Dia Mirza shares experience from One Young World Summit in Cape Town, highlights young changemakers
Actor and environmentalist Dia Mirza recently attended the One Young World Summit in Cape Town, South Africa, where she interacted with young leaders and changemakers from different parts of the world. Sharing pictures from the event on Instagram, the actor reflected on the discussions and spoke about the role of young people in addressing environmental and social challenges. In her post, Dia highlighted the importance of taking action rather than simply hoping for change. Hope is in the action, she wrote, describing her experience at the summit as deeply moving and inspiring. The actor also spoke about her conversation with polar explorer and climate communicator Grace Cordsen, which focused on the role of storytelling in building awareness about the environment. My conversation with the wonderful polar explorer and climate communicator Grace Cordsen was a beautiful reminder of the power of storytelling to connect us to each other and to our living planet. From the forests of India to the melting Arctic, our stories may emerge from different landscapes, but they carry a shared truth. What we love, we protect, Dia wrote. Dia Mirza on the importance of young voices Reflecting on the summit, Dia said the platform gave young people an opportunity to exchange ideas, find support and work towards meaningful change. She noted that the conversations offered a sense of hope at a time when global challenges can often feel overwhelming. The actor also spoke about how the young leaders she met reinforced her belief in empathy and collective action. In a world where despair can feel overwhelming, these young leaders remind us that empathy is powerful, courage is contagious and hope is not passive. Hope is what we do, she wrote. Concluding her note, Dia shared her belief that the future depends on the choices people make today. The future is not something we inherit. It is something we create. Together, she said. Dia has been associated with environmental and sustainability initiatives for several years. Through her public engagements and social media platforms, she has continued to speak about conservation, climate awareness and the need for collective action.

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.

Bigg Boss 20: Kaashvi Hiranandani hints at a breakup with Scout OP? Heres what we know!
Kaashvi Hiranandani has made a series of cryptic remarks about her relationship with gaming influencer and Bigg Boss 20 contestant ScoutOP, aka Tanmay Singh, during a recent livestream. Her comments come amid the controversy surrounding ScoutOP's closeness with singer Love Gill inside the reality show house, which has drawn criticism from viewers and prompted a confrontation during Weekend Ka Vaar. During the livestream, Kaashvi made a seemingly pointed remark about the duration of her relationship with ScoutOP. 5 saal hi toh the, auron ne toh...if you know, you know, she said, before laughing. She then addressed ScoutOP's fans and encouraged them to watch the show for entertainment rather than get involved in the discussions surrounding the contestants. Aap log show ke jaisa dekho, enjoy karo, be entertained, she added. Kaashvi also asked his genuine supporters not to give the controversy unnecessary attention, suggesting that reacting to the discussions could only fuel them further. Kaashvi says she is taking things one day at a time Speaking about her own situation, Kaashvi admitted that she was navigating an unfamiliar experience. Main bhi is situation mein nahi rahi hoon. So I'm taking everything one day at a time. Aisa roz toh nahi hota mere saath, she said. She also apologised to viewers if she had done anything wrong. Clarifying her approach, Kaashvi said she was not being unprofessional and pointed out how polarising situations can generate more engagement around a reality show. The thing about this show is that jitna zyada polarised cheezein hongi utna zyada response aayega. Utna log aur baatein karenge, she explained. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Bollywood Hungama (@realbollywoodhungama) She further said she was trying to remain level-headed and did not wish to address the conversations around insecurity. Reiterating her message to ScoutOP's supporters, she said, Meri taraf se I have done as much as possible to ScoutOp fans. 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. During Weekend Ka Vaar, Kaashvi confronted him over their closeness and asked him to maintain boundaries.

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.

When the lockdown was imposed, many predicted the death of cinema halls, with some even going to the extent of writing obituaries for the theatrical exhibition business. However, cinemas bounced back with a bang, thanks to a steady stream of exciting films across languages that brought audiences back to the big screen. The year 2026 has been particularly remarkable, with several films recording impressive footfalls. One film that stands out is Dhurandhar The Revenge, produced by Jio Studios and B62 Studios.Its predecessor, Dhurandhar (2025), was an all-time grosser, and hence, expectations from the sequel were sky-high. While the film went on to create history at the box office, its success also had an unexpected and highly positive ripple effect: it provided several cinema halls with the much-needed cash flow to undertake renovations and technological upgrades. A trade source told Bollywood Hungama, Dhurandhar The Revenge was one of a kind blockbuster. The ticket rates for it were hiked considerably and yet, it didnt deter the audiences who flocked to the theatres in large numbers. Often, certain films do well only in single-screens or multiplexes. But Dhurandhar The Revenge pulled in crowds in every theatre in every part of the country. No wonder it collected more than Rs. 1000 crores just in India. The source continued, Thanks to Dhurandhar The Revenge, many theatres got enough cash flow that motivated them to renovate and revamp, so that their patrons can get a better experience. Many such theatres went for renovation around July-August. Some of them opened with Ramayana during Diwali while a few of them are expected to resume operations in a few weeks from now. Mumbai, in particular, has witnessed a significant wave of cinema upgrades this year. Several theatres, including Roxy, SunCity, Jai Hind in Lalbaug and Topiwala, temporarily shut their doors to undergo renovations. Meanwhile, the popular MovieTime Hub in Goregaon and MovieTime in Malad upgraded all their screens to laser projection, promising audiences a sharper and brighter viewing experience. As per trade circles, South Mumbais New Excelsior may also go for an upgrade. Earlier this week, MovieMax in Andheri East upgraded to 2K projection, enabling the property to screen 3D films as well as Hollywood releases. Interestingly, Ramayana became the first 3D film to be screened at this MovieMax property. SunCity, meanwhile, has taken things a notch higher by installing a Magnova LED screen, a Premium Large Format (PLF) cinema display system designed to deliver an enhanced visual experience. Introduced by UFO Cinema Solutions, the technology made its Indian debut at Magic Framez in Kochi in August this year. SunCity is believed to be the second cinema hall in the country to adopt this advanced display system. The upgradation drive is not restricted to independent theatres. On November 6, Mid-Day reported that PVR Inox Cinemas had upgraded as many as 150 screens across the country with 3D technology to accommodate additional 3D shows of Ramayana. The trade source, however, was quick to put things into perspective. We are not saying that Dhurandhar The Revenge was the only reason or that every theatre in the country got renovated due to money generated from Dhurandhar. But it definitely played a huge role in many of the theatres. No wonder 2026 saw record cinemas getting revamped. This is a positive step, as giving a premium cinema experience to the viewers is no longer a luxury. Its a necessity, so that viewers ditch consuming content at home and get motivated to step out and buy a ticket at their nearest theatre.
