Actor Sonam Khan recently took a nostalgic trip down memory lane as she shared a throwback video featuring the late Rishi Kapoor from her debut film Vijay, directed by Yash Chopra. Posting the clip on social media with the song ‘Ghafoor’ playing in the background, Sonak captioned it, “And just like that I started my journey with a bikini and a chocolate… Unabashedly…  Lights, camera, sound, and action! It was my first day ever facing the camera for the silver screen.”

Recalling the making of her first-ever scene, Sonam revealed that Yash Chopra was inspired by Bo Derek’s iconic beach run from the Hollywood film 10 — a moment that shaped her introduction sequence in Vijay. She shared, “I was surprisingly at ease during the shoot and kept eating Five Star chocolate bars throughout the day. That’s how I started my love affair with Five Star chocolate. I used to eat a couple of them during every shoot from then on, as I thought they were lucky for me. (A teenager’s mind is a tricky thing at times.)”

She also fondly remembered the professionalism and warmth of the late filmmaker and Rishi Kapoor. “Whenever Yash ji said ‘cut’ after a take, my hairstylist would come running towards me with my dressing gown. I was made to feel extremely comfortable, all thanks to Yash ji and Rishi Kapoor Sir. They had so much class and dignity,” she wrote.

Sonam concluded her post with a bittersweet reflection, sharing that Yash Chopra had later offered her Aaina, but she couldn’t take it up as she got married at 18 and stepped away from films. “Nonetheless, my dear friend Amrita Singh did a fabulous job in Aaina,” she added.

Her heartfelt post offered fans a glimpse into the charm and grace of Bollywood’s golden era and the sweet beginning of her journey with a Five Star in hand.

The sixth episode of Two Much With Kajol And Twinkle featured Manish Malhotra and Sonakshi Sinha and the unusual BFFs made for a great watch. Both raised laughs as they went down memory lane and also spoke about the struggles of women.

Farah Khan said, “We have all gone through that time in our 20s where we think that if we don’t marry this person, then what will happen? Oh my god, I have prayed and walked nanga pair (barefoot) to Haji Ali because I wanted to marry this boy. Thank God, Haji Ali didn’t answer my prayer!”

She also revealed, “Even when my movie was not happening, when I wasn’t directing, I said chal (come on), let me do YouTube, because I can see the skew. Also, I have 3 kids who are going to university next year, and that’s bloody expensive. So, I just said for a lark, let me start a show on YouTube, and that just clicked. Your life can’t revolve around another person. I feel happiness has to come from within and from your work. Work actually gives me a lot of pleasure. Also, I feel that for me, I can work till I’m 80 because my work doesn’t depend on either my looks or clearly, not my body, ever!”

She fondly recalled her 2010 heist film, Tees Maar Khan (2010), that starred Twinkle Khanna’s husband, Akshay Kumar, “Contrary to the perception, it made Rs. 65 crores, 15 years ago. It’s a Gen Z cult film. In fact, when you ask which movie I should make a part 2 to, they write Tees Maar Khan.”

Twinkle added, “An early bird that eats the worm did tell me that there are some talks about Tees Maar Khan Part 2.” Ananya excitedly asked, “Can I be in it?” To which Farah responded, “Ya, you can be in it. You can be Katrina’s younger sister.” Kajol remarked, “She could be Sheila’s sister, Leela!”

The sixth episode of Two Much With Kajol And Twinkle featured Manish Malhotra and Sonakshi Sinha and the unusual BFFs made for a great watch. They brought the house down as they talked about Ananya’s father, Chunky Panday. Farah said, “I had a crush on Chunky…mine was ek tarfa pyaar.”

Ananya Panday revealed, “Even Malaika Arora had a poster of my dad in her room.” Kajol and Twinkle Khanna were surprised to know he had such a craze. Farah remarked, “Chunky was a sex symbol.”

Ananya Panday shared a hilarious trivia about her father, “He’s constantly in his towel. I have to tell him, ‘My friends are coming home, my work people are coming home. Please put a shirt on’. Also, he doesn’t lock the bathroom door. He reasons, ‘It's my house. Why should I lock the bathroom?’.” Farah joked, “Now, when I come to your house, I know where to head!”

This is when Ananya told Farah, “My dad wants his shirt back from you!” A puzzled Twinkle asked, “Why do you have his shirt? To smell it at night.” Farah made a face and exulted, “Chhee, no!”

Ananya shared the story behind the shirt, “She was talking on the phone and she was having a very frantic conversation. At that time, my dog was really unwell. So, he was a little blind. He was peeing at random spots. She was having this frantic conversation and she slipped on the pee. She has gone flying! We have it on CCTV camera.”

