Shah Rukh Khan’s charitable organisation, the Meer Foundation, has stepped up to provide vital assistance to families affected by the recent devastating floods in Punjab. In partnership with local NGOs, the foundation has launched a comprehensive relief effort, reaching 1,500 households across districts, including Amritsar, Patiala, Fazilka, and Firozpur.

The aid packages comprise essential medicines, hygiene items, food supplies, mosquito nets, tarpaulins, foldable beds, cotton mattresses, and other critical necessities. This initiative aims to address immediate health and safety needs while also supporting long-term rebuilding efforts, helping families restore their lives with dignity.

Celebrities Responding To Flood Relief In Punjab

Punjab is facing one of its most severe flood crises in recent history, with rising waters from the Beas, Satluj, Ravi, and Ghaggar rivers displacing thousands. The disaster has sparked an outpouring of support from the entertainment and sports communities, with many celebrities contributing resources for relief and recovery.

Salman Khan’s Being Human sent 5 lifeboats to rescue the affected families. Akshay Kumar has committed Rs 5 crore, calling his contribution “seva” rather than charity. Former cricketer Harbhajan Singh has donated 10 boats to assist rescue efforts, while his wife Geeta Basra has been actively distributing supplies on the ground.

Punjabi artist and actor Ammy Virk is working to reconstruct 200 homes for displaced families, even postponing the release of his upcoming film. Singer and actor Diljit Dosanjh has adopted 10 villages in the Majha region, focusing on sustainable solutions like solar power and essential supplies for long-term rehabilitation. Sonu Sood has urged his followers to donate generously, with his sister Malvika leading on-the-ground relief activities.

What Happened In The Punjab Floods?

The floods in Punjab in 2025 began intensely in late August, between August 26 and 29, triggered by heavy rains in Himachal Pradesh and Jammu & Kashmir that caused the rivers Sutlej, Beas, Ravi, and Ghaggar to overflow. This resulted in flooding in districts such as Ferozepur, Amritsar, Gurdaspur, Pathankot, and Kapurthala, submerging farmland and homes. By August 29, more than 1,000 villages were submerged. The situation worsened in early September due to continuous rainfall and controlled releases from dams, affecting all 23 districts. This has been described as the most severe flood in Punjab since 1988.

Where is Karisma Kapoor amid messy legal battle over Sunjay Kapur’s ₹30,000 estate?

Actor Karisma Kapoor’s personal life is out in the open with chapters from her past relationship with late businessman Sunjay Kapur surfacing once again amid the messy legal battle over Sunjay’s ₹30,000 crore estate. However, the actor is detaching herself from all the noise and focusing on work.

Sunjay Kapur and Karisma Kapoor were married from 2003-2016.

Karisma focuses on her work

The dispute over Sunjay’s vast ₹30,000 crore estate has escalated, with his children Samaira and Kiaan, from his marriage to Karisma, accusing Sunjay’s widow and third wife Priya Sachdev of forging his will and excluding them from the inheritance. On Wednesday, the Delhi High Court took up the plea filed by Samaira and Kiaan, where several allegations and accusations were made. Karisma is not a plaintiff in the case, but is representing her children.

Amid all the chatter, we have heard Karisma is focusing on her work. “At the moment, Karisma is in Mumbai and totally focused on her work. She is not letting the controversy surrounding her ex-husband Sunjay Kapur’s estate impact her professional life,” says a source.

The insider continues, “Karisma is fulfilling her professional commitment as usual. She is shooting for several projects. She was recently seen in Super Dancer Chapter 5 as a special guest, and even travelled for an event. And she intends to continue to do that. Because the show must go on.”

Sunjay Kapur was married to Karisma from 2003 to 2016. Their children, Samaira and Kiaan, were born in 2005 and 2011, respectively. Sunjay married Priya Sachdev in 2017 after a bitter divorce from Karisma.

The businessman, who was the chairman and founder of auto manufacturer Sona Comstar, died in June in London after a purported heart attack. Reports say his estate is worth ₹30000 crore.

What do we know about the estate feud

Karisma’s children Samaira Kapur (20) and Kiaan Raj Kapur (15) have approached the Delhi High Court demanding a share in their late father’s estate. In their plea, they claimed that their late father had ‘repeatedly assured’ them of their share, which was eventually absent in his final will. They have accused their stepmother, Sunjay’s third wife, Priya Sachdev Kapur, of altering the will. The suit was filed after Priya at a July 30 family meeting presented a will allegedly executed on March 21 – has also sought an injunction on the transfer or disposal of the property.

