10 December,2025 12:12 PM IST | Mumbai | IANSVadh 2, starring Sanjay Mishra and Neena Gupta and written and directed by Jaspal Singh Sandhu, is gaining momentum as one of the most anticipated films of 2026. Backed by Luv Ranjan and Ankur Garg’s Luv Films, the spiritual sequel introduces the veterans as new characters in a fresh story, while preserving the essence of Vadh. All about the poster Sharing the poster, the makers wrote in the caption, “Sometimes What You See Isn't The Whole Truth! Vadh 2 In Cinemas from 6th Feb 2026” As the film inches closer to its release with just two months to go, the makers have further heightened the anticipation by unveiling new posters of Vadh 2, which has come as a special treat for audiences. The striking posters featuring the powerful lead duo set the tone for a compelling cinematic experience. In the poster, Neena Gupta and Sanjay Mishra are seen giving an intense pose, which hides a gripping story in their eyes. In an interesting coincidence, the new posters were unveiled on 9th December 2025, the same date the original Vadh released three years ago in 2022. This unexpected alignment adds a subtle nostalgic touch for fans of the franchise. Vadh 2 has already been earning praise after making a remarkable impact at the 56th IFFI 2025. Its screening in the Gala Premiere Section drew a full house, with viewers responding with long applause and genuine appreciation for the film. The response further reinforced Sanjay Mishra and Neena Gupta’s reputation as two of India’s finest performers.

10 December,2025 11:48 AM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentActress Kritika Kamra, who will be seen in Anusha Rizvi’s The Great Shamshuddin Family, says being at the centre of a story written by a woman is a privilege she deeply values. Kritika shared her excitement about the film and the journey of portraying a character crafted by a female filmmaker with a distinct voice. Kritika told IANS: “Being at the centre of a story written by a woman, especially someone as sharp, thoughtful and fearless as Anusha is a privilege I deeply value.” “When I read the script of The Great Shamshuddin Family, I was instantly drawn to how authentic, layered and unapologetic her characters are. Women on screen are often boxed into stereotypes, but this story gives women the space to be flawed, funny, messy, vulnerable, assertive... everything at once.” Set over one day in Delhi, the narrative follows Bani as mothers, aunts, cousins and former romantic interests descend on her apartment, each bringing their own emergencies. As the protagonist navigates interfaith complexities, generational conflicts and family expectations, she faces a choice between pursuing international career opportunities or remaining with her family, reports Variety. The film features Farida Jalal, Shreya Dhanwanthary, Juhi Babbar Soni and Sheeba Chadda. She said that this film is also very special to me because it gave her the opportunity to work alongside an incredible team of women both behind and in front of the camera. “Sharing screen space with legends like Farida ji and Dolly ji and performing with phenomenal actors like Sheeba ma’am, Juhi and Shreya has been a learning experience I will always cherish. “I truly believe our film has warmth, joy and at the same time something deeply meaningful to say. I’m proud to be part of a narrative that celebrates complexity, womanhood and identity in such an honest way.” The Great Shamshuddin Family is set to arrive on JioHotstar on 12th December.

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, I received no follow-up care or even a single check-in from your crew. I’ve tried contacting your customer service with no response. This level of neglect is unacceptable. Please address this matter urgently.” 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 In fact, Neelam also hit back at a social media user for a mean comment. The user wrote, “Seems like a you problem. But let me try to get something out of it.” To this, Neelam responded, “You wouldn’t be so flippant had it happened to you, my friend, or one of your loved ones!” Neelam Kothari on her comeback Neelam started her career with Jawaani in 1984 and rose to fame with films like Love 86, Khudgarz, Hatya, Hum Saath-Saath Hain, and more. She retired in the early 2000s and shifted her focus to jewellery design. However, two decades later, she made a comeback with the reality show Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives. Neelam has also featured on shows like Masaba Masaba and Made in Heaven 2. However, she is yet to make her return to mainstream cinema. When asked about the status of that, she revealed to mid-day, “It's not like I've been offered any earth-shattering roles or even series. I have been offered stuff, but not something that makes you say ‘yes’. It's got to be something that interests me. When I did season one, I was in that space. I was very keen to make a comeback and act again. Now my priorities are sort of shifting a little bit because I'm realizing that I am doing a fair bit and my daughter is also growing up. So why not hang with her a little more before she packs her bags and is off to college?”

