09 December,2025 03:05 PM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentRekha, a Bollywood actor, received the Red Sea Honouree Award. She earned the award at the Red Sea International Film Festival in Jeddah during a showing of Muzaffar Ali's restored version of Umrao Jaan, a 1981 classic. Channeling Umrao Jaan, Rekha even participated in some shayari (poetry) while discussing movies. While on stage at the Red Sea Festival, Rekha quoted the famous song Dil Cheez Kya Hai from Umrao Jaan, saying, “Is anjuman mein aapko aana hai baar baar ... deewar-o-dar ko gaur se pehchaan lijiye (You have to come here over and over, get familiar with these walls and doors). And I mean that.” Rekha expresses gratitude to Umrao Jaan She then encouraged the audience to watch films, emphasising how restorative they are and saying, “You come to see this film every single day. Come to see films every single day. That’s the only soothing factor. There’s no potion, no healing material than films. I am a living example. I am alive because of films.” Rekha also went on to share about how she’s not much of a talker and revealed, “I am not much of a talker. Even in Umrao Jaan, the dialogues conveyed only half of what my eyes could see and express. Muzaffar (Aziz) Saab is right. I think one look is enough.” Remembering her mother, Pushpavalli, Rekha went on to share, “As my mother always used to say, you don't talk about your achievements and feelings. You don't teach people by telling them what to do. You just live by example. You live your best life, and they can learn and evolve, especially what not to do.” Umrao Jaan is based on Mirza Hadi Ruswa's 1899 Urdu novel, Umrao Jaan Ada. The film portrays the life of a Lucknow tawaif (courtesan) and poet who rose to renown. It is widely regarded as one of Rekha's finest flicks.

09 December,2025 02:58 PM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentActress-cum-singer Iulia Vantur shares a close bond with Bollywood superstar Salman Khan and family. The Romanian beauty, while in conversation with IANS, spoke her heart out about Salman Khan's father and legendary writer Salim Khan. “He’s a beautiful soul and a legend,” said Iulia while talking to IANS. “Every moment spent with him feels like a life lesson. I am blessed to have him close to my life. His support means a lot, especially when I am far from my own family,” she added. Talking about being a Bollywood buff, Iulia said, “I grew up watching iconic Hindi films. In Romania, we even watched Raj Kapoor’s movies in theatres. They shaped my early image of Indian cinema. Bollywood is like home to me.” The actress who moved to India while at the peak of her career in Romania elaborated on her decision while talking to IANS. Would she want to change anything about her decision to shift to India? When IANS asked Vantur about it, she said, “I wouldn’t change a thing, not even the hardships. Moving to a new country removes you from your comfort zone. You have to strip away all the labels, all the titles you once carried, and rediscover who you really are without them.” She added, “In Romania, I had a flourishing career, I hosted Dancing with the Stars, presented the news, had my own news journal, I was at the peak. But life gave me something even greater: a new path, singing in another language, performing on stages, and recording songs. It’s a completely different world, and I love it. Now I know singing is my true passion." For the uninitiated, Iulia, on the 24th of November this year, had penned a beautiful note for Salim Khan in honour of his 90th birthday. Sharing a beautiful picture with Salim Khan, the actress wrote, “Happy birthday to my favourite human being Salim Khan: a father, a teacher, a friend, an inspiration, a motivation, a believer, a pillar, a blessing in my life. Beyond grateful Love each other or perish!.” “May your heart always be full of love, happiness and compassion. May you keep inspiring and blessing more people with your wisdom and strength. I love you.” This story has been sourced from a third party syndicated feed, agencies.

09 December,2025 02:09 PM IST | Mumbai | IANSAkshaye Khanna has impressed everyone with his performance in the recently released film Dhurandhar. Directed by Aditya Dhar, the film sees him play gangster Rahman Dakhait. After the release, the internet has been flooded with memes and clips from the film, largely focused on Khanna and his on-screen aura. Many viewers have praised the actor, even using clips from his older films to celebrate his performance. Meanwhile, a section of netizens has been wondering whether Khanna is even aware of all this social media attention. Farah Khan turns meme messenger Akshaye Khanna has no social media presence, gives very few interviews, and prefers a quiet, private life. But it turns out the actor is very much aware of the memes- thanks to filmmaker Farah Khan. A meme page posted a video of Akshaye’s look as Rahman Dakhait, looking stylish in a turban and sunglasses. The caption read, “Does Akshaye Khanna know he’s getting all this attention?” The post went viral and was noticed by Farah Khan, who worked with Khanna in Tees Maar Khan. Responding to the post, Farah wrote, “I’m sending him the TMK memes.” Farah is keeping bro updated 😭byu/Acrobatic_Neck_5866 inBollyBlindsNGossip About Khanna’s viral moves in ‘FA9LA’ Khanna makes his entry in the movie to the song FA9LA, created by Bahraini hip-hop star Flipperachi. The track has become a crowd favourite and gone viral on social media. Choreographer Vijay Ganguly told Mid-Day, “The song is a celebration of Akshaye’s character being crowned Sher-E-Baloch. Originally, he was supposed to walk through the dancers and sit on the throne. But seeing the mood of the scene, Akshaye decided to dance a bit. None of us knew what he was going to do. He entered the scene and spontaneously performed.” Even as he looks back on it, the choreographer is amazed that FA9LA was shot in barely two hours in Ladakh. For that, he credits Khanna’s precision. “It was the first shot we took that day, and it was perfect. Then we did a close-up, and we were done. Akshaye knows exactly what he has to do in a scene and plays with it,” shares Ganguly. Directed by Aditya Dhar, Dhurandhar stars Ranveer Singh, R. Madhavan, Arjun Rampal, Rakesh Bedi and Sara Arjun in key roles. The second part of the film will release on March 19, 2026.

In September, Pratik treated the netizens with some adorable photographs of himself with his wife from the prestigious film festival and looked back on their 19-year-long journey together. He wrote, "It began like a scene written by fate itself. A boy beneath the glow of stage lights, a girl hidden among the silhouettes of an audience. Who could have known that a single glance from the wings to the crowd would spark a love that even the spotlight couldn’t outshine? She stepped backstage, her words a standing ovation.. an actor herself, she recognised the tremor of truth in his performance (sic)." "Two strangers, both draped in the language of theatre, walked out for coffee, only to discover, laughing, that neither of them could stand the taste. And yet they lingered, long enough for friendship to soften into something more tender, for laughter to knit itself into vows. They married, they dreamed, not just of life together, but of standing side by side, someday, on the same screen. Nineteen years later, the curtain rises again. They are inside the dream they once whispered about. Coffee now warms their mornings. The boy is still in love. The story is still being written…," the post concluded.
