Bollywood actress Bhumi Pednekar's sister Samiksha Pednekar recently shut down a troll on Instagram who accused the Pednekar sisters of undergoing plastic surgery. This isn't the first time Bhumi has faced such comments online. However, this time Samiksha decided to defend them both with witty replies. The incident unfolded when Samiksha shared a video on Instagram featuring herself and Bhumi getting ready, dressed in traditional outfits. The caption read, "Me and my best friend." One user commented, implying they looked similar due to plastic surgery. Samiksha's response was simple yet effective, "Or same parents? Maybe?" Another comment referencing the song "Life in Plastic, It's Fantastic" was met with a quick "What plastic?" from Samiksha. She even addressed a user who mistakenly called Bhumi "Bhumika," replying with humour, "I don’t know who Bhumika is but?"   View this post on Instagram   A post shar

Actress Priyamani recently recalled going through a tough time after her marriage to Mustafa Raj. For the unversed, Priyamani was heavily trolled after her wedding to Mustafa Raj as the latter belonged to another religion. In an interview with Galatta India, Priyamani opened up on how she and her family dealt with negative comments.  Commenting on whether the criticism over her marriage bothered her, Priyamani asserted, “To be honest, it did affect me. Not only me per say but my family also, especially my father and mother. But I have to say my husband stood by me as a rock. He said, ‘Look whatever happens I will let everything come to me first. But all I would say is hold my hand and be with me through every step.' Because right at the time we were seeing each other, I faced a lot of rumours.”  The Jawan actress further added, “I had told him the same thing that ‘Stand by me and trust me.’ Because we have taken the step together and decided to spend the rest of our lives.

There is a strong possibility that Salman Khan and his family may finally move out of their supposedly permanent abode, Galaxy Apartments at Bandra in Mumbai. After the gun-firing incident on Sunday morning, the family has maintained its composure. But a close friend of the family said that this time the threat has shaken them. “Salman would do anything to protect his family. He will do what it takes. Even if it means moving out of his home in Bandra, which he has vowed never to leave,” said the source. For years, Salman has lived in one room in Galaxy Apartments, which is not even large enough to contain his clothes and shoes. But he refuses to leave to a larger place without his parents. His father Salim Khan wouldn’t hear of it. He is too attached to the apartment where all his children grew up. So, Salman wouldn’t move away either. That is, until now. One reason why Salman has shunned marriage is because he fears his wife would force him to move away from his parents. Though t

Bade Miya Chote Miya featuring Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff in the title roles, has opened to underwhelming reports. But director Ali Abbas Zafar whose earlier credits include the two relevant Salman hits Tiger Zinda Hai and Sultan , insists shooting his latest was the toughest. “Bade Miyan Chote Miyan (BMCM) is the most challenging and difficult film of my career. The kind of vision the script demanded and the journey to practically achieve it was a struggle. Especially when you’re attempting a genre such as action with two big action heroes, your film needs to look and feel a certain way, which was very difficult to achieve. The promise of Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, as the title suggests, is that it delivers a big screen visual entertainer. We’re very happy as a team that we have created something that we believed in right from the time we wrote the script. I think it’s a very visual film, it’s a very entertaining film, it’s very much today’s film. And because it’s designed for two act
