Kareena, Soha & Saba Shower Sara Ali Khan with Birthday Love
Bollywood’s bubbly princess Sara Ali Khan rang in her 30th birthday on Tuesday — and her famous family pulled out all the stops on social media.
Kareena Kapoor Khan, aka Bebo, dropped a sweet throwback snap with Sara, brother Ibrahim, and hubby Saif Ali Khan, gushing: “Happy birthday darling @saraalikhan95. Have the bestest one yet… tons of love.”
Aunt Saba Pataudi went all sentimental, posting rare pics from Sara’s childhood to her glam-star days. “My little poser turned star… You’ve grown into a warm, loyal, talented, stunning woman I’m proud to call my niece,” she wrote, teasing that the Leo in Sara can be “frustrating” but is wrapped in “a caring friend.”
Soha Ali Khan kept it cheeky: “Sara bia happy happy birthday!! May you always be so articulate, elegant, warm — and ready to chat at 2 a.m.!”
On the work front, Sara recently lit up screens as Chumki in Anurag Basu’s Metro… In Dino. Thanking fans for embracing the role, she shared goofy behind-the-scenes snaps, declaring herself “grateful, blessed and so so so happy.”
Vaani Kapoor Gets Poetic About Her ‘Mandala Murders’ Role
Vaani Kapoor is wearing her heart on her sleeve — or rather, her Instagram — for her Netflix thriller Mandala Murders.
On Tuesday, the actress shared behind-the-scenes snaps and a heartfelt note to her character, Rea: “A calm within the raging storm… A fractured heart, resilient and worn… A tale of fierce courage, steady & true.” She called Rea a quiet warrior who fights battles out of sight, armed with wisdom and a fearless heart.
Vaani has praised the show’s “emotionally complex” storyline, saying the cast had “mutual respect” and a “positive, close-knit” vibe on set. “We were all rooting for each other,” she gushed, giving credit to creators Manan and Gopi for steering the ship with clarity and vision.
Mandala Murders is now streaming on Netflix — and with Vaani’s poetic pitch, Rea sounds like a character worth meeting.
Hrithik Roshan Says ‘War 2’ Will Blow Fans Away
Hrithik Roshan is promising fans a cinematic blast with War 2 — and he’s betting it’s “something unmissable.”
Reprising his role as super-spy Kabir, Hrithik says the character is “more intense, more emotional, and even more conflicted” this time around. The love he’s received reminds him of his Kaho Na Pyaar Hai, Dhoom 2, and Krrish glory days.
But it hasn’t been an easy ride — the star pushed through major injuries on set. “All the pain, all the injury… when I see the love for it, of course it’s worth it,” he said.
Directed by Ayan Mukerji, the YRF Spy Universe thriller pairs Hrithik with RRR’s NTR in his Bollywood debut, plus Kiara Advani. War 2 hits theaters August 14 in Hindi, Telugu, and Tamil, rolling out worldwide in Dolby Cinema glory.
Farah Khan Spills on the Moment She Knew Arjun Kapoor Was Star Material
Farah Khan still remembers the night she first spotted Arjun Kapoor’s star power — and it had nothing to do with a film set.
In her latest vlog from a visit to Arjun’s Mumbai home, the Main Hoon Na director rewound to the Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya shoot in the Maldives. After a day’s filming, a young, fit Arjun jumped on the dance floor — and stunned everyone with his moves. “That’s when I knew he could be a star,” Farah said.
Arjun, who insists he never dreamed of acting at the time, admitted he was just a “huge Michael Jackson fan” showing off his steps.
The Ishaqzaade actor has since built a decade-plus career with films like 2 States, Mubarakan, and Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar. Marking 13 years in Bollywood this May, he penned a touching letter to his younger self, urging him to “stay humble, stay hungry” and never forget his bullied-kid beginnings.
Bollywood Stars Slam SC Order to Remove Delhi’s Stray Dogs
The Supreme Court’s ruling to round up every stray dog in Delhi-NCR and send them to shelters has unleashed a storm of outrage from Bollywood and TV stars.
Zeenat Aman called the move “disheartening,” urging a “more humane, logical and science-backed approach.” Sonakshi Sinha didn’t hold back either, posting: “Day by day we expose how soulless we have become as a society.”
Anupamaa star Rupali Ganguly warned that removing strays is like “silencing an alarm before a fire,” stressing that dogs are part of India’s faith, culture, and safety. “Care for them, vaccinate them, feed them and let them live where they belong,” she wrote.
Shriya Pilgaonkar said the decision is neither humane nor practical, pointing out India’s overcrowded, underfunded shelters. She called for community-led sterilization, vaccination, and feeding programs instead of mass relocation.
The SC order instructs authorities to capture and permanently confine all Delhi-NCR strays to shelters — with no chance of escape.
Anita Hassnandani Goes to War for Absent Friend on Reality Show
Drama exploded on Choriya Chaali Gaaon when Erika Packard shockingly booted her “closest friend” Aishwarya Khare — while Aishwarya wasn’t even there to defend herself.
Enter Anita Hassnandani, who jumped in guns blazing: “I’ll fight for my friend.” The actress insisted Aishwarya would have spoken up if present, so she took on the battle herself. Even host Rannvijay Singha sided with Team Aishwarya.
The betrayal cut deep — just two episodes earlier, Erika had called Aishwarya “everything” to her. The rift began when Aishwarya voted for Erika in a round to become Maalkin of Basera, thinking it was harmless gameplay. But when Erika later got nomination power, she sent Aishwarya packing, calling it “purely strategic.”
Aishwarya wasn’t buying it: “It might be strategy, but when she said my name, the friendship changed. Sometimes the hardest battles aren’t with opponents — they’re with the people you thought were on your side.” (Source: IANS)
