The clip has gone viral on the subreddit, gaining more than 2.8K likes. 'This was a heavily promoted bit and was used massively for creating buzz pre-release. And regarding Kitto, she pretty much overshadowed Kareena's pre-release buzz for the film. By this small appearance. Kitto was all media was talking about. A similar thing happened in Agneepath. I felt honrah tha ki kitto heroine hai movie ki. Like, say, 'Agneepath heroine'—the first name that comes in mind this day is Kitto…' Read one comment.

Who Exactly Is Shera?
Born Gurmeet Singh Jolly on May 19, 1969, Shera is more than just Salman Khan's loyal protector—he's a figure deeply embedded in the
Bollywood security
ecosystem. A former competitive bodybuilder, Shera clinched the Mumbai Junior Bodybuilding title in 1987 and came second in the Mr. Maharashtra Junior contest in 1988.
From Bodybuilding to Bollywood
Shera transitioned into the security field in the early 1990s, joining the team at Wizcraft International. His job involved safeguarding Bollywood celebrities at various high-profile events. In 1995, he first crossed paths with Salman Khan during a party for Hollywood actor Keanu Reeves. Following a chaotic incident during a show in Chandigarh, Sohail Khan—Salman's younger brother—recruited Shera to serve as Salman's permanent bodyguard. Since then, he has remained by Salman's side, accompanying him on worldwide tours and managing his security at all times.
Beyond the Security Detail
Shera isn't just confined to the shadows anymore. In 2017, he was entrusted with handling the security for global pop sensation Justin Bieber during his India tour. Moreover, in October 2019, Shera took a plunge into the political arena by joining the Shiv Sena, one of Maharashtra's major political parties. Despite his evolving public profile, his unwavering loyalty to Salman Khan has remained a constant.
A Life of Luxury and Loyalty
In 2024, Shera made headlines again, not for his security duties or celebrity connections, but for splurging on a brand-new Range Rover Sport, priced at a jaw-dropping ₹1.4 crore. Though now an established personality in his own right, Shera continues to stand as a pillar of protection and loyalty in Salman Khan's life.

Terence Stamp, actor known for 'Superman' villain General Zod, dies at 87: Inside his personal life with 35-year younger Elizabeth O'Rourke

Legendary British actor Terence Stamp , famously known for his unforgettable role as General Zod in Superman and Superman II, has passed away. His family announced the death of the actor on August 17, with a statement that said, 'He leaves behind an extraordinary body of work, both as an actor and as a writer, that will continue to touch and inspire people for years to come. ' He was 87. Born in London in 1938, Stamp rose from humble beginnings to become a style icon and dramatic powerhouse. Stamp's career spanned six decades, earning accolades for work in Billy Budd, Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, and beyond. However, apart from his decorated acting career, Stamp's personal life, too, attracted significant attention, thanks to his whirlwind romance and a brief marriage to Elizabeth O'Rourke. An unusual romance and a brief marriage: Elizabeth O'Rourke Terence Stamp met Elizabeth O'Rourke while visiting a Bondi pharmacy in the mid-1990s. Back then, O'Rourke was an Australian pharmacy student at a chemist shop in Bondi, New South Wales. On New Year's Eve 2002, Stamp married for the first and only time at age 64, to O'Rourke. What drew attention to his marriage in his 60s was the bride's age; O'Rourke was just 29! Their 35-year age gap drew attention, but the actor's charm and persistence prevailed, and they married in a private ceremony. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo However, the marriage was short-lived and ended only six years later. O'Rourke filed for divorce in April 2008, citing Stamp's 'unreasonable behaviour.' According to reports, Stamp did not contest the claim. In later reflections, Stamp fondly remembered their time together, calling it 'incredible fun.' The couple had no children, but Stamp often spoke lovingly of his nieces' children, describing his bond with them as akin to that of a grandfather. Terence Stamp: The life, the career, and the legacy Born in 1938, in Stepney, East London, Terence Henry Stamp grew up during the Blitz as the eldest of five children to a tugboat stoker father and a homemaker mother. He earned a scholarship to the Webber Douglas Academy of Dramatic Art, launching his dramatic career on stage. His film debut came in Billy Budd (1962), earning him an Academy Award nomination and a Golden Globe for Most Promising Newcomer. Stamp became a cultural figure of the Swinging Sixties, linked romantically with model Jean Shrimpton and actress Julie Christie. He even inspired The Kinks' hit 'Waterloo Sunset' for his brief relationship with Christie. After a slower period in the 1970s, Stamp's career rebounded in a spiritual way. He spent time in India embracing yoga philosophy, an internal transformation that helped him reimagine himself as a character actor willing to take bold roles. General Zod and beyond: Crafting iconic villains with nuance Stamp will forever be remembered for bringing depth, charisma, and menace to General Zod in Superman (1978) and Superman II (1980). This portrayal reshaped how villains were depicted in superhero films. Stamp wasn't just an action star. Beyond Zod, the 'master of the brooding silence' demonstrated his emotional range as Bernadette Bassenger, a trans woman, in the cult classic The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert (1994). The role earned him BAFTA and Golden Globe nominations. His filmography spans decades and genres. His later career included acclaimed performances in films like The Limey (1999), earning an Independent Spirit Award nomination, and memorable roles in Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, Valkyrie, Last Night in Soho, and more.

Exclusive - Sudesh Berry's son Suraj Berry: I feel the pull back to where my heart truly belongs, acting

Suraj Berry, son of veteran actor Sudesh Berry , known for films like Border, Sanam Teri Kasam, Army and television shows such as Shakti: Astitva Ke Ehsaas Ki and Suraag: The Clue, is ready to step foot back in the world of acting after years away from the industry. 'Born in Mumbai, I was always a shy child. I completed my schooling at Arya Vidya Mandir and graduated from Mithibai College. My father was extremely busy during my growing-up years, and though I missed spending quality time with him, I never blamed him. He was one of the most sought-after personalities in the 90s, working back-to-back and earning immense love and respect wherever he went,' he says. He adds that he was always drawn towards the world of acting. 'From a very young age, I was fascinated by acting, especially after seeing the warmth and admiration my father received. I made my debut in a film called The Little Godfather, jointly produced by Ekta Kapoor and Suniel Shetty, based on the 7/11 Mumbai train bomb blasts. Unfortunately, even after completing more than 90% of the shoot, the film was shelved for reasons unknown. This was heartbreaking for me. Even after that, I signed 2–3 more films, but those too never made it to completion,' he says. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Could This NEW Collagen Blend Finally Reduce Your Cellulite?

'Disheartened, I moved to Australia, where I completed my Master's in Professional Accounting and also pursued an acting course to hone my craft. For the past 3–4 years, I've been working as a Prison Officer in a maximum-security prison in Australia, a job full of real-life drama and human stories,' he says. However, he is ready to be back on screen now. 'Now, I feel the pull back to where my heart truly belongs, acting. I'm currently auditioning for various projects across TV, OTT, and films, trusting my instincts to guide me toward the right opportunities.'
