Actress Soha Ali Khan recently took to social media to share a glimpse of the Pataudi family’s Christmas celebration.

In the photo, the ‘Rang De Basanti’ actress posed alongside her brother Saif Ali Khan, sister-in-law Kareena Kapoor Khan, and their two adorable children, Taimur and Jeh. Another picture featured Soha with her mother, Sharmila Tagore.

We could also spot Saif sitting next to little Inaaya, who was busy hanging an ornament on the Christmas tree. This was followed by a delightful snap of Soha and Inaaya enjoying the decorating process together.

“So Christmas week has officially begun! #christmas #décor #christmasdecoration #christmastree (sic),” Soha captioned her post. The collection included several charming moments from the festivities, showcasing Inaaya sharing her Christmas wishes with Santa.

Soha keeps her followers updated by sharing sweet glimpses from her life on social media. Just earlier this month, on December 8, she offered a peek into Sharmila Tagore’s birthday celebration surrounded by family and friends.

The pictures captured Sharmila enjoying her special day with daughter Soha, son Saif Ali Khan, granddaughter Sara Ali Khan, and her friends. Soha wrote, “My amma on her birthday – missed you, Apa @sabapataudi.”

In response to Soha’s sentiment about missing her elder sister Saba during the celebration, Saba commented, “Missed being there sohe bia…But surgery had to happen n missed ma here too. She got stuck but I’m happy you guys made it and she enjoyed her birthday! Love u all. See u soon, inshallah.”

Sara also shared a heartfelt birthday message for her grandmother, saying, “Happiest birthday to the Chanda and Suraj of our family (two hearts, love hands, and full moon face emojis). Love you beyond words, Badi Amma (red heart emoji).”

Newbie actress Aneet Padda has expressed her love and admiration for her ‘Saiyaara’ co-star Ahaan Panday with a heartfelt birthday message on social media.

Heartfelt Birthday Wishes

Aneet shared some unseen photos and videos of Ahaan, who recently turned 28, while narrating a blessed future for him that has fans gushing.

In her touching post, she wrote, “I’ve seen the future. I’ve seen passersby smile when you laugh out loud, they can’t help it. I’ve seen colours change in the world around, when your eyes are lost in thought admiring an old woman, watering her plants, unaware. I’ve seen the scribbles in your notepad, holding the musings of an unusual mind, rare and magical. The change of your camera lens, stubborn in its search for beauty in the mundane. I’ve seen you be so selfless.”

Pride and Admiration

Aneet also shared how her parents, Ahaan’s mother Deanne Pandey, and all his close ones are extremely proud of who he has become.

She mentioned, “I’ve seen my mom and dad trusting you deeply, beaming with love when they ask ‘ahaan kiven ae? theek hai na?’ every video call. I’ve seen Deanne aunty cry every time she sees your face on that poster. Pride mixed with disbelief at her son’s kindness, his soul—at the man she raised. I’ve seen a stranger having a better day after talking to you. I’ve seen the security guard waiting for his daily chat with you at 2pm sharp. I’ve seen the world stop and stare at you before it knew why. Before it met its saiyaara on a movie screen. You were always a star, dadi was always proud. I saw the future then and I see it now. It’s all set to come true,” she added.

A Special Message

Concluding her special birthday wish, she said, “Happy birthday Ahaan, I will always be proud of the person you are. Thank you for giving the world the gift of you.”

Ahaan, touched by Aneet’s lovely words, commented, “No words do justice to what I felt after reading this ;()”

Actress Aishwarya Rai delighted her followers by sharing an adorable unseen picture of her daughter, Aaradhya Bachchan, as she celebrated her parents’ anniversary.

The heartfelt photo features little Aaradhya beaming with joy while nestled in her mother Aishwarya’s arms, alongside her grandparents.

In her warm anniversary message, Aishwarya wrote, “Dearest Darling Mommy-Doddaaa and Daddy-Ajjaaa Prayers and Anniversary Love God Bless Always LOVE YOU ETERNALLY (sic).”

The post also showcased another image of the ‘Taal’ actress’s parents smiling at the camera.

On November 21, Aishwarya paid a touching tribute to her late father, Krishnaraj Rai, on his birth anniversary. She shared a couple of cherished pictures of him with her and Aaradhya on her Instagram.

“Happy Birthday dearest Daddy-Ajjaaa, our Guardian Angel, Love you eternally. Thanking you for ALL your infinite love and blessings as our Aaradhya turned 14 (sic),” Aishwarya expressed in her caption.

For those unaware, Krishnaraj Rai was a marine biologist who passed away in 2017 after a prolonged illness. Aishwarya was known to be very close to him and frequently remembers him.

Recently, Aishwarya and Abhishek Bachchan were spotted together at Aaradhya’s annual day after a long time, accompanied by Aishwarya’s mother, Vrinda Rai, and Abhishek’s father, the legendary actor Amitabh Bachchan.

