Saba Azad and Hrithik Roshan made their relationship official in May 2022. Since then, the couple has also not shied away from social media PDA. Case in point – Saba's birthday note for Hrithik Roshan. She wrote, "50 whirls around the sun and what a beautiful ride you've had, here's to choosing love every day the way you do for another 100. Happy birthday my Love. You are the light." Replying to the post, Hrithik Roshan said, “Thank you Sa… Last 2 whirls were the best,” presumably referring to their relationship.

Last year, Saba Azad also spoke candidly about dating a massive superstar like Hrithik Roshan. She told India Today, “It's taken me quite some time to come to a place where I treat everything else as white noise because hatred is palpable. I am not made of stone, it hits you. You feel like s***. There are days when you wake up and you wonder what did I do to anyone. What did I do to you? I am living my life, you live yours? Why are you waiting for my blood...But at some point you realise you are not responsible for how people think and what they are projecting on you are what they are going through. It has nothing to do with you. Once you realise that, peace prevails.”

Saba Azad has appeared in projects such as Mujhse Fraaandship Karoge, Feels Like Ishq, Who's Your Gynac? and Rocket Boys 2, among others.

Neetu Kapoor On Ranbir Kapoor's Bond With His Daughter Raha: "He Is A Hands-On Father"

Bollywood veteran Neetu Kapoor and her children Ranbir Kapoor and Riddhima Kapoor made an appearance as guests on the first episode of The Great Indian Kapil Show. This comedy show, headlined by Kapil Sharma, premiered on Netflix. During the conversation, Neetu Kapoor spoke about how her son Ranbir is quite different from his late father, Rishi Kapoor when it comes to parenthood. She mentioned, “His expressions are reserved for cinema. In real life, he doesn't react that much to things. For the first time, when Raha enters, you should see his face. It's full of expression. He gets very excited. He is the best father. Alia (Bhatt) is a good mother. She is outstanding but he is a hands-on father. I have seen many fathers but I have seen none like him. He is the opposite of his father (Rishi Kapoor). My husband was never very good with children.”

Ranbir Kapoor married actress Alia Bhatt in April 2022. The couple welcomed their daughter Raha in November of the same year.

In the same show, Neetu Kapoor also shared insights into how Ranbir Kapoor has transformed since Raha's birth. She remarked, “Ranbir has changed a lot after becoming a father. He has become so caring.” Riddhima Kapoor added to this sentiment, saying, “He is such a lovely, amazing father.”

While discussing his bond with little Raha, Ranbir Kapoor said, “I don't feel like doing anything. I don't want to shoot, I don't want to go anywhere. I want to sit at home and just look at her. I haven't felt like this ever in my life. Now I understand how mom used to feel about me and Riddhima.”

On the work front, Ranbir Kapoor was last seen in the blockbuster film Animal. The movie also featured Bobby Deol, Rashmika Mandanna, Triptii Dimri, and Anil Kapoor in pivotal roles. Up next, Ranbir is all set to appear in projects like Animal Park, Ramayan, and Love And War.

Avinash Tiwary On Bulbbul Co-Star Triptii Dimri's Film Animal's Success: "A Breakthrough Moment For Her..."

Actor Avinash Tiwary, who was last seen in the film Madgaon Express, recently discussed about his Laila Majnu co-star Triptii Dimri, who was termed India's "national crush" after her impactful appearance in the blockbuster film Animal alongside Ranbir Kapoor. Talking to Indian Express, the actor said "There was a breakthrough moment for her and all the credibility that she earned before that has given so much more love to her. I am hoping something like that would happen to me as well.” Besides Laila Majnu, Avinash and Triptii collaborated in the Netflix film Bulbbul.

Talking about his role in Madgaon Express, Avinash said, "I had three very intense shows just prior to Madgaon Express — Khakee, Bambai Meri Jaan and Kaala. It is not the right thing to say, and it's not true also that this was easier, but I would say it was less taxing for me to do Madgaon than all the other parts. Hence I felt a bit liberated. There was no burden of certain characteristics to maintain the gravity of intensity of the characters I was playing earlier. It gave me a breath of fresh air, made me feel lighter. I felt I could be more expressive as there was more freedom to do stuff and I enjoyed it. I also started wondering if by doing less taxing work I can make the audience react in this way then why am I doing so much mehnat (hard work)!”

Meanwhile Avinash latest film Madgaon Express witnessed a dip on its first Friday. On day 8, the film collected ₹85 lakh through ticket counters, as reported by Sacnilk. So far, this comedy-drama has amassed ₹14.35 crore at the domestic box office.

