Shraddha Kapoor is gearing up for a busy year! After a single release in 2023 with the romantic comedy Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar, the actress has several exciting projects in the pipeline. In a recent fan interaction, Kapoor hinted at venturing into new genres, including a mythological adaptation and a time-travel film. Now, it seems she might be adding another project to her list – a drama co-produced by her rumoured beau, Rahul Mody.

According to a report in Mid-day, the details about the drama are under wraps. However, sources reveal that Kapoor has expressed interest in the central idea and is considering co-producing the film alongside Mody’s production house. Mody, who co-wrote Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar, has sparked dating rumours with Kapoor in recent times. A source revealed to the publication, “The talks are in the nascent stage, so it can’t be determined whether this will be her next project. But Shraddha has liked the central idea. She plans to co-produce it along with Rahul’s production house.”

Kapoor has Stree 2, the much-anticipated sequel to the 2018 horror-comedy Stree, lined up for release this year. The source further adds, “Stree 2 is one of the year’s most-awaited films. Going forward, Shraddha wants to carefully select her projects, choosing ones that evoke a similar kind of buzz. She also doesn’t want long gaps between her films.”

Rahul Mody’s foray into production alongside a potential collaboration with Shraddha Kapoor will surely pique the interest of fans.

Actor Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas welcomed daughter Malti Marie in 2022. Since then, the couple has been open about their journey into parenthood, sharing heartfelt moments and insights into their new roles as parents. Recently, Priyanka Chopra opened up about the changes in her sleep cycle, acknowledging the heightened vigilance that comes with being a parent.

On the podcast Read The Room, Priyanka  also said that Malti is exactly like her and explained why. She said, “When I look at how comfortable I was with attention, some kids were shy about it, but I had no problem being in front of the camera, I had no problem on stage, I was always the center of attention, my daughter is like that. Malti is exactly like that. No problem with confidence and I think my parents, my family and friends really empowered that about me when I was a teenager.”

When asked what’s the most surprising thing about motherhood, the actor said, “Definitely the lack of control but I cannot sleep the way I used to sleep. I am the lightest sleeper. I can hear everything. I am very vigilant, like a cry or a sound.” She added, “It’s tough. There’s no reason for it. Why do I want to wake up at 7:30 am? Because she is up. I used to sleep at 10 am. Be up all night. Not anymore.”

Nick Jonas, who went on the same show a few months earlier, had a similar response when asked about parenthood. He had said, “You realize quickly once you have a child that you can’t control everything. I think that was the biggest lesson for me at a stage in my life I didn’t expect to learn. You know, we went through a really tough couple of months at the start of her life and you have that vision of how it’s going to go throughout your whole life, and then it’s something completely different.”

Gurucharan Singh, who played Sodhi in Tarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah (TMKOC), has been missing for over five days. He left Delhi for Mumbai on April 22 but never arrived. His father filed a missing person report, and the police are investigating it as a kidnapping case. Mandar Chandwadkar, who plays Bhide in TMKOC, told The Indian Express that Gurucharan frequently traveled between Delhi and Mumbai. They last met at Dilip Joshi’s son’s wedding.

He said, “It’s really surprising for me as well. He keeps travelling between Delhi and Mumbai. Last we met at Dilip Joshi’s son’s wedding in December. We had a nice time together, but since then we have not been in touch. Just hoping and praying all is well.”

While police are looking for Sodhi, his close friend Ms Soni has stated that the actor has been ill for the past three days and has undergone a few tests. She hoped Singh will be located and stated that she is in daily communication with his family. “His parents are worried and have filed a missing report in Delhi. I tried to file one in Mumbai as well, however, since he hasn’t returned back a complaint cannot be filed here. Gurucharan ji’s health also hasn’t been keeping well for the last many days, so I am worried about that,” Ms Soni told Pinkvilla, adding, “Before leaving for Delhi, his blood pressure was high and he had undergone a few tests as well. He wasn’t even eating much before he left for Delhi. I really hope and pray that he is fine, and returns back safe and sound.”

On Friday, Gurucharan’s father was said to have filed a missing complaint. The allegation alleged that Gurucharan Singh, 50, left for Mumbai at 8:30 a.m. on April 22 but did not appear. His phone is inaccessible, and despite their efforts, he has not returned home.

