Sanjay Kapoor and Maheep Kapoor recently opened up about their daughter Shanaya Kapoors journey towards acting, revealing that her interest in the profession became evident over time rather than through a formal announcement. Appearing on Neha Dhupia and Angad Bedis Double Date, the couple reflected on the experiences that shaped Shanayas aspirations, from growing up around films to putting in the effort to develop her skills. Sanjay explained that Shanaya never explicitly announced her intention to become an actor. Instead, her inclination towards the profession emerged naturally, given the environment she grew up in. He also recalled how she continued to work on her craft even during the COVID-19 pandemic. She never came and said, for example, Maa, main bada ho kar don banna chahta hoon (Mum, when I grow up, I want to become a don). It was never like that. Basically, we knew that Shanaya was inclined towards acting, and she was brought up in that environment. She is working really hard. Even during COVID, she used to train in belly dancing and work on her diction, Sanjay shared. Maheep, meanwhile, recalled an early memory that gave her a glimpse of Shanayas fascination with the film industry. She spoke about taking her daughter to the premiere of Saawariya, where Shanayas excitement continued even after the screening, during a family dinner at the Marriott. When I took her for the premiere of Saawariya, Shanaya was very young and she was wearing a lehenga. After the premiere, we all went for dinner at the Marriott with the whole Kapoor khandaan. Shanaya was running up and down wearing her lehenga, just like Sonam. I knew then that she had tasted blood, she added. Sanjay also spoke about the influence of Shanayas cousin Sonam Kapoor on her growing interest in films. According to him, Sonam was someone Shanaya admired while growing up, before Janhvi Kapoor eventually made her acting debut. She used to look up to her sister, Sonam. Sri (Sridevi) was already married to Boney, but Janhvi made her debut later. It was Sonam whom she always looked up to, he said. Reflecting on the realities of an acting career, Sanjay added that Shanaya has also witnessed the fluctuations that come with working in the film industry through his own professional journey. He believes this has given her an understanding of the challenges involved in pursuing the profession. She has seen my journey, and she knows there are highs and lows, Sanjay added. The conversation offered a glimpse into Shanayas early years and the experiences that contributed to her decision to pursue acting. From the influence of her family and her admiration for Sonam to the training she undertook from a young age, Sanjay and Maheeps recollections shed light on how her interest in cinema gradually developed.

Rani Mukerji offers prayers at Badrinath and Kedarnath temples after mother Krishna Mukerjis death
Rani Mukerji visited the Badrinath Dham and Kedarnath temple in Uttarakhand on Thursday, October 8, days after the passing of her mother, Krishna Mukerji. The actor offered prayers at the two prominent pilgrimage sites, with videos of her temple visits subsequently circulating on social media. Rani reportedly arrived at Badrinath around noon and proceeded to the temple to seek blessings. She was also seen visiting a shrine dedicated to Goddess Lakshmi, where she offered prayers and received prasad. Dressed in a light-coloured kurta and salwar, the actor completed her look with a yellow scarf and a puffer jacket to keep warm. She was also seen wearing several flower garlands around her neck. Videos from the temple premises showed Rani with folded hands as she participated in the prayers. Her visit drew the attention of pilgrims and locals, with several people gathering around her and taking pictures. In some clips, she was seen carrying a small offering inside the temple complex. Earlier, videos of the actor visiting Kedarnath also surfaced online. She was seen walking towards the shrine and posing outside the temple. Rani, who was last seen in Mardaani 3, appeared to have taken time out to visit the two religious sites in Uttarakhand and seek blessings. Rani Mukerjis mother Krishna Mukerji passes away at 75 Ranis temple visits come shortly after the demise of her mother, Krishna Mukerji, who passed away at the age of 75 on September 22, 2026. According to IANS, Yash Raj Films confirmed the news through an official statement and requested privacy for the family as they mourned their loss. With heavy hearts, we share that Rani Mukerji's mother, Mrs Krishna Mukerji, 75, passed away this afternoon. The family is deeply grateful for your love, prayers, and support and respectfully requests privacy during this time of immense grief, the statement from YRF read. Krishna shared a close bond with her daughter and remained a constant presence in Ranis life. Over the years, she accompanied the actor to several public appearances, and Rani had spoken about her mother on multiple occasions. Apart from her role in Ranis personal life, Krishna was also associated with Bengali cinema. She worked as a playback singer during her career. Her passing marks a personal loss for the actor and her family, who have requested privacy during this difficult period.

