They gave her the time and space to get up and fix herself before clicking her pictures. The incident happened during the New York premiere of her film 'Love Again'. In an interview with ABC's The View, Priyanka said, "I haven’t talked about this because I try and look for this thing every day on social media. But, I was wearing really high heels in this dress for it to look as tall as it did and you know, the red carpet is full of press people, everyone is clicking pictures, fans. And, I fell on the carpet, on my shoes, I fell down all the way to my butt." She also added, "I have never seen this happen in my 23-year career, everyone put their cameras down and they said, ‘Don’t worry about it Pri, take your time’. I was mortified for a second, but when I saw people do that, they said, ‘You’re always so nice, we got this’, till I stood up. And till now, there is no clip of me falling. How nice! I had help from five people. My husband swooped in."

He shared a picture in which Salim Khan is seen with his son Salman and the writer’s first bike, the Triumph Tiger 100, probably bought in 1956. This was a special moment for Salman as he shared feelings of pride, love, and nostalgia when he saw his father’s first bike. Trailer launch of 'Angry Young Men' At the trailer launch of Prime Video’s web series 'Angry Young Men' about the legendary writer duo Salim and Javed, Salman was present at the launch and shared a priceless moment with his dad. He also called his dad, "DadLee Man-My Father God" in a post. Interestingly, Salman kept standing during the whole event because he believed that it was disrespectful to sit when his father was around. The actor further said that he has learned to stand when his father is in the room. Salim Khan is GenZ at heart Salman’s fitness 'role model' While fans look up to the 'Dabangg' actor because of his fit and muscular body, the actor, in a 2019 interview, shared that his inspiration for aging gracefully is his father. He further spoke about his father’s very disciplined approach to his fitness routine, which includes walking three rounds of Bandra Bandstand, doing Pilates, Yoga, and sometimes weight training too. Coolest Dad Salman Khan has also mentioned that his father is full of youthful spirit, connects with people of all ages, and seamlessly blends with youngsters. He mentioned that Salim Khan matches the wavelength of his nephews and converses with them as if he is one of them. Father’s Day In 2020, when the actor was away from his father at his Panvel farmhouse, he wished him with a video of memories collected over time. The actor poured his heart out in the caption. He captioned the post, "Happy Father’s Day, the best gift your father would want from you is for you to live happily. Kids khush, fathers khush...." Dad’s scolding In the 2019 episode, Salman shared an anecdote about when he once wore his dad’s slippers by mistake and had stepped out. But, when he returned home, he got an earful from his dad. Professional-personal difference Salman also shared that his father has never trusted his scripts, which is why he didn’t like sharing them with him. He would just say, 'pitegi' (will be a flop).

Farhan Akhtar to film final schedule of 120 Bahadur next week

The wait for Farhan Akhtar’s next film has been a long one. The filmmaker-actor’s highly anticipated film 120 Bahadur is nearing completion as the team prepares to wrap up the final leg of the shoot. After an elaborate schedule in Ladakh, the cast and crew will embark on a 15-day schedule, starting next week, to bring the film to its final stages. A still from 120 Bahadur Set against the backdrop of the Indo-China War of 1962, 120 Bahadur is inspired by the heroic tale of 120 Indian soldiers, who courageously defended their post against an army of 5,000 Chinese troops. Known for his meticulous approach to filmmaking, Akhtar and director Razzy Ghai have left no stone unturned in recreating the historic event with authenticity. A source close to the production revealed, “The Ladakh schedule was physically and emotionally taxing for everyone, but the landscapes brought the story alive. Farhan has been hands-on, ensuring every detail reflects the bravery and sacrifices of these soldiers. The more dialogue-heavy portions of the film will be shot in Mumbai, which will be a quick schedule. The logistics are being figured out, but it will start next week and be wrapped before mid-December.” The film is expected to release in mid-2025, with an ensemble cast including real-life army veterans in pivotal roles.

I’m delighted to join the Viksit Bharat Youth Leaders Dialogue and invite everyone to share their ideas to make India the best country in the world”. She further mentioned, “We are a young country, we have huge ambitions and aspirations but to achieve our goals, we need to take part in strengthening our motherland. We need to take active part in engaging with our leaders and sharing our ideas. Everyone must contribute and every voice is important”.

