When Little Sanjay Dutt Stopped Lata Mangeshkar Mid-Song
MUMBAI– Bollywood bad boy Sanjay Dutt once managed to bring a concert by none other than Lata Mangeshkar to a screeching halt — and he was just a kid at the time!
In a throwback tale from chat show Jeena Isi Ka Naam Hai, Dutt’s late father Sunil Dutt recalled how, during a 1971 war tour to Bangladesh, young Sanjay begged to tag along. Told he had to perform something to join, he grabbed a pair of bongos.
But when Lata ji took the stage, her magical performance was cut short by off-beat drumming. The culprit? Little Sanjay! Instead of scolding him, the legendary singer simply smiled and said, “Keep on playing.”
Fast forward to today — the Munna Bhai star is making headlines again. On Thursday, he saluted the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) on its 100th anniversary with a video message, praising its role in “nation building” and urging unity.
Just before that, Sanjay was spotted at Ujjain’s Mahakaleshwar Temple, where he attended the sacred Bhasma Aarti. Calling it his “good fortune” to finally be there, he said he felt the divine energy of Baba Mahakal and prayed for blessings.
From bongos to blessings — Sanjay Dutt sure knows how to stay in the spotlight!
Bhumi Pednekar Reveals Painful Skin Battle
MUMBAI– Bollywood star Bhumi Pednekar just got real about her skin struggles — and fans can totally relate.
In a candid Insta Story, the Dum Laga Ke Haisha actress admitted she’s been fighting eczema since childhood, with doctors officially diagnosing her three years ago. While doing her makeup in the bathroom, Bhumi pointed out a fresh flare-up, blaming stress, bad diet, and constant travel.
“Every time I travel, eat wrong, or stress out — boom, my eczema shows up. It’s so frustrating, painful, and uncomfortable,” she confessed.
But Bhumi isn’t just talking skin. Earlier the same day, the Badhaai Do star opened up about her bigger mission: using fame to empower India and uplift communities. “I wear my nationality as a badge of honor,” she said, stressing that her work is about more than entertainment — it’s about changing mindsets.
On the career front, Bhumi’s got a packed slate. She’ll soon play a cop in the web series Daldal, followed by a royal turn in the period drama Takht.
From breakouts to breaking barriers, Bhumi Pednekar is keeping it real — on and off screen.
Hrithik Roshan Spills on Playing Kabir in ‘War 2’: “It Felt Too Easy!”
MUMBAI– Hrithik Roshan is back as Kabir in War 2 — and he says the role felt almost too comfortable.
Taking to Instagram, the superstar confessed: “Playing Kabir was so much fun. So relaxed, knew him so well. It was going to be easy. Finally, a film I could just keep simple — play the actor, do my job, and go home.”
Hrithik praised director Ayan Mukerji for making the shoot a joy, saying, “I was taken care of so well by my director. Such a pleasure to have his energy on set.”
But even while things seemed “too perfect,” the Dhoom 2 actor admitted battling doubts: “A voice kept saying — this is too easy. But another said — I deserve it. Not every film has to be torture and trauma. Relax.”
Meanwhile, Tiger Shroff, who co-starred with Hrithik in the 2019 blockbuster War, marked the film’s six-year anniversary by calling it “a life changing experience.” He dropped nostalgic clips and gushed over his “hero” Hrithik and director Siddharth Anand.
With War 2 heating up, fans can expect Kabir’s return to be just as explosive — even if Hrithik makes it look effortless.
