A video of Bollywood star Sonam Kapoor is resurfacing on social media, from her last appearance on Koffee With Karan.
In the video, the Neerja star is asked by the host Karan Johar that with whom she shares the best chemistry?, Sonam’s brother Harshvardhan Kapoor jumped in and took Fawad Khan’s name. The Delhi 6 star stated that she thinks the same and she loved her chemistry with Fawad. She concluded on a humorous note by saying that Karan sent him back to Pakistan.
Her statement left Karan shocked but he let it pass.
Kapoor worked with Khan in Disney’s Khoobsurat. The film gave Fawad his first break in Bollywood, for which he even received a Filmfare Award for Best Male Debut.
Sonam grabbed headlines earlier this year for her pregnancy and the unfortunate robbery at her Delhi residence did not take place in just a day, rather, the thieves gradually stole precious items over a span of 10-11 months.
“The jewelry and cash were stolen in a span of 10-11 months, as and when the accused nurse got a chance,” a Delhi Police official told IANS.
A complaint was lodged two months back, on February 23, regarding a theft at the residence of Harish Ahuja at Amrita Shergil Marg in Delhi. Notably, Harish Ahuja is the father-in-law of Sonam Kapoor.
The Saawariya star’s father Anil Kapoor thanked Delhi Police on twitter for their successful investigation.
Actress Ratna Pathak Shah ofKapoor & Sons fame has landed in hot water after her recent comments on a Hindu festival. This trolling is owing to the actress’ recent statements about India moving towards becoming an ‘extremely conservative society’ and slamming the concept of ‘Karwa Chauth’.
During a recent chat with an entertainment portal, the Golmaal 3 star spoke about how women in the 21st century, are still observing age-old traditions like Karwa Chauth – a Hindu ritual in which the wife prays for her husband’s long life by fasting.
While she revealed it was for the first time last year she was asked if would fast for her husband, Ratna also said that India is becoming ‘a conservative society’ and the first thing it does ‘is clamp down on its women’ – just like they have done in a country like Saudi Arabia.
Netizens aren’t happy with Ratna Pathak Shah’s comments and have taken to social media to slam her for both dissing women keeping the Karwa Chauth fast and calling Saudi Arabia a conservative society while making comparisons.
Ratna said that she was asked for the first time last year if she would fast for her husband, actor Naseeruddin Shah.
“Nothing has changed for women or very little has changed in very crucial areas. Our society is becoming extremely conservative. We’re becoming superstitious, we’re being forced into accepting and making religion a very important part of one’s life. Someone asked me for the first time last year if I’m observing Karwa Chauth. I said, ‘Am I mad?’ Isn’t it appalling that modern educated women fast to pray for the long lives of husbands?”
She continued, “We are moving towards an extremely conservative society. The first thing a conservative society does is clamp down on its women. Look at all the conservative societies in this world. Women are the ones who are most affected. What’s the scope of women in Saudi Arabia? Do we want to become like Saudi Arabia? And we will become because it’s very very convenient. Women provide a lot of unpaid labour within the home. If you have to pay for that labour, who will do it? Women are forced into that situation.”
Star-actress Mahira Khan is currently riding high on the success of her recent hit film Quaid-e-Azam Zindabad. After the premiere of her latest film, Mahira indulged in an interesting chat with The Current.

The Bol star revealed that currently, it’s Fahad Mustafa who can be termed as ‘Raees’ in the Pakistani entertainment industry. It is pertinent to mention that Raees’ English translation is wealthy. However, in the film circle, it is used for someone who is wealthy by heart an
On being asked who is Humsafar for her, she said, ‘Hamsafar is only Fawad’, with a billion-dollar smile on her face.

