Sonam Bajwa reveals she turned down Bollywood films over kissing scenes: ‘Is Punjab going to be OK with it’

Actor Sonam Bajwa has revealed that she once declined several Bollywood offers because they involved kissing scenes. She says this decision was driven by fear and self-doubt rather than personal conviction.

Punjabi actress Sonam Bajwa initially turned down Bollywood roles with kissing scenes, fearing how her Punjab audience would react.

Sonam opened up about her inhibitions

In a conversation with Film Companion, the Punjabi star opened up about how cultural expectations and the fear of public judgment held her back early in her career. Sonam said she worried about how audiences in Punjab, where she enjoys massive popularity, would perceive her performing intimate scenes on screen.

“I said no to a couple of things in Bollywood because I kept wondering, Is Punjab going to be okay with it? We have that mentality that families will be watching… I was very scared to do a kissing scene back then. I thought, ‘how are people going to respond to it? How will those who’ve made me who I am react? Will my family understand that it’s just for a film?’ I had all these questions in my mind.”

The Carry on Jatta 3 actor added that her hesitation stemmed from wanting to protect her image and stay true to her core audience. She admitted that she did not want to disappoint people who have supported her since the beginning, explaining that she had created certain boundaries for herself out of respect for her upbringing and cultural roots.

However, a heart-to-heart conversation with her parents completely changed her outlook. “A couple of years ago, I finally spoke to my mom and dad about it. They said, ‘Yes, if it’s for a film, it’s fine.’ I was so shocked. I kept thinking, Why didn’t I talk to them earlier? We make so many assumptions in our heads. I was shy to even bring it up, but they were like, Koi nahi, je film layi hai, koi chakkar nahi (It’s for a film, there’s no problem),” Sonam shared.

Sonam Bajwa’s acting journey

Sonam Bajwa began her career as a model before making her acting debut with the Punjabi film Best of Luck (2013). She rose to fame with Punjab 1984 (2014), earning praise for her natural screen presence and emotional depth. Over the years, she became one of Punjabi cinema’s most popular stars, delivering hits like Nikka Zaildar, Carry On Jatta 3, and Sardaar Ji. Alongside her regional success, Sonam ventured into Hindi cinema with films like Street Dancer 3D and Karam Yuddh, and appeared in Tamil and Telugu projects as well. She was last seen in Akshay Kumar’s Housefull 5 and is waiting for the release of Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat on 21 October.

‘Not every star kid gets all on a platter’: Pranutan Bahl reveals facing rejection for 2 years before debut | Interview

written by jummy84

As the granddaughter of Nutan, grandniece of Tanuja, and daughter of Mohnish Bahl, actor Pranutan Bahl carries an acting legacy that most would be envious of. The actor is aware of her privileges and says coming from a film family has allowed her to be better prepared, but lists some pitfalls of being the proverbial insider, too. In a candid conversation with Hindustan Times, Pranutan talks about her acting journey and legacy.

Pranutan Bahl talks about her acting journey and career.

On early education in a film family

Pranutan made her acting debut opposite Zaheer Iqbal in the 2019 film Notebook. Talking about that beginning, she says, “Because I was surrounded by actors, what became easier for me was getting to know that it’s a tough industry. You learn that you’re going to be laden with lots of spells of no work. I had those warnings given to me. A lot of people who don’t have parents from the industry don’t get all that, and for them, that’s a harder emotional journey.”

Battling rejections

But Pranutan is quick to dismiss the notion that all ‘star kids’ have it easy in the film industry. “Every star kid does not get everything on a platter, and I am living proof of it. It’s not like just because I’m an actor’s kid, I have got things on a platter or my family is funding films from the back end,” she says.

The actor reveals that even though her first film was released in 2019, she had begun giving auditions as early as 2016. She recalls, “I didn’t have to deal with the emotional upheaval of being an actor in that sense that everything was not a shock to me. But, of course, that emotional journey is different. You have to deal with a lot of rejection. I started my auditions in 2016, and it was in 2018 that I got my first movie. And even after that, I continued to give auditions. I gave an audition just three days back.”

