Neelam Kothari has publicly called out an airline after what she described as a deeply distressing experience during her recent Toronto–Mumbai flight. Taking to social media, the actor shared that the journey turned into an ordeal marked by a prolonged delay and a serious medical emergency onboard, with little to no support from the airline’s cabin crew.

In her tweet, Neelam revealed that the flight was delayed by over nine hours, adding to the discomfort of passengers. However, matters escalated when she fell seriously ill mid-air. According to her account, she fainted after having a meal and had to be helped back to her seat by a fellow passenger. Despite the incident, Neelam claimed that there was no medical follow-up or even a basic check-in from the crew for the remainder of the flight.

Expressing her disappointment, she wrote that she had attempted to reach out to the airline’s customer service after landing but received no response. Calling the situation unacceptable, Neelam urged the airline to address the matter urgently, highlighting what she felt was a complete lack of accountability and care during a medical emergency.

Dear @etihad, I am extremely disappointed with the treatment I received on my recent flight from Toronto to Mumbai. Not only was my flight delayed by over 9 hours, but I also fell seriously ill onboard, fainting after a meal. Despite a fellow passenger helping me back to my seat,… — neelam kothari soni (@neelamkothari) December 8, 2025

The incident also sparked an unpleasant exchange online. A social media user dismissed her complaint with a comment that read, “Seems like a you problem. But let me try to get something out of it.” Neelam did not let the remark slide and responded sharply, stating that the reaction would have been very different had the same situation involved the user or someone close to them.

Neelam Kothari began her acting career with Jawaani in 1984 and went on to become a familiar face in popular films such as Love 86, Khudgarz, Hatya, and Hum Saath-Saath Hain. She stepped away from films in the early 2000s and transitioned into jewellery design. After nearly two decades, she returned to the spotlight with Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives and has since also appeared in shows like Masaba Masaba and Made in Heaven 2.

Remo D’Souza is set to present a refreshing take with his upcoming film, Tedhi Hain Par Meri Hain, a quirky, humorous story where perfection takes a backseat and madness leads the way in love. Stepping into the project is none other than actor Jitendra Kumar, renowned for his relatable and earnest portrayals across hit series and films. Mahvash will be playing the female lead opposite Jitendra Kumar.

The romantic-comedy, which promises a heartfelt and hilarious cinematic treat, is written by Pradeep Singh and will be directed by Jayesh Pradhaan. It is produced by Ishan Shilpi Verma, Vishal Tyagi, and Anwar Ali Khan in association with Kuree Studio and Shaisha Motion Pictures and music by national award winner, the legendary Ismail Darbar.

Addressing the film's unique concept, Remo D’Souza expressed his enthusiasm, stating, "In my journey as a filmmaker, I've always loved narratives that are rooted in reality yet filled with a unique spark. Tedhi Hain Par Meri Hain is exactly that it celebrates imperfection. It's about finding your kind of crazy in someone else, and having a relatable and bankable actor like Jitendra Kumar on board, with his fantastic ability to blend comedy and vulnerability, ensures this film will strike a chord with the audience."

This new venture sees Jitendra Kumar, loved for his acclaimed performances across Panchayat, Kota Factory, Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan and the recently released Bhagwat: Chapter One – Raakshas, has been portraying diverse characters with authenticity and emotional depth. The actor shared saying, "The title itself, Tedhi Hain Par Meri Hain, perfectly captures the spirit of true, unfiltered love. Playing a wonderfully flawed and real character in this film is a refreshing challenge. I believe the film will resonate with anyone who understands that the most beautiful relationships are often the most imperfect ones."

Mahvash also shared her thoughts on joining the cast, "This isn't just a love story; it's a wonderfully chaotic story! What drew me in was how real and imperfect the characters are; they feel like people you genuinely know. I can't wait for audiences to embrace the beautiful madness of this film."

Singer Sonu Nigam has reportedly leased out a premium commercial property near Mumbai’s Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC) for a total rental value of Rs 12.61 crores over a five-year period, as per property registration documents reviewed by Square Yards. The development has not been officially confirmed by the singer or his representatives.

According to the documents, the leased office space is located at Trade Centre BKC in Santacruz East and measures approximately 4,257 sq ft. The property has been taken on lease by Pattni Hospitality, the company behind the Downtown 29 café and bar brand, which has a presence in Mumbai’s hospitality circuit.

The lease agreement was registered on December 2, 2025. As per the registration details, stamp duty of Rs 3.27 lakhs and a registration fee of Rs 1,000 were paid for the transaction. The deal also includes a security deposit of Rs 90 lakhs.

The rental arrangement reportedly begins at Rs 19 lakhs per month for the first year. From the second year onwards, the agreement includes a 5.26 per cent escalation, taking the monthly rent to around Rs 20 lakh in Year 2, with proportionate increases continuing over the remaining lease term.

