It was in March when the internet went into a complete breakdown over a certain movie that marked the debut of a much-anticipated star kid and was backed by a massive streaming giant. Yes, we are talking about Nadaaniyaan, starring Saif Ali Khan’s son Ibrahim Ali Khan and Khushi Kapoor in the lead, directed by Shauna Gautam, backed by Karan Johar, and streaming on Netflix. The movie, right after its release, opened to bad reviews and harsh public reception, where the stars were not just criticized but trolled for the movie. Khan, who made his debut, was criticized for a lot of things. His aunt, Soha Ali Khan, has now come out in his support and spoken about the nature of the job. Soha Ali Khan’s advise for Ibrahim Ali Khan Saif Ali Khan’s sister Soha Ali Khan is now promoting her movie Chhorii 2, in which she plays the antagonist opposite Nushrratt Bharuccha. The Tum Mile star, talking about fame and trolls, also spoke about Ibrahim Ali Khan and the Nadaaniyaan fiasco. She spoke about how one must have a thick skin when they plan to join the world of showbiz and not shut themselves off by only surrounding themselves with love. “Number one, I think you need to have thick skin when you join this world. One needs to digest people’s opinions or then don’t read the comments. But I feel, sometimes, it’s important to read the comments because you can’t just work in a vacuum. You have to be receptive to certain criticism, and you have to work on your craft and go forward,” Soha said in an interview with Nayandeep Rakshit. ‘Do not shut yourself off to the world’ "The only thing you can do is have some kind of armor. Do not shut yourself off to the world and surround yourself only with love and people who are going to say positive things and be like yes-men. Be open to criticism, introspect, and work towards your craft. Don’t let your film’s success or failure, perhaps, destroy you in ways, but also recognize where you need to work on something and become better,” Soha added.
11 April,2025 06:14 PM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentRanveer Allahbadia has released the second podcast post the India's Got Talent controversy, and the episode features Emraan Hashmi, who is coming up with his next film Ground Zero. Now, a few clips from the episode are going viral in which Ranveer and Emraan can be seen talking about fake friends in one’s life. The two even discussed Ranveer's recent controversy. Ranveer Allahbadia drops second podcast In one of the videos, Ranveer Allahbadia spoke about how the last few months have taught him about the "glamour and facade" in the entertainment industry. He then asked Emraan if he felt the same. Reacting to it, Emraan shared, “When your chips are down, you know who your fair-weather friends are. Sab patli gali se nikal jaate hain (everybody leaves). Then you are left with the people who really matter. So when your chips are down and those who become your support, they are your friends." "The word 'friends' is a very misused term in our industry. The people with whom you party, hobnob, gossip about the industry—woh kabhi kabhi kuch cheezein lene ke liye aate hain aapki zindagi mein (they sometimes come into your life to take things from you). I think it's a need-based relationship; it's not friendship. It's all part and parcel of glamour also. When you face failures, you know who your real friends are,” he further continued, sharing how the term 'friends' is misused in the entertainment industry. Further in the chat, Ranveer can be seen discussing how the last three months were 'such a shock' for him. He shared, "I was genuinely at my peak and then we crashed and burned. At this point, I'm the powder, and the powder is collecting itself to shape up again." About Ranveer Allahbadia’s comeback Earlier, as soon as Ranveer posted pictures announcing his comeback, several users and his followers came out in support of him and dropped positive reactions. While Abhay Deol dropped clapping emojis, Tanmay Bhat wrote, "Missed you (not really)."

Directed by Tejas Deoskar, the film is co-produced by Kassim Jagmagia, Vishal Ramchandani, Sundeep C. Sidhwani, Arhan Bagati, Talisman Films, Abhishek Kumar, and Nishikant Roy.
