Actress Sonam Khan recently took a nostalgic trip down memory lane, reminiscing about her childhood ‘secret crush’ on the legendary actor Mithun Chakraborty.

A Sweet Memory Shared

In a heartfelt post on Instagram, Sonam shared a throwback image featuring herself alongside Mithun. Reflecting on her early admiration for the iconic star, she opened up about her experience working with him. She stated that he was the only co-actor who made her nervous since she had long admired his work. Adding a touch of nostalgia, she revealed that Mithun was unaware of her secret crush on him, which only intensified her nerves.

Praise for Mithun Chakraborty

Sonam went on to praise Mithun’s kindness and grace, describing them as unmatched. She wrote, “Once a superstar, always a superstar with a heart of gold. @mithunchakrabortyofficial I signed a movie with Sir before my first film was even released, which was a huge deal for me as a complete newcomer. Thanks to his kindness, no audition was required.”

She added, “He was the only co-actor I was nervous to work with because I was completely in awe of him, having grown up watching his movies. (Sir didn’t ever know that secretly I had a crush on him, which made me more nervous.) Sir’s kindness and grace were, and always will be, a class apart. Years later, I met him at the Coimbatore airport when we were both heading to Ooty. Sir invited me for a seven-course lunch at his beautiful hotel, The Monarch. He was the same gracious gentleman I had met at the start of my career. Truly a superstar with a heart of gold. #mithunchakraborty #sonamkhan #aakhrighulammovie #throwbackmemories.”

Bollywood and television veteran actor Shekhar Suman recently shared his heartfelt feelings for his wife on social media, expressing gratitude for having found a life partner like her.

In a touching post accompanied by an old photograph of his wife, Alka, Shekhar wrote, “My love story with Alka continues; it’s an ethereal, eternal love story. I realised it when I met her for the first time, that she was the most extraordinary woman I’d ever met, different from the rest of the world. She is angelic, vulnerable, shy, demure, soft-spoken, dignified, talented, and of course unimaginably pretty. One word for the lady: breathtaking. Jaane bahar tum kisi shayar ka khwab ho, muah! I love you till death do us part.”

The actor describes their relationship as eternal and genuine, calling Alka both angelic and dignified. Their love story began in their college days in Delhi, evolving from friendship into romance. They married in 1983 in a private ceremony attended by close family and friends.

For those unfamiliar, Shekhar Suman and Alka have two children, Ayush and Adhyayan Suman. Tragically, they lost their elder son Ayush in an accident, a heartbreaking loss that Suman believes can never be truly filled.

Their younger son, Adhyayan Suman, is also pursuing a career in Bollywood, following in his father’s footsteps. On the professional front, Shekhar Suman was recently seen in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Netflix series, Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar, where his portrayal of Nawab Zulfiqar Ahmad received significant acclaim.

Shekhar Suman has a rich filmography, featuring in movies like Utsav, Anubhav, and Tridev. He is also known as one of Indian television’s pioneering talk show hosts, with his show “Dekh Bhai Dekh” and the popular talk show Movers and Shakers making him a household name in the ’90s.

Actress Sonakshi Sinha has humorously addressed the recent pregnancy rumors sparked by her public appearances, showcasing that her wit is her best weapon.

The “Heera Mandi” actress recently attended a high-profile event, where her simple gesture of placing her hand around her midsection led to a flurry of online speculation about her and husband Zaheer Iqbal expecting their first child. To dispel the rumors, Sonakshi took to social media, employing her signature sarcasm.

In a series of pictures featuring her Diwali outfit, Sonakshi playfully stated, “World record holder for the longest pregnancy in human history (16 months and counting, according to her lovely and hyper-intelligent media), simply for posing with her hand around her midsection. Scroll to the last slide for a reaction and then continue to dazzle this Diwali.”

In the images, Sonakshi dazzles in a regal beige and gold embroidered ensemble, complete with heavy jhumkas and a gajra bun complemented by minimal makeup. The last image in the carousel captures Sonakshi sharing a jovial moment with Zaheer Iqbal, clearly amused by the media frenzy. Her cleverly crafted caption quickly went viral, earning her admiration from fans and industry peers who praised her as both savage and classy.

Sonakshi Sinha and Zaheer Iqbal, who have been together for several years, tied the knot on June 23, 2024, in a close-knit ceremony at her Bandra residence in Mumbai. The wedding was attended by family and friends, including numerous Bollywood colleagues, followed by a grand reception later that evening.

The couple, who reportedly met through mutual friends, shared screen space in the 2022 film “Double XL.” Their social media accounts are filled with playful pranks they play on each other, making them one of the most adored duos online.

Comedian and television host Bharti Singh, along with her husband Harsh Limbachiya, is enjoying a picturesque family vacation in Switzerland.

The couple, accompanied by their son Lakshya, affectionately known as Gola, recently shared a heartwarming photo from their trip, where they also announced their second pregnancy. In the image, Bharti radiates happiness in an oversized red top paired with white trousers. Haarsh stands behind her, lovingly cradling her baby bump as they pose against the serene Swiss landscape of lush green meadows, with sunlight filtering through the trees. Bharti tagged the location when sharing the photo on social media.

Their Swiss getaway has been filled with family moments and stunning visuals. Bharti previously shared clips from the Interlaken Valley, showcasing clear skies, winding roads, and majestic mountain peaks. She also posted a tranquil video from another city featuring a river nestled among cliffs and greenery.

In addition to family fun, Haarsh shared his paragliding adventure in Interlaken, calling it a bucket list experience. He also posted glimpses of exploring Swiss towns with Bharti and Gola.

For background, Bharti and Haarsh tied the knot on December 3, 2017, in a grand destination wedding in Goa and have been happily married for nearly seven years. They welcomed their first child, Laksh, on April 3, 2022. Prior to her first pregnancy, Bharti was diagnosed with borderline diabetes, which she successfully reversed through lifestyle changes and fitness before conceiving.

Bharti Singh and Haarsh dated for several years before marriage. At the time of their wedding, Bharti was already an established comedian, while Haarsh was working hard to make his mark in the entertainment industry. Together, they are regarded as one of the top couple hosts in the entertainment world, having built a significant empire for themselves.
