Actor Kunal Kemmu is radiating good energy as he grooves to “Ramba Ho,” a track from the upcoming film ‘Dhurandhar,’ featuring Akshaye Khanna and Ranveer Singh. He urges everyone to make 2026 a “vibe.”

Whether he’s at the gym, relaxing at home, or soaking in the New Year spirit, Kunal seems to have discovered the perfect mood. Sharing a glimpse of his well-defined physique on Instagram, he emphasizes the importance of vibing.

He expressed: “Vibing with the track. Vibing with the new year. Vibing at workouts. Let’s make this year a Vibe.”

Upcoming Projects

In other news, Kunal is preparing for the second season of his family comedy drama series “Single Papa.” The show also features Prajakta Koli, Manoj Pahwa, Ayesha Raza, Neha Dhupia, Suhail Nayyar, Dayanand Shetty, Aisha Ahmed, Dhruv Rathee, and Isha Talwar.

The series revolves around Gaurav Gehlot, a lovable man-child whose emotional maturity is best described as a “work in progress.” His unexpected decision to adopt a baby right after his divorce shocks his family, prompting them to briefly consider rebooting him. This leads to unprecedented chaos as the Gehlots try to understand how a man who still misplaces his socks plans to raise a whole human.

Directorial Debut and Recent Work

Kunal made his directorial debut in 2024 with Madgaon Express, which boasts an ensemble cast including Divyenndu, Pratik Gandhi, Avinash Tiwary, Nora Fatehi, Upendra Limaye, and Chhaya Kadam.

As an actor, his latest appearance was in Kanjoos Makhichoos, directed by Vipul Mehta. This film is based on the well-known Gujarati play Sajan Re Jhooth Mat Bolo and features Shweta Tripathi, Piyush Mishra, Alka Amin, Rajeev Gupta, and Raju Srivastava.

Academy Award-winning actress Helen Mirren has enjoyed a hugely successful career, starring in iconic films such as The Queen, Hitchcock, Eye in the Sky, and Red. She expresses that she still experiences a significant thrill when appearing on-screen.

Exciting Career Journey

Mirren described her career as a “roller coaster adventure” that she finds most exciting. She has always embraced her identity as a “rogue and a vagabond” and takes great pride in her achievements on both stage and screen.

Speaking to variety.com, she stated, “I identify more with that side of my profession than anything grand or, for lack of a better word, posh. I started in the theatre in a communal sense, where you are all in it together. It wasn’t a star system or anything like that. That was my first love of performing, of telling stories….”

Life on the Move

Mirren shares insights about her lifestyle, mentioning, “My whole life has been spent now, not so much camping out by the side of the street, but certainly in hotels. My whole life has been packing and unpacking.”

Despite her numerous successes, Mirren has faced her share of self-doubts. She acknowledges that actors are often more insecure than the public realizes.

She explained, “The thing that drives me is my insecurity, actually, really more than anything, but at the same time, I guess self-knowledge is a help in that sense.” Her curiosity about the world fuels her desire to overcome insecurities, stating, “I’ve always felt the only way to overcome lack of self-confidence is to stop thinking about yourself and think about other people or the world around you, or, you know, other things that go outward rather than go inward.”

Navigating Insecurities

Mirren emphasizes that the way to deal with insecurity is to look outward. She reflected on the contradiction of being insecure yet putting oneself in front of audiences. She noted, “There is a reason for which often people become actors, and it is related to finding it hard to negotiate in the real world.”

Last year, she revealed that starting a new job always feels “nerve-racking” for her.

The Intense Preview

However, the calm atmosphere quickly shatters with a sudden explosion and gunfire, leading to chaos. As smoke fills the air and bodies lie scattered, Raya emerges, armed with a Tommy gun and casually smoking a cigar.

“RAYA Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups in cinemas worldwide on 19-03-2026,” Yash captioned the post.

Excitement Surrounding the Film

Earlier, the creators stirred interest by unveiling the first look of the leading ladies: Kiara Advani, Nayanthara, Huma Qureshi, Rukmini Vasanth, and Tara Sutaria.

Written by Yash and Geetu Mohandas and directed by Geetu Mohandas, “Toxic” is expected to depict an engaging tale of crime and deception set in 1980s Goa. The story revolves around a powerful drug cartel that manipulates lives against the backdrop of the state’s beautiful beaches and vibrant culture.

Hollywood star Jennifer Garner has opened up about her separation from ex-husband Ben Affleck, sharing that the most challenging aspect was the dissolution of their family and partnership.

In an interview with Marie Claire UK, Garner, 53, discussed her life now and the upcoming second season of her drama, The Last Thing He Told Me. Reflecting on her breakup with Affleck in 2015, she stated, “You have to be smart about what you can and can’t handle, and I could not handle what was out there. But what was out there… was not what was hard. The fact of it is what was hard. The actual breaking up of a family is what was hard. Losing a true partnership and friendship is what was hard.”

