Filmmaker Vipul Amrutlal Shah and his production house Sunshine Pictures have released the third episode of their short-form crime series Bada Jurm Choti Kahani. Titled File 3: The Love Letter, the latest episode follows an investigation that begins with a mysterious death and a seemingly old romantic letter that turns out to be connected to a much more recent event. The weekly thriller series is a digital venture from Sunshine Pictures and is spearheaded by Sanjay Upadhyay, Creative Head of Sunshine Digital. The AI-powered series presents short crime stories designed around fictional investigations and releases a new episode every Thursday on the production houses official YouTube channel. File 3: The Love Letter centres on Mahesh Verma, a retired school teacher who is found dead inside his study. Investigators discover an old-looking romantic letter addressed to a woman named Shalini on his desk. Given the nature of the letter, the initial assumption is that Maheshs death could be linked to a relationship from his past. His son Amit also believes that his father may have been hiding a secret. The investigation takes a different direction when forensic analysis reveals that the letter is not decades old, as it initially appears to be. Instead, the paper was written only a few days before Maheshs death. This discovery prompts investigators to examine the circumstances surrounding the letter and Maheshs final days more closely. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sunshine Pictures (@sunshinepicturesofficial) As the case develops, investigators discover a hidden code embedded within the letter. The seemingly straightforward piece of writing therefore becomes an important clue, with the code pointing towards information Mahesh may have intended to reveal before his death. The episode combines the crime investigation with a family element, focusing on the relationship between Mahesh and his son. Rather than centring solely on the murder, the narrative uses the letter and its hidden message to explore the consequences of secrets within families. The episode concludes with a reflection on the relationship between parents and children: Parents want to understand their children, spend time with them, and live their lives alongside them... but sadly, sometimes they realize the truth far too late. Bada Jurm Choti Kahani previously began its weekly release following Sunshine Pictures short-form digital venture Ankahee. With File 3: The Love Letter, the series continues its format of presenting standalone crime stories built around clues, investigations and twists.

Priyanka Chopras mother, Dr Madhu Chopra, has shared her views on the controversy surrounding Kriti Sanons Raksha Bandhan advertisement for jewellery brand GIVA. Addressing the debate over Kritis outfit and the presentation of the festival, Madhu said that while she agrees with the principle of my body, my choice, she also believes that certain boundaries and cultural considerations should be kept in mind. The advertisement featured Kriti in an ivory bralette-style blouse paired with a cape and long skirt as she tied a rakhi to her on-screen brother and a pet. The campaign aimed to highlight the idea that the bond of protection associated with Raksha Bandhan can also extend to pets. However, the advertisement faced criticism from a section of social media users, particularly over Kritis outfit and the way the festival was depicted. Speaking to the media about the controversy, Madhu said, My body, my choice is right, but woh daayra zaruri hai. Dignity, respecting other peoples values is important. Ab yeh cheezein aisi jagah kar sakte hai jahan par yeh normal hai. Par yeh yahan normal nahi hai. Sorry to say that. She further explained that people, including her own children, may wear such outfits for professional or personal reasons, but she believes clothing should also suit the occasion and setting. Hamare bacche bhi pehente hai, kaam ke liye pehente hai, shauk ke liye pehente hai par jahan yeh normal ho aur mere khayal se acceptable aesthetically hona zaruri hai. Kriti, meanwhile, defended the campaign and questioned the criticism surrounding her appearance. Imagine being this bothered by what another woman chooses to wear. Respectfully, evolve. PS: Im the one she tied the rakhi to, and if I dont have a problem with it, why do you? The essence of festivals is not in the clothes you wear; it is in the emotions and meaning you attach to the traditions. She also explained the inclusion of pets in the campaign, saying, Raksha Bandhan is a bond of protection. My sister and I tie rakhi to each other. We know we can protect each other just as much as a brother would. We pray for each others health, happiness, and long life. For us, this prayer and promise extend to our dogs too. After all, they are family! Kriti further addressed the clothing debate, writing, Also, when will we stop telling women what to wear? Ethnic fashion has evolved over the years, yet a womans respect for her culture is still measured by her clothes. Culture and traditions are in her heart, not in her neckline! Actor Kangana Ranaut also criticised the campaign, questioning its styling and portrayal of Raksha Bandhan. She said, From all the options that are available to us today why would you tie your brother a Rakhi in your bikini/under garments? Where are all your styling options? Ha ha the advert looks intentionally creepy. Later, Kangana clarified that Kritis bralette was not her primary concern. She said, Who is stopping her from wearing whatever she wants? Who has ever stopped her? I dont think anyone has bothered about her clothes. The controversy eventually led GIVA to withdraw the advertisement from all media platforms. In its statement, the brand said, We have the highest regard and deep respect for Indian culture, traditions and festivals. As a brand, we have always believed in celebrating these joyous moments with the entire family and this time we wanted to extend the love and celebration to our pets. If our recent advertisement has inadvertently hurt the sentiments of some segments of society, that was not our intent at all. Out of respect, we have withdrawn the said advertisement from all media. Wish you all the love & positivity this festive season! Also Read : Priyanka Chopra shares Sunday dump from Hyderabad feat. mother Madhu and daughter Malti Marie!
Dia Mirza recently opened up about a challenging experience from the early years of her career and recalled how the difficult moment eventually helped her become more confident and comfortable in her own skin. The actor spoke about the experience during a recent interview with Bollywood Bubble. Dia recalled shooting for the song Mujhe Tumse Mohabbat Hai from the 2004 film Tumsa Nahi Dekha. She revealed that filming the sequence required her to be dressed in very little clothing while being surrounded by a large number of people on set. Looking back, she described it as one of the most difficult experiences she had faced as a young woman. She said, It was possibly one of the most difficult things that I've ever done as a girl. Because I had to strip bare, almost down to underwear and a bra, in front of hundreds of men on set. Despite how challenging the situation was, Dia explained that the experience ultimately had a positive impact on her. According to the actor, the people working on the shoot helped create an environment where she felt secure, allowing her to overcome her initial discomfort. She further said, It kind of liberated me in ways that I would have never imagined. And everyone working on it made me feel so safe. Dia Mirza entered the Hindi film industry at a young age and built her career without family connections in Bollywood. Before making her acting debut, she won the Miss Asia Pacific title in 2000, which brought her into the spotlight. In 2001, she made her Bollywood debut opposite R Madhavan in Rehnaa Hai Terre Dil Mein. The film went on to gain a strong following, while Dia continued to establish herself with performances in films such as Parineeta and Lage Raho Munna Bhai. The actor continues to remain active in the industry and has several projects associated with her, including Alpha and Ikka. Her latest role sees her portraying Kamalpreet Kaur Dhanoa in the Netflix drama series Operation Safed Sagar.