Krishna Mukherjee, known for her role of Shubh Shagun, recently took to Instagram to reveal alleged harassment by the show’s producer Kundan Singh. In her post, she bravely spoke out about her experiences, sparking a wave of support from her industry peers and fans alike. However, this revelation was met with denial and threats of legal action from the producer, Kundan Singh.

Krishna told HT City exclusively, “Itna time anxiety aur depression hua, my personal was f****d because of all this. I am feeling so bad, main ruki kyun hui thi uss show mein, waiting for what. I didn’t quit even after the incident, and the producer fooled me. (I’ve wasted time, had anxiety and depression. My personal life is f****d because of all this. I am feeling so bad, why did I stay in the show, waiting for what.)”

She just released an Instagram reel describing her account, “My hands are still shivering while writing this but I had to. I am suffering from Anxiety and Depression bcz of this. We hide our emotions and show the brighter side on social media. But this is the Reality. My family was asking me not to post bcz they are still scared what if these people harm you? But why should I be scared ? This is my right and I need justice.”

In the article, she describes what she claims happened to her on the show’s set, saying, “It all started when I started doing my last show Shubh Shagun for Dangal TV. That was the worst decision of my life,” she writes, adding, “The production house and the producer @kundan.singh.official has harassed me so many times. They even once locked me in my makeup room because I was unwell and I decided not to shoot because they were not paying me for my work.”

She further claims that they haven’t cleared her dues for 5 months now. “I was given dhamki many times. I felt unsafe, broken and scared throughout. I asked for help from so many people but nothing. Nobody could do anything about it. People ask me why I am not doing any show? This is the reason. I am scared what if the same thing happens again? I need justice,” she writes.

Responding to her claims, the producer of the show Kundan Singh denied the claims while at the same time reaching out to Krishna’s social media followers to ‘beware of her lies’. Besides this, Kundan took to social media as well revealing that in 2022 Krishna had filed an FIR on similar grounds against two other individuals while revealing his side of the story in a post saying, “It’s sad to see how it’s so easy for some people to make false accusations. I must clarify that all the accusations being made are false and frivolous, and strict legal action will be taken against all culprits.”

Talking about Krishna’s claims further and the FIR as well, Kuundan continued, “During that time me and my team strongly stood with her and her family and helped her at every step, I was even in touch with her father throughout the matter. As a disciplinary action I even fired both the employees immediately, though later came to know that the allegations she put on them were false and only for the sake to settle her personal grudge,” he claims, adding, “She took a step ahead for false financial claim, we had reached out to her for legal proceeding but she refusing to come which is already in the record of City Civil Court, Mumbai.”

Denying his claims, Krishna tells HT City that the two people were back on sets in a week, “I told them clearly that those two people will not come on set again, but only after a week, they were there. I reminded the team, to which I was told ‘we don’t have much team, kya karein’ I still continued shooting. Kundan Singh ne saara mujhe pe daal diya ki meri wajah se show band ho gaya. He is lying in his Insta post.”

If the battel between Krishna and Kundan wasn’t enough, Aly Goni has also come forward stating that he has borne witness to Krishna’s harassment and that he is owed dues to the tune of Rs. 39 lakhs. Sharing videos on Instagram Stories about that he says, “Krishna made some allegations, and the perpetrator is now posting claiming she’s lying. I know it’s not a lie because Krishna called me when they locked her in the room. She was crying when she called me and Chirag. But we were all shooting and couldn’t help her then.”

Talking about his dues, Goni adds, “Irrespective of that, if Kundan is so sure he paid her, I’m sure he must have the bank details. Why not share it? All her friends know how much she has suffered. The amount they need to pay her is not small, it’s ₹39 lakh. She earned that money. You can’t blame the channel too as they always clear the dues. Threaten however much you want, we’re all with her.”

The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), as is well known, often heavily comes down on explicit intimate scenes even after passing films with an ‘A’ certificate. As a result, moviegoers in India, who ventured out to watch the latest Hollywood release Challengers, were stunned to see that two intense sex scenes were left untouched by the Censors.

The film stars Zendaya, of Spider-Man, Dune and Euphoria fame, and is also one of the producers of the film, which also features Josh O’Connor and Mike Faist. The film caught the attention of viewers across the globe last year when the first teaser dropped depicting Zendaya having a threesome with Josh and Mike.

A source told Bollywood Hungama, “The CBFC’s Examining Committee didn’t touch this much-talked-about scene. Moreover, another intimate scene, between Zendaya and a male actor, is much more explicit. It even features Zendaya wearing a see-through bra. There were fears that there would be a repeat of what happened during Oppenheimer (2023), when Florence Pugh’s nude scene was edited with a CGI-made black dress. Thankfully, nothing of that sort needed to be done for this film. The scene was passed; not a single second was cut.”

