In honor of Shammi Kapoor, Bollywood’s timeless and legendary actor, we recall a man not only acclaimed for his exceptional acting skills but also cherished as a beloved public figure. Known as one of the megastars of his time, Shammi Kapoor began his film career with Jeevan Jyoti in 1953 and reigned supreme on the Bollywood stage from the late 1950s to the early 1970s. As we celebrate what would have been his 93rd birthday on October 21, let’s journey back in time when his first wife Geeta Bali persuaded him to get married and even shared a sweet moment by applying “lipstick on her forehead.

On this very day, October 21st, we’re celebrating Durgesh Kumar’s birthday, a name that echoes through households following his memorable role as Bhushan/Banrakas in Panchayat, a cherished series.

In the Star Wars sequel trilogy, many fans have been yearning for certain storylines to unfold, one of which involves a potential romantic relationship between the characters Poe Dameron (played by Oscar Isaac) and Finn (John Boyega).

At the moment, work is being done on the fourth installment of Netflix’s adaptation of “The Witcher,” a series inspired by the cherished novels of Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski. Debuting in 2019 to generally favorable reviews, Season 1 introduced us to Henry Cavill as Geralt of Rivia, the central mutated monster hunter. The story follows Geralt’s reluctant protection of a young princess who is pursued by the rulers of every dominant power on The Continent. Regrettably, the subsequent two seasons have garnered much harsher reviews and fan criticism compared to the initial season. Although critics generally concur that the series has shown improvement in its subsequent seasons, fans’ overall sentiment has grown increasingly negative. Season 1 received an audience score of 89% on Rotten Tomatoes. However, this rating dropped significantly for Season 2 (to 54%) and plummeted further to just 19% for Season 3.
