As India celebrates its 77th Independence Day today, from common men to celebrities, everyone has wished for the best and brightest future for the country. Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan and his family members hoisted the tricolour at his house, Mannat, in Mumbai.
Sharing glimpses of the celebration, King Khan said, “Now the little one has made it a tradition. Hoisting our beloved tricolour and wishing everyone a happy Independence Day. Love to all, and may our country, India, prosper and all of us with it.” Notably, in the picture, Shah Rukh can be seen along with his wife Gauri and youngest kid, AbRam.

He updated his X (previously Twitter) profile picture with the tricolour, supporting the movement that urges citizens to showcase the Indian flag on their social media profiles and hoist the national flag at their homes.
Shah Rukh is set to rock the silver screen with his upcoming films

‘I was asked to sleep with…’ – Ankita Lokhande recalls horrific casting couch experience
In an interview with Hauterrfly, popular TV show actress Ankita Lokhande talked about her casting couch experience. While she now has been in the industry for quite some time, there was once a time she was one of the struggling artists.
Without revealing the name, she recalls that it occurred when she was just 19 and looking to make a name for herself. She revealed that after an audition for a south film, she received a call asking her to come sign up for the role.
At first, Ankita was very happy to hear the news and even told her mother that she was going to get the role. However, she also wondered how she was able to get the role so easily.
“When I reached there, my coordinator was told to remain outside, and she was called inside the room alone. I was told that I have to compromise,” she said.
At the time, Ankita revealed she was in the phase of “heroine banna hai (I want to become an actress)”. When asked what kind of compromise? She was told to sleep with the producer to get the role. “The reply came straight cut, ‘Apko producer ke sath sona padega’,” she said.
Strong will and self-respect
Finally getting to know why she was called for the role so quickly, Ankita responded to the offer. She said, “I don’t think your producer needs talent; he just needs a girl to sleep with, and I am not that one, and I just walked off.”
Later on, Ankita rose to fame after getting a role in a popular Indian television series in 2009 called ‘Pavitra Rishta’. The show also featured Sushant Singh Rajput and became an instant hit, running for years before coming to a close.
The show further helped in exposing her talent to the country, opening many more opportunities. She also appeared in many more TV series and reality shows like Bigg Boss S17. She is set to make an appearance in an upcoming film called ‘Swatantra Veer Savarkar’.

‘Two Timer’ – Bigg Boss star Anurag Dobhal takes an indirect dig at Munawar Faruqui, faces criticism
Anurag Dobhal, the contestant who made an early exit from Bigg Boss 17, has stirred up controversy with his recent comments. In a candid vlog on his YouTube channel, he didn’t mince his words while expressing his dissatisfaction with the show. He also targeted this season’s winner, Munawar Faruqui.
Seated in a luxurious McLaren in a Dubai showroom, Dobhal launched into a critique of Bigg Boss 17. He humorously belittled the show’s prize money, suggesting it could only afford two McLaren tyres, considering he recently purchased a Lamborghini worth ₹5 crore in India. The season’s prize money stood at ₹50 lakh. Dobhal further claimed that he and his friend had donated more money than the entire prize pool of the show.
Dobhal’s criticism didn’t stop at the show itself; he aimed his disapproval at Munawar Faruqui, the season’s winner. Without directly naming him, Dobhal advised against ‘two-timing’ women, especially those who are married or have children.
Munawar’s dating escapades with multiple women were exposed during the reality show. It also impacted his public image. Dobhal juxtaposed this revelation with his ownership of a Lamborghini, emphasising the stark difference in their lifestyles.
‘Papa Kehte hai’: Anurag Dobhal targets Munawar Faruqui
Earlier on social media, Dobhal indirectly targeted Munawar, accusing him of defaming girls. He wrote, “Father used to say that his son will make his name big, but the son will defame stand-up comedy and girls in the name of religion and two timings.”
Reflecting on his Bigg Boss 17 experience, Dobhal recounted a particularly distressing incident known as the ‘walk of shame’ during an interview with Siddharth Kannan. He disclosed that he was emotionally affected by the activity, where he was made to feel ashamed by other contestants for supposedly disrespecting the show.
Anurag Dobhal’s bold and critical remarks have sparked conversations and reactions, shedding light on the dynamics and challenges faced by contestants beyond the Bigg Boss house.

Star Bollywood actress Rakul Preet Singh gets married to Jackky Bhagnani in an intimate ceremony
In a heartwarming event, Bollywood actors Rakul Preet Singh and Jackky Bhagnani tied the knot in a picturesque ceremony at the ITC Grand South Goa on February 21. Despite the absence of an official social media announcement from the couple, the event garnered attention as several Bollywood celebrities graced the occasion.
Shilpa Shetty, Raj Kundra, Varun Dhawan, and Bhumi Pednekar were among the stars who attended the celebration. The duo celebrated their love through two distinctive wedding ceremonies, embracing both Anand Karaj and a traditional Sindhi-style ritual, honouring their diverse cultural backgrounds.
The Anand Karaj ceremony unfolded in the afternoon, setting the stage for a day filled with cultural richness and romantic symbolism. Following this, the couple embarked on a Sindhi-style ceremony, marking a harmonious blend of their respective traditions. The choice of an early evening wedding reflected the couple’s intention to embark on their marital journey with brightness and cheerfulness.
Rakul Preet Singh’s ‘Chuddha’ ceremony, scheduled for the morning, marked a cultural prelude to the Saath Pheras, symbolizing the sacred vows exchanged during the wedding. The ITC Grand South Goa, chosen as the backdrop for the festivities, radiated an air of grandeur and elegance befitting the momentous occasion.
Rakul Preet Singh is set to throw an afterparty!
After the nuptials, Rakul and Jackky played gracious hosts at an after-party, extending their joy to close friends and family who joined the couple in celebrating this auspicious event. A source revealed that the after-party would be the culmination of the couple’s joyous union, filled with music, dance, and shared moments of happiness.
The pre-wedding festivities were equally vibrant, with Shilpa Shetty and Raj Kundra setting the stage ablaze at Rakul and Jackky’s sangeet ceremony. A video capturing their energetic dance to ‘Mundian To Bach Ke’ quickly went viral, showcasing the exuberant spirit of the event. Adding to the festivities, Varun Dhawan, a close friend of the couple, delivered a special performance at the sangeet, dancing to the timeless tune ‘Husn Hai Suhana’ from ‘Coolie No. 1.’
Rakul Preet Singh and Jackky Bhagnani’s journey from publicly declaring their relationship in October 2021 to exchanging vows in a dreamy Goan ceremony is a testament to their enduring love, celebrated amidst the warmth of family and friends.
