Hrithik Roshan penned an appreciation note after binge-watching ‘Decoupled’. He wrote, “A feel good Indian Sitcom after ages..#Decoupled made for one happy watch.

Congratulations to the team. I thoroughly enjoyed watching.” 

Vicky Kaushal took to Instagram to sing praises for Aanand L Rai’s Atrangi Re starring Sara Ali Khan, Akshay Kumar, Dhanush. Sharing a poster on his Instagram story, Vicky Kaushal wrote, “Kitni pyaari film hai… mazaa aa gaya! @saraalikhan95 such a difficult role to play and how wonderfully you have surrendered yourself to it. @dhanushkraja absolutely genius. @akshaykumar Garda uda diye! @aanandlrai Cast me in your next film Sir, please!”

Jacqueline Fernandez grabbed the eyeballs after her mushy pic with Sukesh Chandrasekhar got viral. And now, the actress has released a statement stating that she is going through a rough patch at the moment. Jacqueline added that she hopes that justice will prevail soon.

Pinkvilla has exclusively learnt that Ajay Devgn, who will be seen playing the lead in Bollywood remake of action-packed, thriller and Tamil film Kaithi, will begin shooting for the same next week. “Ajay had given dates for another movie, a mystery thriller-drama (and remake of a superhit south movie). This was the sequel of another movie that Ajay had acted in earlier. The mahurat of the film was to happen on January 7, followed by Kaithi’s mahurat a couple of days later. But the shoot of that movie got postponed due to various reasons. Instead of wasting those dates, Ajay asked his team to shift them for Kaithi – which was to be shot from mid-January anyways,” a source told Pinkvilla

The senior actress took to social media to share the news and revealed that she has been hospitalised after testing positive for COVID 19. Nafisa wrote, “Guess what I have ! A lucky number 7 bed !! High fever and throat congested but doing better with my super medical team in Goa. Hope to be allowed home in a few days for self isolation….#covidpositive”

It’s been a white since Dia Mirza had embraced motherhood and became a mommy to baby boy Avyaan.

Days after conman Sukesh Chandrasekhar admitted dating Jacqueline Fernandez, an intimate pic of the two has been leaked speaking volumes about their relationship. In the pic, Sukesh was seen kissing Jacqueline while the actress was flaunting the hickey on her neck.

As Aamir Khan and Naga Chaitanya will be seen sharing the screen space for the first time in Laal Singh Chaddha, the makers are in awe of their onscreen chemistry. As a result, the makers are reportedly planning to add more scenes of the duo in the movie now. “After watching the first rush of the film, especially the scenes featuring Aamir and Naga, the makers were taken by surprise with the way they have turned out to be. Unanimously, filmmaker Advait Chandan and writer Atul Kulkarni feel Aamir and Naga’s on-screen chemistry is one of the biggest USPs of the film and so they mutually decided to incorporate more scenes of the actors that would benefit the film making it all the more interesting,” the source added.
