Bollywood Roundup: Shah Rukh Khan, Priyanka Chopra, Kajol, and more…
SRK’s Throwback Bombshell: Salman Is ‘Biggest Star,’ Aamir the ‘Finest Actor’ — But I Made My Own Throne!
Mumbai — A resurfaced Lehren TV interview has Shah Rukh Khan getting refreshingly honest about Bollywood’s ultimate trio — himself, Salman Khan, and Aamir Khan.
When asked if he ever expected to match their superstardom, SRK didn’t dodge. “I know that Mr. Salman Khan is easily the biggest star ever in terms of time span. Mr. Aamir Khan, I personally feel is the finest actor in the country. Putting it politely, I have made my own position,” he said.
And he wasn’t done. Slamming rumors that he “replaced” anyone, SRK added, “Some people very impolitely and stupidly I feel, say I have displaced A, B, C, D, which I think is completely wrong. Everybody has their own style of acting… It doesn’t happen like that.”
Confident but cool, the superstar explained that his versatility set him apart. “I have a little bit of acting talent and my technique is a little bit honed. So I can do a variety of roles… My face is not a regular sweet boy face or an action hero’s face. It is a mixture.” From romance in Deewana to comedy in Chamatkar and charm in Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman, SRK said he carved his own lane — no comparisons needed.
The Badshah made his Bollywood debut in 1992 with Deewana after winning hearts on TV shows like Fauji and Circus. Backed early on by Hema Malini in Dil Aashna Hai, he went on to deliver blockbusters like Baazigar, Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Devdas, and Chennai Express, cementing his megastar status.
Last seen in Dunki, SRK is now gearing up for King, which also stars his daughter Suhana Khan and Deepika Padukone.
One thing’s clear: in a league of legends, SRK says everyone shines — but he built his own crown.
Priyanka’s Love Vault! Nick’s Handwritten Letters Still Make Her Swoon
Mumbai — Priyanka Chopra Jonas just melted hearts with a glimpse into her real-life romance with Nick Jonas — and it’s straight out of a movie.
Chatting with Jay Shetty on his podcast, Priyanka revealed a promise Nick made long before they said “I do.” When he asked her mom for her hand in marriage, he vowed, “I promised your mom that I’ll always keep you happy. That’s going to be my quest, your happiness. And I’ll always tell you how loved you are.”
Big words — but according to Priyanka, he’s lived up to every one of them.
“You can say that, like when you just get married. But to keep up with it,” she said, praising Nick for consistently showing his love in everyday moments.
Her sweetest confession? A secret “memory drawer” packed with handwritten notes and cards — especially letters from Nick. “I love the cards that people write me. I love a handwritten note,” she shared.
While recently sorting through the drawer, she stumbled upon years of love letters from her husband. “All of these letters that Nick has written to me over the years… right from the beginning, he just always told me… tell your loved ones you love them. It makes such a big difference.”
Priyanka and Nick’s whirlwind romance began at the Vanity Fair Oscars afterparty, went public at the Met Gala, and turned serious fast. He proposed in London on her birthday in July 2018, and by December, the two were married in a lavish Hindu and Christian ceremony at Umaid Bhawan Palace in Jodhpur.
In 2022, they welcomed daughter Malti Marie via surrogacy after a challenging NICU journey.
From global red carpets to private love notes, Priyanka’s message is simple: the grand gestures are great — but it’s the handwritten “I love you” that lasts forever.
Kajol’s DIY Confession! “Bulky, Unpredictable… Just Like My Life Choices”
Mumbai — Kajol just dropped her latest creation — and it’s not a movie, it’s a crochet bag.
The actress proudly showed off her very first handmade crochet piece on Instagram, holding up the colorful bag with a grin. And in true Kajol style, she compared it to her own journey.
“Made my first crochet bag! A little bulky, slightly unpredictable but all me, a lot like my life choices I think,” she wrote.
Only Kajol could turn a DIY moment into a life philosophy.
But that’s not all. The actress recently shared a rare, sweet snapshot with husband Ajay Devgn, joking, “In a rare moment of understanding we both agree that we both deserve a medal and a trophy.”
The photo had fans swooning — Ajay in a sharp black suit with his signature beard, Kajol glowing in a maroon saree, the two exchanging warm smiles.
And love was clearly in the air this Valentine’s Day. Ajay posted a romantic reel dedicated to Kajol, captioning it, “Will you be my Valentine? @kajol” and calling her “His valentine in every era.”
The montage featured clips from their films together — Ishq, Pyaar To Hona Hi Tha, Dil Kya Kare, Raju Chacha, U Me Aur Hum and Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior — tracing their chemistry from the 1990s to now.
The couple fell for each other while filming Hulchul, grew closer during Pyaar Toh Hona Hi Tha, and tied the knot on February 24, 1999, in a traditional Maharashtrian ceremony.
From crochet bags to decades of romance, Kajol’s life may be “bulky and unpredictable” — but it’s unmistakably hers.
Ektaa Kapoor’s Balaji Telefilms Warns: Fake Casting Calls Using Our Name!
Mumbai — Ektaa Kapoor’s Balaji Telefilms has issued a strong public warning after fraudsters allegedly began circulating fake casting calls under the company’s name.
In an official statement, the production house said, “Balaji Telefilms Limited hereby issues this formal clarification to notify the general public that several unauthorized individuals and fraudulent social media accounts are currently misusing our corporate identity to publish false casting opportunities for our upcoming TV serials, web series, and motion pictures.”

“All legitimate recruitment and casting for our projects are conducted exclusively through our verified channels and official casting directors; therefore, we urge the public to exercise extreme caution, verify all credentials, and refrain from sharing personal data or funds with any unverified representatives claiming to act on our behalf,” it added.

Somy Ali Gets Emotional: “Om Puri Took Care of Me” During ‘Chupp’ Abuse Scenes
Mumbai — Somy Ali is looking back at Chupp with gratitude — and deep respect for the late Om Puri.
In a heartfelt social media post, the actress revealed that filming abusive domestic violence scenes in the 1997 thriller was emotionally intense, especially given her own difficult past. But she said Om Puri handled it with rare sensitivity.
“While this was a murder mystery combined with a woman’s plight facing domestic violence which is no laughing matter, Om ji was very sensitive about my past and I can’t stress on how much care he took of me during the abusive scenes,” she wrote.
His way of helping her cope? Humor.
“His remedy was to make me laugh by telling me amazing jokes the second we heard ‘cut.’ I feel honored to have worked with all three of co-stars mentioned above.”
Somy also reflected on how lucky she feels to have shared screen space with legends like Amitabh Bachchan, Jeetendra, Om Puri and Rajesh Khanna — actors she once admired as a child. She even recalled boldly telling Rajesh Khanna she wanted to marry him when she was just seven.
She fondly remembered Jeetendra giving her life advice during breaks and Om Puri sharing cooking tips on set. “Thank you, Om ji as to this day I can make the best daal, biryani and my rotis don’t like global maps because of you,” she wrote, adding that she misses them all tremendously.
For Somy, Chupp wasn’t just another film — it was a lesson in kindness, mentorship, and resilience.
