Actress Kareena Kapoor is known for her love of food, and her latest social media post proves this once again.

Bebo shared a stunning photo on the Stories section of her Instagram, posing with pouted lips and stylish black sunglasses. However, it was her caption that really captured attention. True to her foodie nature, she admitted to already thinking about dinner right after finishing lunch. She simply wrote, “Finished lunch dreaming of dinner.”

This isn’t the first instance where Kareena has expressed her passion for food. Recently, filmmaker Karan Johar posted a video on his Instagram showing Kareena savoring a samosa during her son Taimur’s annual day function at school. In the clip, KJo playfully told fans that while many thought Kareena was on a diet, she had been caught indulging in a samosa.

“This is what Kareena Kapoor is doing at the school play, eating a samosa. For all you people who think that she’s on a diet, this is what she’s eating – a big samosa!” he declared. Karan affectionately referred to her as a ‘Carby Doll’, highlighting the carbohydrate content of the samosa.

“I’m proud of you, Bebo. I’m proud of you. You’re a carby doll. I love it,” Karan added with a hint of humor. Caught off guard, Kareena revealed that she isn’t on any diet at the moment.

On the professional front, Bebo has wrapped up filming for her upcoming investigative crime-thriller “Daayra.” Directed by Meghna Gulzar, this much-anticipated project features Prithviraj Sukumaran in a leading role.

Sharing the news on social media, the makers from Junglee Pictures posted a photo of Kareena, Prithviraj, and Meghna smiling together. They captioned the post, “#Daayra! It’s a wrap! Months of hard work, creativity, and collaboration have come together to bring this story to life. Immense gratitude to the cast, crew, and everyone who made this journey possible. Onward to the next chapter! In Cinemas 2026.”

Veteran actress Bhagyashree is spending the final days of 2025 traveling with her husband, Himalaya Dassani. Recently, she embarked on a train journey after quite some time, which added an exciting twist to her itinerary.

A Joyful Train Journey

Bhagyashree shared a delightful video on her official Instagram handle, showcasing herself running to catch the train. Once she boarded, a warm smile lit up her face. The ‘Maine Pyar Kiya’ actress settled into her seat, enjoying the sun-kissed views outside.

She expressed her admiration for the Indian Railways’ extensive connectivity, saying in her post, “Chhukchuk gaadi!! A train journey after a long time. Hatts off to the Indian Railways, connecting so many cities in India. An intense intricate network. (sic).”

While her destination remains unknown, Bhagyashree is ensuring that her journey is filled with joy.

Spiritual Sojourn in Banaras

Earlier, Bhagyashree traveled to Banaras to close the year on a spiritual note. On Friday, she shared photos and videos with Himalaya Dassani from their time in the sacred city, offering a glimpse into their experience.

She captioned her post, “Spiritual journey as the year ends. Banaras was that pause and reconnect, that helps us align ourselves with the Universe. It is the faith in the Lord that guides us to confidently take every step towards our future.”

Reflecting on the spiritual atmosphere of the city, Bhagyashree described attending the Maha Ganga Aarti at Dashwamedha Ghat, where devotees gather to pray and draw strength. She also mentioned the Manikarnika Ghat, where the pyres burn continuously amid a serene acceptance of life’s cycles.

She was particularly taken by R. Kushwaha, who demonstrated remarkable lung power by blowing a conch for five minutes. Bhagyashree concluded by highlighting the delicious street food and traditional shopping experiences in Banaras, expressing her love for the city. “Banaras never ceases to amaze me and I hope it never stops calling me,” she added.

Filmmaker Kiran Rao was recently admitted to a hospital for appendix surgery. However, the name on her wristband for hospital access drew significant attention.

On Sunday, Kiran shared a series of pictures and videos from her hospital stay on Instagram, showcasing her smiling for the camera in her room.

The wristband on her arm read “Kiran Aamir Rao Khan.” In her caption, she reflected on her experience during the treatment.

Kiran wrote, “Here I was, all ready to party my way into 2026, when my appendix sent me a reminder to slow down, breathe deep, and give thanks. Immense gratitude for: modern medicine (still can’t understand how that whole 12mm dia appendix came out through a 10.5mm catheter, thank god I’m not a doctor), Doctor Kayomarz Kapadia and the whole surgical team, Ira, Popeye and Shefali for tlc and hospital sleepover fun, Hospital’s super care. My friends and family who mostly came around to laugh at my plumped lips, an allergic reaction; sadly they’re back to normal and unglam now. Well, I’ve been discharged and I’m back home, ready to ease myself into the new year.”

