“Let’s begin with our top story. Actor Babil Khan revealed in a new interview, that he was in showbiz to explore everything. It was only recently, that he went from being a budding actor to a newcomer, following the release of his feature film debut, Qala.
In the Netflix psychological drama, he was introduced as Jagan, a prodigy. Babil is the son of the late star Irrfan Khan and producer Sutapa Sikdar. The young actor admitted that he learned the ropes of acting from his father, and would often visit him on set as a child. Irrfan died in 2020 following a two-year battle with a rare form of cancer.”
Moving on, Superstar Shah Rukh Khan had warm words of encouragement for his son Aryan Khan, who recently announced his first official project in the film industry. In an Instagram post, Aryan shared a picture of a script and wrote that he’s ‘Wrapped with the writing’ and couldn’t ‘wait to say action’, indicating that he was the writer-director of an upcoming Red Chillies project. SRK then wrote in the comments – “..The first one was always special”, to which his son responded that he was looking forward to his father’s “surprise visits on sets”. The star had shared similar words of encouragement when his daughter, Suhana’s debut film, Netflix’s The Archies, was announced some months ago.
“Actors Rajkummar Rao and Patralekhaa have been married for a year now and the two have been together, for over a decade. The pair tied the knot in Chandigarh on November 16.
While the wedding ceremony was lovely and touching, what caught everyone’s attention was the “”sindoor”” moment. When Rajkummar put sindoor on Patralekhaa, she also filled his “”maang”” with vermillion. Speaking about that sweet and memorable gesture, Rajkummar said that, that was his idea. In a recent interview, the actor revealed that he had wanted her to put vermillion on him, as well. He also opened up about his work and said he was getting a lot of praise for his roles in “”Monica O My Darling”” and “”Badhaai Do””.”
Meanwhile, Global star Priyanka Chopra recently spoke about the pay disparity and body-shaming in Bollywood and shared that she wasn’t getting paid “even 10 per cent” of what her male co-stars would get then. In an interview, the actor shared that her generation of female actors asked for equal pay but they never got it. The interview was part of BBC’s ‘100 Women’ list of influential figures of the year, and Priyanka was one of the four Indians to feature on the list. The actor also revealed that she was subjected to body shaming for her complexion early in her career, and was often called ‘black cat’ or ‘dusky’. Chopra is now well-settled in the States, having a family with her husband Nick Jonas.
“Filmmaker Anurag Basu and producer Bhushan Kumar have joined hands yet again for their latest project “”Metro… In Dino””. The anthology will feature actors Aditya Roy Kapur, Sara Ali Khan, Anupam Kher, Neena Gupta, Pankaj Tripathi, Konkona Sen Sharma, Ali Fazal, and Fatima Sana Shaikh. The film will showcase “bittersweet tales of human relationships based in contemporary times,” a statement from the makers read. Basu had previously directed the acclaimed 2007 drama, “”Life in a… Metro””.
Bas’s last release was the multi-starrer anthology, Ludo. The music of “”Metro… In Dino”” will be composed by Pritam, Basu’s long-time collaborator.”
Actor Vicky Kaushal is awaiting the release of his first-ever typical masala Bollywood film, Govinda Naam Mera. Helmed by Shashank Khaitan, the film will release on Disney+ Hotstar on December 16. Ahead of the release, Vicky is doing everything it takes to create buzz around the film. He recently shared a reel on Instagram performing on the film’s latest song “Kya Baat Hai”. Interestingly, he wrote in the captions that his wife, Katrina Kaif doesn’t approve and was hopeful one day “she would appreciate” his fun videos. The couple will be celebrating their first wedding anniversary on December 9. They had an intimate wedding ceremony last year, which was attended only by their close friends and family members.
Yesteryear actor Anu Aggarwal, who is best known for Mahesh Bhatt’s Aashiqui, moved away from the film industry after she discovered her spiritual side. In a recent interview, Anu recalled the time she lived like a monk with only two sets of clothes in freezing temperatures. She recalled that for months on end, her hands and feet were frozen. Anu realized then, that she had completely “gotten away from luxury”. She also recalled how her car was often mobbed at Mumbai’s Marine Drive after Aashiqui had been released. Anu Aggarwal recently appeared on Indian Idol with her Aashiqui castmates, for a special episode of the film’s music.
Lastly, actor Neena Gupta famously took to social media to remind filmmakers that she was still around and thanks to that statement, she landed Badhaai Ho in 2018. The star was known for her many roles on television and in films but she never got stereotyped into playing a certain kind of role and the actor feels that this harmed her career. In a recent interview, the Uunchai actor shared that while people often complained about being typecast, there was a huge downside to not being typecast as well. This year, the actor starred in Goodbye and Uunchai and was also a part of Masaba Masaba Season 2. The actor will soon be seen in Vadh alongside Sanjay Mishra.
