They welcomed their daughter Aaradhya in November 2011. While the couple often shared happy pictures, rumours of tension escalated last year when they started making separate public appearances. Reports even claimed they were not living together—rumours further fuelled by Abhishek’s absence from certain family events. However, in recent months, the couple has put these rumours to rest.

08 March,2026 09:04 PM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentActress Akansha Ranjan Kapoor, who is known for her work in ‘Guilty’, ‘Ray’ and ‘Monica, Oh My Darling’, has shared that she froze her eggs. The actress marked the occasion of International Women's Day to share her experience on the procedure. She marvelled at how the female body functions and spoke about the 'intense' process. Akansha freezes her eggs On Sunday, Akansha took to her Instagram, and shared 2 pictures of herself. In the first picture, the actress can be seen sitting on her hospital bed, and having a meal. The 2nd picture shows her in a fitter avatar. On International Women’s Day, the actor sparked a far more personal conversation, revealing that she has frozen her eggs and opening up about the demanding journey behind the decision. She also penned a long note in the caption, as she wrote, “Yesterday I froze my eggs!! I really didn’t plan on sharing, but today feels like the right day to say this, the female body is EXTRAORDINARY. The last two weeks were… intense. Injecting myself with fat needles every day, hormones doing their thing, the bloating, the mood swings, the endless scans, the meds, the IV drip, and finally the surgery. But all I wanna say is, women are BADASSES, and how in awe I am of how wonderfully intelligent and capable our bodies are (sic)”. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Kanch🐙 (@akansharanjankapoor) She further mentioned, “The 2nd pic is from today, dressing for the job I want. Athletic and getting back to my routine even though I could barely manage a 20-minute wobble around my building. But honestly, that felt like enough. Because this body just did something pretty amazing. Happy Women’s Day”. The honesty of the post struck a chord across social media. Egg freezing, often spoken about in hushed tones, suddenly became part of a larger Women’s Day conversation, about choice, timing, and the evolving realities women face while balancing careers, ambitions, and personal milestones. Akansha's work front Meanwhile, the actress is set to appear in Ikka, Sunny Deol and Akshaye Khanna directed by Siddharth P. Malhotra. The film is a legal drama and will be released on Netflix later this year.
08 March,2026 08:22 PM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentAcclaimed singer Shaan remembered his late mother on her birthday by dropping a throwback clip from his appearance on the reality chat show, "Jeena Isi Ka Naam Hai", during which her mother spoke about the singer's early days with host Farooq Sheikh. The clip had Shaan's mother revealing how, as a kid, he used to cry after his voice would break while singing in front of the guests. She can be heard saying, "Whenever someone would come, I would ask them to sing something. Sagarika (Shaan's sister) used to sing, and standing in the corner, Shaan used to say, "Mom, I also like to sing". While singing, sometimes his voice would break. Heartbroken, he would come to the kitchen, hold me, and cry. He would say, "Mom, why do you call me? I don't know how to sing." To this, I would tell him, "No, son, you will definitely sing when you grow up", and he would get extremely happy after hearing this." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Shaan Mukherji (@singer_shaan) When host Farooq Sheikh asked when Shaan and his sister started singing together, Shaan's mother replied, "Since a very young age, they used to sing jingles. They did not have a father. Both of them used to say, "Till when will we sing in uncle's group? We should do something on our own." For many years, I have been in the film chorus. I have gone to every music director. I am very grateful to them." Honoring the memory of his mother, Shaan said that whatever he is today, it is because of his mother. He wrote on his Insta, "On my Dearest Maa’s Birthday today sharing a small clip where she spoke about our early days with Farook Sheikh saab ..She raised us @sagarika.dc and me all on her own with such dignity and grace …and selflessness and gratitude... Proud of my Maa !! Whatever much I am .. I am because of how She was...(sic)." This story has been sourced from a third party syndicated feed, agencies.

