Imran Khans partner, Lekha Washington, shared a photo of the couple inside a police van days after the actor was detained during a protest in Mumbai and later directed to leave India by October 28. The post, shared on Friday, October 16, appears to show Washington expressing her support for Khan amid the ongoing situation. Washington captioned the picture simply, Just followed by a string of heart emojis. The post also drew a reaction from Zayn Marie Khan, who commented, Yall are . The picture appears to be from the October 10 protest, during which Khan, Washington and his cousin Zayn Marie Khan were detained by Mumbai Police. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Lekha Washington (@lekhawashington) Imran Khan asked to leave India The development comes after the Foreigners Regional Registration Office (FRRO), Mumbai, issued a notice directing Khan to leave India by October 28. The actor is a US citizen and holds an Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) card. Khan had participated in a protest at Mumbais August Kranti Maidan on October 10. The demonstration was linked to the Cockroach Janta Party and involved demands for the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. He was briefly detained during the protest. The notice reportedly cites provisions of the Immigration and Foreigners Act, 2025, and alleges that Khan contravened rules applicable to foreign nationals in India. The action followed a complaint by BJP leader Kirit Somaiya regarding Khans participation in the protest. Authorities have maintained that foreign nationals are not permitted to participate in political protests in India. Khan is expected to challenge the FRRO notice before the Bombay High Court. His legal team has indicated that he will contest the order, with reports stating that the actor maintains that he did not violate the conditions applicable to him.

Madhuri Dixit recently opened up about her pregnancy experiences and her younger sons food preferences during an episode of Sony Marathis Kon Honar Crorepati. The actor was joined by Yami Gautam and Adinath Kothare, who appeared on the show to promote their film Nayyi Navelli. During the conversation, Yami recalled celebrating the announcement of her first pregnancy with some of her favourite Maharashtrian dishes. She said, I remember, at the Article 370 trailer launch, we shared with everyone in the media that I was expecting my first child. As soon as the press conference ended, I called my cook and said, Quickly get some puran poli ready. I want to eat puran poli! I want to celebrate this day with puran poli and ukadiche modak. Yamis mention of ukadiche modak prompted Madhuri to share her own experience of pregnancy. The actor revealed that she did not have any specific food cravings during either of her pregnancies. I love ukadiche modak! But I never really had any cravings during my pregnancies. When I was pregnant with my younger son, though, I enjoyed eating spicy, flavourful food. And now, he eats the spiciest food in our family! Madhuri said. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sony LIV (@sonylivindia) Madhuri then drew a playful connection between pregnancy food preferences and childrens tastes as she asked Yami about her sons preference for sweets.

There was a time when Hindi remakes of South Indian films worked well at the box office, despite the original films being available in Hindi-dubbed versions on satellite television or digital platforms. However, the trend changed after the pandemic. During the lockdown, several popular South Indian mass entertainers were widely consumed by audiences. As a result, they were consequently less interested in watching their Hindi remakes. Jersey (2022), starring Shahid Kapoor and Mrunal Thakur, was one such film that failed to attract audiences, with the popularity of the original's Hindi-dubbed version being seen as one of the reasons. Another film that falls into this category is Nikamma (2022). Directed by Sabbir Khan and starring Shilpa Shetty, Abhimanyu Dassani and Shirley Setia, it was a remake of the 2017 Telugu film Middle Class Abbayi. Its shoot commenced in 2019, and had it been released before the Covid restrictions kicked in in March 2020, Nikamma might have had a chance to work in cinemas. However, by the time it finally arrived in theatres on June 17, 2022, audience preferences had changed considerably. As a result, the film's box office performance was abysmal. In an exclusive interview with Bollywood Hungama, Sabbir Khan was asked about the film's failure. When we remarked that Nikamma might have had a better chance at the box office had it released before the lockdown, the director replied, Exactly, I was going to tell you the same thing. It was conceptualized and made at a different time. The two-year lockdown period changed everybody's viewing patterns and intake of what they want to watch. He added, Not just Nikamma, that entire year, most films didn't do well. People at that time were just not interested in going to cinemas. Moreover, there was this whole thing against Bollywood. That is carrying forward even today. It's going to take a little time to structure back. I am hopeful that the films coming out now will be made by filmmakers who have understood that audiences no longer want to watch mediocre content. They have learned their lesson and will aim to deliver their best. They have learned that the audience doesn't want to see a mediocre film. So, they'll aim to make the best. Sabbir Khan began his directorial career with Kambakkht Ishq (2009), which was an average grosser, though its songs are remembered fondly even today. 'Bebo', in particular, continues to be popular on Instagram Reels. His next film, Heropanti (2014), marked the Bollywood debut of Tiger Shroff and Kriti Sanon, and both became instantly popular with the youth. His 2017 film Munna Michael marked the debut of Nidhhi Agerwal, who later made a mark in Tamil and Telugu cinema. In a recent interview, Kriti Sanon also fondly remembered Sabbir Khan and revealed that he had sent her a long, lovely message after watching her in Cocktail 2 (2026). We asked Sabbir Khan about his experience of launching actors who went on to become popular and the secret behind spotting promising newcomers. He replied, Since my first film Kambakkht Ishq, I have had it in my mind that there has to be a mix. That is, you have to work with people who know their job. At the same time, you have to introduce newcomers, be it actors or technicians. That becomes your glory in so many ways, as you are pushing newer talent. If nobody is going to do that, imagine the state we are going to be in. There are only a handful of stars and popular actors, and we are constantly seeing only them. Whenever something new is attempted, it might not necessarily do too well in the beginning, but you are excited about the potential that he or she has. People may say, This is a great actor, and if there's a better film, he or she will do well. He added, Also, there are so many new actors whom we see in series or films; they have so much potential. Sabbir has worked with Tiger Shroff in three films Heropanti, Baaghi (2016) and Munna Michael. When asked whether he is still in touch with the actor, Sabbir replied, Tiger and I are always in touch. We always speak and take each other's advice. He's like family only now. With Heropanti and Baaghi, Sabbir Khan proved that he understands mass cinema well. However, he believes that the definition of mass cinema has changed over the years. He explained, The current crop of filmmakers and the filmmakers who are coming up should understand what mass actually means. What mass meant 10 years ago or 5 years ago is different from what it means today. That mass audience is now much more educated and has exposure to social media. They are aware of almost everything that's happening in the world. Hence, our mass cinema should reflect that. It should reach out to maximum people but with intellect. We can't recycle the same tropes; it won't work. Finally, when asked about his upcoming projects, Sabbir Khan said, I am back in the writing room and working on a couple of exciting story ideas.

