For their caption, they wrote, “4 years of us.

What we’ve built is more than time; it’s trust, patience, friendship, and home. If this is what four years feel like, we’re ready for the long, long lifetime ahead. Always us. #AnVI ki Kahani #HappyAnniversary #BetterTogether.”

Ankita Lokhande and businessman Vicky Jain tied the knot on December 14, 2021, in a lavish traditional ceremony in Mumbai, following several years of dating.

Both Ankita and Vikas appeared together as contestants on the reality show “Bigg Boss 17.” They also teamed up for a new music video titled “Laa Pila De Sharaab,” which starred actor Saurabh Sachdev.

In April, Ankita and Vicky celebrated six years since they first met and began dating. To commemorate the occasion, the ‘Pavitra Rishta’ actress shared her initial uncertainties about how they had arrived at this point, but emphasized that they were truly enjoying their journey together.

Sharing their images, Ankita wrote, “Last night we celebrated six years of ‘we met, we dated, we’re still not sure how we ended up here, but we’re lovin’ it’ kind of love.”

As one of Bollywood’s most iconic films, “Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham” has now completed 24 years since its release. Kajol took to Instagram to share a heartfelt message for all the Anjalis out there, encouraging them to stay hopeful.

Found a hotel right in the centre of it all. Where culture knocks before you leave the room, music hums outside the window, and the city, literally a short walk away… in every direction. If you’re coming to Amsterdam, this shall be your ‘start here’ button.”

Stylish Look and Joyful Vibes

In the images shared, Rithvikk sported a black jacket paired with blue denims and stylish sunglasses. His candid poses exuded relaxation and happiness, perfectly capturing the vacation mood.

Rithvikk frequently shares glimpses of his life via social media, offering fans moments from his travels, work commitments, and everyday experiences.

Recent Projects

On the work front, the actor recently appeared in the series “Half Love Half Arranged S2,” alongside Karan Wahi and Maanvi Gagroo. Reflecting on his role, Rithvikk expressed, “Stepping into the world of Half Love Half Arranged has been a thrilling ride. Ved is a character who embraces life with a certain lightness and joy, which I think will appeal to viewers.

She also posted a candid photo of the ‘Baahubali’ star on her Instagram, capturing him looking charming while relaxing in a restaurant. Miheeka’s birthday wish read, “Happy happy birthday my love! @ranadaggubati ❤️ (sic).”

To refresh your memory, Rana made their relationship Instagram official in May 2020 by sharing a picture of them together, captioned, “And she said yes!” This was followed by a traditional roka ceremony at home. The couple eventually tied the knot in August 2020 amid the COVID-19 pandemic, with the wedding in Hyderabad attended by close friends and family.

In another update, Rana received accolades from his ‘Kaantha’ co-star Bhagyashrii, who described him as a true friend and a “gem of a person.”

When asked about Bhagyashrii’s kind words, Rana expressed his gratitude, stating, “First, it was very kind of her to say that. Bhagyashrii was so sincere, and it’s hard for someone to move away from their place. She came from Bombay, and we told her she would need to learn Tamil to be in the film. She stayed here for six months to learn Tamil, which is rare these days.”

He further praised her dedication, saying, “The sincerity that she has shown is extraordinary. You can see it in the film. We were nervous at the beginning, especially since we had Dulquer and Samuthirakani sir. It’s lovely to say you want a new girl to match up with them, but the performance is what truly matters. From the first few months of her tests, we knew we had found our Kumari.”

Singer and music composer Amaal Malik recently opened up about navigating controversies in the public eye.

In an exclusive interview, he revealed that the impact of these controversies is felt more acutely by his family than by himself. When asked how these incidents have influenced his life, Amaal stated, “My family gets affected more than me. I’ve answered everything I needed to over the years. But I reached a point where I wondered—how many people am I going to answer? People can see the truth now. I don’t go around tweeting and reacting like I used to. Whatever I am—not hundred percent, but three hundred percent—you have seen on Bigg Boss. This is who I am.”

Reflecting on his parents’ reactions to his journey, Amaal expressed that they are very happy and have been spending significant time at his home. He mentioned that they provided gentle feedback, particularly about moments where he could have managed his aggression better. “They’re very happy. They’ve been staying at my house constantly. They pointed out where I could’ve controlled my aggression better, especially the plate incident. But overall, they’re proud. Whatever I felt, they felt the same.”

When discussing emotional moments from the show, especially with the arrival of his brother and father, Amaal highlighted the deep connections those experiences brought to light. He also shared stories about his grandfather and his mother’s struggles on national television.

“If someone asks me about my entire journey, I will answer honestly. I’m not afraid to speak my truth. People worry about their image or their following. I don’t. If I’m telling my story, I will tell it fully. Some things my parents felt I could have said differently—naturally, their perspective is different from mine. They weren’t living inside that house. But I spoke from my heart,” he explained.