08 March,2026 04:54 PM IST | Mumbai | IANSActor and comedian Sunil Grover ended up making a couple of unique friends during his latest trip to the highway. Taking to his official Instagram handle, Sunil uploaded a video where he was seen lovingly feeding a little calf. We could also see a light smile on his face as he spent time amidst his newfound friends. For the caption, Sunil wrote, "Made some new friends on the highway (sic)". View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sunil Grover (@whosunilgrover) He even added the track "Mai Ni Meriye" by Mohit Chauhan as the background score for the post. However, this is not the first time Sunil has expressed his love for the simpler joys in life on the internet. Recently, the comedian was seen washing clothes at a roadside hand pump. The clip published by him on the photo-sharing app showed him dressed in a casual light pink T-shirt, along with black sweatpants, with a bucket of clothes by his side. Sunil had his sleeves rolled up as he washed the clothes and later pumped the water to wash his face. While he did not add any caption, Sunil included the track "Na Tum Hamen Jano" by Hemant Kumar from the 1962 film “Baat Ek Raat Ki” as the background music. Before this, Sunil treated his Instagram family with a video of himself sitting on the floor and making rotis on a traditional ‘chulha’. The social media video had Sunil kneading the dough, shaping them into perfectly round rotis, and roasting them directly over the open flame of the chulha. “Friends Roti kha lo …,” he wrote the caption. Work-wise, Sunil is seen in "The Great Indian Kapil Show", which streams on Netflix. He has been receiving a lot of praise for his performance on the show led by comedian and actor Kapil Sharma.

08 March,2026 04:45 PM IST | Mumbai | IANSThe wait is finally over. Putting an end to all the anticipation, Shahid Kapoor has finally commenced the shoot for "Farzi 2".

08 March,2026 01:29 PM IST | Mumbai | IANSFor casting director Shruti Mahajan, cinema was never meant to be a career. Growing up in a conventional middle-class household, films were seen purely as entertainment. “The only world that we understood was engineering, MBA. Those were the career choices one made during those days,” she recalls while talking to mid-day. Mahajan followed that expected path and completed an MBA in human resources. But somewhere along the way, she realised the corporate structure was not where she belonged. “I knew at some point of time that I'm not made to do a 9-5 job. It doesn't make me happy. And my true calling is cinema, theatre, watching movies, people management.” An oustider who became one of the most successful casting director Her journey began as a casting assistant at Yash Raj Films in 2012 — an experience she describes as an education in filmmaking. “In that one year, I never went to a film school. It became a film school for me. I was on the job, I was learning on the job.” Within months, she knew she had found her calling. “In a month's time, it made me happy. It made me breathe. It made me feel alive. That one month felt like I've lived a lifetime.” After completing a year at the studio, Mahajan took the leap into independent casting. A few advertising assignments soon followed before an unexpected call changed everything. “I got a call from Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s office. They were looking for a new casting director and rest is history.” Today, she is known for her work in films like Gangubai Kathiawadi, Rustom, Sarfira, Ground Zero, Bombay Begums, Padmaavat, Bajirao Mastani and many more. Giving characters their ‘soul’ For Mahajan, casting is not simply about selecting actors. It is about translating a script into something emotionally real. “My goal is to always be authentic. Whether it is authentic to the script. And to be able to bridge the gap between a director's vision and the reality,” she says. Every role, she believes, must carry emotional depth. “As a casting director, every character should have a soul and an emotional connect. I also cast from an audience point of view -what will make me enjoy watching this?” When instinct meets uncertainty Casting, Mahajan says, is like the HR department of the movie business where getting the right person for the role sets the tone of the film. But she is also finds it to be one of the most unpredictable aspects of filmmaking. “The only certainty about casting or filmmaking is uncertainty. Plan B is equally important for any technician.” While the right actor may seem obvious on paper, real-world factors can change everything- chemistry between performers, schedules, budgets and timing. “Even after clearing all this, if your timing is not correct, then you have to move to Plan B.” Unlike corporate hiring, casting has no fixed formula. “There is nothing by the book in this. This is my resume, this is my work experience and I am deserving- there is nothing like deserving in casting. You have to show up. You have to deliver each day. And you have to be honest with your craft.” Breaking stereotypes on screen As the industry evolves, Mahajan believes storytelling is becoming more mindful- particularly when it comes to female characters. “Earlier when women were cast they would only sing, dance, do item numbers or run around the trees. But now there are stories that are being created only for women.” She credits audiences for driving that change. “Their appetite and exposure has gotten so much better that they do not want the run-of-the-mill. The audience has become very smart.” Mahajan also points to a shift in how established actresses approach their careers today. “Now they are not looking at themselves as just heroines. They take themselves as actresses. As actors.” She compares the change to Hollywood, where performers prioritise compelling roles over traditional star images. “When you see a Meryl Streep every time she comes out with a subject or a movie you don't see Meryl Streep, you see the character.” That openness, she believes, is encouraging filmmakers to experiment. “Casting has changed. Storytelling has changed. It's giving us opportunities to experiment and think out of the box.” Does social media followers matter for casting directors? Mahajan believes that in today’s industry, talent ultimately outweighs visibility. “Not anymore. Talent matters and how honest you are to your craft and how passionate you are,” she says, adding that while social media popularity might sometimes open doors, it cannot sustain a career. “Even if you might get a role because of some social media presence or following, you can't sustain for too long. To be in the game and to get longevity, you have to have talent. There is no shortcut.” Mahajan emphasises that audiences today are far more discerning. “You can't fool the audience anymore. They are very smart. They know what they want.” Her advice to aspiring actors is simple: “Focus on your craft. Invest in your craft, more important is to get your inner depth.” She also stresses originality and resilience, noting that the journey can be difficult and solitary, making a strong support system and mental well-being crucial.