During the hearing, Priya, through her lawyer Rajiv Nayyar, accused Karisma of being absent from Sunjay’s life for the past 15 years and suddenly appearing in their life after his death. Priya’s legal team emphasised that she was Sunjay’s legally wedded wife.

“I am his legal wife. The claims of love and affection – where was all this when they fought prolonged divorce legal battles in the Supreme Court,” Rajiv said.

The lawyer added, “Your husband left you several years ago.” He was referring to Karisma and Sunjay’s messy divorce in 2016, which saw allegations around domestic abuse as well as substance abuse. Another report claimed that Sunjay was helping his former wife and actor Karisma Kapoor and their kids get Portuguese citizenship.

Justice Jyoti Singh directed Priya to file her replies to the plaint and posted the matter for further hearing on October 9. The Court has asked Priya to submit a list of all movable and immovable assets of Sunjay.

Abuse allegations, Babita’s influence, and Bollywood: How Sunjay Kapoor, Karisma Kapoor’s ‘fairytale’ marriage ended

by jummy84
written by jummy84

In the early 2000s, Karisma Kapoor was one of Bollywood’s top female stars. When her engagement with actor Abhishek Bachchan was announced, it made news for weeks. The two ‘royal families’ of Bollywood were coming together, it seemed. But it was not to be. Within months, their engagement was broken, and just months later, Karisma was betrothed to industrialist Sunjay Kapur.

Many in Bollywood asked who Sunjay was at the time. The Delhi-based industrialist was a divorcee and known to be the life of the Delhi party circuit. But none of that mattered to Karisma’s mother, former actor Babita. A source told Hindustan Times in the mid-2000s that she always wanted an ‘industrialist husband’ for Karisma. “Sunjay was a good catch and nothing else mattered except his industrialist tag,” the source added, “Sunjay himself was perhaps a little star-struck.”

The fairytale wedding

It was a fairytale wedding at the RK Studios in Chembur, Mumbai, on September 29, 2003. Although a large section of Bollywood avoided the wedding due to their loyalties to the Bachchans, Karisma soon wrapped up her pending films and moved to Delhi.

She continued to travel to Mumbai to film her show Karishma: A Miracle of Destiny, but reports said that Sunjay did not like that. Karisma ended the show and bid her acting career goodbye, at least for a while.

The first cracks appear

But the Delhi-Mumbai divide hit her hard. A source told HT in 2006 that Karisma felt uneasy at Delhi’s parties and did not fit with the socialite crowd. “She was unable to match wits with the Delhi society crowd,” said the source. Apparently, “she once thought a Labrador was a new car.”

In March 2005, Karisma moved back to Mumbai for the birth of her daughter, Samaira, and stayed back. Sunjay went to her with divorce papers, but she refused to sign. After much negotiation, the two reconciled. Son, Kiaan, was born in 2011.

The messy divorce

But the marriage unravelled again. As per reports, Sunjay’s family blamed Babita’s ‘influence and interference’ in Karisma’s life. When she filed for divorce, Karisma alleged domestic abuse and attributed it to Sunjay’s alleged substance abuse. A messy divorce followed, which saw the marriage eventually break down in 2016, almost a decade after the cracks first appeared.

Sunjay eventually married Priya Sachdev in 2017, and they had a son. Karisma and Sunjay’s children—Samaira and Kiaan—remained close to their father even after he remarried. But Karisma largely stayed away from family gatherings and vacations. The delicate balance broke after Sunjay’s death.

Sunjay’s death and the legal battle

The businessman died in June 2025 in London, and soon, Kiaan and Samaira accused Priya of forging his will and excluding them from the estate. The reported ₹30000 crore worth of the estate meant that a fight was on. The case is in the Delhi High Court now.

Janhvi Kapoor turned heads at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) in a stunning ensemble from Prada’s Spring 2004 collection. The archival look, designed by Miuccia Prada, was an ode to femininity. It represented the essence of a saree through a structured 1950s silhouette. The draping is delicate and flaunts a vintage aesthetic. The outfit became a standout moment on the international red carpet.

Janhvi paired the outfit with sleek heels inspired by the traditional Kolhapuri chappal. The footwear was custom-made by Indian designer Aprajita Toor. The minimalist design of the heels added depth to her ensemble.

Janhvi styled her hair in soft waves. She kept her makeup understated. She flaunted blushed up cheeks with mascara-heavy eyes. She kept her eyebrows defined.

The actress let the outfit speak for itself. She is attending TIFF with the cast and crew of Homebound, including Ishaan Khatter and Vishal Jethwa.

