Govinda breaks silence on viral Lalbaugcha Raja Video with Roopa co-star Komal Rani; Rakhi Sawant asks actor to reconcile with Sunita Ahuja

Govinda has addressed the ongoing discussion surrounding a viral video of him visiting the Lalbaugcha Raja Ganpati pandal with actress Komal Rani, who will be seen as the leading lady in his upcoming film Roopa. The actor clarified that his visit with his co-star was part of a promotional activity and pointed out that he has done similar outings with actresses in the past. Speaking to ANI about the reaction to the videos, Govinda said, Log toh aise react kar rahe haiMain Roopa film ke liye prarthana kar raha tha. Main isse pehle Karisma (Kapoor) ke saath gaya tha, voh good luck raha tha mera, films hit hue thi. Raveena ke saath bhi gaya tha, film hit hue thi. Iss time main Rani ke saath gaya hu. Praarthana ki hai (People are reacting in this way I was praying for my film Roopa. Earlier, I had gone with Karisma Kapoor, which turned out to be good luck for me and the films were hits. I also went with Raveena, and that film was a hit. This time, I went with Rani. I have offered my prayers). The actor also questioned the attention surrounding the visit and maintained that there was no reason for the outing to become a subject of controversy. Pata nahi kya logo ko kasht hai? Shuru ho raha hai toh uspe itna charcha kaise hai. Hum famous ho rahe hai toh aapko kya taqleef hai (I dont know what people have a problem with. It is just beginning, so why is there so much discussion around it? If we are becoming famous, what problem do you have with that?), he said. Meanwhile, actress-dancer Rakhi Sawant also reacted to the viral video and urged Govinda to reconsider the optics of his public appearance with Komal Rani. Sharing several videos on Instagram, Rakhi appealed to the actor to take Sunita Ahuja along with him instead. Ye bahot galat baat hai Govinda ji. Apni biwi ko le ke jana chahiye, jiske sath aap 40 saal gujare (This is very wrong, Govinda ji. You should have taken your wife, with whom you have spent 40 years), Rakhi said. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Timesapplaud trends (@timesapplaudtrends_) In another video, she directly addressed Govinda, saying, Are Chichi bhaiya, kya ho gaya aapko? Itne bade Lalbaugcha ke Ganpati mein aap wo Rupa, Komal ko lekar gaye (Oh Chichi brother, what has happened to you? At such a big Lalbaugcha Ganpati, you went with that Rupa, Komal ) She further questioned the identity of his co-star and asked him to spend time with Sunita. Kaun hai wo? Aap apni biwi ko lekar ghumo na, Sunita ji ko (Who is she? You should go around with your wife, Sunita ji), Rakhi added. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Kishan Panday (@kisan_pandey123456) Appealing for reconciliation, Rakhi said, Wo bhi khamosh ho gayi hai. Subh ka bhula shaam ko ghar aa jaye to usko bhula nahi kehte. Aap sab kuch bhul jao yar (She has also become silent. If someone who loses their way in the morning returns home by evening, they are not considered lost. Forget everything, please). The latest discussion comes amid increased public attention around Govinda and Sunita Ahuja. Before this, Sunita had made a comment to paparazzi comparing the loyalty of animals with humans. Around the same time, Govindas nephew Krushna Abhisheks wife Kashmera Shah also shared a cryptic Instagram note touching upon heartbreak, infidelity and loyalty.

