During a conversation with ScoutOp, Uditi described the breakup as an important turning point in her life and said she later realised that it had worked in her favour. Mere liye breakup was really a blessing in disguise, Uditi said, while reflecting on how her personal and professional life changed after the relationship ended. Uditi Singh recalls frequent clashes with ex Talking about the relationship, Uditi revealed that differences in their everyday lives became a source of repeated disagreements.

According to her, they had very different expectations when it came to maintaining their surroundings, which added to the tension in their relationship. Mere tareeke alag safai ke, uske alag, she said. Uditi says she felt demotivated Uditi further claimed that their age difference also influenced the dynamics of their relationship. She alleged that her former partner would sometimes adopt a dominant approach towards her and make comments that left her feeling discouraged. Recalling some of the remarks she heard, Uditi said, Aap nahi kar paoge, aapko nahi aata. She summed up how the dynamic affected her by saying, Partner hi demotivate kar raha hai. Uditi Singh and Karan Wahis reported relationship Uditi Singh and Karan Wahi were reportedly in a relationship from around 2019, although the two did not publicly confirm their romance initially.

The physical altercation between Siwet Tomar and Shehzad Poonawalla in Rise And Fall Season 2 has continued to draw attention after Siwet was ejected from the show. Following the incident, Shehzads team stated on social media, addressing the events and defending his conduct during the confrontation. Rise And Fall Season 2 premiered on September 26, 2026. The clash took place during the Ultimate Ruler race in the Penthouse, after tensions between the two contestants had already been building. During the race, the Rulers were asked to identify the contestant they considered the weakest decision-maker. Several contestants named Siwet, resulting in him being eliminated from that particular race. Siwet subsequently used his remaining power to name Shehzad as the weakest decision-maker. The situation escalated later when Shehzad questioned Siwet about his interaction with Swara Bhasker. Siwet had earlier said that he would not speak to Swara following her comments surrounding Rajput women and the Padmaavat Jauhar scene. Shehzad questioned the apparent contradiction, leading to an argument between the two. The confrontation eventually turned physical, with Siwet grabbing Shehzad by the neck and pushing him down. Shehzad was left injured, with his clothes also torn during the altercation. Siwet was subsequently ejected from the show. Shehzads team issues statement Following the incident, Shehzads team shared a statement on social media, highlighting what they described as the contestants decision to remain composed despite being subjected to verbal provocation before the confrontation. The statement read, THEY ABUSED HIM, HE WAS SILENT THEY MOCKED HIM, HE WAS SILENT THEN THEY HIT HIM, HE WAS SILENT. The statement further read, Shehzad lost his father when he was just a child. His mother is growing older, and he doesnt share an easy relationship with his brother because of their ideological differences. He came to the show to play, work and earn his livelihood, yet you chose to abuse and attack him physically from behind. Concluding the note, they wrote, Even when you provoked him with your words, Shehzad chose to respond with maturity and treated everyone with respect. That says more about you than it ever could about him. People are watching. You can abuse him, try to silence him or push him down but you cannot defeat his spirit. He will rise again, every single day, stronger than before. Thank you to everyone for this overwhelming love and support Jai Hind! View this post on Instagram A post shared by Shehzad Poonawalla (@shehzadpoonawalla) Swara Bhasker and Karan Patel react The altercation also led to a reaction from fellow contestants Swara Bhasker and Karan Patel. Both contestants walked out in protest, arguing that Shehzad had also provoked Siwet during the confrontation and questioning the decision to punish only Siwet. However, the latest precap showed both Karan and Swara still present in the show, while Siwet appeared to be absent following his ejection. Rise And Fall Season 2 features contestants competing across the Penthouse and Basement, with the game built around power, strategy and shifting alliances. The new episodes stream daily at 12 PM on MX Player and Amazon Prime Video. Also Read:Rise And Fall Season 2: Siwet Tomar eliminated after physical fight with Shehzad Poonawalla
Lyricist Mehboob has carved a distinct niche for himself, having penned some of the finest songs of the 1990s and 2000s for films such as Rangeela (1995), Bombay (1995), Daud (1997), Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam (1999), Thakshak (1999) and Yuva (2004), among others. In the mid-2000s, he suffered from multiple slipped discs, as a result of which lyric writing took a backseat. He made a comeback with Heropanti 2 (2022) and, more recently, penned Adnan Sami's much-loved single, 'Ishq Tamasha'. In an exclusive interview with Bollywood Hungama, Mehboob spoke about 'Ishq Tamasha' and shared fascinating anecdotes and trivia as he went down memory lane. 'Ishq Tamasha' was recently released and has been quite loved. How has the feedback been? The response has been very heartwarming. Whenever you write something, you obviously hope that people will connect with it, and it feels wonderful when they do. I have always believed that emotions don't really change with time. Love, heartbreak, longing - these feelings remain the same. 