Taapsee Pannu has spoken about her decision to turn down certain film roles to avoid being confined to a particular image in the industry. Known for featuring in female-led and issue-based films such as Pink, Mulk, Thappad and Assi, the actor is now preparing for the release of Gandhari, an action thriller centred on a mothers fight to save her daughter. In a recent interview with news agency PTI, Taapsee discussed the challenges of avoiding typecasting in an industry where actors can often become associated with a specific kind of role. She said filmmakers frequently rely on familiar casting patterns, with certain actors repeatedly chosen for glamorous parts and others for more hard-hitting subjects. Everybody is going into their comfort zone and using tried-and-tested methods. For instance, for glamorous roles, they (industry) have a set of five actresses they can cast, and for hard-hitting, issue-based films, they have another set of five actresses to cast. I've actually started turning down films for this reason, telling makers that the audience will easily guess the ending. So, (I tell them) 'Don't cast me in this, it's bad for your film'. I've gone and 'de-sold' myself to a few films, she said. Taapsee also reflected on how her career developed differently from the conventional mainstream path. It's a snowball effect. From the beginning of my career, I had no options in regular mainstream cliched roles, which are actually money-spinners for actresses. I didn't get those kinds of roles; hence I took the other type of roles, and to my luck, those films and roles later became mainstream, she said. Directed by Devashish Makhija and written and produced by Kanika Dhillon, Gandhari follows a mother navigating danger and hidden truths after her daughter goes missing. Taapsee described the characters response as something beyond limits when a child is taken away. It's more like a mother's response, like how far can she go if her child is taken away from her? It's different from a crime against women. A child can be anyone's child, but the point is that if her offspring is taken away and she has to take things into her own hands, how far can she go? According to my understanding, there is no limit; you have unleashed a superpower that no one can control, Pannu said. The film also features Ishwak Singh, Jatin Sarna, Swastika Mukherjee, Mita Vashisht and Chhaya Kadam. Gandhari premieres on Netflix on September 3.