Following her highly publicized split from Affleck, with whom she shares three children—Violet Anne, Seraphina Rose, and Samuel—Garner emphasized the importance of community. She made “a big, concerted effort to see my people as much as I can, because that’s what matters.”

Garner noted, “That’s where your resilience is: it’s in your relationships and in the people who carry you through.”

The former couple ended their marriage in 2015 after a decade together, officially finalizing their divorce three years later.

Garner also mentioned her current priorities, which include advocacy work with Save the Children US and Once Upon a Farm, alongside her kids. “They’re just so cool!” she remarked about Violet Anne, 20, Seraphina Rose, 17, and Samuel, 13.

Speaking about parenting, she said, “It’s more about parenting with a button on my mouth…. You have to let them grow up and make their choices. You don’t get to control it.”

Garner, who is currently dating businessman John Miller, admitted that co-parenting with Affleck while their lives remain in the public eye has been “the hardest thing. Not hard in the grand scheme of what is hard in the world, but tricky for me and tricky for my family.”

As rockstar Yash celebrated his 40th birthday, the makers of his upcoming film Toxic: A Fairytale for Grown-Ups marked the occasion by unveiling an intense glimpse of his character, Raya—raw, bold, and unapologetically fierce.

Yash took to Instagram and X to share a gripping clip that introduces Raya. The video opens against the eerie silence of a cemetery, showcasing a burial in progress. It quickly shifts to Yash’s character seated in a car with a woman during an intimate moment. Behind them, a bomb is ominously placed, but they remain completely unfazed.

However, the calm is shattered as a sudden blast ensues, accompanied by gunfire that plunges the scene into chaos. Smoke fills the air, and bodies lie scattered as Raya steps forward, wielding a Tommy gun and puffing on a cigar.

Yash’s caption was succinct: “RAYA Toxic: A Fairytale for Grown-Ups in cinemas worldwide on 19-03-2026.”

Earlier, the makers had unveiled the leading ladies of the film, including Kiara Advani, Nayanthara, Huma Qureshi, Rukmini Vasanth, and Tara Sutaria.

Aside from being each other’s biggest support, global couple Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas also enjoy playfully teasing one another. Their fun moments together often bring delight to netizens.

Recently, Nick shared a charming video on social media where he teasingly captured a candid moment of Priyanka scrolling through her phone. At first glance, it appears that Nick is admiring his wife. His text overlay on the clip, “Yup. I get it bro (love-eyed emoji)”, gives that impression.

However, he soon surprises everyone, including Priyanka. As the camera slowly pans toward a toy rhinoceros placed behind Priyanka, it becomes clear that he was humorously referring to the inflated toy animal instead of her.

“She’s pretty and stuff,” Nick simply captioned the post.

Reacting to the amusing clip, Priyanka re-shared it on her Instagram Stories with the comment, “He’s at it again.. @nickjonas.”

Their social media feeds are filled with such entertaining posts, always making each other the subject of good-natured humor.

Actress Jasmin Bhasin, currently in a relationship with actor Aly Goni, has embraced the New Year with an inspiring message about choosing freedom, happiness, and a deeper connection with her true self.

Reflecting on her journey, she took to Instagram to express gratitude for the answered prayers and cherished moments shared along the way. Jasmin emphasized the importance of protecting her peace, even if it requires letting go of certain things.

As she steps into 2026, she is committed to nurturing what brings her joy and releasing what no longer serves her spirit.

In her heartfelt caption, she wrote, “For every hand held, for every prayer answered, I am grateful. I’ve learned that protecting my peace means sometimes letting go. Here’s to a New Year where I live more freely, love myself harder, and keep only what lifts my spirit.”

She continued, “And from now this year onwards I choose to reclaim my freedom, happiness, and soulful self. I’ll nurture what brings me joy and gently sever what drains my spirit. May the new year bring peace, clarity, and unshakeable happiness.”

Jasmin began her acting career in 2011 with the Tamil film Vaanam. She gained popularity for her roles as Twinkle Taneja in Tashan-e-Ishq and Teni Bhanushali in Dil Se Dil Tak. Additionally, she has participated in reality shows such as Khatron Ke Khiladi 9, Fear Factor: Khatron Ke Khiladi – Made in India, and Bigg Boss 14.

Jasmin met Aly during their time on Fear Factor: Khatron Ke Khiladi 9 in 2018, and they began dating after their appearance on Bigg Boss 14 in 2021.

Her other significant works include Dil Toh Happy Hai Ji and Naagin 4: Bhagya Ka Zehreela Khel. The talented actress made her Punjabi film debut with Honeymoon in 2022.

