Amid rising tension over Taiwan, Xi Jinping warns Joe Biden not to ‘play with fire’The recent episode of Koffee With Karan 7 some hot brewing conversations with Liger stars Vijay Deverakonda and Ananya Panday. While dodging the many rumours about her love life, Ananya Panday revealed about how she has been hitting on her co-star Vijay Deverakonda. Amidst interesting confessions and revelations, Karan Johar also played the usual quiz round with the stars. While the initial few quizzes saw Ananya acing it with her Bollywood knowledge, soon the tables turned when other questions started.
Koffee With Karan lovers would be aware that the quiz round also features a mini section where the stars are asked to call co-celebrities, especially actors who are asked to say, ‘Hey Karan, it’s me’ to the filmmaker and also reveal what they are doing at that point of time. In the same round, Ananya Panday ended up calling Kartik Aaryan. The actor, who picked up the phone, said, ‘Hey, Karan it’s me’. Followed by that, Ananya asked him about his whereabouts but before he could reply, Karan chimed in adding, “He is again promoting Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 if I know right.” Playing along, Kartik added, “Yes, yes I am at home promoting Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2.” The conversation concluded with Karan politely ending it with a ‘thank you’.
As for the rest of the game, it ended with a tie between Ananya Panday and Vijay Deverakonda, While Vijay ended up calling on Samantha Ruth Prabhu in the celebrity calling round, Ananya followed up the Kartik call with another call to Janhvi Kapoor, who was on the sets of Bawaal. So she ended up making Karan talk to Janhvi and Varun, thereby winning extra points. Their tie breaker was the question – ‘Who was the leading lady of Maine Pyar Kiya’. Ananya Panday answered saying, ‘Bhagyashree’, thereby winning the round.

Sonia Gandhi questioned by ED for 6 hours, called again tomorrowParas Kalnawat, who plays the adorable second son of Anupamaa, garnered a lot of fame for his unconventional role in the Star Plus series. While the actor’s track has not been the focus for quite some time owing to the exit of his onscreen fiancé Nandini aka Anagha Bhosale, he was expected to return with a new track on the show. However, it seems that all of it is short-lived. With recent reports of the actor joining the Colors show Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 10, it seems that the makers are quite miffed with his entry on the dance reality show. In fact, producers of the show have terminated their contract on the grounds of breach of contract.
In a recent statement released by the production house, it has been said, “Producer Rajan Shahi, who produces Anupamaa on Star Plus, has taken a stand to terminate the contract of actor Paras Kalnawat who played Samar in the show on account of breach of contract for signing up a show on another channel without any prior intimation. Directors Kut and Rajan Shahi has always been accommodating to actors and never stop any actor's growth. Even in the case of Paras, in the past, adjustments were made to accommodate the opportunities he used to get and take up, but with the consent of the production house.” On the other hand, Rajan Shahi too confirmed the developments adding, "We as a production house won't entertain breach of contract. We have terminated his services as an actor with immediate effect. We wish him all the best for his future endeavors.”
Anupamaa is a prime time show that has been ruling the TRP charts for the past few months. A new leading lady was brought on board to play the love interest of Samar who was still reeling from the after effects of his breakup with Nandini. Now, with the exit of Paras as Samar, it is yet to be seen who will fill the shoes of Anupama’s second son on the show. On the other hand, the actor was recently confirmed as the contestant of Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 10.
Woman whips out handgun, begins shooting inside US' Dallas Airport, arrestedSalman Khan recently left everyone surprised with his entry on stage during the Vikrant Rona event. The superstar, who is presenting this Kichcha Sudeepa, Jacqueline Fernandez starrer, made an interesting revelation while interacting with the media. During the conversation with media, the superstar may have announced that he would kick off No Entry 2 after wrapping up Bhaijaan.
While many actors in the past have revealed details about No Entry sequel including director Anees Bazmee, it was also being said that considering the work commitments of Salman Khan and Anil Kapoor, it was getting tough to adjust the shoot schedules. Although Anees Bazmee had revealed in an exclusive interview with Bollywood Hungama, that Salman may be considering kicking off No Entry 2 in December, it seems that the superstar used the Vikrant Rona event platform to drop a major hint about starting the shoot for the comedy.
He not only invited Anees Bazmee to the Vikrant Rona event but also added, “Yahan par aise writer director baite hain… Rs.100 100 crore ki hit de raha hai aadmi, woh bhi comedy mein… kal No Entry Mein bhi deyega … 300 crore.” (There is a writer-director here… he is giving Rs. 100 100 crore hits, and that too in comedy. He will give one with No Entry too. It will be Rs. 300 crores). His statement seems to have become an affirmation of sorts where it is being said that the actor will kick off the Anees Bazmee directorial No Entry 2 (Sequel) as soon as he finishes the shoot of Bhaijaan (Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali).
Coming to Vikrant Rona, readers would be aware that it is a multi-lingual fantasy adventure drama starring Kichcha Sudeepa as the leading man along with Jacqueline Fernandez and other actors playing pivotal roles. The Hindi dubbed version of the film will be distributed by Salman under his banner Salman Khan Films. Besides Hindi and its original Kannada, the Anup Bhandari directorial will also release in Tamil, Telugu, and Malayalam.