Shah Rukh Khan "Refused" To Take Any Money For The Forgotten Army, Reveals Director Kabir Khan

Filmmaker Kabir Khan recently praised the generosity of actor Shah Rukh Khan for lending his voice to his web series The Forgotten Army without charging a fee. Kabir Khan revealed that he decided to take a chance by proposing the idea to Shah Rukh Khan, who immediately agreed without any hesitation. In an interview with Mashable India, Kabir Khan reminisced about considering Shah Rukh Khan for the voiceover. He shared, "When I made The Forgotten Army and those who have seen it, before every episode, there is a 30-second introduction which has a voiceover giving you the historical context of that episode. I thought who should narrate and I thought Shah Rukh Khan should do it. I just took a shot and called him and said, ‘Shah Rukh, there is a series I have made on Azad Hind Fauj, will you voice it?' And once again without batting an eyelid, he said, ‘Of course.'”

Kabir Khan continued, expressing his gratitude for Shah Rukh Khan's gesture, stating, "He just came to the dubbing studio in Bandra. He did the voiceover for free. He refused to take any money. He did it because we have known each other for years and he has always been so gracious and generous with his affection. It was so special. He is somebody I have known since before he joined the industry. I was friends with Gauri."

For the unversed, The Forgotten Army narrates the tale of The Indian National Army, also known as Azad Hind Fauj. During the interview, Kabir also revealed an intriguing detail about Shah Rukh Khan's father and said, "This is something a lot of people don't know. Shah Rukh's father was very closely associated with General Shah Nawaz Khan and General Shah Nawaz Khan is one of the generals of Netaji's Azad Hind Fauj. He was among the top generals in Azad Hind Fauj and Shah Rukh's father was a close associate with him so he has a connection with Azad Hind Fauj." The Forgotten Army starred Sharvari Wagh and Sunny Kaushal in key roles.

Meanwhile, Kabir Khan's upcoming directorial venture is Chandu Champion, featuring Kartik Aaryan in the lead role.

Madgaon Express Box Office Collection Day 7: Kunal Kemmu's Film Witnesses A Dip

The one-week box office report for Madgaon Express is finally in. On day 7, the comedy-drama made a decent collection through ticket counters and minted ₹1.2 crore as per a Sacnilk report. With this, the directorial debut of Kunal Kemmu has collected a total of ₹13.50 crore at the domestic box office. Released on March 22, Madgaon Express tells the story of three childhood friends' trip to Goa that takes an unexpected turn. The film stars Pratik Gandhi, Divyenndu, and Avinash Tiwary in the lead roles. Madgaon Express is produced by Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani's Excel Entertainment.

On Thursday, Bollywood trade analyst and film critic Taran Adarsh posted a note on X (formerly known as Twitter) to share day 6 box office figures of Madgaon Express. He wrote, “#MadgaonExpress Fri 1.63 cr, Sat 2.72 cr, Sun 2.81 cr, Mon [#Holi] 2.72 cr, Tue 1.46 cr, Wed 1.21 cr. Total: ₹ 12.55 cr. #India biz. #Boxoffice.”

Take a look at Taran Adarsh's post below:

In his NDTV review, film critic Saibal Chatterjee said, “Madgaon Express is one rigmarole that never seems close to overstaying its welcome, with even the post-climax scenes - they interrupt the end credits in a novel, cockeyed fashion - springing loads of surprises and forcing the audience to hang on until it is all done and dusted.”

Saibal Chatterjee continued, “Apart from a script that never stops delivering generous doses of hilarity, the comic timing that the three actors achieve gives the riotous farce its vibrancy. Each of the three principal actors successfully employs his own style to fit the character he plays. In the guise of the stoic sceptic, Avinash Tiwari exudes strength and solidity, transmitting mirth with his measured underplaying.”

Nora Fatehi, Chhaya Kadam, and Remo D'Souza also play pivotal roles in Madgaon Express

Parineeti Chopra On Working With Amar Singh Chamkila Director Imtiaz Ali: "Waited More Than 9 Years..."

Actor Parineeti Chopra on Thursday said she had to audition for the role Amarjot in Netflix's Amar Singh Chamkila, a film that also fulfilled her wish of collaborating with director Imtiaz Ali.

Chopra, who earlier lent her voice to songs of her films Meri Pyaari Bindu and Kesari, said Ali and the film's composer, A R Rahman, wanted to test her singing skills before casting her in the biopic on the life of the slain Punjabi singer Amar Singh Chamkila.

She stars opposite Diljit Dosanjh, who plays the title role in the movie.

"I remember it was a Zoom call with Rahman sir, Imtiaz sir and Diljit. I thought it would be just an introduction but then Rahman sir asked me, 'Do you know how to sing?' I answered 'I like singing'. And then he said, 'Ok sing and show.' "I sang ‘Dama Dam Mast Qalandar' and whatever Punjabi songs I could sing. That's how he auditioned me,” Chopra said at the trailer launch of the film here.