The video is from an award show and starts with Fawad trying to woo Deepika by reciting the lines ‘roop tera mastana, pyaar mera deewana, bhool koi hum se na ho jaaye‘ for her. Impressed with his gesture, Deepika then hugs Fawad and tells Karan Johar, who is also present on the stage, “he’s all mine for the next few minutes.”
She then goes down on one knee and Fawad is left blushing. While all this is happening, one can see Ranveer sitting in the audience with a weird expression on his face.
Earlier, Fawad too had expressed his desire of sharing screens with Deepika as he was quoted by Pinkvilla as saying: “I would be very excited to work with Deepika. It would be an amazing experience. I am very excited and enthusiastic about it. It would be the two right words to describe my feelings about our collaboration.”
The two were supposed to do Padmaavat together as Fawad was Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s first choice for Shahid Kappor’s role.
The Zindagi Gulzar Hai alum recently confessed that he misses Bollywood.
While in conversation with Indian journalist Anupama Chopra, he said: “If I lost a role, I was not good enough for it. I don’t think I was (out) because I was too pretty for it.” The host further asked if he missed working in Bollywood? The Khuda Kay Liye actor replied: “I do. I made some great friends there. Still keep in touch with them and yeah I miss that.”
Khan might have starred in just three films in India but he is undeniably the hottest property that conquered Bollywood in a matter of two years. The movies that Fawad worked in were Khoobsurat (2014), Kapoor and Sons (2016), and Ae Dil Hai Mushkil (2016).
Actor Fawad Khan confessed in an interview that he was looking forward to a get a role in the Hollywood feature film, The Reluctant Fundamentalist after he was led on for a year by the makers.
The Zindagi Gulzar Hai star shared that he was very disheartened when he did not get the role after waiting for such a long period of time.
“I came across this film where I was supposed to audition for the role, that went on for a whole year. I wasn’t led on. (Pauses) Yeah! OK! I was led on for almost a year. I thought that I’d be a part of it some way or the other. So it was for this film called Reluctant Fundamentalist,” said Fawad.
“It was under consideration for like a whole year. Towards the end of the year, I suddenly realized that it was not working out. It was not gonna happen. I was heartbroken. I had waited a whole year and I parked my career aside to a film I thought I was gonna do it right. That’s when I got into TV with a vengeance,” added Fawad.
The Reluctant Fundamentalist was released in 2012 and the role was bagged by the Oscar-nominated actor, Riz Ahmed. The Reluctant Fundamentalist is a story about young Pakistani man chasing corporate success on Wall Street. He finds himself embroiled in a conflict between his American dream, a hostage crisis, and the enduring call of his family’s homeland.
Now Bollywood star Ranveer Singh mentioned on the chat show Koffee With Karan, “I have been rejected for The Reluctant Fundamentalist.”
When Karan Johar mentioned the Bollywood film Bombay Velvet, Singh said that he was rejected but dropped from the project. He said, “I was not rejected for Bombay Velvet. I was unceremoniously dropped because at the time, I couldn’t justify the budget. My star value wasn’t as high. But, things have changed.”
Bombay Velvet, helmed by Anurag Kashyap, starred Ranbir Kapoor and Anushka Sharma in the lead roles. Karan Johar had a cameo. The Reluctant Fundamentalist starred Om Puri, Shabana Azmi, and Riz Ahmed in pivotal roles.
Fawad Khan has finally made an appearance in the fifth episode of Ms Marvel. Fawad Khan is playing a character of a man from the pre-partition era. Pakistani actors Mehwish Hayat, Samina Ahmed and Nimra Buch are also playing important characters in the Marvel series.
Internet users not only from Pakistan but from across the border are going gaga over Fawad Khan for his debut role.
Bollywood actor Ananya Panday made her debut in Bollywood with Karan Johar’s Student Of The Year 2 with Tiger Shroff and has managed to mark her place in the film industry.
In a recent chat, the actress revealed that she has faced ‘sexism’ in the early days of her career.
During her recent appearance on The Ranveer Show, the Pati Patni Aur Woh diva said: “As soon as I started working, people started saying things like ‘you should fix this and fix that, like get a boob job or change something about your face. And, it is said very casually and not in direct words that you sometimes even don’t pick it up. They would say, ‘just fill up a little more. Put on some weight.’”
Ananya said that she felt hurt about it and would think, “Is that what people care about? Is that what I am reduced to? Is there nothing about me paramount to my waist size or chest size?” She said that the worst thing a person can do is judge them for their body.
Panday mentioned that she wasn’t promised work in the industry nor was spoken about any opportunities. The actress also said that she always wanted to be an actress but she never knew how she would accomplish that. “I never thought it was going to be easy,” Panday said.
Meanwhile, on the work front, the Khaali Peeli actress will be seen next in Puri Jagannadh’s action film Liger alongside Vijay Deverakonda, which will release in the theatres on 25 August 2022.
Earlier this year during Gehraiyaan’s promotions, Deepika Padukone explained how Ananya does not like sharing food and further elaborated on how they (Gehraiyaan’s leadcast) tried to invite themselves for a dinner at Ananya’s house but Panday was not keen on having them over.
When interviewer Cyrus Broacha asked Ananya why she did not want to have them over, she said, “Because my dad (Chunky Panday) is always roaming around in a towel. If you all still want to come, come.”
Director Shakun Batra and Deepika also revealed how Ananya never shares food.
Shakun and Cocktail diva recalled an incident when she didn’t share her keema pao with others but gave a few peas from the dish to Shakun.
While talking about the incident, Deepika told Cyrus Broacha on his show Cyrus Says on YouTube, “She doesn’t share her food.” Shakun further revealed how Ananya only shared some matar (peas) from the keema pao she was eating. Deepika then says, “At least you got that.”
Deepika added, “We invited ourselves to Ananya’s house because she said that she is having keema pao for dinner. We said thanks for inviting us and she was like ‘Yes if you guys wanna come, please come but there isn’t enough pao for you all.’” She further said, “We then waited 40 minutes for our food that we ordered but she kept eating hers and didn’t share.” Ananya then points at Shakun and says, “I gave him 2-3 matar (peas).”
Director Shakun Batra joined the conversation right after and pointed out how bizarre the reason was. “I can already imagine so many memes being made on that.”, he said.

Their yet-to-be-titled web-series has just wrapped up filming. Their project is being helmed by Asim Abbasi, who also directed Churails and feature film Cake.
According to Variety, the show is a blend of magical realism and supernatural fantasy with a family reunion. Humsafar actor Khan is seen in a role of a single parent who tries to be the father that his own father wasn’t. Saeed, who recently starred in Qatil Haseenaon Ke Naam, bears otherworldly secrets in the show and takes it upon herself to heal and bring everyone together.

The shoot which spanned over five months has been the most challenging experience of my life but also the most rewarding,” Abbasi said. “The ensemble have done a beautiful job, and given some career best performances. While we have had many eventful days shooting for the series, the last day of the shoot was particularly action-packed. I remember the car we were supposed to shoot with didn’t work, so we used my personal car instead. During the shot, Fawad really had to burn the rubber, as he had to do a u-turn on a single lane road. It was a perfect shot but now I need new tyres.”