Accommodation at hotel been already provided to Lovlina Borgohain's coach: BFINot too long ago, Ranveer Singh took the internet by storm by doing a bold photoshoot for the Paper magazine. The actor, who is often known for his quirky sense of style, posed naked for the magazine cover and while his female fans couldn’t stop swooning over his avatar, it seems that an NGO has taken offense to the photoshoot. In fact, a complaint has been registered against the actor for hurting the sentiments of women.
According to ANI reports, an NGO has submitted a complaint against the naked photoshoot of Ranveer Singh at Chembur Police Station. As per the complainant, the Bajirao Mastani actor should be charged under various sections of IPC (Indian Penal Code) as well as the Information Technology Act for the photoshoot, as they also added that it hurt the sentiments of women and insulted their modesty. However, a Chembur police official was quoted saying to these reports that they have not registered an FIR against the actor until now and that they are still in the process of an investigation. “We received an application from a person associated with an NGO on Monday. No FIR is registered so far. We are enquiring," said the official.
Ranveer Singh was seen posing naked for the Paper magazine over a Turkish carpet and the photos of the same were shared on the official Instagram handle to the actor too. While his fans and his colleagues from the industry have extended their support to the actor and called it a brave move, there are many who felt that the photos were indecent.

Season 7 of Koffee With Karan kicked off on Disney+ Hotstar with Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani stars Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt followed by actresses Janhvi Kapoor and Sara Ali Khan as guests in the second episode. As the buzz around the show increases, the Koffee With Karan couch saw Akshay Kumar and Samantha Ruth Prabhu bring lively potboiler of glamour, secrets and witty one-liners.
When Karan Johar asked Akshay Kumar what's the worst thing he has read about himself, "I don't read much about it. There has not been much negative written about me as well. I am lucky that way. At most, they write 'Canada'. Not more than that. I don't pay much attention."
Karan quipped, "It's my favourite when trolls call you Canada Kumar." Akshay responded by saying, "Theek hai bula lo yaar."
He also addressed the conversation around being trolled for starring opposite younger female co-actors. Akshay Kumar was most recently criticized for starring opposite Manushi Chhillar in Samrat Prithviraj. She is 25 years old. He said, "They troll me for working with younger heroines because they are jealous. Why shouldn't I work with them? Do I look like I am 55? I don't understand what is the problem with it. They get jealous and write about it. Some media persons write about it or some trolls bring it up. I listen to it from one ear and let it pass from the other."
On the work front, Akshay Kumar will next be seen in Aanand L Rai’s next directorial, Raksha Bandhan. The film will release on 11th August.

When Karan Johar asked Akshay Kumar, "Do you think you combatted nepotism?" He said he didn't even what the word meant when he came in the industry. "I didn't even know meaning of nepotism. I asked my wife (Twinkle Khanna) then she explained it to me. Then I saw the whole fighting. When I came in the industry, I had no idea, I just wanted to earn money."
Akshay Kumar recalled he was getting paid Rs. 5,000 for teaching martial arts but when he got an ad shoot, he got paid Rs. 21,000 for two hours of work.

On the talk show, the actor spoke about doing a 7-hero film once and it was Jaani Dushman. Talking about how his character comes back from dead and how hilarious it was see it, the actor said, “I was working on a per-day basis and there was a scene where the villain kills me and I am dead. I got to know that the other hero who is going to be acting now, got stuck in New York and could not make it in time. I went up to the director and asked him if I had to come back again.” The actor was Sunny Deol and he was stuck due to some health issue.
“You won’t believe it, today where I stay, I needed money to buy that place, and Jaani Dushman got me the money to buy my house,” he quipped. Karan and Samantha could not stop laughing.

MP local body polls: BJP wins big, AAP debuts, Congress calls results 'encouraging'Instagram witnessed an interesting banter between Raksha Bandhan star Bhumi Pednekar and its director-producer Aanand L. Rai when they were in Jodhpur recently. It seems that the promotions for the Akshay Kumar starrer have kicked off in full swing as they are gearing up for a release next month. And their recent promotional leg was in this traditional quaint city in Rajasthan. While exploring the locales, it seems that Bhumi also decided to try her hands at their cuisine and shared a photo of Thali she was enjoying at a restaurant.
In a recent photo shared by Bhumi Pednekar, we saw the actress posing with a massive thali that consisted of some authentic Rajasthani delicacies, sweets for desserts, and side dishes as a part of thali. Needless to say, the actress looked excited to enjoy the wholesome meal. She shared a series of photos with a quirky caption that said, “Image No. 3 is proof I finished that thali all by myself ???? Also wrapped another film, toh treat toh banti hai. #RajasthaniThali” The third photo in the series featured the actress almost asleep on the restaurant couch after completing the meal.
Followed by the funny photo, many of her friends from the industry commented on the post. While Dia Mirza exclaimed, “No way,” Bhumi’s sister Samiksha Pednekar wrote, “All this food!! I’ve never wanted to be in Jodhpur this bad ????????” Many of her other friends also dropped some heart emojis on this post. On the other hand, Aanand L. Rai was the one who set the record straight saying, “Last thali teri nahi hai… mujhe pata hai ????” (the plate in the last photo is not yours, I know).
Speaking of the film Raksha Bandhan, as the name suggests, the film talks about the sibling bond that five sisters have with their brother Akshay Kumar. Bhumi plays the role of the actor’s childhood sweetheart. Directed by Aanand L. Rai, the film will release on August 11, marking the occasion of Rakhi celebrations.
A day ago, South industry woke up to the shocking demise of popular actor-filmmaker Pratap Pothen.

In a statement given by his wife, the actor-filmmaker, passed away in his sleep due to cardiac arrest in Chennai.
