Malvika Raaj made her big Bollywood debut in Squad opposite Rinzing Denzongpa. It may have got mixed reviews, but the pretty actress is hopeful about her future in the film industry.

Not many know that Malvika played the young Kareena 'Poo' Kapoor in Karan Johar's Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham.

Despite a successful start to her career as a child actor, Malvika took a break to continue with her studies.

She tells Rediff.com Contributor PS Aaryan Khanna, "I was looking for the right opportunity. The start has to be great. I'm glad Squad came along."

How did Squad come to you?

It was offered to me. I was looking to work in the action arena.

The idea was very intriguing and things fell in place.

It was something that would get the best out of me. That was it.

The gut feeling said yes and I went with it.

You played Kareena Kapoor's younger character in Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham in 2001. You are returning as a lead actress. What have you been doing all these years?

I have learned acting.

I completed my studies.

I did a few ads and then I was looking for the right opportunity. The start has to be great.

I'm glad that Squad came along.

How was Shah Rukh Khan as a co-star? Any striking memories from the K3G says?

He is the most vibrant, witty and caring human.

He is bigger in person.

Did you keep in touch with him?

No. It's been quite some time since we met.

He has been a person whose actions have inspired me, not just his words.

Were you in touch with Karan Johar?

Not really, but we meet at parties. He has been a huge influence.

What was he like as a director during K3G?

He was very empathetic and extremely sweet.

He taught me how to go about things and always gave me confidence. There are so many memories (of shooting the film).

While shooting in the busy bylanes, we would eat street food all the time. It was like shots between eating sessions (laughs).

You made your debut opposite Rinzing Denzongpa. Did you learn any tricks about action from him?

A lot, actually. We would discuss how to go about things and there was so much creative germination on set.

We would look at some famous action heroes and heroines and learn about body language.

You caught COVID-19 during the shoot of the film, right?

I caught COVID-19 before we left for our second schedule. I was home for like 20 days.

I got quarantined and they were in touch with me via the net.

They kept the mood high and it was a team that really worked together.

In hindsight, it was something that got me closer to the team of Squad.

What sort of precautions did you continue taking during the shoot after you recovered from COVID-19?

The sanitising was always happening.

We would take off the mask only when we gave the shot.

Also, we tried our best to keep up the social distancing.

We did yoga to boost immunity.

Were you upset that your debut film wasn't theatrical and released on OTT?

Not really. In OTT, the world is the audience.

We have some of the biggest stars on the OTT.

It's destiny and every movie has its own destiny.

Weren't you going to make your Bollywood debut with Emraan Hashmi's Captain Nawab?

We prepared for that film. We left nothing to chance but it got shelved.

Oh No! Here’s Why Salman Khan Called Jacqueline Fernandez ‘Bewakoof’ For Doing Cardio On Treadmill

Salman Khan plays an important role in shaping up the acting career of many Bollywood actors, including Jacqueline Fernandez. The actress, who made her debut with Aladin in 2009, got instant fame and recognition with Salman’s Kick. Jacqueline and Salman, since then, have been good friends and are often seen together. Known for his great sense of humour, the Sultan actor revealed on The Kapil Sharma Show, that he used to ask Jacqueline to try out farming while at his farmhouse in Panvel. The actor added she was "foolish" to do cardio on the treadmill.

During the promotions of 'Antim: The Final Truth', Salman appeared on the popular comedy show and shared funny anecdotes of his lockdown days at the Panvel farmhouse. The 55-year-old superstar revealed that he spent a considerable amount of time at his Panvel farmhouse during the lockdown last year. He was accompanied by a couple of his friends and one of them was Jacqueline.

Salman said, “Jacqueline bhi thi humare saath wahan par. Cardio kar rahi hai treadmill ke upar bewakoofon ki tarah. Bewakoofi hai. Maine kaha zameen khodo (Jacqueline was also there with us. She was doing cardio on the treadmill like a fool. It was foolish. I told her… farm the land).” 