08 March,2026 11:56 AM IST | Mumbai | Athulya NambiarA laugh riot is exactly what cinemas need, and producer Firoz A Nadiadwallah seems ready to deliver just that. His upcoming film Welcome to the Jungle — the third instalment in the Welcome franchise — is scheduled to hit theatres on June 26. While the multi-starrer is nearing completion, with just one song left to shoot, the producer has already begun work on the fourth instalment. Paresh Rawal as Dr Ghungroo, Nana Patekar as Uday Shetty and Anil Kapoor as Majnu Bhai What’s more exciting is that the characters Uday Shetty, Majnu Bhai, and Dr Ghungroo — crowd favourites since Welcome (2007) and Welcome Back (2015) — will return in the fourth edition. “Firoz and his team of writers have been writing the script for Welcome 4. It is in the advanced stages now,” informs a source close to the production, which will see the return of Nana Patekar, Anil Kapoor, and Paresh Rawal. Interestingly, Rawal will also feature in Welcome to the Jungle, but “he [will not] play Dr Ghungroo but a different character.” The source adds, “The scripting of Welcome 4 is being done in such a way that these three characters will be woven organically into the plot. The story will be completely different.” In the earlier editions, the late actor Feroz Khan and Naseeruddin Shah played the antagonists. The source shares that for the fourth film, the makers are keen to introduce new villains. “Welcome 4 will have more than one lovable don who are more known for their comic capers and timing than their underworld deeds. Top leading actors are in talks for these roles. It comes under the family universe which includes humour, glamour, and action,” says the source.
08 March,2026 10:31 AM IST | Mumbai | Upala KBRThe conversations around the roles and stances of women in the Indian film industry have constantly been evolving. On the occasion of International Women's Day 2026, who better than an actress who has evolved in the industry with grace and dignity? From rising to fame with a fun and comedic role like Jassi in Jassi Jaisi Koi Nahi, to a gritty and fierce mafia in Subedaar, Mona Singh has, over the years, grown with the industry. mid-day got in touch with the actress to know how the industry has evolved over the years when it comes to women-led narratives. Mona Singh says women characters have more depth now Mona shares that there has been a very encouraging shift over the years. "Today, women characters are written with much more depth, individuality and strength. They are not just supporting the story but often driving it forward. As an actor, it feels wonderful to see stories that celebrate the resilience, ambition and emotional strength of women," she shares. When asked about the ever-growing conversations around pay parity in the industry, Mona shares, "Over the years, the industry has evolved, and conversations around pay parity and fair opportunities have become stronger. It is encouraging to see more women-led narratives today across television, films and OTT. I believe the industry is gradually moving in a positive direction where talent and contribution are being valued more." Addressing the agesim debate around her portrayal of Aamir Khan's mother in Laal Singh Chadha, Mona reveals that her focus has always been the story and the character. "When I heard the narration of the role in Laal Singh Chadha, I was deeply moved by the emotional journey of the character. Acting is about transformation and stepping into lives that are very different from your own. I believe audiences today appreciate honest performances and meaningful characters more than anything else," she adds. Mona Singh would like to explore production Further talking about the rise of women into leadership roles as producers, filmmakers and creators today, she calls it 'inspiring.' "Their perspectives bring new and important voices to storytelling. The more diverse voices we have behind the camera, the richer our stories become," she adds. Further asked if she ever plans to step into direction or production in future, "Production", Mona says, adding "because creating meaningful stories can be very fulfilling." "What has always empowered me is seeing strong women both in front of and behind the camera, supporting each other and creating stories that inspire audiences. On a day like Women’s Day, it is wonderful to celebrate that spirit," Mona concluded.
