Singer Jonita Gandhi recently opened up about her experiences with online harassment and inappropriate behaviour from fans at public events. In a candid conversation with Hauterrfly, the singer spoke about the darker side of fame and how she deals with unsolicited online and offline attention.

“It’s disgusting, but I report it” During the interview, Jonita shared a particularly disturbing incident involving social media misuse. Recalling an incident of digital harassment, she said, “On Instagram, you can check your mentions, right? So I was checking my mentions, and I had been added to someone's 'Close Friends' list. I was seeing their Instagram story, and it's a d*ck pic... It's a watermark of their thing with my photo in the background. It's disgusting.”*

The ‘What Jhumka’ singer added that while she usually ignores such things, it’s still a form of harassment. “I also report these things. I think they just want attention. People are jobless. I've blocked so many people because of these things,” she said, expressing concern over the impact it may have on her family. “People also tag you in such photos. I don't really care, but if my mom checks my profile and sees those things... I want to protect her from those.” “Some people just want a female performer on stage” Apart from her online experiences, Jonita also reflected on awkward and sometimes alarming interactions with over-enthusiastic fans at live shows. She stressed the importance of performing for audiences who value her artistry and not merely her presence as a female performer.

“There are people who just get on the stage and say that they want to join me in singing. Of course, that's annoying. It is really annoying. And I hit them back with a sarcastic response, but they are too drunk to understand,” she revealed.

Talking about unwanted physical proximity, she added, “There are also some who come and try to dance with you. But I’ll be like, 'Back off. Know your place.'”

Speaking of the professional front, the 35-year-old artist is currently busy promoting her latest track, ‘Beparwai.’

In a heartwarming moment that blends legacy, family, and ambition, Ahan Shetty, son of the legendary actor Suniel Shetty, commenced the shoot for Border 2 in Pune on Father’s Day. The timing couldn’t have been more symbolic, as Ahan not only embarks on a career-defining journey but also carries forward his father's legacy in the world of cinema.

Border, the 1997 war epic directed by J.P. Dutta, starred Suniel Shetty in one of his most iconic roles as a soldier caught in the throes of battle during the 1971 India-Pakistan war. The film went on to become a cult classic, with Shetty's portrayal of a determined, brave soldier resonating with audiences across the country.

Now, 28 years later, Ahan Shetty is stepping into his own shoes, taking on the mantle of Border 2, the highly anticipated sequel. The sequel promises to bring a new generation into the fold of the patriotic narrative, while also paying homage to the iconic film that established Suniel Shetty as one of Bollywood’s finest action stars.

A well-placed industry source revealed that Ahan has undergone extensive training for the role, with preparation in both physical fitness and combat skills. Much like his father did in the original Border. Border 2 is expected to expand the scope of the original, delving deeper into the emotional and human side of war. The film will feature a strong ensemble cast, with Ahan Shetty leading the charge as one of the key protagonists.

While details of the plot are still under wraps, industry insiders speculate that the film will not only honor the original’s storyline but also bring in fresh perspectives, with a new generation of actors and characters.

As the Border franchise prepares to enter a new chapter, fans eagerly await what Border 2 has to offer. The film is set to be a heartfelt tribute to both the sacrifices of soldiers and the strength of family legacies.

In the post-pandemic era, there has been a renewed interest to watch re-releases or special screenings of older classics on the big screen. Hence, many such shows often get sold out or have high occupancy. And when patrons travel from one part of the city to another only to realize that the show has been cancelled, one can imagine the frustration. This is what happened on Saturday, June 14, during the special show of Khuda Gawah (1992), starring Amitabh Bachchan and Sridevi, held at Mumbai’s Inox R City Ghatkopar.

The show was scheduled for 5:30 PM in the 160-seater audi of Screen 7. Just around the show time, the management informed the patrons that the show had been cancelled as the content hadn’t been delivered to the cinema hall. As per reports, the show had an occupancy of nearly 90%, that is around 140-145 people were present. As expected, the patrons created a ruckus.