'Ishq Tamasha' comes from that emotional space, so seeing people connect with the words and the song has made me very happy. How did you get associated with the song and how was it working with Adnan Sami? Adnan and I have known each other and worked together earlier as well. He had sung Baadal in Yuva (2004), which I had written, and we had also worked together on Aaja Aaja from Yeh Raaste Hain Pyaar Ke (2001). So, this wasn't our first association, but we were coming together after a long time. When Adnan got this tune, we started working on it and during that process, the phrase 'Ishq Tamasha' came about. We liked the thought and decided to build the song around it. The idea was that when outside voices, circumstances or misunderstandings enter a relationship, love itself can become a tamasha. Working with Adnan again after so many years felt very natural. It's a pleasure to have you back and I believe you were away due to health reasons. How are you doing now and did you miss songwriting during your sabbatical? I am doing much better now, Alhamdulillah, and I am happy to be writing again. Of course, I missed writing. Writing has been such an important part of my life that you cannot really separate yourself from it completely. Even when you aren't sitting down to write a song, you are observing life, feeling things and collecting experiences somewhere within you. What surprised me when I returned was that creatively, I didn't feel that I had changed. The emotions are still the same - romance, sadness, pathos, melancholy. You still have a tune, a situation and an emotion, and you try to find the right words for them. A film whose music is timeless is Rangeela (1995), one of your earliest films. Most lyricists in our industry are from the North, but you are an exception as you were born in Mumbai. Do you think this factor also played a part in writing lyrics of Rangeela, especially the lines sung by a tapori character like Aamir Khan? Absolutely, growing up in Mumbai gives you an ear for the city. You hear the language spoken on the streets - its rhythm, humour, slang and attitude. Munna (Aamir Khan) wasn't somebody who could suddenly start speaking very polished, literary Hindi in a song. His words had to sound like they belonged to the same person you had just seen speaking on screen. For me, lyrics have to belong to the character and the situation. So, with Rangeela, particularly Munna's songs, the challenge was to retain that Mumbai flavour while still making the words musical. If the audience felt that Munna was speaking even when he was singing, then I think the writing did its job. I saw the making video of the song 'Kya Karein Ya Na Karein' and realized that the lyrics were different initially. What led to the change of lyrics? The lyrics did go through a change before we arrived at the final version that everyone knows today. Initially, the first antara I wrote was a bit poetic. After the recording, Ramu ji (Ram Gopal Varma) and I felt that it was not suitable for Munna's character. He wouldn't use such poetic and literary language and hence, I changed it to what you hear today. Your songs in Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam (1999) are also legendary. Interestingly, I read in an interview that 'Tadap Tadap Ke' was finalized for another film which eventually got shelved. Which film was it, who was making it and who starred in it? Yes, 'Tadap Tadap Ke' existed even before Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam. Ismail Darbar and I used to create songs and keep them in our song bank, and this was one of them. It had actually been finalised for a film titled Dus. It was supposed to be directed by the late Mukul Anand ji, but unfortunately Mukul ji passed away and the film was shelved. In that film, Dilip Kumar Sahab was playing the character of a Sufi qawwal. So, we had actually made the song for him. Later, it became the first song Sanjay Leela Bhansali heard from us. He loved it, and eventually that very song became one of the reasons we got Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam. Sometimes a song has its own destiny.

Tara Sutaria has often spoken about different aspects of her life in the public eye, but during a recent appearance on Fashionably Pernia, the actor opened up about something more personal: the way she and her sister were raised by their parents. Speaking about her childhood, Tara said her parents made a conscious effort to treat both daughters as equals and gave their opinions importance from an early age. According to the actor, being treated with that level of respect helped her develop confidence and a stronger sense of self. My mom and dad kind of always treated my sister and me like we were equals. We were kind of treated like adults when we were kids, and our opinions always mattered, Tara said. The actor believes that allowing children to feel heard can have a lasting impact on their confidence. For Tara, this was also reflected in the way disagreements were handled at home. I think that gives a child so much confidence. We also enjoy arguing, which I think sometimes families feel out of respect, kids might not feel comfortable having a healthy argument. Like our family loves to agree to disagree. And I love that about our family, she shared. For Tara, the ability to disagree openly became another part of growing up in an environment where her voice was valued. She suggested, So I think that brings maturity, confidence and a certain... again, adds to your sense of self. Tara Sutarias Work Front On the work front, Tara Sutaria was most recently seen in Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups, which released theatrically on August 26, 2026. Directed by Geetu Mohandas and led by Yash, the pan-India action film features Tara as Rebecca Almeida, a character with a vintage-inspired look and a romantic arc opposite Yash in the first half of the film.

