One of the most talked-about casting combinations in the Indian OTT space is coming together for Billionaire, an ambitious, larger-than-life business drama being mounted on an international scale. Joining the charismatic Arjun Rampal are three accomplished performers Jennifer Winget, Sapna Pabbi and Vipin Sharma. The series is scheduled to commence filming on November 15, 2026, in and around London, with an extensive shooting schedule featuring magnificent real locations and specially constructed grand sets. Mounted on a large production scale, Billionaire aims to bring the world of extraordinary ambition, wealth, power and corporate intrigue to life with cinematic grandeur. What makes Billionaire keenly-awaited is the coming together of two distinctive filmmakers Hansal Mehta and Robbie Grewal both of whom have made an impact on Indian streaming entertainment with their acclaimed work. Hansal Mehta, the filmmaker behind the iconic Scam 1992, changed the way Indian audiences experienced financial and business dramas, turning a complex real-world story into a gripping mainstream phenomenon. Robbie Grewal, on the other hand, delivered one of the most celebrated corporate dramas with Made in India A Titan Story, bringing the extraordinary vision, ambition and legacy behind the Titan brand to the screen. With Arjun Rampal leading the series, the addition of Jennifer Winget, Sapna Pabbi and Vipin Sharma adds considerable excitement to the project. Jennifer Winget, celebrated for her commanding screen presence and versatile performances, brings a strong audience following to the ensemble. Sapna Pabbi, known for her work across films and streaming projects, adds another dynamic dimension, while veteran actor Vipin Sharma, widely admired for his nuanced and memorable performances, further strengthens the cast. The combination of these four performers is expected to create an engaging interplay of complex characters against the backdrop of a high-stakes business world.

Kriti Kharbanda recently used social media to draw attention to an important road safety measure, reminding people that wearing a seatbelt is equally necessary for passengers travelling in the back seat of a car. Sharing a selfie from inside a vehicle, Kriti wrote, Peeche wali seat pe bhi seatbelt zaroori hai, highlighting the need to follow basic safety precautions regardless of where one is seated. While seatbelts are often associated with drivers and front-seat passengers, rear-seat occupants are also at risk of injuries in the event of sudden braking or a road accident. Wearing a seatbelt can help reduce the risk of serious injuries during a collision. Through her post, Kriti reiterated a simple but important message: road safety should remain a priority for everyone travelling in a vehicle. The actor also added a playful touch to her post by mentioning that her makeup was on point. The casual selfie brought together a personal moment and a reminder about responsible travel, drawing attention to a precaution that is sometimes overlooked by passengers in the back seat. Kriti's message serves as a reminder that safety measures should not be ignored for the sake of convenience, even when travelling short distances. Whether seated in the front or the rear, passengers need to make seatbelts a part of every car journey. With her straightforward message, the actor highlighted the importance of building safer travel habits. Her post reinforces the idea that seatbelts are not limited to a particular seat but are an essential safety measure for everyone inside a moving vehicle.

