Entertainment Live Updates: Chile Busts Crime Ring, Returns 125,000 Dollar Watches Stolen From Keanu Reeves

The countdown has begun for Indian television’s greatest reality show, and the teaser for Bigg Boss 19 has finally arrived, revealing Anupama’s superstar host, Salman Khan, and that the theme will turn everything upside down. Instead of following the tradition of a single captain or authority figure in the house, this season sees a theme of “Gharwalon Ki Sarkaar” (The Government of the Housemates).

First time, all the housemates get the chance to be heard in decisions made inside, resulting in what turns out to be for the first time, a full-fledged democracy in drama, alliances, and explosive confrontations. Salman Khan looks charismatic in a slim-fit Nehru jacket as he announces that when too many people start giving orders, the house turns out to be a war zone. This fresh twist is going to make the game more surprising than ever before, with evictions and daily tasks possibly being decided by majority vote, testing housemates’ loyalties and relationships to the absolute limit.

In an excellent display of power and love of art, a young dancer from Mangaluru has inscribed herself into history books. Remoma Evette Pereira from St. Aloysius (Deemed to be University) set a new Guinness World Record by performing the art of classical dance for 170 hours, continuously over seven days.

The marathon performance, which was organized on the territory of the university, was a fascinating combination of intricate footwork, dramatic mudras, and unwavering stamina, completely transfixing the viewership, thus making her an international icon of artistic resolve. Yet another achievement which finds a mention in the Golden Book of World Records, this achievement not only held the record going but also stood an unyielding proclamation to the eternal fairy-tale charm and rigorous demands of Bharatanatyam.

Stand-up comedian Samay Raina has been able to prove that his connection with his audience is still very much strong despite the duration of time spent under close public observation. Following all the public outcry surrounding his now-deleted YouTube show India’s Got Latent, Raina has comfortably launched a massive all-India tour titled ‘Samay Raina is Still Alive and Unfiltered.’

Nothing short of miraculous madness was the ticket sale for the tour, which opened with an astonishing 40000 tickets being sold within one hour. This volcanic reaction says a great deal about the comedian’s unshakeable popularity and the devotion of his fans, who have turned out in hordes to give their backing in this incredible display of support. The seven-city tour promises to be a milestone event in Indian comedy history.

In the world where celebrity lives are characterized by grand gestures and public displays of affection, the birthday message of Sidharth Malhotra to his wife Kiara Advani stood as one of rest understatement and private declaration. While Kiara celebrated her birthday with evidence of goodness and a radiant photograph of herself, the actor-much to his credit-shared the image on social media. The picture, which looks like it is from one of the personal holidays, had a glowing Kiara in pale pink, capturing an unblemished smile.

His accompanying message, “My favourite face, in any place. Happy Birthday love,” struck a chord with fans and followers alike, reflecting on love that’s intimate and also universally understandable. The straightforwardness of the message and the sincere love that it expressed once again revealed why this couple is a crowd darling.

Well-waited John Abraham’s long-awaited action-thriller Tehran has finally received a release date, giving his fans reason to rejoice. The trailer will be released tomorrow, and the poster has already arrived. The geopolitics drama that has been under production for quite some time now will be directly released on the platform ZEE5 during this Independence Week.

Amid the growing tensions over the AI-altered re-release of Dhanush and Sonam Kapoor starrer ‘Raanjhanaa,’ filmmaker Aanand L Rai has strongly voiced his opposition on social media.

Taking to Instagram, Rai shared a long note, calling the recent events “deeply upsetting. “The past three weeks have been surreal and deeply upsetting. To watch Raanjhanaa, a film born out of care, conflict, collaboration, and creative risk, be altered, repackaged, and re-released without my knowledge or consent has been nothing short of devastating. What makes it worse is the complete ease and casualness with which it’s been done. And yet, in the middle of all this, the support and solidarity from the industry, our audiences, and the larger creative community has reminded me of what Raanjhanaa stood for in the first place – connection, courage, and truth. I’m deeply grateful for that,” he wrote.

As the eagerly awaited series “Bakaiti” approaches its premiere, ensuring yet another adult performance by the gifted Sheeba Chaddha, it is appropriate to acknowledge the strong and significant body of work that preceded this new endeavour. Chaddha has made a name for herself in the Indian entertainment market by seamlessly shifting between commercial and alternative cinema and, very recently, the new genre of web series, continually delivering authentic and unforgettable performances.

She has the ability to command scenes with a subdued but assertive presence, and her range to bring forth so many various characters from light comedies to strong dramas makes her a favorite in the hearts of many.

The internet recently lost its mind over a photograph that instantly became a treasure for Bollywood fans: screen icon Asha Parekh uploading a lovely new picture with fellow icons Helen and Waheeda Rehman, taken on a recent evening out for dinner. The sheer joy of watching these three veteran actors, who have enriched Indian cinema with their incomparable talent and charisma for so long, occupied the same frame created an avalanche of love and nostalgia. It is a measure of the solid foundations created in an industry that boasts of fleeting relationships, and a nice reminder of their long-lasting friendship.

Malayalam cinema’s undisputed doyen Mohanlal recently broke rules of conventional advertising with a jewellery ad that has gone viral on the internet. What was a risky artistic experiment for his stylist, Shanthi Krishna, became a runaway success largely because the actor was so confident in the unconventional vision.

The commercial, with the typically macho superstar stylishly dressed in jewellery, was a risk-taking act in an industry that is often held back by conventional gender depictions. Krishna had great concerns at first about how the audience would respond, and she was scared of a backlash of online trolling at a time when anything is under scrutiny. Still, Mohanlal’s belief in the merits of the campaign as art helped to be the final bulwark against such fear, resulting in a commercial hailed as a forward-thinking message and classy presentation.