Rajkummar Rao recently opened up about his early days and the actors who inspired him during an appearance on Kaun Banega Crorepati Season 18. The actor, who appeared on the show along with Wamiqa Gabbi and Ujjawal Nikam, spoke to host Amitabh Bachchan about his admiration for Shah Rukh Khan and his initial days in Mumbai. During the conversation, Amitabh Bachchan asked Rajkummar about Shah Rukh Khan, especially since both actors share a connection with Delhi. Rajkummar recalled how Shah Rukhs journey from Delhi to becoming a Bollywood star had inspired him to pursue acting. He said, Sir, jaise ki woh khud Delhi se hain aur maine bhi kaafi kam umar mein soch liya tha ki mujhe acting karni hain. Aur ek aur baat Sir, mere mummy ke kamre mein humesha aapki ek poster hoti thi kyuki aap heen sabse number one rahe hain aur aap se hum sab inspire hue hain. Toh jaise main keh raha tha, Shah Rukh Sir ke journey se kaafi inspire hua main, ki kaise ek ladka Delhi se nikala ek middle class family se, phir theatre kiya aur TV mein itne saare shows kiye aur fir bohot bada superstar ban gaya. Toh jab main pehli baar jab Mumbai aaya tha ek show keliye aaya tha par waha selection nahi hua lekin main humesha aapke bunglow ke saamne aur Mannat ke samne khada rehta tha. Rajkummar also recalled that his first visit to Mumbai was for an audition for a show, but he was not selected. He added that during those early days, he would often stand outside Amitabh Bachchans bungalow and Shah Rukh Khans residence, Mannat. Amitabh Bachchan also shared his experience of working with Shah Rukh Khan and spoke about the actors approach towards challenges and people around him. He said, Sir, main batata hoon maine unke sath kaam kiya hain aur voh aise insaan hain ki voh kisi bhi baat par haar nahi mante, koi bhi samasya ho voh sirf bolte hain aur samne wale ka confidence kitna badate hain.

Bhuvan Aroras Waiting Hai recently started streaming to a positive response. He will next be seen soon in the Season 2 of Dupahiya, which will stream on Amazon Prime Video from October 1.

In an exclusive interview with Bollywood Hungama, Bhuvan looked at the importance of that project in his career saying, Farzi has the biggest importance in my filmography. Before that, I had done around 12-15 projects. But I got a lot of love from the audience from Farzi and now with Waiting Hai. Both these shows are very special for me along with the film Amaran. These projects have been very encouraging and motivating for me. But Farzi was the first show that put me onto the limelight. People noticed me on a major scale. Bhuvans on screen chemistry with Shahid Kapoor was one of the highlights of Farzi. Speaking about his off-screen bond with the star, he said, Our bond has become better in Season 2, on a personal level. During Season 1, we newly started knowing each other. But once you spend time together, the relationship matures with the person. This has happened with us too. I feel our relation has grown further in the second season. Shahid bhai ke saath mazaa aata hai. The second season of Farzi has been in the making since quite some time. When asked about the release plan, Bhuvan calmly said, Yaar, this is not in our hands. We knead the dough but we dont know when the cooked roti will arrive on the plate (laughs). The last leg will be finished in the coming days. I hope somewhere next year it should come. Definitely not this year. Directed by Raj and DK, Farzi also stars Vijay Sethupathi, Raashii Khanna, Kay Kay Menon, Zakir Hussain among others.

Bigg Boss 19: Gauahar Khan SLAMS Aasif Khans small thinking and really silly behaviour as he says Mooch is a mans identity

Gauahar Khan has reacted to a recent moment involving Aasif Khan on Bigg Boss 19, questioning the actors comments about moustaches and masculinity. The Bigg Boss 7 winner said she found Aasifs remarks and his behaviour on the show disappointing, while also acknowledging his work as an actor. The discussion unfolded during the captaincy task in which contestants were required to put rejected stamps on fellow housemates. Gullu put the rejected stamp on Yung DSAs face and explained that he believed Yung was behaving as though he was running the entire house. He also took issue with Yung styling the moustaches of members of his group in the same manner, suggesting that Yung expected others to follow his preferences. Aasif Khan defends Yung DSA over moustache comment Aasif Khan, who received the majority of the rejected stamps during the task, defended Yung when the discussion turned to the moustache issue. Explaining why the moustache was significant to him, Aasif said, Hum naa Rajasthan se aate hain, yeh mooch humari pehchaan hai, aur muchmundo ko mardon mein consider nahi karte hum. Isliye daadi aisi hai. Aasifs statement prompted a reaction from Gauahar, who questioned linking a mans identity or masculinity to his appearance. She also expressed disappointment that Aasif, whom she described as a good actor, was showing what she considered narrow thinking on the reality show. Gauahar Khan calls out Aasifs small thinking Taking to Instagram, Gauahar shared a note addressing the incident. She wrote, Yaar I have a question , Asif ka career toh acting mein bohat accha chal raha hai naa , he shouldn't have come on the show to showcase such small thinking and really silly behaviour , when that girl was dissing uditi, in the most low manner , he was enjoying like they r all his thoughts . Felt bad seeing that . Such a good actor par Har cheez Mein aisi soch choti lagti hai . Gauahar further referred to Aasifs comment about moustaches and masculinity, writing, Mard ki nishaani mooch hoti hai hhahahah islam mein toh musalman mard ke liye sunnah is no moonch, has he forgotten that ???? Mard ki nishaani uski unchi soch aur behaviour hoti hai ! Wish he knew that ! The exchange comes as tensions continue to play out inside the Bigg Boss 19 house.

