Deepika Padukone and Siddhant Chaturvedi starrer 'Gehraiyaaan' received a lot of praise after its release. The film was released in 2022. However, the intimate scene of Deepika-Siddhanta in the movie was talk of the town.
Directed by Shakun Batra, 'Gehraiyaaan' explored complex themes of relationships, infidelity, and ambition. However, shooting for the film was not an easy journey for Siddhant in particular.
In a recent interview, Siddhant recalled panicking while shooting an intimate scene with Deepika. The situation became so strained for him that both his father and producer Karan Johar had to intervene. In an interview with Filmfare, Siddhant recalled, ''I remember my dad spoke to me. He was like, 'Listen, in India, 99% of the people will do anything to have this opportunity. They won't even think about it for a second. What are you even thinking? Please be a man, be professional, this is your job'.''
"I was like, 'I don't know what to do'. He said, 'It doesn't matter. You are the one who will define things. Go do it if you want to be a good actor. You will never be anything special unless you don't redefine things','' he added. Siddhant's father then reminded the actor of the big opportunity that he'd been given. ''Siddhant, it's Dharma, it's Deepika Padukone, it's Shakun Batra, and you have got to do this,'' his father said.
The actor went on to explain that his shy personality was a roadblock for him. ''I have never made the first move ever in my life,'' he said. It was at this point that Karan Johar had to step in and knock some sense into him. Siddhant shared, ''Karan called me, and he was like, 'What's the problem?' And I told him everything. He was like, 'Dude, you are a professional, and just behave like one. This is your job'.''

Has Hardik Pandya moved on from Natasa Stankovic after separation?
Hardik Pandya's year thus far has been dotted with incredibly high highs and equally low lows. Case in point is his smashing performance which was seminal in leading India to a T20 World Cup victory, shrouded by speculations and eventual confirmation of his split from wife of 4 years, Natasa Stankovic.
Shortly before the official announcement, Hardik was seen attending all the Ambani wedding festivities, solo. His days of gloom, however, seem to be over. Has he found love again? The internet surely thinks so.
What started the rumor?
For context, Hardik is currently vacationing in Mykonos, Greece. Also present there, is singer Jasmin Walia. While this in itself doesn't mean much, internet sleuths have sniffed out that Hardik and Jasmin may just be vacationing together.
Jasmin has Indian roots
Jasmin does have Indian roots though she is entirely UK-bred. Born in Essex, England, Jasmin's first dabble with fame came with her stint in the British reality television show The Only Way Is Essex back in 2010. Within 2 years she was promoted from being an extra to a full-time cast member. She used her time in the spotlight to establish herself as an internet personality, something which eventually boosted her pursuits in music.
April 2016 marked the release of her first official single, Dum Dee Dee Dum. This was followed by her second and third singles Girl Like Me and Temple. Next came Get Down, followed by her breakout track, Bom Diggy. Incidentally, Jasmin has collaborated with Zac across all her singles. Also part of her lineup is the Asim Riaz song Nights n Fights.
Besides her music career, Jasmin also has some experience in theatre. In 2020, she became the first British Indian female singer to be featured on the Times Square Billboard for her single Want Some.
Jasmin isn't the first woman Hardik has been linked with
The Ambani wedding bash saw several celebrities let their hair down, decked out in their finest. Hardik for one, consistently made headlines for very evidently being the life of the party. Matching him step for step — literally — was Ananya Panday.
This clip is from Anant Ambani's info, where the two can be seen having a gala time. Their chemistry had the internet losing their minds speculating if something was brewing between them. Neither has addressed the rumors publicly.
Looking for Arafat, he stole the seat I won: Hero Alom
The controversial content creator Hero Alom is looking for the rival of the 2023 by-election in the Dhaka-17 constituency, former Minister of State for Information Mohammad Ali Arafat. Being a candidate, miscreants beat him up on the street. Arafat won that seat as a candidate of the Awami League and became the state minister.
