Soha Ali Khan shares most adorable moments of Taimur on his birthday

Taimur Ali Khan, B-town's favourite kid and the cute little son of Kareena Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan is celebrating his birthday on Friday. On the special day, Taimur's aunt, Soha Ali Khan, shared the most adorable birthday wish for him. Soha took to her Instagram to share a cute video of Taimur and her daughter Inaaya. The video begins with the cousins jumping on the bed, followed by scenes of them swimming, sharing laughs over pizza, and lighting a diya together. One particularly cute moment shows Taimur striking a cute pose with his tongue out and holding a sketch, while Inaaya smiles at him. Along with the video, the 'Rang De Basanti' actress added a caption that read, "From jumping on the bed to racing freestyle we have come a long way - here's to a lifetime of family, food and prezzies !! Happy Birthday Tim bhai."           View this post on Instagram                       A post shared by Soha (@sakpataudi) Meanwhile, several clips of Taimur from his school's annual day function have been doing the rounds on the internet. In one of the clips, Kareena can be seen beaming with joy and recording Taimur's performance on her phone. In September, during a press interaction, the 'Jab We Met' actor got candid about her personal and professional lives, revealing a cute anecdote involving her kids. When asked if her son Taimur Ali Khan knows about the film festival named after her, the actress gave an interesting response. She said, "Right now they (Taimur and Jeh) are too young to know these things. He has an idea because of the paparazzi chasing him. I think that is why he only knows. But he keeps saying, 'Why are they chasing? Am I famous?' I said, 'No you are not famous, I am famous. You are nobody, you haven't done anything.' He's like, 'Maybe one day I will do it.' But right now in his mind, it is not films. It is only football. I hope he will watch some of my films, I'm sure someday the minute I can take him away from football." Kareena tied the knot with Saif Ali Khan in 2016. The two have worked together in LOC Kargil (2003) and Omkara (2006), but it was on the sets of the 2008 film Tashan that they fell in love with each other. Later on October 16, 2012, they solemnized their relationship. In 2016, the two became parents to son Taimur and in February 2021, they welcomed Jeh. Saif was married to Amrita Singh before Kareena and they have two children together, Sara Ali Khan and Ibrahim Ali Khan. This story has been sourced from a third party syndicated feed, agencies.

Shah Rukh Khan

Find out which place Shah Rukh Khan dreamed of visiting with his father

Actor Shah Rukh Khan once shared that he never visited Kashmir because his late father had asked him not to go there without him. An old video of SRK making this heartfelt confession has resurfaced online. In an earlier appearance on Amitabh Bachchan’s game show Kaun Banega Crorepati, Khan revealed the reason he had never visited Kashmir. In the video, the actor could be heard saying, “My father’s mother was Kashmiri. My father told me that in life, make sure you visit Istanbul, Rome, and Kashmir at least once, whether I’m here or not. However, you can visit the other two without me, but don’t go to Kashmir without me.” Shah Rukh added, “So he died very early. I have been all over the world lekin main Kashmir kabhi nahi gaya. Bohot saare mauke bhi mile, doston ne bohot bulaya, ghar wale chutti pe bhi gaye, par main Kashmir kabhi nahi gaya. Kyunki mere father ne kaha tha ki Kashmir mere bina mat dekhna, Kashmir main dikhaaunga,” (I had many opportunities to visit Kashmir—my friends invited me, and even my family went on a holiday there. However, I never went because my father told me not to go without him, as he wanted to take me himself.”) SRK’s father, Mir Taj Mohammed Khan, passed away from cancer when he was just a teenager, and his mother, Lateef Fatima Khan, died a decade later, when he was only 24. Shah Rukh Khan made his first-ever visit to Kashmir in 2012, during the shoot of his film “Jab Tak Hai Jaan.” Before landing in Kashmir, Khan had tweeted, “Dark clouds...wet roads...too early for even life to feel alive...but I am on way to make movies. A cigarette and coffee as co travellers.” Reports suggest that Shah Rukh Khan also filmed scenes for his movie “Dunki” in Kashmir.