Amaal Malik finished as the 4th runner-up in the reality show “Bigg Boss 19.”

A source close to the production shared, “Sonali Kulkarni’s character is one of the most powerful we’ve ever seen on screen. She plays the mother of the protagonist, and her presence is reminiscent of Sivagami from Baahubali—commanding, dignified, and emotionally layered.”

Additionally, Raghav Juyal, known from “The Ba*ds of Bollywood,” has been cast in a pivotal role in “The Paradise.”

In July, welcoming Raghav on board for his birthday, the production house SLV Cinemas announced, “Team #TheParadise wishes the talented @TheRaghav_Juyal a very Happy Birthday.

The plot revolves around a unique scenario where ancient myths begin coming to life.

Under the direction of Deepak Mishra and produced by Arunabh Kumar, the film is backed by Ekta Kapoor through her banner, Balaji Motion Pictures, in collaboration with The Viral Fever (TVF). The makers have been generating excitement for the project with each new update.

Tamannaah Joins the Cast

She was also seen lighting a lamp and encountering a sign that read, “Warning: Entering the forest after sunset isn’t allowed,” although her face was not revealed in the video.

Release Date Announcement

“Vvan: Force of the Forest” is set to hit cinema halls on 15th May 2026. The makers excitedly shared the release date on social media, stating, “The forest has whispered. The force will be unleashed on 15th May, 2026! Get ready for the big screen adventure!”

Two of Bollywood’s most versatile actors, Anupam Kher and Boman Irani, recently enjoyed some food and fun together.

In a video shared on social media, Kher asked Boman, “How did you like today’s food?” Boman humorously replied that while the food was okay, the company could have been better, taking a light-hearted jab at his friend. A laughing Boman then added, “the company was superb sir, superb.”

While reminiscing about their beloved film “Khosla Ka Ghosla,” Boman mentioned that they would be meeting again in January, hinting that the much-anticipated sequel, “Khosla Ka Ghosla 2,” might begin production in the first month of next year. The caption on the post read, “Company could have been BETTER! Khosla meets Khurana!”

The sequel was recently confirmed by producer Savita Raj Hiremath. Unlike the original, which was directed by Dibakar Banerjee, the new film will be helmed by Umesh Bisht, known for “Gyaarah Gyaarah” and “Pagglait,” taking over the reins from Banerjee.

Regarding the cast, Kher, Boman, and Ranvir Shorey are expected to reprise their roles from the original film. Initially, Huma Qureshi was announced as the leading lady, but it seems she has opted out of the project.

The original film, produced by Savita Raj Hiremath under Taandav Films, in collaboration with Ronnie Screwvala from UTV Motion Pictures, was scripted by Jaideep Sahni. It features Kher, Boman, Parvin Dabas, Vinay Pathak, Ranvir Shorey, and Tara Sharma in pivotal roles.

“Khosla Ka Ghosla” tells the story of Kamal Kishore Khosla (played by Kher), a middle-class man from Delhi who, along with his family, strives to reclaim their land seized by a builder named Khurana (played by Boman).

This beloved film was later remade in Tamil as “Poi Solla Porom” and in Kannada as “Rame Gowda vs Krishna Reddy.”

Television actress Mahhi Vij expressed her love and gratitude in an adorable birthday post for her mother on social media.

Celebrating Special Moments

In her heartfelt video, Mahhi and her mother were seen tapping their feet to the classic number “Lag Ja Gale” from the 1964 film “Woh Kaun Thi?”. This touching moment showcased their close bond.

A Tribute to Her Mother

Mahhi wrote a sentimental note alongside the post, calling her mother her “quiet strength.” She penned, “Happy Birthday, Mom ❤️ You are the quiet strength behind every dream I dare to chase. While I step into the world, you hold my world in your arms—loving my daughter the way only a mother can, the way only you can.”

Showing immense gratitude, Mahhi continued, “You gave up so much without ever making it feel like a sacrifice, so my dreams could breathe and grow. Thank you for choosing us, again and again—because we would choose you in every lifetime, every birth, every universe.”

Her Latest Work

On the professional front, Mahhi has made her return to television with Colors’ latest show, “Seher Hone Ko Hai,” which features Rishita Kothari as her daughter.

Reflecting on her relationship with Rishita off-screen, Mahhi said, “I have become her mother off-screen too. I am always fussing over her, asking if she has eaten, if she needs anything, if she’s tired. I keep telling her she should tell her mom to disown her because I am ready to adopt her! That’s the kind of bond we have developed.”

Bonding on Set

“She’s such a sweet, calm energy on set, and because this is her debut, I automatically feel protective of her, the way you do for your own child who’s stepping into a big new world. We have a lot of fun together, but we also learn from each other,” Mahhi added.