Currently, she is working on Carry On Jattiye, featuring Jaswinder Bhalla and Gippy Grewal.

Hollywood actress Jodie Foster, who first rose to fame as a child star, emphasizes that she has never sought the spotlight.

“I had to do it my way. You like me as someone who has my dignity. You can’t strip it away from me and then have me remain the me that I am,” Foster stated in an interview.

The 63-year-old actress faced criticism for not being more transparent about her sexuality over the years. However, she stands by her approach to stardom.

“Thank God there were the wonderful pioneers that were out there changing the world. That’s true of the Civil Rights Movement, and yet you have Denzel Washington, who just made movies. Are we mad at him? Does everyone have to?” she remarked.

Despite this, Foster commended Kristen Stewart, her former co-star, for boldly addressing social issues. “She is brave. She had parents that were brave. And she was given the keys to bravery. I didn’t know that I would ever have them. I thought my role was to make other people happy and to eat s***. I was the right person to put in rubber boots at 20 degrees below zero because I was never going to complain,” Foster shared.

Foster publicly discussed her sexuality for the first time in 2013 during her acceptance speech for the Cecil B. DeMille Lifetime Achievement Award at the Golden Globes.

In her heartfelt speech, she said, “I already did my coming out about a thousand years ago, back in the stone age. In those very quaint days when a fragile young

This joyful post followed the announcement by Vicky and Katrina Kaif, who revealed the name of their little one two months after welcoming their firstborn. They shared an adorable photo on Instagram featuring Vihaan’s hand resting on theirs.

When announcing the name, the couple wrote, “Our Ray of Light…Vihaan Kaushal…Prayers are answered…Life is beautiful…Our world is changed in an instant…Gratitude beyond words.”

Sunny Kaushal, Vicky’s brother, highlighted the meaning of the name Vihaan in his own social media post, noting, “Vihaan…The first ray of light.”

Vicky and Katrina welcomed their son on November 7, 2025. Sham Kaushal took to social media to pen a gratitude note for this latest joy in the Kaushal family. His Instagram post read, “Shukriya Rab da…(folded hands emojis) Kal se Bhagwan ka mere parivar pe itne meherban rehne ke liye, jitna bhi shukar kar raha hun, unki blessings ke samne kam pad raha hai. God is & has been so kind. Bhagwan ki meherbani aise hi mere bachon pe aur sabse junior Kaushal pe bani rahe. Hum sab bahut khush hain aur bahut blessed feel kar rahe hain. (Thank you, God…(folded hands emojis) for being so kind to my family, no matter how much I thank him, it feels insufficient in front of all his blessings. God is and has been so kind. May God’s grace continue to remain on my children and the youngest Kaushal. We are all very happy and feel very blessed.)”

Actress Shweta Tripathi has successfully wrapped up the shoot for her upcoming social drama ‘Palkon Pe’ in Bhopal. The film tackles uncomfortable questions surrounding divorce, gender equality, sexuality, and mental health.

Reflecting on the Experience

Speaking about the completion of the shoot, Shweta remarked, “Shooting across Bhopal over a continuous, gruelling schedule really pushed all of us, but it also created a sense of camaraderie and honesty that reflects in the work we’ve done.”

She further noted, “What drew me to Palkon Pe was the courage of its storytelling. It doesn’t shy away from uncomfortable questions around divorce, gender equality, sexuality, and mental health that are often spoken about in hushed tones or oversimplified.”

Behind the Scenes

Directed by acclaimed ad filmmaker Niddhish Puuzhakkal, ‘Palkon Pe’ started filming in December last year. The team shot across multiple locations in and around Bhopal, following a demanding schedule that tested the creativity and endurance of the cast and crew.

“Niddhish has such a unique way of looking at human behaviour; he brings a psychologist’s sensitivity to every frame, every silence, every emotion. As an actor, that kind of direction allows you to dig deeper, to sit with discomfort, and to be truthful,” Shweta explained.

Cast and Themes

The film stars Shweta alongside Abhishek Chauhan and Eshan Naqvi, presenting a compelling narrative that explores layered themes such as gender equality and mental health through an intimate and human lens. Shweta plays the character Shraddha Agarwal, adding depth to the storytelling.

Shweta found her collaboration with co-actors Abhishek and Eshan equally rewarding. “Everyone brought such sincerity to the table, and that made even the toughest days feel purposeful. Palkon Pe is a story that stayed with me after the camera cut, and I genuinely hope it resonates with audiences when it releases.”

Production Details

Produced by Rahul Gandhi’s Tamboo Entertainment and Saleem Javed’s Zaria Entertainment, ‘Palkon Pe’ is set to be a thought-provoking social commentary that aims to spark meaningful conversations while remaining emotionally authentic. The film is slated for release in 2026.