Raashii Khanna has established herself across Hindi, Tamil and Telugu cinema, taking on projects in multiple languages during her career. While working across industries has allowed the actress to explore different characters and stories, it has also required her to constantly adapt to new languages, accents and dialects. During a recent Ask Me Anything session, Khanna opened up about the process, describing it as a continuous learning experience. Speaking about the preparation involved in getting the linguistic details right for her roles, Raashii said, It honestly feels like I am in a lifelong exam that just doesn't end. There's always another language, another accent, another pronunciation to get right. And unfortunately, there's no graduation day. The actress has worked in projects across different language industries, making language preparation an important part of taking on roles outside her linguistic comfort zone. From getting the pronunciation right to understanding the nuances of an accent or dialect, the process can involve preparation beyond the performance itself. For an actor working across multiple industries, such details can also become an important part of creating a believable character. Khannas comments offer a glimpse into the preparation that goes into moving between languages while continuing to build a career across Indian cinema. On the work front, Raashii Khanna is currently filming the second season of Raj & DKs Farzi. The series sees her return as RBI officer Megha Vyas, with Shahid Kapoor and Vijay Sethupathi also part of the cast. The second season is among her upcoming projects and will continue the story established in the first instalment. Khanna is also set to share the screen with Rajinikanth in the upcoming Tamil-language action thriller Dharman. The project adds another regional-language film to her upcoming slate. In addition, the actress has an untitled project with Akshay Kumar, Vidya Balan, and director Anees Bazmee in the pipeline. With projects spanning Hindi and South Indian cinema, Khanna continues to work across languages and industries, making linguistic preparation an ongoing part of her acting journey.

30 Years of Diljale: Harman Baweja recalls asking father Harry Baweja, What do you do as a director?
Thirty years after Diljale released, Harman Baweja has revisited memories from the films sets, recalling an early experience that shaped his understanding of filmmaking. The actor, producer and writer was 15 when he visited the sets of the film, directed by his father and filmmaker Harry Baweja, and found himself trying to understand what exactly a director does while every department on a film set appeared to have a defined role. Harman remembers watching the shoot of Shaam Hai Dhuan Dhuan, with Saroj Khan choreographing the song, Veeru Devgan handling the action and Naidu working on the camera. Observing the different departments at work, he eventually asked his father about his role as a director. I remember sitting and having lunch and then looking at my father and saying, I'm very confused, what do you do on set? Everybody on that lunch table laughed. I was like, Veeruji is doing the action, Sarojji is doing the choreography, Naidu uncle is doing the camera work. All the actors are doing their job. So, I was like, what are you doing as a director? Because everybody's doing their job, Harman recalled. According to Harman, Harry Bawejas response became an early lesson in how different departments come together to serve a films overall vision. He just looked at me and said, You're absolutely right. He told me the job of a director is to effectively tell and narrate a story in the audiovisual medium. These HODs, these technicians, these crews they're a plethora of talent, but eventually they all have to fall into the vision of what the director wants to say, Harman said. Another memory from the same shoot involved Shaam Hai Dhuan Dhuan. Harman recalls that after the song was initially recorded, both Harry Baweja and composer Anu Malik were not completely convinced with the result. The song was subsequently revisited before the team decided to go ahead with it. For Harman, the experience became an early example of trusting creative instinct and revisiting a piece of work when it did not feel right initially. Today, I feel so blessed that I had the chance to witness my father and all these great actors, technicians and choreographers doing their magic. Being around them at that age and seeing how a film comes together has definitely helped me become a better filmmaker. I carry those learnings with me as I continue to build my own journey and carry forward my father's legacy, he added. Three decades later, Harman has expanded his work across acting, production and writing. Following his acting comeback with Scoop, he took on a larger role at Baweja Studios as Managing Director and producer. He has also co-written and produced projects including Mrs. and System. His current slate includes Haq, Kaptaan, Bhagwat Chapter One: Raakshas, Dil Ka Darwaja and Jugaddu, while Captain India is currently on floors. For Harman, looking back at Diljale brings him back to an early set experience that introduced him to the collaborative nature of filmmaking. The lessons he recalls from watching his father work continue to inform his approach as he builds his own career across different aspects of the film industry.

