendra and the memories he and Hema had made together. Acknowledging that this birthday might feel different for Hema, she expressed her affection for her friend and spoke about how shared experiences continue to hold meaning over time. She wrote, As I sit down to write this birthday note for you, Hema, my heart is filled with memories of the wonderful years we have shared. This year, I find myself thinking of Dharam ji too, who was such an inseparable part of so many beautiful moments in your life. I know this birthday will feel different, but the love and memories of a lifetime have a beautiful way of staying with us. Concluding her message, Saira wished Hema good health, happiness and peace. She also hoped that the affection of those around her and the memories she shared with Dharmendra would bring her comfort. My dear Hema, this birthday may feel a little different, but I hope you find comfort in the love surrounding you and the countless beautiful memories you and Dharam ji created together. Some bonds are far too precious for time or distance to ever diminish. From the golden days of our cinema to the little moments away from the cameras, our friendship has given me memories I shall always treasure. On your birthday, I send you all my affection and prayers for good health, happiness, and peace. May that beautiful, infectious laughter of yours continue to fill every room you enter. Stay blessed, my dearest Hema. You will always be our Dream Girl, not just on screen, but in the hearts of those fortunate enough to know you.

GV Prakash Kumar joins Ramayana as a singer: I got a call from AR Rahman
Composer, singer and actor GV Prakash Kumar has revealed that he has lent his voice to Yashs Ravana in Nitesh Tiwaris Ramayana. In an exclusive conversation with India Today Digital, GV Prakash opened up about how he became part of the film, revealing that he received an unexpected call from his mentor AR Rahman shortly after returning from Ayodhya. The opportunity came as a surprise for the musician, who described being associated with the epic as a significant experience. GV Prakash had travelled to Ayodhya for the launch of Awadhiya Ke Raja, a song from his recently released Hindi film Nayyi Navelli, starring Yami Gautam. His first visit to the city became even more memorable when he received the call inviting him to sing for Ramayana. He said, The moment I came back from Ayodhya, I sang a song for Ramayana. It was surreal. I never expected that, he said. Recalling how the opportunity came about, he added, I didn't know beforehand. While I was coming back from the airport, I got a call from AR Rahman asking me to come and sing. GV Prakash Kumar, who is AR Rahmans maternal nephew, began his musical journey as a child singer in his uncles compositions before establishing himself as a composer and singer. However, his association with Ramayana was specifically as a vocalist. He also disclosed that he has lent his voice to Yashs character, Ravana, adding another detail to his involvement in the film. Reflecting on the opportunity, GV Prakash said, The world of the film is what drives us to it. I'm happy to have done a small part in the film. I'm a singer; I was called to sing for Ramayana. It was a huge thing for me to be part of this film, he said. The musician also spoke about his first visit to Ayodhya, which had taken place just before the recording opportunity came his way. Explaining why the team chose the city for the song launch, he said, We launched the song in Ayodhya, so we thought it would be special to go there and launch it. It was my first time in Ayodhya, and it was very special for me to be there, he said. During the conversation, GV Prakash also discussed his approach to composing music for films, explaining that the script and the filmmakers vision guide his decisions about the sound. First, it's the genre, then the story, and then the sound. The sound is derived from the script. The first narration is very important because that's where we decide the sound, its structure and the sound world of the film, he explained. His association with Hindi cinema includes projects such as Anurag Kashyaps Gangs of Wasseypur and Akshay Kumars Sarfira, followed by Nayyi Navelli. He also expressed admiration for composer Hans Zimmer, naming him as someone he would like to collaborate with. With Zimmer involved in the music of Ramayana, GV Prakashs singing contribution brings him into the musical world of a project connected to that aspiration. Meanwhile, the second trailer for Nitesh Tiwaris Ramayana: Part 1 was unveiled in Bengaluru on October 15. The promo features Ranbir Kapoor as Rama, who vows to destroy evil, while Yashs Ravana declares himself the ruler of the three realms. It also offers glimpses of Sai Pallavi as Sita and Jatayus attempt to stop Ravana.

