Bhumi Pednekar is currently basking in the success of her latest show, The Royals. While the spotlight remains on her recent performance, an old interview clip of the actress has resurfaced on Reddit — and it is gaining renewed attention for all the right reasons.

In the viral video, Bhumi is seen in conversation with film critic Anupama Chopra. The actress is joined by Ayushmann Khurrana and Rajkummar Rao. 

During the chat, Bhumi Pednekar opened up about being trolled for the size of her lips. 

Recalling one such instance, Bhumi said, “So people have the most bizarre thing. Somebody actually told me that your lips are too big. I said, ‘Since when is that a problem? Aren’t people paying lakhs of money to get that done? They can say the most bizarre things that I think you should just be aware of what you are and not care.”

Rumours of Konkona Sen Sharma and Amol Parashar’s relationship have been swirling online for quite some time. The couple seemed to take a step forward – they made their first public appearance together at the screening of Amol Parashar’s latest web series, Gram Chikitsalay last night.

Konkona Sen Sharma and Amol Parashar were spotted flashing their best smiles for the camera. Konkona looked every bit the boss in a grey power suit. Amol wore a blue blazer over a white shirt. They were pictured outside the office of Excel Entertainment in Khar. 

Amol had hinted at being in a committed relationship during an earlier interview with The Times of India without taking any names.

“Nothing is stopping me. I have found no good reason to put it out there,” he said. He also said real relationships have a certain “sanctity” and feel more “pure” when kept private.

He also spoke about the industry dynamics where relationships are used as a PR tool. “Yaha nahi bhi hote relationships toh chala dete hai… PRs have suggested this to me before, ki kuch chala dete hai (PRs previously suggested to me to spread the rumours of my relationship)” he shared. 

Popular television actress Shweta Tiwari has always opened up about her emotionally draining divorce from first husband Raja Chaudhary. The divorce was also financially challenging for the actress, according to an old report by Hindustan Times.

As part of the settlement, she agreed to hand over a one-bedroom flat in Malad, priced at Rs 93 lakh, which she and Raja jointly owned, the report claimed.

Her legal team had initially proposed shared ownership between Raja and their daughter Palak, but he demanded sole ownership instead. His claim of the property deeply unsettled Shweta, as he prioritised property over daughter. 

Last year, in an interview with Galatta India, Shweta Tiwari said why she took nine years to come out of her troubled marriage. 

When asked about what stopped her (initially) to come out of the troubled relationship, Shweta said, “In my entire family, nobody had ever done a love marriage, I had. There was also caste problems that existed in our family, yet I had an inter-caste marriage. 

“People had already started to taunt my mother and judging my marriage. On top of that, if I filed for a divorce, it would have been a whole different thing. At that point in time, it wasn’t that I was not financially independent, but it was more of an emotional thing.”

Shweta continued, “I was worried for my daughter not having a father while growing up. It was later that I realised that you can have a happy family only when you are mentally happy. 

“It’s not a good upbringing for your child to be in a dysfunctional family. If two people can’t co-exist, it is better to part ways.” Raja Chaudhary and Shweta Tiwari got married in 1998. 

Shweta filed for divorce in 2007 on the ground of domestic violence and Raja’s drinking problem. They share a daughter Palak Tiwari, who made her debut with Salman Khan’s Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan. 

Aditya Pancholi and Zarina Wahab’s son Sooraj Pancholi was accused of abetting Jiah Khan’s suicide (2013). After a decade-long legal battle, CBI Special Court acquitted Sooraj due to lack of evidence in 2023. Sooraj Pancholi, who was about to debut around the time of Jia’s death, was grilled on social media for his relationship with the Nishabd actress. Sooraj’s mother Zarina Wahab has now come out in the defence of her son and revealed they were not together before Jiah’s death.

Zarina Wahab also revealed that Jiah tried to “reach out to Sooraj” the day she died as she was “upset” after being rejected for a Telugu film.

During a conversation with Nayandeep Rakshit, Zarina Wahab said, “I want to clear one thing that a lot of people think about Sooraj. When they (Jiah and Sooraj) were friends, Salman was launching him. Then I told him that Salman is going to launch you, (so) stop (this)! Then he went and told her, my parents don’t want us to meet and your mother also doesn’t want us to meet. So let’s break up. 

“Then she said, ‘can I come and meet you sometimes?’ So he told her, ‘you can come and meet me as a friend but not as a girlfriend.’ The incident happened a month before their breakup. No one knows about this. In fact, she was going to South for a Telugu film around the same time in June. On the spot, she was rejected and she was very depressed.”

Zarina shared that Jiah called Sooraj the day she died but he couldn’t respond to her due to work commitments. When he responded, it was already too late. 

“She (Jiah) was so depressed that she was trying to call Sooraj. But his classes were going on because of some shooting. He couldn’t take her call, and when he later saw his phone, he texted her, ‘I’m free now, if you want to call me, call.’ 

“But by then, she had already passed away. And now everyone says he did this, he did that… It’s so wrong. The poor girl was really sweet, but only God knows what truly happened to her,” said Zarina Wahab. 

Zarina also revealed that Jiah was upset after being rejected for a Telugu film that eventually went to Rakul Preet Singh. 

“Sooraj had even sent her a bouquet when she told him she was trying her luck in the South. “Whatever happened, it wasn’t good, but people misunderstood. How many people can you go around explaining things to? But he (Sooraj) went through a lot,” she concluded.

Sooraj Pancholi will next be seen in Kesari Veer alongside Vivek Oberoi, Suniel Shetty. The film will release in theatres on May 23.

an Indian Army post at the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir, days after India and Pakistan agreed to a ceasefire following four days of intense cross-border drone and missile strikes.

During the visit, the first by reporters since Operation Sindoor, which was launched to avenge the deadly terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam, NDTV saw that there was no major damage to any of the Indian Army’s posts in the Kupwara sector.

NDTV also saw one of the bunkers of the Indian Army, which was intact.

The Army personnel said most of the missiles and drones launched by the Pakistani Army were intercepted before they could hit any target in the Kupwara sector.

The Pakistani installations and terrorist camps on the other side of the fence, however, suffered massive damage.

India and Pakistan exchanged four days of intense cross-border drone and missile strikes before agreeing to a ceasefire on May 10.

The fighting, their worst in decades, began when the Pakistani Army launched a massive missile and drone attack after India struck multiple terrorist infrastructure sites in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK).

The Indian strikes were part of “Operation Sindoor”, which was launched in response to the April 22 attack in Pahalgam, which left 26 people, mostly tourists, dead.

India, after finding cross-border links to the Pahalgam attack, had launched “Operation Sindoor” on May 7 and attacked nine terror sites in Pakistan and PoK.

The Indian armed forces destroyed camps of terror groups like Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) and Hizbul Mujahideen, and killed more than 100 terrorists.

After the Indian armed forces’ overnight operations, the Pakistani Army launched drones and missiles at western parts of India, which were successfully intercepted.

India then hit selected military targets deep inside Pakistani territory.

The two countries reached a ceasefire agreement on May 10 to halt military actions with immediate effect.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has warned terror groups and terrorists that India’s armed forces would launch formidable counterattacks if faced with a repeat of the attack in Pahalgam.

“Operation Sindoor is the new normal,” he said in an address to the nation on May 12.