08 March,2026 10:13 AM IST | Mumbai | Amarylisa GonsalvesActor Sameera Reddy has increasingly used her voice to speak about motherhood, mental health and body positivity, building a supportive online community of women. Ahead of International Women’s Day, she reflects on parenting, the importance of education beyond academics, her decision to prioritise family over career, and why she believes true empowerment begins within the home. Sameera Reddy on motherhood and education The actress has been associated with P&G Shiksha, which strives to ‘Erase The Learning Gap’ with its current campaign. Speaking about the importance of education today, Reddy noted that parenting today is evolving rapidly. Rather than paying attention to scores on report cards, mothers are giving credence to educating kids about issues such as gender equality, bullying and mental health. She elaborates, “What our parents did not know or did not think was an issue, today for us it is. We are more politically correct. We are more aware when we speak about gender equality, whether it’s about bullying or trolling. In general, there is a certain awareness of doing the right thing at a very early age today.” View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sameera Reddy (@reddysameera) Motherhood, she says, also reshaped her professional choices and priorities. Reddy shared that she initially chose to step back from her career to focus on raising her children before gradually building a space for herself. Does she regret losing out on work? “I do sometimes question myself, but it is what it is.” Sameera Reddy on postpartum struggles The actress has also been vocal about the emotional struggles she experienced after becoming a mother. She recalled dealing with postpartum weight gain, loneliness and feelings of being judged. “I had postpartum weight gain, and I felt so alone and lonely. I felt judged, and my self-esteem took a big hit. Interestingly, when Nyra was born, I decided I’m not going to go through this again. In fact, I want to go out there and make sure that if somebody is going through this, I want to be there for them,” she said. While this journey propelled Sameera to initiate the ‘messy mama’ community, where she openly speaks about such issues, it also came with its fair share of struggles, with online trolling affecting her. She remarks, “It would be impossible for me to say that it didn’t bother me. But today, after five years, I am actually very neutral to it. That doesn’t change the fact that I am a good human being. So now trolling doesn’t bother me. In fact, it’s very rare on my page because my community of women is very safe and real.” With International Women’s Day approaching, Reddy believes the idea of empowerment should begin within families rather than being limited to online conversations. She explains, “Understand your mother better, your sister, your cousin, your mother-in-law — and empower these women. Because empowerment starts at home. And I honestly believe this.” Sameera Reddy on industry struggles Looking back at her early years in the film industry, Reddy also spoke about the stereotypes she faced regarding appearance and body image. “As an actor, as a woman, I always felt I had to be fairer. For some strange reason, everybody was always putting fairer makeup on me. So I had to do body makeup also, and that really bothered me. I was always made to feel I was never slim enough. I’m a very tall girl, so I was made to feel I was too tall and too big. Somewhere that stuck with me in the beginning. For years, my narrative as an actor was always about my size, when it should have been about talent, acting and many other things. Today I look back and I do not even know why I allowed that to happen, but that was the industry norm.” She added that she faced a different kind of skepticism when her social media journey began. “I was told, ‘You’re a mother, you’ve put on weight, you have grey hair. You can’t really get back into this line. People are not going to accept you.’ I took that not as a challenge but as, ‘Okay, I’m going to build my own space. If you like it, stay. If you don’t, please leave.’”