Trade Centre BKC is among the prominent commercial developments in the Santacruz East–BKC belt, an area that has seen sustained demand from corporate offices, financial institutions, and hospitality brands due to its proximity to Mumbai’s financial district.

The battle over the late industrialist Sunjay Kapur’s Will, has already become one of the most closely watched legal disputes considering its connection to Sunjay’s children with actress Karisma Kapoor, Samaira and Kiaan. It has further intensified in the Delhi High Court as new arguments cast doubt on the credibility of Priya Kapur’s defence.

Senior advocate Mahesh Jethmalani, representing Samaira and Kiaan, dismantled Priya Kapur’s long-standing claim that her 2023 exit from Automotive India Pvt Ltd (AIPL) was a consensual “position swap” with Sunjay. Instead, he described her removal on 31 May 2023 as a direct fallout of marital discord—arguing that corporate filings reveal she neither became Managing Director of Raghuvanshi Investment Pvt Ltd (RIPL) nor held any role in the company.

According to Jethmalani, “Priya was never made the MD of RIPL… She was removed from AIPL,” countering her assertions of a smooth corporate restructuring. The absence of any parallel appointment, he said, undermines her narrative of a stable blended family and seamless transition—an especially relevant point given her repeated references to cordial ties with Karisma Kapoor’s children.

What followed Sunjay’s death in June 2023 is now under even sharper scrutiny. Records presented in court show Priya Kapur was appointed as a director of AIPL a day after his passing, and reinstated herself as Managing Director within a week. Jethmalani argued this reflected not continuity, but opportunism: “She was not in control when Sunjay was alive. She sought control only after his passing.”

The corporate timeline, the plaintiffs argue, aligns too conveniently with the sudden appearance of a contested Will—a document central to determining the legal rights of Sunjay’s heirs, including Karisma’s children.

Complicating matters further is the conduct of the named executor Shradha Suri Marwah, who, according to submissions, neither pursued probate nor took charge of Sunjay’s assets as required. Jethmalani contended that an executor cannot selectively enforce parts of a Will. The court was also told that Shradha claimed to have “deleted” a crucial email attachment containing the alleged Will—despite the email itself being produced in court.

“You cannot delete the attachment without deleting the email,” Jethmalani argued, highlighting what he described as an “impossible explanation” and pointing to the suspicious disappearance of a supporting document that appeared in an earlier email but not in the final version.

With the matter listed again for December 22, the court will continue to examine inconsistencies around Priya’s corporate role, post-death actions, and the missing attachment—issues that now lie at the heart of a dispute carrying significant implications for Sunjay Kapur’s children, his legacy, and the businesses he once helmed.

Salman Khan Ventures Private Limited (SKV) has announced an ambitious Rs. 10,000 crore integrated township project in Telangana after signing an MoU with the state government. Spread across 500 acres, the development is positioned as a next-generation smart city that brings together residential, commercial, entertainment, and sports ecosystems within one expansive hub.

According to the company, the masterplan features mixed-use commercial districts, branded residences, premium hotels, and high-end retail avenues. The township is also expected to include large entertainment complexes and lifestyle destinations tailored for modern urban consumers. In line with SKV’s vision of building global-standard infrastructure, the project proposes extensive sports and leisure facilities — ranging from a championship-level golf course and racecourse to a shooting range and multiple advanced sporting arenas. A state-of-the-art film studio is also part of the blueprint, further strengthening Telangana’s growing position as a preferred destination for film and digital production.

The company noted that the mega development is designed to drive long-term economic activity, generate substantial employment, attract tourism, and contribute to the state’s broader urban growth roadmap. SKV also expressed gratitude to the Telangana government for its proactive support and confidence in backing a project of this scale.

Even as his venture expands its footprint, Salman Khan is simultaneously busy on the film front. The actor will next be seen in Apoorva Lakhia’s Battle of Galwan, which also stars Chitrangda Singh. The action drama is based on the events of June 15, 2020, when 200 Indian soldiers courageously defended their territory against nearly 1,200 Chinese PLA troops in the Galwan Valley. Currently on floors, the film reportedly required Salman to undergo an extensive physical transformation to embody the role. The film is expected to release next year.

Actor Sourabh Raaj Jain, widely known for speaking up on social and environmental matters, expressed concern over recent developments related to the Aravalli Hills. The actor shared a detailed post on social media after learning about the Supreme Court’s decision to adopt a more limited definition of the Aravalli range—an update that experts feared could remove legal protection from almost 90% of the landscape.

Sourabh said he felt disturbed after watching several videos on the issue and later checking multiple reports online. He wrote, “Hope it is NOT what it seems to be,” while tagging relevant authorities. He also urged citizens to stay aware and not overlook what he believed could turn into a long-term ecological challenge if left unaddressed.