Bollywood Hungama spoke to Sriram Jay. He revealed how things unfolded, “I had booked the tickets of Khuda Gawah in advance. At the entrance, the QR code on my ticket wasn’t getting scanned despite multiple attempts. Then I was told that there is no show of Khuda Gawah and that it was replaced by Final Destination Bloodlines. The manager approached me. He said they didn’t receive the content of the film. He was shocked to know that I wasn’t called and informed about Khuda Gawah’s cancellation.”

He added, “I came to the theatre with great expectations and excitement to watch Khuda Gawah. There was almost 90% occupancy. Some patrons created a scene at the booking counter and refused to go back. This is so unprofessional. Imagine spoiling the weekend like this!”

He added, “The patrons were very upset. Some came all the way from Andheri; some even came from Panvel. I totally empathize with them. Someone called the BookMyShow customer care over this episode and they made it clear that they were not informed by the cinema hall over the cancellation of the show.”

The theatre provided a refund or allowed viewers to watch another film in the multiplex. Sriram Jay revealed, “I paid Rs. 300 for two tickets for Khuda Gawah. The management told me to select another movie which I did – Materialists – but the cost of the ticket was much higher. However, they were kind enough not to charge the difference; they adjusted against the amount of Rs. 300 that I had originally paid.”

He continued, “But the point here is that modern cinemas are very casual about such incidents. They feel, 'We are saying sorry and refunding the money' is enough as compensation. But what about deficiency in service? What about the loss of experience?”

This is the second such incident in Inox R City Ghatkopar in the last 30 days. In May, a frustrated moviegoer posted a video after the show of the Hindi version of Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning was cancelled, that too after making the attendees wait for 30 minutes. In the video, the theatre staffer can be seen explaining that the film couldn’t be played as the KDM wasn’t delivered. However, the Reddit user claimed that the show couldn’t be played as the projectionist wasn’t available. What angered the patrons was the lackadaisical attitude of the staff and refusal to cancel the food orders; the moviegoers instead were told to take the popcorn home. The video went viral and was covered by several news websites as well.

Bollywood actor Aamir Khan made a rare and powerful appearance on Aap Ki Adalat, where he responded to long-standing criticism over his photos with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his wife. The actor also spoke out against religious profiling and emphasized his support for India’s armed forces.

During the interview, Aamir Khan condemned communal attacks and questioned the morality of targeting people based on their religion. “You are shooting at common citizens, you are shooting at the people of the family. I could have been there, you could have been there. And you are shooting at them by questioning their religion. What does this mean?”, he said.

He insisted that he has spoken on this before and continued, “Now what happens is that I am not on social media. So, as things happen, people keep saying things (there) in every second. (Yet) I also talked about it. When I went to a function, I was asked about (the Pahalgam attack). So, my answer was very clear. This attack is not only on the people of our country. This attack is also on the unity of our country.”

The actor further clarified that any statement he made in support of the armed forces should not be seen through the lens of film promotion. “Look, the answer that our soldiers, our brave men have given — for that, if I speak (in favour of them), am I doing something wrong? Should I think about my film at that time, or should I think about my soldiers? At that time, if I think that my film is coming, then should I keep quiet? I can't talk about our armed forces. I feel this is wrong. So I said this openly.”

When the host Rajat also questioned him about the timing of trailer release of Sitaare Zameen Par, which almost dropped immediately after Khan extended his support towards armed forces, Aamir clarified, “Rajat ji, actually our film's trailer had to come a long time ago. And I cancelled it because of the attack on our country” and also added that another event which was the premiere of his old cult comedy Andaz Apna Apna was also cancelled in the wake of the attack.