Sania Mirza has returned with the second season of Serving It Up with Sania, produced by IVM Podcasts. The first episode, featuring actors Sonakshi Sinha and Zaheer Iqbal Khan, is now live. Following the response to its debut season, the show continues to bring together sports, entertainment and personal conversations, with new episodes scheduled to release every Friday. The season opener features Sania taking on Sonakshi and Zaheer in a game of pickleball before joining the couple for a candid conversation about their seven-year relationship, their first five-and-a-half-hour conversation and their experience of working together after marriage. Through playful exchanges and personal anecdotes, the episode offers viewers a glimpse into the couples life beyond their public appearances. With both Sonakshi and Zaheer sharing an interest in pickleball, the duo joined Sania on the court for a session that combined friendly competition with conversations about their personal lives. Appreciating their performance, Sania said, You guys were the best pickleball players we've had now for all the seasons that we've had. Speaking about working with Zaheer after marriage, Sonakshi said, For me, romancing on screen is the toughest thing ever. So when its with your own husband, then its fine. It just eases you out when you have your person around you. But of course, when we are at work, its time to work. Sonakshi also spoke about her approach to travelling, explaining how years of work-related travel influenced her decision to take a break from it. She said, I love doing that because all my life Ive had to travel for work, like 2530 weeks. So I was like, I dont want to do anything. Reflecting on the return of the podcast, Sania spoke about how her experience with the first season helped her discover an interest in long-form conversations. She said, When I first tried my hand at podcasting, I wasn't sure how much I would enjoy it. But over time, I realised how much I love having these conversations and getting to know people beyond what we see of them publicly. The success and response to Season 1 gave me even more reason to come back with Season 2. I've spent years smashing it on the tennis court, and now I'm enjoying this new innings as a podcaster. Having IVM Podcasts, one of the pioneers in the Indian podcasting space, partner with me on this journey makes it even more exciting. We have a fantastic lineup this season, and I'm looking forward to audiences discovering these conversations. The second season continues Sanias exploration of conversations that go beyond the public image of her guests, with pickleball serving as an additional element of the format. The first episode of Serving It Up with Sania Season 2, featuring Sonakshi Sinha and Zaheer Iqbal Khan, is now streaming on the shows YouTube channel. New episodes will be released every Friday.

The heartwarming film Little Thomas released this Friday, October 23, and it revolves around a simple yet amusing premise a young boy trying to find out where babies come from! At the trailer launch, lead actor Gulshan Devaiah was asked whether he, too, had ever gone to great lengths to find the answer to a question. The actor, in his trademark entertaining style, replied, I did something in Class 5, but I cant say it here. Thoda non-veg variety ka hai! Yeh kisi podcast mein bataunga main. Yahaan pe Reel accha nahin katega. Podcast ka Reel accha katega! (laughs). Bollywood Hungama recently spoke exclusively to Gulshan Devaiah and requested him to reveal what exactly happened in Class 5, even though we weren't conducting a podcast with him! The actor was gracious enough to share the hilarious incident. Gulshan Devaiah began by saying, There was a kid in my class who abused another student. But he said, You bloody basket! The kid who got abused complained to the class teacher. She scolded the guy who abused and told him, How dare you talk like this? A certain decorum needs to be maintained in school. Since it was a convent school, toh angrezi mein hi daant padti thi! He continued, I was listening to the scolding and thought, kuch toh gadbad hai. So, I raised my hand. The teacher asked, Yes, Gulshan?. I said, He said bloody basket. That's not really a bad word. Bloody b*****d is the correct term (laughs). The teacher was shocked and retorted, No, bloody basket is an abuse. Sit down! Gulshan Devaiah laughed as he further revealed, Baat wahaan khatam nahin hui. I was sure that it was Bloody b*****d. I had heard it in films and also in real life. I guess my father had also uttered the abuse in a traffic jam! So, I asked my mother and told her how I had corrected my teacher (laughs). I asked my mother, Is bloody basket a gaali or bloody b*****d?. This was also the time when I didn't know the meaning of b*****d. He concluded, My mother heard me and advised, Aisi baatein tu school mein mat kiya kar. Bahut problem hogi. Jo bhi teacher keh rahi hai, tu bas haan-haan kar (laughs). Many years later, I got to know the meaning of b*****d. That's when I understood why everyone was so uncomfortable. Hence, I couldn't say this in front of my kids that day.

