It was during the show that she learned about boyfriend Arhaan Khan's marriage and that he had children also.

Speaking to a leading daily, Rashami said she had left that chapter behind and will refrain from making ill comments about him.

16 years is a long time, right? That's exactly how old Karan Johar's Koffee With Karan is! Although we've had only six seasons so far, the show started out in 2004.

We are in the year 2020 but still, a lot of objectionable trends are sadly quite common. Violence against women, especially, continues despite progress of our country and growth in education and standard of living. Anubhav Sinha, whose 2.0 avatar has given us films on Hindu-Muslim unity [MULK; 2018] and caste discrimination [ARTICLE 15; 2019] now takes up this topic for his latest hard-hitting flick, THAPPAD. The trailer has already intrigued viewers because of its storyline and the association of Taapsee Pannu and Anubhav with this project. So does THAPPAD manage to be as impactful as Anubhav’s last two films? Or does it disappoint? Let’s analyse. <img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1078610" src="https://ift.tt/2HY8pAt" alt="" width="720" height="450" /> THAPPAD is the story of a woman fighting a tough battle.

You know what they say… Once an actor, always an actor. Shilpa Shirodkar, who was a prominent actress all through the 1990s with hits like Kishen Kanhaiya , Hum , Aankhen , Khuda Gawah and Gopi Kishen to her credit, is now back in front of the camera.

I did a couple of television serials.” Then this feature film came her way from Rakesh (Rikku) Nath whose son Karan Nath was being re-launched. Star-secretary Rakesh Nath was instrumental in shaping Shilpa’s career. “I got in touch with Rikkuji and told him it was only fair that I should be a part of this film as his son was...

The happiest star-actor in Asia right now is Ayushmann Khurrana. His latest and riskiest release in a career relying dangerously on risks, has got a heartwarming response. Ayushmann and I spoke as he headed from Lucknow to the airport back home to Mumbai. Exhausted but happy he said, “We didn’t want Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan to be seen as just a gay love story. Of course, it is about two men in love. But it is more about the family and how they react to their son’s same-sex relationship. We didn’t want a heavy handed grim treatment. We wanted it to be a popcorn entertainer for the whole family, a family film. We didn’t want anyone to squirm while watching. I think we have achieved that.” Ayushmann says he always wants his film to be different, bold game-changers but nonetheless palatable to the entire family. “I think I’d be a little worried if one of my films was given an ‘A’ certificate without warning. I thought my Article 15 was dark. But again it ended on a hopeful note. With...

There have been cases when an actor has had two releases, both of which released on the same day. But what happened last week is the mother of all co-incidences and nothing short of history. The two films that released on February 21 – the scarefest BHOOT: Part One – The Haunted Ship and the gay comedy Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan – each had a cameo by talented actress Bhumi Pednekar. Interestingly, in her entry scene in both these films, she was seen at the balcony, about to elope and get married! That’s not all.

As expected, this was noticed by few viewers who ventured out to see both BHOOT: Part One – The Haunted Ship and Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan , and couldn’t believe that something like this actually happened.

Riteish Deshmukh is currently gearing up for the release of Ahmed Khan's directorial Baaghi 3 . Recently, while interacting with the media, the actor spoke about a film on his late father and former Chief Minister Vilasrao Deshmukh. It is one of those miraculous journeys of a human being. He started off as a sarpanch (head of Gram Sabha) and went on to become Chief Minister of a state. Many a time, people have written scripts about his life and asked me to make a film but it is not easy," said Riteish. He said that when a subject is close to your heart, you forget objectivity. Just suppose, I make a film on his life and people say I have shown only the good things about him and not shown the other side of his life. If somebody else makes it, then I will say, 'he wasn't like this, he never used to talk like this and certain things never happened in his life'. So, there will always be a difference in opinions when you make films on such subjects." However, t...
