Shivangi Joshi Says Love Matters More Than Industry Labels
MUMBAI — Television star Shivangi Joshi has shared her candid thoughts on dating and relationships, making it clear that she doesn’t believe love should be defined by professions or industry boundaries.
Speaking on the podcast Honestly, Why Not by Balaji Telefilms, Shivangi was asked about dating men from within the entertainment industry. The actress responded with ease, saying that a person’s job has little to do with the success of a relationship.
“According to me, what truly matters is the person, the respect, understanding, love, and values they bring into a relationship. The profession really doesn’t matter,” she said.
Shivangi has often been in the spotlight for her personal life, including past rumors linking her to Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai co-star Mohsin Khan. The duo’s on-screen chemistry as Naira and Kartik made them one of Indian television’s most loved pairs in 2017.
She later grabbed headlines for her reported relationship with Barsatein – Mausam Pyaar Ka co-star Kushal Tandon. The buzz intensified after Kushal hinted at their breakup in a now-deleted social media post.
On the professional side, Shivangi has appeared in shows such as Balika Vadhu 2 and Bekaboo, and also competed on Khatron Ke Khiladi 12. More recently, she drew attention online for acing bridesmaid duties at her sister Sheetal Joshi’s wedding.

The actress has also been grabbing attention online after jumping on the viral “2016 rewind” trend. Kareena recently shared an unseen photo from the hospital moments after the birth of her first son, Taimur Ali Khan. The image showed husband Saif Ali Khan holding newborn Taimur, with Kareena’s late grandmother Krishna Raj Kapoor unintentionally photobombing the frame.
“When Dadi Ji photobombed but didn’t know,” Kareena wrote alongside the throwback.

Recently, Kareena opened up about how 2025 was an especially difficult year for their family. Saif Ali Khan was injured in a burglary at their residence earlier that year, requiring surgery and nearly 10 days of hospitalization, while their younger son Jeh was also hurt during the incident.

Dressed in a striking black outfit with gold embellishments, Rakul completed the look with a bold gold choker, matching earrings, a high ponytail, and warm-toned makeup with golden eyeshadow. She cheekily dubbed the clip “Get Ready Without Me.”
Off screen, Rakul has also been in a reflective mood. Ahead of 2026, she shared a video montage revisiting 2025, calling it a year of lessons, love, and personal growth, and expressing gratitude for the people and opportunities that shaped it.

Ajay Devgn Clears the Air on ‘The 50’ Lion Mystery
MUMBAI — Ajay Devgn has finally weighed in on the biggest question buzzing around the upcoming reality show The 50: who exactly is the Lion?
In a newly released promo, the actor pokes fun at the wild speculation linking him to the mysterious figure. The clip opens with Ajay watching a teaser for the show when his phone starts ringing nonstop, with callers convinced he’s the Lion behind the game.
Ajay shuts down the rumors with humor, cracking jokes about dance moves, controversial tasks, and his dislike for large gatherings. “Main vardi wala Lion hoon,” he says, striking his iconic Singham pose, before adding that he doesn’t even attend parties with five people, let alone handle fifty contestants.
Growing mock-serious, he finally declares, “Last time bol raha hoon, main The 50 ka Lion nahi hoon,” before ending the promo with his trademark line, “Aata maajhi satakli… yeh 1st February kab aayega?”
Speaking about the show, Ajay said the confusion itself reflects The 50’s massive appeal. With fifty contestants, unpredictable challenges, and nonstop mind games, he described the scale as intense and packed with edge-of-the-seat drama.
Produced by Banijay Asia, The 50 is a globally successful reality franchise making its India debut. The show places fifty contestants in a high-pressure setting, overseen by the unseen Lion, whose authority shapes every rule, risk, and reward.
The 50 is set to premiere on February 1 on JioHotstar and Colors. (Source: IANS)