Speaking about why he recommended farming, the Tiger Zinda Hai actor added “Uske andar pura din bhi chala jata hai, aur aisa lagta hai ki kuchh kiya hai din mein. Aap fasal bhi uga rahe ho (It takes an entire day and you feel like you’ve done something. You’re growing crops also).”

Kajol’s sister Tanishaa Mukerji tests positive for COVID-19 - Times of India

Bollywood actress and Kajol Mukerji’s sister Tanishaa Mukerji becomes the latest celeb to test positive for COVID-19 after theatres have reopened in Maharashtra.
Taking to her social media handle, Tanisha informed her fans about her health and wrote, “Hey everyone I've been detected COVID positive and will be isolating as required."

Tanishaa is one of the many celebs who resumed work amid the pandemic. While shooting for a film in Lucknow earlier this year, she told BT, “It’s a bad situation for the film industry. There is definitely a risk taken every time you go on set. But you can calculate that risk to a certain amount and you can protect yourself in your environment. You have to think of so much more. Before you walk into the set, you have to wear your mask, before the shot you have to take it off and then sanitise after each shot. Earlier we were so casual about our coffee, our water bottle, where we sit on set but now one has to be so careful.”

She also added, “At the same time, we can’t live in fear, I don’t believe in that. But I do believe in being very careful. But no, it hasn’t affected my craft. When I get in front of the camera, I am my character. Most actors are like that. We are creative people, so in front of the camera, you are disconnecting from reality and in that imaginary world that the cinema creates for you. I am not Tanishaa then, I am the character.”

Tanishaa made her Bollywood debut in 2003 with ‘Sssshhh…’ and went ahead to be a part of several films, such as Uday Chopra stare ‘Neal n Nikki’, ‘Sarkar’, ‘Sarkar Raaj’ and many more.


Currently, she is set for her Bollywood comeback with an upcoming film ‘Code Name Abdul’ where she will be essaying the role of a RAW agent as the lead. Apart from her, the film also stars Akku Kulhari. Helmed by Eshwar Gunturu, it will release on December 10, 2021.

Kangana Ranaut in trouble again; FIR against actress for Instagram post ‘spreading hatred against Sikhs’ : Bollywood News - Bollywood Hungama

Kangana Ranaut never escapes legal trouble or trouble in general. A new FIR has been filed against the troublemaker actress Kangana Ranaut at Khar police station Mumbai regarding her Instagram Story over spreading ‘hate speech’ for Sikhs in her story.

A delegation of the Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee led by its President Manjinder Singh Sirsa met senior police officials in Mumbai on Monday. The delegation briefed officials that time and again Kangana is involved in hurting Sikh sentiments and that legal action should be initiated against her.

An FIR directly under section 295A has been registered against the Manikarnika actress for her spreading hate on social media.

Kangana Ranaut, has a following of 7.9M people on Instagram where she posted ‘khalistani terrorists may be arm twisting the government today but let's not forget one woman, the only woman prime minister ne inn ko apni jhutti ke niche crush kiya the…’. She was referring to Indira Gandhi who launched the operation Blue Star at Golden Temple Amritsar in the year 1984’

This post offended Sikhs in millions and later she had to face repercussions of the hate speech she had spread. Akali Dal leader and spokesperson, Sirsa said that Kangana doesn’t deserve Padma Shri and this honour should be taken back from her by the President of India. He added that the actress should either be in jail or a mental hospital for making such statements against the Sikh community.

The Indian Youth Congress (IYC) and the Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee (DSGMC), too, filed several police complaints against Ranaut on Saturday for allegedly making seditious and derogatory remarks. IYC national secretary Amreesh Ranjan Pandey and Ambuj Dixit, co-coordinator of the outfit’s legal cell, filed a complaint against the infamous actress at the Parliament Street Police Station in New Delhi.

Kangana’s remarks and statements often offend the citizens of India. A couple of days ago, the actress had drawn criticism towards herself after she commented on India’s Independence. She said that India got its real Independence in 2014 and what we got in 1947 was ‘Bheek’. Due to this behavior, she is largely Despised on social media. In fact, due to her rude remarks, Twitter recently banned her from their platform to prevent its users from Kangana’s hate dialogues.