Every 2 October, the internet remembers Vijay Salgaonkars trip to Panaji the satsang, the pav bhaji and the alibi he committed to memory. It is an unusual legacy for a thriller. More than a decade after the first Hindi film, a detail from its story has become an annual pop culture reference. Vijay has remained a compelling character for another reason. He is an ordinary man who makes an extraordinary choice to protect his family and then has to live with its consequences. Audiences can understand his instinct to protect his wife and daughters while still questioning the choices he makes. That conflict remains central to his character. Whenever Vijay seems to have found a way out, there is a sense of relief, followed by the question of what his actions might cost his family. The Drishyam franchise also allowed audiences to think alongside its protagonist. Vijays interest in cinema helps him notice details that others may overlook and construct a story that can stand up to scrutiny. The films encourage viewers to pay attention in much the same way observe a gesture, remember a date and question an explanation. The twists work because the clues are often visible, even when their significance is not immediately clear. This combination of family drama and suspense has helped the Hindi franchise maintain its theatrical appeal. Drishyam 2, which released in 2022, went on to become a major box office success, bringing audiences back to a case they believed they already understood. Now, the story is set to reach its final chapter with Drishyam: The Conclusion. In the film, the Salgaonkar family faces fresh pressure as SP Rajveer Singh Tomar joins Meera and Mahesh Deshmukh in their pursuit of the truth. Vijay has managed to navigate difficult situations before, but the question now is whether he can protect his family once again or whether the choices that helped them will eventually catch up with him. Even viewers familiar with the Malayalam films cannot assume they already know how this story will unfold. The Hindi conclusion follows a fresh story, giving this version of Vijay Salgaonkar a different final chapter. The mystery is also designed for the big screen, where the reactions of an audience can become part of the experience. Drishyam has often relied on moments when viewers notice the same clue and gradually understand what it means. On Friday, 2 October, the date that became closely associated with Vijay Salgaonkar returns as the story reaches its final chapter. Everyone remembers where Vijay said he was. Now, audiences will see where his story ends. Also Read : EXCLUSIVE: CBFC clears Drishyam The Conclusion WITHOUT a single cut; is 8 minutes longer than Drishyam 2

Radhikka Madan and Vijay Varma have opened up about the concerns surrounding intimate scenes being leaked and circulated online. The actors, who are part of Lust Stories 3, spoke about the risks involved in filming such scenes and how they deal with the possibility of footage being shared without their control. Their comments come after Radhika Apte recently recalled feeling scared when nude scenes from her 2016 film Parched were leaked online. The incident brought attention once again to the challenges actors can face when intimate footage from films reaches platforms and websites beyond the intended release. Radhikka Madan says leaks are beyond an actors control In an interview with News18, Radhikka Madan, who features in an intimate scene with Ali Fazal in Lust Stories 3, acknowledged that actors cannot completely control what happens to such footage once it is filmed. She said that performers need to trust the intention behind their work as well as the filmmakers who create the scene, before moving on from it. Radhikka also admitted that she considers the possibility of a leak while agreeing to perform an intimate scene. She said, Jinki nazrein kharab hai, unka hum kya kar sakte hai? We cant barge into their homes and tell them to refrain from doing these things. You genuinely cant do anything. When you do an intimate scene, you have to keep in mind that a leak is always a possibility. You go into it knowing that risk exists and also hope that it doesnt happen. Vijay Varma on dealing with audience gaze Vijay Varma also reflected on the issue, recalling his intimate scene with his then rumoured girlfriend Tamannaah Bhatia in Sujoy Ghoshs segment of Lust Stories 2. The scene was widely circulated online and reportedly downloaded from multiple websites. Talking about how he approaches intimate scenes despite the possibility of footage circulating, Vijay said, We need to be able to shut out the audience gaze while filming such scenes. We know that these clips are going to circulate a lot. Thats just the nature of how things work. There are some things you cant change. Certain clips get floated around a lot more on all kinds of pages. But if I cant let go of these thoughts, I wont be able to do the work that I do, and I cant be pushing boundaries as an actor. Lust Stories 3 is the third instalment in the anthology franchise. The film brings together Vikramaditya Motwane, Kiran Rao, Shakun Batra and Vishal Bhardwaj, who have directed four stories exploring love, desire, intimacy and modern relationships. The anthology features Vijay Varma, Radhikka Madan, Ali Fazal, Aditi Rao Hydari, Konkona Sen Sharma and others.