‘We All Look Like This In Our Aadhar Card Photos’, Netizens Drawing Comparison In Tamannaah Bhatia’s Then Vs Now Pictures

One of the most popular and talented Bollywood actresses, Tamannaah Bhatia, is often praised as one of the most stunning faces in the film industry. Her flawless beauty and radiant complexion frequently leave fans wondering if she is truly this breathtaking in real life. Known for her “milky white glow,” the actress always manages to grab attention with her charm. But recently, two old videos of Tamannaah have surfaced online, sparking discussions about her natural looks and complexion during her early days.

Tamannaah Bhatia

The viral clips date back to her teenage years, around the time she was making her Bollywood debut. Tamannaah stepped into films with Chand Sa Roshan Chehra in 2005, opposite Sameer Aftab. Interestingly, she was just 13 years old when she signed the project. In these resurfaced videos, fans get to see a much younger Tamannaah, still in school, looking quite different from the glamorous star they know today.

Tamannaah Bhatia

In one of the clips, she introduces herself by saying, “I study in school. My school teacher gave my name to Salim uncle, we met, and that’s how this film happened.” In another, she shares, “I am still in school, in 10th standard. I will be giving my board exams in 2005. I signed the film when I was 13 and a half years old, and now I’m about to complete my 10th.”

Tamannaah Bhatia

The videos quickly caught the internet’s attention, with netizens flooding the comments section. While some were surprised by her wheatish complexion in those clips, others defended her natural beauty. One user joked, “We all look like this in our Aadhar card photos,” while another wrote, “Still, she looks gorgeous.” A few speculated about skin treatments, commenting on “glutathione injections,” while others dismissed it as a matter of lighting and camera quality. Despite the debate, most agreed that Tamannaah has always had an undeniable charm.

Manoj Bajpayee calls box office obsession a 'monster' created by Bollywood's successful people: 'Soon it will eat them'

Manoj Bajpayee calls box office obsession a ‘monster’ created by Bollywood’s successful people: ‘Soon it will eat them’

by jummy84
written by jummy84

Actor Manoj Bajpayee is not a fan of film producers and studios throwing around box office numbers to promote their titles. The actor, who balances commercial and independent cinema, says this obsession with box office is a monster that will ‘eat up’ its own creators.

Manoj Bajpayee talks about independent cinema and box office.

The actor is gearing up for the release of Jugnuma, directed by Raam Reddy. The film has earned acclaim worldwide as The Fable and is finally getting a release in Indian theatres this month. Ahead of the release, the National Award winner sits down with Hindustan Times to talk about the state of independent films in the country and the newfound obsession with the box office.

On the box office monster

Over the last few years, box office numbers have turned into promotional tools to leverage buzz for films. Talking about the phenomenon, Manoj says, “It’s a monster that is created by the producers themselves, the commercial producers, for their own game. Very soon, this monster is going to eat you up. You have created Bhasmasura. Just wait for the day you are going to put your hand on your own head, and you will be ruined. This has been created by our own successful people, and one day it will eat them up.”

OTT’s change of stance

Equating box office success with quality has particularly hurt smaller, independent films, as their low collections are now considered a sign of bad quality. Manoj argues, “The small, independent films always experience struggle. Then came a very brief time when OTT had just entered the country, and they were welcoming. But very soon, they changed their stance, and all of them started focusing on mainstream subjects and faces. One feels sad, because I am of the opinion that if you finish independent movement, your cinema will become just a product and nothing more. If the art is taken out, it has no value.”

He gives the example of Amitabh Bachchan, a rare superstar who also did smaller films during the peak of his stardom. “Mr Bachchan has also done a few fabulous (small) films like Abhimaan and Mili. He has done many more. Only Don, after a point, will be boring. He is Mr Bachchan also because of the kind of films he has done earlier in his career,” says the actor.

The struggles of indie films

He mentions OTT platforms, the streaming giants that occupy a large chunk of India’s entertainment space now, and laments that even they have given in to commercial compulsions now. “Everyone who is more interested in making commercial films or buying commercial films knows it’s a gamble. It does not pay off that often. The producers and OTT platforms are more interested in putting their money into that film because the gain is huge. Agar ye tukka lag gaya toh bahut paisa aayega. But mostly lagta nahi hai, kuch hi lucky hote hain jinka lagta hai (If this gamble works, one can earn a lot of money, but it doesn’t happen mostly. It only works for a lucky few.) They are fine with it. But, we are also fine with our own struggles,” says Manoj.

Jugnuma, directed by Raam Reddy, also stars Priyanka Bose, Deepak Dobriyal, and Tillotama Shome. It is releasing in theatres on September 12.
