Dia Mirza opens up about anxiety; says, I didnt have the vocabulary to define it

Dia Mirza has built a multifaceted identity over the years, balancing her work in films with her roles as a producer, writer and social activist. While she has managed these different aspects of her life, the actress has also experienced her share of challenges. In a recent conversation, Dia opened up about dealing with pressure and anxiety and explained how recognising what she was going through helped her work towards becoming a better version of herself. Talking about the pressure she experienced, Dia said, It was an inability to deal with pressure. And I dont think most of us are equipped to deal with that kind of pressure. Many of us break, and we dont even know we are breaking. How many of us live with anxietyhow many of us know our relationships are so hard because we are living with constant anxiety, and that comes from being in a system that is not fueling purpose and is not giving you the space to be. For Dia, taking a step back from the constant pressure and noise allowed her to find greater balance and focus. Reflecting on that phase, she said, From the moment that I stepped back, I am actually doing much more now than Ive ever done in my life before. I became a film producer at 26; I wrote articles; I worked on the ground with multiple NGOs. I have such a full-body, textured, nuanced existence that I thrive in. And its all self-created. No one told me to do these things. I do them because they give me joy, and they deepen my purpose. And yes, I was anxious; I didnt have the vocabulary to define it at the time. Dia also acknowledged that anxiety remains a part of her life even today. Speaking about her current experiences, she said, I get anxious even now. I work in climate and gender parity. I feel all levels of anxiety practically daily, while adding that she has become better at recognising those feelings and working through them. The actress believes that understanding her own emotions and physical responses has also helped her in her personal life. I think I am a better mother because Im able to recognise whats happening with my body, she said. For Dia, identifying anxiety and learning how to navigate it has been an important part of finding a more grounded way of living. Rather than allowing pressure to define her, she has focused on creating a life driven by purpose and activities that bring her joy. On the professional front, Dia has recently been seen in projects including Ikka and Operation Safed Sagar. As she approaches 25 years in the film industry, the actress continues to explore varied roles and projects, with audiences looking forward to seeing more of her work.

Tumbbad 2: Sohum Shah returns to iconic wada from original film; team discovers Aate Ki Gudiya moulds during recce

As anticipation builds around Tumbbad 2, actor-producer Sohum Shah has revisited one of the most recognisable locations from the original film. Shah recently shared pictures from the iconic wada where the 2018 horror film was shot, taking fans back to the setting that played a key role in the story. In the pictures, Sohum Shah can be seen sitting on the stairs near the front door of the wada. The location holds particular significance for the Tumbbad franchise, as several important events from the first film unfolded there. The wada was also central to the mythology established in Tumbbad, with the Goddesss womb and Hastar forming an important part of the story. The original film concluded at the same location, making its return especially relevant as the makers work on the sequel. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sohum Shah (@shah_sohum) Interestingly, during a recent recce of the wada, the Tumbbad 2 team reportedly discovered the original aate ki gudiya moulds used for the first film. According to the information shared by the makers, the moulds had remained at the location since the original shoot and were found untouched years later. The discovery comes as the team continues to develop the next chapter of the franchise. Released in 2018, Tumbbad starred Sohum Shah and gained a cult following for its folklore-inspired narrative, distinctive visual world and atmospheric horror. The film received renewed attention after its theatrical re-release in 2024, when it reached a wider audience and performed strongly at the box office. The sequel has also expanded its cast. Nawazuddin Siddiqui joined Tumbbad 2, while Alia Bhatt has come on board in a pivotal role. The casting announcements were made by Sohum Shah in July, bringing Shah, Bhatt and Siddiqui together for the next instalment of the franchise. Tumbbad 2 is being spearheaded by Sohum Shah under his banner Sohum Shah Films in collaboration with Pen Studios, headed by producer Dr. Jayantilal Gada. Adesh Prasad is directing the sequel, which is expected to further explore the world established in the first film. Pen Studios, which has backed films including RRR and Gangubai Kathiawadi, is collaborating on the project as the makers prepare to mount the sequel on a larger cinematic scale. Tumbbad 2 is slated to release in cinemas on December 3, 2027. Also Read: Alia Bhatt begins Tumbbad 2 shoot, joins Sohum Shah and Nawazuddin Siddiqui

The Traitors season 2 week 3: Shahneel Gill EXPOSED, Rida Tharana turns Traitor; Shweta Tiwari and Rhea Chakraborty exit

