Shilpa Shetty Marks 25 Years of ‘Dhadkan’… With Ice Cream!
MUMBAI — It’s been 25 years since the tear-jerking, chart-topping romantic drama Dhadkan hit theaters, and Shilpa Shetty found the sweetest way to celebrate.
The Bollywood beauty posted a clip of herself cozying up in front of the TV, playing the film’s iconic title track — while indulging in a kullad of ice cream. The actress even lip-synced along, before cheekily declaring, “I’m getting the same feeling while eating this!”
Released on August 11, 2000, the Dharmesh Darshan directorial starred Shilpa, Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty, and Mahima Chaudhry, and went on to become a box office smash with one of the year’s best-selling soundtracks.
The Wuthering Heights-inspired tale of love, betrayal, and second chances has since earned cult classic status.
Shilpa’s next big-screen outing is in the Kannada action drama KD: The Devil, hitting theaters September 4, alongside Sanjay Dutt and Nora Fatehi.

Farhan Akhtar Gets Sentimental About His Dogs: ‘Not Sure Who’s Caring for Who’
MUMBAI — Farhan Akhtar may be gearing up for the big-screen war epic 120 Bahadur, but at home, it’s all about puppy love.
The actor-filmmaker took to Instagram on Monday to share a sweet snap of four stacked dog beds labeled with the names of his beloved pets — Rumi, Gigi, Tyson, and Jimmy. “Seeing these 4 beds stacked together fills my heart with so much happiness and gratitude,” he wrote. “I don’t know if we take care of them or they of us.”
Farhan and wife Shibani Dandekar have three adopted Indian breeds — Tyson, Jimmy, and Rumi — and welcomed Gigi, their latest furry family member, last October. The Dil Chahta Hai star often gives fans glimpses of his four-legged squad on social media.
Off-screen, Farhan recently made headlines for backing director Aanand L. Rai in the Raanjhanaa AI-edit controversy, saying his loyalty is always with the creator when their work is changed without consent.
120 Bahadur is set to bring Farhan back to theaters soon — but for now, it seems his heart belongs to the dogs.
Soni Razdan Meets the Dalai Lama: ‘Some Experiences Don’t Need Words’
MUMBAI — Actress Soni Razdan is still pinching herself after meeting His Holiness the Dalai Lama. The Raazi star shared photos from the serene encounter, writing: “I still can’t believe
I was fortunate enough to meet His Holiness… Some experiences don’t need words. Pure feeling is enough. Gratitude for this very special experience.”
The rare meeting was arranged during her travels, and Razdan credited those who made it possible, adding a folded hands emoji to her post.
Just days earlier, Razdan made waves for revealing her personal connection to historic injustice while speaking out on Palestine. She shared that her grandfather bravely ran an underground anti-Hitler newspaper in Nazi Germany — a move that landed him in prison and a concentration camp before he was freed on the condition he never return.
Praising his courage, Razdan said she was “glad he isn’t alive to see” today’s violence, claiming it would have broken him. She stressed that, just as many Germans opposed Hitler, many Jews oppose what’s happening in Palestine — but few show the same bravery her grandfather did.

“No matter how tall you get, you’ll always be my little one… Happy birthday, Rann!” she wrote.
The wishes poured in from Bollywood friends — Anupam Kher, Raveena Tandon, and Farah Khan all chimed in, while celebs like Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Manisha Koirala hit the like button. The proud parents, Sonali and filmmaker husband Goldie Behl, also threw a bash at their Mumbai home for close friends.
The couple, who first met on the set of Sonali’s 1994 film Naaraaz, tied the knot in 2002 and welcomed Ranveer in 2005.
Recently, Sonali reflected on how the internet has sped up generational shifts, saying young people now change their outlook every few years — and rarely want advice. “They have Google, ChatGPT — every answer is at their fingertips,” she quipped.
Salman Khan Wants a ‘Chor-Police’ League — and He’s Not Kidding
MUMBAI — Forget cricket and kabaddi — Salman Khan has his eyes on the real games. The superstar made a surprise appearance at the Season 3 kick-off of the World Padel League
and joked about launching leagues for childhood classics like marbles, gilli-danda, chain cook, hide-and-seek… and yes, “chor-police.”
