Mandira Bedi joins Himalayas Muskaan initiative to raise awareness about cleft care in Ahmedabad
Mandira Bedi has joined Himalaya Wellness Companys Muskaan initiative, which has been brought to Ahmedabad on the occasion of World Smile Day. In partnership with Smile Train, the initiative aims to raise awareness about cleft conditions and expand access to timely and comprehensive cleft care for children across Gujarat. As part of the initiative, Mandira spoke about the importance of providing children born with cleft conditions with the right treatment and support, while also emphasising the role of confidence and self-belief in a childs growth. Speaking about the initiative, Actor Mandira Bedi said, Ive always believed that confidence and self-belief can change the way we see ourselves and what we believe is possible. For a child born with a cleft condition, having access to the right care and support can be an important part of building that confidence. But what really stays with you are the things that come after, a child going back to school, speaking up, making friends, smiling for a photograph, or simply feeling comfortable being themselves. That is what makes Muskaan meaningful to me. It is not just about the treatment; it is about helping children see that their condition does not have to define them or limit their dreams. Every child deserves the opportunity to grow up believing in themselves and finding their own path. The Muskaan initiative, which marks its 12th year, is being taken to Ahmedabad with the theme Ek Nayi Muskaan. Drawing from the citys association with kites, the campaign uses the idea of a kite rising with the right support to reflect the importance of timely care and support for children born with cleft conditions. Through its partnership with Smile Train India, the initiative focuses on care beyond surgery, including feeding, nutrition, speech and overall development. It also aims to encourage families to seek timely information and treatment. Rajesh Krishnamurthy, Business Director, Consumer Products Division, Himalaya Wellness Company, said, Muskaan has been an important part of Himalaya Wellness social initiatives since 2015. In our 12th year of association with Smile Train India, bringing Muskaan to Ahmedabad allows us to reach more children and families and build greater awareness and access to cleft care. Ek Nayi Muskaan reflects our belief that with timely treatment and the right support, every child can look ahead with confidence. Beyond surgery, it is important that families understand the care available to them and know where to seek help. Through Muskaan, we hope to continue reaching families, especially in rural and underserved communities, so that more children receive the care they need, at the right time. Ragini Hariharan, Marketing Director Beauty & Personal Care, Himalaya Wellness, said, Ahmedabad's deep-rooted association with kites gave us a beautiful thought this year: taking flight and reaching for what lies ahead. A kite needs the right support to rise, and so does a child. 'Ek Nayi Muskaan' reflects that spirit of possibility, where a new smile can mark the beginning of greater confidence, participation and hope. Through Muskaan, we want to make conversations around cleft care easier and encourage more families to seek timely support. As part of the initiatives outreach efforts, a mobile van will travel across rural and underserved communities in 22 districts of Gujarat. The van will spread awareness about cleft conditions and connect eligible children with free cleft surgery and comprehensive care. The surgical procedure takes around 45 minutes, according to the initiative. Mamta Carroll, Senior Vice President & Regional Director for Asia, Smile Train, said, Every child born with a cleft deserves timely, comprehensive care and the opportunity to thrive. While surgery is an important part of treatment, it is only one step in a childs journey. Support with feeding, nutrition, speech, and overall development is equally important. Through initiatives like Muskaan, we want to create greater awareness among families and empower them to seek the right care at the right time, available free of cost at Smile Train treatment partners, so that every child can grow with confidence and reach their full potential. Through Muskaan, Himalaya Wellness and Smile Train India aim to address gaps in awareness and access to cleft care, helping more children and families understand the treatment and support available to them.

EXCLUSIVE: Eisha Singh reflects on her Indian Game Show journey: You have to be spontaneous
Eisha Singh has been enjoying her stint on Indian Game Show, describing her time on the show as a different experience from her usual work as an actor. The actress says the format has allowed her to step away from scripted performances and explore a more spontaneous and candid side of herself. During her time on the show, Eisha has taken part in various games and challenges while also sharing moments of laughter and camaraderie with her co-participants. According to the actress, the unscripted nature of the format has encouraged her to respond to situations as they unfold and enjoy the experience. Talking about her experience, Eisha said, Being part of Indian Game Show has been such a fun and refreshing experience for me. It is very different from the kind of environment I am used to as an actor. Here, you have to be spontaneous, you have to react in the moment and most importantly, you have to enjoy yourself. I have genuinely loved being part of this journey. Eisha also spoke about the unpredictable nature of the show and how each episode brings something different. She said, What I really enjoy about the show is that there is never a dull moment. Every game, every challenge and every interaction brings something new. You come prepared for one thing and suddenly something completely unexpected happens. That unpredictability is what makes the experience so exciting. The actress further noted that the show has given viewers an opportunity to see her beyond the characters she plays on screen. Eisha said, I feel the show has also allowed audiences to see a more candid and playful side of me. As actors, people usually see us through the characters we portray, but a format like this gives them a chance to see our actual personalities, our reactions and even our competitive side. I have laughed a lot and made some beautiful memories along the way. Reflecting on what she has taken away from the experience, Eisha said, One of the biggest things I have taken away from this experience is to not overthink everything and just live in the moment. Sometimes work can become very structured, so having an experience where you can simply have fun is really special. Concluding her thoughts on the show, Eisha said, I am grateful for this journey because it has challenged me in a completely different way and given me so many moments to cherish. I hope audiences enjoy watching the show as much as I have enjoyed being a part of it.