Week 3 of The Traitors Season 2 brought another series of twists as the Innocents managed to identify a third Traitor, only for the game to change direction soon after. Shahneel Gill was exposed as a Traitor, while Krystle DSouza recruited Rida Tharana, one of the strongest voices against the Traitors, to join her side. The week also saw Shweta Tiwari and Rhea Chakraborty leave the game, while tasks involving Destiny Cards, curses, coffins, fire and blindfolds added more uncertainty to the palace. Shweta Tiwari reacts to her murder Shweta Tiwaris murder left her allies Shalini and Mallika visibly upset. Shweta recalled how the other contestants had strongly defended her during the previous days discussions and said she expected the Traitors to target her. I knew it! I knew it! Mujhe pata tha woh mera murder kar denge kyuki kal jis tarah sab lad rahe the mere liye ki yeh traitor nahi hai, yeh traitor nahi hai, yeh traitor nahi hai... mujhe pata tha main murder ho jayungi, Shweta said. Rhea Chakraborty calls her exit Dj Vu Rhea Chakraborty also found herself under suspicion during the Circle of Shaq. After being eliminated, she thanked the contestants and spoke about the friendships she had formed during her time on the show. I had a great time with all of you, aap log mere family away from family ban gaye, but I really love all of you, and I am sorry agar circle of shaq mai ek dusre pe finger uthaya, Rhea said. She added, Krystle, Sahil, Mallika ji, but it's just a game, and I hope that we can all be friends outside the game. This felt like deja vu. Roses are red, violets are blue, I am in my chapter two. How dare you? I am an innocent. Always have been, always will be. Thank you! Shahneel Gill exposed as third Traitor Tanyas questioning put Shahneel Gill under pressure as the latter struggled to explain the letter received by the Innocents each morning. Her responses eventually convinced the palace that she was hiding something. Even Shalinis Destiny Card could not prevent Shahneel from being exposed. After her elimination, she spoke about the friendships she had formed during the show. Guys mujhe bohot maza aaya, aap sabke sath time bitake, baatein karke, I didn't know ki main itni khoobsurat friendships apne sath wapis leke jayungi, Shahneel said. She added, And I am very happy that I got to be part of such a beautiful game, and I love you guys! Guys, main sabse innocent traitor hoon! Shahneels elimination followed the exits of Harman Singha and Aaditya Kulshreshth, also known as Kullu, making her the third Traitor to be identified by the Innocents. Rida Tharana joins Krystle DSouza Despite the Innocents' success in identifying Traitors, Krystle DSouza received an opportunity to recruit another player. She chose Rida Tharana, who had consistently been vocal about identifying the Traitors. Rida accepted the offer and joined Krystle on the Traitors side. The shift immediately changed the dynamics inside the palace, with Rida joining Krystle in the murder of Tanya. The game then took another turn during a task involving curses, coffins and fire. The Innocents made a wrong decision, resulting in Ikka becoming the latest casualty. Prish trusts Rida despite new developments Ridas move went unnoticed by Prish, who continued to consider her the only contestant he could completely trust. While discussing possible Traitors, Prish named several players but ruled out Rida. Koi bhi traitor ho sakta hai, iss time pe merko Dalip sir bhi lagte hai, Ansh bhi, merko Rida ke alawa sab traitor lagte hai, kyuki Rida is the only person who had the shield, so wahi ek person hai jo 100% innocent hai abhi tak, Prish said. Anshs journey comes to an end The weeks final task involved blindfolds, moving boxes and the ability to eliminate another contestant. Ansh, who was still affected by the previous mission, chose not to participate. His journey subsequently came to an end at the Circle of Shaq. Reflecting on his time on the show, Ansh said, Thank you so much guys, merko bohot acha laga yeha pe aake... yeh show mere life ka best show hai, matlab merko ek chance mila, aap log ke sath khela, aap log bohot ache log ho sab, aur mujhe bohot maza aaya. He concluded, Main day one se innocent tha, hoon aur rahunga! With Krystle now joined by Rida, the balance of power inside the palace has shifted once again. As the finale approaches, the remaining contestants are left wondering who the Traitors will target next. Hosted by Karan Johar, the latest episodes of The Traitors Season 2 are streaming exclusively on Prime Video.

Anshuman Jha says Asha Bhosles final feature song for the film Om Ka Hari is one of the most profound moments of his life

