Make it sinful

Food continues to be on Kareena Kapoor Khan's mind. She shared a screenshot of her conversation with producer buddy Rhea Kapoor who is in quarantine after testing positive for COVID-19.

Bebo's reply was an instant yes as it is "the best." The actor has a penchant for sinful desserts, which she can polish off within minutes.

Monkey love

On Friday, Bipasha Basu turned 43. The actor had a low-key celebration at home. Husband Karan Singh Grover's birthday message read, "My sweet monkey baby.