She continued, “2025 has been good to me and mine, and here’s hoping 2026 will be kind, fun, full of love, AND BETTER AQI, for all. PS: the pics are: views from my hosp room, my Kim K lips, (not quite) my name on the hospital ID tag, and me enjoying one of my first meals. Photo courtesy: Shefali.”

Aamir Khan and Kiran Rao tied the knot on December 28, 2005, in a quiet ceremony at Aamir’s home in Mumbai. They first met on the sets of Lagaan (2001), where Kiran was an assistant director, forging a strong professional and personal relationship. In July 2021, the couple announced their separation, emphasizing their commitment to co-parenting their son, Azad, while maintaining a friendship and professional connection. Aamir is currently in a relationship with Gauri Spratt.

Singer-songwriter Miley Cyrus is confident in her hustling skills. The 33-year-old artist secured writing credits for the song “Dream As One” in the upcoming film “Avatar: Fire and Ash” by directly telling director James Cameron that she was interested.

Cyrus reflected on her encounter with the Avatar filmmaker at the 2024 D23 Expo, where both were recognized as Disney Legends. She shared with People magazine, “I kind of throw it out there as I always do. I already knew the answer to, ‘So what have you been up to?’ I know he’s been up to Avatar for a very long time.”

She conveyed a special message to Cameron, saying, “Just lemme know if you ever need any music.” This moment came at a perfect time during the development of the third of five planned Avatar films. Cyrus mentioned, “It just kind of organically happened. James actually calls us ‘Legends in law.’”

Interestingly, Cyrus used a similar approach for her other songwriting success. She wrote the Golden Globe-nominated “Beautiful That Way” for Gia Coppola’s film The Last Showgirl, which features Pamela Anderson, by using the same method.

“I did the same thing to (Last Showgirl star) Jamie Lee Curtis. That’s how I ended up doing ‘Last Showgirl’ and now being a part of ‘Avatar’,” she explained.

When asked if offering original music to filmmakers is her go-to strategy for getting involved in movies, she responded, “No, literally. That’s why I went to the Oscars this year. Everybody that came up and introduced themselves, I said, ‘Well, if you need any music, I’m around.’”

This approach also extended to the creators of Netflix’s Emmy-winning Baby Reindeer. She mentioned, “I don’t know what I would write for Baby Reindeer season two, but I threw that out there.”

Hollywood actor Simu Liu is diving deep into his super spy fantasy with a thrilling eight-episode series now streaming on Peacock.

Immersive Experience

In “The Copenhagen Test,” Liu embraces the chance to fulfill a long-held dream. He stars as intelligence agent Alexander Hale, whose mind is compromised by a shadowy adversary aiming to destabilize his agency.

Themes and Relevance

Liu shared, “It was definitely the premise and the world-building, dealing with themes of surveillance and technology. A lot of those issues are really topical and relevant today. I appreciated Thomas’ take on this 5 minutes into the future, set in a world of intelligence.”

Cultural Depth

He was also captivated by the cultural nuances in Alexander’s backstory. “He embodies what it’s like for someone from an immigrant family to navigate an environment where they’re constantly second-guessed and underestimated. It resonates a lot with those of us who grew up in similar circumstances.”

Behind the Scenes

As both star and executive producer, Liu expresses his commitment to creating content that feels both universal and culturally specific. “I’m trying to get things made that reflect my own unique brand of different.”

Plot Highlights

With Hale’s mind at risk, his superiors leverage the situation, assigning fellow agent Michelle (Melissa Barrera) to pose as his girlfriend while they track down the source of the hack. Liu humorously noted, “It almost feels like being on Love Island. Michelle and Alexander are in their own reality TV show about finding love, while knowing the cameras are on them.”

There’s a rich layer of complexity to explore, and Liu praises Barrera as a fantastic scene partner.

Hollywood actress Zoe Saldana is currently trying to grasp the slang used by Generation Alpha, and she’s feeling “hyper-focused” as she navigates through it.

Zoe’s Favourite Pop Culture Moment

The 47-year-old star’s top pop culture highlight of 2025 is the term “6-7.” This internet meme and phrase became viral on TikTok and Instagram Reels in October, originating from the song “Doot Doot (6 7)” by rapper Skrilla, 26. Despite its popularity, the phrase lacks a clear meaning.