(From left) Sharmila Tagore and Mohan Agashe in Outhouse

Sharmila Tagore: Films are going through a rough time

Gulmohar (2023) reminded us how much we had missed seeing Sharmila Tagore on screen. Over a year later, the veteran actor has faced the camera again for Outhouse, teaming up with her Mississippi Masala (1991) co-star Dr Mohan Agashe. In Sunil Sukthankar’s directorial venture, Tagore plays a successful illustrator, who develops an unlikely friendship with an elderly neighbour while babysitting her grandson over a weekend. It was the director’s sensitive gaze towards the plight of senior citizens that drew her to Outhouse. “The film brings forth the different needs of old age, and how the intergenerational gaps can be filled by communicating, with some humour and understanding,” starts Tagore. The film, which hit the screens yesterday, marks Agashe’s last collaboration with writer Sumitra Bhave, who passed away in 2021. Having worked together in notable Marathi films, including Kaasav (2017) and Dithee (2019), the senior actor wanted Bhave to explore how the lives of elderly people are impacted by the breakdown of traditional family dynamics and a change in the caregiving system. But Agashe had a caveat—it should not be a tear-jerker. Remembering Bhave, he says, “After I read the script, Sumitra asked me, ‘Do you think Sharmila would act in this?’ I told Sumitra that I would ask her. Fortunately, Sharmila liked the script.”  At a time of big-scale entertainers, the slice-of-life film comes as a fresh breath of air. Tagore believes it is a much-needed departure from the actioners that are currently dominating the box office. “A lot of violent films have done well. I don’t mind violent films. If it has a theme or there is a reason for that violence, I’m open to seeing it. I can’t stomach films that are violent for the sake of violence. At the moment, films are going through a rough time. The actors are charging so much money. From what I hear, bigger films like Kalki 2898 AD and Brahmāstra: Part One—Shiva [2022] attract the audience. But personally, I like smaller movies like Laapataa Ladies,” she smiles.  Agashe echoes her sentiment, adding that “the world of movies is becoming a bit toxic”. “There is a lot of violence and sex in today’s films. When it hits a certain threshold of toxicity, it needs a good detox. I preferred this film because there is no sex, violence, killings or religious propaganda. It’s about the pure friendship between a child and a puppy, and the lives of two elderly singles.”

Vikas Khanna

Have you heard? Anne Hathaway visits Chef Vikas Khanna's restaurant

A moment that’s special Chef Vikas Khanna—who has previously served as the judge of an Indian cooking reality television show—has hosted numerous celebrities at his New York restaurant, Bungalow, and his most recent visitor may easily be among the most notable too. Khanna shared on Instagram why Hollywood star Anne Hathaway’s visit held immense significance. “I still remember the day I had to delete all the files of [Hathaway’s film] The Devil Wears Prada, and Sex and the City from my computer. I had saved these files to watch on a loop on hospital beds with my sister. I can’t even recall how many times Radha, Saman Mahmood, and I watched them together. She adored Anne Hathaway and knew all the dialogues by heart. She was happiest reciting every line from DWP. Somehow, I memorised them too. This was her painkiller,” he wrote. Vikas’s sister, Radhika Khanna, passed away in 2022 after battling lupus for many years. “Thank you, Anne, for taking away her pain when we repeated, ‘Everybody wants to be us,’ and laughed. I photoshopped my Radha into the photo, right next to her hero. I know she was there.” On the go Even as she continues to be in the news for her social media tiff with Mukesh Khanna, Sonakshi Sinha is seemingly unperturbed as she travels the world with her husband, Zaheer Iqbal. After travelling across Singapore, the Philippines, and Italy, the duo is holidaying in Australia. On social media, Sinha gave a peek of their “epic dive day”. Her surreal vacation is surely leaving her fans in awe. Sharing the breathtaking pictures online, she wrote, “Epic dive day at the Great Barrier Reef! Thank you to our dive guide, who showed us the best spots.”  Sharing good vibes Shreyas Talpade extended his good wishes to actor-filmmaker Kangana Ranaut after her film, Emergency, was cleared for release by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). The political drama, written, directed, and co-produced by Ranaut, was earlier scheduled to be released on September 6 but missed the date as it failed to get a clearance from the CBFC. It was also embroiled in controversy after Sikh organisations said it misrepresented the community. “It’s a good film, made on a good subject. Kangana has made the film with a lot of passion, and the movie should come out,” Talpade said in an interview. Ranaut features as former prime minister Indira Gandhi in the movie that delves into the Emergency that was imposed from 1975 to 1977. Talpade plays the role of the former prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee in the film, which will now release in theatres on January 17. Take me back in time Actor Sheeba Chaddha recently opened up about her childhood connection to the script of Bandish Bandits. “Growing up in Delhi, I was always drawn to the arts, especially during winters, when culture really came alive with incredible musicians and dancers. I even learned Odissi dance for a while. My love for classical music shaped how I hear music. [Working on] Bandish Bandits felt both familiar and right,” she said.