Priyanka Chopra's Net Worth as One of the Biggest Bollywood Actresses

Raking it in! Priyanka Chopra’s net worth is staggering as one of the highest-paid Bollywood actresses. The self-made millionaire, who is married to Nick Jonas, has worked in the entertainment industry for over 20 years. 

Priyanka has an estimated net worth of approximately $70 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. The outlet reports this is her and Nick’s combined net worth since getting married in 2018 during a weekend event in India that cost an estimated $584,000.

The Quantico actress was born in Jamshedpur, Bihar, India, and spent some time in the United States as a teen. She began skyrocketing to fame after winning the title of Miss World in 2000. She then scored her first movie roles in Thamizhan and The Hero two years later. 

The Isn’t It Romantic actress’ star kept rising as she continued winning awards for her films, including a national award for Best Actress, five Filmfare Awards and a Critics Choice Awards. In addition, the Matrix Resurrections actress appeared in stage productions and reality television shows. She now ranks as one of the top ten highest-paid Bollywood actresses, according to multiple outlets.

It may come as a surprise to some fans that Priyanka also had a very successful music career after signing with Universal Music Group in 2011, and she became the first Bollywood celebrity to join Los Angeles-based Creative Artists Agency, LLC. One of her notable songs includes “Exotic,” which features Pitbull.  

The Sky Is Pink star is also an entrepreneur and invested in a production company called Purple Pebble Pictures in 2016. They have produced several regional films and plan to expand. 

While Priyanka has amassed quite a fortune for herself. That being said, the White Tiger actress has previously talked about being very careful with her money in order to keep her “financial independence,” which she called “paramount.”

“My mom always says that when a woman is financially independent, she has the ability to live life on her own terms,” the Krrish actress said. “I think that was the soundest advice that I ever got. No matter where you go in life or who you get married to, you have to be financially independent — whether you use it or not. You don’t know what curve balls life will throw at you. You should have the ability to take care of yourself and the people you love. That has always stayed in my mind.”

After getting married to the JoBro, Priyanka’s real estate portfolio grew a little bigger, as well. The couple bought a $6.5 million home in Beverly Hills. However, they had a major upgrade in November 2019 when they moved to a $20 million mansion in Encino, California. The 20,000 square-foot house features seven bedrooms and 11 bathrooms.

From Nushrratt Bharuccha to Kareena Kapoor Khan: Actresses who have played pregnant women on-screen!

© Provided by BollywoodLife.com

Bollywood actresses are undoubtedly winning the box office game today with their experimental characters and earning massive love and applause with their performances. From shouldering the responsibility of an entire film on their own to essaying bold characters, Bollywood actresses have paved the way. Many actresses even have played the role of a mother and have flaunted a baby bump on screen. Here's the list of actresses who have done so:

Nushrratt Bharuccha in Chhorii

Actress Nushrratt Bharuccha is all set to play the role of a pregnant woman in her horror drama, 'Chhorii' based out of a rural town. For her part, the actress started wearing the 'pregnant' bodysuit almost 25 days prior to the shoot. She had said, "As I'm not actually going to become pregnant for now in reality, I had them make that bodysuit for me to feel what a woman bearing child actually goes through. I was wearing it 20-25 days before the film's shoot started, and literally did all of my chores including eating, sleeping, going to the bathroom, roaming around and everything else to understand the restrictions that it comes with." 'Chhorii' is all set to present Nushrratt shouldering the film for the first time on her own, where she will be carrying the entire narrative of the film single-handedly.

In the dramedy, 'Good Newzz', Kareena plays the role of a pregnant woman on-screen. Kareena's character in the film is eager to have a baby and hence her pregnant role.

Kriti Sanon's career-best performance, 'Mimi' showed her as a pregnant woman on-screen. The actress played the role of a surrogate mother, for which she gained weight to essay her character convincingly and put on around 15 kilos for her role in 'Mimi'. Touted as a game-changer for the actress, 'Mimi' also showed Kriti single-handedly carrying the film and acing at it.

