Shahid Kapoor and Mira Rajput, who are currently proud parents to two children, have often opened up about parenting and what it is like to raise two children. However, the latter made a rather shocking revelation recently when she addressed the issue of miscarriage and shared that she herself was on the verge of suffering one during her first pregnancy.

Mira Rajput reveals about being admitted in the hospital after the first four months

In a podcast with Prakhar Gupta, Mira Rajput said, “Not many people know this, but when I was pregnant with my daughter, it was my first pregnancy. And you are like, oh, I am 21-20, whatever… I am healthy, and I am like very fit and the prime of my life in terms of having kids. What is the worse can happen, and I almost miscarried when I was four months pregnant. Came back and had this sonography and the doctor tells me that lie down right now.” She also continued about how the doctor admitted her immediately and even told her that she could lose her baby any moment due to her condition.

Mira Rajput also opens up about Shahid Kapoor setting up a hospital at home

Mira mentioned that she couldn’t be in the atmosphere more than a couple of months and added, “At the end of two and a half months, I wanted to get out from there, but couldn’t get off the bed, so Shahid spoke to my doctor and told him, ‘I will set up the home as a hospital, will put up the bed, and get everything, but let her be at home.’ He was seeing that it was taking a toll on me mentally. So, we did this, went back home, my whole family come to see me surprises me. They surprised me, and I was so overwhelmed that I started getting contractions.” The star wife revealed that she was rushed to the hospital yet again due to her worsening condition.

About Shahid Kapoor and Mira Rajput

Shahid Kapoor tied the knot with Mira Rajput in 2015 and the couple announced the arrival of their first child, which was a daughter in 2016, and they named her Misha (a combination of their names). Later, the couple also had a second child in 2018, a baby boy and named him Zain.

Karan Johar, who is known for his quirky jibes and witty one-liners did not receive a great feedback when it came to his show Koffee With Karan Season 8 which released in 2023. The filmmaker-host’s show is known for its fun conversations where actors spill the beans on their personal and professional lives, making some intriguing revelations. However, the year of 2024 will not mark the return of the show, asserted KJo, who also promised that he is definitely looking at releasing Season 9 next year.

In an interview with Sucharita, Karan Johar discussed what went wrong with Season 8 of Koffee With Karan and revealed how a fun and peppy round like the Rapid Fire had become so boring that he didn’t want to give out the prize (coffee hamper) to anyone. “In the history of Koffee with Karan, it was the most boring rapid fire. It was so boring that I was like snooze alert. I’m like why am I even doing this? You’re not giving me questions. Should we just drop the rapid fire? Main hi hamper ghar le jaata hoon because no one really deserves to win it,” said Karan.

He further stated about Season 9 being on the cards and shared, “Let’s change the world of Koffee with Karan. Let season 9 be all the fun, all the chattiness and all the candour but let’s do it in a way that is not putting the celebrities in an awkward, touchy space. People are scared to open up, they don’t say anything the way they used to. You can’t ask them which is an overrated film or an overrated performance. Nobody is going to give it to you.”

“So I took 2024 off. It’s going to be back 2025. Somewhere around the second half of 2025, we want to come back with a new syntax,” he concluded.

In 2018, Tanushree Dutta ignited India’s #MeToo movement by accusing veteran actor Nana Patekar of sexual harassment on the sets of a film in 2008. Despite the movement gaining momentum, Dutta faced backlash. Now, she has escalated her accusations, alleging “criminal intimidation” and “physical harm” at the hands of Patekar.

Tanushree Dutta took to Instagram, highlighting Patekar’s recent denial of her claims. She pointed out a past controversy where Patekar slapped a child on set, initially claiming it was part of the script after facing public outrage and apologizing. Dutta questioned the timing of his #MeToo denial, suggesting it stems from her considering further legal action. She wrote, “How big a liar Nana Patekar is the whole world knows now after the varanasi boy slapping incident. Nana first tried to made it look like to slap the kid was part of shoot & then he got severe public backlash for trying to cover up his abuse. Then he suddenly took a u turn & apologised half-heartedly. Why take 6 years to respond to #metoo??”