Farah confessed, “Chunky sent that video to his entire family chat group!” She added, “I had to then obviously shower and he gave 50 rupaye ka Goa ka shirt, the one that you get on Baga Beach. This happened some 3 years ago and he still wants that shirt back.”

Twinkle Khanna quipped, “Now Dilip is using it as a pochha.” Farah agreed, “100%!”

Ananya Panday and Farah Khan recently appeared together on the Amazon Prime Video talk show Two Much With Twinkle and Kajol, and what unfolded on the couch was nothing short of a laughter riot. The episode saw the young actress narrating a side-splitting story about filmmaker Farah Khan and her father Chunky Panday — and it all began with an unexpected question about a t-shirt.

Ananya recalled asking Farah to return her father’s t-shirt, which left everyone puzzled. Host Twinkle Khanna jokingly quipped if Farah was secretly “smelling it at night,” prompting bursts of laughter from the audience. But Farah quickly clarified, explaining that she had only visited Chunky’s house — and that’s where the hilarious chain of events began.

Narrating the incident, Ananya said, “I don’t know what she was doing. She was talking on the phone. It was a very frantic conversation. And my dog at that time was really unwell and a little blind, so he was peeing at random spots. She’s on this frantic call, and suddenly she goes flying in the pee and slips! We even have it on CCTV camera.”

The revelation left Twinkle and Kajol in splits as Farah added, “One minute I was fine, and the next, Chunky had already sent the CCTV footage to our entire family group!” Ananya then shared how Farah ended up wearing her dad’s shirt after the incident.

Farah hilariously recalled, “Obviously I had to shower. Chunky gave me one of his shirts — a cheap one worth 50 rupees from Goa. You know those you get at Baga Beach? This was about three years ago, and he still wants it back!”

Keeping the laughter going, Twinkle remarked, “Now Dilip must be using it as a pocha,” to which Farah agreed, “100%! We’re using it as a pocha at home.”

On the professional front, Ananya Panday is currently gearing up for two major releases — Tu Mera Main Teri, Main Teri Tu Mera opposite Kartik Aaryan and Chand Mera Dil alongside Lakshya, both produced by Dharma Productions.

This light-hearted episode once again proved that when Bollywood’s wittiest personalities come together, laughter and chaos are guaranteed in equal measure.

2025 is truly the year of Harshvardhan Rane. In February, his much-loved love saga, Sanam Teri Kasam, re-released in cinemas and emerged as the biggest re-run hit of all time. On Diwali, his film, Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat, released despite several challenges. Yet, it managed to succeed based on the support of the mass audience and is all set to cross the Rs. 75 crore mark. In a rare instance, Harshvardhan Rane and co-star Sonam Bajwa didn’t do any pre-release promotions. Once the film scored at the ticket window, the actor set on a ‘vijay yatra’, that is, roadshows in the mass centres in the hinterland. The way the fans mobbed him is seen to be believed. It was also heartening as well as a bit scary to see Harshvardhan jumping into the crowd. A video, shot in Jaipur’s iconic cinema, Raj Mandir, shows the dashing performer being pulled by the fans on one side and the security team from the other, the latter saving him from getting hurt in the process.

Back from the roadshow, Harshvardhan Rane, in an exclusive interview with Bollywood Hungama, spoke about this promotional exercise. While other actors prefer to keep a distance, the actor is an exception. We asked him about it. In his trademark style, Harshvardhan said, “Har sheher mein fans ke nakhuno se mera thoda sa khoon nikla hai. Lekin mera khoon ab mera nahi, unka hai (smiles)!”

Working on the back stories

Chatting with Harshvardhan Rane is always an enriching experience as his replies are never the usual, even for the usual questions. And when the questions are pointed towards his process of working on a film, you can be assured of an in-depth, fascinating answer.

This is what happened when the writer asked him about director Milap Zaveri’s recent revelation, in an exclusive interview to Bollywood Hungama, that Harshvardhan Rane gave valuable inputs to the script of Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat, especially the entire mother track.

Has Harshvardhan done this in the past as well? He replied, “I have given inputs in all my films (laughs). It is the greatness of Milap sir that he is even talking about it. Any other director would never confess about it. It shows how secure that man is that he even gave me the credit for adding a few vital points.”

Harshvardhan Rane said, “I feel it is a basic responsibility of an actor to give options. I am not saying to compulsorily incorporate my suggestion. Some other directors might not be as accommodating and I understand and respect that. The other basic responsibility of an actor is to write a back story. I wrote the whole backstory of my character in Taish (2020). I wrote the back story related to the tattoo in Sanam Teri Kasam (2016). The director in the film asked me to lift the cat. I asked the reason behind it. He told me, ‘Beta, billi hai. Usko utha ke doodh pila de. Isme kya sawaal puch raha hai’ (laughs)!”