"People misunderstood me that I didn't speak on Pahalgam attack and Operation Sindoor as I am not active in social media. Due to that terrorist attack I cancelled the trailer launch of my film for 10 days":- Megastar #AamirKhan ???? pic.twitter.com/houb1zRXjy — RAJ (@AamirsDevotee) June 14, 2025

Aamir also addressed the backlash surrounding his old pictures with Turkish President Erdogan and his wife, particularly in light of Turkey’s recent political stance. “Turkey has done a very wrong thing and every Indian has been hurt by this... So who gave them the first help? India gave them the first help. Our government helped them. Just like I did not know when I went to meet Erdogan. Just like the government did not know, even I did not know that they would do this to us after 7 years.” Speaking on the viral image with Erdogan's wife, he asserted, “That is even older than that. That is even older than that.”

He explained his presence at the meeting was not political but a courtesy as a public figure. “Now see, Mr. Rajat, what happens is that I, as a celebrity, as an actor, when I go to another country, I am like an ambassador of the country. So when someone tells me that you will come for tea, it does not feel right for me to say no,” he shared.

Aamir Khan finally expressed solidarity with Indians choosing to boycott Turkey. “Very right. We should not support Turkey at all. When they are attacking us, when they are helping us in Pakistan, when they are colliding with us, then they are taking it towards Pakistan. When we helped them. What is this? This is wrong. Very wrong”, Khan revealed.

The actor’s candid remarks have sparked fresh debate online, with many applauding his transparency and timing in addressing these sensitive issues.

Actor Ram Kapoor and wife Gautami Kapoor have made a powerful new addition to their collection — a swanky Lamborghini Urus SE SUV that reportedly costs upwards of Rs. 4.57 crores (ex-showroom). The luxury vehicle, which is the latest variant in Lamborghini’s Urus line-up, was recently delivered to the couple and has caught fans' attention not just for its price tag but also for its striking customisation.

Finished in an eye-catching Verde Gea exterior shade — a matte olive-green paint that exudes class and aggression — the Urus SE chosen by the Kapoors comes with a plush black leather interior, enhanced with bold orange accents. This configuration is known to be a rare and premium spec, typically seen in high-end luxury garages.

The Lamborghini Urus SE is the brand’s first plug-in hybrid SUV and is an upgraded model in terms of both performance and technology. It is powered by a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 engine paired with an electric motor, churning out a combined 789 bhp. The car can go from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.4 seconds, making it the most powerful version of the Urus yet. It also features an electric-only range of 60 km and comes with improved aerodynamics, revamped interiors, and the latest Lamborghini infotainment interface.

Ram Kapoor, who has a known fondness for luxury cars, already owns a Porsche 911 Carrera S and a BMW X5. This latest acquisition adds another performance-focused badge to his impressive automobile lineup.

Professionally, Ram Kapoor is gearing up for the release of his next OTT project Mistry, where he will be seen playing an investigator with OCD tendencies. The series is said to be the Indian adaptation of the hit American detective show Monk and will showcase Kapoor in a quirky, layered role unlike any he’s played before.

With a powerhouse role on screen and a powerful machine off it, Ram Kapoor seems to be living life in the fast lane.

Sitaare Zameen Par is less than a week away from release and is constantly in the news due to the subject, Aamir Khan’s star presence, his extensive promotional campaign and his decision to not sell the film to any OTT platform. The film has been submitted to the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) and Bollywood Hungama has learned the film has got a few cuts.

However, Aamir Khan, also the producer of Sitaare Zameen Par, has not agreed with these cuts.

A source told Bollywood Hungama, “The CBFC have asked for two cuts. Aamir Khan feels the film should be passed without these cuts. He and director R S Prasanna have made the film with a lot of thought. Certain scenes and dialogues, when seen in context, seem completely appropriate.” The source, however, has no knowledge of the cuts asked by the CBFC.

The source further said, “With Aamir Khan not accepting the cuts, the censor certificate wasn’t awarded to Sitaare Zameen Par. Aamir now plans to once again meet the CBFC Examining Committee on Monday and put forward his point of view. Hopefully, a solution will be achieved and the CBFC will pass the film on June 16. Once that’s done, the advance booking of the film will be thrown open. As per rules, cinemas can’t sell tickets in the absence of a censor certificate.”

