1. Alia Bhatt reveals Raha’s first song she watched

At a recent gathering in Delhi, Alia Bhatt playfully disclosed that her daughter Raha’s initial melody was “Kesariya” from the film “Brahmastra”. When prompted about which song she desired her child to watch, she explained, “We’ve started exposing her to songs gradually since she is almost two years old now. The very first song she ever saw was ‘Kesariya’ from ‘Brahmastra: Part One – Shiva”.

Yesterday, the National Award-winning actress shared that her nearly two-year-old daughter recently enjoyed watching Radha Teri Chunri from Student of the Year, one of Alia’s early films. She mentioned they are now introducing music to their child and also watched Badtameez Dil from Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani. Alia playfully remarked that her little Kapoor probably thinks dancing along with these tunes is quite ordinary!

As a lifestyle expert, I’m buzzing with anticipation for YRF’s War 2! The union of Hrithik Roshan and NTR Jr. on the big screen for the first time? It’s a collaboration that has me on the edge of my seat. Directed by the dynamic duo, Aditya Chopra and Ayan Mukerji, this sequel is poised to redefine action cinema with its pulse-pounding, trailblazing sequences. Though much of the film has already been captured, the highly anticipated climactic scenes are scheduled to start rolling in November 2024, with filming taking place simultaneously in Mumbai and an undisclosed location – a piece of exclusive intel I’ve picked up. Stay tuned for more updates!

According to the report, this pivotal confrontation, lasting twenty days to film, demands that Hrithik Roshan endure intense training, concentrating on building strength, agility, and martial arts abilities, in order to give a standout performance.

In a conversation with GQ India, Fardeen Khan disclosed that his son Azarius, much like the family tradition, has developed an interest in acting. He shared that both his children, 11-year-old daughter Diani and 7-year-old son Azarius, lean towards the arts. He mentioned that Diani takes pleasure in singing and dancing, whereas Azarius has recently voiced his ambition to follow in his father’s footsteps as an actor. Fardeen acknowledged that while it would make him ecstatic if his children opted for acting, he also underlined that the profession is challenging and can be overly demanding.

4. Sanjay Leela Bhansali reveals Alia Bhatt’s reaction to shelving of Inshallah

A while ago, Alia Bhatt and Salman Khan were slated to appear in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s movie titled Inshallah. However, the production of this film suddenly came to a halt. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter India, Sanjay Leela Bhansali shared that Alia was profoundly impacted by the news, as she secluded herself in a room and wept profusely. He described her reaction as “breaking down, cracking up, crying, raging, venting, and locking herself away.

Reflecting on the incident, he shared how, just a week later, he called Alia to offer her the lead role in Gangubai Kathiawadi. Initially uncertain about portraying the character, Alia expressed her doubts, but Bhansali reassured her to trust his vision. The rest, as they say, is history, with Gangubai Kathiawadi becoming a National Award-winning success.
