Actress Alia Bhatt’s first social media post of 2026 beautifully captures her fairytale life with husband Ranbir Kapoor and their daughter, Raha.

Alia’s latest Instagram picture showcases her dressed as a fairy godmother in a charming white dress, complete with a wand in hand, while Ranbir playfully holds little Raha in the air. Her heartfelt wish for their daughter read, “& up you go love.. happy 2026 (sic).”

In this delightful snapshot from their New Year getaway, all three family members are twinning in white, radiating happiness.

Netizens reacted warmly to the post, leaving loving comments such as “What a happy family,” “Heart is so full, such a beautiful frame,” and “Pics like these make me forget every other complaint I keep having.”

The couple welcomed the New Year with their little one on a vacation to an undisclosed location. Just last week, the trio was spotted at Mumbai airport, posing for photos before departing for their holiday. Alia and Ranbir chose comfortable athleisure for their off-duty look.

It’s well-known that the lovebirds take a holiday each year during this festive time.

On the professional front, Alia and Ranbir are set to share screen space in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s highly anticipated love saga “Love & War,” which also stars Vicky Kaushal. The film is expected to revolve around a dramatic wartime love triangle, highlighting the conflict between duty and desire.

Reports suggest that the project is inspired by the classic Bollywood film “Sangam,” which featured Ranbir’s grandfather, Raj Kapoor, alongside Vyjayanthimala and Rajendra Kumar.

Additionally, Alia will appear in an action-packed role in the latest installment of the YRF spy universe, titled “Alpha,” where she will star alongside Sharvari. This film is noted for being the spy universe’s first female-led action film.

Well-known director M Rajesh’s upcoming comedy entertainer, featuring actor Jiiva in the lead role, has been titled “Jolliya Irrundha Oruthan,” as announced by the makers.

Celebrities from the Tamil film industry, including Santhanam, Arya, Vishal, and producer Kalaipuli S Thanu, unveiled the film’s title during actor Jiiva’s birthday celebrations.

A humorous title announcement video was also released on this occasion. In the promo, director M Rajesh, who is celebrated for hits like “Siva Manasulla Sakthi,” “Boss Engira Baskaran,” and “Oru Kal Oru Kannadi,” along with Jiiva, is seen dressed as sheikhs while waiting for music director Yuvan Shankar Raja at a hotel in Dubai.

Upon Yuvan Shankar Raja’s arrival, the duo greets him. Yuvan, surprised by their attire, inquires about their outfits. Director Rajesh explains, “The producer told us that you were in Dubai and asked us to come in the same vibe and get songs from you for our film.”

Yuvan humorously responds, “If you are dressed like this, there won’t be songs, only laughter.” He suggests they change their clothes, but the duo reveals they don’t have any other attire.

Despite this, Yuvan decides to continue the discussion about the film and asks, “Many are wondering if this is the second part of ‘Siva Manasulla Sakthi’?” Rajesh clarifies, “This is not SMS 2. But it will have the same vibe. You can even say it is from the same universe.”

Yuvan then requests Rajesh to narrate the film’s story, to which Rajesh describes it as a love story filled with puns. He explains that it tells how a happy-go-lucky guy is worn down by a relationship, similar to how a washing machine cleans and dries a piece of cloth.

When Yuvan asks for the title, they reveal, “Jolliya Irrundha Oruthan.” As Yuvan attempts to create an acronym from the title, the hero and director plead with him, fearing it could lead to copyright issues.

Curious about the timeline, Yuvan questions how long it took to compose the songs for “Siva Manasulla Sakthi.” Rajesh mentions it took three days, to which Yuvan confidently replies, “We will compose all the songs of this film in two days.”

Excited, Rajesh asks when Yuvan will start working on the music. Yuvan responds, “I will call and let you know when those two days will come.” While the phone does ring, it isn’t Yuvan calling; it’s the rental service for the Sheikh costumes.

Rajesh remarks, “Let us go now, otherwise the producer might add this cost to the budget of the film,” as they rush to leave.

The film marks Jiiva’s 47th project, produced by Malik Streams. Sources indicate that “Jolliya Irrundha Oruthan” will be a refreshing entertainer blending love, heartbreak, and humor.

Cinematography will be handled by M Sukumar, with music by Yuvan Shankar Raja. Editing will be by Ashish Joseph, and art direction will be led by Hasini Pavithra.

Reports of trouble in the marriage of popular television couple Mahhi Vij and Jay Bhanushali have been circulating for some time. Now, the two have officially announced their separation through a social media post.

Both Mahhi and Jay shared a note on their respective Instagram Stories, announcing their decision to part ways after nearly 15 years of marriage.

The post read, “Today, we choose to part ways on a journey called life, yet we continue to have each other’s back. Peace, growth, kindness and humanity have always been our guiding values.”

They emphasized their commitment to being good parents to their three children while leading their individual lives.

“For the sake of our children—Tara, Khushi, Ranjveer—we commit to being the best parents, the best friends, and whatever else it takes to do what is right for them,” they added.

