Malaika Arora debunks split rumours with new cryptic post
Mumbai– After being spotted together at a restaurant for a lunch date, Malaika Arora on Monday shared a cryptic post, which seems she is debunking break-up rumours with actor Arjun Kapoor.
Taking to Instagram Stories, Malaika shared a photo of the cartoon character Snoopy, from American comic strip ‘Peanuts’, written and illustrated by Charles M. Schulz. The picture had a quote: “Stay close to people who feel like sunshine.”
Malaika and Arjun were spotted together on Sunday, enjoying each other’s company as they stepped out for a lunch date. The two were spotted walking out of a restaurant in Mumbai.
While Malaika was seen in an all-white ensemble, Arjun sported a casual look in an all-black T-shirt and pair of jeans.
It was being reported that Arjun and Malaika have parted ways and Arjun was now dating social media influencer and actor Kusha Kapila. However, Kusha, who has recently separated from Zorawar Singh Ahluwalia, denied any such development.
Malaika and Arjun were rumoured to have ended their relationship after Malaika reportedly unfollowed Arjun’s family including father Boney Kapoor, sisters Anshula, Janhvi and Khushi Kapoor, on Instagram.
Before dating Arjun, Malaika was married to actor-director Arbaaz Khan, brother of Bollywood superstar Salman Khan. After getting married in 1998, they announced their separation in March 2016, and got officially divorced in May 2017.
On the work front, Malaika was seen in the 2022 film ‘An Action Hero’, in a special appearance in the song ‘Aap Jaisa Koi’. The movie stars Ayushmann Khurrana and Jaideep Ahlawat in the lead.
Arjun was last seen in action thriller film ‘Kuttey’, directed by Aasmaan Bhardwaj. He will be next seen in ‘The Lady Killer’, which is a noir thriller film, also starring Bhumi Pednekar. Arjun also has ‘Meri Patni Ka Remake’ in the pipeline.

Mumbai– Actress Tamannaah Bhatia, who is receiving a lot of positive response to her OTT show ‘Aakhri Sach’, has shared that her character in the show doesn’t have any control over her personal life.

Talking about her part in the series, she told IANS: “My character of Anya has accepted that she has a very messed up personal life. She is a modern young girl, and happens to be the investigating officer on the case. She knows that she doesn’t have control over her personal life but this case is the only space where she knows she can use her skill to navigate and unravel the truth.”
When asked if it was difficult for her to cleanse herself off such an intense character, the actress denied saying that she didn’t have to actively cleanse her system off the character but there’s something that she felt during the making of the show.
Tamannaah said: “I don’t think that it was very difficult to cleanse myself of this character but I remember on the last day of shoot, I did feel lighter. I did have a heavy heart during the making of this show, I can’t deny that. I felt a sense of relief from those pent up feelings.”
‘Aakhri Sach’, which also stars Abhishek Banerjee is currently available to stream on Disney+ Hotstar.

Asha Bhosle records a song for Anshuman Jha-starrer ‘Hari-Om’
Mumbai– Legendary singer Asha Bhosle, at the age of 89, lent her vocal prowess to a song called ‘Zindagi Tu Chup Hain Kahan’ for the tentatively titled film ‘Hari Om’ starring Anshuman Jha and Raghubir Yadav.
The Harish Vyas’s dramedy is about generational divide and wrapped shoot earlier this year in Varanasi. The film is a father(Hari)-son(Om) story exploring the generational divide through a drama comedy.
It completes the trilogy of Harish Vyas’s love stories which began with ‘Angrezi Mein Kehte Hain’ – Between a 55 year old man and his wife. Followed it up with the LGBTQ+ love story on friendship ‘Hum Bhi Akele-Tum Bhi Akele’ and ‘Hari-Om’ completes the circle by talking about the importance of expressing love between a father and a son.
Anshuman said: ‘It’s surreal to have met Asha Ji. So grateful that she has sung ‘Zindagi Tu Chupi Hai Kahan’ in her inimitable style. She also loved the Lakadbaggha trailer and told me she had met Bruce Lee in 1971 which made the meeting even more special. I asked her what he was like & she very kindly shared.’
‘Asha Tai saw some rushes of the film, liked it and so I called Anshuman to the studio who was keen to seek her blessings’ said Vyasm who is collaborating with the actor for a third straight film after ‘Angrezi Mein Kehte Hain’ and ‘Hum Bhi Akele, Tum Bhi Akele’. (IANS)