Russell Brand trial: why the documentary behind the case won't be shown to the jury
Highlights The judge told jurors the allegations in the 2023 documentary have never been tested in any court, and that the film will not be shown to them He said the defence may argue the programme caused the women to wist their memories, and described it as one-sided and dramatic in manner Two of the complainants have now been cross-examined: the first on Thursday, another on Friday Reuters says the trial is now expected to last around six weeks The judge's ruling At the start of Thursday's hearing, Mr Justice Bennathan turned to the programme at the centre of the case. All six complainants came forward after the 2023 documentary, he told the jury, and that is why it is relevant. According to Sky News, he told jurors the allegations featured in it have ever been tested in any court, and he warned that the defence may suggest it caused the women to wist their memory of events. He also gave his own view of the film, calling it one-sided and dramatic in manner, and ruled it would not be shown to the jury. The women whose accounts appeared in it but who are not part of this trial play no role in the case. In practice, the jury will weigh what it hears in court, not what was broadcast in 2023. The Crown Prosecution Service has reminded everyone that criminal proceedings are active and that no commentary or sharing of information online should prejudice them. How the prosecution framed the case Prosecutor Riel Karmy-Jones KC opened on Wednesday by telling the jury that the six women do not know each other and came forward independently. She described Brand as ruthless, calculating and manipulative and, in the prosecution's words, a sexual predator, and said his desire for sexual contact was indiscriminate and voracious. The alleged assaults, she said, took place in a hotel room, workplaces, a toilet cubicle in a bar and at his home. None of the women reported what happened at the time, Karmy-Jones said, because of guilt, shame and fear of being blamed. On several allegations, the prosecution said, Brand told police he did not remember the incident, if it had happened, and in a prepared statement he denied any non-consensual activity and said accounts of his conduct had been reinvented after the documentary. The first witnesses On Thursday the jury of eight men and four women watched the first complainant's video-recorded police interview. She was then cross-examined for nearly two hours by Brand's barrister, Ian Winter KC, according to Reuters. She told the court she found Brand frightening, angrily rejected the suggestion that they had had consensual sex, and said the documentary was what prompted her to go to the police. On Friday, another woman told the court Brand had tried to drag her into a toilet cubicle at her workplace. She did not report it at the time, she said, believing it would be her word against his. How the defence is testing the evidence Winter's questions so far follow three lines. He has put it to the first complainant that she is not telling the truth and would have left the room if she had been in danger. He has suggested to her that they had consensual sex, which she angrily rejected. And he has argued that the women's view of events changed after they saw the documentary. Winter put it to Friday's witness that the incident was short-lived, that Brand accepted she was not consenting, and that her view of it shifted after the programme. Brand denies all the charges. What happens next The prosecution will keep calling evidence, including from the remaining complainants, before the defence sets out its case. Reuters now puts the trial at around six weeks, shorter than the 10 to 12 weeks first reported, which would point to late November. For the charges, the case history and who Brand is, see our guide to the trial . The complainants are legally entitled to lifelong anonymity, and the allegations remain unproven.

