Ananya Panday turns heads with dreamy Maldives getaway
MUMBAI– Bollywood darling Ananya Panday is making fans swoon with her island escape to the Maldives.
The actress has been flooding Instagram with sun-kissed snaps — posing against a glowing dawn sky, pedaling a bicycle through the resort, and giving a peek at her lavish villa. She even shared foodie clips of croissants and puffs at a swanky Maldivian bakery.
But the holiday glow won’t last long. Ananya is gearing up for two big films — Chand Mera Dil with Lakshya Lalwani and a rom-com opposite Kartik Aaryan. Her OTT hit Call Me Bae just turned one, and she’s already teasing fans that season two is “coming super soon.”
Looks like this Maldives recharge was exactly what B-Town’s sweetheart needed before jumping back into the spotlight.
Sanjay Dutt roasts Suniel Shetty over ‘battery socks’ in Ladakh
MUMBAI– Bollywood tough guys Sanjay Dutt and Suniel Shetty turned comedians on The Great Indian Kapil Show when Sanjay exposed Suniel’s secret for surviving Ladakh’s freezing cold — battery-operated socks.
“Suniel can’t handle the cold,” Sanjay joked, revealing how his co-star relied on heated socks to keep his feet warm on set.
Not to be outdone, Suniel fired back with his own prank story. He recalled sneaking a heater grill right into Sanjay’s face, leaving the impatient star so annoyed that he yanked the grill out completely.
The laughs didn’t stop there. Sanjay also shared a bizarre real-life twist — a call from the police once informed him that a woman had left him property worth ₹150 crore. Shocked, Sanjay said he had never met her and returned the inheritance to her family, insisting it be put to good use.
Looks like the Ladakh chill wasn’t the only thing heating up when these two shared their wild stories.
