Adnan Sami commemorated his late father’s birthday with an emotional tribute, sharing how deeply he feels the absence in his life. The singer-composer referred to his father as his “everything,” expressing that he still hears his father’s voice in his heart each time he creates music.

Taking to Instagram, Adnan posted a collection of old photographs of his father. One image includes him alongside his father, while another showcases an AI-generated video of his daughter, Medina, with her grandfather.

In the caption, Adnan conveyed his heartfelt emotions: “Baba, today would’ve been your day. I’m thinking of you so much it hurts. You were my everything – best friend, mentor, guide.” He shared that every time he sings, plays the piano, or composes, he feels his father’s presence, as if he is still there, supporting and believing in him.

“Every time I sing, play the piano or compose a new piece of music, I hear your voice in my heart, encouraging me, believing in me. I miss you beyond words can ever describe,” he expressed.

Reflecting on his daughter, Adnan noted how painful it is that his father cannot witness her growing up. “Medina’s growing up, and it’s breaking my heart you’re not here to see it. You would have adored her more than anything in the world. I see you in her so much – her smile, her fascination for the world… She loves you so much even though she’s never met you in person…it’s like you’re still here,” he wrote.

He also shared that in moments of confusion, he often wonders what his father would have done, which helps him find clarity, as if guided spiritually. “There’s not a day that goes by when I don’t think of you, Baba. Sometimes I just need your shoulder or a warm hug to reassure me that ‘Everything will be okay!’ Whenever I’m confused about a matter, I ask myself ‘what would Baba have done’ & with that thought, I come out with a solution as if you spiritually nudged me… I wish you were here.”

Adnan concluded his message with a tender birthday wish for his father in heaven, affirming that his love will remain eternal. “I love you, Baba. Forever… Happy Birthday in Heaven InshaAllah…”

The upcoming episode of the streaming sketch comedy show “The Great Indian Kapil Show” Season 4 features superstars of Bihari cinema. Pawan Singh, Manoj Tiwari, and Dinesh “Nirahua” Lal Yadav bring high energy to the couch as host Kapil Sharma effortlessly matches their vibe. Dressed in his Netaji avatar, Kapil transforms the set into a mini rally, playfully teasing Manoj Tiwari about his omnipresence wherever there’s music and fans.

The laughter escalates when Nirahua drops a hilarious truth bomb about Manoj Tiwari’s drivers: “Pehle Ravi, fir Pawan, aur ab Dinesh.” As Kapil connects the dots on air, the audience erupts in laughter while Manoj attempts to downplay the coincidence, which only makes the moment funnier. Amidst the jokes, Pawan Singh adds his personal style rules: if it’s a bad day, outfit repeat is off the table. With Manoj sitting next to him in black, the subtle roast hits hard, as Kapil masters the juggling of driver names, fashion rules, and nonstop banter.

The iconic song “Lollipop Lagelu” unites the stars, cast, and audience, complete with claps, whistles, and a little dance, bringing the episode to a high point that feels celebratory, familiar, and perfectly aligned with the show’s spirit.

Earlier, actors Kartik Aaryan and Ananya Panday made an appearance, addressing red flags, green flags, and relationship norms of the current generation. They explored what Gen Z genuinely seeks in love, with the episode offering bold opinions, relatable fun, and insights that might just spark discussions online.

Actor and comedian Sunil Grover switched gears to deliver a sharp dose of superstar satire, with viewers joking that even AI would struggle to keep up with his precision.

Ananya Panday also shared Chunky Panday’s clever strategy, revealing that he believes appearing together means earning less. Therefore, the smarter move is for each family member to feature individually across different seasons of “The Great Indian Kapil Show” to keep the money rolling in, a logic that had everyone in stitches.

“The Great Indian Kapil Show” is available for streaming on Netflix.

As part of her YouTube journey, director and choreographer Farah Khan, along with her cook Dilip, visited actor and YouTuber Purav Jha at his Mumbai residence.

During their conversation, Farah expressed her desire for Purav to win the reality show “The Traitors,” instead of Uorfi Javed. “I felt really bad because I genuinely wanted you to win Traitors,” the director of ‘Om Shanti Om’ remarked.

Purav responded by saying, “Every day I try to forget this pain, but someone keeps reminding me.” Farah then noted that many people have been saying that Purav should have been the winner of the show, emphasizing that public opinion is what matters.

“Sorry Uorfi, but he was the actual winner,” Farah stated confidently. She further praised Purav for his strategic gameplay in eliminating co-contestant Elnaaz Norouzi. Purav clarified that Elnaaz was actually trying to set him up during the show.