For those unfamiliar, the Aravalli Hills rank among the world’s oldest mountain ranges and have played a major role in safeguarding Delhi-NCR from desertification, rising temperatures, and severe pollution. Under the new criteria, a landform would be considered part of the Aravalli only if it rose at least 100 meters above the local terrain. Environmentalists argued that this benchmark was scientifically weak and could drastically reduce the protected area, making the region more vulnerable to environmental damage.

Sourabh reflected these concerns in his post, pointing out that such a change might allow renewed mining and construction in areas that were earlier shielded by law. Many low-lying ridges—though not meeting the 100-meter height requirement—held significant ecological value by supporting groundwater recharge, preventing dust storms, and helping regulate the local climate.

Sourabh Raaj Jain, who continued to connect with audiences through his varied roles across television and digital platforms and was last seen in Tu Dhadkan Main Dil, added his voice to the growing number of environmental experts and activists. They collectively urged authorities to reconsider the definition, stressing that decisions made now could affect the ecological stability of North India for many years to come.

Along with Dario, the acclaimed Narcos DOP (director of photography) Juan Carlos Gil has also come to India with a big international crew from Jaguar Bite [Colombia] for shooting here in Bengaluru, India.

From his teachings on peace and global harmony to his efforts in humanitarian work and conflict resolution, the film aims to present a nuanced and inspiring narrative. The production also brings on board an international crew to elevate the storytelling, further raising expectations.

Filmmaker Vikram Bhatt and his wife Shwetambari Bhatt have been sent to seven days of police custody by the Additional Senior Civil Judge and Additional Chief Magistrate, Udaipur Court. The order comes a day after the couple was detained in Mumbai by the Rajasthan Police in connection with an alleged IVF fraud case.

The development has sent shockwaves across the media and film industry. Vikram Bhatt and Shwetambari Bhatt were arrested on Sunday, December 7, in Mumbai in a cheating case amounting to Rs 30 crores, registered in Rajasthan.

According to PTI, the case involves allegations by Udaipur-based doctor Ajay Murdia, founder of the Indira Group of Companies. Dr Murdia has claimed that he was promised returns of up to Rs 200 crores, but the assurances never materialised. Along with the Bhatts, six other individuals have also been named as accused in the case.

A Times of India report stated that an Udaipur police team coordinated with the Mumbai police to carry out the arrest. The couple was taken into custody from Yari Road in Andheri and produced before a holiday magistrate in Mumbai, who granted two days’ transit remand, allowing the Rajasthan Police to take them to Udaipur for further proceedings.

Bollywood Hungama has learned that Vikram Bhatt made a special request before the magistrate regarding his travel to Udaipur. A source revealed, “Vikram Bhatt was informed that he would be taken to Udaipur by road. Considering the journey would take nearly 15–16 hours, he requested permission to travel in his own Mercedes car. However, the court declined the request, following which he travelled in a vehicle arranged by the Udaipur Police.”

Meanwhile, the case has also cast uncertainty over the promotions of Vikram Bhatt’s upcoming film Haunted – Ghosts Of The Past. An industry insider told Bollywood Hungama, “Vikram Bhatt had planned to launch the trailer of Haunted – Ghosts Of The Past on December 19. Given the current situation, it remains to be seen whether he will be able to move forward with the event as scheduled.”

Further developments in the case are awaited as the investigation continues.

Ajay Devgn was among the first to announce an Eid 2026 release for his comic caper, Dhaamal 4. However, the release period has gotten crowded over the last few weeks, as Ranveer Singh and team Jio Studios announced Dhurandhar 2 for the prestigious holiday period. The day will also see the arrival of Yash with Toxic. Keeping the complexities of box office in mind, Ajay Devgn has made a large-hearted move.

Very reliable sources confirm that Ajay Devgn and team have moved away from the Eid 2026 window. A source informed Bollywood Hungama, "After several rounds of discussions, and following the historic success of Dhurandhar, Ajay Devgn is not willing to take the risk of clashing with the sequel of this Aditya Dhar film. He and his team are now looking to release the film in the month of May 2026."

The source also confirmed that the decision is a practical one, as Ajay isn't someone who has the ego to be on the date just because he first announced it. "Ajay has always been a kind who stands for the industry, and he is well aware of the fact that Dhurandhar 2 could redefine the film business for Bollywood. He is in sync with the business of the first part and doesn't want to bring a comic caper against a film that speaks to the masses of India about the political conflicts. He feels Dhurandhar is an important franchise that deserves a clear run."

The new date of Dhamaal 4 could be in the Summer 2026 period, preferably May 2026, which could attract the kids to cinema halls.