Vidya Balan played a pregnant lady all through the filming of 'Kahaani' and she even promoted the film while donning a prosthetic baby bump. While shooting for Shakuntala Devi biopic, the actress sported a baby bump. She essays the role of the math genius in the film, while Sanya Malhotra plays the role of her on-screen daughter.

Indian Actress Priyanka Chopra Finally Featured on 'The Matrix Resurrections' Posters

MUMBAI – Fans were perplexed as to why Priyanka Chopra wasn't featured on the “The Matrix Resurrections” main poster along with Erendira Ibarra, Keanu Reeves, Carrie-Anne Moss, Jessica Henwick and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II. The makers of the hit franchise have now released fresh character posters from the film.

Chopra took to her Instagram to share her poster, writing in the caption, "And she's here. Re-enter #TheMatrix 12.22.21."

The poster features dual tones of red and blue which go pretty well with Chopra's two-toned outfit and also subtly hints at the red and blue pills which Neo is forced to choose from upon discovering the truth of the Matrix in the first film from the franchise.

Other character posters feature actors from the fourth instalment in varying shades like Keanu's in cyan, Carrie's in sea green, Yahya's in amber, Neil Patrick Harris in dual shades of cantaloupe and purple, Jessica's in the tone of cobalt blue, Erendira's in purple and Jonathan Groff in royal blue.

“The Matrix Resurrections,” produced, co-written, and directed by Lana Wachowski, tells the story 20 years after “The Matrix Revolutions.” The film is all set to release theatrically in the U.S. on Dec. 22.

In related news, ANI adds from Washington: Global star Priyanka Chopra, in a subtle manner, quashed all the rumors about her separation from husband and singer Nick Jonas.

Rumors of a split between the couple began circulating recently when fans and followers noticed that Priyanka, who often goes by Chopra-Jonas, dropped both of her last names from her social media handles. The reason behind the name change is still unclear, but Priyanka seemed to put any breakup speculations to rest with a romantic comment on her husband's latest Instagram post.

On Nov. 22 night, Nick took to Instagram to share a video of himself performing some bicep curls during a workout session.

"Monday motivation. Let's get it," Nick captioned the post. Priyanka commented on the post, "Damn! I just died in your arms." She also added an emoji with heart eyes, another sweating and a third simple red heart.

Bollywood superstar Salman Khan slams nepotism charge in ‘Antim: The Final Truth’ casting

Image Credit:

Bollywood superstar Salman Khan is acutely aware that working with his brother-in-law Aayush Sharma in his production ‘Antim: The Final Truth’ will reek of nepotism and unfair advantage. But the A-lister, with immense clout in the film industry, discredits those accusations by claiming that he wasn’t keen to hire him either.

“I was not the one to even recommend him. In fact, I was against that decision … But he surprised us all,” said Khan in an audio Zoom call with Gulf News.

In director Mahesh Manjrekar’s action thriller ‘Antim: The Final Truth’, releasing in the UAE on November 25, Khan plays an upright Sikh cop who is on a mission to flush out unscrupulous gangster Rahuliya, played by a baby-faced Sharma.

The unusual casting choice, in which Sharma is on call to look menacing and vitriolic, has understandably polarised Bollywood movie fans who cynically wonder out aloud if the one-film-old Sharma has earned enough street credit to play such a demanding role. But Khan, 55, lets us in on a secret.

“Initially, it was only about me doing my cop character and there was another actor doing this other character. Ayush didn’t look like Rahuliya three months before starting this film, but I saw his growth in the last one and a half months and his dedication was stupendous … Trust me, he was not taken in this film because he is my brother-in-law, but because he is an actor who showed us that he suited that part,” said the veteran actor.

Khan is also the producer of this film, but he says that it was director Manjrekar who convinced him to take Sharma on board.