The former Miss India Universe 2004 detailed a series of disturbing experiences. She alleged being followed and stalked by strangers, encountering “freak accidents,” and attempts to poison her. She claimed these incidents were aimed to silence her and manipulate her. She continued, “I’ll tell u why…because he knows that I may be contemplating another FIR on Nana for conspiracy to murder, criminal intimidation & threat, stalking and cause physical harm. I went through severe harassment from unknown groups of people last few years. I was followed & stalked by strangers wherever I went. Freak Accidents and several attempts to poison me with various substances ensued relentlessly. There were a few attempts to corner me and manipulate me into dangerous situations with strangers too.”

She added, “A lot of weird stuff kept happening to me & around me & All of these people seemed like hired goons. The situations I was in and having to navigate through seemed very much like what SSR might have gone through but thank God I survived all this. No prizes for guessing who was behind all this given Nana’s criminal background. ( Nana proudly boasts in youtube interviews about being closely related to deceased underworld gangster Manya Surve). He thought that I would be dead by now according to his plan but I survived. And now he is scared and his supporters base in Bollywood has dwindled. All those who supported him are either bankrupt, lost their status or have sidelined him. People can see through his manipulations now and thus he comes up with another major gaslight.”

She concluded, “Nana Patekar is a pathological liar. Every director he has ever worked with has a story to tell about his manipulative & abusive behaviour on set. So all of them are liars too?? If he can slap and hit directors then misbehavior with women is no big deal for him, don’t you think?? Even Veteran actress Dimple Kapadia called him “obnoxious” in a viral YouTube interview. She is a liar too?? What about the Varanasi boy whom he slapped and who came in media and said that he was not part of any shoot and that he just got slapped for no reason. He is a liar too?”

Dutta’s initial harassment complaint against Patekar was dismissed in 2019 due to a lack of witnesses. Her new allegations, if pursued, could open a fresh investigation.

The industry and fans are waiting for Thursday, June 27, when Kalki 2898 AD will arrive in cinemas. The film is releasing in multiple languages and also in release in multiple formats like 2D, 3D and IMAX. However, in a sudden development, the makers have decided to pause the booking of the film’s IMAX version.

A multiplex official told Bollywood Hungama, “On the morning of Monday, June 24, we got the information that the makers and distributor of Kalki 2898 AD have asked exhibitors to keep the IMAX bookings on hold. Accordingly, we stopped the sales immediately. In the case of IMAX screens that had not started the booking, they were told not to commence ticket sales.”

Another source said, “Some multiplexes also got a directive that Kalki 2898 AD will not release in the IMAX version, giving speculation that the IMAX release is cancelled. It’s been more than six hours and we hope the makers give clarity on this aspect as there’s a demand for this film’s IMAX version. The audience needs to know what’s happening.”

Kalki 2898 AD stars Prabhas, Deepika Padukone, Amitabh Bachchan, Kamal Haasan and Disha Patani. It is directed by Nag Ashwin and backed by C Aswani Dutt of Vyjayanthi Movies. The advance booking opened yesterday and has received an encouraging response. The futuristic entertainer will be released in Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada and Malayalam.

The makers have gone all out for promotions. Last month, in a first ever instance, they released an animated prelude, B&B: Bujji And Bhairava, on Amazon Prime Video. The thirty-minute series helped viewers understand the world of Kalki 2898 AD.

Last week, a grand event of Kalki 2898 AD was held in Mumbai and was graced by Prabhas, Deepika Padukone, Amitabh Bachchan and Kamal Haasan. A few days ago, Bollywood Hungama was the first to report that with a run time of 180 minutes, Kalki 2898 AD is the longest Prabhas film ever.