10 December,2025 10:07 AM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentWith relentless hardwork, Priyanka Chopra has carved a niche for herself not only in Bollywood but also in Hollywood. However, her early days were not easy. Speaking at the BRIDGE Summit in Abu Dhabi, the actor reflected on her choices in her early 20s and stated how she was greedy to work. She also shared how she sacrificed visiting her father at the hospital when he was ill. Priyanka Chopra on career sacrifices At the event, Priyanka candidly shared, “When I first started working, I was not selective at all. Whatever work I would get, I would do because it’s a privilege to just get work… I would say yes to everything. I was really greedy in my 20s. I wanted to work every day." She quoted Beyoncé and shared, “I feel like I am on the other side of my sacrifice. I worked really hard, I missed birthdays, I missed when my father was in the hospital. I should have maybe spent every day with him, but he would chase me back to set. I missed Christmases, Diwali, I missed time with my family. Because it’s romanticised with young people—if you don’t work hard, you don’t deserve success. Which isn’t true either." View this post on Instagram A post shared by BRIDGE Summit (@bridge) She further added, “But there is a time for everything. That time, I needed to work that hard. That 20-year-old me needed to make those sacrifices for this woman to have the life that I have now. If I hadn’t done that then, I wouldn’t be at a place where I have the privilege to be selective. Now I can choose when I want to say yes.” In the summit, the actress also shared how she had no pivot and said yes to every opportunity. She even shared how six flops in a row in one year impacted her career. Priyanka Chopra’s upcoming movies On the work front, Priyanka was last seen in the Amazon Prime Video action film Heads of State. She is currently busy filming SS Rajamouli’s ambitious Telugu project Varanasi alongside Mahesh Babu and Prithviraj Sukumaran. The film’s first look was unveiled at a grand event, and PeeCee’s speech won hearts. She also has two major Hollywood projects, The Bluff and Judgment Day. Their release dates are not yet confirmed.
10 December,2025 09:27 AM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentLate industrialist Sunjay Kapur's wife, Priya Kapur and their minor son on Tuesday contended before the Delhi High Court that it does not have jurisdiction to injunct them from dealing with foreign assets in the UK and the US. Priya Kapur's counsel submitted that the issue of foreign assets is a matter of foreign jurisdiction and the high court cannot stop them from seeking title of Sunjay's immovable properties abroad. Apart from this, Karisma Kapoor’s kids lawyer laid out evidence suggesting her 2023 removal from AIPL was neither routine nor consensual. Priya Kapur on Sunjay Kapur’s foreign assets Justice Jyoti Singh, who concluded hearing arguments on an interim injunction application filed by Bollywood actress Karisma Kapoor's children to restrain Priya Kapur from alienating them from Sunjay's assets, asked the parties to file their written submissions in the matter. The court listed the case for further consideration on December 22. The interim application was filed in a suit of Karisma Kapoor's children, challenging their late father's purported will of his assets, reportedly worth Rs 30,000 crore. During the hearing, senior advocate Akhil Sibal, appearing for Priya's minor son, argued that the mother (Priya) has no intention to sell the shares in Aureus Investments Pvt Ltd (AIPL), which were transferred to her after her husband's death. But as far as immovable assets in the US and the UK are concerned, the high court here has no jurisdiction to pass a status quo order regarding them, he submitted. He added that as per law, it can only be determined by the courts of jurisdiction in which the property is situated. Senior Advocate Mahesh Jethmalani, representing the actress' children, said if that was the case, the court could pass an order restraining Priya Kapur from "misusing the (alleged) forged will" to seek title of the properties located abroad. About Priya’s removal from AIPL Advocate Mahesh Jethmalani, appearing for Samaira and Kiaan Kapur, laid out evidence suggesting her 2023 removal from AIPL was neither routine nor consensual. Instead, it was presented as the result of a serious marital breakdown followed by a rapid and opportunistic reoccupation of power after Sunjay Kapur’s death. If Priya’s 2023 exit was orderly, Jethmalani argued why did her return to AIPL occur immediately only after Sunjay Kapur’s demise? The answer, according to the plaintiffs, lies in the sequence of post-death appointments. On 13 June, just a day after Sunjay Kapur passed away, Priya was appointed a director of AIPL. By 20 June, she had reinstated herself as Managing Director. Jethmalani characterised this as a calculated consolidation of power, enabled by the sudden vacuum created by Sunjay’s death and accompanied by the production of a Will that is now heavily contested. “She was not in control when Sunjay was alive,” he said. “She sought control only after his passing.” Sunjay Kapur passed away on June 12 after collapsing during a polo match in England. He reportedly suffered a sudden cardiac arrest.