11 April,2025 05:15 PM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentFilmmaker and author Tahira Kashyap, who recently revealed that her breast cancer had relapsed after seven years, shared a series of hilarious anecdotes about how hospitals and music are deeply connected. The Sharmajee Ki Beti director took to Instagram and shared how a doctor at the scanning area had his playlist on to lighten up her mood. However, she was put off by Kal Ho Naa Ho’s title track, which she instantly asked to be stopped. Tahira on hospital music Tahira, who is married to actor Ayushmann Khurrana, wrote on Instagram, “As I entered the scanning and imaging area, the doc there, perhaps in his attempt to make the mood lighter had his playlist on. This was the song that was playing as I lay down, ready to be taken inside! I gulped and said, " Sir, I appreciate your gesture, but pls ‘isse toh band hi kardo!’” View this post on Instagram A post shared by tahirakashyapkhurrana (@tahirakashyap) Tahira’s breast cancer returns On World Health Day 2025, Tahira shared on social media that her breast cancer had returned. She wrote in her post, “Seven year itch or the power of regular screening - it's a perspective, I had like to go with the latter and suggest the same for everyone who needs to get regular mammograms. Round 2 for me... I still got this." In the caption of the post, she added, “When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. When life becomes too generous and throws them again at you, you squeeze them calmly into your favourite kala khatta drink and sip it with all the good intentions. Because for one it’s a better drink and two you know you will give it your best once again #regularscreening #mammogram not shying away from saying it #breastcancer #onemoretime #letsgo Ironically or not today is #WorldHealthDay Let’s do whatever we can in our capacity to take care of ourselves #gratitude through and through.” Tahira was initially diagnosed with stage zero breast cancer in 2018, the earliest stage where abnormal cells remain confined to the breast ducts or lobules and do not spread to nearby tissues. Meanwhile, Tahira made her directorial debut with Sharmajee Ki Beti, which featured actors Sakshi Tanwar, Divya Dutta, and Saiyami Kher in the lead roles, along with Vanshika Taparia, Arista Mehta, Sharib Hashmi, and Parvin Dabas in pivotal roles.

However, the thrilling speed was for the screen as he was chased by Abhishek Bachchan and Uday Chopra in the film. This time, he has upped the ante with the latest addition in his biking den. John is passionate for superbikes, and has played a major role in shaping up the biking culture in India. The actor, who was recently seen in ‘The Diplomat’, spoke with IANS, and shed light on the specifications of his new bike, the Aprilia RSV4 1100 factory. John told IANS, “I have a 1100cc engine in my bike. It's a big cubic capacity motorcycle. It's got a B4 engine, and is very powerful”. When asked if the bike is powered by a Turbocharger, a device that increases the pressure of the fuel–air mixture in the combustion chamber, the actor replied in negative. He said, “I've upped the power to about 235bhp. That's very powerful for a motorcycle. The power to weight ratio is crazy. The bike has a top speed of about 360 kilometers an hour but I've done only 305 kmph”. Earlier, John had told IANS that he was written off after his debut movie. But, it was his resilience that made him come back stronger. He earlier told IANS, that he believes in working towards building his future, and doesn’t look back at his professional journey, that’s the reason he was able to look past his initial failure, and capitalise on what was ahead of him.

Of course, it's very important for the film trade to know, and the audience to know your filmography”. “But, you as a person have to look in front. It’s for the audience to look at your filmography”, he added. This story has been sourced from a third party syndicated feed, agencies.

11 April,2025 11:20 AM IST | Mumbai | IANSNushrratt Bharuccha makes a powerful return to the Chhorii 2, an even more dramatic sequel than its predecessor. Also starring Soha Ali Khan and Gashmeer Mahajani, the second part delves into yet another pressing societal issue against the girl child. Director Vishal Furia does an excellent job of tying the two films together so that viewers who missed watching the first part can still watch the sequel without feeling a void. The story’s not over just yet Spoiler ahead! The sequel is a gut-wrenching watch, and unlike the first part, it does get you hooked. However, barring a few jump scares, it isn’t really a horror movie at its heart but fights the real evil in society. After tackling female foeticide, Furia brings forth the topic of child marriage by blending folklore. Nushrratt’s daughter is kidnapped by her husband, who is seeking revenge after a wait of 7 years. The story takes us back to the sugarcane fields, where a new horror awaits. Nushrratt’s biggest hurdle is an evil in the form of a caveman who preys on young girls for immortality. He is aided by Soha Ali Khan, blinded by duty and a powerful arch-nemesis for Nushrratt. Chhorii 3 in the works? The film has the usual good wins over evil plot, but instead of putting a lid on it with a happy ending, Furia decides to twist it even more. When all seems well with Nushrratt finally saving her daughter from the hands of evil, also with Soha’s help, who finally understands her worth as a woman, the story takes a dramatic turn. Nushrratt fails to escape the caveman and decides to battle it out while leaving her daughter in the care of Soha. Will she succeed in defeating evil once and for all? This is what might form the crux for Chhorii 3. About Chhorii 2 Directed by Vishal Furia, who also directed the first part, Chhorii 2 also features Saurabh Goyal, Pallavi Ajay, Kuldeep Sareen, and Hardika Sharma. It premiered on Amazon Prime Video on April 11 under the banners of T-Series, Abundantia Entertainment, Psych, and Tamarisk Lane Productions.