EXCLUSIVE: After Gandhari success, Taapsee Pannu reveals whats next with Kanika Dhillon: Take bigger risks

Three successful Netflix collaborations have now strengthened the creative partnership between Taapsee Pannu and writer Kanika Dhillon, and the success of Gandhari appears to have given the duo even greater confidence to step outside conventional storytelling. Taapsee believes a major reason their collaboration works is Dhillons understanding of what keeps streaming audiences engaged. In an exclusive interview with Bollywood Hungama, the actor explained that OTT storytelling comes with its own unique challenge, viewers can simply stop watching or press pause whenever their attention begins to drift. I believe Kanika has kind of figured out the knack of how to keep the OTT audiences engaged, Taapsee said. According to her, the viewing environment itself makes retaining an audience particularly challenging. Because OTT kind of you are fighting against that pause button that can happen any time, it is unlike theatre experience where you participate and you sit in that dark room, your full focus is on the screen, she explained. That understanding has become an important part of Taapsees creative equation with Dhillon. The actor says she trusts the writer to understand how to carry a story through to the end, while her own responsibility is to translate what is on the page into a performance that feels organic. All I do is kind of like take that leap of faith with her, trust that, you know, she knows how to take the film till the end in the most the best possible way and have to just believe in her, Taapsee said. The success of Gandhari has now made that partnership even more ambitious. Rather than simply attempting to recreate what has worked before, Taapsee wants their next collaboration to challenge expectations once again. Here definitely it is a big confidence boost for Kanika and me to collaborate again together to now this time, you know try to push the envelope even more to take bigger risks to kind of present something new yet another time, bend the genre at yet another time, she revealed. Taapsee believes their willingness to avoid established formulas may actually be central to their partnership. We might not fit any kind of typical framework because there is no rules that we abide by with the films that we do, she said. With Gandhari adding another successful chapter to their collaboration, Taapsee and Dhillon now appear ready to take that unconventional approach even further.

EXCLUSIVE: Why Kanika Dhillon keeps breaking genre rules: It really excites me to break the mould

Kanika Dhillon has never appeared particularly interested in telling stories by the rulebook. From genre-bending narratives to morally complicated characters, the writer-producer has consistently gravitated towards stories that refuse to sit comfortably inside familiar boxes. The success of Gandhari, she says, has only strengthened that instinct. Usually, all my stories never conform to a certain template. Either they are a genre bender, or they are always pushing the boundaries of black and white and grey zones and across the spectrum, Dhillon tells Bollywood Hungama exclusively. For Dhillon, experimentation is not simply about making a story unusual for the sake of it. It is about finding a fresh grammar within a familiar genre. So that is why I need to push the genre, twist the genre, bend the genre, merge two genres, unpredictable characters, also watering on experimental, bringing around cliches which are used in a surprising manner, she explains. Her creative philosophy can also make her films polarising, something she openly acknowledges. But that possibility does not appear to deter her. As a maker, it really excites me to sort of break the mould and try and push myself to see what new and what different can I do in a certain genre, different in a template, she says. The response to Gandhari has now given that philosophy another significant validation. Dhillon says the films success and the audience mandate have encouraged her to take even greater creative risks. Yes, definitely the resounding success of Gandhari and the audience mandate has encouraged me and humbled me to, you know, take more chances and more risks and continue to tell very unconventional, very rooted stories that speak to an audience, she says. For Dhillon, the objective remains audience-first storytelling without necessarily giving audiences what they expect. And if Gandhari is any indication, she appears keen to continue exploring the space where familiar emotions meet unfamiliar storytelling.
