Bollywood actress Sara Ali Khan understands how travelling in Mumbai can be time-consuming and locals are the best options to go anywhere as early as possible. Just a day ago, the actress shared a video on her Instagram where she was travelling by local train in order to save up time.

Taking to social media, she shared a video from a local as she travels back home from the shoot of Ae Watan Mere Watan along with some of her known ones. In the video, she said, "Namastey Darshako, jaise ke aap dekh sakte hai we are on a local train, because at this our traffic drives us insane, therefore we are enduring this back pain but no pain, no gain. Now, we are going to go and get a rickshaw from a random lane. See you soon, darshako!" Later, she was enjoying a rickshaw ride with one of her friends.

She captioned the video saying, “Namaste Darshako Today we used our brain Samay ka sadupyog we took a train."

Filmmaker Imtiaz Ali is all set for his next directorial Chamkila, based on the life of Amar Singh Chamkila. Back in March 2022, it was reported that the biopic will be headlined by singer-actor Diljit Dosanjh whereas Parineeti Chopra will essay the role of Amarjot Kaur.

As per a report in a media portal, Parineeti Chopra has been busy prepping for the role for the past few months. Diljit Dosanjh and Parineeti have done several workshops together. The filming will begin on December 11 and will be shot over a span of two months. There will be breaks in December and January 2023.

For unversed, Amar Singh Chamkila was a songwriter, musician, and composer. Hailing from Punjab, he became popular with the stage name Chamkila and was regarded as one of the best performers Punjab has ever produced. His music was very much influenced by his surroundings. The songs were a commentary on Punjab and its culture. His best-known hits include ‘Takue Te Takua’, and ‘Pehle Lalkare Naal’ among others.

In a tragic turn of events, Chamkila and his wife Amarjot Kaur were brutally assassinated and gunned down along with two members of his band on March 8, 1988. As reported back then, a group of armed youths on motorcycles fired several rounds fatally injuring all of them. No arrests were made at the time and the case has been unsolved to date.

Meanwhile, Diljit Dosanjh was last seen in the Punjabi film Babe Bhangra Paunde Ne. His last Hindi film was Good Newwz. He is currently on his music tour in India, which he kick-started in Mumbai on December 9.

On the other hand, Parineeti Chopra was last seen in Sooraj Barjatya’s Uunchai last month. She has also signed the Akshay Kumar-starrer Capsule Gill.

Known for his interesting genre of films, Ranbir Kapoor recently revealed that he would like to retire from the genre of rom-coms. The actor recently attended the Red Sea International Film Festival in Jeddah which also saw his cousin Kareena Kapoor Khan and brother-in-law Saif Ali Khan walk the red carpet last week. While the Kapoor boy received a grand welcome owing to his massive fan following, they were left disappointed when the actor maintained that his upcoming film with Shraddha Kapoor, directed by Luv Ranjan might be one of his last in the genre.

Although, many heroes continue to explore the rom-com genre despite their age, Ranbir Kapoor believes that he should retire from this because of his age. During the Red Sea International Film Festival, the actor said, “I don't know it is probably going to be one of the last romantic comedies I do because I am getting older." Further talking about age, he also revealed that he wondered why he didn’t become a father sooner. “I am wondering why did I take so long. My biggest insecurity is that when my children are 20 years old, I will be 60 years old. Will I be able to play football with them? Will I be able to run with them?”

On the other hand, talking about films, the actor also expressed his excitement about doing the Sandeep Reddy Vanga film Animal. He described it as a ‘crime thriller and gangster film’. In the same breath, he also revealed that the film will feature him in a grey character. During the festival, he also asserted that he will be doing more movies from now on.

After last seen in Brahmastra, Ranbir Kapoor was on a paternity break after the birth of his daughter Raha with Alia Bhatt.  The actor has the untitled Luv Ranjan film, the Sandeep Vanga Reddy film Animal with Rashmika Mandanna, in the pipeline.

For anyone growing up in the 90s, Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge was the epitome of romance. The film which has broken records and still has a matinee show daily at the iconic Maratha Mandir theatre in Mumbai has been a cinematic benchmark for romance. Guneet Monga earlier this week, took to social media to express how deeply “spoiled” and inspired she was by SRK and his signature romantic style. 