The recently released courtroom drama Prahaar has been appreciated not just for addressing an important subject pertaining to the 26/11 terror attacks but also for its memorable moments and powerful performances. Rajkummar Rao shines in the lead role of Ujjwal Nikam, while Lalit Prabhakar leaves a lasting impression as Ajmal Kasab. Another actor who makes his presence felt is Sikandar Kher. He essays the role of Abbas Kazmi, the lawyer who defended Kasab in the high-profile trial. In an exclusive interview with Bollywood Hungama, the dashing and talented Sikandar Kher spoke about his role, how he prepared for it and a lot more. From the trailers, we expected Kazmi to be depicted as a villain. However, the makers have humanized him. How did that come about, and how did you prepare for the role? It was important. In fact, I asked director Avinash Arun if I could meet the real Abbas Kazmi ji because I wanted to understand this lawyer who took up the responsibility of defending Kasab. It's almost unbelievable in this country. From what I learned, the Bar Council of India had agreed that no one would defend him. Yet, he went against their directive to take up the case. I wanted to have a conversation with him to understand the human being that he is. I didn't ask him why he took up the case. I just wanted to gauge what kind of person he was. He was kind enough to meet me, and we had a great conversation. It will always remain personal, and I wouldn't want to reveal all its details. Not that there was anything controversial. It's just that these were personal moments I shared with him to understand him better. I had read the script, and I knew that he had gone through some tough moments. For instance, we see in the film that when he's out celebrating Eid with his family, a person approaches him and admonishes him. His own community had ostracized him. There were chants of 'Hang Kazmi' along with 'Hang Kasab' as well. That man did go through this internal conflict in real life. But it was predominantly about upholding the Constitution of India, which was the whole reason behind giving Kasab a trial and showing the world that our country is a democracy, where everybody gets a fair trial before being sentenced. At the end of the day, he's a human being and an Indian. This is his country. At the same time, he's a lawyer. He took up something that nobody else would have had the courage to take up. So, you get to see his human side as well. I was very happy when I saw the film because the makers had retained the silences and the moments where one could see his internal conflict. Speaking of silences and internal conflict, there's a scene where Kazmi asks the girl, Komal Ahirwar, to show the wound at the back of her head to the court. Could you explain why he does that, especially when he was defending Kasab? When you see the scene, you realize that he's feeling for her as she's giving her statement in the witness box. When you have such a young girl, you believe her story. You know in your heart what the truth is, but you're still doing your duty. In such situations, the lines may get blurred. So, at that point, he's probably attempting to cross-examine the witness. But then, he's also human. He's looking at a child who's probably going to suffer from PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) for the rest of her life. It was something he had to ask, and so he just asked it. He probably didn't have anything else to ask that girl. The performances by Rajkummar Rao and Lalit Prabhakar are excellent. Lalit's expressions, silences, the tilt of his head, etc., add to the impact. How was your experience working with them? It was great. Avinash deserves a lot of credit for it. He's such a wonderful man, and hence, the energy on set was great. Raj and I had collaborated before, and he's always been a team player. This time was no different. When I saw Lalit on the set and he walked into the witness box, I just knew that this guy was going to nail it completely. And he totally did! I think Raj, Lalit and every other actor in the film have done so well. The performances have rightfully been praised. It's always great to work with people who are willing to listen to each other, collaborate, jam and really bring a scene together. That's so important for us as actors and also for the audience at large. What's next? Chaar Yaar dropped on Amazon Prime Video on October 23. It's a very mazedaar show. I have also just finished shooting Season 2 of Dahaad. I'm really looking forward to it. Working with Reema Kagti, Zoya Akhtar, Ruchika Oberoi and the entire cast was a treat. It's your birthday on October 31. What are your plans? (Smiles) I'll most probably be working, which is the best kind of birthday for me! So, yes, I'll probably be at work.

Ramayana: Is Yash's Ravana Vs Ranbir Kapoor's Ram The Most Expensive Face-Off In Indian Cinema?
It is a gamble of sorts, how will Ranbir Kapoor play Ram, and how will Yash redefine the perception of Ravana?
Tara Sutaria is all set to share screen space with Aditya Roy Kapur for the first time in Bhushan Kumar's upcoming untitled musical love story, directed by Milap Milan Zaveri. The makers have officially announced Tara as the female lead in the film, which promises an intense and deeply passionate romance set against a backdrop of violence, conflict and high-stakes emotions.
Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi and Ravi Dubey are set to appear on Kaun Banega Crorepati 18, hosted by Amitabh Bachchan, to promote their upcoming film Ramayana. The actors, who are part of the mythological saga, will join the veteran actor on the quiz-based reality show for a special episode scheduled to air on October 29 and 30, Thursday and Friday, at 9 pm. Sony TV recently shared a promotional video on its official Instagram handle, featuring the Ramayana cast alongside Amitabh Bachchan. The promo offers a glimpse of the interaction between the actors and the host, with Ranbir asking Amitabh about his memories of Diwali. The conversation takes a humorous turn as the veteran actor recalls how the festival was celebrated during his childhood. In the video, Ranbir asked Amitabh, Amit uncle aapki koi Diwali ki yaadein Responding to the question, Amitabh shared a memory of the friendly competition that accompanied Diwali celebrations in his neighbourhood. He said, Sir Diwali ki keval yeh he yaad rehti thi ke agar bagal wale ke yaha bomb phata hai, toh hamara bomb usse zyada tez hona chahiye. View this post on Instagram A post shared by sonytvofficial (@sonytvofficial) His response brings a light-hearted moment to the promo, offering viewers a glimpse of the conversations expected during the special episode. The appearance will also give the actors an opportunity to discuss Ramayana, its making and their association with the epic story as the makers prepare for the film's release. The episode also brings Ranbir and Amitabh together on television following their previous collaboration in Ayan Mukerji's Brahmastra: Part One - Shiva, which was released in 2022. In the film, Ranbir played Shiva, while Amitabh portrayed Guru. Their earlier on-screen association adds another point of interest to their interaction on the quiz show. With Ranbir, Sai Pallavi and Ravi Dubey joining Amitabh on the hot seat, the upcoming episodes of Kaun Banega Crorepati 18 will combine the show's quiz format with conversations around the cast's upcoming mythological project. The special episodes are scheduled to air on Sony TV on October 29 and 30 at 9 pm. Also Read : Saif Ali Khan reveals why he loves ghee, says he still hasnt received his KBC prize: I am expecting it
Harshvardhan Rane has expressed his admiration for his Silaa co-star Sadia Khateeb, describing her as one of the most deserving female leads in Hindi cinema and emphasising that she is not just a heroine. His appreciation comes shortly after Khateeb was announced as a writer on Kriti Sanons upcoming film, backed by Dinesh Vijans Maddock Films. Rane shared his thoughts in the comments section of the first-look poster of Silaa, which features the actor in a rugged, battle-scarred appearance. While the poster offered a glimpse into the films action-romance setting, Rane used the occasion to acknowledge Khateebs abilities and potential rather than focusing solely on his own appearance or the project. This is not the first time the actor has spoken positively about his co-stars. During a schedule of Silaa, Rane appreciated Khateebs performance and dedication to the film. He also acknowledged fellow co-star Ipsitaa, referring to her as the star of the film, and recognised Karan Veer Mehras contribution. In addition, he praised the technical crew, highlighting the work of those involved behind the scenes. Rane has also encouraged a supportive approach towards fellow actors outside his immediate circle. When social media users began comparing his performance in Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat with Ahaan Pandays work in Saiyaara, he urged audiences not to pit the two actors against each other, describing Panday as sincere and talented. The actor has similarly expressed his appreciation for Sonam Bajwa, his co-star in Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat. In an interview with Filmfare, Rane described working with her as one of his top two experiences with a co-star and said she had a mountain of untapped potential. Calling her an earnest artist and a refined human being, he expressed confidence that she could be recognised not only as an A-grade commercial heroine but also as a top-notch actor capable of holding a scene through silence and the power of her eyes. He added that the industry had not even scratched the surface of her potential. With Rane and Khateeb set to share screen space in Silaa, his latest words have brought attention to their professional camaraderie ahead of the films release. His appreciation for his co-stars, fellow performers and crew members reflects his willingness to acknowledge the contributions of others in an industry where conversations often centre on individual actors.