On the professional front, Aishwarya was last seen in Mani Ratnam’s “Ponniyin Selvan: Part 2,” where she portrayed the role of Oomai Rani. The film reached audiences in 2023 and earned her the ‘Best Actress in a Leading Role’ (Critics) award at the South Indian International Movie Awards (SIIMA) in Dubai.

Filmmaker James Cameron has voiced his displeasure regarding one of Amy Poehler’s most cutting jokes from the Golden Globes.

Cameron referred to the comment as an “ignorant dig” aimed at him, according to a report. In a recent interview with The New York Times, the Oscar-winning director of ‘Titanic’ shared that Poehler crossed a line with her joke about his marriage to Kathryn Bigelow.

The joke in question was delivered at the 2013 Golden Globes, where Bigelow was nominated for best director for her work on ‘Zero Dark Thirty.’ During her opening monologue with co-host Tina Fey, Poehler commented on the controversy surrounding the film’s portrayal of torture by quipping, “When it comes to torture, I trust the lady who spent three years married to James Cameron.”

The audience’s reaction was palpable, with Jessica Chastain, a star in Bigelow’s ‘Zero Dark Thirty,’ visibly shocked by the remark.

Cameron expressed, “Amy Poehler’s remark was an ignorant dig, at an event which is supposed to be a celebration of cinema and filmmakers, not a roast. I’m pretty thick-skinned and happy to be the butt of a good-natured joke, but that went too far. The fact that people found it funny shows exactly what they think of me, even though they have no idea who I am or how I work.”

He also pointed out that Hollywood had set up a rivalry between the two directors during the 2009-2010 awards season, as ‘Avatar’ competed against ‘The Hurt Locker’ at various events, including the Oscars. Bigelow ultimately won the Oscar for best director, along with best picture for ‘The Hurt Locker.’

“I was the first one on my feet applauding,” Cameron recalled about Bigelow’s Oscar win. He added, “Kathryn and I thought the whole meta-narrative around us was pretty funny. I was a little concerned that it would just take away from her credibility as a filmmaker. It started to turn into a conversation that wasn’t about her film, and that bothered both of us.”

Actress Tanishaa Mukerji recently enjoyed her ‘Kulhad Chai’ during a visit to Indore, Madhya Pradesh.

The actress took to her social media account to share some delightful pictures from her experience. In the photos, she is seen wearing a full-sleeved T-shirt and holding a cup of Kulhad Chai, all while relishing the chilly weather. She expressed her enjoyment with the caption, “Thandi aur garam garam kulhad wali chai… Hits different!! #winterseason #chai #instadaily #instamood #tanishaamukerji.”

Known as the daughter of veteran actress Tanuja and sister of Bollywood star Kajol, Tanishaa has always been actively involved in various festivals and their management. This year, during Durga Puja, she took charge of the entire organisation and management of the celebration.

Tanishaa previously opened up about the emotional significance of the 2025 Durga Puja festivities. She shared how the occasion felt deeply personal, bringing back memories of her late father and her uncle Debu Kaka, who passed away a few months prior. “Today is a very special day for me. It feels like my father has come to the puja,” she remarked.

She added, “He loved the Durga Puja, and I feel very happy. It feels as if I am standing with my father today and reliving all those good memories.” Tanishaa fondly remembered her Uncle Debu, saying, “Today I feel like I am with my Debu Kaka, who passed away a few months ago. I feel he is here with me today at this very pandal. It’s very emotional.”

She also took a moment to elaborate on her festive ensemble.

The upcoming episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati will have Amitabh Bachchan stepping into the role of a student, as contestant MD Lucky Khan introduces him to some new-age relationship terminologies.

A Fun Banter Unfolds

The light-hearted exchange kicks off when Amitabh, clearly amused, inquires about the number of girlfriends Khan has had. He asks, “Sir, how many girlfriends do you have?”

Khan responds candidly, sharing, “Sir, I am a bit of an extrovert. I open up easily with people, so I mostly end up in the friend zone.” Quickly catching on, Big B humorously remarks, “Yeh Gen Z ki bhasha hai,” recognizing that he’s being introduced to an entirely new vocabulary.

Modern Terminologies Decoded

Khan continues to decode more Gen Z terms for the iconic host, casually mentioning phrases like “benching” and “situationship.” This modern vocabulary lesson clearly intrigues and entertains Big B.

A Touch of Humour

Adding to the humour, a voice from Khan’s relative, who is accompanying him on the show, interjects, saying, “I am coaching him to become a doctor, but he has done his PhD in some other subject.” This comment elicits laughter throughout the studio, perfectly wrapping up this playful segment.

Recently, actress Ananya Panday, who appeared on KBC to promote her upcoming movie Tu Meri Main Tera, also provided Amitabh with a crash course in Gen Z slang. The 83-year-old megastar was seen earnestly trying to grasp the new vocabulary as Ananya was joined by her co-star Kartik Aaryan. Tu Meri Main Tera is set to release on December 25.