Yo Yo Honey Singh: Famous

Yo Yo Honey Singh: Famous review- Hear out Hirdesh, yo!

Yo Yo Honey Singh: FamousOn: NetflixGenre: DocumentaryDir: Mozez SinghRating: 3/5 Nothing is usual about hip-hop star Hirdesh Singh. Starting with his stage name, Yo Yo Honey Singh, that I don’t know where he picked up from.  Particularly the two Yos. Perhaps inspired by the double honorific, Sri Sri (Ravi Shankar); who knows? What we also didn’t know, for sure—until the latest Netflix documentary—is how this music sensation fell through the cracks, altogether disappearing from the scene, while at the peak of his career, as India’s richest rapper, back in 2014.  That’s the point of Yo Yo Honey Singh: Famous, piloted by Oscar-winning doc-producer, Guneet Monga. That point also makes one wonder about other things that this film could’ve been.  To begin with, it’s not a hagiographical biopic. The only other doc on a Punjabi hip-hop star that I’ve watched, AP Dhillon: First of a Kind (Prime Video), was one such—to the extent that they ought to have tagged ‘paid partnership’ to the title, for fair disclosure.  And just as most meetings are actually emails, and all emails should be WhatsApp texts—there is a tendency to pass off straightforward interview/s as documentaries! Notably, the last Netflix, desi pop-culture flick, Modern Masters: SS Rajamouli.  The camera in Famous seldom zooms out for a wider social perspective. Whether that be exploring the larger, lively hip-hop scene that curiously birthed in West Delhi in the 2000s (may I recommend you Google a piece from Caravan magazine on that).  Honey is from Karampura neighbourhood in the same area. He shows you around, going, “Ma city, ma hood…” Awrightie, yo! The windowless home he grew up in, that you watch in the film, modelled on a train compartment, is modest alright. In contrast to his African-American bling, fast-car, designer-label, derivative image. But it is still middle-class. Hardly rags, even for the riches that followed.  The film’s commentary is chiefly restricted to two voices, that’s it.  One’s a music critic, Bhanuj Kappal, who I enjoyed listening to. Wherein he frames Honey’s early career through a series of experiments, with an eye on audiences—“Bhagat Singh thing, hip-hop, Eminem-style gangster rap, party rap…”  Until he arrived at the most acceptable, new sound, with folk into the mix. Hence, Honey’s debut studio album, International Villager, that made him, overnight, a national star. Kappal calls out the misogyny in Honey’s songs. He firstly got accused for a track ‘Mein hoon balatkaari’ that he evidently never sang.  There’s another track on female anatomy, attributed to Honey’s band/platform, Mafia Mundeer, that he says, never released. Honey has his say on the matter. I remember defending him before news anchor Arnab Goswami in 2012, after the Nirbhaya incident, when mainstream media were looking for convenient villains to nail for a gruesome crime by deranged maniacs.  The issue with burdening entertainment with societal ills, besides being left with only bores on this planet—you will find an easy solution, you still won’t know the problem. Not that this debate ever ends.  I recently found myself on a TV station arguing against Telangana government banning songs to do with alcohol, from Honey’s former colleague Diljit Dosanjh’s concert-playlist.  I mean, seriously? Forget Harivanshrai Bachchan’s Madhushala, what about gazillion ghazals, in praise of booze—where do you start from, let alone end up with.  The only other commentator in Famous is actor Salman Khan. Not a surprise.  Maybe the empathy comes from personal experience, he has a thing for getting behind fallen stars—TV host Kapil Sharma, when he was struggling with alcohol; or actor Sooraj Pancholi, embroiled in the Jiah Khan suicide-abetment case.  There’s a fine moment in the film, when Honey gets sent a scratch from Salman. The track (Twinkle twinkle little star) is ready. Salman asks Honey to add rap portions to it. He stars in the song sequence, with Salman, in the film, Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan (2023). It’s Honey’s Bollywood onscreen comeback of sorts.  The way Honey and his homies insert a chorus to that number is a delight to savour. It’s these in-studio BTS footage that make music documentaries so alluring for the outsider’s eye. If only there were more such, even if from archives. Now that we’ve delved enough into what Famous, competently directed by Mozez Singh (Zubaan), could have also been, let’s shine a sincere light on what the film is.  It is tight, and to the point. It sharply zeroes in on perils of extreme fame.  I don’t think any young human is capable of indifference, when God-like status is thrust upon them, suddenly, by a fawning public, while they’re basically talented plus lucky musicians or sportspersons, at best. Surely that takes a needless toll. That said, and this is unrelated to fame, per se—what the documentary draws you in with are aspects of mental health. Honey fell off the map, because he got diagnosed with bi-polar disorder, with psychotic symptoms.  He stayed in for over three years. Doing nothing, after dominating India’s soundscape, where he could do nothing wrong.  It’s only while watching Famous, I realised, that golden phase was merely between 2012-2014. Badshah perhaps became the new Honey.  Diljit is the reigning Badshah. Karan Aujla is probably the new kid on the block. Music, in the age of 15-second Insta Reels, seems the shortest-lived game, ever. Honey looks lost; says he wants to return with Dr Dre, at some point. Who knows? *YUCK  **WHATEVER  ***GOOD  ****SUPER  *****AWESOME