“The director believed that he could extract what he wanted from Ayush … Honestly, my brother-in-law doesn’t look or behave like Rahuliya. He’s a soft-spoken, humble boy. But when I saw him playing this character, we knew we had made the right choice. And, we didn’t face any date problems with him,” said Khan with a laugh.

Khan also points out that he’s under no compulsion to cast his brothers , his relatives, or his friends in his own productions.

“I see them at home, I don’t need them on screen too,” pointed out Khan in his trademark sarcastic manner.

While Sharma’s inclusion in the film has raised many an eyebrow, Khan doesn’t face any such snubs. The ‘Dabangg’ actor, who was loved for his role as a cheeky and irreverent cop Chulbul Pandey in the hit film franchise, is right up his street in ‘Antim’. The bankable actor and blockbuster magnet is known for playing lion-hearted and virtuous roles. His army of fans are always overjoyed when he plays an indestructible force of nature.

“But this character is totally different from Chulbul Pandey and any other character that I have played so far in my career. I played a Sikh cop long time ago in ‘Heroes’ and it was just a cameo … My character in ‘Antim’ is noble. He has scruples, ethics, and morals,” said Khan.

The turban-wearing cop isn’t impulsive and is calm even when he gets humiliated and focuses on doing the right thing in life. “He’s the kind of guy who fights all odds and cleans up the mess,” said Khan.

While his personal life may be checkered with his several brush-ins with the law , his one-screen persona in mostly family entertainers with songs, dance, action,and drama does not reflect any grim shades.

His career-defining roles — be it playing a committed lover in ‘Maine Pyar Kiya’ or a golden-hearted nationalist in ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’ — are invariably unblemished, cheerful, and wholesome.

A still from 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan'

But of late, his sheen and star power seems to have slightly worn off. His last release in May this year, ‘Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bhai’, didn’t curry any flavour with critics, but managed a respectable earning when it released directly on web streaming platforms in India and in cinemas in the UAE. According to Forbes, the combined collection of ‘Radhe’, both from box office earnings from cinemas as well as pay-per-view model, was pegged at more than Rs2 billion. The hybrid release model was taken out in duress due to the multiple lockdowns triggered by the global COVID-19 pandemic, says Khan.

“If I didn’t take that step, we knew there will be no jobs or no salaries. It was so difficult for people to survive during that … It was lockdown after lockdown. So I thought why not with Rs250 your whole family could sit together and watch a film for almost free ... But it didn’t have the same impact at all like you see it in the big screen,” observed Khan. But he doesn’t blame anyone for that misstep and misadventure.

“When I saw ‘Radhe …’ myself on a large television screen, I didn’t get that same impact because that film at its core had some amazing action sequences. They just didn’t look like the way we imagined,” said Khan. Piracy also didn’t help at that point, according to the actor.

With ‘Antim’, Khan and his team have made a conscious decision to release it solely in the cinemas worldwide. But it wasn’t just Khan who battled a lot of uncertainty. During the making of ‘Antim’, director Manjrekar was diagnosed with urinary bladder cancer.

“He never showed any fear. He completed the whole film’s shooting and after that went in for his surgery. He’s so strong and he was like a rock … so brave. He’s a true hero,” said Khan.

Manjrekar has emerged cancer-free now. And, now the whole focus is on rolling out their labour of love.

‘Antim: The Final Truth’ is culled from Pravin Tarde’s Marati film ‘Mulshi Pattern’ (2018). But Khan claims the plot may be similar, but the characters and the story have been dramatically altered. Even the scale is different, points out the actor.

“That was made on a small budget, but this film is made on a big budget in terms of actions, songs, proper climax, sets and everything,” said Khan.

But it isn’t the budget or the scale that’s rocking his boat right now. Khan is undertandably ecstatic that Bollywood cinema is limping back to normalcy. Due to the closure of cinemas in India for nearly two years, the entertainment industry has naturally taken a heavy beating. In the last two months after the cinemas in Maharashtra — a key market for Bollywood — re-opened, big budget films such as Akshay Kumar’s ‘Sooryavanshi’ and Rani Mukerji’s ‘Bunty Aur Babli 2’ have dipped their toes into the pool of theatrical releases. But none of it has been easy as Khan describes that challenging phase as an inordinately tough time.

