Indus Chronicles

In a recent episode of Bigg Boss OTT 3, tensions within the house reached a boiling point when Armaan Malik and Vishal Pandey engaged in a heated verbal exchange. Armaan called Vishal "machchar" (mosquito), hinting at his annoyance with him. The feud escalated when Armaan mocked Vishal’s viral ‘Kachcha Badaam’ video and accused him of hiding his phone, a claim Vishal dismissed as a joke. The relationship between the two soured further as their disagreements intensified.

Payal Malik’s reaction to the incident

Reacting to the incident, Payal Malik, Armaan’s wife, spoke in an exclusive interview with Moneycontrol.com, supporting her husband. "Armaan kabhi dil se kuch nahi kehte. Unhone aise he majaak mein kaha hoga. Sare gharvale jealous hai humse," she reiterated, emphasizing that Armaan’s comments should not be taken to heart as he often speaks in jest. Payal’s statement highlights her belief that the other housemates might be envious of their relationship.

Further escalation over food quality

The situation further escalated when Armaan and Vishal clashed over the quality of food. Armaan complained about the half-cooked rotis made by Vishal, leading to another argument. Vishal’s blunt response, suggesting Armaan cook the rotis himself if he didn’t like them, only added fuel to the fire. The argument carried over to the next day, underscoring the ongoing tension between the two contestants and their struggle to coexist peacefully.

Audience reaction to Armaan Malik's family dynamics

The inclusion of Armaan Malik and his two wives in Bigg Boss OTT 3 has divided viewers. Some appreciate the bold move to showcase a polygamous relationship, while others criticize it as a mere gimmick to boost ratings. This decision by the show’s producers has sparked widespread debate about the portrayal of unconventional family structures on national television, with Payal and Kritika's presence adding a unique dynamic to the show.

The aftermath of Payal Malik's eviction

Payal Malik’s eviction from the show has left Armaan and Kritika Malik to continue competing. Her departure has been a topic of discussion among fans, many of whom consider it unfair. Despite her eviction, Payal remains supportive of her family and continues to defend Armaan’s actions and behavior in the house. The ongoing drama and evolving dynamics within the house keep viewers engaged as Bigg Boss OTT 3 progresses.

Juhi Chawla and Shah Rukh Khan, longtime friends and co-stars, have shared a remarkable journey in Bollywood. Recently, Juhi offered a glimpse into Shah Rukh Khan's early days in Mumbai, starkly contrasting his superstardom today.

When Shah Rukh Khan Couldn’t Pay EMI  Speaking at an event, held by the Gujarat Chamber of Commerce & Industry in the state, Juhi revealed that Shah Rukh Khan, upon arriving in Mumbai, didn't have a permanent residence. He would travel from his hometown Delhi and seamlessly integrate with the film crew, often working double or triple shifts. Juhi mentioned his dedication during their projects together, including Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman, Dil Aashna Hai, and Deewana with Divya Bharti.

Juhi shared, “I remember Shah Rukh those days didn't have a home in Mumbai. So he used to come from Delhi (his hometown). I don't know where he stayed. He used to have tea with the unit (the film crew), eat with the unit, and blended in the unit seamlessly. He also did 2-3 shifts then.”

She further recalled, “He had a black Gypsy. But it was taken away one day because he couldn't pay the EMI, or there was something. He came on our set very dejected. I told him, ‘Don’t worry, you'll have many more cars one day.' And he still remembers that. Because it's true. Look at him today.” Shah Rukh Khan’s humble beginning Led to Stardom  Today, Shah Rukh Khan owns a fleet of luxury vehicles and resides in the iconic sea-facing bungalow, Mannat, in Bandra, Mumbai. Interestingly, Mannat even makes an appearance in the background of the song ‘Chaand Taare’ from their 1997 film Yes Boss.

Speaking of the professional front, while Shah Rukh Khan gears up for his upcoming film King, Juhi Chawla's last screen appearance was in The Railway Men.

Kartik Aaryan celebrated India's 2024 T20 World Cup victory, but he is upset that Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma have retired from T20 international cricket. In an interview with India Today, he described it as a major loss for Indian cricket. On June 29, India defeated South Africa by seven runs at the Kensington Oval, winning their second T20 World Cup since 2007.