Celina Jaitly to celebrate her birthday with family at THIS picturesque location

Actress Celina Jaitly is celebrating her birthday on Sunday. The actress, who is known for films like 'No Entry', 'Golmaal Returns' and others, has shared her plans for her birthday. The actress also said that over the years the meaning of birthday celebrations has changed for her. Though the actress was never in favour of ostentatious birthday celebrations, she now likes to travel and explore different places on her birthday. Talking about her birthday plans, the actress told IANS, "This year, the plan is for a birthday celebration surrounded by the breathtaking beauty of the Austrian Alps. Just the thought of spending the day with my family, taking in the crisp mountain air, and marvelling at the snow-capped peaks would be most magical." She continued, "I will be starting the day with a cosy breakfast, then explore the charming alpine villages together. It's the simple moments, warm laughter, scenic views, and the company of loved ones, that make birthdays truly special." The actress shared that earlier birthdays used to be very ostentatious for her even, though she has never been drawn to ostentatious birthday celebrations.  She shared that the glitz and glamour feel empty compared to the warmth of being surrounded by family. She said, "Simple moments with loved ones, heartfelt laughter, and genuine connection mean far more to me than any grand display. To me, true celebration is about love, not a luxury. I mostly now like to travel with my family on my birthdays. They are all I want." "There is nothing happier than sitting against the backdrop of the pyramids in Egypt or the Burj Khalifa in Dubai or the Vineyards of Florence with your children who have unconditional goodwill of love in their eyes, as for my fans they send me enough love and positivity via social media to feel immensely blessed," she added.

Anupam Kher to direct 'The Return' as Australia-India co-production

Veteran actor Anupam Kher, who is in Goa for the 55th International Film Festival of India (IFFI), has revealed plans to direct a film titled 'The Return,' which will be a co-production between Australia and India. Speaking to ANI, Kher opened up about the project, which will be his second directorial venture after 'Tanvi The Great'.  On being asked about collaborating on a film in Australia, Kher said, "Yes, I have never sat idle. When I don't have work, I write stories or think about books. About 10-12 years ago, I got an idea for an English film called 'The Return'. I wrote the story, and it revolves around a main character who goes to a foreign country." As Australia is in focus this year at IFFI, Kher said he pitched the idea to Australian representatives attending the festival.  "I shared the story with some people from Australia. We are now working on the paperwork and permissions to make the film a reality," he added. Kher confirmed that The Return would follow the release of 'Tanvi The Great', which is already complete and will soon be out for audiences. Anupam Kher, who has acted in over 540 films and 100 plays during his 35-year career, has worked with well-known directors like Ang Lee, David O. Russell, and Woody Allen. His international projects include Silver Linings Playbook, Hotel Mumbai, and the series New Amsterdam. He has been honored with the Padma Bhushan, India's third-highest civilian award, and is a member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. The actor also opened up about the role of failure in shaping his success. "If you look at my life, it is a sum total of my failures. I have put a post today about this lecture which is going on in my master class in the evening. It's written there, 'I am the Success Story of My Failures'," the actor said before his masterclass.  "I came from a poor family. I was the weakest student in my studies, although I loved playing games. Despite this, after 40 years, I have done 542 films and received many awards. It's my attitude towards failure that has brought me here," the actor added. Kher is currently receiving praise for his role in 'Vijay 69'.'Vijay 69' tells the heartwarming story of a 69-year-old man named Vijay who defies societal expectations by training for a triathlon.  Directed by Akshay Roy, the YRF Entertainment film, was released on Netflix on November 8. Meanwhile, IFFI 2024, which began on November 20, is showcasing over 180 international films from 81 countries, including 16 world premieres, 3 international premieres, 43 Asian premieres, and 109 Indian premieres.  Notably, the organisers have also included a tribute programme to honour the 100th birth anniversaries of four Indian cinema legends: actor-filmmaker Raj Kapoor, director Tapan Sinha, Telugu cinema star Akkineni Nageswara Rao (ANR), and singer Mohammed Rafi, as per Variety.

Pyre director Vinod Kapri: ‘People had tears in their eyes’

When journalist-turned-director Vinod Kapri had met farmer Padam Singh and his on-screen wife Heera Devi during his trip to Uttarakhand in 2017, he hadn’t quite imagined that he could tell a story of love and loneliness through their performances. But today, Singh, 80, and Devi, 70, are the unusual leads of the director’s next, Pyre. Revolving around an elderly couple’s challenging life in the remote mountains of Uttarakhand, Pyre premièred at the Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival on November 19.   “My team and I were nervous when we attended the film festival because the film is about a remote village in Uttarakhand and stars non-actors. But the moment the last title credit rolled, the response was incredible. People had tears in their eyes; some kept talking to us and others wanted to have a conversation with Amma and Bubu [Singh and Devi],” says the proud director.   Pyre is inspired by the true story of an elderly duo in Munsiyari village, where they are among the few living in the deserted village as many inhabitants have migrated. It’s their loneliness that caught Kapri’s attention. “Bubu told me that they are awaiting death as there are only a few people left in the village. Bubu’s wish was to die before his wife [not Devi] did because he couldn’t live without her; his wife had the same wish. I felt it was beautiful how each was wanting to die before the other. While they await the pyre, the love between them is the crux of the story,” says the director, who previously helmed Pihu (2016) and 1232 Kms (2021).Quiz Kapri why he chose to cast the senior actors instead of stars, and he reasons, “To get through established actors and get them to do my kind of film is difficult. I travelled to many Uttarakhand villages looking for old, unknown people. What actors Padam Singh and Heera Devi have done is incredible.”