Pranutan says that a lot of the hardships of her journey depended upon her choices, wherein she wanted to get everything on her own terms. “I walked into auditions and just told my first name because I didn’t want people to draw the connection,” she says. “So, nobody knew I was from a film family. My theory behind this was, I don’t want to get a call back from a casting director because they know I’m Nutan’s granddaughter or Mohnish Bahl’s daughter. At that stage in my career, I needed to know that the callback I am getting is for my talent.”

Pranutan’s acting career

After the release of Notebook, Pranutan starred in Helmet and Amar Prem Ki Prem Kahani. The actor will next be seen in the Hindi-English bilingual film Coco & Nut. Pranutan has finished filming two other films – a cop drama and a thriller. They are also awaiting release.

bobby deol reveals parents dharmendra and prakash kaur live together in their khandala farmhouse

Bobby Deol Reveals Dharmendra Lives With First Wife Prakash Kaur

by jummy84 October 11, 2025
written by jummy84

Bobby Deol recently revealed that Dharmendra continues to live with his first wife, Prakash Kaur, at their farmhouse in Khandala. Dharmendra moved to Mumbai from Punjab as a young, married man, dreaming of making it big in films. Prakash Kaur, his first wife, had to adjust from a simple, traditional background to the glitz and chaos of a superstar’s world.

Dharmendra Reveals Dharmendra Lives With His First Wife Prakash Kaur

Their marriage faced challenges when Dharmendra’s romance with actress Hema Malini began. It began on the set of Tum Haseen Main Jawan in 1970, became widely publicised. Despite family opposition, Dharmendra and Hema married in 1980, leading to a complex family dynamic. Dharmendra’s second marriage created a rift—Hema continued living separately in her bungalow, while Dharmendra remained with Prakash Kaur and their four children: Sunny, Bobby, Ajeeta, and Vijeta.

Recently, Bobby Deol clarified in an interview with ABP Live that his father and mother still live together at their Khandala farmhouse. When asked about Dharmendra’s sometimes melancholic social media posts, Bobby explained, “My mum is also there. They’re both at the farm in Khandala right now. Papa and Mummy are together; he just gets a little dramatic. They love being at the farmhouse. They’re also old now, and being there is relaxing for them. The weather is nice, and the food is good. Papa has created a paradise out there.”

He added that Dharmendra is an expressive person, often sharing his feelings openly. “Papa is very emotional. He’s very expressive. Sometimes he goes overboard, and I ask him why he wrote or said what he did, and he tells me he was just following his heart,” Bobby said.

Bobby Deol On Mother Prakash Kaur

Regarding his mother, Bobby described her as a pillar of strength. “You don’t hear much about my mother because people don’t usually ask about her,” he remarked. “She’s the strongest woman I’ve ever met. She came from a small village and had to adapt to city life as the wife of a superstar. It wasn’t easy.” He credited her resilience for much of his father’s success, saying, “I am what I am because of my mother’s support, just as my father is because of her.”

Dharmendra and Prakash Kaur married in 1954 when he was just 19. Over 70 years later, their bond remains quietly strong, rooted in shared history and endurance. Earlier this year, Bobby marked their 71st wedding anniversary with a rare photo of his parents together—a testament to a love that has endured despite many challenges.

Dharmendra’s personal life is one of Bollywood’s most layered stories—one that defies convention yet celebrates resilience, respect, and complex coexistence. From Prakash Kaur’s quiet strength to Hema Malini’s grace, and Bobby Deol’s heartfelt admiration, their journey reminds us that love, even with its imperfections, can be enduring and profound, even in the world of stardom.