The film revolves around the life and time of Amar Singh Chamkila, a popular Punjabi singer in the '80s who was shot dead with his singer-wife Amarjot in 1988.

Chopra said she was waiting to work with Ali, known for films such as Jab We Met, Rockstar and Love Aaj Kal, for almost a decade.

"I have been waiting to work with him for more than nine years. The day I had come into the movies, I had made a list of directors and sir's name was on number one. Even though I felt he would never work with me, I still put him on the list. Now, it has happened,” she said.

Working on Amar Singh Chamkila has spoiled her, added the actor.

“'Chamila' has ruined the experience of every other film that I am ever going to do now because I worked with the best director, co-star, and music director. I got to immortalise a person, musician and legend like Amarjot ji (on screen). I wonder what I will do in my next film.

“Shooting Chamkila was like meditation. It was full of music yet it was the calmest, most disciplined, beautiful, and harmonious set... By the end of the day, I used to feel fulfilled. It used to feel like I came back from a gurdwara. I think I have done something good in my life that sir gave this film to me,” Chopra said.

Amar Singh Chamkila will start streaming on Netflix from April 12.

Speaking to ETimes, Aaliya Siddiqui said, "In recent times, a few things have changed in my life. I felt that when we share bad things with the world, we should also share the good ones. I feel that what's good should also be seen. Nawaz was also here so we celebrated the anniversary together with the kids." A couple of days back, Aaliya shared a famjam picture featuring herself, Nawazuddin Siddiqui and their kids Shora and Yaani from her 14th wedding anniversary celebrations.

But now that misunderstanding is out of our lives. Because of our kids, we've completely surrendered. There's no option of being apart in life now, because the kids are also growing up. Also, Nawaz is very close to Shora and she was very disturbed after whatever happened. She couldn't tolerate it. So we decided that we are not going to fight and will live together, peacefully."

ICYMI, Aaliya Siddiqui shared a reel featuring a famjam picture on her anniversary. In another picture shared, Nawazuddin can be seen posing with his kids.  Aaliya Siddiqui wrote in the caption, "Celebrating 14 years of wedded bliss with my one and only. Anniversary cheers." Take a look:

Aaliya had previously accused Nawazuddin Siddiqui and his family of harassment at the time of divorce. In March last year, Aaliya claimed the actor had thrown her and their two children out of his house. They were advised by the Bombay High Court to resolve their differences amicably. Prior to this, Aaliya's lawyer Rizwan Siddiquee had received the settlement draft from Nawazuddin Siddiqui. The settlement had come days after a defamation suit was filed against Aaliya.

Ila Arun Criticises Choli Ke Peeche Remix For Crew: "I Am Shaken Up By This"

Ila Arun, one of the original singers of the iconic song Choli Ke Peeche from the 1993 movie Khalnayak, recently shared her thoughts on the song's remake for the film Crew, starring Kareena Kapoor, Tabu, and Kriti Sanon. In an interview with India Today, Ila Arun expressed her disappointment with the lack of communication from the music company, Tips, regarding the remake. Ila Arun revealed that she was informed just five minutes before the release of the remixed version of Choli Ke Peeche and was asked for her blessings. While she gave her blessings, Ila Arun admitted feeling "dumbfounded" and unable to question the decision to remake the original song. She praised the iconic status of the song, its orchestration by Laxmikant-Pyarelal, and the performances of Madhuri Dixit and Neena Gupta.

"Firstly, I would like to make it very clear that I have a very good relationship with Tips. Having said that, they called me five minutes before the launch of the song and asked my blessing. What else I could do, except give them my blessings? "

Ila Arun added, "I was dumbfounded but couldn't ask them why have you done this? So my reaction to the song is exactly what Alka Yagnik's reaction is. I feel Choli Ke Peeche is such an iconic song. What a fantastic orchestration by Laxmikant–Pyarelal and the world has danced to this colourful tune for years now. It's a beautiful song written by Anand Bakshi and performed by Madhuri Dixit and Neena Gupta."

In the same interview, Ila Arun also spoke about the importance of informing the original artists involved in a song's creation if it is to be remade, describing it as an ethical obligation. Ila Arun expressed her disappointment with the lack of communication and compensation for the original artists, stating that while she appreciates the recognition, she feels shaken by the situation and believes that if profits are made from the remake, the original artists should be compensated.

She said, "I don't want to create any controversy. The fact is that everyone is complimenting me that I am rocking, but am I not rocking, I am shaken up by this. Even the younger generation is calling me and telling me that my song has been recreated and Kareena Kapoor Khan is dancing to the number, but what can I do about that? I can only say I am dumbfounded. In my opinion, if you want to recreate, you should work with the original artists and keep them in the loop. And if you are making any profit, then they also should get compensation for it."
