When the Badshah wins hearts
Superstar Shah Rukh Khan continues to win hearts, and its not just on screen. Producer Jackky Bhagnani can’t stop gushing about the actor’s humility after a recent interaction. “I just pray that I can become as good a human being as Shah Rukh sir,” he said, adding that the superstar’s stardom remains unmatched. But it’s the little things that seem to have floored him. “When he talks to you, he is only talking to you, he is fully present,” Jackky noted, clearly still in awe. Calling him “11 on 10”, he added, “He will personally walk you out,” proving once again that King Khan doesn’t quite play by the usual rules of stardom.
When did SRK shift out of Mannat?
Shah Rukh Khan and his family temporarily moved out of Mannat in early 2025 as the bungalow underwent extensive renovation and expansion work.
Ultimate healing
Actor Hansika Motwanni is choosing honesty over hush. Opening up about her divorce, she revealed how therapy became her anchor during a difficult phase. She shared that her family stood firmly by her, but it was a friend who nudged her towards seeking help. “I was in a very dark space… a friend picked me up during my dark phase and said let’s try therapy. That has helped me, guided me, and showed me how to be a better person.” From heartbreak to healing, Hansika seems to be doing the work and owning it.
What’s ‘Dhurandhar’ without ‘Shararat’?

Did you know that Dhurandhar’s viral track Shararat almost didn’t make the cut. Yes, really. Filmmaker Aditya Dhar has revealed he wasn’t entirely sold on the lip-sync dance number at first.

Praising choreographer Vijay Ganguly, he wrote, “With Vijay, it always begins with instinct. He doesn’t just hear music, he feels it, and then translates that feeling into something you can see.”
Recalling his hesitation, Aditya added, “I wasn’t fully convinced, but Vijay just smiled and said, ‘Let’s go for it, sir. It’ll be fun.’ That one push gave Shashwat [Sachdev] and me the confidence we needed.” Safe to say, that the “push” paid off.
