Entertainment News Update: Lil Nas X’s Arrest Raises Questions, What Really Happened Before the $75K Bail?

Kajol is one of the finest actors in the entertainment industry and she knows the clear difference between reel and real life. When it comes to becoming a mother she is fearlessly upfront and straight forward about how and what she feels.

When asked about her daughter Nysa possibly joining the film industry, she didn’t beat around the bush. “She’s 22 now,” Kajol said, “and I think she’s made up her mind that she doesn’t want to do this right now.”

No PR fluff. No vague answers. Just a mom being honest.

It’s refreshing, especially in a world where star kids are almost expected to follow in their parents’ footsteps. But Nysa? She’s carving her own path and Kajol and Ajay are totally supportive of it. Ajay, in his usual grounded way, added that Nysa just doesn’t seem interested in acting at this point. “But hey, kids change their minds all the time,” he said. “Let’s see.”

In a shocking revelation, veteran filmmaker Pahlaj Nihalani has recounted the behind-the-scenes story of how actress Madhuri Dixit walked out of a major film project, which would have seen her paired with megastar Govinda. The movie, which would go on to be a major success, left the fans speculating as to what could have been. As Nihalani explained it was all a simple professional decision which was linked to schedule and prior commitments of Madhuri, and thus the way was given to a new collaboration.

You know that feeling when a song, a scene, or even just a voice takes you back to a time when Bollywood didn’t need to shout to be heard? When romance was quiet yet poetic and left you with a soft feeling? That’s exactly what the teaser for Gustaakh Ishq delivers.

Manish Malhotra, the designer who has been a part of the entertainment industry since as long as one can know. He’s the one who’s dressed every dream girl from Kareena to Deepika  has now decided to step into the producer’s shoes. And surprisingly? He’s not here to make noise. He’s here to make us understand what the core of cinema actually is. 

Set in the dusky lanes of Purani Dilli and the crumbling beauty of old Punjab kothis, the visuals hit differently. But it’s not just the setting. Vijay Varma and Fatima Sana Shaikh don’t just act, they are living these roles. Their chemistry isn’t a show off, it’s soft, relatable and dreamy. The kind of love you see in stolen glances, in silences. The kind we used to fall for in the ’90s and early 2000s.

Actress Ridhima Pandit spoke up about Nikki’s death. She didn’t say much. She didn’t need to. Her words,“They embody inhumanity” cut through the noise. Because this isn’t about just one family. It’s about the society that enables this.

We often like to say dowry is a thing of the past. It isn’t. It’s alive, hidden behind wedding rituals, wrapped in expectations, normalized through silence. And women like Nikki who are brave, ordinary, determined to live life on their own terms and pay the price much higher than expected.

Nikki didn’t die in a fire. The fire was the final act. She died because we still live in a world where a woman’s life is negotiable. Where her independence is a threat. Where “adjusting” is more important than surviving. Where dowry is still passed off as tradition instead of crime.

Her story should haunt us. It should change us. Because if it doesn’t, then the next Nikki is already in danger.

Millie Bobby Brown and Jake Bongiovi have officially entered a new chapter: parenthood. The couple was recently seen strolling through the Hamptons with their newborn daughter and while the baby herself was kept close and cozy, one small detail caught the internet’s attention: the bold initials “RWB” on Millie’s phone case.

Of course, fans instantly started connecting the dots. The couple hasn’t publicly shared their daughter’s name yet, but could these initials be a quiet clue? “R” for her first name, “W” for the middle, and “B” for Bongiovi? It’s a sweet theory, but the one that makes a lot of sense.

Some even think “R” might stand for Ruth, a name close to Millie’s heart. She’s spoken before about how much her late grandmother meant to her, so if this is a subtle tribute, it’s a beautiful one.

What makes the moment feel even more intimate is how low-key it all was. No flashy announcement, no Instagram reveal just one of the most loved couples with their baby and a phone case that might be hiding the sweetest secret.

First up, Helen Mirren plays Elizabeth. She was smart and not regular but over the top smart, with excellent problem solving skills and was a spy back in the day. She’s the leader of the group, sharp and no-nonsense, but also funny in a quiet way. Helen Mirren nails it as Elizabeth; she makes you believe that she can actually solve cases in her sleep. 

Then there’s Pierce Brosnan as Ron. He has a cheeky side for a person who was a doctor not so long ago. But at the same time he is also charming, a little mischievous, and someone who keeps things lively. Pierce brings a light, fun energy that balances out the serious stuff.

Ben Kingsley plays Ibrahim, a retired psychiatrist. He knows what goes behind a person’s head and to what extent one can go to yet he is calm and thoughtful, the kind of guy who stays cool even when things get crazy. Ben adds a thoughtful vibe, making Ibrahim feel like the smart guy of the group.

Last but not least, Celia Imrie is Joyce. She’s a former nurse with a big heart and sharp eyes. She notices the little things others miss and is the glue that holds everyone together. Celia brings warmth and humor to the role.