Having found her life partner in Sunny Kapoor, with whom she’s been engaged for a few months, their wedding invite is borrowed with nuances and elements of DDLJ. The invite has iconic elements like the fields, the train, and such elements to reflect the film and it's impact on their love story.

For the unversed, Guneet and Sunny are all set to tie the knot on December 12, and their wedding festivities will start from tomorrow onwards, that is December 10. Guneet had earlier also shared a heartfelt filmi note about her love story while paying tribute to the all-time classic Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge.

“Anyone I dated, I ran to my friends to tell them this is it, I found my partner for the rest of my life. Some even indulged me a couple of times but mostly rolled their eyes and wanted to say, ‘Guneet please just take your time.’ I never wanted to take my time, my magical forever started from Day 1. I was ready to commit from Day 1!,” read an excerpt of her letter to her Raj, Sunny Kapoor. 

Concluding her note, the producer added, “As cliche as it sounds, when the time is right, the universe makes it happen. I’ve found my Raj! Bade bade deshon mein chhoti chhoti baatein, hoti rehti hain,” in the caption of her Instagram post.

Shabana Azmi is playing a character based on super-chef philanthropist Vikas Khanna in an untitled film that will release early next year. The film is directed by Vikas Khanna.

Revealing details Vikas Khanna told me, “Shabana plays a failed chef New York and comes back to India to redeem her reputation. It was very challenging to direct Shabana who is unarguably the best living actress today. When I approached her for the role she very frankly told me she couldn’t cook to save her life. I wondered how she could play a chef if she couldn’t cook. She assured me it was easy. It is called acting.”

Masterchef Vikas Khanna’s directorial debut The Last Color last year collected accolades all across the world. Apparently Khanna who is an ardent Shabana fan convinced her to play a chef on condition that he teaches her to cook. They shot the entire film before the lockdown

Yash Chopra’s Jab Tak Hai Jaan (2012) completed 10 years on November 13. The film is remembered not just for its emotional moments, music and performances by the lead cast (Shah Rukh Khan, Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma) but also that it was the debut film of actor Sharib Hashmi. On Jab Tak Hai Jaan’s 10th anniversary, the talented and ever-smiling actor spoke exclusively to Bollywood Hungama about his experience of working on Jab Tak Hai Jaan and a lot more.

How did you bag Jab Tak Hai Jaan?
It was a time when I had almost given up hopes of becoming an actor. I had been auditioning for three years. I didn’t get work and hence, I took up a job at UTV Bindaas as AVP Programming since I had a family and a lot of responsibilities. Jitne logon se main udhaar maang sakta tha, main maang chukaa tha. My savings were almost over. That’s why I had to take up a job.

3-4 months after I joined UTV Bindaas, I got a call from Shanoo Sharma, YRF (Yash Raj Films)’s casting director. During my three years of struggling period, I made several attempts to meet her. But it proved futile. And then, one day, she called me. She had seen my short film and hence, and she asked me to audition. There were several rounds. Incidentally, my first audition was conducted by Bhumi Pednekar. It was a wonderful experience. Mujhe toh audition mein bhi bahut mazaa aa raha tha! Later, I got a call that I have not been selected and somebody else has got the part. I was sad though what lessened my pain is that at least, I had a job.

After some days, Akshat Kapil from YRF called me, requesting for another audition. I auditioned and straight away went to my office. In 30 minutes, I got a call informing me that I have bagged the part and that I have to report for the shoot 2 days later! Main hil gaya tha.
I was so scared by my experiences during the struggling phase that I didn’t want to quit my job. During the same time, my other film Filmistaan (2014) also got a producer. The shoot of both films was to happen back to back, starting with Jab Tak Hai Jaan. So, I asked for 45 days' leave. I was ready for unpaid leave. I didn’t want to quit my work but at the same time, I wanted to make good use of the opportunity at hand. But the management told me, ‘Ya tu naukri kar le ya acting kar le’. I realized that I don’t want to work in a place where my passion is not respected. So, I left the job.