The much-awaited Jailer 2 has lived up to expectations and is enjoying a phenomenal run at the box office. The film has been loved for its mass-appealing moments, Nelson's expert direction, Rajinikanth's towering presence and much more. The performances by the supporting cast and actors making cameo appearances have also received appreciation. One of them is Apeksha Porwal. She appears in the second half, and in the climax, she, along with her gang of girls and their suave leader, Hrithik Roshan, helps Rajinikanth's character eliminate the baddies. In an exclusive interview with Bollywood Hungama, Apeksha spoke about her Jailer 2 experience, working with some of the biggest names in Indian cinema and a lot more. How has your life changed after Jailer 2's release? How are things going for you? More than anything, it's the love that is coming in from the masses that has made me so full of gratitude. I knew it was a big film. Yet, the appreciation I have received in hordes has gone above and beyond my expectations. Did you get a chance to watch it in cinemas? (Smiles) Yes, of course. I was not going to miss this one! I watched it in Hindi, but it was like a party as it was a single-screen theatre. Everybody was screaming and hooting. I actually watched it twice. Once, I went alone quietly on the first day to gauge the audience's reaction. Then, I went again with my friends, and it was a crazy experience. How did you bag the film? I have been practising martial arts for the past couple of years. So, I do a bunch of things like katana (sword training), nunchucks, kickboxing, etc. Somebody from the team had come across my katana videos. They knew of this girl who was an actor and also practised martial arts. That's how they approached me for the role. At first, I wasn't sure if it was real or not! But then I had a word with them, and it turned out to be genuine. I went to Chennai and had a meeting with Nelson sir. After the meeting, I got a call confirming that I had bagged the role. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Apeksha Porwal (@apeksha_porwal) You have posted a picture with Rajinikanth. What did you both talk about? He's the sweetest and incredibly humble. You've grown up hearing the name Rajinikanth, and he's like this mythical legend. Being the superstar that he is, I wasn't sure if I could approach him and speak to him. On my first day on the set, I shot for the climax action scene. Ramya Krishnan, S J Suryah, Vidya Balan and others were also present along with Rajinikanth sir. Hence, I kept to myself and focused on the action that I had to perform. But Rajini sir's presence was very comforting. Every time he would walk past, he would smile and say, 'Good morning'. And not just to me. He was respectful towards the entire crew. It speaks volumes about the stardom and legacy he has built over the years. You also share screen space with Hrithik Roshan It was great to work with him. He's extremely focused and dedicated when he's doing a shot. He knows exactly what he's doing. He's also a director's actor. He worked very collaboratively with Nelson. We spoke very briefly between shots. He's kind and a good person. I spoke to Ramya Krishnan ma'am at length as I am a huge fan of Baahubali. We spoke for at least 15-20 minutes, and she was very kind. Mithun sir was also great. There's a shot where I have to knock the gun out of his hand. That was my first shot, and I was like, 'Oh my God! This is how I am starting' (laughs)! Nelson's films have a lot of humour. Is he funny in real life too? He's very funny and witty. I mean, imagine the kind of setup he's working on. The film is mounted on a huge budget of hundreds of crores. Yet, he was the coolest and calmest person on the set. To manage a set like that and still be so calm and focused on his vision all the time is commendable. At the same time, he's super-fun and chill between takes. I would sit with him near the monitor. We would laugh and have a very good time. He also has a dark, witty sense of humour. Many people felt that you and the rest of the girls should have had more screen time. Also, Jailer 2 ends with the promise of a third part. So, is Jailer 3 happening? I guess we'll get to that. I can't comment on it right now (laughs). As for the screen time, it's nice to leave the audience wanting more, na? What's next? Are you open to doing more Pan-India films? I am already working on two films, both in lead roles and in the Hindi film industry. The door's open now, and let's see what offers pour in. I'm just going with the flow.