“When I came out and watched the entire show, I was like ‘Oh Man’. I was feeling bad for taking her name, but then I saw the truth,” he said.

In her distinctive style, Farah added, “I didn’t realize she is such a good actress. She should have acted this well in the films.”

Meanwhile, the show’s winner, Uorfi, shared her experience on “The Traitors,” describing it as a smarter and more strategic format compared to ‘Bigg Boss.’

“I didn’t really see myself in Bigg Boss, since I left within a week. Bigg Boss is very different. The Traitors is a completely different game. In The Traitors, you have to use your brain. Fights do happen—naturally—when there are four different people with different personalities. But I controlled myself. The goal on that show is to win, not to fight. The Traitors is pure class on Prime,” Uorfi explained.

She added, “The Traitors was about manipulation, but I did it positively—appeared harmless, avoided confrontations, and maintained an innocent façade. That was my survival technique.”

Filmmaker Shekhar Kapur is currently developing a major romance series for a prominent international OTT platform. Sources close to the director have revealed that this project is based on the bestselling U.S. novel ‘My Name Is Memory’ and will be developed, produced, and directed by Kapur himself.

A Continued International Focus

This project is not being marketed as a return to Indian storytelling, but rather as part of Shekhar Kapur’s ongoing international slate. Kapur is renowned for shaping the global perception of Indian cinema with landmark works such as ‘Bandit Queen’ and ‘Masoom’. He later redefined historical drama with his Oscar-nominated film ‘Elizabeth’, which garnered recognition across eight Academy Award categories.

His recent international film ‘What’s Love Got to Do with It?’ further solidified his reputation, earning accolades including Best Film, Best Director, and Best Original Screenplay at the UK National Film Awards. The film featured stars such as Emma Thompson, Lily James, and Shabana Azmi.

Milestone Recognition

This development marks a significant milestone in Shekhar Kapur’s illustrious career. In 2025, he was honoured with the Padma Bhushan for his enduring contributions to cinema and storytelling across borders.

Philosophical Musings

Earlier, Kapur, known for his existential and philosophical insights, shared a thought-provoking post ahead of the New Year celebrations. He took to his Instagram and posted a picture of a black hole, accompanied by a long note where he pondered whether black holes might also exist within the human body, given that human bodies are part of the universe.

He wrote: “The Riddle of the Black Hole. ‘The Universe constantly replicates itself, right? I asked the Astrophysicist. ‘Yes,’ said the Astrophysicist. ‘Right from that which is potentially Infinite to potentially the most Finite that we can imagine?’ ‘Yes.’ ‘And then every cell in our body is a replica of the Universe?’ ‘Possibly yes.’ ‘And also within each cell the vibrations that potentially create the illusion of Physical Matter are recreated?’ ‘Hmm,’ muttered the Astrophysicist. We have not yet scientifically proven that Matter does not exist except as Vibration, but there is a science that is seriously experimenting with that. ‘I did not give up. If so, then my body, however you imagine that, is full of black holes too, right?’ ‘Ha ha. Where are you going with this, Shekhar?’ smiled the Astrophysicist.”

As we enter a new year, actress Vaani Kapoor is reviving her fitness regime with an intense workout session.

The ‘Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui’ star shared a video of her latest gym session on her official Instagram handle. Dressed in an orange crop top and black trousers with her hair tied in a ponytail, Vaani looked focused and committed.

During her workout, she showcased her dedication by using various types of weights to strengthen different muscle groups, targeting her legs, arms, and core. The ‘Mandala Murders’ actress also incorporated some floor exercises into her routine.

In her inspiring social media post, Vaani captioned the video simply: “back on pace,” accompanied by a tick mark emoji.

On the work front, Vaani was recently featured in singer-rapper Yo Yo Honey Singh and AP Dhillon’s latest track “Aadat.” She expressed her excitement about collaborating with them, stating she was instantly drawn to the vibe and energy of the song.

“I have always enjoyed the music of Yo Yo Honey Singh and AP Dhillon, and seeing the two of them collaborate felt exciting in itself,” she shared.

Reflecting on her first music video experience, Vaani added, “With Bhushan Kumar sir backing the song, the vision felt clear and creatively strong. This is my first time featuring in a music video with two brilliant artists, and the fun, stylish nature of the track made it an easy yes for me.”

“I really enjoyed shooting the song and wish Yo Yo Honey Singh and AP Dhillon all the best. I hope audiences enjoy Aadat; it’s catchy, groovy, and very today,” Vaani concluded.