Speaking on Team India's stunning success last night, Kartik told India Today, “I’m really happy and excited that India won the World Cup yesterday. It’s like a dream for all of us to witness this. The way Virat Kohli played in the finals and how Rohit Sharma said that he was saving it for the finals, even Suryakumar’s catch was unreal. This match was a perfect nail-biter and something which a lot of us won’t forget. Jasprit Bumrah in the end, Hardik Pandya, everyone – it was a team effort last night.”

He also talked about Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli’s retiring and said, “We won the World Cup, but sadly, we are losing two diamonds. Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are retiring. It definitely breaks my heart and fans’ too.”

Kartik Aaryan also took to social media to congratulate Team India. He marked the team the one that refused to surrender.

India stunned everyone by winning their second ICC T20 World Cup championship with a seven-run victory over South Africa at the Kensington Oval in Barbados on Saturday.

Hardik Pandya was moved to tears. Following the match, Bollywood flocked to social media to congratulate the squad.

India's previous T20 World Cup victory came under the leadership of MS Dhoni in 2007, making this recent triumph a long-awaited achievement. As the nation celebrated, the absence of Kohli and Sharma in future T20I matches cast a shadow over the festivities.

Legendary filmmaker Shankar is known for creating larger-than-life characters who fight for justice against societal evils. Films like Anniyan, Sivaji: The Boss, Mudhalvan, Gentleman and Hindustani are prime examples. His upcoming film Hindustani 2 continues this tradition.

In recent years, the concept of cinematic universes has become increasingly popular, with Lokesh Kanagaraj's Lokesh Cinematic Universe (LCU) featuring Kaithi, Vikram and Leo being a recent example. But Shankar reveals he had a similar vision way back in 2008, even before the trend emerged! Shankar's Opens Up About His Dream Project In an exclusive interview with News18 Showsha, Shankar shared a fascinating anecdote. "While filming Robot in 2008," he said, "I had this idea of creating a story that brings together Senapathy (played by Kamal Haasan) from Indian, one-day chief minister Shivaji Rao Gaekwad (played by Anil Kapoor) from Nayak and Sivaji (Rajinikanth) in one film." An Idea Ahead of Its Time Shankar's enthusiasm for this multi-starrer concept wasn't met with the response he expected. "I was so excited by the idea," he recalled. "I called my assistant directors and told them about it. But they just stared at me, unsure of how to react."

He further elaborated, "They probably thought I was crazy! The idea of bringing three iconic characters together in one film seemed outlandish at the time. Even senior technicians didn't quite know how to respond. They smiled politely but didn't seem to take it seriously." The Avengers Ignited a Familiar Spark Years later, upon watching The Avengers, Shankar was reminded of his own cinematic universe concept. "I confided in many people about this idea," he said, "but since no one responded positively, I shelved it. Then came The Avengers, and it reignited that spark within me." Shankar's Hindustani 2 Set for Release While the multi-star project remains on hold, Shankar's directorial venture Hindustani 2 is gearing up for release. The film, a sequel to the Hindi blockbuster Indian, is slated for a global theatrical release on July 12 in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu. The film stars Siddharth, Kajal Aggarwal Kitchlu and Rakul Preet Singh alongside the original protagonist, played by Kamal Haasan.

Veteran actor Govind Namdev has shared his experience of working with Bollywood superstars Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan. In an interview with Bollywood Bubble, Govind Namdev recalled his time with Shah Rukh Khan on the sets of Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani (2000).

Shah Rukh Khan will smoke like a chimney and keep working According to Govind Namdev, Shah Rukh Khan's work ethic was unparalleled, as he would work tirelessly, often for just four hours of sleep, and constantly think about his next project. “I had heard a lot about workaholics, jinhe sirf kaam ki dhun hoti hai. I had heard about them, but I saw it the first time when I worked with Shah Rukh Khan,” Govind Namdev said.