With more opportunities emerging for female-led films, conversations around gender parity, pay disparity and the commercial potential of women-centric stories continue to be a part of the entertainment industry. Actress Kriti Sanon recently shared her views on the changing landscape, highlighting the role of audiences in encouraging filmmakers to invest in stories led by women. Kriti, who is reportedly set to headline a large-scale horror film backed by Maddock Films, also spoke about the difference in remuneration between male and female actors. While she acknowledged the growing number of substantial roles being written for women, she noted that pay parity remains an area that needs attention. Talking about the rise of female-driven projects, the actress said, With OTT and so many other platforms coming in, and also a lot of writers writing meaty parts for women, which is amazing, because now it's not just about male-driven films. There are many female-driven films that are also happening. Women are also opting for meaty parts. But of course, there is a lot of difference in the pay and the fee, which still needs to change. But it is all a mathematical calculation of what the return is going to be in theatres, what the platforms pay for certain films and certain actors. She added, But I would actually like to say, I'm doing a film that is on my shoulders, a solo lead next. And I actually want the audiences to make it make as much money as it would if it had a male actor. Make it a blockbuster, and things will change. I feel it's not just about the industry. It's actually a calculated thing where how much you invest and how much you're getting is dependent on that. And actually, I feel the audiences need to make that difference also, you know, by watching a film regardless of the gender. So when that happens, and a film that's on a female's shoulders opens to big numbers, things will change. Through her remarks, Kriti emphasised that the success of female-led films at the box office could influence the industry's approach to casting, budgets and remuneration. She pointed out that the financial returns associated with a film play a role in determining how much producers invest in a project and how actors are paid. The actress also called on audiences to support films based on their content rather than the gender of the lead actor. According to her, when a woman-led film achieves box-office numbers comparable to those of a male-led project, it could encourage the industry to explore more such ventures. Kriti's next solo-led film is reportedly a large-scale horror project with Maddock Films. While further details about the project have not been confirmed in the information provided, her comments have brought attention to the commercial expectations surrounding female-led theatrical releases and the importance of audience participation in driving change.

Zaheer Iqbal, who made his Bollywood debut with Notebook in 2019, has reflected on his journey as an actor and how his approach to choosing films has evolved over the years. After starring in Double XL in 2022, the actor is now seen in the psychological thriller Tu Hai Meri Kiran. In an exclusive interview with HT Lifestyle, Zaheer spoke about his growing interest in acting, his career aspirations and his desire to explore diverse characters. Discussing what attracted him to Tu Hai Meri Kiran, directed by Karan Rawal, Zaheer said, The first thing that drew me was the fact that it gave me scope to perform and do something different, something that's not me at all in real life. Reflecting on the preparation required for the role, he added, Though I havent gone that deep into the psyche of the person, with workshops and direction, I was able to do justice to the character. The film explores the distinction between love and obsession, a subject on which Zaheer expressed strong views. I completely disagree with the way this guy is in love and his obsession. I disagree with every single thing he said and did, and the way he said it and the way he did it. He also emphasised the importance of recognising the difference between love and obsession in relationships. Zaheer, who married actor Sonakshi Sinha in 2024, also spoke about the importance of understanding one's partner before marriage. Reflecting on their relationship, he said, We dated for so long before our marriage, we knew all the good and the bad and the ugly about each other. So, there were no surprises, and I think that's how a marriage should be. I think you should get to know someone before you decide to spend the rest of your life with them because I genuinely believe that deciding who you marry is the biggest and the most important decision of your life, he said. Looking back at his career, Zaheer acknowledged that every film has contributed to his growth as an actor. I learn with every passing film, especially by meeting new people, collaborating with directors and producers, and understanding how differently people work. Notebook taught me a lot, and I've used a lot of that learning in this film and that's why I've grown as an actor. I want to do different characters and good scripts, and I don't look at anything else. He also recalled how his initial expectations of becoming an actor changed after entering the industry. When I became an actor, I wanted to be a hero and do the high-speed shots, the dancing and the glamour. That was a big part of it. However, his priorities gradually shifted towards the craft itself. But when I started working, I realised that I've fallen in love with acting, with wanting to act and play characters. Now, it's all about acting and being a good performer. I don't look at scripts in terms of whose character is more important or things like that. I just look for a good script and a good character for me to play, he added. While Zaheer hopes to explore action films, particularly those involving hand-to-hand combat, he also wants audiences to recognise his dedication to his work. I don't think people have realised how hardworking and hungry I am. People see me travelling and enjoying life, but they don't see how driven I am when it comes to work. That's what I want people to see, he said. For Zaheer, success is not defined by professional achievements alone. If I am happy, I am successful. I've always been happy as a person. I'm a very optimistic person, and because of that, I always feel I'm very successful, he said.