Shabana Azmi backs CJPs Mumbai protest; says, We dont have to tolerate anything wrong
Shabana Azmi joined the Cockroach Janta Partys (CJP) Jail Bharo Andolan at Mumbais Shivaji Park on Friday, October 2. The protest was organised over concerns surrounding the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, with the organisation demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. The gathering also saw the participation of several personalities from the film and music industries, including Naseeruddin Shah, Vishal Dadlani, filmmaker Vishal Bhardwaj and singer Rekha Bhardwaj. Speaking to reporters before taking the stage, Shabana highlighted the importance of voting rights and said that any attempt to take away that right should be met through democratic means. She said, Voting is our right. If anyone tries to take away our right to vote, we will do what is necessary through democratic means. Addressing the gathering later, the actor spoke about the importance of citizens raising their voices when their names are removed from electoral rolls. She said, A very, very warm greeting to all of you. Since I am from Mumbai, seeing all of you present here in such large numbers brings me immense happiness. Our vote is our right, it is our voice, we have been hearing this since childhood. But when our right is snatched away from us, when our names are removed from the electoral rolls, what will we do? We will protest. This is our right. Today, look around and see how far your eyes can reach, this is the victory of democracy. Because we have recognised our own strength, and we have realised that we do not have to tolerate anything wrong, because this is our country, our Constitution has given us this right. So, many congratulations to all of you, she added. #WATCH | Maharashtra | Veteran actress Shabana Azmi joins the CJP protest at Mumbais Shivaji Park against the Election Commission. pic.twitter.com/Q9vVzrkS4O ANI (@ANI) October 2, 2026 The CJP has been opposing the SIR exercise and has been calling for Gyanesh Kumar to step down as Chief Election Commissioner. The organisation held the Mumbai gathering despite Mumbai Police denying permission for the protest. Heavy police deployment and barricades were put in place around Shivaji Park as a large crowd gathered at the venue. Reports on the size of the gathering varied, with police estimates later putting the number in the thousands. Naseeruddin Shah was also present at the protest and met CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke. A video shared by Dipke showed the two embracing. During their interaction, Shah told him, I want to thank you, while Dipke responded that he was a huge fan of the veteran actor. Shah then said, I knew you were here. I am a huge fan of yours. Whatever you are doing, please continue doing that. Vishal Dadlani and Vishal Bhardwaj were among the other film personalities seen at the gathering. Actor Prakash Raj also extended his support through a video message, speaking about democracy, citizenship and the ongoing SIR controversy. Meanwhile, Shabanas husband and lyricist Javed Akhtar reacted to criticism over the protest and concerns about noise pollution at Shivaji Park. In a post on X, he questioned whether similar objections would be raised when political parties hold rallies at the same venue. The CJP has maintained that its agitation is independent and has said it will not join the Oppositions separate October 6 protest against the Election Commission.

Producer Anubhav Sinha has spoken about the need for filmmakers to continue telling stories about Mahatma Gandhi and other freedom fighters. His upcoming film, directed by Sudhir Mishra and starring Manoj Bajpayee as Gandhi, explores a lesser-known 21-day period around Indias independence. The theatrical project brings together Sinha and Mishra for a story set during a crucial period in Indias history. Manoj Bajpayee plays Mahatma Gandhi, while Saurabh Shukla also features in a key role. The film focuses on the period around independence when Gandhi moved away from the political centre in Delhi and spent time reflecting on his role and journey. Produced by Anubhav Sinha under Benaras Media Works along with Narendra Hirawat and presented by NH Studioz, the film explores a relatively lesser-known chapter from Gandhis life. The project also features veteran actor Waheeda Rehman, who is returning to the big screen after eight years. Speaking about the importance of bringing stories about national figures to audiences, Sinha said, I believe there should be one or two films made on Gandhi every year for the next 100 years. It is our responsibility as filmmakers to keep bringing the stories of our freedom fighters to audiences. They played the most significant part in the making of the India we know today the India we live in, celebrate and proudly chant about. The filmmaker's comments highlight his view that cinema can play a role in keeping stories of India's freedom struggle accessible to newer generations. The upcoming film attempts to look at Gandhi beyond the commonly documented aspects of his public and political life, focusing instead on a specific period during the transition to independence. Directed by Sudhir Mishra, the film stars Manoj Bajpayee and Saurabh Shukla in key roles, with Waheeda Rehman also joining the cast. The project is produced by Anubhav Sinha and Narendra Hirawat under A Benaras Mediaworks production and presented by NH Studioz.