Actor Imran Khan participating in a protest organised by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) in Mumbai has triggered a debate, with filmmaker Kiran Rao and actress Saba Azad expressing support for him on social media. Their reactions came after the actor reportedly faced legal action over his participation in the demonstration, with the issue drawing attention to his citizenship status and the restrictions applicable to foreign nationals. Kiran Rao took to her Instagram Stories to share a news report about the action against Imran Khan. Expressing her disbelief over the development, she wrote, Wah, now it's Mumbai police? She went on to highlight the actors long association with the country, adding, 43 years old. 40 of those years in India. Studied here, worked here, succeeded here, failed here, loved here and fought here. Kiran, who was previously married to Imrans uncle, Aamir Khan, drew attention to the years the actor has spent in India, emphasising his personal and professional connections to the country. Saba Azad also reacted to the news on Instagram. The actress, who is in a relationship with Hrithik Roshan, reposted a note shared by a journalist about Imran reportedly being arrested. Expressing her disapproval of the development, she wrote, Whattttt!!!!????? This is absolute BS (bull shit). The controversy follows Imrans participation in a CJP protest in Mumbai that called for the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. Following the demonstration, BJP leader Kirit Somaiya lodged a police complaint, alleging that the actors participation violated restrictions applicable to foreign citizens. The complaint was subsequently forwarded to the Foreigners Regional Registration Office (FRRO), which issued a notice directing Imran to leave India. The FRROs position is that an Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) card does not permit foreign nationals to participate in protests. The order reportedly invokes the Immigration and Foreigners Act, 2025, under which Section 7 empowers the Central Government to regulate or restrict the entry, departure, presence and movement of foreign nationals in India. Meanwhile, several other industry voices, including Raza Murad and Ashoke Pandit, have supported the position that foreign nationals should refrain from interfering in Indias domestic matters. As reactions continue to emerge, Kiran and Sabas posts have added a celebrity dimension to the debate surrounding Imran Khans participation in the protest and the legal action that followed.

Rakul Preet Singh is set to portray Surpanakha in Nitesh Tiwaris upcoming film Ramayana. Speaking at the films international trailer launch event in Bengaluru, the actor reflected on her association with the city, her journey in cinema and the experience of being part of a project based on one of Indias most revered epics. For Rakul, Bengaluru holds a special place in her career, as it was where her first film came about. Recalling her early days as an actor, she said, So, Bangalore is a very special place for me. My first film happened in Bangalore. And at that point I didn't even know if I really wanted to act. So I've gotten so much love from this place. So it's really special to today stand here after all these years and be a part of Ramayana. The actor also spoke about being part of the vision brought together by director Nitesh Tiwari and producer Namit Malhotra. Highlighting the significance of the epic and the work that has gone into the film, she said, I think for me it's just such a pleasure to be a part of a vision, a humongous vision that Nitesh sir and Namit sir have created. And I'm just so happy to be a part of it because Ramayana is so close to the hearts of each and every one of us. So all I can say is I really hope that all of you enjoy the film and give us all the love. There's a lot of hard work that's gone behind. Everyone's performed really well: Sai, Ranbir, Yash, brother Ravana Yash. So, I really hope you all love it and give it all the love. Yeah, thank you. Thank you so much. Rakuls casting as Surpanakha brings another familiar character from the epic into the films ensemble. Her appearance in the mythological drama marks a new addition to her filmography, with audiences set to see her take on a character who plays a significant role in the larger narrative of the Ramayana. Directed by Nitesh Tiwari and produced by Namit Malhotras Prime Focus Studios in collaboration with DNEG and Yashs Monster Mind Creations, Ramayana is planned as a two-part cinematic adaptation. The film features Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama, Sai Pallavi as Sita, Yash as Ravana, Sunny Deol as Hanuman and Ravi Dubey as Lakshman, alongside Rakul as Surpanakha. Ramayana: Part 1 is scheduled to release worldwide in cinemas on November 5, 2026, with the second instalment planned for Diwali 2027.
