Ahead of the Weekend Ka Vaar episode, a promo for Bigg Boss 19 has revealed housemates labeling wild card entrant Malti Chahar as a “red flag.”

The channel shared a promo on Instagram, asking: “Kya Malti hai gharwaalon ke liye cooperative ya hai woh red flag? Dekhiye #BiggBoss19 ka naya episode, har roz raat 9 baje #JioHotstar par aur 10:30 baje @colorstv par.”

The promo kicks off with Salman Khan addressing Malti, noting her entry into the house midway through the season. He remarked, “Some people must have felt insecurity, right?” Nehal Chudasama concurred, subtly pointing towards Tanya Mittal.

Salman then prompted the housemates to determine if Malti is a “green flag or a red flag.” Tanya quickly quipped, “Should I give her the whole thing (flags)? All the red flags belong to her.” Baseer criticized Malti for offering excuses whenever she answered, while Nehal described her as “unwilling, uncooperative,” also giving her the red flag. Farrhana added that Malti only seeks a “fight.”

In a lighter moment, Salman asked Malti, “So Malti, before you came here, did you read your palm?”

In the upcoming Weekend Ka Vaar episode, Salman will also confront Neelam Giri, suggesting that she appears to be a “weak competitor.” He pointed out that her opinions seldom emerge in the house. During a candid discussion, Salman inquired about Neelam’s role in the playground task. Neelam explained that contestants were supposed to “say the negatives of other housemates.” To this, Salman remarked, referencing Neelam’s refusal to cook, “So what did Gaurav do wrong that made you angry at everyone?”

Neelam replied, “I didn’t want to do it, that’s why I refused.” Salman emphasized, “This is the problem. In this house, your opinion doesn’t come out. The truth is that you are such a weak competitor that they don’t feel threatened by you.”

The promo was also shared on Instagram, captioned: “Salman ne diya Neelam ko sach ka dose! Dekhiye #BiggBoss19 ka naya episode, har roz raat 9 baje #JioHotstar par aur 10:30 baje @colorstv par.”

The show airs on Colors and JioHotstar.

The story revolves around a seemingly charming woman whose childlike naivety conceals her razor-sharp wit. Ambitious and cunning, she easily outsmarts those around her. When an enticing opportunity arises, she leaps at it but finds herself entangled in unexpected twists and darkly humorous situations that challenge her cleverness at every turn.

Career Highlights

Neil, son of playback singer Nitin Mukesh and grandson of legendary singer Mukesh, began his career as a child artist in Vijay (1988) and Jaisi Karni Waisi Bharnii (1989). He made his full-fledged debut in the title role of Johnny Gaddaar in 2007.

Since then, he has appeared in notable films like New York, Prem Ratan Dhan Payo, Golmaal Again, and Saaho. He also marked his Tamil film debut with Kaththi and ventured into Telugu cinema with Kavacham.

Family Moments

Last month, Neil celebrated his daughter Nurvi’s seventh birthday. He shared a touching note expressing his love, saying, “Love you the most in this world.”

On Instagram, he uploaded a series of adorable pictures of his daughter, writing: “My life. Love you the most in this world, my darling daughter Nurvi. Happy 7th Birthday my jaan. Have the best year ahead. God bless you with all the happiness. #2025 #birthdaygirl #papas #love #unconditionallove.”

Filmmaker Shekhar Kapur has opened up about how his daughter, Kaveri Kapur, played a pivotal role in his diagnosis of Dyslexia.

The creator of ‘Masoom’ shared that Kaveri disclosed her own experience with dyslexia. After she insisted on taking an online test, it was revealed that while she was mildly dyslexic, Shekhar was diagnosed as severely dyslexic.

In a heartfelt social media post, he recalled, “Some years ago, my daughter said she had dyslexia. Her teacher commented this was often a ruse that students used to get more time for their exams. My daughter insisted on doing an online experiment, and guess what? She was a little Dyslexic, but to my amazement, I was severely Dyslexic. And now it started to make sense for me..”

Shekhar revealed that he still finds forms intimidating and expressed his astonishment at having become a Chartered Accountant despite his learning challenges. “I am petrified of forms… like the ones that you have to fill in on an everyday basis. Always have been. The moment I look at one, I go into a state of panic. I thought I was just irresponsible and lazy. But how did I become a Chartered Accountant? And a pretty successful one too? It’s still a mystery to me..,” he shared.

Discussing the pervasive effects of Dyslexia on his life, particularly in filmmaking, Shekhar elaborated, “And films? My line producers, the ones who are actually in charge of making the film, often said, ‘Shekhar won’t read the schedule, but yet will find a way to finish the day on schedule.’ I and everybody else would laugh it off, until I accepted my Dyslexia and realized that I wasn’t escaping reading the form, but just couldn’t make sense of it.”

He concluded his thoughts by reflecting on how he has maneuvered through his Dyslexia creatively, stating, “I realized how I had always worked around it and compensated for my Dyslexia in making my films. Perhaps some of the great creative moments I have experienced are not despite my Dyslexia, but because of it! I am amazed at the number of brilliant creative people with Dyslexia. Is there a link? I wonder..”

Rashmika Mandanna has expressed her love for the song ‘Rahein Na Rahein Hum’ from her upcoming film “Thamma.” She mentioned that her furry friend Aura is also enjoying the track alongside her.

In an Instagram post, Rashmika shared a video of herself sitting with Aura and listening to the freshly released song. She wrote in her caption, “This was the first song I heard from the film while shooting, and still… I’m in LOVE with this song.”