Interestingly, Sitaare Zameen Par has been passed by the British Censor Board, called the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC), with a 12A certificate. The BBFC website mentioned that the film contains ‘discrimination and moderate sex references’. It further states that the film’s run time is 2 hours and 35 minutes.

Sitaare Zameen Par also stars Genelia Deshmukh and releases in cinemas worldwide on June 20.

Earlier, the plan was to give the film a very strategic release, that is, having a controlled number of shows and gradually increasing screenings based on the word-of-mouth momentum. However, as per reports, the latest development is that the film will be released in 3000 to 3500 screens due to request by the exhibition sector.

Imtiaz Ali, the filmmaker known for redefining romance and emotional storytelling in Indian cinema, is set to return to the director’s chair with an untitled project that promises to be a moving tale of love, longing, and identity. Slated for release on Baisakhi 2026, the film will begin shooting in August 2025. Bringing together a compelling blend of talent, the film stars Diljit Dosanjh, Naseeruddin Shah, Vedang Raina, and Sharvari in lead roles. With a contemporary and witty narrative that explores the emotional complexities of human connection, the project is expected to resonate deeply with audiences.

Imtiaz’s Signature Blend of Soulful Storytelling Returns Imtiaz Ali continues his tradition of crafting emotionally rich stories grounded in reality and lyricism. The upcoming film, he says, “has a big heart,” and is “set on a large canvas, yet very personal.” "It is a story of a boy and a girl," he shared, "but also a country." He further reflected on the film’s emotional core with a quote by poet Momin:"'Tum mere paas hote ho goya, jab koi doosra nahin hota.' Can love really be lost? Can home be taken away from someone’s heart?" The film also marks the return of one of Bollywood’s most iconic creative collaborations: A.R. Rahman, Irshad Kamil, and Imtiaz Ali. The trio previously gave audiences memorable soundtracks in films like Rockstar, Highway, and Tamasha—making the anticipation for this film’s music sky-high. The team promises “a film that moves you, music that stays with you, and a love story that becomes a part of you.” What to Expect With its release timed for Baisakhi 2026, the film seems poised to tap into themes of renewal, homecoming, and emotional growth—an apt fit for the spring festival’s spirit. Though the title remains under wraps, the narrative is expected to balance humour with pathos, tradition with modernity, and intimacy with socio-political undertones. As the film gears up for production, fans of Ali’s cinematic universe can look forward to another soul-stirring journey—one that’s as much about the heart as it is about the times we live in.

Actors Alia Bhatt and Sharvari have begun rehearsing for a new dance sequence in Yash Raj Films’ forthcoming action movie, Alpha. The song is designed to be an energetic dance piece featuring impressive visuals. Both Alia and Sharvari will appear in a brand-new look and are putting in great effort to nail their performance.

As per a report in ETimes, the song is being shot on a grand scale. Alia and Sharvari have been preparing for the number for more than two months. They’ve been practicing at YRF Studios in Mumbai and concentrating on their fitness to handle the choreography’s challenges.

A source familiar with the production told ETimes, “Both Alia and Sharvari were excited about this song. It's big and breathtaking. The ideas were always to have a visually stunning, high-energy song featuring the two female leads in an action-packed environment, and it's shaping up exactly like that.”

Directed by Shiv Rawail, Alpha is a part of the YRF Spy Universe and marks the first time a female lead headlines a film in this franchise. The movie also stars Anil Kapoor and Bobby Deol in supporting roles, with Hrithik Roshan making a special cameo appearance. The film is set to hit theatres during the Christmas weekend of 2025.

The YRF Spy Universe began with the Tiger series starring Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif, starting with Ek Tha Tiger and followed by Tiger Zinda Hai. The franchise has since grown to include War, Pathaan, and Tiger 3. Upcoming instalments include War 2 directed by Ayan Mukerji, as well as Pathaan 2.

Film producer Firoz A Nadiadwala must continue to defend a Rs 24 crores commercial claim after the Bombay High Court dismissed his plea to have the suit thrown out for want of formal service of summons.