Speaking about this trend, which is pronounced “six seven” and was even named the word of 2025, Zoe expressed to ‘People’ magazine, “This whole 6-7 thing has been, oh God, an absolute anomaly. I am just so hyper-focused on this Gen Alpha lingo, and I’m gonna get it.”

Association with NBA Player

In addition to the “6-7” meme, which is often linked to NBA player LaMelo Ball, 24, due to his height of 6 feet, 7 inches, Zoe has also adopted the term “aura,” referring to the “cool factor” someone possesses.

As reported by ‘Female First UK’, Zoe joked about her efforts, saying, “But, every time I think that I’m preserving my aura, that’s when I’m told that I lost it.”

On Parenting and Fame

In June, the ‘Avatar: Fire and Ash’ star shared her wish that her three sons—10-year-old twins Cy and Bowie, and nine-year-old Zen—were unaware of her fame. She said, “I wish I had kids that didn’t really know what I do or understand what I do, but my kids have grown up with me on-set. My husband and I really made that decision to not separate our lives. I feel like my work is kind of like their backyard, so they do understand it, and then they don’t. They care about it, and then they don’t. They think in soccer language. So it’s very much like, ‘It’s kind of like the World Cup, Mom. It’s like the World Cup of acting.’ It did give me a little bit of cred, but then they’re rolling their eyes again.”

Since her historic Oscar win in March, Zoe aims to be “more present” in the lives of Cy, Bowie, and Zen. She made history as the first performer of Dominican descent to win the Best Supporting Actress Academy Award for her role as attorney Rita in the musical-comedy film ‘Emilia Perez’.

Hollywood actress Zoe Saldana is on a quest to comprehend the latest Generation Alpha slang. The 47-year-old star is “hyper-focused” as she delves into this youthful lingo.

Favorite Pop Culture Moment of 2025

One of her standout moments is the term “6-7”, which became an internet sensation on TikTok and Instagram Reels in October. This term emerged from the song “Doot Doot (6 7)” by rapper Skrilla, 26. The catchy tune features the repeating lyric “6-7”, yet its meaning remains somewhat elusive, according to reports.

Zoe discussed the trend—which is pronounced “six seven”—in an interview with People magazine. She remarked, “This whole 6-7 thing has been, oh God, an absolute anomaly. I am just so hyper-focused on this Gen Alpha lingo, and I’m gonna get it.”

Association with LaMelo Ball

The “6-7” meme is often linked to NBA player LaMelo Ball, 24, who stands at 6 feet, 7 inches. In addition to this meme, Zoe has started using the term “aura,” which signifies the “cool factor” in someone.

According to reports, Zoe’s sons—10-year-old twins Cy and Bowie, and Zen, nine—fall into Generation Alpha as they were born between 2010 and 2024. With a touch of humor, she noted, “But, every time I think that I’m preserving my aura, that’s when I’m told that I lost it.”

Balancing Fame and Family

Earlier this year, Zoe, who shares her children with her husband, filmmaker Marco Perego-Saldana, expressed a desire for her sons to remain unaware of her celebrity status. “I wish I had kids that didn’t really know what I do or understand what I do, but my kids have grown up with me on-set,” she said. “My husband and I really made that decision to not separate our lives. I feel like my work is kind of like their backyard, so they do understand it, and then they don’t. They care about it, and then they don’t. They think in soccer language. So it’s very much like, ‘It’s kind of like the World Cup, Mom. It’s like the World Cup of acting.’ It did give me a little bit of cred, but then they’re rolling their eyes again.”

A More Present Role as a Mother

Following her historic Oscar win in March, Zoe is eager to be “more present” in her children’s lives. She made history as the first performer of Dominican descent to win the Best Supporting Actress Academy Award for her role as attorney Rita in the musical-comedy film Emilia Perez.

Hollywood actress Lindsay Lohan has opened up about her emotions, stating that she feels “the most emotional when people are nice” to her.

As a 39-year-old Cancer, Lohan describes herself as a naturally “very sensitive,” protective, and home-loving person. During a recent conversation, she shared, “When I get the most sensitive and feel the most emotional, is when people are nice to me.”

Tearing up, she added, “Which is wild. I notice as I get older, when people are kind to me, or I’m doing an interview, and someone says something nice, I’m like, ‘Oh my God, I’m going to cry, thank you.’ I’m a Cancer. I’m very sensitive.”

Speaking at a recent event, the ‘Freaky Friday’ star discussed the importance of balance and self-care. She noted that “being truly seen for who you are” evokes strong emotions in her.

