During a promotional interview for her upcoming film, Daksha: A Deadly Conspiracy, actor Lakshmi Manchu publicly blasted a reporter for constantly questioning her about her dressing style at 47 years of age. She also questioned whether he would ever ask the same thing of a male actor like Mahesh Babu.
When a reporter from Great Andhra commented that moving to Mumbai had changed her dressing, Lakshmi calmly explained that she works hard to look the way she does and that it gives her the confidence to dress as she pleases. However, when the reporter persisted, mentioning she was “close to 50” and the mother of a girl, Lakshmi hit back without raising her voice.
“Would you ask a man the same question? How dare you! How dare you ask me that question? Would you say, Mahesh Babu, you are 50 now, why are you going shirtless?” she asked. She urged the journalist to be more responsible, emphasizing that women take on a lot of responsibility and are unfairly judged.

ఇదే ప్రశ్న హీరోలను అడిగే ధైర్యం ఉందా మీకు? సమాజంలో ఆడవాళ్లకు ఇప్పటికే ఉన్న కట్టుబాట్లు చాలు, కొత్త రూల్స్ పెట్టొద్దు!

Lakshmi also cited an example of a “superstar’s wife” who lost film opportunities after her divorce because of what her ex-husband “might feel.” She contrasted this with a man’s career, which she said would never be impacted in the same way.

The interview clip went viral, with many people supporting her strong and poised response. Social media users praised her for “the way she handled the questions with true elegance” and for delivering a crucial message about gender-based double standards in the industry.
Varun Dhawan, the young and flamboyant star, launched with Student of the Year, and quickly earned the family boy tag with Dharma Productions’ fun-filled entertainer. He became a household name after spreading joy and love through films like Main Tera Hero, Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania, Badrinath Ki Dulhania, JugJugg Jeeyo, Kalank, and Bawaal. Now Varun Dhawan returns to his entertainer era with Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari. The trailer of the highly anticipated movie promises yet another mass entertainer from him.
In a career spanning over 13 years, Varun Dhawan has proven his versatility across genres. However, he truly shines in family entertainers. With Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania, Badrinath Ki Dulhania, JugJugg Jeeyo, and Bawaal, he has delivered performances that balance romance, humor, and heartwarming emotions. Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari continues this legacy, promising to capture the essence of a classic Bollywood family entertainer.
With Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania, he charmed the audience with his playful energy and chemistry. Similarly, in Badrinath Ki Dulhania, he balanced comedy with emotional depth, portraying a character that resonated with both young and family audiences. He navigated complex family dynamics in Jug Jugg Jeeyo while keeping the film lighthearted, and in Bawaal, he once again brought warmth and relatability to a modern family. In Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari, he continues to deliver the same signature energy and heartfelt moments that make him the go-to actor for family-centric Bollywood entertainers.
With Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari, Varun Dhawan is stepping back into the kind of fun, larger-than-life roles that made him a household name. Known for his infectious energy, impeccable comic timing, and ability to connect with audiences of all ages, Varun promises yet another entertainer that blends romance, laughter, and family drama. After hits like Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania, Badrinath Ki Dulhania, and Jug Jugg Jeeyo, this film marks a return to the genre that showcases his undeniable charm and versatility.
Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari is yet another Dharma Productions Family entertainer. This romantic comedy brings together Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor, who last collaborated for Bawaal, another emotional family drama. The film promises to be a desi masala rom-com vibe that Bollywood long missed.

According to tinsel town reports, Rishab Shetty will be seen in a significant cameo in Jr NTR and Prashanth Neel’s film. Both Rishab and Prasanth are Kannadigas and gel well; Jr NTR too shares great camaraderie with Rishab. Prashanth felt there’s a scope for a significant character in the narrative to appear on screen. And the director believes that Rishab would be apt for the part. While the filmmakers haven’t made any official statement on the development, fans of Jr NTR and Rishab are expressing excitement over the reports. The filmmakers also believe that Rishab’s inclusion would boost the film’s visibility in Karnataka. Featuring an explosive blend of action, drama and mass appeal, Dragon will release on June 25, 2026.

Last year, all the three stars, Jr NTR, Rishab Shetty and Prashanth Neel, holidayed together with their respective families. They were seen enjoying a spiritual trip together, visiting temples and spending time in nature in Karnataka. Their bond has set major friendship goals. Rishab Shetty, and Prashanth Neel escorted Jr NTR to the Udupi’s Shri Krishna Matha Temple. During the same trip, Jr NTR also treated his mother, Shalini, to a special birthday surprise. Their photos amid a divine atmosphere struck a chord with fans.
The much-anticipated romantic drama Aabeer Gulaal, starring Fawad Khan and Vaani Kapoor, premiered worldwide (excluding India) on September 12, but early reviews suggest the film has largely failed to impress critics. Many have dismissed it as underwhelming and lacking impact, with the BBC Asian Network’s Haroon Rashid calling it “one of the most frustrating romantic dramas I’ve watched in a very long time.”
Rashid further criticized the film, stating, “Not only does it look cheap, but it is such an incoherent, inconsistent storyline, which is such an injustice to the talent that you’re working with.” Sadiq Saleem of Khaleej Times echoed similar sentiments, writing, “One can’t help but feel that Fawad deserved better — and so did the audience.” Saleem also criticized the film’s heavy reliance on Bollywood nostalgia, with “medley of retro songs, and nods to DDLJ and Chandni.”