“It has been difficult for everyone, no matter what position they are in. Very few people made money and those did made a lot of money … But apart from that, it has just been really bad,” said Khan.

Apparently, during a late-night drive he spotted a dark cinema hall in his city and that vision gutted him.

“I felt so bad because all the lights were off and it made me realise that movies in theatres is the only real entertainment we have in our country … Going to a theatre and watching a movie will always remain the best form of entertainment ... So here we are with ‘Antim’”

Tuesday Trivia: When Sabyasachi asked Deepika Padukone to come in burqa for her wedding dress trials

© Provided by Pinkvilla

It is every bride’s dream to look their best on their d-day. Even our Bollywood actresses have the same dream and wish to look stunning on their wedding day. Be it, Anushka Sharma or Priyanka Chopra, every actress left their fans speechless with pictures of them dressed as a bride. But one of the main challenges that the celebrities face is to hide the news of their wedding till they officially announce it. Well, something exactly like this happened even with Deepika Padukone when she was all set to tie the knot with Ranveer Singh. The actress’ bridal lehenga was designed by Sabyasachi and in the quest to keep it all a secret, the designer had called the Om Shanti Om actress in a burqa for her dress trials. 

Yes! You heard it right. Deepika Padukone had dressed in a burqa when she went for her bridal lehenga trial. Narrating this story to Filmfare Sabyasachi had once said, “When Deepika called, and it's not because of her, the first thing that flashed into my head was Nightmare on Elm Street part 5. I was like 'oh my god' because you see I did Anushka's wedding before that...We do a lot of celebrity weddings but in India when you are doing the wedding of a movie star you're very worried the secrets will go out and I was like when we were doing Anushka's wedding there was a month we had but with Deepika's, there was six and everybody was speculating. I mean she and Ranveer must have gotten married 50 times in the press before she was actually married.”

Well, Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh got hitched in a dreamy destination in Italy with their family, loved ones and close friends. Gorgeous pictures of the couple from their big day do rounds on social media even today. We have to admit that Deepika indeed looked breathtakingly gorgeous.

Bollywood actresses are undoubtedly winning the box office game today with their experimental characters and earning massive love and applause with their performances. From shouldering the responsibility an entire film on their own, to essaying bold characters, Bollywood actresses have paved the way. Many actresses even have played the role of a mother and have flaunted a baby bump on screen. Here's the list of actresses who have done so: 

Nushrratt Bharuccha in Chhorii

Actress Nushrratt Bharuccha is all set to play the role of a pregnant woman in her horror drama, 'Chhorii' based out of a rural town. For her part, the actress started wearing the ‘pregnant’ bodysuit almost 25 days prior to the shoot. She had said, “As I’m not actually going to become pregnant for now in reality, I had them make that bodysuit for me to feel what a woman bearing child actually goes through. I was wearing it 20-25 days before the film’s shoot started, and literally did all of my chores including eating, sleeping, going to the bathroom, roaming around and everything else to understand the restrictions that it comes with.” 'Chhorii' is all set to present Nushrratt shouldering the film for the first time on her own, where she will be carrying the entire narrative of the film single-handedly. 

Priyanka Chopra in The Sky is Pink

This movie is a heart-warming love story of a married couple, nostalgically narrating the 25 years of their teenage daughter's life, who has now passed away. The film unveils the journey of this couple starring actors Priyanka Chopra and Farhan Akhtar in an unexpected magical tale of two parents who bear a girl with a rare genetic condition that takes away her life. The parents work towards providing their daughter with all the different experiences possible as they also try to fulfill her wishes and dreams, all before the clock stops ticking

Kareena Kapoor Khan in Good Newzz

In the dramedy, 'Good Newzz', Kareena plays the role of a pregnant woman on-screen. Kareena’s character in the film is eager to have a baby and hence her pregnant role. This is a hilarious tale of two married couples. Actors Akshay Kumar, Kareena Kapoor, Kiara Advani, and Diljeet Dosanjh are the couples who face difficulty in conceiving and the story unfolds with series of twists after they seek advice from doctors. As the story progresses, the couple ends up in a complicated situation after there is a big blunder at the doctor's end. The film is directed by Raj Mehta and it also features Tisca Chopra, Adil Hussain, Anjana Sukhani, Faisal Rashid among others.

