Shah Rukh Khan, the iconic Bollywood superstar, often shares captivating anecdotes from his childhood in various interviews, particularly fond memories involving his late parents. One such poignant story involves his father, Meer Taj Mohammed Khan, who imparted an enduring piece of advice to his son. On the popular television show Kaun Banega Crorepati, hosted by Amitabh Bachchan, SRK disclosed that his father had expressed a heartfelt wish regarding a specific destination—Kashmir. Meer Taj had advised Shah Rukh not to visit Kashmir without him, saying, “Kashmir mere bina mat dekhna, Kashmir main dikhaaunga,” which translates to, “Don’t see Kashmir without me; I will show it to you.” This emotional bond has kept SRK from visiting the picturesque region, despite numerous opportunities from friends and family, respecting his father’s wish.

Tragically, SRK lost his father to cancer when he was just a teenager, adding a layer of sentimental weight to these instructions. His mother, Lateef Fatima Khan, also passed away a few years later, when SRK was 24, leaving the star with profound parental memories that he continues to cherish.

Beyond personal reflections, Shah Rukh Khan remains active in the film industry. He recently starred in the movie “Dunki” and is set to feature in Sujoy Ghosh’s upcoming spy thriller “King,” alongside Abhishek Bachchan and Suhana Khan. Fans can also look forward to “Pathaan 2,” a sequel to his blockbuster film “Pathaan.”

Such narratives not only offer insight into SRK’s personal life and experiences but also reaffirm the strong familial ties and emotional core that drive his art and connect him to millions worldwide.

Pinkvilla has broken the news that Akshay Kumar and director Priyadarshan are teaming up again after 13 years for the horror comedy “Bhooth Bangla.” Following this exciting update, it’s been revealed that Priyadarshan has brought on board the iconic comedic trio of Paresh Rawal, Rajpal Yadav, and Asrani to join the cast. Akshay Kumar will also have Wamiqa Gabbi playing alongside him as his romantic interest, and more prominent names are expected to be announced soon.

In an exclusive development, Pinkvilla has learned that Tabu will be playing a pivotal role in “Bhooth Bangla.” A source close to the project mentioned that Tabu is thrilled to collaborate with Akshay Kumar and Priyadarshan after their 2000 film “Hera Pheri.” She was drawn to her character and the film’s script, which cleverly blends horror, comedy, and Indian mythology. The source also hinted that the film’s cast is continuing to grow with renowned talents from the Indian film industry.

“Bhooth Bangla,” slated as a major release for 2026, will feature an impressive ensemble cast, including Akshay Kumar, Tabu, Paresh Rawal, Wamiqa Gabbi, Rajpal Yadav, and Asrani. Filming is currently underway, with completion anticipated by April 2025. Given its genre, the film will incorporate a significant amount of visual effects to offer a fresh cinematic experience.

Furthermore, there are talks among Ekta Kapoor, Akshay Kumar, and Priyadarshan about turning “Bhooth Bangla” into a distinctive horror-comedy franchise. This is reminiscent of their earlier success with the genre, starting with “Bhool Bhulaiyaa” in 2007. Notably, any continuation of the franchise will require Akshay Kumar’s involvement, either as the lead or with his approval, as per his contract. The plan is to release a new installment every two years. “Bhooth Bangla” is set to premiere on April 2, 2026.

In the lively world of Bollywood, power couple Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor are often in the spotlight, both adored by fans and scrutinized by critics. Recently, Alia Bhatt took a stand against online trolls targeting her husband Ranbir Kapoor with accusations of being a ‘misogynist’ and claims that he’s ‘not supportive enough.’ These narratives gained traction from a recently surfaced video which appeared to show Ranbir ignoring Alia at the 100th birth anniversary celebration of Raj Kapoor.

To counter these interpretations, Alia Bhatt expressed her support by engaging with an Instagram Reel defending Ranbir. The reel, titled “The Ranbir Kapoor they don’t post about,” compiles moments from the event, showcasing Ranbir’s attentive behavior towards Alia and his family members. The video challenges the negative stories by emphasizing, “The side of Ranbir that social media doesn’t show; they cut a 2-sec clip out of context and run a whole lot of negative PR with it. Meanwhile, this is the reality.”

