Priyanka Chopra Says Goodbye to Mumbai, Thanks ‘Bhabhi’ for Stepping In
MUMBAI– Priyanka Chopra Jonas wrapped up her whirlwind trip to Mumbai with prayers, parties, and a little family help. Before flying out, the global superstar gave a sweet shout-out to her “bhabhi” Neelam Upadhyaya for coming to the rescue when Nick Jonas wasn’t around.
Priyanka posted a cheeky Instagram video showing Neelam pulling clips out of her hair after a long day. “Alvida Mumbai! Always so wonderful to be back… Thank you @neelamupadhyaya for stepping in when hubby wasn’t around,” Priyanka wrote.
The actress made waves at the North Bombay Sarbojanin Durga Puja in a dazzling purple outfit, sharing her festive spirit with Ayan Mukerji and Tanishaa Mukerji. She also wished fans a happy Dussehra before hopping on a flight home.
On the work front, Priyanka just starred in the action flick Heads of State with John Cena and Idris Elba. She’s gearing up for big projects, including Mahesh Babu’s SSMB29, Hrithik Roshan’s Krrish 4, and the swashbuckling drama The Bluff, where she plays a pirate queen.
Alia Bhatt Can’t Wait to Take Baby Raha on Safari — But There’s a Catch
MUMBAI– Alia Bhatt has a favorite getaway spot — but little Raha Kapoor isn’t old enough to tag along just yet. The Jigra star revealed on the chat show Two Much with Kajol and Twinkle that she’s obsessed with the Maasai Mara National Reserve in Kenya.
“I love Maasai Mara. I can stay there for days,” Alia gushed. “Being around the animals, the greenery… it’s one of my most precious places to visit. I can’t wait to take Raha there, but kids aren’t allowed until they reach a certain age.”
The wildlife reserve is world-famous for the Great Migration of over a million zebras and gazelles — but for now, Raha will have to wait at home.
Alia also admitted she never really thought about marrying into Bollywood’s legendary Kapoor clan until much later. “When you’re so drawn into a relationship, the family legacy isn’t what you’re thinking about,” she said. “It hit me only when we celebrated 100 years of Raj Kapoor — that’s when I realized, wow, he’s Raha’s great-grandfather.”
Two Much with Kajol and Twinkle is now streaming on RPrime Video.

She shared the moment on Instagram, gushing over the energy of the ritual: “The absolute excitement to experience the vibe of #dunuchi for the first time… Happy Dussehra everyone!”
Nia kept her festive look simple but stunning — an elegant saree, bold earrings, bangles, and a bindi — while soaking in the devotional atmosphere.
For those who don’t know, Dhunuchi Naach is a centuries-old Bengali dance performed during Durga Puja, where devotees sway gracefully with incense-filled pots as smoke and music fill the air.