Netflixs The Great Indian Kapil Show Season 5 takes a spooky turn as the cast of The Vvaan: Force of the Forrest Sidharth Malhotra, Tamannaah Bhatia, Shweta Tiwari, Anup Soni and Maniesh Paul join Kapil Sharma for an evening of ghost stories, conversations, confessions and comedy. The episode airs tonight at 8:00 PM and brings the cast together for a mix of paranormal anecdotes and light-hearted banter. During the episode, Kapil asks the guests whether they have ever experienced any paranormal activity. Tamannaah Bhatia says that she is more afraid of humans than ghosts, while Shweta Tiwari shares that she has never believed in spirits, despite hearing several stories from people who claim to have communicated with them. Kapil responds with a joke, pointing out that such people appear to have direct access to spirits but cannot always help people communicate with each other. Sidharth Malhotra also talks about his childhood in Delhi and recalls how several neighbourhoods had stories surrounding supposedly haunted houses. He remembers hearing about a house near the place where he used to play hide-and-seek, with stories of strange noises and unexplained incidents that frightened the children. Maniesh Paul, meanwhile, admits that he is genuinely scared of ghosts and says that he sleeps with the lights on. He also shares a story involving his daughter, who, when she was younger, repeatedly claimed that there was an aunty sitting in the room with them. The anecdote becomes another source of humour during the conversation. The episode also features a musical segment, with Sidharth and Tamannaah dancing to Thumak Thumak, bringing a part of The Vvaan: Force of the Forrest to Kapil Sharmas stage. With conversations around haunted houses, paranormal experiences, music and comedy, the latest episode continues the format of The Great Indian Kapil Show Season 5.

Ranveer Singh calls Captain Smit Machchhar Captain Courageous after Flydubai mid-air incident
Actor Ranveer Singh has praised Captain Smit Machchhar for his actions during a mid-air emergency involving Flydubai flight FZ1073. The flight was travelling from Dubai to Tel Aviv on September 30 when it was diverted to Tabuk, Saudi Arabia, following a violent confrontation in the cockpit.

The aircraft, which was carrying over 170 people, was subsequently brought under control and landed safely. The incident drew attention to the captains actions during the emergency. Ranveer Singh took to his Instagram Stories to share a picture of Captain Machchhar and acknowledge his bravery. The actor wrote, CAPTAIN COURAGEOUS, accompanied by a salute emoji and the Indian flag emoji. Through his social media post, Ranveer expressed his appreciation for the captains actions during the incident.

Last month was significant for Shweta Tripathi as her film, Mirzapur The Movie, crossed the Rs. 200 crore mark, surprising the trade and industry. In an exclusive interview with Bollywood Hungama, the talented and bubbly actress spoke about it and a lot more. Shweta Tripathi began by saying, It once again proves that mehnat karte raho. My love and respect for the audience has gone up, especially the way they have turned up in cinemas. This film is a hug to them. For 8 years, they have given us so much love. We have become household names thanks to them. This means a lot. She revealed, While I was going to TIFF (Toronto International Film Festival), the immigration official, a man with two children, told me, Aapka style bahut accha hai. Aap jo kapde pehente ho, woh ekdum alag hai. I was so happy that a man with two kids was appreciating the clothes I wear! It made me realize that people notice everything you say and everything you wear. And when you do things with intention, it does come back to you. Coming back to the blockbuster, she said, A lot of thought went into Mirzapur. We ensured that we gave our best during pre-production, while shooting and also during post-production. We wanted the audience to have fun. Gurmmeet Singh, our director, always tells us, Film karte hue maza aana chahiye aur audience ko dekhte hue mazaa aana chahiye! We focused chiefly on that and thats why the audience gave us so much love. She added, I went to watch the film with my friends and the way people were hooting and shouting, it felt so good. The aam junta was lapping it up, but even some of my friends who stay abroad were having a blast in cinemas. Shweta then stated, Many were asking why a film on Mirzapur was being made. This is the reason it deserves a community viewing experience. And then it ends with Sajanva; it felt like a party! Hence, when we listen to our emotions, things do work. Also, the audience is intelligent and loving; they are ready to give you love. She insisted, Audiences must support the kind of stories they want to see. And with Mirzapur, they have done that. All my films used to get critically acclaimed. Now, it was exciting to have my film playing on thousands of screens. Many viewers did remark that she had lesser screen time. Shweta Tripathi explained, I expected that reaction because we were aware of how the story unfolds. I also wanted to see more of Golu! But as actors, we need to serve the story. This film is set between Episodes 6 and 7 of Season 1. Its when Golu is prepping for the college elections. So, I dont want things to get compromised because of my greed as an actor. Future plans When asked whats next, Shweta Tripathi said, I am prepping for a play which will be staged on November 12 as part of the Prithvi Theatre Festival. Its directed by Rajit Kapur. I am at a stage in life where I am hungry for wisdom, knowledge and craft. Hence, my focus right now is on reading, watching and learning (smiles). She signed off by saying, We rehearse for the play every day for three hours. Also, I am happy to know that the writing for Season 4 of Mirzapur has already begun!
