Simone Ashley and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan left fans in a whirlwind with a heart-warming backstage encounter at Paris Fashion Week. On September 29, the Bridgerton actress took to social media to post a cute update with the legendary Indian actress, a poignant moment of reunion between two generations of international talent. The backstage interaction was at the Le Défilé: Liberté, Egalité, Sororité – “You’re Worth It” L’Oréal Paris Womenswear Spring/Summer 2026 at the Hôtel de Ville in Paris.

Both women strutted their stuff down the catwalk at the celebrity-filled fashion show, representing empowerment and worldwide sisterhood. For Indian-born Simone, it was almost a fan moment. She has in the past spoken about how much she loves Indian film, so this meeting with Aishwarya Rai—a worldwide ambassador of Indian cinema—is that much more special.

At the same time, fans are waiting patiently for a highly anticipated selfie of Aishwarya Rai with Eva Longoria, Gillian Anderson, and Heidi Klum. The four were seen taking the photo together outside the venue where the show was being held but the picture has yet to appear on social media.

Simone Ashley became a global sensation playing Kate Sharma in Bridgerton Season 2, opposite Jonathan Bailey’s Lord Anthony Bridgerton. Their chemistry received huge acclaim and saw them as one of the most popular on-screen couples in recent memory. Although she had a role in F1: The Movie with Brad Pitt, her scene ended up being cut. Her latest screen role was in Picture This opposite Anoushka Chadha and Hero Fiennes Tiffin, and she is also working on her first music album.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, who was recently seen in Ponniyin Selvan: I and II (2022–2023), continues to shine worldwide, effortlessly bridging Indian film and global fashion.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has once again stunned audiences at Paris Fashion Week, not only because of her beautiful appearance but also for her emotional interactions that have gone viral on the web. Bollywood legend and Global Ambassador of L’Oréal Paris was spotted at the fashion extravaganza in a queen-like avatar and was seen having warm, true moments with co-celebrities and fans alike.

One of the highlights of the event was Aishwarya’s adorable interaction with English model-actress Cara Delevingne. In a video now gone viral, Cara, in relaxed attire of a hoodie, jeans, and hair cap, is spotted getting down from her vehicle to greet Aishwarya with a big hug. The two shared a couple of cordial words, and Cara affectionately reached out to adjust Aishwarya’s hair. The brief but touching gesture melted hearts online, with fans praising the genuine camaraderie between the two stars. Social media was flooded with comments like, “Awwwww,” “Love two queens just being queens,” and the playful, “That’s so ‘MOM and MOSI’ kind of hugg.”

Another touching highlight was the scene where Aishwarya interacted with a young fan. In one of the videos shared on Instagram, a visibly moved fan broke down into tears upon catching sight of the actress. Aishwarya promptly hugged the fan, consoled her, and even wiped away her tears, highlighting her humility and empathy. The action only further endeared her to her fans, solidifying why she remains so endearing to the masses across the globe.

Amitabh Bachchan Trolls Pakistan, Mammootty, Anupam Kher & Others Cheer for India After Asia Cup Win

India won its 9th Asia Cup in a thrilling final last night, defeating Pakistan in Dubai. However, after the match, India refused to accept the trophy or medals from ACC President and Pakistan’s PCB Chief Mohsin Naqvi, citing tensions between the two countries, especially after the Pahalgam terror attack earlier this year. Several Indian celebrities took to social media to celebrate India’s win and congratulate the team. Some also trolled the Pakistan team.

Actor Anil Kapoor wrote on X (formerly Twitter), “India Zindabad.” Superstar Mammootty shared a picture and expressed, “Team India didn’t just win the Asia Cup, they owned it. Champions without a single defeat. Absolutely magnificent!”

Anupam Kher added, “Bharat Mata ki jay! Kya baat hai (Wow)! What a game! Oh my God. Jeetenge bhai jeetenge. Bharat Mata ki jay (We will win. Hail India)! Vande Mataram. Khush ho gaya dil. Kya bolun main (I’m so happy. What do I say?). Superb. Proud of my country, proud of this cricket team. Fantastic, very well played. God bless them.”


Meanwhile, Amitabh Bachchan took this opportunity to troll former Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Akhtar. For some context, Akhtar recently made a slip of the tongue and referred to Indian cricketer Abhishek Sharma as Abhishek Bachchan. He said in an interview, “If Pakistan manage to get Abhishek Bachchan out in a hypothetical situation, what happens to India’s middle order?” before he was quickly corrected by the host. Reacting to this, Abhishek had tweeted, “Sir, with all due respect… don’t think they’ll even manage that! And I’m not even good at playing cricket.”