The veteran actor had recently announced a break from his usual social media updates after being advised to prioritise his recovery. On Friday, he took to his Tumblr blog to share a brief update, indicating that he continues to follow the medical advice. In his latest post, Amitabh wrote, Yet more rest needed .. adjusting .. thinking and wondering .. the human body and its uniqueness.

He further added, But do take this as my respected response .. more hopefully later. On the professional front, Amitabh will reprise his role as Ashwatthama in the sequel to Kalki 2898 AD.

Kriti Sanon recently appeared on Kareena Kapoor Khans show What Women Want, where the two discussed online trolling, the scrutiny women face over their appearances, and the importance of standing up for oneself. During a segment in which they responded to different situations as a Boss Lady or a Baddie, Kriti spoke about the criticism she received over her outfit in a recent advertisement, which became a topic of public debate. Speaking about her approach to online trolling, Kriti said, I'm a boss. I don't pay attention to any of the trolls. I don't pay heed to them. I don't feel like I need to justify anything because I don't want to give them that attention. I let it pass. I don't say anything to them. I don't react. But, which is something that actually happened recently, where my choli became national debate. My God, I couldn't believe for half the times that my choli become, like, a six-people panel discussion on prime-time news. And I was like, what is going on? And normally I don't say anything. You know, the trolling had happened much before that. And that's where I kind of felt like I needed to be a baddie. Kareena appreciated her response, saying, which was absolutely amazing. Explaining why she decided to speak up, Kriti said, Thank you. But not for the fact that, you know, I felt like it was not about me. It was a much larger issue, where I feel like women are constantly under scrutiny for everything. And it's only women who get targeted in the smallest things. Agreeing with Kriti, Kareena said, Yes, and it's your choice what you want to wear, how. Kriti elaborated on how women are frequently judged for their appearances and personal choices. She said, And what you want to wear, she's too short, too tall, she's put on weight, she's looking too slim, she's, oh, is she pregnant? How many times have you had to justify? Yeah, you had pizza and pasta and wine. (For kareena) What is going on? And, you know, just, I like this outfit, I don't like this outfit. It's fine. It's an opinion. Kareena observed that the situation had escalated, saying, But now it's gone to the next level. Responding to her, Kriti questioned the hostility behind online comments, saying, the amount of hate that happens, what's with the hate? Kareena agreed, describing the trolling as hat was very unnecessary. Kriti also explained why she believes women should not have to disable their comments or justify their choices to avoid criticism. Recalling a conversation with her sister, she said, Like my sister was , You should turn off your commenting and all, and I was like, why? She was like, Oh, I'm getting, like, so, like, you know, just disturbed with all this. So I just feel like, and I feel it's important for women to stand up for themselves because I feel like everything is such a question. And who has given this right to these people to be commenting on us for what? You know, what women actually want is to not be judged and for people to actually mind their own business. Kareena praised Kriti for sharing her views on a platform that encourages conversations about women, saying, Well, there you go, because I think that coming from her and on this show, What Women Want, it's a complete inspiration for Kriti to come here and say that, you know, this is exactly what. Kriti emphasised that the issue was not limited to her experience, adding, It's also because it's happened to multiple women, and actors are the easiest targets. It's not just me. Recently it's happened with multiple people, and it's just so sad because we're also human and it affects us, and it's not fair. And it's not fair to any woman. Kareena then praised her for speaking up, telling her, I think it's very, very brave of you to be a baddie. So you are a baddie. Kriti reiterated her stance on standing up for oneself and addressing the larger social issues behind such criticism. She said, Yeah, when it comes to that. And I feel very strongly about, like, standing up for yourself. Yeah. Standing up for yourself and just, like, the gender inequality that exists and patriarchy is so, like, embedded deep that we need to kind of try to shatter it multiple times for it to break. Kareena agreed with her, concluding, No, absolutely correct. Their conversation highlighted how criticism of women's clothing and appearances can extend beyond personal opinions and turn into online abuse. Kriti stressed that women should be able to make their own choices without being subjected to hate or being expected to explain themselves. Her exchange with Kareena also underlined the importance of challenging gender inequality and deeply rooted patriarchal attitudes.