Two familiar names from Hindi cinema are coming together for a first. Sony Marathi's Kon Honar Crorepati (KHC) begins a new chapter this Monday, October 12, with Madhuri Dixit as host and Sonali Bendre in the hot seat for the grand premiere. The special episode comes with the tagline Aata Khel Badalnaar (Now, the game will change). Despite long careers in films, Madhuri and Sonali have never shared the screen in a film, which makes this their first on-screen appearance together. The episode is described as a mix of Bollywood nostalgia, banter and the stakes of the game. Playing for a cause Sonali is playing in support of Happy Pet Foundation. She speaks about her work in animal welfare and her Happy Podcast. In a conversation about running a household, the two actors agree that delegating work and sharing responsibilities are key to keeping things smooth. Sonali also reveals that her mother-in-law never lets her work in the kitchen. What the stars said Madhuri Dixit shared, Sonali and I have never done a film together. But it's never too late! Today, we're finally together on the sets of Kon Honar Crorepati. It's a celebration, and I'm glad that I am starting this new chapter with you. Sharing the screen with you feels like such a special occasion. It is a celebration for me. Welcoming Madhuri as host, Sonali Bendre said, Kon Honar Crorepati now has a female host, and who could be better than Madhuri? I have always been a Madhuri Dixit fan, but I've also gotten to know her better. Her younger son and my son go to school together, so we meet often, but sharing screen space has never happened. She further added, I'm not surprised at all about Madhuri as a host because she's such a warm person. Having known that warmth in her, I always knew she would be a very good host. She's a fantastic actressthere are no two ways about it. I have always admired her fabulous dancing, and I did get to see her dance here on the set. So that was fantastic for me. If someone out there is watching or listening, please write something for the two of us. I would love it! A tribute to Nana Patekar The premiere has also been touched by the death of Nana Patekar. He had worked with Madhuri in the 1998 film Wajood and was scheduled to shoot for the episode over the weekend. He and Sonali were set to be among the show's first celebrity guests, with more Maharashtrian celebrities expected in the coming months. Where to watch The grand premiere of Kon Honar Crorepati airs on 12 October at 9 PM on Sony Marathi and Sony LIV.

After Saiyaara, Shaan R Grover will be seen alongside Gurmeet Choudhary in Tum Mere Ho
Following the success of Saiyaara, actor Shaan R Grover is now all set to be seen in Tum Mere Ho, a romantic film directed by Ashish Panda. The Actor will be seen sharing screen space with Gurmeet Choudhary and Isha Malviya in a pivotal role that is distinctly different from what audiences have seen him portray before. The character is said to bring a different dimension to the film. Talking about how he came on board, Shaan shared, The music and the storyline is what actually really drew me to the film. One of the ADs from the directors team - Ashish Panda sir - reached out and wanted me to be a part of this film since he really liked my work in Saiyaara. I am glad to get this opportunity to be working with such an acclaimed director. Cant wait for the audiences to see me portraying this character on the screen. He further added, Ive always believed that music along with a strong screenplay is the soul of any film, and Ive been very lucky in that department with Saiyaara as well. Sharing his experience of working with Gurmeet Choudhary, Shaan said, It was a fantastic experience. Gurmeet is genuinely one of the nicest people Ive met in this industry. Hes extremely grounded, sensible, honest and very hardworking. In fact, he was also one of the reasons I got locked for the part. As a producer, he really wanted to work with me, and Im very grateful for that. We had a wonderful experience working together, and I really hope we get to collaborate again in the future.