Hallmark’s Yan-Kay Crystal Lowe Reveals Cancer Diagnosis

by jummy84 October 11, 2025
written by jummy84

Hallmark Channel star Yan-Kay Crystal Lowe revealed a “scary” major health diagnosis when she shared in an essay that she has stage 3 breast cancer.

In a Friday, October 10 essay for People, the Canadian actress, 44, announced the news and opened up about her cancer journey.

Lowe is best known for the Hallmark TV-movie series Signed, Sealed, Delivered as well as titles like Marry Me at Christmas (2017), Christmas at Holly Lodge (2017), and Flip That Romance (2019). She also notably appeared in Final Destination 3, Center Stage: Turn It Up, and The L Word, among other films.

“In February of 2025, while getting ready one morning, I noticed a large mass in my right breast,” she wrote. “In that moment, everything else fell away.”

Initially, Lowe said she thought she might have sprained a muscle while working. She notified her doctor, who ordered a mammogram and guided ultrasound, but “found nothing.” The mass on her breast was still there months later. However, it had changed location and size.

“I didn’t feel any pain, but my nipple became inverted, so I went back to the doctor,” the mom of two, who shares a 9-year-old daughter and a 3-year-old son with her husband, Miko Tomasevich, explained. “The mass measured 10 centimeters. This time, my doctor wasn’t so casual; I was rushed for a blind biopsy. “

Days later, her doctor told her she had invasive carcinoma in one of the ducts in her breast. “I still remember getting off the phone, curling up into a ball, and just bawling,” she recalled.

On October 10, Lowe also took to Instagram to announce her breast cancer diagnosis with a link to her essay.

“Some news to share. I truly hope this helps other people going through this journey right now,” she captioned her update. “It’s been tough but I know I’ll get through it. This is the beginning. Not the end. And if you want to follow my journey I welcome you along.”

Lowe’s Instagram followers flooded her with words of encouragement in the comments, with Tamera Mowry writing, “We love you Crystal 🙏🏽❤️.”

Pretty Little Liars star Janel Parrish shared, “You’re amazing 🤍🤍🤍.:

When Calls the Heart actor Viv Leacock declared, “All that strength, grace and wisdom!!! Cancer picked the wrong one to mess with!!! Love you lots, lil sis!!!”

Heartland actress Cindy Busby commented, “Sending you all my love and healing! ❤️‍🩹 💪🙏💫.”

Meanwhile, another When Calls the Heart star, Pascale Hutton, wrote, “Sending you so much love Crystal. ❤️.”

In her essay, Lowe also detailed her cancer treatment journey so far, which has included chemotherapy, a double mastectomy, radiation, and “eventually, implants.”

“When I called Annie Howell at Hallmark to tell her the news, I was terrified. What if I never work again? What if they forget me?” she wrote. “But nothing could be further from the truth. Annie and the entire Hallmark family embraced me fully, and told me that they had my back.”

Later, Lowe reflected on her cancer story, writing, “This journey has been scary, strange, and humbling. It has stripped me down in ways I never saw coming, physically, emotionally and spiritually. And yet… I promise to persevere. To turn poison into medicine. To grow. That’s what I’m learning every single day.”

AIIMS-trained gastroenterologist reveals 10 breakfast mistakes that cause bloating: ‘Skipping breakfast and then…’

Breakfast is a crucial meal for gut health, but mistakes can lead to bloating. Gastroenterologist Dr Sethi highlights 10 common breakfast errors.

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. What you eat first thing in the morning to break your fast after the last meal you ate the previous night, after waking up, sets the tone for the day you will have. However, even with this knowledge, we still make mistakes that can create issues for our gut health, such as bloating.

We all may be guilty of skipping breakfast on some days, but being a frequent offender could impact our overall health. (Freepik)

Dr Saurabh Sethi, a gastroenterologist trained at AIIMS, Harvard, and Stanford Universities, shared in an Instagram post on October 9, the 10 mistakes we unknowingly make during breakfast that may be causing bloating.