Riddhima Kapoor Sahni, Ranbir’s sister, also addressed the relentless trolling surrounding her brother and sister-in-law in an interview with Zoom. She dismissed the rumors, asserting that Alia and Ranbir are happily married, unbothered by public gossip. “They adore each other,” she stated, highlighting that the couple is focused on raising their daughter, Raha, describing them as “amazing parents.”

Riddhima went on to praise Alia, calling her “a great girl,” and lauded her warmth and generosity, saying that Alia’s actions are always heartfelt. She talked fondly about how well Alia has integrated into the Kapoor family, forging strong bonds with them.

This recent defense and mutual admiration reflect not only the love and trust within the Bhatt-Kapoor duo but also showcases a united front against attempts to misrepresent their relationship.

The Hyderabad police have issued a show cause notice to Sandhya Theatre’s management over critical lapses leading to a tragic incident during the premiere of Telugu superstar Allu Arjun’s film, Pushpa 2. On December 4, a stampede-like situation at the theatre resulted in the death of a 35-year-old woman and left her eight-year-old son, Sritej, hospitalized, clinging to life.

The notice, dated December 12, outlines 11 lapses, chiefly the theatre’s failure to inform local authorities about Allu Arjun’s arrival that night. Additionally, there was an absence of adequate entry, exit, and seating arrangements despite anticipating large crowds. Crucially, proper signages were missing, and the unauthorized installation of large flexes only added to the chaos by attracting more fans. The lack of sufficient security at the main gates is also cited, highlighting the theatre’s inability to ensure a safe environment.

The police have demanded an explanation from the management within 10 days, failing which they might revoke the theatre’s Cinematograph License. The management faces grave repercussions as the investigation progresses.

The fallout extends beyond the theatre; Allu Arjun, his security team, and the theatre management are embroiled in legal troubles with charges under various sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. Arrests have been made, including Allu Arjun, who was later granted interim bail. Theatre personnel, including one owner, are also under custody.

Meanwhile, Sritej remains in the PICU, in need of extensive medical support. Hyderabad Police Commissioner CV Anand and Health Secretary Christina Z Chongthu have affirmed that the government will support his treatment costs. While his condition is stable, the path to recovery will be long and challenging. The officials have assured the family of the deceased woman that extensive measures will be undertaken to safeguard public well-being and avoid such incidents in the future.

Amitabh Bachchan’s luxurious residence, Jalsa, located in Mumbai’s Juhu neighborhood, is not just a home but an iconic landmark. The legendary actor lives here with his family, and although he maintains a protective stance over his personal space, he occasionally offers fans glimpses into his stunning abode. Jalsa, valued at approximately Rs 100 crore, boasts a magnificent living room that has intrigued fans and onlookers over the years.

Photos shared by the Bachchan family on social media have revealed the grandeur of the living room. It features a traditional yet elegant setup, adorned with large artworks. Among these is a notable painting of a bull, reportedly worth Rs 4 crore, as highlighted by GQ. The family has also opted for luxurious silver door frames, adding to the room’s opulence.

In a photograph posted by his daughter, Shweta Bachchan, another section of this sprawling living space is disclosed. The image shows a false ceiling embedded with lights, enhancing the room’s ambiance. The walls are decorated with numerous photographs, including cherished black-and-white images of Amitabh with his family, and snapshots capturing moments with friends and colleagues from the entertainment industry. Notably, a heartwarming picture featuring Amitabh with his children, Abhishek and Shweta, is also visible.

While the breathtaking interiors of Jalsa capture the imagination of many, Amitabh Bachchan continues to be active professionally. He is engaged with the popular television show “Kaun Banega Crorepati” and is set to star in upcoming projects like the “Kalki 2898 AD” sequel and “The Intern” alongside Deepika Padukone, although the latter is yet to begin production.

Jalsa is a testament to Amitabh Bachchan’s illustrious career and personal legacy, providing a glimpse into the life of one of India’s most beloved film icons.

On December 4, actors Naga Chaitanya and Sobhita Dhulipala tied the knot at Annapurna Studios in Hyderabad, surrounded by close friends and family. The ceremony was a vibrant celebration of Telugu customs, with Sobhita adorning a gold Kanjivaram silk saree, resonating with her cultural heritage, while Chaitanya donned a traditional white ensemble. Following their union, they made their first public appearance as a couple at the Srisailam temple in Andhra Pradesh on December 6.