Diljit Dosanjh (right) regales a fan on stage during the concert

Diljit Dosanjh's Patiala peg gets the loudest cheer in Mumbai

Fifteen minutes into his Mumbai concert, Punjabi pop icon Diljit Dosanjh said, “There is nothing greater for any artiste than the love of their fans.” Probably this love is driving his Dil-Luminati Tour even as he faces multitudes of advisories before each concert, starting from Hyderabad to even the Maximum City. Diljit Dosanjh Before his December 19 concert at the Mahalaxmi Race Course, the Maharashtra government issued an advisory, restricting him from performing songs that promoted alcohol, drugs and violence. Dosanjh, in his defiant style, addressed the elephant in the metaphorical room. “I’ve just returned from Kashmir. Our fauji brothers are taking such great care of everyone. It’s right when they say Kashmir is the jannat on earth. When I returned, I was wondering [about] the next advisory. You don’t worry about it; the advisory is for me. I’ll make sure you have double the fun,” he promised his cheering fans, whose enthusiasm couldn’t be dampened by the winter smog, or the long walk they had to undertake from the race course’s gate.      Dosanjh, easily one of India’s most popular exports to the West today, referred to the Sagar Manthan to hit back at the negativity that has been brought upon his India concerts. He said, “The poison was taken by Shiv. But Shiv did not consume the poison; he held it in his throat. So, I have learnt that life and the world might throw poison at you, but you should never take it in you. Don’t let your work suffer.” Diljit Dosanjh Starting his gig at 8 pm, the musician performed his biggest chartbusters, Lover, Naina, and even the contentious Patiala peg by tweaking its lyrics. He cheekily said, “This is the song they have the maximum issues with. How can I not perform this one?” Clearly, he isn’t designed to toe the line. The establishment might need to get used to it, because the crowds cheered the loudest for that one. The advisory barred him from bringing children on stage. So, Dosanjh had ladders erected around the stage, and towards the end of the concert, went down to pose for selfies with the fans. The evening’s highlight was his performance of Shiv Kumar Batalvi’s Ikk kudi. The stage turned blue and bubbles filled the sky as the singer, with his rendition, transported the crowd to another realm.  Amidst bhangra and beers —thankfully, the liquor license in Mumbai wasn’t cancelled, unlike in a few other cities—the concert was winsome! But the bigger win is that a desi musician has charted his way to become one of the biggest in the world today. That deserves the loudest cheer. Next time, to facilitate the cheering that left my throat parched, may we request the organisers to serve water by the bottle. To pay R50 per glass is a bit steep!

