Bhagyashree recently treated her fans to a nostalgic moment by sharing a video of herself dancing to Lata Mangeshkar’s evergreen classic, ‘Gum Hai Kisi Ke Pyar Mein’, The performance beautifully celebrated the timeless appeal of the iconic melody, reminding viewers of the simplicity and elegance that defined the golden era of Hindi film music.

In the video, Bhagyashree is seen gracefully performing to the beloved track while also singing along to the lyrics. Dressed in a stylish Anarkali suit paired with matching jewellery, the actress effortlessly complemented the mood of the classic song with her elegant expressions and dance moves.

Sharing the video on social media, Bhagyashree reflected on how romance was once expressed through subtle emotions rather than grand gestures. She captioned the post, “#myfavsongsbyb Do you remember when love had a different language? A little shy, a little hesitant, a little longing, a little anticipation..... when words were fewer and a look said it all. Have you ever felt love like that? #musicforever #1900s.”

The actress has often expressed her fondness for evergreen Bollywood music by recreating iconic songs through dance videos. Her latest post is another example of her appreciation for timeless melodies that continue to resonate with audiences across generations.

A few days earlier, Bhagyashree had also given fans a glimpse of her getaway to Udaipur with her husband, Himalaya Dassani. Sharing pictures from the trip, she offered snapshots of the couple enjoying special moments together during a birthday celebration. Alongside the photos, she wrote, “Wild, wild west! What a weekend... Witty's birthday celebration!.”

On the work front, Bhagyashree married Himalaya Dassani in 1989, and the couple has two children, Abhimanyu Dassani and Avantika Dassani. Abhimanyu made his Bollywood debut with Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota in 2019, while Avantika entered the entertainment industry with the web series Mithya.

Professionally, Bhagyashree was last seen in the 2023 thriller Sajini Shinde Ka Viral Video. She later made a special appearance in the comedy-drama streaming series Life Hill Gayi, continuing to stay connected with audiences through selective projects while also sharing glimpses of her personal life and love for classic Bollywood music on social media.

With the trailer of Awarapan 2 set to launch on August 6, anticipation around Emraan Hashmi’s much-awaited sequel continues to grow. The film, which arrives in cinemas on August 14 during the Independence Day holiday weekend, will face competition from Sunny Deol’s Batwara 1947. Despite the high-profile box office clash, producer Vishesh Bhatt has expressed confidence and gratitude, saying the release date was chosen with audiences in mind rather than competition.

Addressing the much-discussed clash, Vishesh Bhatt said, “We came on the date that seemed best. It's our first release coming into 14th August on a holiday and it's our fortune and luck that we get to share this release date with the legend Sunny Deol and and it's with a lot of humility we would like to bring the film on a holiday so more people can also come and watch this film.”

#Awaarapan2 producer Vishesh Bhatt answers the question on the Independence Day clash with #Batwara1947.

He says it's THEIR fortune to share this release date with the LEGEND SUNNY DEOL ♥️

ALL the best to them as well!!

Healthy clash ho jaye....!! #SunnyDeol pic.twitter.com/8R3R3bhzki — Deva Ki Adaalat (@SunnyDeolFanHu) August 4, 2026

His remarks reflect the makers’ positive outlook towards the festive release window, which traditionally draws large crowds to theatres. Instead of viewing the simultaneous release as a rivalry, Bhatt emphasized that the holiday period offers moviegoers an opportunity to enjoy multiple films on the big screen.

Awarapan 2 marks the return of Emraan Hashmi as Shivam Pandit nearly two decades after the original Awarapan earned cult status among fans. The sequel also stars Disha Patani, Shabana Azmi, Suvinder Vicky and Vijayant Kohli, promising a blend of action, romance and emotional drama while carrying forward the legacy of the 2007 film.

Music has always been one of the biggest strengths of the Awarapan franchise. Songs like ‘Tera Mera Rishta,’ ‘Toh Phir Aao,’ and ‘Maula Maula’ continue to enjoy immense popularity years after the original film's release. Keeping that legacy alive, the makers have already hinted that Awarapan 2 will feature a fresh soundtrack while retaining the soulful musical identity that made the first film memorable. The music is expected to play a key role in connecting both old fans and a new generation of audiences.

With nostalgia, music, and Emraan Hashmi reprising one of his most loved characters, Awarapan 2 is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated releases of the Independence Day weekend.

Singer Neha Bhasin has publicly criticised actor Bhumi Pednekar over her recent comments on the language used by protesters during the CJP-led NEET-UG 2026 demonstrations. Bhumi's statement, which urged young protesters to avoid using abusive language while expressing their anger, had already sparked widespread debate on social media. Many users argued that the actor focused on the protesters' choice of words instead of addressing the alleged police action during the demonstrations.