 

Big B referred to this while trolling the Pakistan team after their defeat. He wrote, “Jeet Gaye! Well played ‘Abhishek Bachchan’ Udhar zabaan ladkhadai, aur idhar bina batting, bowling fielding kiye, ladkhada diya dushman ko!! Bolti bandh! Jai Hind! Jai Bharat! Jai Maa Durga!! (We won! Well played ‘Abhishek Bachchan’. A slip of tongue there, and here a slip on the field, we shut down the opponent with our perfromance! Hail Maa Durga)



Several other celebrities, such as Sidharth Malhotra, Ali Fazal, Siddhant Chaturvedi, Ranveer Singh, Angad Bedi, Preity Zinta, Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor, among others, cheered for India. Take a look at their reactions:



The Ba***ds of Bollywood actor Raghav Juyal, who was in Dubai, told ANI, “Bohot acha laga aaj. Aur main apne bacchon ko bataunga ki main ye legendary match dekhne aaya tha. Bilkul kamaal ho gaya (It felt so good today. I will even tell my children that I came to watch this legendary match. Absolutely amazing).”

Superstar Amitabh Bachchan has created a legacy that cannot be summed up in words. Apart from his professional accomplishments, the Bachchan family is also regarded as one of India’s most sought-after and regal Bollywood families. Over the years, despite their impeccable reputation, once in a while, news and reports erupt of something that happened in the past involving the Bachchans that gets the fans curious. One such incident is that Amitabh Bachchan had once promised to build a college in Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s name. The construction had even begun on the property, but was reportedly abandoned later.

The movie star has captivated audiences with his acting skills for nearly sixty years. Amitabh Bachchan is still going strong in his 80s and making a lasting impression on the silver screen.

Amitabh Bachchan married Jaya Bachchan, a stunning Bengali woman, in 1973. Their two children, Shweta and Abhishek Bachchan, are their blessings. Abhishek married actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, while Shweta is married to businessman Nikhil Nanda. Jaya and Amitabh are the proud grandparents of Navya Naveli Nanda, Agastya Nanda, and Aaradhya Bachchan.

What Happened To Amitabh Bachchan’s Promised College?

When Amitabh Bachchan visited the village Daulatpur in Barabanki, Uttar Pradesh, in 2008, he laid the cornerstone for a degree college named after his newlywed daughter-in-law, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. He was joined by Abhishek Bachchan, Jaya Bachchan, and Aishwarya. Additionally, Mulayam Singh Yadav and Amar Singh, the leaders of the Samajwadi Party, were also present at the function at that time.

The college’s name was changed to Aishwarya Bachchan Girls’ Inter College for upper-secondary students in 2012. Big B sent a cheque for Rs. 5 lakhs to ABSS so that the building could be constructed. It has been reported that Amitabh Bachchan assigned the Nishtha Foundation, led by Jaya Bachchan, with the task of constructing the college. Reports on the internet claim that the Nishtha Foundation allegedly did not construct the college and later blamed Amitabh Bachchan’s Seva Sansthan. For over ten years, the villagers patiently awaited the construction of the college. But allegedly, no construction ever took place. While the reports went viral, there has been no written proof of what happened or any recount of the event by anyone in the latest.

After waiting unsuccessfully for the project to begin, the father of a village teacher donated more than 10,000 square meters of land for the college’s construction. Following Big B’s foundation’s decision to halt college work, the residents of Daulatpur raised the necessary funds. And built a college near the Amitabh Bachchan college plot. Why Big B gave up on the project is still unknown, and reports don’t delve into the specifics. So, the reason for this will remain unanswered.

When Sanjay Leela Bhansali Called Aishwarya Rai Bachchan The Last Of The Stars Like Hema Malini & Rekha, “There’s A Mystery And…”

Sanjay Leela Bhansali has worked with Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in three movies—Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam, Devdas, and Guzaarish. The filmmaker wrote three of the most memorable roles for the blue-eyed beauty. The characters Nandini, Paro, and Sofia are entirely different from each other. SLB not only makes Ash look breathtaking on the big screen but also brings out the best in her as an actress.

In the past, Sanjay Leela Bhansali has showered praise on Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in many interviews. From her beauty to her talent to her dedication, SLB always had good things to say about her. Even when there were differences, the duo maintained grace and respected their bond. In one interview, Bhansali said that he would like to make ‘Taj Mahal‘ for the Ae Dil Hai Mushkil actress. In the same interview, Bhansali said that Ash is the last of the stars.

Sanjay Leela Bhansali Once Called Aishwarya Rai Bachchan the ‘Last of the Stars’

In an interview in 2014, the Heeramandi creator said that, as Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, the actress has to maintain a certain kind of authority. However, the laughter and the chuckle of the Devdas actress are the same. Ash still holds hands and reaches out to her people. Sanjay Leela Bhansali said, “The girl is very much there, but of course, there is a garb. Every artist has to create a wall to safeguard herself. She knows where to draw the line. She walks in on the sets with a lot of joy and laughter.”

Sanjay Leela Bhansali further stated that Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is the last of the stars like Hema Malini, Waheeda Rehman, and Rekha. “She knows how to maintain the distinction between the person and the star. There’s a mystery and unpredictability about her. Like Hema Malini, Waheeda Rehman, and Rekha, she’s the last of the stars,” the Heeramandi creator told Filmfare in 2014.

It has been 14 years since SLB and Aishwarya worked together. The director is currently busy with Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and Vicky Kaushal’s ‘Love & War’. One can hope that soon the filmmaker comes up with something exciting and collaborates with the Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam actress again!

