Amidst the grand success of Brahmastra, new producer-entrepreneur Alia Bhatt has decided to add yet another feather to her cap. After launching the brand Ed-A-Mamma, which was solely dedicated to kids’ wear, the mother-to-be has launched her collection of maternity wear. In a recent post shared by the actress, announcing the launch of her maternity wear, she mentioned that she modified her own clothes to be her maternity wear because she believes there isn’t enough explored when it comes to maternity fashion. At the recent Forbes event Tycoons of Tomorrow, where Alia Bhatt was one of the speakers, the actress spoke about launching this new collection.

In the recent Forbes event, Alia Bhatt opened up about her ‘investor’ side where she spoke about her entrepreneurial skills and what pushed her to start her maternity line. “What started off as a gap in my wardrobe turned out to be a whole maternity line,” she said. She also revealed that she was wearing her own maternity line at the event. “These are really comfy lounge pants. It’s Ed-A-Mamma, Maternity Wear. This was like a lounge set but the layer was not making any sense. It was looking like I was coming to the lounge like a Forbes event. So I paired it up with this blazer which is not mine. But that’s what I discovered! The maternity wear was all a certain style which was screaming maternity. I wanted to bring my own style into it which is what I did,” added the actress.

Speaking of her forthcoming films, Alia Bhatt is currently gearing up for the release of her Hollywood debut Heart of Stone where she co-stars an ensemble cast including Gal Gadot. She also has Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani with Ranveer Singh, in the pipeline. Coming to Ed-A-Mamma, the actress will be launching the new collection of maternity wear on October 1.

The recently released mystery thriller, Amazon Prime series Hush Hush has been creating a lot of chatter. The series, which features some of the biggest 90s stars like Juhi Chawla and Ayesha Jhulka along with Soha Ali Khan as well as popular TV celebs like Kritika Kamra and Karishma Tanna, is regarded as a Whodunit. The suspense in the series is expected to leave the audience on the edge of their seats. Ending the season on a cliffhanger, Hush Hush leaves a lot of questions unanswered, hinting at the second season’s arrival soon, especially with a focus on Kritika Kamra’s character as Dolly.

For the uninitiated, Hush Hush is a story that revolves around five rich women who get involved in a heinous crime at a party one night. After the nail-biting climax at the season finale, the story would now take a turn with Dolly and her family’s internal struggle that reflects on the entire group. Hence, as the show proceeds with its next season, it is speculated to have Kritika Kamra leading the show with new twists and turns in Dolly’s life. A source close to the actress said, “From drama to politics, the second season will leave no barriers to hold the audience’s interest, exploring new facets of Kritika Kamra’s diverse versatility. Having impressed the audience with a range of characters through Tandav and other shows, Hush Hush amongst others, audiences have solid expectations from the talented and versatile actress for her upcoming projects.”

As for an official announcement, the makers are yet to confirm about the arrival of the second season of Hush Hush. The first season of the show is currently streaming on Amazon Prime.