The final recorded feature film song by legendary playback singer Asha Bhosle is set to be released posthumously as part of the upcoming drama-comedy Om Ka Hari. Titled Ae Meri Zindagi, Tu Chupi Hai Kahan, the song will be unveiled on September 8, which marks Asha Bhosles birth anniversary. The song is being presented as a tribute to Asha Bhosle and her contribution to Indian music and cinema. According to the makers, the track explores themes of life, love and the importance of expressing emotions. The song was recorded in late 2023, when the singer was over 90 years old. For actor Anshuman Jha, who stars in and is closely associated with Om Ka Hari, the song carries a personal significance. The film revolves around the relationship between a father and son and explores the emotional distance that can emerge between two generations. Speaking about the song and his experience of working with Asha Bhosle, Anshuman Jha said, Om Ka Hari is deeply special to me because, at its heart, it is about the importance of saying I love you to your father, something I never got the chance to do. To have Asha Jis voice carry the song that represents the catharsis of the film is one of the most profound and memorable moments of my life as an artist. Being in the studio with her was pure joy and contentment. I only wish she were here in person to celebrate this moment with us. But I know she is always with usin spirit, in her music, and in every life her voice continues to touch. Directed by Harish Vyas, Om Ka Hari is a father-son relationship drama-comedy featuring Anshuman Jha, Raghubir Yadav, Soni Razdan and Ayesha Kapur in principal roles. The story centres on two stubborn men from different generations and the conflict that develops between them. The film explores themes of family, love and conflict while focusing on the difficulty of expressing emotions within close relationships. At the centre of the narrative is the father-son dynamic and the emotional conversations that often remain unspoken. Director Harish Vyas said the decision to launch the song on Asha Bhosles birth anniversary is intended to celebrate her legacy. Launching the song on her birthday is intended as a celebration of Asha Jis timeless voice, her immense legacy and the generations of listeners whose lives her music has touched, he said. Produced by First Ray Films, Om Ka Hari is directed by Harish Vyas. His previous directorial credits include NFDCs Angrezi Mein Kehte Hain, starring Sanjay Mishra, Anshuman Jha and Pankaj Tripathi, and Disney+ Hotstars Hum Bhi Akele, Tum Bhi Akele, featuring Anshuman Jha and Zareen Khan. With Asha Bhosles voice forming part of its musical narrative, Ae Meri Zindagi, Tu Chupi Hai Kahan is expected to hold particular significance for the film and its team when it is released on September 8.

A R Rahman records 3 songs for Shekhar Kapurs Masoom: The Next Generation

National Award winner Shekhar Kapur is set to revisit his iconic film Masoom with a fresh take titled Masoom: The Next Generation. The original film, which released 43 years ago, holds a special place in Indian cinema and continues to be regarded as a cult classic. The latest update on the much awaited film is that Academy Award winner A R Rahman has already begun work on the project. Rahman will compose the music for the film and has already recorded three songs in Los Angeles. He will also co-produce the project alongside Shekhar Kapur. Shekhar and Rahmans association dates back to 2002, when they collaborated on the Bollywood style musical Bombay Dreams in London. The musical came into being after Shekhar introduced Andrew Lloyd Webber to Bollywood music, eventually bringing Rahman on board for the production. Masoom: The Next Generation is a fresh take on Shekhar Kapurs iconic drama. Like the original, the film will explore changing family dynamics, identity and relationships across generations. Masoom: The Next Generation is the second film in the series after the iconic Masoom, which released in 1983. It will star Naseeruddin Shah, Shabana Azmi and Jugal Hansraj from the original cast. Interestingly, Jugal played a child actor in the first film. Kaveri Kapur, the daughter of Shekhar Kapur, will make her acting debut with the sequel. It will also star Manoj Bajpayee and Nithya Menen in pivotal roles.

Chahatt Khanna loses 7 Kgs to play a cop in 'Pati Patni and Panga': I took the preparation very seriously

Chahatt Khanna is set to portray a police officer in the upcoming web series Pati Patni and Panga, which will stream on Amazon MX soon. The actress-entrepreneur underwent a significant physical transformation to bring authenticity to her character, losing around 7 kgs and completing intensive training focused on strength, stamina and the body language required for the role. Her preparation went beyond her physical appearance. Chahatt followed a disciplined workout routine and attended focused training sessions to understand the mindset and physicality of a police officer. Talking about the transformation, Chahatt says, When you are playing the character of a cop, you cannot just depend on costumes and makeup. The character needs to reflect in your body language, your fitness and the way you carry yourself. I knew I had to physically transform myself for the role, so I took the preparation very seriously. The actress adds, I lost around 7 kilos for the character and it was challenging because it required a lot of discipline and consistency, but I wanted the transformation to look natural on screen. I have shot a few action scenes for the series and thankfully my MMA (mixed martial arts) training of months came handy. While the physical transformation was demanding, Chahatt says understanding the attitude and temperament of a police officer was another important part of her preparation. The physical aspect was only one part of the preparation. I also worked on the way a cop walks, stands, reacts and handles situations. There has to be a certain confidence and authority in your body language. I wanted to bring that conviction to the character, she shares. Apart from Pati Patni and Panga, Chahatt will also appear in Hungama OTT's Hasratein, where she will play the role of a single mother.

A big shout out to the sweetest & kindest family that lives in Paris. I was down with fever & not feeling great at all. My friend mentioned that to her neighbour & Wow !