Rise and Fall Season 2 witnessed two exits, Karan Patels return and a major reshuffle of teams in its latest developments. As Raj Grover and Kaira Anu bid farewell to the show, Karan returned to the game, prompting the Rulers to decide whether he would rejoin them in the Penthouse or enter the Basement as a Worker. Meanwhile, fresh alliances and disagreements began to alter the existing power dynamics. Kairas exit proved emotional for Manish Kashyap, who broke down as she said goodbye. Karans return, meanwhile, brought a change in the mood of the house. The Rulers voted on his position, with the majority choosing to welcome him back to the Penthouse. Rishabh Jaiswal was the only one to take a different stance. After returning, Karan reconnected with Niharika Tiwari, and the two discussed game strategy, including how they could use Shehzad Poonawalla to their advantage. Elsewhere, Irina Rudakova confronted Shehzad over comments that had made her feel intimidated. The exchange ended with Shehzad acknowledging the misunderstanding and apologising. Tensions also surfaced between Manish Kashyap and Gautam Gulati following a disagreement over a joke. At the same time, some Workers questioned Sonam Khans alignment with Gautam, adding to the uncertainty surrounding loyalties within the house. The game then underwent a major change through the Batwara twist, which divided both the Penthouse and the Basement into two teams. Under Ultimate Ruler Niharikas watch, the Penthouse teams comprised Shehzad, Swara Bhasker and Sara Gurpal on one side, and Karan, Irina and Rishabh on the other. In the Basement, Gautam, Jashwant Singh and Priyanka Chahar Choudhary formed one team, while Sonam, Manish and Kajal Raghwani made up the other. The contestants were subsequently asked to build alliances across the divide. Karan, Rishabh and Irina joined Gautam, Priyanka and Jashwant, while Shehzad, Swara and Sara teamed up with Manish, Kajal and Sonam. However, the new arrangement soon led to a disagreement. Sara questioned Priyankas willingness to participate in the game. Priyanka maintained that the Workers had decided not to play for Gautam, but Sara accused her of lying. The exchange highlighted the differences emerging among the contestants as the team structure changed. With Karan back in the Penthouse and the Batwara twist bringing new combinations into play, the contestants now face a revised set of alliances and rivalries. How these teams perform under pressure remains to be seen. Produced by Banijay Asia, Rise and Fall Season 2 is hosted by Virender Sehwag and streams free, exclusively on Prime Video, with new episodes released daily at 12 noon. The show is also available through MX Player by Prime Video on the MX Player Android app, as well as on mobile devices, Connected TVs, the Amazon shopping app, Prime Video and Fire TV.

From Desi Fits to Vacay Vibes: Tamannaah Bhatia has a jewellery moodboard for every occasion
Some days, putting an outfit together feels effortless, while on others, even trying on half your wardrobe may not help you find the right look. There are also times when the outfit is sorted but still needs something extra to feel complete. Thats where Tamannaahs style offers some inspiration. The right jewellery can bring an entire look together, and these four outfit moods, inspired by her personal style, are worth bookmarking. For My Desi Fits That Deserve A Little Extra Drama When it comes to traditional dressing, statement jewellery can make all the difference. A saree or an intricately detailed ethnic ensemble already makes an impression, but the right accessories can add to the overall look. Tamannaah demonstrates this with emerald and diamond chandelier drop earrings paired with a heavily embroidered traditional outfit. Whether its a festive celebration, a family gathering or a wedding function, statement jewellery can add a finishing touch to your ensemble. For When Vacay Mode Is Officially ON Holiday dressing calls for breezy outfits, relaxed silhouettes and looks that work from a slow morning to sunset plans. While packing light is often the priority, there is no need to leave your favourite jewellery behind. Tamannaah pairs a simple black top with a gold charm necklace featuring starfish and shell pendants, chunky gold bangles and a pearl cluster ring from her jewellery lines latest collection. The combination offers an easy styling option for holiday outfits. The key is to keep the look effortless, allowing the jewellery to add a touch of sparkle without taking away from the relaxed holiday vibe. For My Casual Office Fits That Need A Little Something Office dressing doesnt always have to be understated. The right accessories can add character to everyday workwear, and jewellery need not be reserved for special occasions. Tamannaah offers inspiration with pearl and gold charm necklaces that can be layered or worn individually, gold and diamond bracelets styled together or separately, and multiple rings worn across her fingers. These pieces add warmth and personality to formal outfits, offering a way to make everyday office looks feel more considered without compromising on a professional appearance. For My I Don't Know What To Wear Kinda Day We all know the feeling of having a full wardrobe but nothing to wear, even when plans are already in place. Before changing your outfit for the third time, switching up your accessories might be all you need. For days when deciding on a look feels difficult, Tamannaah offers an option with a layered blue enamel and gold chain charm necklace featuring a sculptural bird pendant and smoky stone drops, paired with chunky gold pav hoop earrings. The combination adds character to a simple office look, with the blue enamel links bringing a pop of colour and the charm pendants adding a playful touch. Together, these details make an otherwise basic outfit feel more put together. From traditional outfits and holiday looks to everyday workwear and last-minute wardrobe dilemmas, jewellery can be the finishing touch that brings an ensemble together. Tamannaahs styling shows how accessories can be incorporated into everyday dressing rather than reserved only for special occasions.