Katrina Kaif has seemingly addressed the online criticism she faced following her recent public appearance at the Ambani Ganpati celebrations, where she was spotted with her husband, actor Vicky Kaushal. The actress became the subject of social media discussions, with several users commenting on her physical appearance following the birth of her son. The incident once again brought attention to the body-shaming faced by women after pregnancy. On October 8, Katrina was in London to celebrate the first anniversary of Kay Beauty's launch in the UK. During the event, she spoke about dealing with criticism and emphasised the importance of not allowing online opinions to influence one's self-worth or decisions. While she did not directly refer to the recent trolling, her remarks appeared to address the conversations surrounding her appearance. Personally, for me, every time I face critique or comments, if I let that dictate my actions... I would have been paralysed with fear unable to move ahead in my life or in any sphere of life. There are times when the world is going to celebrate you, and other times you have to really be your own biggest cheerleader. View this post on Instagram A post shared by kim kaur mann (@kimmmann_) Katrina also spoke about self-acceptance and the need to remain comfortable with oneself, acknowledging that confidence can change depending on the circumstances and phase of life. She noted that while there may be moments when people feel they are doing well in every aspect, there can also be periods of uncertainty and self-doubt. According to her, accepting oneself is important while continuing to work towards personal growth. Her comments come days after Salman Khan defended her against online trolls during Bigg Boss 20's Weekend Ka Vaar episode. Katrina and Vicky welcomed their son, Vihaan Kaushal, in November last year. Following her pregnancy, the actress faced comments about her weight and appearance, prompting Salman to question the criticism directed at a woman who had recently become a mother. Salman pointed out that weight gain after pregnancy is normal and said Katrina could get back in shape when she returned to films. He also stressed that she should be allowed to spend time with her family without facing unnecessary scrutiny over her appearance. In a dramatic response, Salman removed his jacket and T-shirt on television and appeared shirtless, seemingly highlighting how people judge others based on their physical appearance. His comments brought the focus back to the scrutiny women often face over postpartum changes and the need to give new mothers the time and space to adjust to a new phase of life.

Rajkummar Rao REACTS to Dada poster criticism: Makers have learnt their lesson
Rajkummar Rao has addressed the criticism surrounding the first-look poster of Dada, the upcoming biopic on former Indian cricket captain Sourav Ganguly. The poster, which was unveiled on July 8 to coincide with Gangulys birthday, received a mixed response on social media, with several users questioning its visual execution. Speaking to Mashable India, Rajkummar acknowledged the backlash and said the team behind the film has taken note of the response. The ones who made the poster have understood, they have learnt their lesson. They have understood they need to take their time and not rush things; theres no hurry. I think the team has learned its lesson. But they have also understood that dadas fan following is crazy, Rajkummar said. Rajkummar Rao on preparing to play Sourav Ganguly The first-look poster recreated one of Sourav Gangulys most recognisable cricket moments, his shirtless celebration while waving the Indian flag at Lords after Indias win in the 2002 NatWest Trophy final. While the visual drew criticism online, Ganguly himself had reacted positively to the poster, calling it the best gift ever. For Rajkummar, however, portraying Ganguly involves going beyond recreating his appearance and iconic moments. The actor revealed, I have met Sourav Ganguly many times and have even shot at his home and at Eden Gardens. We were in Kolkata for a while, and I have spent a lot of time with Dada. We have discussed a lot of things. Rajkummar also revealed that their conversations have included personal aspects of Gangulys life that have helped him understand the former cricketer beyond his public persona. We have also discussed things that I cannot reveal now, because its important to know personal things to understand a persons mind. He was very open about it; he laid his life bare before me, the actor added. Calling Ganguly a legend, Rajkummar also spoke about the impact he had on Indian cricket and the identity of the national team. We all love him; hes a legend. He laid the foundation for what the Indian team is today, he said. Meanwhile, Rajkummar Rao is currently promoting Prahaar: The Ujjwal Nikam Story, directed by Avinash Arun. Produced by Dinesh Vijans Maddock Films, the courtroom drama also features Wamiqa Gabbi, Lalit Prabhakar, Jaideep Ahlawat and Sikandar Kher. The film is scheduled to release in theatres on October 16. Rajkummar will also be seen portraying Sourav Ganguly in Dada, which is directed by Vikramaditya Motwane.