Preity Zinta in Salaam Namaste

This film released in 2005, is a love story starring Saif Ali Khan and Preity Zinta. Preity's charecter Ambar embraces the idea of becoming parents to their unplanned baby. While Saif plays the role of the father who is completely against keeping the baby initially, Preeti plays the mother who takes the decision to raise the child on her own regardless of her partner's decision. As the story moves forward, we see the pair eventually learning to respect each other as they excitedly work towards becoming parents to their child. Directed by Siddharth Anand, the film also featured Arshad Warsi, Tania Zaetta, Jugal Hansraj, Jaaved Jaffrey among others.

Kriti Sanon in Mimi

Kriti Sanon's career best performance, 'Mimi' showed her as a pregnant woman on-screen. The actress played the role of a surrogate mother, for which she gained weight to essay her character convincingly and put on around 15 kilos for her role in ‘Mimi’. Touted as a game changer for the actress, 'Mimi' also showed Kriti single-handedly carrying the film and acing at it. 

Vidya Balan in 'Kahani' and 'Shakuntala Devi

Vidya Balan played a pregnant lady all through the filming of ‘Kahaani’ and she even promoted the film while donning a prosthetic baby bump. While shooting for Shakuntala Devi biopic, the actress sported a baby bump. She essays the role of the math genius in the film, while Sanya Malhotra plays the role of her onscreen daughter.

Bollywood: Kangana Ranaut booked for calling minority Sikhs 'terrorists' | Daily Sun |

2. Entertainment
3. Bollywood: Kangana Ranaut booked for calling minority Sikhs 'terrorists'

The Bollywood actor who is in the news perpetually for all the wrong reasons, Kangana Ranaut has landed in a soup over her deregoratory comments against the country's minority Sikh community.

Police in the western city of Mumbai have filed an FIR -- the beginning of a criminal probe -- against the actress for calling the Sikhs, who're at the forefront of the farmers' protests in India, "Khalistani terrorists" on a complaint from the community members.

"Khalistani terrorists may be arm twisting the government today... But let's not forget one woman... The only woman prime minister who crushed them under her shoes. No matter how much suffering she caused to this nation... she crushed them like mosquitoes at the cost of her own life...," she wrote on Instagram recently.

Officials said the 34-year-old actor has been booked under Section 295A (deliberate and malicious acts, intended to outrage religious feelings of any class by insulting its religion or religious beliefs) of the Indian Penal Code. "A probe is on," an officer said.

The FIR was filed against Kangana days after Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced the scrapping of three contentious agricultural laws, apparently buckling under year-long farmer protests.

Tens of thousands of farmers, mostly from the Sikh community, have been camping on the outskirts of Delhi in protest against three controversial agricultural laws that they fear could hurt their livelihoods.

Known for her versatility and portrayal of strong women in female-centric films, Kangana is one of India's highest-paid actresses. She is the recipient of four National Film Awards.

She made her Bollywood debut in the 2006 thriller Gangster. She also received praise for her roles in Woh Lamhe (2006), Life in a... Metro (2007) and Fashion (2008). Queen and Tanu weds Manu are some of her other hits.

Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut unfazed by new FIR filed against her

Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut was recently hit with a police complaint over alleged derogatory remarks, but she isn’t sweating the latest in the long line of cases filed against her.

Manjinder Singh Sirsa, the Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee President, lodged a complaint on Saturday and demanded that her Padma Shri (India’s fourth highest civilian honour) be revoked after the actress made comments about the Sikh community and the farmers protests in India.