He added, “It so happened that we didn’t shoot the cat scene that day. I went home and wrote the back story – Inder was jailed as a juvenile. It was cold and he heard the cries of a kitten from the prison ventilation window. Inder spoke to some people, begged in front of them and arranged for a packet of biscuits. He threw the biscuit from the ventilation. He heard the kitten consuming it. This happened for a week until one day, he heard a pack of dogs attacking the cat. From that day, he didn’t hear the sound of the cat. This episode formed a huge scar in his formative heart in those delicate years of his life. And this incident made him pick up a cat whenever he saw one.”

Harshvardhan continued, “For just that one small scene, I wrote at length. And I do this for every film (smiles). Writing a back story for an actor should be as common as walking on the left side of the street. In Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat, I wrote the entire track about my mother as well as my father. I formed a bond with Shaad Randhawa. If you watch the film again, notice that I always look back at him while I am speaking. This wasn’t mentioned in any scene. Even if I am talking in some other direction, I would touch him or hold him.”

Earlier this year, in March 2025, at the 25th IIFA Awards 2025 held in Jaipur, Boney Kapoor confirmed that he’s making a film with Khushi Kapoor and that it could be a sequel to Mom (2017), starring his wife and Khushi’s mother, the late Sridevi. It has now come to light that the film is indeed titled Mom 2. Yesterday, pictures from the sets surfaced on the internet. Bollywood Hungama has now learned some interesting stuff about the film.

A source told Bollywood Hungama, “Mom 2 went on floors just after Diwali, on October 26, in Mumbai. Nearly 10-11 days of the shoot have been completed and it is progressing well. Khushi Kapoor plays a crucial part and she’s joined by Karishma Tanna.”

The source further said, “Mom was directed by Ravi Udyawar. The sequel, however, is directed by Girish Kohli. He was one of the story writers of the first part and also single-handedly wrote its screenplay and dialogues. Producer Boney Kapoor realized that he will do justice to Mom 2 as he knows this series well and hence, gave him the responsibility. Also, Girish has proved his worth with the Sohum Shah-starrer Crazxy, which released earlier this year.”

The source also revealed, “There’s a chatter that Boney Kapoor plans to announce this film in a grand fashion on his birthday, which falls on November 11. A clearer idea on this front will emerge in a few days.”

At the 25th IIFA Awards, Boney Kapoor had stated, “I have watched all of Khushi’s films – The Archies, Loveyapa and Nadaniyaan. I am planning a film with her too, after No Entry 2. It could be Mom 2. She is trying to follow in the footsteps of her mother. Her mother was the top star in all the languages she worked in. I hope Khushi and Janhvi succeeded in this same level of perfection.”

Meanwhile, fans are hoping that Boney’s other much-awaited film, No Entry 2, also goes on floors soon. It is the sequel to 2005’s biggest hit, No Entry.

At a recent fan event celebrating his 60th birthday, Shah Rukh Khan delighted his fans by offering a glimpse into his much-anticipated film King, directed by Siddharth Anand. The actor, who has long been celebrated as Bollywood’s “King of Romance,” revealed that even though the film will feature him in an action-packed avatar, the element of love won’t be missing.

When a fan curiously asked if they would get to see the trademark SRK brand of romance in King, the superstar responded with his characteristic wit and charm. “Mere saath film mein Deepika Padukone bhi hai. Pyaar toh zaroor hoga (Deepika Padukone is there in the film. So there will be romance)!” he quipped, hinting that his chemistry with Deepika will once again light up the big screen.

However, Khan refrained from giving away too many details about the film’s plot. “I don’t want to give out too much of the story of King. Once more and more assets come up, you’ll know more about the film. There are several characters in the film,” he shared, adding that the story explores deeper themes of choices and morality. “The idea behind the film is that we end up taking big decisions when we end up taking things personally. We should think whether what we are doing is right or not. Also, we are not going to take any sides in King. If you like our thought, then do follow it. Ya fir burai hi karte rehna!”

The Siddharth Anand directorial features a powerhouse ensemble including Deepika Padukone, Abhishek Bachchan, Anil Kapoor, Rani Mukerji, and Arshad Warsi. The film is also set to mark the much-awaited theatrical debut of Suhana Khan, who will share the screen with her father for the first time. Additionally, young talents like Abhay Verma and Raghav Juyal play pivotal roles.

Shah Rukh and Deepika’s on-screen partnership has been one of Bollywood’s most cherished. From Om Shanti Om and Chennai Express to Pathaan and his National Award-winning Jawan, their collaborations have always struck gold at the box office. With King, the duo is all set to reunite once again — this time blending high-octane action with the timeless romance that fans can never get enough of.