Saba Pataudi, sister of actors Saif Ali Khan and Soha Ali Khan, has opened up about being diagnosed with a brain tumour at the age of 27. In a conversation with Soha, Saba recalled how she suddenly fainted one day, leading to medical examinations that revealed a condition she had not anticipated. She also spoke about the emotional impact of learning that she would need brain surgery and how the experience changed her outlook. Recalling the incident, Saba explained that she had not experienced any warning signs before she fainted. Initially, she believed the discomfort was related to her stomach, which she described as a sensitive point for her. It happened very suddenly. I didnt have any pre-symptoms or any conditions that I think led up to it. One day, I went out and thought the problem was with my stomach, which has always been a sensitive point for me. I thought I had eaten or drunk something that hadnt agreed with me. I suddenly fainted, she recalled. Saba further explained that she initially thought her blood pressure might be responsible for the episode. However, she soon realised that something was not right. I could feel myself becoming very uncomfortable, so I turned to a friend and said, I dont think Im quite okay. Maybe we should head home. We were about to go out, but suddenly everything went blank. When I regained consciousness, I had already fallen on the road, just outside the building. According to Saba, it took around 20 to 25 minutes for her to return to normal after the incident. She subsequently underwent an MRI scan, which led to further investigations. While doctors initially suspected a colloid cyst based on the report, she was later diagnosed with a benign tumour. Describing the diagnosis as unexpected, Saba said, It was something completely unexpected that happened to me at the age of 27, without any warning. The prospect of undergoing brain surgery was difficult for her to process at such a young age. Reflecting on the emotional turmoil, she said, Your life suddenly goes numb because nothing feels normal after that. One day, youre fine, and the next day, youre told that youre going to have brain surgery. Its not something as simple as having your appendix removed. It shatters you in a way, but it also empowers you because you have to deal with it. Saba also spoke about experiencing emotional changes as she tried to come to terms with the diagnosis. I realised that I was very emotional. I would suddenly find myself crying without knowing why. You are trying to process news that you never expected to receive. What happened to me came with absolutely no warning, she added. She further revealed that the possibility of becoming dependent on others was among her concerns. Recalling her conversation with the doctor during the treatment process, Saba said she wanted to understand whether any additional procedure might be required later. I asked the doctor, What would you do if you had to do anything further? He said radiation was an option. I asked him, Why dont we just do everything while Im here? Amma looked at me and said, Whats with her? I just wanted to finish it. I didnt want anything left behind. Through her account, Saba reflected on the uncertainty she faced after receiving an unexpected diagnosis and the emotional challenges of preparing for brain surgery at 27.

Three years after the October 7, 2023 Hamas attack, the consequences continue to reshape Israel, Gaza and the wider Middle East.The attack exposed vulnerabilities in Israels high-tech border defences and triggered a devastating war in Gaza. The conflict subsequently widened, drawing in Hezbollah in Lebanon, Houthi attacks in the Red Sea and direct exchanges of strikes between Israel and Iran.Beyond the battlefield, millions have faced displacement, trauma and destruction. Regional alliances have shifted, global shipping routes have been disrupted, and uncertainty over energy markets has sent economic ripples across the world.But crucial questions remain unanswered: Who will govern Gaza? Who will rebuild it? And can lasting security be achieved without a political resolution for Palestinians?Here is how October 7 changed the Middle East, and why its consequences continue to reverberate three years later.#October7 #IsraelHamasWar #Gaza #MiddleEast #Israel #Iran #Hezbollah #TOI

Nic Maddinson's 33-ball duck sets new Australian record after fairytale return
Digital Desk | Durban, Oct 9 (IANS) Nic Maddinson's return to Test cricket did not pan out the way he would have wanted to, as the opener was dismissed for a 33-ball duck in the first innings of the first Test against South Africa at Kingsmead here on Friday. Maddinson made a return to Test cricket after almost 10 years since last featuring in December 2016 against Pakistan and defeated testicular cancer on a fairytale comeback into the international fold. However, the Southpaw was dismissed for a duck by Marco Jansen in the 11th over early on Day 1 of the Test match, setting the record for the longest duck by an Australian opener in Test cricket. The record previously belonged to David Warner, who was dismissed for a 22-ball duck during the 2022 Ashes away series. The all-time record for the longest duck by an opener belongs to former New Zealand cricketer Darrin Murray, who had bagged a 39-ball duck against Sri Lanka in 1995. Former Zimbabwe opener Trevor Gripper was dismissed for a 36-ball duck against the West Indies in 2000. Maddinson showed patience in his stay as he left several balls. He was lucky to survive an LBW appeal in the fourth over when Wiaan Mulder had trapped him in front, but the Proteas were not sure whether the batter had got some bat on his missed flick, as they did not opt for a review. But he was dismissed a few overs later. Meanwhile, Maddinson's comeback is a fairy-tale story. He was diagnosed with testicular cancer in April 2025, as it spread to his lung and lymph nodes. He underwent chemotherapy and completed the course in July 2025. The cricketer resumed training in September after recovering and getting the clearances two months after the last round of his treatment. Maddinson scored 126 in the One-Day Cup for New South Wales against Victoria after returning and, combined with injury issues to Australia, he made it to the national side. He has missed 88 Tests between the two appearances, which is now the Australian record too.
