A popular face in
Indian television
,
Pooja Banerjee
is gearing up to embrace motherhood for the second time.
Talking exclusively to IANS, Pooja shared that she is enjoying a different kind of motherhood for the second time.
Asked about her
second pregnancy
, she told IANS, "It feels that 24 hours is less this time. My hands are so full this time even when I'm not in Mumbai or I'm not working as an actress but the time literally flies. I'm so busy with Sana, her schedule, and my Studio work that I literally think where does my time go? It does get a little tiring after a point since I had extensive traveling in this pregnancy. Yet I'm enjoying a different kind of motherhood for the second time and I'm looking forward to telling stories to my kids."
Pooja revealed that she always wanted to give her firstborn a sibling as she believes that it's the biggest gift you can give a child. "Thankfully Sandeep (husband) was also on the same page. I've grown up with two brothers so I know the life with a sibling.", she stated.
Pooja was also asked when she is expected to return to the screen post-delivery. Reacting to this, she disclosed, "Of course. It all depends upon my health and my kid's needs. I wouldn't want to exert myself. So I'll take it easy and see what kind of opportunities come my way."
Sharing what it has been like shifting to New Delhi, the actress revealed, "It's different than Mumbai obviously. It's a joint family here so lots of family members take care of the kids and their always a different kind of celebrations happening. But more than anything else, you like the fact that there is more space in here than in Mumbai."
Spilling the beans about her plans to
return to Mumbai
, Pooja said, "I do miss Mumbai but it's more like I do miss being in front of the camera and acting. I don't really miss the traffic, the hustle, or the congestion. I'm actually in a happy space that I'm getting a larger space for my child to grow, play, and learn."

While the thought of interacting with a superstar made him nervous initially, the director revealed that all anxiety faded once the conversation began. What was meant to be a brief discussion stretched into an eight-hour exchange that spanned both breakfast and lunch.

To his surprise, the actor's team had already reached out with interest, making the opportunity all the more serendipitous.

Before Amitabh Bachchan, Rekha was madly in love with THIS actor, used to stare at him for hours, his name was…, not Jeetendra, Sanjay Dutt, Vinod Mehra, Akshay Kumar
Before Amitabh Bachchan, Rekha was madly in love with THIS actor, used to stare at him for hours, his name was…, not Jeetendra, Sanjay Dutt, Vinod Mehra, Akshay Kumar Rekha is considered one of the most evergreen actresses in the Indian film industry. With a career spanned over five decades, she has effortlessly adapted each role to deliver her best performances. Some of her most memorable films include Kalyug, Vijeta, Utsav, Umrao Jaan, Khoon Bhari Maang, Khiladiyon Ka Khiladi, Dharma and others. Apart from work, Rekha also garnered spotlight in the past due to her romantic relationships. Daughter of actress Pushpavalli, Rekha revealed in one of her interviews that she was never interested in acting, and only entered this profession to save her family from financial crisis. She believed after working for 10 years, she took acting as a profession quite seriously. Rekha, who established herself as one of the most finest actresses faced several heartbreaks in the past. Her name was linked with many Bollywood actors including Kiran Kumar, Jeetendra, Amitabh Bachchan, Vinod Mehra, Sanjay Dutt and Akshay Kumar. Her love affair with Big B drew massive attention and became one of the most talked about topics at that time. However, did you know before Amitabh, there was another person whom Rekha was in love with? The person we are referring to was Sajid Khan, adopted son of Mehboob Khan. He made his film debut in Khan's Mother India as Young Birju, a role that garnered him immense recognition. He went to London to complete his education, and became highly-qualified following his graduation. Sajid first met Rekha during the filming of Umrao Jaan . According to reports, Rekha used to stare him for hours, and fell for him then and there. Following that, the duo collaborated in several Bollywood movies. After Mother India, Sajid starred in several movies, some of which were in English. For a few years, Rekha and Sajid were in the limelight as a couple before breaking up. According to reports, Sajid found new love and moved on, and Rekha too left things behind and went ahead. In 2023, Sajid passed away at the age of 70 while battling cancer.

Honey Singh BREAKS Silence On Badshah's Viral Dua Lipa Comment, Calls Him 'Genius'
Last Updated: Yo Yo Honey Singh mocks Badshah's controversial 'make babies with Dua Lipa' comment with a sarcastic 'Genius' post, reigniting their decade-old rivalry. Amid the ongoing backlash surrounding rapper Badshah's controversial comment about British singer Dua Lipa, Honey Singh has chimed in — and his reaction is as loaded as it is brief. Responding to Badshah's public justification for his much-criticized statement, Honey Singh posted a one-word response on social media: 'Genius" — complete with laughing and clapping emojis. The post, which quickly went viral, is being widely interpreted as a sarcastic dig at his longtime rival, reigniting chatter about the two rap titans' famously fractured relationship. The moment in question began when Badshah, also known as Aditya Pratik Singh Sisodia, responded to a fan's question on X (formerly Twitter) about whether he'd rather collaborate with Dua Lipa or have kids with her. His blunt reply — 'Rather have babies with her" — drew swift criticism online, with many calling the comment 'cheap," 'objectifying," and 'just plain weird." Trying to do damage control, Badshah the next day defended his remark, calling it 'one of the most beautiful compliments you could give a woman you admire." He added, 'Meri soch nahi, tumhari soch saamne aayi hai," attempting to flip the controversy back on critics. But his 'clarification" only drew more heat — with social media users calling it 'delusional," 'a PR fail," and 'an even worse look than the original comment." I think one of the most beautiful compliments that you could give to a woman that you really admire is to wish for her to mother your children. Meri soch nahi tumhari soch saamne aayi hai.— BADSHAH (@Its_Badshah) June 7, 2025 Enter Honey Singh. Never one to shy away from subtle shade, the Desi Kalakaar singer dropped his 'Genius" comment on a post discussing Badshah's explanation. And while he didn't mention his former bandmate by name, the timing and context made his target unmistakably clear. For fans who've followed the long-running tension between the two, it was classic Yo Yo: cheeky, savage, and just cryptic enough to avoid being called out directly. Badshah and Honey Singh, once part of the same hip-hop crew Mafia Mundeer, have shared a decade-long love-hate relationship. Their creative fallout led to one of Indian music's most talked-about feuds — a cold war filled with diss lyrics, interview shade, and barely concealed one-upmanship. While both artists built massive solo careers post-split, their paths remained intertwined through constant comparison and occasional shots fired on social media. Last year, Badshah made headlines for seemingly putting the rivalry to rest. During his GraFest 2024 concert in Dehradun, he publicly acknowledged Honey Singh on stage, saying it was time for the industry to move beyond old grudges. The gesture was seen by many as a long-overdue truce. As for Dua Lipa, the British singer has yet to comment on the exchange — and given the scale of her global fame, she may never feel the need to. But for Badshah, the backlash at home continues to simmer, serving as a reminder that in the age of the internet, no 'joke" goes unchecked — especially when it comes at the expense of someone else.