The very long-awaited London event for the premiere of Wednesday Season 2 was quite a dramatic affair that saw stars walk on the purple carpet donned in an array of dramatic outfits. No doubt, the main character who remains enigmatic was none other than Jenna Ortega, who wore a wonderful custom outfit by Ashi Studio embodying her character on-screen. Jenna who dazzled in a figure-hugging, semi-sheer snakeskin dress with burnt edges and a fishtail skirt.

But in some moments which set the crowd talking, media and audience alike, there was a minor wardrobe malfunction by Ortega, obscuring an otherwise flawless appearance. However, this was managed with grace and such patience by the actress, showing how unpredictable live events can sometimes be and how celebrities are sometimes brought in the limelight for very intense media analysis on such occasions. Wiring against momentary lapses, Ortega walks on unruffled, “they’re not serious at all, just stars getting some attention, and I’ve got a great lack of experience doing media stuff in general.”

Ahaan Panday’s debut in Saiyaara has taken Bollywood by storm, but director Mohit Suri reveals there’s more to the newcomer than his on-screen role as Krish Kapoor. In a candid chat, Suri called Ahaan a “full chapri” and a “cringe TikToker,” hinting at a vibrant, unexplored side that the film’s script couldn’t showcase.

Before Saiyaara, Ahaan Panday was no stranger to the digital spotlight. Known for viral Dubsmash videos mimicking Shah Rukh Khan and energetic dance clips, including one at his sister Alanna’s wedding, Ahaan was a TikTok sensation. Suri shared with Komal Nahta, “You haven’t seen the videos he pulled down. He’s a full, out-there, Gaiety Galaxy boy!”

This flamboyant, front-bencher-dancing persona, brimming with Bandra’s street swagger, was deliberately toned down for Saiyaara’s emotional narrative. Fans are now buzzing to see this “chapri” side in future projects.

The eagerly anticipated song “Aavan Jaavan,” which features Kiara Advani and Hrithik Roshan, has finally been made available and is going to become the next romantic anthem. The song displays the two individually in a beautiful setting, lost in a storm of love.

With vibrant cinematography and an infectious tune, the song tries painting a film of budding love, from moments of playful intimacy to dreamy gazes. Both actors are really dashing on the screen; and Hrithik, at the same time, brings out his signature charm while Kiara infuses youthful fervor into the role.

In a quick-fire and totally clearly negative assertion, the famous actor Vijay Sethupathi has thrown back all of the “casting couch” charges against him on social media, calling them spurious and seeking attention. Most of the allegations originated from a now-deleted X post by a user that accused the actor of unethical practices in the industry.

Sethupathi states that he is very upset as “dirty” allegations like these disturb his relatives, emphasizing his honesty and declaring that legal action has been instituted against the accuser. This is not the first time this actor has encountered targeted mudslinging, something he admits to having existed for the past seven years.

Vijay Deverakonda’s latest flick Kingdom released worldwide on July 31, 2025, and shook X with much-needed sound thrummed in the chatter at X about what this Telugu spy action-thriller hit theaters. Directed by Gowtam Tinnanuri, this film promises both high-octane action and deep emotional engagement. 

Fans took to X to rave what they viewed as V. Deverakonda’s best career moment in portraying Suri; an undercover spy penetrating an illegal operation. Considered, by many, his “career best,” he has delightful intense imprints and emotional range. 

The first half of the Kingdom has struck a chord so well that praise abounds for the story and the stunning visuals. However, the net comments on the second half stand divided. One post at X: “The first half hooks you but stretch the climax.” While some users, claim that the first half was more boring and stretcher, killing the excitement of the viewers, resulting in mixed reactions.

Nick’s Instagram carousel on July 31, 2025, was completely overtaken by bright smiles and sunny adventures from the life of three-year-old Malti, daughter of Nick and Priyanka; a beach run, gazing at fish in an aquarium, and attempting video games.

 A series of adorable family photos from an afternoon splashing around on the beach captured a playful moment of Priyanka and Nick chasing Malti down to the ocean. She was a curious toddler taking it all in, from walks on the beach with friends to routines at her Broadway debut, clearly already owning the limelight. Mini superstar worthy of her legendary parents’ legacy was the theme of comments from fans.

Priyanka Chopra commented on Nick’s post, comparing Malti’s brown curly locks to Nick’s signature curl. This sweet note added on to its emotional value with fans now asking Nick to “grow out those curls” and do a father-daughter twinning. The sprinkle of nostalgia about Nick’s past, matched with Malti’s charm, has set social media venues abuzz. 

Lindsay Lohan stunned Kelly Ripa on Live with Kelly and Mark with her candid reason for trading Hollywood’s spotlight for a quieter life in Dubai. At 39, the Freakier Friday star revealed how Dubai’s strict privacy laws and serene environment offered her a fresh start, far from the paparazzi’s relentless pursuit.

Moving to Dubai in 2014, she found refuge in a city where it is illegal to photograph someone without their permission, particularly in private settings such as restaurants. This took Ripa by surprise-amazing!” Lohan supported this, one of her few great decisions: “Privacy is key.” This means not living every day with her guard up, hoping her or her two-year-old son Luai aren’t being recorded. 

Lohan’s move was not a retreat but a recalibration. The Hollywood is coming back on screens with her upcoming Netflix rom-com Freakier Friday, all set to hit the screens on August 8, 2025