Sa Re Ga Ma Pa 2026 continues to build on its identity as Hindustan Ka Sangeetsthan. Four weeks after its return, the music reality show has drawn attention for its competitive performances, elaborate stage setup and singers representing different parts of the country. The upcoming episode will celebrate Kumar Sanus 69th birthday with a musical tribute to his songs, taking viewers back to the popular melodies of the 1990s. The episode begins with Ae Kaash Ke Hum, setting the tone for an evening of nostalgia. Contestant Durgesh Yadav performs Mera Dil Bhi Kitna Pagal Hai, after which Kumar Sanu joins him on stage. Mir Zulfikar follows with Der Na Ho Jaaye, while Kadamb Chauhan performs Tu Mile Dil Khile. His rendition earns appreciation from Kumar Sanu, who rewards him with cash. Gitashree Chowdhury then takes the stage with Gawah Hai Chand Taare, a song originally sung by Kumar Sanu and Alka Yagnik. The performance also brings back memories of Kumar Sanus musical association with Alka Yagnik. Having recorded more than 500 duets together, the two singers have contributed to a catalogue of songs that continues to find listeners across generations. Gitashrees rendition prompts Kumar Sanu to recall his time working with Alka Yagnik and the place she holds in his musical journey. He becomes emotional while remembering their association, appreciates the contestants performance and sings a few lines of the song as a tribute to his longtime singing partner. With Alka Yagnik currently recovering from a rare sensorineural hearing loss condition, the moment carries added emotional significance. Speaking about her health and their musical journey, Kumar Sanu shared, As many of you know, Alka ji is not keeping well, and that makes me very emotional. Some of the most romantic songs of my career have been with Alka ji, and her brilliance as a singer needs no introduction. I sincerely hope she recovers soon and returns to join us in front of all of you once again. Listening to this song brought back so many memories of our time together, especially the way we recorded it and the beautiful musical moments we shared. It truly saddens me to know that she is unwell. Through this performance, I would like to pay tribute to her by singing a few lines of this song, with the hope that she gets well soon and we get to hear her magical voice again. Beyond the birthday celebration, the current season has introduced a larger stage format featuring a 360-degree setup, more than 100 musicians and an extensive chorus ensemble. These elements contribute to the scale of the performances. Host Shreyas Talpade brings his spontaneous style and energetic presence to the show, connecting the musical performances with the entertainment segments. The upcoming episode combines Kumar Sanus birthday celebrations with a tribute to the music of the 1990s, revisiting familiar songs and memories from his career while also acknowledging his long association with Alka Yagnik.

Shanaya Kapoor took on showstopper duties for OBLIQUE, bringing the collections theme of alter egos to the runway. The actress appeared in a champagne-and-silver embellished ensemble that combined a contemporary silhouette with Art Deco-inspired detailing. The showcase explored ideas of identity and hidden personas through reflective elements, fluid silhouettes and structured designs. Kapoors outfit featured a cropped bustier with a plunging sweetheart neckline, wide straps and a cut-out at the midriff. Paired with a fitted column skirt, the ensemble stood out for its metallic embellishments and geometric embroidery. The skirt featured a chevron-patterned waistband, with detailing extending into geometric motifs and vertical beadwork. She completed the look with diamond cluster earrings, dewy makeup and her shoulder-length brunette bob styled in loose, windswept waves. The appearance added another fashion outing to Kapoors growing public profile. Her association with OBLIQUE also brought her into a collection centred on contrasts, using reflective textures and structured silhouettes to interpret the idea of an alter ego. Rather than relying on elaborate accessories, the look kept the focus on the ensemble, with its champagne-and-silver palette tying the different elements together. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Pernia's Pop-Up Shop (@perniaspopupshop) Away from the runway, Kapoor has been building her screen career through projects across Hindi and regional cinema.