Mahhi and Jay clarified that their separation does not stem from a negative place. “Though we walk separate paths, there is no villain in this story and no negativity attached to this decision. Before any conclusions are drawn, please know that we chose peace over drama and sanity above all else,” they wrote.

They expressed a desire to remain friends and continue supporting one another. “We continue to respect one another, support one another, and remain friends, as we always have been. With mutual respect, we ask for your respect, love and kindness as we move forward,” the post concluded.

After dating for some time, Mahhi and Jay tied the knot in 2011. The couple fostered two children, Rajveer and Khushi, in 2017 and welcomed their biological daughter Tara in 2019.

Actress Manisha Koirala recently had the auspicious darshan of the Kumari in Nepal. In a heartfelt expression of gratitude, the ‘Heeramandi’ star prayed for peace, wisdom, and harmony.

On social media, Manisha shared a video of her visit to the Kumari, surrounded by a large crowd of devotees. She wrote, “With folded hands and a quiet heart, I received Kumari’s darshan; in that sacred stillness, I offered my faith, my gratitude, and my surrender. May her grace dwell within us and bless our nation with peace, wisdom, and harmony (sic).”

For those unfamiliar with the tradition, the Kumari is a prepubescent girl worshipped as the Living Goddess in Nepal. This practice stems from the belief that the Kumari embodies the goddess Taleju, a manifestation of the goddess Durga, and dates back to the Malla dynasty, which spanned the 12th to 18th centuries.

Manisha keeps her fans updated on various aspects of her life through Instagram. Recently, she visited Kerala, enjoying the mesmerizing natural beauty of the region. She shared a picturesque photo from her relaxing getaway, showcasing her amidst a lush green garden under a coconut tree. Wearing a beautiful white and blue ethnic outfit, she smiled radiantly at the camera.

The actress expressed her love for Kerala’s tranquil lifestyle, captioning her post, “Love being in Kerala — amongst coconut trees, soft skies, and a slower rhythm of life (sic).”

Prior to this, she offered a glimpse into her serene Sunday. Manisha posted a photo of her father, Prakash Koirala, along with the caption, “Dad’s gentle vibe. Mom & me excited to go to the farmers’ market. meeting up with #friendslikefamily Furry family cuddles. Sundays don’t get better than this … #sundaymood (sic).”

Ever since the makers of “Border 2” released the track “Ghar Kab Aaoge,” it has been garnering immense love from music fans everywhere.

A Song That Resonates with Soldiers

Not just the general public, but our Indian soldiers have also expressed their admiration for this patriotic number. Recently, the film’s leads, Varun Dhawan and Ahan Shetty, along with singer Sonu Nigam—who has lent his voice to the track—were seen enjoying a jam session with the soldiers. In a social media clip captioned “ghar,” one soldier played the harmonium while another accompanied him on the dholak.

Sonu Nigam’s Heartfelt Dedication

Earlier, Sonu Nigam shared that being part of this patriotic song felt like a homecoming for him. He posted the track on his official Instagram handle, dedicating “Ghar Kab Aaoge” to the brave soldiers and their families.

His heartfelt note read, “Some songs aren’t just melodies; they are emotions that belong to the soul of our nation. 🇮🇳 Being a part of this song for Border 2 felt like a beautiful homecoming. It is rare for an artist to relive such magic, and I feel truly blessed that this journey continues. This one is for our brave soldiers and the families waiting for them.”

A Nod to the Original Classic

The original track “Sandese Aate Hai” from the 1999 film “Border” was performed by Sonu Nigam and Roopkumar Rathod. Picturized on stars like Sunny Deol, Suniel Shetty, Akshaye Khanna, and Jackie Shroff, the song features lyrics by Javed Akhtar.

The iconic composition by Anu Malik has now been reimagined by Mithoon, with new lyrics penned by Manoj Muntashir Shukla.

Upcoming Release

Directed by Anurag Singh and backed by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, J.P. Dutta, and Nidhi Dutta, “Border 2” is set to hit cinema halls on January 23.

Responding to a fan’s inquiry about the delay in issuing a U/A certificate for Vijay’s latest film, ‘Jana Nayagan’, actress Gautami Tadimalla clarified that she is not part of the Censor Board. She advised the fan to direct any queries to the relevant ministry.

After the makers of director H Vinoth’s ‘Jana Nayagan’ released the film’s trailer on Saturday, social media buzzed with rumors. It was reported that Censor Board officials had viewed the film days earlier and recommended a U/A certificate, yet the makers had not received the official censor certificate.

A fan tweeted Gautami, suggesting she was still a member of the Censor Board and asked, “You are very much in the Censor Board Committee and kindly explain why there is so much delay in issuing the UA certificate for Jana Nayagan?” The fan also referenced an AI app Grok, which stated she was a member of the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC).

In response, Gautami tweeted, “I also am wondering why I am being referred to in this context. I am not a part of the CBFC and have not been asked to head any viewing committees for certifying any film since October 2023. I have not received any requests for participation in any context for any film. If you have any queries, you should address them to the concerned Ministry. And thank you for letting me know that my name is still being used in this manner. I wish ‘Jana Nayagan’ all the best for a successful release.”