The Partition drama, directed by Rajkumar Santoshi, stars Preity opposite Sunny Deol and was released in theatres on August 14. Speaking about returning to the sets after several years, Preity had earlier admitted that the experience came with its share of nervousness. There were nerves, she said. She recalled that Santoshi made her first day particularly challenging by giving her one of the films toughest scenes. He (director Santoshi) tortured me on day one by putting the most difficult scene of the film on the first day. So I was just looking at him (Sunny Deol), and I was shaking ki abhi main kya karoon (what do I do know)? He is a wonderful, big-hearted, kind, decent, good human being to work with because he really was like, Dont worry, he loves retakes. Kuch khaayegi (Will you eat something)? Once among Hindi cinemas most popular and highest-paid actors, Preity stepped away from acting full-time after marriage. Since 2008, she has appeared in only a handful of films, with Bhaiaji Superhit marking her last full-length role before her recent return.

EXCLUSIVE: Abhimanyu Singh reveals he stopped getting work in TV after film debut, Amitabh Bachchan-Manoj Bajpayee starrer, Aks failed; shares thoughts on finally getting his due after 25 years

Actor Abhimanyu Singh has built a reputation for portraying intense and layered characters across Hindi, Telugu and Tamil cinema. From his acclaimed performance as Rananjay Singh, popularly known as Ransa, in Gulaal to his roles in films such as Sye, Rakta Charitra, Gabbar Singh, Theeran Adhigaaram Ondru and Devara: Part 1, the actor has taken on several challenging parts during his career. In an exclusive interview with Bollywood Hungama, Abhimanyu Singh opened up about his journey in the film industry and recalled how the failure of his debut film Aks, which completed 25 years since its release, affected his career in its early stages. Directed by Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra, Aks featured Amitabh Bachchan, Manoj Bajpayee, Raveena Tandon and Nandita Das, among others. Abhimanyu revealed that the film's failure had an immediate impact on the work opportunities coming his way. Yeah. It did. Matlab tab main serial wagera karta tha. Aur phir jab woh film aayi, Aks, uske baad serials mein bhi kaam milna band ho gaya, kyunki woh film flop ho gayi thi, he said. The actor recalled the contrast between making his debut alongside Amitabh Bachchan and subsequently finding himself without work. Ek taraf main kahan Amitabh Bachchan ke saath kaam kar raha tha aur ek taraf reality ye thi ke mere paas dusra koi kaam nahi tha, he said. However, Abhimanyu did not view the setback entirely negatively. He felt that facing failure early in his career helped him understand the value of success and the importance of staying grounded. Lekin mujhe laga ke chalo theek hai, shuruvat mein hi jhatka mil jaye toh better hai, he said. Kyunki kai baar agar safalta aapko shuruvat mein mil jaati hai toh uski importance ke value aap samajhte nahi ho. Aur uss chakkar mein kya hota hai ke aap bahot badi baazi lose kar sakte ho. Abhimanyu Singh calls Rakta Charitra a turning point While Aks proved to be a difficult beginning, Abhimanyu's career took a major turn with Rakta Charitra. His portrayal of Bukka Reddy in the Ram Gopal Varma-directed film received significant appreciation, particularly in the South. The day it got released in down South, everybody was shocked to see my performance. Everybody loved me as Bukka Reddy. It was a very challenging role for me, Abhimanyu recalled. The actor said the response to the film opened up new opportunities for him in South Indian cinema. Luckily, it opened all the doors down South. And then there was no looking back from there. It was indeed the turning point of my career, he said. Abhimanyu Singh admits his talent has not been explored fully yet Despite his extensive work across industries, Abhimanyu believes there is still more that filmmakers can explore when it comes to his acting abilities. Addressing fans who feel that Bollywood has not utilised his talent to its full potential, he agreed with their assessment. Fans keep commenting. And I agree, my talent has not been explored fully yet, he said. The actor also pointed to his eight years of theatre experience and expressed hope that he will continue to receive more demanding roles. I have done theatre for 8 years. But now I am getting my due and I feel that in the future people will give me more challenging roles, he said. And then the penance I did in theatre as an actor will be successful. Abhimanyu Singh on Bollywood and South Cinema Having worked extensively in both Hindi and South Indian films, Abhimanyu does not see a major difference between the industries today. According to him, the common factor is the passion for filmmaking. Not much of a difference. Because film industry is film industry and the working style is also the same, he said. He added, And the passion is same. People are like-minded. So, I don't see much of a difference in South Indian films and Bollywood films now. Abhimanyu Singh was recently seen as Hansraj Meena in Amazon Prime Video's Adarsh Baal Vidyalaya, with the character receiving a positive response from viewers. The series has also been renewed for a second season. He was subsequently seen in Batwara 1947, backed by Aamir Khan Productions and starring Sunny Deol. The film also marked his reunion with filmmaker Rajkumar Santoshi nearly three decades after their previous collaboration.