The controversy stems from Bhumi's Instagram video, where she expressed concern over videos showing protesters using offensive language against Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Emphasising the importance of maintaining respect, she said, “Looking at the videos surfacing now, the kind of language being used, and the way the youth of our country are speaking — the youth of our country... this isn't how we talk, man. We are talking about someone who holds the highest office in the land today. And it’s not just about the office; would we ever speak like this to the elders in our own homes? Can we really resort to using abusive language?” She further added, “Guys, this isn't our culture; it’s wrong, and this really bothered me — that’s why I wanted to come forward and address this: a country will only progress and move forward when, collectively and unitedly, we discuss our flaws as well as the good things. Our culture and value system form our backbone; we shouldn't stray from them, otherwise, we won't be able to communicate the right things in the right way, and they will never be implemented or lead to change.”

However, Bhumi's remarks drew criticism from several social media users, who questioned why she did not address the reported use of force against students during the July 20 Sansad March. Videos circulating online allegedly showed protesters being lathi-charged, tear-gassed and assaulted by police personnel, prompting demands for accountability. Joining the criticism, Neha Bhasin shared a strongly worded post questioning the silence over the alleged police conduct. She wrote, “I would have really respected our dear PM more if there was calling out of police for openly, inappropriately touching women during the protests as he is offended by the use of gaalis. He himself said these are kids. But the police is appointed to protect and abide by the law. So why is there no accountability there.” The singer also took a direct dig at Bhumi, stating, “Bhumi Pednekar Lock Upp pe bhi scripted thi aur protests ko lekar bhi. Gooda nahi hai toh chup rehna best hai behen (She was scripted in Lock Upp and also about the protests. Sometimes its best to keep your mouth shut)." Bhumi had recently appeared as Janta Ki Awaz alongside Huma Qureshi in the Judgment Day episode of Lock Upp, hosted by Farah Khan and Riteish Deshmukh. The controversy comes against the backdrop of nationwide protests over the alleged NEET-UG 2026 paper leak. Organised by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), thousands of students gathered at Delhi's Jantar Mantar demanding reforms in the education system and the resignation of the Education Minister following several student suicides. Although Dharmendra Pradhan later resigned, protesters have continued to press for broader reforms. The demonstrations intensified after the July 20 march towards Parliament, when videos purportedly showing police using batons, tear gas and physical force against protesters surfaced online, triggering widespread outrage.

Priyanka Chopra has once again offered fans a heartwarming glimpse into her personal life by sharing a new Instagram video that highlights two different sides of her personality. Posted on Monday, the clip captures the actor embracing both her role as a loving mother and her fun-loving side with friends. The video comes amid a series of family updates that Priyanka and her husband, singer Nick Jonas, have been sharing with fans, giving a closer look at their everyday life with daughter Malti Marie.

The video begins with a peaceful and intimate mother-daughter moment. Priyanka is seen teaching little Malti Marie the sacred 'Sarva Mangala Mangalaye' mantra, which is dedicated to Goddess Durga. The calm interaction reflects the nurturing side of the actor, perfectly matching the "mama" caption she used in her post. The touching exchange showcases the special bond the mother and daughter share while also introducing Malti to a traditional prayer. The mood of the video then changes as Priyanka transitions from family time to a lively gathering with friends. In the second half of the clip, the 44-year-old actor is seen dancing joyfully, embracing the playful energy she described as her "mamacita" side. The contrast between the two moments offers a glimpse into how Priyanka balances motherhood with enjoying lighthearted moments alongside close friends.

Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) president Raj Thackeray questioned actors Vivek Oberoi and R. Madhavan over their decision to live in Dubai despite publicly praising Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the development taking place in India. Speaking at an event organised by the Maharashtra Navnirman Vidyarthi Sena, the student wing of the MNS, in Mumbai on Saturday, Thackeray criticised what he described as a growing trend of prominent personalities and industrialists moving abroad.

Referring to Vivek Oberoi, who portrayed Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the 2019 biographical film based on the PM, Thackeray remarked, “Vivek Oberoi, who made a film on Modi and played Modi's role in it, has also gone to live in Dubai.” He also questioned R. Madhavan's decision to reside in Dubai and said, “R Madhavan who praised PM Modi - where does he live? He lives in Dubai. So if you love India so much, if you love PM Modi, if they believe that PM Modi is developing India, then why are they living in a foreign land? Why are they living in Dubai with their families?” Thackeray further alleged, “They will come here, work in a government-sponsored film like Dhurandhar and then will go back to Dubai.” Madhavan has previously stated that he relocated to Dubai during the COVID-19 pandemic to support his son's swimming career, while Vivek Oberoi has said he moved there to expand his business interests. During the same address, Thackeray also spoke about the language used against Prime Minister Modi during the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) protests at Delhi's Jantar Mantar. Referring to the Prime Minister's response that such "misguided children" should be forgiven and guided, Thackeray said, “I agree with it (PM's statement). No one should use a language of such a low level. But he should tell people of his own party.” He alleged that BJP troll groups frequently target public figures, including Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru, Indira Gandhi, and members of the Thackeray family. According to him, several actors now avoid expressing their opinions publicly because of online trolling. Thackeray added that abusive language should not be used against anyone and remarked, “Even they (BJP supporters) should be asked to stop (from using derogatory language). BJP troll teams started this. As you sow, so shall you reap.” He also said the NEET paper leak controversy may have sparked the CJP protests, but the large public participation reflected accumulated grievances built up over the years.