She has also been linked to Zombie Reddy 2 (NXT LVL), the Telugu horror-comedy sequel directed by Suparn Varma.

Actor Shefali Shah has spent years bringing other peoples stories to life on screen. With her debut book, The Audacity of Being: A Sort-of Memoir, published on October 1, 2026, she turns her attention to her own experiences, perspectives and the choices that have shaped her life and career. In an interview with Bollywood Hungama, Shefali opened up about what prompted her to write the book, why she initially considered fiction instead of a memoir, and how she decided which parts of her personal life to share. She also explained why humour was an important part of the writing process and how her experiences as an actor eventually became part of the narrative. Why Shefali Shah decided to write her own story Writing was not an entirely new pursuit for Shefali. The actor had previously maintained a blog and regularly shared her thoughts on social media. Ive been writing for quite some time. I had a blog, and I write on social media. I enjoy it. Im not waiting for someone else to give me something to do. I put in what I feel, what is my perception of things, she said. Although the idea of a book had been suggested to her before, Shefali said, I wanted to start with fiction. And they were like, your first book has to be a novel. It cant be a novella. And we want you to, your first book should be a memoir. So I was not very convinced with it. Shefali eventually considered the suggestion, acknowledging that her publisher had more experience in the business. She also found a sense of ownership in being able to tell her own story in her own words. I have copyright over my own story, she said. The actor added that she has written some fiction, although she is unsure what will happen to that work in the future. Why humour was important to her memoir Shefali also wanted The Audacity of Being: A Sort-of Memoir to be an engaging read rather than a serious account that offered definitive conclusions about life. Humour, she explained, was central to the tone she wanted to establish. I didnt want it to be a moral of the story. And very important, I wanted it to be a fun read, she said. She added that she wanted humour to play a significant role in the book, allowing readers to move through the stories easily rather than feel that they were being told what to think or learn. How Shefali Shahs acting career became part of the book The book did not begin with a fixed structure or a single subject that Shefali wanted to explore. As she worked on the manuscript, conversations with her publisher encouraged her to revisit other aspects of her life. Originally, when it started, it was becoming a personal memoir. But then we also realised that the parts I play are a huge part of me as a person and why I chose them and what went into creating them. And thats how those chapters started coming, she said. Shefali explained that the memoir gradually evolved as these different elements came together, rather than following a rigid plan from the beginning. It was all of it just put together, she said. Ultimately, the actor has left the interpretation of her experiences to her readers. She does not expect the book to offer one definitive message or a prescribed takeaway. I dont know what people are going to take out of it, she said. With The Audacity of Being: A Sort-of Memoir, Shefali Shah brings together her personal reflections and professional experiences while leaving room for readers to form their own understanding of the stories she shares.