10 mistakes that cause bloating after having breakfast

Sharing the post, Dr Sethi wrote, “10 breakfast mistakes that cause bloating, according to a stomach doctor. Which of these mistakes do you think you might be making?” Let’s find out what these mistakes are:

  • Skipping breakfast and then overeating later
  • Starting the day with sugar cereals or pastries
  • Overloading on milk if you are lactose sensitive
  • Drinking coffee on an empty stomach
  • Eating too fast without chewing properly
  • Using artificial sweeteners in drinks or foods
  • Relying on ultra-processed protein bars or shakes
  • Having carbonated drinks first thing in the morning
  • Not including enough fibre-rich foods in your breakfast
  • Large high-fat fried breakfast options (greasy oils, processed meats)

Why is skipping breakfast harmful?

We all may be guilty of skipping breakfast on some days, but being a frequent offender could impact our overall health. In a 2022 interview with HT Lifestyle, Dr Ashit Bhagwati, honorary consultant in internal medicine and honorary academic director ICU at Bhatia Hospital, Mumbai, revealed skipping breakfast can be responsible for weight gain, slow metabolism, high BP, headache and dizziness, uncontrolled blood sugar levels, acidity, low energy, and low immunity.

EXCLUSIVE: ‘Bhairon Singh’ Anup Soni Reveals The Real Reason Why He Left Balika Vadhu

by jummy84 October 11, 2025
written by jummy84

Anup Soni, who played the role of Bhairon Singh in Balika Vadhu, became a household name after doing the show for almost 4 years. In an exclusive interview with Bollywood Bubble, the actor revealed why he decided to leave the popular TV show. Anup also mentioned how writing works in the TV industry. Scroll down to read what he said and watch the full interview.

Anup Soni On Why He Left Balika Vadhu

When asked if stretching any show impacts the viewership of the audience, Anup Soni shared, “Bilkul hoti hai na? Aur maza khatam ho jaata hai. Bhai, koi bhi writer ya koi bhi maker jab koi kahani likhta hai, to aapko lagta hai woh 2000 episodes dimaag mein rakh ke likhta hai? Woh 100–200 episodes likhega, 300 likh lega, 400 likh lega… ek saal bhar ka content to likh hi lega woh, plan kar lega. Ek track ke aage koi ek saal se zyada ka plan nahi karta. Ek saal ke baad to woh bhi yahi sochta hai — ‘Yaar, dekhte hain chalta hai ki nahi chalta’”.

He continued, “Toh Balika Vadhu mein bhi, aur Balika Vadhu jab maine chhoda tha, to maine sirf ek hi baat pe chhoda tha — ki mere kirdaar ke paas kuch karne ko hai hi nahi. Aur yeh baat maine teesre saal ke khatam hone ke baad hi bol di thi makers ko. Lekin maine chautha saal bhi kiya. Kyun? Kyunki unhone kaha, ‘Sir, thoda aur wait karte hain, haan karenge sir aapke character ke liye.’ Chautha saal nikal gaya. Maine kaha, ‘Dekho bhai, thoda bahut hua lekin mujhe lag raha hai ki hum neeche hi ja rahe hain. Mere paas aur kuch nahi bacha karne ko.’”

The actor concluded, “Main aapse yeh nahi keh raha hoon ki main aapse demand kar raha hoon, right? Aap mujhe thank you bol do, bye-bye bol do. Kyunki aap bhi kyu change karoge apni kahani meri wajah se? Mat karo apni kahani change. Lekin aap meri plight samajh jaoge, kyunki mere paas as an actor karne ko kuch nahi bacha hai. Ab finally jaake unhone bhi kaha ki ‘haan, theek hai.’ Lekin tab bhi unhone mere kirdaar ko maara nahi, kahani mein bas bahar bhej diya.”