Alam claimed that those who attacked him that day were Mohammad Ali Arafat's men. He said, 'You have seen that I visited the polling station of Banani Bidyaniketan school and college of Dhaka-17. There, some people wanted to kill me on the orders of State Minister Arafat. Even the police on duty did not stand by me. Somehow I came back alive. I still haven't got that justice. Now I am looking for Arafat, if I find him I will file a case against him. He stole the seat I won.'

Ustad Mihir Lala Saha passes away
Ustad Mihir Lala Saha, vocalist and classical musician of Swadhin Bangla Betar Kendra, has passed away. He died today (August 17) at his home. He was 84 at the time of his death.
The news of Mihir Lala's death was confirmed by his wife Nazrul Sangeet singer Jayanti Lala in a media of the country.
It is known that Mihir Lala was under treatment in a private hospital in Chattogram for 17 consecutive days. Although he is not fully recovered, he was taken home on the advice of the doctor on August 8.
Mihir Lala was born in Cox's Bazar in 1941. However, he grew up in Popadia village, Kanungopara, Boalkhali, Chattogram. His father is lawyer Chandra Binod Lala and mother Kuldabala Lala. Mihir Lala was the third among eight siblings.
He was also involved in the great independence war of Bangladesh as a vocal soldier of Swadhin Bangla Betar Kendra. In 2018, he was awarded the National Art Academy Medal.
Bridgerton Season 4 Officially Found its Romantic Heroine
Mere months after Polin finally found their happy ending, Bridgerton Season 4 has already set its sights on its leading man: and it’s none other than Luke Thompson’s charming and artistic Benedict.
Netflix made the announcement of Season 4 with a video that spliced together some of the second-eldest Bridgerton brother’s best moments to date, before we see Thompson, dressed casually with a script in hand, opening the door of his hotel room. “I hear we’re fitting you for a suit,” he’s told. “It’s for the masquerade ball.” He grins in response.
Per the logline, “the fourth season of Bridgerton turns its focus to bohemian second son Benedict… Despite his elder and younger brothers both being happily married, Benedict is loath to settle down – until he meets a captivating Lady in Silver at his mother’s masquerade ball.”
Spearheaded by showrunner Jess Brownell and executive producer Shonda Rhimes, the upcoming eight-part installment will be based on the third book in Julia Quinn’s Bridgerton series, An Offer From a Gentleman. (Fans had previously assumed that season three would center on Benedict’s romance, but Penelope and Colin’s love story from the fourth novel, Romancing Mr Bridgerton, was brought forward instead.) In the book, Benedict falls for Sophie Beckett, the daughter of an earl who’s been hidden away from the Ton and forced to work as a housemaid by her spiteful stepmother. After Sophie sneaks into Lady Bridgerton’s annual masquerade ball, she and Benedict have a Cinderella-meets-Romeo-&-Juliet moment, with Benedict enchanted by the masked beauty. When she later flees, he vows to track her down by any means possible. Lacing herself into a corset to play Sophie: Australian actor Yerin Ha, who’s previously appeared in the Paramount+ adaptation of Halo and will star in HBO’s Dune prequel series, Dune: Prophecy, later this year.
“Benedict has always been a little lost – or free depending on the way you want to look at it,” Thompson told the streamer, following the news. “But now he’s trying to find something a bit more solid in himself. His identity has been a little bit of a question mark, but it doesn’t ever seem to really bother him. It often feels like… ‘You’re either this, or you’re this.’ He’s finding it out.” Brownell concurs, adding, “Season three puts him in a place where he’s really exploring more sides of himself. I think he feels things very deeply. It felt important for him to explore the fullness of himself before he settles down. He is someone who has big appetites, and we wanted to see him living a big life before he goes into settle-down mode. I’m excited for where we’re going with him in season four.”
As more plot and casting details emerge over the coming weeks and months, watch this space – and consider just how much we have to look forward to, from this ravishing central romance to the birth of Kate and Anthony’s first child, Penelope and Colin’s wedded bliss, Eloise’s adventures in Scotland and Francesca’s plot line. We can hardly wait.