Actor Govinda turned 61 today. The actor is well-known for his comic timing and his dance moves. The ' Coolie No 1' actor had several hit songs from the 90s to his credit where his stellar dance was also at display. It's not just his dance moves but the expressions accompanying them made one jump from the seat and groove with him. On his birthday, we look at some of best dance songs that are evergreen and can still be the heart of any dance party. Govinda's top songs What is mobile number (Haseena Maan Jaayegi)  Sung by Alka Yagnik and Sonu Nigam, this is one peppy dance number which is also a banter between a man and a woman as the former tries to woo the latter. Govinda and Karisma's pairing was an iconic one as both the stars were known for their exemplary dancing skills  UP Wala Thumka (Hero No. 1) This is yet another song featuring Karisma and Govinda and voiced by Sonu Nigam. Govinda's ability to infuse humour with his fiance is the stand-out element f the song. Performances like these prove that there is none like chi-chi.  Soni De Nakhre  (Partner)  Who can ever forget Govinda's floor wiggle at the beginning of the song which he does to impress Katrina Kaif's character While it leaves Salman Khan's character in shock, it also amuses the audience and Katrina. The song gets better with each minute as Govinda and Salman dance together.  Meri Pant bhi Sexy (Dulaara)  This a song that generations to come will remember and yet another from Govinda-Karisma pairing. Govinda brings his 90s charm to this contemporary song. Govinda and Alka Yagnik lent their voice to the song.  Main toh raste se jaa rhaa tha (Coolie No.1)  Narrating a story in song and dance form is the most creative and effective format. Who can ever forget Govinda's bhel puri eating journey and all thanks to this song. This joyful number was sung by Alka Yagnik and Kumar Sanu with Karisma Kapoor opposite Govinda.  Kisi Disco mein jaaye (Bade Miyan Chote Miyan)  Sung by Udit Narayan and Alka Yagnik, the song is picturized on Govinda and Raveena Tandon. This song has it all, vibrant costumes, majestic sets, and the charm of Govind and Raveena.  Husnn Hai Suhaana (Coolie No. 1)  This song shows the brilliant chemistry between Govinda and Karisma Kapoor who play characters from very different families. However, they fall in love and their bond blossoms when they run away from their respective families. The song is a whirlwind of emotions, synchronized dance moves and an absolute visual treat.

Govinda: Nobody has approached me for Bhagam Bhag 2

Fans of Bhagam Bhag (2006) cheered hard when Shemaroo Entertainment and producer Sarita Ashwin Varde announced the sequel to the comedy, last month. Reports suggested that the original trio—Akshay Kumar, Govinda and Paresh Rawal—would reprise their roles in the second instalment. But now, there is a plot twist. Govinda says he hasn’t even been offered the laugh riot. “Nobody has approached me for Bhagam Bhag 2, or sat down for a discussion. There are stories of me doing not just Bhagam Bhag 2, but many other sequels, including Partner,” says the actor, amused by the developments.   Many filmmakers are jumping on the bandwagon of franchise films. The sequel to Priyadarshan’s Bhagam Bhag, which is expected to roll next year, comes 18 years after the original’s release. Quiz Govinda whether he would like to be a part of it, and he says his decision will depend on various factors. “I know sequels are popular today, but one should not go by beliefs, suggestions and popularity. If I do a project, I must discuss it in its entirety—from the remuneration to the script, my character and the director,” he points out. (From left) Akshay Kumar, Paresh Rawal and Govinda in Bhagam Bhag Regardless of whether he stars in Bhagam Bhag 2 or not, the actor is making his way back to the movies. On the latest episode of The Great Indian Kapil Show, Govinda announced that he has signed three new films, Bayen Haath Ka Khel, Pinky Darling, and Len Den: It’s All About Business. After his sporadic appearances on screen over the past decade, it will be refreshing to see the senior actor—easily one of the best in Hindi cinema when it comes to comedy—in front of the camera again. His excitement is palpable as he says, “We’ve selected the best scripts. After Aa Gaya Hero [2019], we hadn’t announced more films, but now the time is right.” The senior actor hit headlines this October, when he sustained injuries on his leg after his gun accidentally went off. Asked if he has recovered completely, he says, “It was important for me to come on Kapil’s show and perform because people were saying a lot of things. [They were wondering] whether I can dance like I used to earlier. So, I appeared on the show and spoke about the accident hasi mazaak mein. [On October 1], I was to catch a morning flight to Kolkata for a special darshan to Dakshina Maha Kali. The [revolver] case was made of plastic, and the gun slipped from the case and accidentally fired on my knee. Now that I’m better, I’ll visit all the places where I had taken mannat.”