Actor Shefali Shah believes that sharing personal stories also comes with a responsibility to respect the privacy of the people involved. While her debut book, The Audacity of Being: A Sort-of Memoir, offers readers a glimpse into her life and experiences, she has been mindful of how much she reveals about the people closest to her, including her husband, filmmaker Vipul Amrutlal Shah, her children and her friends. In an exclusive conversation with Bollywood Hungama, Shefali spoke about the decisions she made while writing the memoir, explaining that she consulted her sons before including chapters about them. One of the big things was when it is about, lets say, Vipul. Or the kids. Or a certain friend. Its their story as well. So I have to maintain that respect, she explained. Shefali Shah seeks her sons permission before sharing their pictures online For Shefali, writing about her family was not a decision she could make entirely on her own. She acknowledged, When I was thinking of certain things, when I wanted to write my kids chapters, I asked the boys. I mean, I have to take their permission even to put a photograph on social media. So I asked them, and they were like, Okay, about this, not about this. The same consideration informed her writing process. Rather than treating her memoir as an account of her experiences alone, Shefali recognised that the people who have been part of her journey have their own perspectives and personal boundaries. I was very clear that this is not about picking on anyone. This is what I feel. Is it right or wrong? I dont know. This is the way Ive lived my life. This is how it is. This is my perception of things. Im not saying this is the right thing, she said. Why Shefali Shah chose not to share certain details in her memoir While a memoir invites readers into an authors personal world, Shefali said she did not approach the book with a fixed set of rules about what she would or would not disclose. Instead, she relied on her own comfort level when deciding which experiences to include. Asked how she determined what she would not reveal, the actor explained that the decision was straightforward. If she did not feel comfortable discussing something, she chose not to write about it. It was what doesn't work for me. I mean, there wasn't a it was just like, no, I don't want to talk about it. It's really as simple as that, she said. And that's exactly how I chose it. So there wasn't like, you know, there isn't a line as such. It is my story. I am telling it. I'm telling it as honestly as I want, she said. The actor also emphasised that honesty remained essential to the writing process. While she was comfortable leaving certain details out, she did not want to include anything that was untrue. And the thought was that if I put in something, it won't be false. That's that was primary. It can't be false. So there might be something I don't want to talk about. I won't talk about it. But it can't be false, she added.

Shefali Shah opened up about her admiration for Amitabh Bachchan, recalling his kindness and the personal gestures that have stayed with her over the years. In an exclusive conversation with Bollywood Hungama, Shefali spoke about her interactions with the veteran actor and how he makes people feel valued through small but meaningful gestures. Speaking about her continued admiration for Bachchan, Shefali said, I am in awe even today. Even today, when I meet Amit, I am in complete awe. There is no one like him. Theres just no one like him. Recalling her appearance on Kaun Banega Crorepati some time ago, Shefali spoke about the way Bachchan greeted her and how his gesture left an impression on her. She explained that he did not need to make an extra effort to make her feel welcome, as even a simple greeting would have been enough. She said, I did an episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati quite some time ago, and the way he greeted me was so cool. He doesnt have to do that. Even if he had simply greeted me in his gorgeous baritone, saying, How are you?, that would have been good enough. Shefali also recalled how Bachchan checked on her when she contracted COVID-19. Revealing that he stayed in touch with her throughout the week, she said, When I got COVID, he messaged me every single morning for that one week. However, Shefali's husband, Vipul Amrutlal Shah, had a different take on Bachchan's daily messages. She recalled how he jokingly suggested that the actor might have created a broadcast group for people who had contracted COVID-19, adding and removing people depending on their recovery, while sending the same message to everyone. Shefali said she shared Vipul's observation with Bachchan, who responded with a remark that highlighted the personal nature of their conversations. Recalling the exchange, Shefali said, Initially, I thought someone had told him to do it, so I mentioned it to him. He said, Tell him to keep out of our conversation. (laughs) But he didnt need to do that. He really didnt. Shefali further revealed that she has kept letters written to her by Bachchan, including those she received around the time her children were born. Highlighting his habit of adding a personal touch to his gifts, she said, He is amazing. I have letters that he has written to me, too. One of the most memorable occasions was when my children were born. I have those letters, and whenever he sends a gift, it comes with a personalised letter. He even remembers little details about my children from when they were babies. Even now, when he meets you, he remembers those things. That is what makes him so special. Its incredible. Through these recollections, Shefali highlighted how Bachchan's thoughtfulness extends beyond professional interactions. For her, his ability to remember personal details and maintain connections over the years is what makes him stand out.

