By -
There’s something undeniably timeless about the mermaid gown — a silhouette that hugs the body till the knees and then flares out dramatically, much like a mermaid’s tail. Elegant, sensual, and perfectly sculpted, this style has long been a red-carpet favourite across the globe, and now Bollywood’s leading ladies are giving it their own spin.

By -
Rachit Singh was recently seen as a Betaal in Aditya Sarpotdar’s Thamma. The film was a part of the Maddock Horror Comedy Universe. But much before making his film debut in the movie, Rachit has been working as an acting coach, who has trained quite a few actors. One of them is Shanaya Kapoor, who made her acting debut earlier this year in Santosh Singh’s Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan, in which she was cast opposite Vikrant Massey. In an exclusive chat with Bollywood Hungama, Rachit said that the world will see Shanaya’s true talent in her upcoming projects. “You will now watch Shanaya’s actual potential,” he said. “Till now, we have only seen her in her first film. She is doing quite a few films in which she is playing different types of characters. She is a very hardworking girl.” Rachit has also trained Aneet Padda, who hit a jackpot earlier this year with Mohit Suri’s Saiyaara. He gave her example for Shanaya saying, “Like how Saiyaara happened to Aneet. Of course, Aneet is very good b...

Rakul Preet Singh says her name is a blend of her parents’ names: “Created a combination of their love”

By -
A recent clip from Rakul Preet Singh’s interview with Shubhankar Mishra has started making the rounds on social media, drawing attention to the unique story behind the actress’ name. Rakul, who is currently seen in De De Pyaar De 2, had spoken about how her parents created her name by combining their own. In the resurfaced snippet, Rakul explained, “My dad’s name is Kulwinder and my mom’s name is Rajinder. Rajinder + Kulwinder became Rakul… the first alphabets. They did this back in 1990. And if you notice, there’s no one else with this name—I haven’t heard of another Rakul so far. So they created a combination of their love, like their daughter is the symbol of that.” While many found the story sweet, social media users were quick to point out that the idea of blending parents’ names to form a child’s isn’t new. Several netizens chimed in with examples from the entertainment industry and beyond. Some comments also focused on the terminology, with a user saying, “First alphabets nai ...

Ninad Kamat reveals he lost a “big film” role after a four-round audition, says social media and lobbying have killed the art: “Very different ball game today”

By -
Veteran actor and voice artist Ninad Kamat, known for his extensive work across films, advertising, and dubbing, opened up about the emotional toll of constant auditions and rejections—even after spending over three decades in the entertainment industry. In a conversation with Digital Commentary, he revealed that the struggle for roles persists even with experience. Sharing a recent incident, Kamat said he had auditioned just a week ago for a major film. Despite being called four times for the same character, he was eventually told he did not cut. “Even after 31 years, you still have to audition,” he said. “Just a week ago, I gave an audition. And then came a heartbreaking rejection. It was a very big film—I can’t name it. I auditioned four times for one of the three main characters, travelling from Mahim to Andheri Versova each time. Three days ago, I was told, ‘Sorry, sir.’” Kamat added that he had worked extensively on fine-tuning the character. “I picked a slight North Indian ac...

Kalyani Priyadarshan gets a retro makeover for Divine’s ‘You and I’ teaser — a stylish shift from her Lokah persona

By -
Kalyani Priyadarshan has taken audiences by surprise with her latest appearance in the teaser of upcoming track ‘You and I’, in collaboration with Divine. Known for her rooted, intense presence as Chandra in Lokah: Chapter 1, the actress shifts gears entirely, stepping into a retro-cool avatar that leans heavily into vintage fashion cues and a distinctly groovy mood-scape. In the brief teaser, Kalyani channels a look that blends old-school charm with contemporary edge — think classic silhouettes, textured styling, and a relaxed, rhythm-friendly vibe that instantly sets a different tone from her recent film persona. Rather than making the moment about glamour, the styling feels more like an atmospheric shift, as if she’s tapping into a fashion era that brings out a new, experimental side of her. The contrast is unmistakable and adds to the intrigue around the music video. The transition is especially interesting considering her last big outing in Lokah: Chapter 1 – Chandra, the Malaya...

Vivek Oberoi reveals he received death threats while shooting Kurbaan: “We know you are here, khatam kar denge”

By -
Vivek Oberoi has revisited one of the most unsettling incidents of his career — the time he received death threats while filming the Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor Khan-starrer Kurbaan. In a recent interview with Pinkvilla, the actor shared that he was caught off guard by a threatening message left on the answering machine during the film’s shoot in the United States. Recalling the moment, Vivek said, “I was shooting for Kurbaan in the US and they left a threat on the (answering machine) system and as per law, I had to report it to the authorities there.” He revealed that authorities questioned him immediately, but he had no context for the menacing message. “I told them, ‘I don’t know anything’. I just landed up in this, where they were saying, ‘We know you are here, khatam kar denge, uda denge (we will finish you, we will shoot you).’ They were saying such things. And they traced that number back to Pakistan. And they said it’s a real number which has been flagged, that’s when I ...