In a recent interview with The New York Times, Naga Chaitanya delved into the genesis of his relationship with Sobhita. Despite his birth in Hyderabad, Chaitanya’s upbringing took place over two decades in Chennai, where he became fluent in Tamil. Underlining the significance of Telugu in his life, he revealed that his mother tongue holds a special warmth for him. He shared, “In our industry, we encounter people from various linguistic backgrounds. But that sense of familiarity and comfort I found in Telugu resonated deeply with me, drawing me closer to Sobhita swiftly.”

Chaitanya expressed his desire for authenticity beyond the performative aspects often associated with acting careers, saying, “When something genuinely organic and real about a person emerges, I’m immediately attracted to it.” This authenticity, he hinted, played a pivotal role in how their relationship developed. Striving to better his command of Telugu, he humorously mentioned how he often requests Sobhita to converse with him in the language, aiming to improve his proficiency.

Chaitanya was previously married to actor Samantha Ruth Prabhu; however, they announced their separation via a mutual social media statement in October 2021.

Overall, the interview not only provides a glimpse into the personal lives of these beloved actors but also emphasizes the importance of cultural roots and heartfelt connections in shaping their relationship. The duo’s wedding and the honesty in their relationship highlight their journey toward a new chapter together.

The Allu Arjun and Rashmika Mandanna-led film “Pushpa 2” is making waves with unprecedented box office earnings, capturing the audience’s attention across multiple languages. Since its release, the film has consistently drawn crowds, with an astonishing 71% surge in revenue on its second Saturday, day 10, following the arrest of Allu Arjun. Despite his brief detention related to a tragic incident at the film’s premiere, where a stampede resulted in a woman’s death, the film’s popularity seems unhindered.

Collecting Rs 62.3 crore on the aforementioned Saturday, “Pushpa 2” is proving to be a cinematic juggernaut. The Hindi version alone contributed Rs 46 crore, surpassing its Telugu counterpart with earnings of Rs 13 crore, marking a significant milestone unheard of before. Friday’s collection stood at Rs 36.5 crore, illustrating a dramatic, unprecedented growth in revenue.

With a total domestic collection of Rs 824 crore across all languages, as reported by Sacnilk, the film has outperformed lifetime collections of notable hits like “Jawan” and “RRR.” Notably, the Hindi version alone has amassed Rs 498 crore of this total, reflecting its widespread acceptance and appeal.

There remains strong anticipation for even higher box office results on Sunday, fueled by the ongoing buzz and public holiday. This overall excitement is further amplified by Rashmika Mandanna’s praises for Allu Arjun’s magnetic screen presence, endearingly dubbing him “Alpha Man Max.”

Despite the challenges surrounding its release, including the brief legal troubles of its lead actor, “Pushpa 2” continues to thrive, captivating audiences far and wide with its compelling narrative and dynamic performances. The film’s remarkable success is a testament to its widespread appeal and the extraordinary talent of its cast and crew.

In a dramatic turn of events, four men have been arrested for the abduction of actor Mushtaq Mohammad Khan from Delhi airport. The gang, with a penchant for targeting film stars, held Khan hostage in Bijnor, Uttar Pradesh, demanding a hefty ransom for his release. The unsettling details emerged when Bijnor Superintendent of Police, Abhishek Jha, revealed their elaborate plan to kidnap actors under the guise of event invitations.

The initial scheme unfolded when Khan, renowned for his roles in “Hum Hain Rahi Pyaar Ke” and “Welcome,” accepted an invitation to an event in Meerut. Lured by an advance payment and an air ticket, he arrived in Delhi on November 20, only to be intercepted and forcibly taken to Bijnor. During his captivity, the kidnappers coerced Khan into providing his bank account credentials, using them to extract Rs 2.2 lakh during shopping sprees in Meerut and Muzaffarnagar.

The plot thickened when it was revealed that Shakti Kapoor, a veteran actor, was also on their target list. His invite, which included a Rs 5 lakh offer, was stalled due to unresolved negotiations. Police investigations are ongoing to uncover whether other film stars have fallen prey to this gang.

Arrests were made in the case, detaining Sarthak Chaudhary, Sabiuddin, Azim, and Shashank. Although Rs 1.04 lakh was recovered from them, efforts continue to track down Lavi, the mastermind orchestrating the kidnapping ring. In a related twist, Arjun, connected to the recent kidnapping of comedian Sunil Pal, was shot and injured by police after a daring escape attempt during his medical escort in Meerut. His capture provided insights into their modus operandi, bolstered by the recovery of an SUV and cash.