11 April,2025 10:57 AM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentBollywood actor Rajkummar Rao, who plays an about to get married guy caught in a time-loop in "Bhool Chuk Maaf", says there are moments in his life that he would want to relive including the time he bagged his debut film"Love Sex Aur Dhokha" and saw "Stree 2" become a major box office success. At the trailer launch press conference of the actor's upcoming film "Bhool Chuk Maaf", he was asked about the moments he would like to relive in his life. "From my career, as an outsider, when you come to the city, it can be overwhelming; it is very tough. I know a lot of actor friends who've come to the city, and not everyone gets that opportunity. So, getting that first film is important for any actor who has come from outside. This happened to me in 2010," Rao told reporters at an event here. "I would like to relive that moment again and again. I would also love to relive the moment when my mother was with me when I won the first National award. Then when 'Stree 2' released and the first day box office number came we were like, 'What"what has happened'," Rao said. Another moment that the actor would want to revisit is the day he got married to wife Patralekha in 2021. "All the three days of my wedding were most beautiful and I would like to relive it again and again, the 'pheras' were most beautiful. The first time I saw Patralekha walk the aisle, I would like to relive that again." In "Bhool Chuk Maaf", Rao plays a groom who discovers that the day before his wedding keeps getting repeated a la "The Groundhog Day". He then embarks on a journey to find out how he can break the cycle. In 1993's "The Groundhog Day", Bill Murray's weatherman realises that he is reliving the same day while out on an assignment. Responding to a query about him playing the common man on screen like other seasoned actors Balraj Sahni, Sanjeev Kumar, and Irrfan Khan, Rao said he feels blessed to be compared and that his personal favourite among them is Khan. "I'm nothing in front of what they've done (in terms of representing the common man). I'm still learning, and I want to do better and grow as an artist. I feel good when people say they relate to my films. "It is a victory because the kind of stories and films we're making, the point is people should feel we're telling their own story. It is not easy to convince people that it is your story, and I'm bringing your version on screen. I'm glad people feel I'm one among them, so it is a blessing," the 40-year-old actor added. Rao's upcoming film, "Bhool Chuk Maaf", marks his eighth collaboration with Vijan's production company Maddock Films, and the actor said he thoroughly enjoys working with him and added that he admires his passion for cinema. Rao and Vijan have worked together on films like "Raabta", "Stree", "Made in China", "Hum Do Humare Do", "Roohi", "Bhediya", and "Stree 2". "Dinoo directed 'Raabta', in which I played a small part. A lot of people told me, 'Why did you do this film, anybody could've done it (role)'. I don't know if there could be a reason behind it; maybe we were meant to be together. Then straight away we did 'Stree'," he recalled. The actor praised Vijan for his passion for cinema and for empowering newer directors like Karan Sharma, Amar Kaushik, and Laxman Utekar. "I've seen Dinoo's love for every film, be it small or big; he has the same passion, and that's why I love working with him. He ropes in good makers, has good stories that have quirk and twang. I like working with him," he said. "It's important to back good stories, and films are made by producers. He is doing great work, and I hope he keeps making these wonderful stories. We often see projects being made in the industry, and there's less focus on making stories. I'm glad I've a friend who is focused on telling stories," Rao added. "Bhool Chuk Maaf" is written and directed by Karan Sharma of "Maharani" fame. It also stars Wamiqa Gabbi, Seema Pahwa, Zakir Hussain, and others. Gabbi admits she was nervous initially while working with Rao, who is one of the best Hindi movie actors. "I was very nervous working with Raj, even he got to know about it. I remember telling him (Karan) whenever I do a scene wrong, let me know because Raj sir will perform well. On the first two days, I was nervous. Later, Raj sir made me comfortable and told me, 'We're here to help; if there's anything that goes wrong, we will let you know'. I'm thankful to Raj sir and Karan sir for ensuring that I perform better. It is one of the most beautiful experiences that I've had." The actor, who shot to fame with the OTT series, "Jubilee", expressed gratitude to Vijan for trusting her for a comedic role. "I've always had doubts about whether I can do comedy (onscreen) or not. I had no idea if I could do it on camera. Comedy is very tough. When I did 'Bhool Chuk Maaf', I learnt a bit about it by working with Raj sir and the cast we've had, like the comic timing and all. I'm ready to do comedy films now," Gabbi said. "There are very few people like Dinesh sir, who have that faith in actors. When they see the potential, they put the money on them; they give them the opportunity. I'm thankful to Dinoo for trusting me," she added. Presented by Dinesh Vijan in association with Amazon MGM Studios, "Bhool Chuk Maaf", is slated to release in theatres on May 9.