Hollywood actor Alec Baldwin has opened up about his battles with suicidal thoughts following the tragic ‘Rust’ shooting incident.

The 67-year-old star was holding a prop gun on set in October 2021 when it discharged, resulting in the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and injuring director Joel Souza. Baldwin found himself embroiled in a legal fight, facing manslaughter charges connected to the incident. Though the charges were dismissed twice and the case has concluded, Baldwin shared that the stress led him to contemplate life without hope.

During an appearance on the podcast Dopey: On the Dark Comedy of Drug Addiction, Baldwin expressed, “When you get to that point where you go, ‘I don’t want to wake up another day, I’m gonna go’, I swear to God, I mean, to talk about it, and it’s really kind of unappealing to me because to talk about killing yourself and to actually kill yourself are two so profoundly distinctive things.”

He reflected on the commonality of such thoughts, stating, “I think a lot of people, I think countless people think about killing themselves and ending their life, and then very few do. And for me, I remember, I used to lay there in bed and go: ‘Oh God, I can’t wake up another day and have it be the same. It’s the same every day. And I can’t do it’. But somehow I found the faith in God to, you know, not kill myself tomorrow. Let’s wait one more day.”

Baldwin also shared his distress over the impact of the tragedy on his wife Hilaria and their children, believing it has “taken 10 years” off his life. He remarked, “The people I was most concerned about, the people that I had the deepest pain for, were my wife and my kids. Because my kids would see me sitting in a corner, you know, I couldn’t even move.”

He continued, “I don’t want to dwell on this. I just want to say that this was very painful for my wife and my family, my sisters and brothers, and so forth, my colleagues. And I can tell you, it broke every nerve in my body—spiritually, financially, work-wise, my career, my wife, my kids, my friends, my health. I mean, what it’s done to my health. If I told you what my health conditions have been since October 21, 2021, it’s taken 10 years off my life.”

This revelation comes after Baldwin’s wife Hilaria disclosed that he was diagnosed with PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) following the shooting incident.

Singer-actress Lady Gaga has been busy creating new music while on her ‘Mayhem Ball Tour’.

The Grammy winner recently released two albums in quick succession: the “Harlequin” soundtrack LP in September 2024 and “Mayhem” in March 2025. Inspired by the energy of her fans each night, she has felt motivated to write more music.

In an interview with Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1, she expressed, “I’ve been making a lot of music, and it’s kind of the best making music when you get to see your fans every night because you’re energetically just right where you need to be.”

Adding to the buzz, The Weeknd, whose real name is Abel Tesfaye, stirred speculation about a potential collaboration with Lady Gaga after posting an old photograph of her from the “The Fame” era on his Instagram Story. When Lowe showed her the post, she mentioned, “I love Abel! It’s all I can say.”

Reflecting on the 2008 photoshoot, she stated, “In that photo, I look so immersed, completely in that moment. I remembered how I artistically directed every photo and every moment that I wanted my fans to see. It was really sweet that he posted that.”

The ‘Timeless’ hitmaker shared the snap of Lady Gaga standing in front of a black Lexus with the number plate “Lady Gaga.” The post had no caption, leaving fans to speculate. About a year ago, there were rumors that The Weeknd would be featured on “Mayhem,” but his contribution did not appear when the album was released in March.

Actress Shefali Shah has returned from her exotic trip to Norway with her family, sharing a heartwarming video of the welcome she received from her furry companions at home.

In the video posted by Shefali, she and her husband, Vipul Shah, are warmly greeted by their pet huskies. The adorable dogs can be seen jumping and wagging their tails, clearly excited to see their humans after several days apart. Shefali, capturing the tender moment, hugged her fur babies and conveyed her joy on social media, writing, “Couldn’t skip sharing this absolute joy we came back to!! #DogLove #Love #BestWelcome #Doggos.”

Known for sharing delightful moments with her pets online, Shefali had previously posted a video of her playful huskies, who were determined to stop her from packing by sitting in her bags.

During her recent trip to Norway, Shefali, along with her husband Vipul and their two sons, kept fans updated through her social media posts. She vividly described her thrilling experience of witnessing the Northern Lights, stating, “I thought I’d try and explain what it is to actually see the Northern Lights. But there are no words to describe the Aurora Borealis. This magnificence is unparalleled and impossible to translate.”

She further expressed, “Normally, I would Google it, but I don’t want to reduce this experience by finding science or logic behind it. This is beyond the realms of the human mind, and the only thing I could do was stand there in silence with tears in my eyes, feeling blessed, grateful, and humbled and surrendering to this miracle. And realize that I was lucky to be a mere spectator of this MAGIC.”

Concluding her thoughts, she added, “P.S. – I’d like to be like the Aurora Borealis, visible clearly when seen through a camera and otherwise elusive.”

In photos shared, Shefali, Vipul, and their children appeared ecstatic as they witnessed the breathtaking Northern Lights.