There’s a scene in the film where Shah Rukh Khan jumps on you on the bed. How was it to shoot that scene?
It wasn’t choreographed as such. I was told to dance and jump on the bed, which I did. I remember cinematographer Anil Mehta sir saw that and told me, ‘Aaj isko dekh ke Kishore da ki yaad aa gayi’ (smiles). For me, that was a big compliment.

Shah Rukh Khan usually does rehearsals. Did he do it with you as well?
No, he didn’t. I wish he had. I would have got more time to spend with him! On location, he would read the scene. That’s it. At the most, we would rehearse once.

How was it work with Shah Rukh Khan?
He was very chilled out. I really want to work with him more. Lekin mauka hi nahin mil raha. Pata nahin kyun? Woh baatein itni acchi karte hai. He’s such a fine actor and a human being. Unki company kaun nahin chahega (smiles)?

You were directed by a legendary director, Yash Chopra. Tell us about your experience.
It was a dream come true. In fact, yeh ek aisa sapna tha jo maine dekha bhi nahin tha aur woh poora ho gaya (laughs)! I had never imagined in my wildest dreams that I’ll get a chance to work with him. It was an amazing experience. I used to keep observing him. He used to interact with everyone warmly and would take care of everyone. I still remember it clearly. Once, we were shooting in London and it was an off day. He met me in the elevator. He told me, ‘Sharib, mazaa aa raha hai London mein? Ash kar rahe ho ya nahin? Jacket-wacket chahiye toh bata dena’! Woh khaane ke khatarnaak shaukeen the, though due to his age, he had some restrictions.

How did your life change after Jab Tak Hai Jaan?
I couldn’t understand what happened after the release of the film. I was told that industry mein kaam dekh ke kaam mil jaata hai. But I didn’t get it. Many people assumed that I am not based in India! They thought that I was an actor from Pakistan (since I played a Pakistani) or some other country. This is because no one had ever seen me. I didn’t even know that you are supposed to speak to the media and publicize yourself. Most reviews mentioned my performance positively and the audience also liked me. But it didn’t translate into film offers. I did get some TV offers but I was not keen. As for films, I didn’t get a single offer. Things changed only after Filmistaan (2014).

Bollywood Ranbir Kapoor stepped out for the first international event after becoming a father. The actor attended the ongoing Red Sea International Film Festival in Saudi Arabia. During a conversation, he spoke at length about the films not working in India post COVID-19 and his film Shamshera becoming a big disaster. He also spoke about how his passion project Jagga Jasoos had not done well which hurt him the most.

Speaking to Deadline, the actor said, “It’s a film that I produced. It was a passion project. It was directed by Anurag Basu. It was a very heartwarming and sweet idea, but it didn’t do well, which really hurt,” he said. “That’s the only film in my career that hurt me.”

Before Brahmastra in September 2022, he had another release. Back in July, he was seen in YRF’s Shamshera which failed at the box office. Talking about the same, Ranbir said the film was “by far the hardest film I’ve worked on. It was a big box office disaster, but the biggest mistake I made on Shamshera was that I stuck on a beard.” The actor sported a beard in the film. As the audience laughed hearing his story, he added, “When you’re shooting in the heat, and you stick on a beard, it’s like your face is melting.”

On the work front, Ranbir Kapoor will next star in Luv Ranjan’s untitled next with Shraddha Kapoor. The film is scheduled for Holi 2023 release. He also has Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Animal in 2023 as well.

Sushmita Sen and Sikandar Kher have started prepping for the third season of their popular Disney+ Hotstar show Aarya. Created by Ram Madhvani, the first two seasons got a favourable response from the audiences.

The show sees Sen’s character Aarya Sareen take on various battles following the death of her husband, played by Chandrachur Singh, who was into illegal medicines trade. Sikander plays a mysterious character named Daulat.

Sharing his reaction after starting the prep for the show, Sikandar said in a statement, “It’s wonderful to be back with this incredible team and I’m so looking forward to starting to shoot soon. We have begun workshops for the new season and from whatever I have read so far, I’m excited to take the audiences on a thrilling new ride. This is one of the most impeccably written characters I have played. Can’t wait to bring Daulat back on screens.”