He further recalled, “We worked throughout the day, then at night he mingled with the whole crew, we ate together and then, because he was also the producer, he worked till 2 AM. The next day, he had to take an early morning flight to Chennai to attend a function, then come back and resume shooting! He would’ve slept for not more than three and a half or four hours maximum. Kaam mein dhuni hai woh. He will smoke like a chimney and keep working, keep thinking about what to do next. Superstars usually have this attitude, these tantrums, but not him.” Govind Namdev recalls shooting Wanted with Salman Khan Govind Namdev also shared his experience of working with Salman Khan on the sets of Wanted (2009). Unlike Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan didn't interact much with the crew and focused solely on his work. Govind Namdev noted that Salman Khan would occasionally share stories about his childhood and his father, Salim Khan, but otherwise kept to himself.

In his words, “He doesn’t interact much, sirf kaam se kaam. There was no personal talk at all. Just sometimes how unke father kaise hote the, kuch bhi tedha kiya toh padti thi humko‘ (Salman would share how if the kids did anything naughty, they would get a beating by their father Salim). That’s it. He is the opposite of Shah Rukh Khan as far as interacting with others is concerned.”

Speaking of the professional front, the veteran actor was last seen in Vicky Kaushal’s Sam Bahadur. Meanwhile, Salman Khan is currently shooting for Sikandar and Shah Rukh is vacationing in London with friends and family.

After a month of speculation about Aditya Roy Kapur’s next project with directors Raj & DK, the news is confirmed – it's a web series titled Rakhtabeej. Aditya will be leading the show and sharing the screen with Samantha Ruth Prabhu, reuniting her with the director duo after their successful collaborations on The Family Man 2 and the upcoming Citadel: Honey Bunny.

After his OTT debut in The Night Manager last year, it seems the actor has found a new platform to showcase his talent. According to a report in Mid-day, sources revealed that Kapur was in discussions with Raj & DK for the past six months before finally signing on to the project in May. The hunt for the leading lady didn't take long either, with Samantha Prabhu quickly coming on board.

Given the action-heavy nature of Rakhtabeej, both Kapur and Prabhu have reportedly begun their preparations for their roles. The actors are also expected to participate in joint training sessions to further enhance their on-screen chemistry and combat skills.

While Raj & DK are currently focused on completing the third season of The Family Man, their commitment to Rakhtabeej remains strong. If all goes according to plan, filming for the new series will begin in August. ALSO READ: Samantha Ruth Prabhu sets new travel goals with her latest photos from Scotland

While Armaan Malik is receiving extensive flak and hatred outside the house from several netizens and celebrities who condemned his act of marrying two women, the YouTuber-Influencer remains unaffected by this. His wife Payal, who is now married to him for almost 11 years, recently recalled how her husband and her best friend Kritika broke the news of their marriage to her, further confessing that narrating this incident always makes her emotional.

Promo of Payal Malik narrating Armaan and Kritika’s marriage

Payal Malik was recently seen having a conversation with her co-contestants in a recently released promo of the reality show. The influencer opened up about how Armaan and Kritika informed her about their marriage. She said, "Ek din main bahar thi aur ye dono the kahin saath mein inhone baat kari hogi aapas mein ke shaadi karte hain toh usne bhi keh diya karte hain. Ye dono shaadi karke aagaye. Mere paas phone aaya Arre Payal ek na khushkhabri deni hai, Main inki harr ek cheez samajh jaati hoon. Maine kaha tumne Shaadi kar li (One day I was out and the two of them were together somewhere and they decided among themselves that they should get married, and she agreed as well. And then, these got married. I got his call saying, ‘Payal I wanna give you a good news’ I understand his each and every habit. I immediately asked him if he got married)?”

Payal breaks down

While everyone was listening to the story intently, tarot card reader and co-contestant Munisha Khatwani chimmed in and asked, "Tumko nahi laga inhone bahut bada dhokha diya hai. Aap ki friend, Aap ki best friend hoke, aap ke husband ke saath shaadi kiya? (Didn't you feel that they betrayed you? Your friend, your best friend, got married to your husband?)” This question left Payal quite upset and the latter ended up breaking down. While Armaan rushed to console her saying, “Abhi toh Khush hona tum, abhi saat saal ho gaye. Kabhi kabhi toh mujhe aisa lagta hai ki inn dono (Payal and Krithika) ki shaadi hui hai (Now you are happy right? It has been seven years. Sometimes, I feel like it is those two who have gotten married)”.