However, Ranaut is taking it easy. The actress shared an Instagram story using an old picture of herself; in it, she’s dressed in a provocative outfit and is posing in a room full of old pictures and decor.

“Another day, another FIR. Just in case they come to arrest me. My mood at home,” she captioned the picture, seemingly unbothered by the uproar over her earlier offending Instagram posts.

The ‘Queen’ actress had taken to Instagram — since she’s banned on Twitter for making communal statements — and shared her views about the farmers protests that led to Indian Prime Minister repealing three controversial farm laws.

“Khalistani terrorists may be arm twisting the government today... But let’s not forget one woman... The only woman prime minister ne inn neechee crush kiya tha... No matter how much suffering she caused to this nation... she crushed them like mosquitos at the cost of her own life...,” Ranaut wrote, referring to late Indian prime minister Indira Gandhi.

Her post might even be a plug for her upcoming movie ‘Emergency’, where Ranaut plays Gandhi.

Sirsa, in a Twitter post, had said: “Kangana Ranaut and her sick mentality does not represent the spirit of India. She is spitting venom against a particular section of society and is spreading communal hatred.”

Other cases that Ranaut is currently embroiled in includes a defamation case from lyricist Javed Akhtar and a sedition case filed by a Bollywood casting director and fitness trainer.

Bollywood: Is Aamir Khan getting married soon?

Rumours have been circulating that Aamir Khan is planning to announce his third marriage. Some unconfirmed reports claim that the actor plans to announce his marriage after the release of 'Laal Singh Chaddha'.

The movie features Khan and Kareena Kapoor Khan in the lead and is the official remake of 'Forrest Gump'. Elsewhere, certain sources have rubbished the rumours in media reports.

Khan and Kiran Rao jointly published a statement confirming their divorce on July 3. It was around this time that the actor received flak for his alleged involvement with his 'Dangal' co-star Fatima Sana Shaikh.

Addressing these dating rumours, Fatima had said in an interview: “A bunch of strangers, whom I've never met, are writing things about me. They don't even know if there's any truth to it. People reading it assume that I'm 'not a good person'. You feel like telling that person, 'Ask me, I'll give you an answer. It disturbs me because I don't want people to assume wrong things.”

Khan and second wife Rao met on the sets of 'Lagaan' in 2001 and got married in 2005. They parted ways earlier this year and have one son, Azad Rao Khan, who was was born through surrogacy in 2011.

Priyanka Chopra Removes Her Surname Jonas From Instagram, Fans Suspect Divorce

After removing her husband Nick Jonas' last name from her Instagram profile, Priyanka Chopra sparked online divorce rumours. The Bollywood actress sent the internet into a frenzy when she removed 'Jonas' from her name on her Instagram profile, sparking rumours that things between the couple aren't going well. 

The actress's fans are speculating that she and Jonas are divorcing three years after their wedding because of the move.

Chopra had changed her name on social media by adding Jonas to her social media handles after marrying Nick Jonas in a big fat Punjabi wedding in December 2018. Chopra's fans, on the other hand, are concerned about her sudden move.

Neither her team has responded nor commented on the matter, but the actress' abrupt change has undoubtedly sparked speculation among netizens as to why she has changed her name.

The actress' move comes just days after she and Nick celebrated their first Diwali in their newly purchased home. Chopra captioned a photo of her and her husband Jonas celebrating Diwali from their new home, saying, “Our first Diwali in our first home together. This one will always be special,” “Thank you to everyone who worked so hard to make this evening so special. You’re my angels.”

 

PeeCee's close friend in Mumbai, who spoke to ETimes on the condition of anonymity, said "Don't believe these baseless rumours." According to a close friend, many social media users have developed a proclivity for overthinking.

However, Chopra's mother, Madhu, has issued a statement to a news portal claiming that the rumours are false and asking netizens not to spread them.

Meanwhile, the actress will next be seen in Keanu Reeves' 'Matrix: Ressurections,' as well as Farhan Akhtar's 'Jee Le Zaraa,' which also stars Katrina Kaif and Alia Bhatt.