Taapsee Pannu, Kanika Dhillon and Guneet Monga Kapoor attended a session organized by WIF India and Kathha Pictures on women driving Indian cinema and the rise of female-led collaborations. The host asked whether it becomes difficult to mount female-led films, more so when a film, fronted by a heroine, bombs at the box office. Guneet Monga Kapoor said, A film, whether led by a man or a woman, when it works, it works. However, we are used to putting things in a box. At Sikhya Entertainment, the company that I run, we just got invested in. With that investment, we are making 4 films which are women-led. One of it is directed by someone fresh out of a film institute. I saw her short film and encouraged her to direct for us. She added, We live by examples and with the assumptions that 'Yeh film uski tarah hai', 'Yeh film nahin chali toh woh nahin chalegi'. But thats life. These are the cards that have been presented to us on the table. We cannot cry about it. She observed, You make a product and put money into it. If the product doesnt work, that equity is at risk of losing money. Thats why everyone is insecure. Every conversation is about equity, forget gender or non-gender. Guneet Monga Kapoor continued, Everything boils down to math. I remember attending a masterclass by Yash Chopra in 2007. He said, 'The scripts never fail. The budgets fail'. Hence, money management is central to producing and so is expectation management. If you get the budgets right, there's no stopping. Guneet then surprised the audience as she revealed, My most profitable films are Pagglait (2021) and Kathal (2023). Our ROIs are huge. Even in the case of The Lunchbox (2013), the ROI is massive. But go outside and people would tell you 'Bina gaano waali picture bana di', forget saying, 'Bina hero ki picture bana di'! She ended her answer by stating, Hence, at the centre of this whole thing is maths. Lets not put gender in maths.

Orhan Awatramani, popularly known as Orry, has opened up about a difficult chapter in his life involving veteran actress Amrita Singh. Recalling an incident from 2021, Orry described the period as one of the darkest phases he had experienced and said the situation had a lasting impact on him. During a conversation with Pinkvilla, Orry addressed Amrita Singh as Amrita Ali Khan and spoke about the emotional turmoil he went through at the time. He said, Back in 2021, when Amrita Ali Khan traumatised me, it was a lot. I don't think I have been through something like this. It was a very low and dark time in my life that really put me through hell. Orry explained that while he was going through the difficult phase, his primary focus was simply on getting out of it. However, once the situation was behind him, he began to understand how deeply the experience had affected his personality and outlook. When I moved and got out of it, people were like, 'You will get through this stronger.' I was like, 'I don't need that much strength. 'Like, who needs that much strength in their life? Then I realised nothing really affects me anymore. Like, nothing really makes me sad. I think the trauma I went through then actually made me strong enough that when I became a public figure, the amount of hate I used to get initially never affected me, he explained. Orry further said that, in a weird way, he feels he owes Amrita a thank you because the experience helped him develop mental toughness. However, he did not disclose the details of the incident. He also revealed that the fallout with Amrita affected his friendship with her daughter, Sara Ali Khan. Orry and Sara reportedly had a public fallout in 2025 after he shared birthday pictures of the actress that some users considered unflattering. The situation escalated after Orry posted a reel titled 3 worst names, featuring the names Sara, Amrita and Palak without their surnames. Sara and her brother Ibrahim Ali Khan subsequently unfollowed Orry on Instagram. Orry later shared cryptic posts that appeared to reference the siblings, including one in which he called Ibrahim most besharam (shameless). He has since confirmed that he is no longer in touch with Sara or Ibrahim. Also Read : Orry keeps Salman Khans picture beside his bed; says the superstar gave his career a much-needed kick-start

Sharing the pictures on social media, Mallika wrote, This is a @kritisanon appreciation post. She further added, -None of the jewellery worn here is by Giva, obv . Her post comes after Sanon faced criticism online over her appearance in a Raksha Bandhan-themed advertisement for Giva Jewellery. View this post on Instagram A post shared by M A L L I K A D U A (@mallikadua) Coming to the campaign, it featured Kriti tying Rakhi to her onscreen brother as well as her pet dog. While the concept of including a pet in the Raksha Bandhan celebration became a subject of discussion, sections of social media also criticised Sanons outfit in the commercial. The actor was seen wearing a white bralette crop top with a sheer sleeveless cape and matching pants. The campaign subsequently drew support as well, with several social media users questioning the practice of judging womens relationship with Indian traditions based on their clothing. Amid the discussion, the advertisement was taken down by Giva Jewellery. The latter also posted an apology note for the advertisment. However, before that, Sanon had also addressed the broader conversation around women, clothing and cultural traditions in a social media post. In the statement, the actress had defended the decision of tying Rakhi to the furball stating how their prayer and promise extends to dogs as well. She had also taken a stand against audience commenting on the outfit choice made in the advertisement. A woman's respect for her culture is measured with just her clothes!!Culture & Traditions are in her heart, not in her neckline, a line in her statement had read. Through her statement, Sanon emphasised that she associates Raksha Bandhan with the bond of protection and the emotional significance of family, while questioning the linking of a womans clothing with her cultural values.
