Malaika Arora Sends Sweet Birthday Wish to Ex Arjun Kapoor with Unseen Clip

Malaika Arora just proved exes can stay friendly. On Arjun Kapoor’s 40th birthday, the actress took to Instagram to share a short, unseen boomerang of the birthday boy looking laid-back and cheerful in a white shirt and black pants. Her caption? A simple but warm “Happy Birthday.”

Malaika and Arjun dated for nearly six years before quietly calling it quits last year. Arjun later confirmed the breakup during a fan event, quipping, “Nahi nahi abhi single hun, relax karo,” when asked about her.

Despite the split, there’s clearly no bad blood. Fans still remember Malaika lighting up Arjun’s 38th birthday party with a sizzling dance to her hit “Chaiyya Chaiyya.”

This year, Arjun was showered with love from Bollywood pals. Kareena Kapoor shared a fun pic of the two with cake-smeared faces, writing, “Happy Birthday Arjjj… lots of love always.” Karan Johar called him the “funniest guy in any room” and wished him “the best decade ahead.”

Looks like 40 is off to a fab start for Fubu!

Richa Chadha is getting real about how love has changed her. In a heart-to-heart chat with Karan Johar on his new podcast Live Your Best Life with Karan Johar, the actress opened up about her relationship with husband Ali Fazal — and it’s straight out of a rom-com.

“Ali and I were friends before we started dating,” she shared. “It’s literally from one of your films — pyaar dosti hai,” she told KJo, quoting his iconic line.

But it’s not just about friendship. Richa revealed how Ali has helped her evolve emotionally: “I have no shame in saying this — Ali makes me enjoy being a woman. He’s softened me. My guard has come down, my rage has come down.”

Reflecting on her growth, she added, “I used to be so angry… now I just laugh at things that used to upset me.”

Live Your Best Life is Karan’s debut podcast, bringing his signature flair to Audible, where he chats with stars and changemakers across entertainment, wellness, and beyond.

Saiyami Kher Says Action Is in Her Blood: “I Love It!”

Saiyami Kher is all in when it comes to action—and it’s not just for the cameras. The actress, who returns in Special Ops 2, says her athletic background makes stunt work second nature.

“I love doing action,” Saiyami said. “I grew up running, cycling, swimming… sports have always been a huge part of my life.” She even trained for the Ironman Triathlon and picked up MMA for a past role. “Whether it’s hand-to-hand combat or high-speed chases, I’m always game.”

The upcoming Special Ops sequel—dropping July 11—stars Kay Kay Menon, Vinay Pathak, Tahir Raj Bhasin, and Kher in a gripping new espionage chapter.

Saiyami was recently seen in Jaat alongside Sunny Deol and Randeep Hooda, and she’s racked up an impressive resume since her 2015 debut, including roles in Mirzya, Breathe, Wild Dog, and Ghoomer.