Rashmika further added, “Also can we talk about Aura vibing with meee? Imagine she knew that the girl on the screen is me.. she would be so confused! I wish she could talk ya! or rather sing this song!!”

The touching love song “Rahein Na Rahein Hum” was unveiled recently and is sung by Soumyadeep Sarkar. The track is composed by the popular duo Sachin–Jigar and features lyrics by the renowned Amitabh Bhattacharya.

Sachin-Jigar mentioned that ‘Rahein Na Rahein Hum’ speaks to the ‘heart.’ They shared: “Rahein Na Rahein Hum is one of those songs that speak to the heart. We wanted to capture the quiet ache of separation — the kind that isn’t loud, but stays with you. Amitabh Bhattacharya’s lyrics express that feeling beautifully, and Soumyadeep’s voice brings it to life with such honesty. It’s a song we hope will resonate with anyone who has ever loved deeply.”

“Thamma” features Ayushmann Khurrana as Alok, with Rashmika playing the role of Tadaka, Nawazuddin Siddiqui as Yakshasan, and Paresh Rawal as Ram Bajaj Goyal, among others. The film is set for a theatrical release on October 21, coinciding with Diwali.

Arpita, the youngest sister of Bollywood star Salman Khan, wore a beautiful striped purple and gold traditional outfit, holding a decorated sieve and gazing lovingly at Aayush, who was dressed in a white kurta.

For the caption, they referenced the song “Dekho Chand Aya” from the 2007 film “Saawariya,” starring Ranbir Kapoor and Sonam Kapoor.

Aayush and Arpita tied the knot in November 2014. The couple has two children: a son named Ahil born in 2016 and a daughter, Ayat, who arrived in 2019.

Aayush made his Bollywood debut in 2018, starring in Salman Khan’s production Loveyatri alongside newcomer Warina Hussain. In 2020, he and Saiee Manjrekar appeared in the music video “Manjha” by Vishal Mishra.

His major breakthrough came in 2021 when he played a gangster opposite Salman in Antim. He is set to feature next in the action film Kwatha alongside Isabelle Kaif, a project that has been delayed since 2019.

His most recent appearance was in “Ruslaan,” an action film directed by Karan Lalit Butani, featuring Aayush alongside Sushrii Shreya Mishraa, Jagapathi Babu, and Vidya Malvade. The film follows Ruslaan, the son of a terrorist, who is adopted by ATS officer Sameer Singh. To free himself from the stigma of being a terrorist’s son, Ruslaan joins RAW without Sameer’s knowledge, leading him into complex and perilous situations.

Meanwhile, Salman Khan, currently hosting “Bigg Boss 19,” is gearing up for his next film “The Battle Of Galwan.” This film centers on the Galwan stand-off between India and China that took place on June 15, 2020, amid the first wave of the Covid-19 pandemic.

During this clash in the Galwan Valley of eastern Ladakh, Indian and Chinese troops engaged in fierce confrontations, resulting in the deaths of 20 Indian soldiers, while China also faced casualties. This incident marked the deadliest India–China face-off in over four decades, heightening tensions and prompting both nations to bolster troop deployments and engage in diplomatic discussions to prevent further conflict.

The makers of director Shanmugam Muthusamy’s eagerly awaited action thriller ‘Diesel’ have released the film’s trailer, much to the delight of fans and film enthusiasts. The film, featuring Harish Kalyan and Athulyaa Ravi in lead roles, is set to create a buzz.

Actor Harish Kalyan shared the trailer link on his X timeline, expressing his excitement with the post: “#Diesel trailer is here for you all! #DieselDiwali.”

Trailer Highlights

The trailer opens with a striking commentary on fuel prices. A voice questions, “Petrol is sold for Rs 100 and diesel is sold for Rs 90 in the market. But if these people are able to sell the same petrol for Rs 75 and diesel for Rs 65, where do they get it from?”

As the narrative unfolds, we discover a massive mafia operating behind this racket, with Harish Kalyan’s character revealed as the mastermind.

In addition to the action, the trailer hints at a romantic angle involving Kalyan’s character. The plot thickens as it becomes clear that around two crore litres of oil have been stolen, and those in pursuit must locate it within three days. This adds urgency, especially with a reported fuel shortage in the city.

Character Cast

Vinay Rai plays a cop entangled in this thrilling narrative, while Sachin Kedhekar portrays the antagonist. Notably, Kedhekar’s character chillingly remarks, “If we want them to feel fear, the losses they suffer must be huge.”

Among the intriguing dialogues, Harish Kalyan’s character delivers a memorable line: “Thinking that the crowd will only watch, two incompetent umpires have started the game believing that they will be able to win it easily because it’s been started at a time when I was not around. But we need to make those two umpires understand how the game will be, if a gifted player enters the field.”

The trailer wraps up with the revelation that Kalyan’s character is called Diesel in the film, which is scheduled to release on October 17 for Deepavali this year.

Supporting Cast and Crew

The film will also feature an impressive supporting cast, including Sai Kumar, Ananya, Karunaas, Bose Venkat, Ramesh Tilak, Kaali Venkat, Vivek Prasanna, Zakir Husain, Thangadurai, Maaran, KPY Dheena, and Apoorva Singh among others.

For those unfamiliar, Karwa Chauth is a festival mainly observed in North India, where married women fast from sunrise to moonrise for the well-being and longevity of their husbands. The rituals include “sargi” in the morning, a day-long fast, and breaking the fast upon sighting the moon, followed by prayers with the husband.
