Salman Khan Shares Poolside Pics After Postponing UK Shows Amid Kashmir Attack
Mumbai– Bollywood superstar Salman Khan, recently seen in Sikandar, took to Instagram on Monday to share a series of poolside photos. In the pictures, the actor poses shirtless in a swimming pool, captioning the post with a nostalgic line from the song “Eello Ji Sanam Hum Aa Gaye” from the re-released classic Andaz Apna Apna.
The post comes shortly after Salman announced the postponement of his upcoming Bollywood Big One shows in the UK, originally scheduled for May 4 and 5 in Manchester and London. The decision followed the recent terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, which claimed 27 lives, including a local resident.
“In light of the recent tragic events in Kashmir, we have taken the difficult decision to postpone the shows,” Salman shared on social media. “While we know fans were looking forward to it, it’s only right to pause during this time of grief.”
The show also features Sara Ali Khan, Varun Dhawan, Madhuri Dixit, Tiger Shroff, Kriti Sanon, and Sunil Grover. New dates will be announced soon.
Earlier, Salman strongly condemned the Pahalgam attack, calling Kashmir “heaven turning into hell,” and wrote on X, “Even one innocent life lost is like the loss of an entire universe.”
The terrorist outfit The Resistance Front (TRF), an offshoot of Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba, initially claimed responsibility for the attack before retracting the statement, citing a cyberattack on its website.
The incident has reignited concerns about Pakistan-sponsored terrorism in the Kashmir Valley. In response, India has suspended the Indus Waters Treaty and released Jhelum River waters, contributing to floods in parts of Pakistan. The National Investigation Agency (NIA) is currently leading a full-scale probe into the attack.

In the first photo, Kiara is seen enjoying a meal at an open-air café. The post also features a series of aesthetic snapshots — including a golden vase with flowers, a hidden document cleverly covered with white heart emojis, and a baby koala perched on a tree.
Highlighting her pregnancy cravings, Kiara posted images of a pizza, a tall stack of macarons, and a tempting plate of fruit cream. The post also included a serene selfie of her in a bathrobe, posing beachside without makeup, radiating natural charm.
In one standout photo, the Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 star and her husband are seen posing together in coordinated neutral tones and sunglasses, exuding effortless elegance. While Kiara didn’t include a caption, fans and fellow celebrities were quick to react. Filmmaker Karan Johar commented, calling them a “Gorgeous couple,” along with heart emojis.

Kiara and Sidharth, who fell in love during the filming of Shershaah, had long kept their relationship under wraps. They officially tied the knot in February 2023 in an intimate ceremony, putting an end to months of speculation about their romance.

Taking to social media, Mouni shared a beautifully choreographed fusion routine combining the elegance of Kathak with modern movements.

Karisma Kapoor Reveals Her First Dance Partner Was Grandfather Raj Kapoor
Mumbai– On International Dance Day, actress Karisma Kapoor shared a heartfelt throwback to her childhood, revealing that her first official dance partner was none other than her legendary grandfather, Raj Kapoor.
Posting a black-and-white photo on Instagram, Karisma is seen mid-ballroom dance with Raj Kapoor, writing, “On the occasion of International Dance Day sharing my first official Dance… Couldn’t have asked for a better dance partner.”
The bond between Karisma and her grandfather was always special. According to Ritu Nanda’s book Raj Kapoor: The One and Only Showman, Raj Kapoor had playfully insisted he would only visit the hospital after Karisma’s birth if she had blue eyes — like his own. When she did, he was overjoyed, and the two remained close throughout her childhood.
On the professional front, Karisma will next appear in the crime-thriller series Brown, where she plays detective Rita Brown, a complex character navigating addiction while solving a high-profile murder. Directed by Abhinay Deo, the series also stars Surya Sharma, Helen, Soni Razdan, and Jisshu Sengupta, and is based on Abheek Barua’s novel City of Death.
Aamir Khan Reveals How Getting Dropped from a Play Led to His First Film Role
Mumbai– Aamir Khan recently shared a surprising story from his early days, revealing how being removed from a college play unexpectedly set him on the path to becoming a film star.
In a video shared by Aamir Khan Productions on Instagram, the actor recalled his brief role in a Gujarati college play, Pasiyo Rangaro, where he was assigned minor backstage duties and given a single line in a group chant. However, due to a statewide shutdown in Maharashtra, Aamir’s mother didn’t allow him to leave home, leading to his removal from the production just before a key performance.
“I was heartbroken,” he said, recalling how he had been one of the most dedicated in the group, helping set up and tear down the stage every day.
But what seemed like a setback turned out to be a turning point. A friend introduced him to a film student from Pune who needed an actor for a diploma project. Aamir agreed — and that student film caught the attention of another filmmaker, who then recommended him to Ketan Mehta.
That led to Aamir’s first official film role in Holi. “After Holi, Mansoor and Nasir Hussain felt I could become an actor,” he said. “If Maharashtra hadn’t shut down that day, none of this would have happened.”
Reflecting on the twist of fate, Aamir concluded: “If you’re at the right place at the right time, the right thing will happen.”
Soha Ali Khan Shares Her Mother Sharmila Tagore’s Unique Acting Advice
Mumbai– Actress Soha Ali Khan, recently seen in Chhorii 2 on Prime Video, opened up about the invaluable wisdom she received from her mother, legendary actress Sharmila Tagore, during an exclusive conversation with IANS.
Reflecting on the most memorable guidance her mother offered about acting, Soha recalled a particularly vivid analogy. “She once told me, ‘Imagine the camera is a man you’re interested in — flirt with it. He’s sitting across from you in a restaurant. You’re not talking to him directly, but you want him to hear you, notice you, think you’re beautiful — without ever looking straight at him.’ I thought that was such an interesting way to build a connection with the camera,” Soha said.
She also shared another moment of advice that came early in her career. After wrapping her first film, Soha said she felt emotionally attached to the experience and her character. “I told my mother, ‘I miss the set, the people, the role.’ She told me, ‘That’s natural. But now, you need to detach and move on. That’s healthy — it helps you recalibrate and fully invest in the next project.’”
Soha will next be seen in Bridge, where she stars alongside R. Madhavan and Raashi Khanna.