Keeping Grounded

To stay grounded, Lohan emphasizes the need for downtime. “It’s important to always take a moment because everything is moving so fast all the time. You are your own vessel; if you don’t nurture yourself, anything can distract you in a second,” she shared.

Lohan and her husband, Bader Shammas, welcomed their son Luai in 2023. Since then, she has been cherishing “every single moment” of motherhood, expressing that it’s beautiful to share her life with another person.

The Importance of Presence

Lohan believes in the significance of being present in a child’s life. She disagrees with those who think they should hold onto their children’s youth, stating, “It’s going to fly by … because you cherish every moment in your own way, you’re trying your best not to miss a moment with your children, you don’t want to ever think that’s possible.”

She concluded, “But if you’re present in the moments you spend with them, you really don’t miss anything.”

Family continues to be Lohan’s main source of motivation in life.

Actor Stellan Skarsgard shares a brutally honest opinion on parenthood, asserting that it’s nearly impossible to be a “good parent” to a child.

The 74-year-old star, who is a father to Alexander (49), Gustaf (44), Sam (43), Bill (35), Eija (33), and Valter (29) from his first marriage to My Skarsgard, as well as Ossian (16) and Kolbjorn (13) with his second wife, Megan Everett, revealed that one of his children has even likened him to Gustav, the egocentric director and absent father he portrays in his new film, ‘Sentimental Value’.

Stellan clarified that he wasn’t bothered by the role being written with him in mind. Speaking to ‘The Independent’, he stated, “It’s never an insult, because I don’t play myself usually. I don’t think they can know my personality. And I never thought of Gustav as being like me in any way. Our situations are similar, but it’s totally different. Or at least, I thought so until my son saw the film and said to me, ‘You recognise yourself?’ I said, no! But of course, they see things that I don’t see. You can never satisfy a kid. You can never be a good parent to a kid, because truthfully, they have things to complain about because we’re only human, and they’re not perfect either. So you’ve got to live with it.”

Despite his candid remarks, Stellan maintains a good relationship with his children but acknowledges that he wasn’t always a “present” father during their formative years. He admitted, “I realised more that maybe I wasn’t totally present when my kids were growing up. But I have eight kids, it’s f** impossible. I have been very tolerant of my kids, and they have to be tolerant of me, too. I’ve let them go and do whatever they want, and they can let me go and do whatever I want.”

Additionally, the ‘Dune’ actor expressed that he wouldn’t have found happiness as a father standing on the sidelines while watching his children participate in sports.

Singer-songwriter Charlie Puth is eager for his child to develop a strong affinity for music. He recently shared that he sings songs to his baby.

The four-time Grammy award nominee has been serenading his wife Brooke Sansone’s baby bump with a rendition of “Something in the Way She Moves” by James Taylor, hoping that the soon-to-arrive newborn, expected in March, will enjoy music. Puth revealed that his own mother, music educator Debra Puth, introduced him to a diverse range of music from a young age. In an interview with Extra, he stated, “I sing ‘Something in the Way She Moves’ by James Taylor because that’s what my mom sang to me.”

Charlie humorously mentioned that he performs his own tracks to familiarize the baby with his “whole discography.” He joked, “And I sing baby, my music because if baby doesn’t arrive knowing my whole discography, I’m going to be a sad dad. I’m just kidding! Baby can be whatever baby wants to be.”

As per reports, the hitmaker behind “We Don’t Talk Anymore,” who is keeping the sex of his and Brooke’s first child a secret, plans to release his new album, “Whatever’s Clever,” in March 2026. He has expressed that fatherhood is his “favourite change ever,” emphasizing that this time he is prioritizing life over music.

“It’s different because I put life first and then let music follow,” he explained. “Usually, I come up with the musical motif and then fit life into it. This time, it was almost like a therapy session, and then it just happened to have a melody.”

Charlie, who announced the pregnancy in his new single “Changes,” added, “I think right now, you have to be as human as possible. There are a lot of new, no pun intended, changes happening in my life, and I realized there were many things I hadn’t sung about yet. That’s what this album is going to be filled with.”

He has also teased that he’ll perform “Changes,” the first single from “Whatever’s Clever,” along with other hits on Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest on December 31. Charlie emphasized that family life now takes precedence over his music career, stating, “Other than getting married, fatherhood is the first time that surpasses music. Music has always been my favourite thing. Getting married surpassed that, and now there are things above music.”

In a previous appearance on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” he expressed his hopes that he and Brooke’s baby “likes music.”