Gulf News critic Manjusha Radhakrishnan found the film “bloated, padded with unnecessary segues that drag the runtime.” She particularly singled out Lisa Haydon’s much-hyped cameo as “the biggest offender — it adds nothing.” Despite the overall negative reception, Radhakrishnan did acknowledge the onscreen chemistry between Fawad and Vaani, noting that “their chemistry actually clicks.”

Directed by Aarti S. Bagdi, Aabeer Gulaal was originally slated for an Indian release on May 9 but was delayed after a terror attack in Pahalgam. Recent speculation about a September 26 release in India has now been firmly denied. The Press Information Bureau (PIB) debunked the rumors on X (formerly Twitter), stating: “#PIBFactCheck This claim is FAKE. No such clearance has been granted for this film.”
The film had generated significant buzz due to Fawad Khan’s return to Indian cinema after an eight-year hiatus. His last Bollywood appearance was in Ae Dil Hai Mushkil before cultural relations between India and Pakistan led to an unofficial ban on Pakistani artists in Indian media.
Smita Patil is one of the most iconic actresses Indian Cinema witnessed. However her journey was short lived since the actress passed away 15 days after giving birth to son Prateik Babbar and her husband Raj Babbar, moved back with his first wife and children Juhi Babbar and Aarya Babbar after Smita‘s death.
Smita’s body of work includes many award-winning films like Manthan and Arth. But apart from these heavy, content-driven films that were called the ‘artsy types,’ she was a part of commercial hits like Namak Halal and others.
Smita Patil was paired with Amitabh Bachchan in Namak Halal. The film became iconic for its song Pag Ghunghroo Baandh Meera Naachi Thi – a must at Indian weddings. However, today, we will talk about what happened after shooting for the other iconic song from the film.
When we talk about the most iconic rain songs of Hindi Cinema, Aaj Rapat Jaaye probably undoubtedly tops the list. The song from Namak Halal had Amitabh Bachchan and the queen of parallel cinema dancing their heart out on the streets of Mumbai, drenched in rain. However, what happened after the shoot was surprising.
After Smita Patil completed shooting for the song, she locked her room and cried her lungs out. The reason for her meltdown was an attempt at commercial cinema, and suddenly, she was worried about her serious image that brought her weight as a star. Smita had never attempted such an eye-grabbing dance before, and she was unsure if commercial cinema would work for her like parallel films did.
Later, co-star and great friend Amitabh Bachchan stepped in and coaxed the actress to shed her inhibitions. Some reports suggest that the actor even cajoled her to broaden her perspective and balance the best of both worlds.
Namak Halal eventually was a huge hit at the box office, and Smita Patil’s dance in Aaj Rapat Jaayein with Amitabh Bachchan is sealed in history!

Many actors face pressure to maintain a youthful appearance, which leads to heavy social media criticism. While some, like Rajkummar Rao and Khushi Kapoor, have admitted to using such treatments, actress Divya Khossla has strongly voiced her disapproval of cosmetic enhancements.
Divya said that many people who go through these treatments end up looking very similar. Speaking to News 18, she said, “You can tell which doctor someone has gone to just by looking at their face.”
Divya shared that she prefers natural beauty and credits her upbringing and mother for that belief. “I never felt the need to follow beauty trends. I’ve never used fillers or Botox. My mother didn’t even let me bleach my face,” she revealed.
She also criticized young celebrities like Kylie Jenner, saying that using cosmetic treatments at a young age can make people look older. “Kylie started very young and now looks older than her age. It’s better to let ourselves age naturally, we might even look better as we grow,” she said.
Divya added that she avoids editing her photos with AI and prefers keeping some imperfections. “I hate it when my pictures are overly touched up. Some edits don’t even look like me,” she admitted. Despite facing criticism about her round face, Divya says she’s confident in how she looks. “I don’t fit the usual beauty standards, and I’m okay with that. I’m not obsessed with mirrors or make-up. What really matters is inner beauty,” she concluded.
On the work front, Divya was latest seen in Ek Chatur Naar brings together Divya Khossla and Neil Nitin Mukesh for the first time in a story revolving around a woman who is sharp with her wit and tries to outsmart everyone around her. Promising a complete rollercoaster of laughter and drama, Ek Chatur Naar lands in theatres on 12th September.