About Balika Vadhu

Balika Vadhu is an Indian soap opera that aired on Colors TV between 21 July 2008 to 31 July 2016 with 2,245 episodes. The story is set in rural Rajasthan and revolves around the life of a child bride from childhood to womanhood.

Saif Ali Khan Reveals Mansoor Ali Khan's Surprising Marriage Advice
Bollywood

Saif Ali Khan Reveals Mansoor Ali Khan’s Surprising Marriage Advice

by jummy84 October 10, 2025
written by jummy84

The Pataudi Playbook for Peace

Saif Ali Khan opened up about his relationship with Kareena Kapoor Khan, admitting that like any couple, they have their share of arguments. He revealed the surprising, yet effective, piece of advice he received from his late father, cricketing legend Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi, on handling marital fights.

Recalling a conversation, Saif revealed he once asked his father about his strategy during arguments with his wife, Sharmila Tagore. Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi’s response was refreshingly simple:”He told me, ‘I just think about playing cricket or something during the argument. And I don’t say anything.’ He said, ‘Listen.’ Looks like you’re listening.”

Essentially, the advice boiled down to selective listening and staying silent—a humorous, if slightly provocative, method for de-escalation. The key takeaway seemed to be maintaining an outwardly calm demeanor while your partner vents.

Akshay Kumar’s Water-and-Fire Strategy

Akshay Kumar, a fellow veteran of a long-standing Bollywood marriage, wholeheartedly agreed with the underlying sentiment of keeping calm. He offered his own analogy for his dynamic with Twinkle Khanna, characterizing their relationship as a classic ‘fire and water’ pairing.

“She [Twinkle] is fire. I am water,” Akshay stated. He described Twinkle as someone who freely expresses her thoughts and feelings, while his role is to remain composed.

Akshay emphasized the crucial importance of being a good listener in a marriage: “She says whatever she wants to. I just keep myself calm and quiet. Just listen and try to understand what she’s trying to say.” He concluded with a universal piece of marital wisdom: “Do whatever you want, but listen. I think every husband should be a good listener.”

Saif and Kareena: A Timeline of Romance

The conversation naturally touched upon the actor’s personal lives. Saif Ali Khan’s romance with Kareena Kapoor blossomed on the sets of the 2007 film Tashan. Their relationship quickly became one of Bollywood’s most celebrated pairings, culminating in their marriage on October 16, 2012, in Mumbai. They are parents to two sons, Taimur Ali Khan (born in 2016) and Jehangir Ali Khan (born in 2021).

Prior to his marriage to Kareena, Saif was married to actor Amrita Singh from 1991 to 2004. They have two children, actors Sara Ali Khan and Ibrahim Ali Khan.

What’s Next for Saif and Akshay?

On the professional front, Saif Ali Khan was recently seen in the Netflix film Jewel Thief: The Heist Begins, which also starred Jaideep Ahlawat, Kunal Kapoor, and Nikita Dutta. Directed by Kookie Gulati and Robbie Grewal, the film premiered on April 25.

Fans will also be excited to hear that both Saif Ali Khan and Akshay Kumar will reunite on screen in director Priyadarshan’s upcoming film, Haiwaan, which also features Saiyami Kher.

Aubrey Plaza reveals how grandmother taught her to ‘move forward’ in life

9 October 2025

Aubrey Plaza learned how to “have fun and move forward” from her grandmother

Aubrey Plaza has revealed how she’s learned to move on from tough timesv

The 41-year-old star – whose estranged husband Jeff Baena took his own life in January this year aged 47 – has reflected on the advice she received from her grandma about dealing with tough times in life, and revealed the inspiration behind her new children’s book Luna And The Witch Throw A Halloween Party.

Without mentioning her late husband by name, Aubrey told the Today show: “She taught me from a very young age that life is a party and no matter what happens, we have to have fun and move forward, and so I think this book was inspired by that.

“I think on both sides of my family, I have a lot of witchy women that raised me, so this is an homage to all the women in my life.”