Yash spoke about the global ambitions and cultural significance of Ramayana at the launch of the films second trailer in Bengaluru. The actor and co-producer explained that the team has approached the project with devotion and aims to introduce Indias history, heritage and culture to audiences across the world. Produced by Namit Malhotra and directed by Nitesh Tiwari, Ramayana is among the major film releases planned for 2026. The film has drawn attention with the release of its promotional material, including its teaser and trailers. The team recently gathered in Bengaluru for the launch of its second trailer, where Yash, who is backing the project through Monster Mind Creations, spoke about the vision behind the two-part epic. During the event, Yash emphasised that the team views the film as more than a conventional cinematic project. He also highlighted the role of devotion in bringing the story to the screen and explained that sharing the Indian epic with international audiences has been a central part of the team's approach. He said, Everyone has spoken about the film. You all have an idea. But I would like to say a few things. Ramayana. We have not treated it like a movie. Everyone who has come here is an artist. Everyone has got an opportunity through devotion. We have all worked with the vision that our story should be told to the world. Yash also addressed questions about the decision to present the Indian epic on an international scale. He said that while India's identity remains central to the project, it is equally important for the country to share its cultural heritage and history with a wider audience. Many people might ask, what happened? Why did you make it international? First India, right? India is important. But I think, as Indians, we all have to understand how much we respect ourselves, how much we respect our culture; at the same time, we should let the whole world know what we are made up of, what we represent, and who we truly are. What is our history? What is our culture? If someone else says it, you cannot say it. Or if we sit here and say we are good in our own way, it is of no use, Yash stated. Through his remarks, Yash underlined the importance of presenting Indian stories to a global audience while retaining their cultural roots. The makers aim to combine large-scale filmmaking, visual effects and storytelling to bring the epic to cinemas worldwide. Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, Ramayana is produced by Namit Malhotra's Prime Focus Studios in association with DNEG, which has won eight Academy Awards, and Yash's Monster Mind Creations. Planned as a two-part cinematic adaptation, the film will release worldwide in IMAX.

Sara Ali Khan has often brought a distinctly individual approach to fashion, balancing traditional Indian silhouettes with a more relaxed, contemporary sensibility. In a recent conversation with Hello! India, the actor opened up about her reading habits, personal style and the wardrobe pieces that hold sentimental value for her. A history and political science graduate from Columbia University in New York, she revealed that reading remains a regular part of her routine, even during a busy cover shoot. I love Chitra Banerjee Divakarunis work. Im currently re-reading The Last Queen. I also love Elif Shafaks The Forty Rules of Love, she shared. Sara Ali Khans fashion philosophy When it comes to fashion, Sara appears to favour comfort and individuality over simply following what is trending. Asked to describe her style in three words, she chose Comfy, traditional, and unique. Her answers to a quick fashion round further highlighted the same approach. While Balenciaga is her favourite fashion brand and Manish Malhotra is the designer she can rely on, Sara has a clear preference when it comes to everyday footwear and occasion dressing. Between sneakers and heels, she picks sneakers. And when asked to choose between sarees and sequins, her answer was far more rooted in classic Indian dressing: Churidar-kurta! Sara also revealed that she has never been particularly interested in following trends. Ive never really followed trends, she said. A wardrobe with a personal connection Among the most treasured pieces in Saras wardrobe are not necessarily designer creations. She holds on to her grandmothers heirloom sarees, which were passed down to her by her mother. The most treasured items in my wardrobe? My nanis heirloom sarees that my mom gave me, she shared. The personal significance attached to these pieces appears to extend to her own fashion choices as well. When asked about her last fashion purchase, Sara revealed that it was not for herself. She bought a black leather Ralph Lauren overcoat for her mother. The outfit that makes Sara feel confident For Sara, confidence comes from an outfit that is comfortable while still retaining a strong connection to Indian craftsmanship. Her instant confidence pick is a white chikankari salwar-kameez. The choice fits into the broader style philosophy she described, one that combines comfort with traditional elements. It also sits alongside her preference for churidar-kurtas and her attachment to heirloom sarees. When it comes to celebrity style, however, Sara looks beyond understated dressing. Asked whose fashion she admires, she named Ranveer Singh. From sneakers over heels to heirloom sarees over fleeting trends, Saras answers suggest that her approach to fashion is less about following a defined rulebook and more about choosing pieces that feel comfortable, personal and distinctive.