But the CBFC did ask for some changes. The source continued, “There’s a scene where a male actor shows his bare buttocks. The CBFC refused to pass the scene. Hence, the studio zoomed in on the male actor to hide his bare behind. A similar modification was done for another scene where a character in the dressing room walks around naked while two characters in the background are having a shower.”

Apart from these changes, the cut list of the CBFC suggests that an abusive word was muted while the cigarette brand was asked to be blurred. Once these changes were made, Challengers was passed with an ‘A’ certificate. The certificate was handed over on April 25, that is, just a day before the film’s release.

Challengers is about a former tennis player who is now a coach for her husband. Things take a turn when they bump into their old friend after years.

Best known for films like Style and Excuse Me, actor Sahil Khan, who is now an influencer, has been arrested by the Mumbai Police in connection with the Mahadev betting app case. The arrest was made by the Mumbai cyber cell’s Special Investigating Team (SIT) in Chhattisgarh after the court rejected the pre-arrest bail plea, followed by asserting that Khan is the co-owner of the app.

Previously, the SIT had summoned Sahil and three others for questioning in December 2023, but he failed to appear. Followed by that, he applied for a pre-arrest bail which has now been rejected by the Bombay High Court. Despite several allegations were made against the Style actor in regards to the app, Sahil denied any direct involvement with the betting platform and continued to assert that he was merely a brand promoter endorsing The Lion Book brand under contract with M/s. Isports247. However, the police has decided to stick with their allegations that he was a co-owner of the app, following which he is being brought to Mumbai via Raipur and is expected to be produced before the court this afternoon.

Meanwhile, Sahil has maintained that he signed a contract with the company for 24 months, for posting promotional videos on his social media under a fixed remuneration of Rs. 3 lakhs which will be paid monthly. After the actor gave his statement about being a brand promoter, he applied for a pre-bail plea which was, however, dismissed by the court, as they cited his alleged direct involvement in the illegal operation.

Earlier In 2023, the crime branch, investigating the Mahadev betting app case, had summoned Sahil Khan and three others to record their statements on December 15. However, Sahil failed to cooperate but remained active on social media, posting photos and videos, further drawing flak for his non-compliant behaviour.

On the work front, while Sahil Khan has stayed away from films, he kicked off his entrepreneurial fitness venture Divine Nutrition, which offers fitness supplements.

The firing incident at Galaxy Apartment has been undergoing significant developments lately. Initially, the Mumbai police issued a Look Out Circular (LOC) against Anmol Bishnoi, the younger brother of incarcerated gangster Lawrence Bishnoi after he is accused of being the man behind the recent attack on Bollywood superstar Salman Khan. Now, recent reports reveal that the authorities have invoked the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA) in connection with the incident.

Following the firing incident outside his apartment in Mumbai, multiple investigative teams have been actively pursuing leads. After earlier reports suggested the Mumbai police have named two suspects Sagar Pal and Vicky Gupta, recently two alleged arms suppliers were identified as Sonu Subhash Chander and Anuj Thapan, in connection to the case. As per reports from ANI, all of them have been charged under MCOCA. Officers were quoted in the recent report where they confirmed the developments in the case and added, “All accused have been booked under Sections 3(1)(2), 3(1)(3), and 3(1)(4) of MCOCA,”.

Subsequently, after Anmol Bishnoi purportedly claimed responsibility for the shooting in a Facebook post, law enforcement authorities issued another Look Out Circular (LOC) against him. Furthermore, with the gathering of substantial evidence, Lawrence Bishnoi has been designated as the primary suspect in the case, despite his imprisonment.

Following the arrest of the accused, law enforcement authorities have also made a few other breakthroughs in the investigation which includes discovering a firearm and live cartridges in the Tapi River in Gujarat, along with footprints of one of the suspects, Vicky, which were also traced during their attempt to flee to Bhuj, Gujarat.

Besides these, the Delhi Crime Branch officials also reportedly conducted a three-hour long interrogation of Sagar Pal and Vicky Gupta with their custody being extended from April 25 to April 29. Meanwhile, as per reports from ANI, the Esplanade Court in Mumbai has granted Mumbai Crime Branch custody of both arms suppliers until April 30.
