Alia’s next big move

Alia Bhatt, who was last seen in Brahmastra and Darlings, has been riding high on the success of her films. Bhatt, who will soon be seen making her Hollywood debut with Heart of Stone, will also be making her debut at one of the biggest fashion events of the year, the Met Gala. This year’s theme for the event is Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty, which will honour the artistic brilliance of the late designer, and trace his evolution. Bhatt will reportedly be wearing a Prabal Gurung outfit for the red carpet. Previously, Priyanka Chopra Jonas had been part of the Met Gala, which forms a crucial part of her romantic journey with now-husband Nick Jonas, given that it was at the gala in 2017 that they first appeared together. 

Return ticket

Hema Malini recently travelled via the Mumbai metro, leaving passers-by amused. The actor took to Twitter to share her experience, and a bunch of pictures from her travels. “I must share my unique, and wonderful experience. I drove for two hours to reach Dahisar by car, [which was] so tiring. In the evening, I decided to try the metro, and, oh my God, what a joy it was! We endured tough times during the construction, but it was worth it! Clean, and fast. [I] was in Juhu in 30 minutes.” 

Daddy’s girl

Suhana Khan earned appreciation from daddy Shah Rukh for her appearance at an event of a brand that she endorses. SRK shared a video of his daughter, 22, speaking at the do. He wrote: “Congratulations. Well dressed, well spoken, well done. And, if I may take some credit, well brought up!” The badshah’s daughter is taking her first steps in the industry ahead of her acting debut with Zoya Akhtar’s The Archies, based on the American comic series.

A fan

Anything that he posts on social media appears to irk audiences nowadays, but that doesn’t stop Karan Johar from praising a colleague for being “honest” on Instagram. Ever since veteran actor Zeenat Aman began to employ the social media tool to share stories from her prime, she has acquired an ardent fan-following, among whom, Johar is one. Praising her for being “so damn honest”, he said she was “everything Instagram is not! Real, and vulnerable”.

Two can play this game

Celina Jaitly has clapped back at a social media user who claimed she “slept with both father and son” Feroz Khan and Fardeen Khan. Jaitly, who stepped into Hindi cinema in 2003 with late actor-filmmaker Feroz’s Janasheen, starring Fardeen, shared, “Hope posting this gave you the much needed girth and length to become a man, and some hope to cure you of your erectile dysfunction. There are other ways to fix your problem, like going to a doctor. You must try it sometime,” she shared, urging the social media platform to take action against the user. Jaitly, who lives in Austria with her husband and their three kids, found support in several social media users who encouraged her to take action against the miscreant.