Abhishek Bachchan Cast in Prabhas’ Film Fauji?

by jummy84
written by jummy84

The shooting of Prabhas’ upcoming film Fauji (working title) has come to a grinding halt, recently! Partly because of Prabhas’ injury, and also due to the superstar prioritizing his forthcoming release The Raja Saab. However, the filmmakers have completed 25 per cent of the shooting. And in the meantime, rumours are rife that Abhishek Bachchan is in talks for a significant role in the war drama. While the reports doing the rounds may be outrageous it’s certainly catching the fans by surprise.

Reports of Abhishek Bachchan set to share screen with Prabhas in the upcoming Telugu film Fauji has certainly excited the fans

Reports of Jr Bachchan is set to share screen with Prabhas in his upcoming Telugu film Fauji (working title) has certainly excited the fans. A little birdie tells us that director Hanu Raghavapudi has considered approaching Abhishek Bachchan for a pivotal role in his upcoming film. Buzz is that the filmmaker had already initiated talks to rope in the Dhoom actor for the part. Apparently, director Hanu offered a special role to Abhishek Bachchan. While Prabhas shares a great bond with Amitabh Bachchan, chances are likely that Jr Bachchan may give his nod for the part. Sources close to the production house state that Abhishek seems to be positive about the opportunity.

“Efforts are on to rope in Abhishek Bachchan for a crucial cameo, but the production house hasn’t got anything positive yet from the actor. The filmmakers are hoping that Jr Bachchan’s inclusion will add a new dimension to the cast apart from boosting the film’s visibility in Hindi,” says a trade source. Will he, won’t he? Time will tell. Imanvi is playing the female lead opposite Prabhas in the film. On the other hand, Abhishek’s father Amitabh already featured in a couple of Telugu films — Syera Narasimha Reddy, starring Megastar Chiranjeevi, and in Prabhas-starrer Kalki 2898 AD Part 1. Perhaps, it’s Jr Bachchan’s turn now, if all goes well.

Smita Patil Broke Down After Shooting Aaj Rapat Jaayein

Smita Patil Shot ‘Aaj Rapat Jaayein’ & Cried Her Heart Out Till Amitabh Bachchan Stepped In To Coax Her

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.

Why Smita Patil Broke Down After Filming Namak Halal’s Iconic Song

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!

When Amitabh Bachchan Shelved An Entire Film After Shooting With Kalki 2898 AD Co-Star Kamal Haasan!

‘Amitabh Bachchan Was Insecure Of Kamal Haasan Taking All The Limelight’

Kalki 2898 AD made waves when it was released in 2024. The Nag Ashwin-directed sci-fi film mostly earned accolades for two characters who acted as the strong walls of this fort. No, not Prabhas and Deepika Padukone, but Amitabh Bachchan and Kamal Haasan.

While Big B plays Ashwatthama, the cursed warrior from Mahabharata, Ulaganayagan plays Yaskin, ruler of the complex in 2898 AD, the antagonist of the film. The two veterans, take the film to another level.

While the duo have earned immense praise for their performances in Kalki 2898 AD, there was once a time when Amitabh Bachchan reportedly felt threatened by Kamal Haasan’s acting prowess and popularity, so much so that he went to the extent of shelving a film where he felt Haasan would overshadow him!

What Happened Between Amitabh Bachchan & Kamal Haasan?

This tale goes back to the time of 80s when Big B was at his peak in Indian Cinema while Kamal Haasan was growing with every film he starred in. They came together for a film that was titled Khabardar, and was being directed by T Rama Rao. The film was a social drama between a terminally ill patient and a doctor, where Big B played the doctor. It also starred Jaya Prada and Sridevi in the lead.

However, after major portions of the film were shot, it was shelved abruptly. In an interview, Kamal Haasan in the late 90s revealed that the film was stopped midway, and he was given half remuneration as well. Much later, in another interview, director K Bhagyaraj revealed what happened to Khabardar and that it had something to do with Amitabh Bachchan.

In an interview quoted by TOI, the director revealed, “According to the script, Kamal Haasan has to die, and only then would it be apt for the story. But then Kamal Haasan will have all the names from the film, and Amitabh’s character will not stand in people’s minds much. This didn’t sit well with Amitabh, and he said he couldn’t do the film and didn’t want to spoil the name he had made over the years for one film. He then offered bulk dates to the producers of Khabardar as compensation.”

Khabardar never got made, but the two actors came together for a film titled Geraftar in 1985.

What Next For Amitabh Bachchan? 

Big B’s last big screen role was in Rajinikanth-led Vettaiyan, where he played Dr. Sathyadev Bramhadutt Pande. He is reported to appear next in a voiceover role, playing Jatayu, in the highly-anticipated Ramayana: Part 1. The superstar also continues hosting Kaun Banega Crorepati on Sony.

What Next For Kamal Haasan?

Haasan recently appeared in the Mani Ratnam-directed movie Thug Life, which unfortunately turned out to be a disappointment. According to TOI, he is reportedly teaming up with Veera Dheeran Sooran director SU Arun Kumar for his next project.