Why the “no‑summons” argument failed Justice Abhay Ahuja ruled that once a defendant appoints counsel and actively participates in proceedings, technical non‑service of summons cannot be used to invalidate the case. Court records show Nadiadwala had been represented by a senior advocate in earlier hearings, indicating clear knowledge of the litigation. The dispute in a nutshell Financing agreement - On July 16, 2015, businessman Anil Dhanraj Jethani agreed to fund an unnamed Nadiadwala film. Suit filed - Jethani moved the High Court on August 19, 2015, seeking recovery of Rs 24 crores, alleging unpaid dues. Consent order - A consent order dated September 1, 2015, allowed Jethani to withdraw Rs 12.5 crores deposited by another defendant. The balance was to be paid by Nadiadwala before the release of his upcoming film Welcome to the Jungle, originally slated for December 28, 2024, but now delayed. Commercial Courts Act - After the Act took effect in October 2015, the matter was re‑registered as a commercial suit. Nadiadwala’s objections The filmmaker later applied to have the suit dismissed, arguing that: 1.No writ of summons had ever been served; hence, all subsequent orders, including the 2015 consent order, were void under the Civil Procedure Code (CPC). 2.No steps had been taken for more than seven years to issue fresh summons. 3. The financing agreement lacked a signature from one party, casting doubt on its enforceability. Court’s reasoning Justice Ahuja rejected these points, noting that the CPC permits waiver of formal service if the defendant has already appeared through counsel. The judge added that Nadiadwala’s earlier participation demonstrated awareness of the proceedings, satisfying the law’s underlying purpose of ensuring the defendant knows the case against him.

The suit will proceed before the commercial court. Both parties have been told to cooperate so the case can move toward trial without further delay.

It is speculated that the ongoing litigation could complicate financing and distribution plans for the third installment in Nadiadwala’s popular Welcome franchise. The comedy‑action film, announced with a star‑studded ensemble, has yet to lock a new release date.

Aamir Khan has officially confirmed that he will be making a cameo appearance in superstar Rajinikanth’s film Coolie, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj. In an interview with Zoom, the Sitaare Zameen Par actor shared this exciting news and revealed that he agreed to be part of the film because he is a huge fan of Rajinikanth.

Responding to a fan’s question about his cameo, Aamir Khan said, “I really enjoyed doing it. I am big fan of Rajini sir…huge fan. I have a lot of love and respect for Rajini sir. So, I did not even hear the script. When Lokesh told me that it is a Rajini sir’s movie and that he wanted me to do a cameo, I said, ‘Done. I am doing it. Whatever it is, I am doing it.’”

Coolie is an upcoming Indian Tamil-language action thriller directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj and produced by Sun Pictures. The film features Rajinikanth in the lead role, with co-stars including Soubin Shahir, Nagarjuna, Shruti Haasan, Sathyaraj, and Upendra.

The producers of the upcoming action film previously released an exciting title teaser showcasing superstar Rajinikanth battling villains in a factory-like setting. The short preview was presented in a monochrome style, with only the gold hue highlighted.

The teaser received an overwhelming response from audiences, who are eagerly anticipating this thrilling collaboration. The film’s music is composed by Anirudh Ravichander, with cinematography by Girish Gangadharan and editing by Philomin Raj. Coolie is set to release worldwide in both standard and IMAX formats in 2025.

Recently, Aamir Khan revealed that he felt ‘heartbroken’ after the film Sitaare Zameen Par received an underwhelming response and even considered giving up on the project.

In a recent interview with The Indian Express, Aamir Khan shared that he even asked director RS Prasanna to cast Farhan Akhtar in the film. He said, “To be honest, after Laal Singh Chaddha, I was quite depressed, heartbroken, and emotionally battered because I hadn’t had an unsuccessful film in very long. It was quite shocking for me because I’d also liked the film. So I was very surprised that people didn’t like it.”

The sports comedy-drama is a remake of the popular Spanish film Champions and stars Genelia Deshmukh alongside 10 newcomers in key roles.