For those unaware, ‘Jana Nayagan’, featuring Vijay in the lead role, is an upcoming action entertainer by director H Vinoth, creating significant anticipation as it marks the leading actor’s last film. Expectations soared following the release of the trailer.

The trailer opens with a notorious thug asking another about someone named Thalapathy Vetri Kondan. Alarmed, the second thug cautions, “Hope you haven’t tried your tricks with him because you would have heard of many killers but have you heard of someone setting a record in it? That is ‘Thalapathy’ for you. Do not touch him. He will slice you up.”

Action sequences unfold as the film progresses. A young child asks Vijay, “You bashed an entire battalion. Are you Superman?” He replies, “I am just an ordinary man, baby, but I have heard people say that whatever I do is super.”

The trailer introduces Mamitha Baiju as Vijay’s daughter Viji. “Girls should not be scared. She must be like a tigress,” he tells her while trying to persuade her to sign up for the army. Visuals of Viji experiencing fear and pain follow, with Thalapathy on the hunt for the person who harassed her.

Bobby Deol appears as the antagonist, boasting that he plans to make India submit to him in just 30 days. His scheme, dubbed OM, is aimed at annihilation.

Throughout the trailer, Vijay makes strong political statements, declaring, “Be it anybody who tells me, ‘I will close your chapter’, ‘I will cause disgrace to befall you’, I have no intention of turning back.” It concludes with a powerful scene of him chastising politicdigihunt: “Instead of entering politics to serve the people selflessly, you barge into politics to loot and kill innocent lives.”

With growing interest, ‘Jana Nayagan’ is set to release worldwide on January 9.

Actor and singer Diljit Dosanjh kicked off 2026 with a fun solo trip. In his primary Instagram post for the New Year, he shared an amusing moment—he was forced to walk in the rain without an umbrella because he couldn’t find a taxi.

Fortunately for Diljit, he later managed to find an umbrella, along with a mask to shield himself from the cold. While wandering around, the ‘Jatt & Juliet’ actor stumbled upon a charming Indian shop. There, he discovered a photograph of Mata Lakshmi and several other exquisite examples of Indian artistry.

Diljit also mentioned that he found some relief from his cold, thanks to the desi remedies he has been trying. However, he expressed concern that, considering the weather, he might soon be dealing with a runny nose again.

On Saturday, he took to Instagram stories to share his go-to home remedies for a cold. The ‘Sardaar Ji’ actor posted a recipe for besan chilla among other remedies made with besan.

In a clip, Diljit said, “I have a cold… what do you call it, I have a runny nose. So, besan cheela and remedies with besan I will be using.” The video featured him preparing the dish, along with a text overlay that read “solo trip.”

Diljit admitted that his besan cheela turned out a bit thick but still tasted fantastic. He remarked, “Pehle cheela thoda mota bana hai, par swaad bahut hai. Look beautiful.” He even shared that he ended up eating a chilla while standing, without plating it.

“I have a cold… What do you call it, I have a runny nose. So, besan cheela and remedies with besan will be used. Ek toh main khade khade kha gaya…” Diljit revealed.

Ace director and cameraman Vijay Milton has praised H Vinoth, the director of Vijay’s latest film ‘Jana Nayagan’, for expertly managing the immense pressure that comes with directing such a high-profile project.

Challenges Faced by Vinoth

In a heartfelt message on his Instagram page, Vijay Milton outlined the various pressures Vinoth encountered while steering the film. He remarked, “His (Vijay’s) speeches (dialogues) must be appropriate for his political entry but at the same time, they shouldn’t be distant and cut out from the plot of the film.”

Milton continued, “As this is his last film, it must be the biggest of all his films. However, at the same time, it must be clearly distinct that it must be your film as well.”

He emphasized that Vinoth had to consider not just the fans but also Vijay’s party cadre, stating, “A proper reply had to be given to haters.” He ended his note with admiration, saying, “Despite so many pressures, how easily you have handled it! Outstanding Vinoth!”

They work your whole body and your future self will thank you. I’m entering 2026 with strong legs and zero regrets.”

End-of-Year Retreat in Udaipur

Soha concluded 2025 with a three-day getaway to Udaipur, accompanied by her husband, Kunal Khemu, and their daughter, Inaaya. The family enjoyed a safari where they were fortunate enough to spot a leopard.

Reflecting on their experience in the wild, Soha expressed that forests should not merely be places to visit but should also be cherished and safeguarded for future generations. She shared a clip on social media featuring her family exploring the stunning landscapes and rich culture of Udaipur.

In her heartfelt caption, she wrote, “Three days in the forests of Chunda Shikar Oudi (a mere 20-minute drive from Udaipur airport) — where time slowed, meals were delicious, mornings were for birdsong, and the jungle gently revealed itself. We were lucky enough to spot a leopard, but luck aside, what stayed with us was the warmth of the people, the care we were wrapped in, and the reminder that the forest isn’t something to visit — it’s something to protect.”