Aubrey – who had separate from Baena in September 2024 – previously admitted every day has been a “struggle” since her ex’s death.

His body was discovered at his home in Los Angeles, California by his dog walker.

Asked how she is doing by her Parks and Recreation co-star Amy Poehler on her Good Hang podcast, she said: “Right in this very, very present moment, I feel happy to be with you. Overall, I’m here and I’m functioning.

“I feel really grateful to be moving through the world. I think I’m okay, but it’s like a daily struggle, obviously.”

She compared her grief to The Gorge, insisting it felt like a “giant ocean of awfulness”.

She continued: “This is a really dumb analogy and it was kind of a joke at a certain point, but I actually mean it.

“Did you see that movie The Gorge? It’s like [an] alien movie or something with Miles Teller. In the movie, there’s like a cliff on one side and there’s a cliff on the other side, then there’s gorge in between and it’s filled with all these like monster people that are trying to get them.

“I swear when I watched it, I was like that feels like what my grief is like … or what grief could be like.

“At all times there’s like a giant ocean of awfulness, that’s like right there and I can see it. Sometimes I just want to dive into it, and just like be in it. Then sometimes I just look at it, and sometimes I try to get away from it. But, it’s always there.”

Jodie Whittaker reveals the iconic TV role she would have shaved her head for

by jummy84 October 9, 2025
written by jummy84

She said: “I would have loved to have been Eleven in Stranger Things. I would have loved to have been a kid with a shaved head!”

“When I saw the first series I thought, ‘Oh my God, to be Millie Bobby Brown right now, what a part,'” Whittaker continued. “The first season of that show was incredible. It homages everything I adore, and that part is incredible. If I could have been a child with a skinhead, that would be the role for me, but I don’t think I was in the running.”

Whittaker laughed as she said: “So, no animosity to Millie Bobby Brown,” before suggesting that “Maybe if I had tried a little bit of sellotape to make me look a bit younger?”

Stranger Things fans are currently waiting for the show’s fifth and final season, which will be released in three parts starting later this year, while Whittaker can currently be seen playing con-woman Sam in ITV’s Frauds, opposite Suranne Jones.

Explaining what drew her to Frauds, Whittaker previously said: “When I read it, I was just blown away by how different these characters felt [and] this particular relationship, and the world that we were in… but it still felt authentic. I felt like I knew these people.

“As extreme as some of the characters are – we’re all pretty heightened – but there’s some kind of familiarity with it, and within this specific friendship.”

She also made a return to her role as the Doctor on Doctor Who earlier this year, for a cameo appearance in Ncuti Gatwa’s final episode, and has said she “wouldn’t hesitate” to come back again in future.

“It’s just my absolute happiness, Doctor Who,” she told The Times. “If someone said to me in 20 years, ‘I’ve written an episode and the Thirteenth comes back,’ I just wouldn’t hesitate. It’s absolute joy.”

Frauds is available to stream on ITVX now.

Stranger Things seasons 1-4 are available on Netflix now. Sign up for Netflix from £5.99 a month. Netflix is also available on Sky Glass and Virgin Media Stream.

When asked to pick the most precious piece among all the beautiful jewelry she has worn or owns, Rashmika turned nostalgic and grew emotional.

“Yes, the earrings my mother gifted me when I was a little girl. I love them and adore them too much. A lot of memories are attached with it,” Rashmika tells us.

“For me, jewellery is what completes a look. It’s that finishing touch that can completely transform how you feel in an outfit. Even something as simple as a cuff or a ring can add so much character,” adds Rashmika, who has been announced as the new face of Swarovski in India.

In the interview, Rashmika also talks about whether she gets bothered about the constant spotlight on her personal life. She admits that there are days when she finds the attention overwhelming.

“Of course, there are days when it feels overwhelming, but I’ve learned to focus on what truly matters: my work and the love I receive from people. My family has been incredibly supportive throughout and I am eternally grateful for that,” she shares.