08 March,2026 09:01 AM IST | Mumbai | Aakruti BaglaAparshakti Khurana was sold on the script in his very first meeting with Saurabh Shukla, who approached the actor for his latest directorial, Jab Khuli Kitaab. Khurana tells mid-day that the process was quite an anomaly compared to what usually happens when a director narrates a script to an actor. “Normally, it is a process of 5-10 days. But in the very first meeting with sir, I said, ‘Count me in, I’m all yours.’ What he had written was so pure that no actor attached to the film had to think twice to say yes,” he shares. Aparshakti Khurana Khurana gushes about his director’s dedication to the film, which took almost a year and a half to make, with Shukla letting go of acting projects in the interim. “Kudos to him for taking [almost] two years out of his life to write and direct, and the post production [despite being a] busy actor. It’s a tedious process. It takes a lot to say no to those films and the money. I don’t know many actors who have been able to do that,” he said. On set, the actor had a blast being directed by Shukla, but the cherry on top was sharing screen space with veteran actors Pankaj Kapur and Dimple Kapadia, who play the protagonists in the ZEE5 mature love story. “These two people are legends. [However], Saurabh sir created an environment that everybody was equal on set. Once you reach the set, you are Advocate Negi and not Aparashakti. You only see Gopalji (Kapur) and Anusuya (Kapadia), not them. And, in the film, they need my services more. So, I think, I did have an upper hand there,” he laughs, before adding, “It’s amazing to walk hand in hand with so many people. I think in the chaos of all the maar-dhaar happening in the big films, this simplicity was required both for an actor and audience.”
08 March,2026 08:34 AM IST | Mumbai | Priyanka SharmaWe often see how the cinema has evolved when it comes to the treatment and portrayal of women on screen. But what goes on behind the lens in the industry largely remains unknown or neglected. On International Women's Day 2026, mid-day spoke to Amita Madhvani, CEO and co-founder of Ram Madhvani Films, Equinox Films and Equinox Virtual, to understand the role of women off the screens. Excerpts from the interview... Amita Mdhvani on evolving roles of women in the industry When asked about the lack of women in roles like direction and production, she shares, "I feel that if you want to achieve something, you rise with the challenges, prepare yourself, and then all doors open. The important thing is the first step that any creator takes, and then learns the business operations that they are integral to creating together as a team." Sharing her personal experience, she added, "On a personal level, I’ve been fortunate. Growing up with two siblings, a sister and a brother, there was never any comparison or differentiation at home. We were supported equally and encouraged to pursue our ambitions with confidence. That kind of upbringing shapes how you enter the world. You don’t see limitations, you see possibilities." "Professionally too, I’ve witnessed encouraging progress. Across our various projects, we’ve worked with women DoPs and seen more women stepping into key crew roles from cinematography to production, makeup, and hair. The presence of women across departments on set is far more visible today than it was years ago. Times are definitely changing, when women are given equal encouragement, opportunity, and trust both personally and professionally, leadership becomes a natural outcome," she added. Talking of challenges as a woman in a world that's largely considered a man's world, she said, "When I joined Equinox as an intern, I was the only woman at the time. Yet, I never experienced any difference in how work or responsibilities were delegated; it was always equal, performance-driven, and purely merit-based. Roles were defined by capability, not by gender, and that early experience gave me immense confidence in the system." She went on to add, "Today, as the CEO and Co-Founder of Ram Madhvani Films, Equinox Films, and Equinox Virtual, I’m proud to lead organisations where women hold significant roles across departments from producers and DoPs to key creative and admin positions. Their presence isn’t symbolic; it’s the natural outcome of a culture built on capability, trust, and performance. I truly believe that when you are confident in what you do and consistently give your best, bias slowly fades away. Over time, good work speaks for itself and naturally earns respect and authority." Amita Madhvani on topics on pay parity and working hours in the industry She also discussed the ongoing discussions around pay parity and work-life balance in the industry. Talking of pay parity, she says that it is indeed an important conversation in our industry, but "it is one that can be addressed effectively when systems are transparent and structured. At our organisation, we have always focused on evaluating people based on their skills and contributions, rather than on gender. I feel speaking what is needed and walking the talk creates a healthy work environment." Further addressing the work-life balance debate, the producer believes, "industries evolve when they become more structured and mindful of people’s realities. The creative field can be demanding, but that makes planning and discipline even more essential." She shares how she has personally worked towards it, saying, "From the early days of building our production ecosystem, we have prioritised careful pre-production, including detailed schedules, clear activity plans, and organised call sheets to prevent delays. Our experience with advertising projects under Equinox Films reinforced the importance of planning and staying organised well in advance. I also believe professionalism is a two-way street when actors, producers, and crew respect each other’s time and set clear expectations from the start, the entire process runs much more smoothly. With proper planning and coordination, even the most demanding projects can be executed efficiently, without unnecessary delays."
