Ive had the most wonderful time in Stockholm, working creatively and sharing these days with an extraordinary group of people! he wrote. The actor also spoke about the warmth he received from the team despite the cold weather in Stockholm.

Divya Dutta is pleased to have starred in three diverse projects in 2026. The web show Chiraiya was her first outing this year, followed by the recent movies Last Man In Tower and Gajab Raat. In an exclusive chat with Bollywood Hungama, Dutta looked back at the year with fondness. I have been very fortunate to have been a part of three projects, she said. All three have made huge impact on people in general. If I talk about Chiraiya, I cant tell you how many young girls and mothers have come up to me and told me how the show and my role impacted them and how they changed something about their lives because they saw the show. It is very overwhelming for an actor to feel that. The same with Last Man In Tower. It has absolutely shaken people up to nothing else but look within once. Dutta has been acting since over 30 years. When asked how she looks back at her journey so far, she said, I am just grateful because there was a little girl who dreamt of being an actor. She had a dream of working with idols and people she has looked up to. To look back and say, I did it all and on my own, I just need to pat my back, be very grateful and hungry to do even more further. The actor said that her criteria for choosing projects has always been pretty much the same. I need to jump up when I hear something; its an instant response. Its like when you go shopping and instantly like one dress and then you ask them to show four more. But you are fond of only the first one. So, what you instantly like is never wrong. The gut is always right. Thankfully, I have carved a niche where people look up to my choices. They say that when I do something, they know its something different. So, I wish to do something that I enjoy. I want to be nervous and excited, she said. Dutta describes herself as a total Hindi movie buff. She believes this year, like almost every other year, has been a mixed bag for Hindi cinema. Its a mixed bag; it always is. There are certain highs and lows. That always will be. You have had some huge hits and some damp squibs that you were not expecting. But there are so many new filmmakers coming up with their stories. The effort and hunger to do something better is seen, she said.

Vidyut Jammwal has spoken about the emotional impact of the reported firing incident involving Tiger Shroff in Mumbai, saying that the actor has every reason to feel stressed after going through such an experience. During a conversation with Ranveer Allahbadia, Vidyut recalled speaking to Tiger and shared his thoughts on how the incident could affect his personal life and fitness routine. Discussing the pressure Tiger might be dealing with, Vidyut said the experience could make him hesitant about activities he previously enjoyed, including playing football and sharing fitness videos on social media. I can imagine the pressure you have. With you, the experience you have gone through will limit you from playing football; you might not be posting a lot of fitness videos thinking people might make fun of you, or not posting your kicking videos, and that could be the reason for his ageing. This is the time when he can decide if he wants to become the fittest version of himself or become better than that. He is happy, stressed for sure, he said. Vidyut also recalled telling Tiger that the incident was an unusual experience, even by the standards of people who have encountered dangerous situations in their line of work. I was telling him that there would be nobody in the world who could say, 'I have seen a shooter shoot in front of my face.' This happens in the Army, he said. Emphasising the emotional toll of the incident, Vidyut added that Tiger's stress should not be dismissed as an ordinary reaction. I told Tiger that he has to be stressed because there has been an attempt to murder him, so it cannot be a normal experience. So, he is good and trying his best to get out of this, he added. The incident took place on October 18 outside a football club near Pushpa Narsee Park in Mumbai's Juhu area. Tiger was present at the location when shots were fired. He escaped unharmed, while his driver and an autorickshaw driver were injured. Also Read:Kitao Sakurai on casting Vidyut Jammwal in Street Fighter: Hes more Dhalsim than Dhalsim
Shanaya Kapoor will be seen playing a double role in the upcoming series Student of the Year: After Dark. Director Reema Maya has now spoken about the actor's preparation for the project, revealing that the team spent considerable time developing the two characters, Aditi and Ayesha, as distinct individuals. In a recent interview, Reema said the process involved detailed discussions about the characters' personalities, motivations, backgrounds and behaviour. The team worked on understanding how their respective life experiences shaped the way they spoke, dressed and interacted with others. Talking about her experience of working with Shanaya, the director said, And it was the same process with Shanaya also; it was a lot of in-depth conversations, and it was a lot of clear separation between who Aditi is, who Ayesha is, what motivates each character, what their life history has been so far till they reach the point that the show is set in, what their interpersonal dynamics have been, and why Aditi is the way she is, why does she dresses the way she does, talks the way she does, feels the way she does. Reema also explained that the two roles were approached as separate characters rather than variations of the same personality. She praised Shanaya's preparation and the effort she put into understanding both parts. Similarly, for Ayesha and we pretty much treated them as two separate characters and I think Shanaya worked really hard. She was very prepared, she added. The double role marks another opportunity for Shanaya to explore a different aspect of her acting. The actor has previously appeared in Aankhon Ki Gustakhiyan and Tu Yaa Main. With Student of the Year: After Dark, she will take on the challenge of portraying two characters with different personalities and backstories. Apart from the series, Shanaya also has projects such as JC and the Telugu film Zombie Reddy: NXT LVL in her lineup. Further details about the release of Student of the Year: After Dark have not been provided in the announcement.

She also urged them to continue supporting him despite the situation between the two. Towards the end of the livestream, Kaashvi made another remark that caught viewers' attention. To be very honest, this for me is final act and the last dance, she said, adding, But, ye do log ki cheez hai to speak about. Her comments come after ScoutOP's bond with Love Gill inside the Bigg Boss 20 house became a subject of debate.

Ranbir Kapoor clarifies last decade as an actor remark; plans directorial debut in 2-3 years
Ranbir Kapoor has spoken about his plans to move behind the camera, revealing that he hopes to make his directorial debut within the next two to three years. In a recent interview with BBC Asian Network alongside his Ramayana co-star Sai Pallavi, the actor also suggested that the coming decade could be his last playing the kind of demanding lead roles he currently takes on. Discussing his packed schedule and aspirations as a filmmaker, Ranbir said, I guess, its my last decade as an actor; will I get to play these parts? I do want to kind of pivot towards direction. His remark appeared to take Sai Pallavi by surprise, prompting her to respond, Ohhh... and seek clarification. Ranbir then explained that he was referring to the kind of roles he currently gets to play, rather than announcing an immediate retirement from acting. What I mean is where I can get to play these parts, he clarified, referring to films such as Ramayana.