Sikandar was recently seen in Netflix’s dark comedy Monica O, My Darling, where he played the character of Nishikant Adhikari. Last year he also played a cameo in Rohit Shetty’s successful cop drama Sooryavanshi, which starred Akshay Kumar in the titular role.

Ranveer Singh is gearing up for his second release of the year, the highly anticipated Cirkus. Helmed by Rohit Shetty, it is set to release on December 23. Ahead of the film’s release, the actor graced the cover of Esquire Singapore becoming the first Indian actor to do so. During the conversation with the magazine, he spoke about how the dream of becoming an actor was too far-fetched as only three outsiders like Shah Rukh Khan, Amitabh Bachchan and Akshay Kumar had made it in the industry.

In an interview with Esquire, Ranveer said, “Around the turn of the century—when I was in 10th grade, I wanted to act. But I kind of gave up on it, thinking it was too far-fetched. Because the examples of people having made it into this glitzy industry from the outside were too few and far in between. There was just Mr Shah Rukh Khan, Mr Amitabh Bachchan and Mr Akshay Kumar. That’s it. At the time (around the year 2000), I looked around me and all the new upstarts were somebody with some kind of great legacy; whose fathers were great superstars or big-time producers or directors. So, I gave it up.”

He added, "So, in my struggling years, my personal space had a vision board. It’s the most surreal story, because my sister had photoshopped my face onto two posters of Yash Raj Films and (laughs as he recounts), oh my God, she had even photoshopped my face onto a person holding a Filmfare award [India’s equivalent to the Oscars]! This is years before I even got the call to work with Yash Raj. So, I did manifest it. I hustled hard and created my own luck."

Malaika Arora is back on screens with a new reality show Moving In With Malaika. The first episode was unveiled on Disney+ Hotstar on Monday. The celebrity spoke candidly about her marriage with her ex-husband Arbaaz Khan with Farah Khan.

In a conversation with choreographer Farah Khan, Malaika spoke about her past and present relationships. She said, “I am the one who proposed to Arbaaz. Nobody knows. It was not Arbaaz who proposed to me. It was the other way around. I actually said, ‘I want to get married. Are you ready?’ Very sweetly he (Arbaaz) actually turned around and told me, ‘You pick the day and the place.’”

Malaika added, "I know how much you love him. He is a wonderful person. He let me be the person I am today. I feel a lot of me that I am today is also because of him because he let me be the person I am."

Malaika further revealed, "We drifted. We were too young. I was very young. I think I also changed. I also wanted different things in life. Somewhere I felt that was missing in my space and I needed to move on. I felt the only way I could do that is if I could actually probably let go of certain ties. I think today we are better people. We love and respect each other for the people that we are. We have a child together. So that is something that will never ever change. But I feel we are far better people. Then, I think we were very irritable. Very irritable people. We became angry, negative people."

Farah Khan revealed, "Towards the end. Till Dabang you all were fine. Then I also saw the difference." Malaika said, "I also remember very few people actually said that to me. You, Karan (Johar), very few people actually said that to me. They actually turned around and said, ‘You know what? Irrespective. We love you. Whatever the situation may be, whatever it may be, we love you’. I will never forget that. I will always. I feel happy.'' Malaika was in tears and Farah hugged her.

Earlier this year, Malaika met with an accident. She said that Arbaaz Khan was one of the first faces she saw in the hospital. She revealed, “When I was wheeled out one of the first faces that I saw was actually Arbaaz, at that moment. And he kept asking me, 'Can you see? How many numbers? How many fingers?' And I was like 'why is he doing this?' It was very strange. For a second, I was like, okay, 'have I gone back in time?' Something that really sticks out is in difficult times. You know that irrespective, whatever it may be, past, present, future, joh bhi ho (whatever happened), the way he was there.”

"There was so much glass shard in my eye and there was blood, so I couldn't see. For me, at that moment, I genuinely thought that I don't think I will survive and I may not see Arhaan again. I was taken to hospital, surgery happened, etc.," she added.

Malaika Arora and Arbaaz Khan were married nearly for 18 years. The couple announced their separation in 2016 and officially got divorced in 2017. They have a son, Arhaan. Malaika is currently in a relationship with actor Arjun Kapoor.