Apart from Armaan, even Ranvir Shorey and the rest of the contestants came to console Payal. The latter confessed that she often gets emotional while narrating this incident. Ranvir applauded Payal’s courage and said, “Aapka dil bahut bada hai (you have a big heart)”. Many of the other contestants too tried to calm her and appreciated her strength.

Yesterday, the fans and trade got a surprise as it was announced that Baby John will now arrive on Christmas. It was originally scheduled to be released in theatres on May 31 but now has been pushed to December 25. It is backed by Jio Studios and in an interesting development, the production house has managed to book all the three major holidays of 2024 for their exciting releases. While Stree 2 will arrive on Independence Day (August 15), Singham Again has been locked for a Diwali release. This decision marks a significant step in Jio Studios' efforts to capitalize on festive periods, which traditionally see higher cinema footfalls.

Stree 2 is the sequel to the 2018 horror-comedy hit, Stree. The original star cast – Rajkummar Rao, Shraddha Kapoor, Abhishek Banerjee, Aparshakti Khurana and Pankaj Tripathi – feature in the second installment. The film is even more awaited after the success of the recent release Munjya, which was also set in the same cinematic universe. It is also produced by Dinesh Vijan’s Maddock Films and directed by Amar Kaushik.

Singham Again, meanwhile, has tremendous buzz due to the association of blockbuster director Rohit Shetty. Ajay once again reprises his role of Bajirao Singham and this time, he’s joined by Kareena Kapoor Khan, Akshay Kumar, Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone and Tiger Shroff. Though it’ll clash with Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, which is another highly awaited film, the charismatic presence of its leading man, the high-octane action (a hallmark of the series) and its patriotic fervour are sure to pull in viewers.

Finally, Baby John stars Varun Dhawan, Keerthy Suresh and Wamiqa Gabbi and is produced by Jawan director Atlee. Details about Baby John are still under wraps, but buzz suggests it will be a family-oriented film with a mix of humour and heartwarming moments. Christmas, a time for family gatherings and celebrations, could provide the perfect setting for audiences to flock to theatres for this flick.

With this strategic scheduling, Jio Studios not only aims to maximize viewership but also sets the stage for setting new box office records. As the second half of 2024 approaches, movie enthusiasts have much to look forward to, and Jio Studios' holiday trio will undoubtedly be at the centre of cinematic excitement.

In a chat with HTCity, actor Sonia Rathee, who starred opposite the late Siddharth Shukla in Broken But Beautiful season 3, expressed her approval of the decision to forgo the fourth season of the show. “I think the gesture is brilliant,” Rathee, 35, said. “I don’t think Agastya (Shukla) and Rumi’s (Rathee) story should have gone forward without Siddharth. It wouldn’t have felt right.”

Honoring a legacy

It’s been three years since Siddharth Shukla’s untimely demise in September 2021, shortly after the release of Broken But Beautiful 3 in May of the same year. To honor his memory, producer-director Ekta Kapoor announced that the series will not continue without him. Rathee added, “This is actually a very beautiful homage to him. Ekta knew season four cannot be made with anybody else but him. He definitely deserved an homage and it’s quite beautiful that they decided to do that because he kind of encapsulates what Agastya was, and Rumi’s story can’t go on without him.”

Memories on set

Reflecting on her time with Shukla, Rathee, who was last seen in Tara Vs Bilal (2022), recalled how nervous she was initially, being new to the craft. She shared, “I remember it was my first day on set and it was my second scene shooting the show and I had to cry...I was so nervous. I was working myself up and had already taken eight takes. He just took me aside and said ‘it’s ok, chill. Main raat bhar rahunga yaha. It’s fine.’ And he did that several times during the filming of the series.”

Unmatchable aura

Rathee praised Shukla’s supportive nature and unmatchable aura, stating she felt “blessed” to have worked with him. “He was a mentor to me. I remember having long conversations where he would advise me, all because I was so new. Every time I look back at it, I remember all the things he used to tell me, and they ring so true.”

Grateful reflections

Sonia Rathee’s reflections on her time with Siddharth Shukla are filled with gratitude and admiration. “I learned so much from him. He definitely brought confidence in me, and I will always be grateful for that. I will always reflect back on that time with such a filled heart, and it will always make me happy,” she concluded.
