I was with my dad on tour, which is a rarity to get so much one-on-one time with him. Me and him got a flight to Kolkata, then a 5 and a half hour drive to his home town." 'We arrived, went on a barge down the river, which was stunning, then got a scooty back to the studio where we finished the song. Arijit taught me Punjabi and how to pronounce it all properly, and showed me Sitar. We then had dinner, and scooted around the village to see the sunset and moon with my dad. Was a proper core memory I'll always cherish with my father, and I'm honoured to have created in this way with Arijit," the singer mentioned. 'He's one of the most talented humans I've ever met, and I'm so grateful he shared his talent with me for this song. The full Punjabi version we recorded will be out in a couple of weeks, but until then, I'll be drip-feeding fun videos from our time together," Ed Sheeran concluded. First Published:

Thank you for the love and laughs! Here's a little behind-the-scenes joy from rehearsals," Akshay captioned the clip. Fans flooded the comments section with praise. 'Sir ji, you always slaying," wrote one user. Another added, 'Khiladi is back!" Some viewers celebrated his return to mainstream comedy, with a fan writing, 'So happy for your comeback. Housefull 5 proved that audiences want to see you in commercial films more than content-driven drama." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Akshay Kumar (@akshaykumar) However, not all reactions were glowing. Several social media users expressed disappointment with the film's content. Critics and viewers alike have called out Housefull 5 for its double-meaning jokes, objectification of women, and what they described as an outdated sense of humor.

The film opened to an impressive Rs 24 crore on Day 1—outpacing both the previous instalment's debut and Akshay's recent releases like Sky Force and Kesari Chapter 2. The upward trend continued, with the second day pulling in Rs 31 crore, taking the film's domestic total to Rs 55 crore within the first two days alone. While critics may remain divided, there's no denying the commercial appeal of the franchise and Akshay's draw among mass audiences. First Published:

Is Amol Parashar also waiting for 'right time' like Vicky Kaushal to make rumored relationship with Konkona Sensharma official?
Actors Konkona Sensharma and Amol Parashar are rumored to be dating for quite some time now. Though the duo never confirmed their relationship, they were seen sharing a hug and posing together at the screening of Gram Chikitsalay. Now, Amol opened up on the relationship for the very first time and shared how Vicky Kaushal was stuck in a similar situation while dating Katrina Kaif. In a recent conversation with Hindustan Times, Amol Parashar opened up on relationship rumors with Konkona Sensharma and shared that everyone began assuming that they were dating but nobody came and asked him. However, he added that he doesn't get affected and has moved on from the rumors. He also emphasized that if anything such ever happens, he'll be the one to share it on social media himself. The Gram Chikitsalay actor shared his perspective on relationships, saying that closeness varies from person to person and not every bond needs a label. He added that what truly matters to him is mutual happiness, both partners and their families being content. Amol also reflected on a similar past moment during the shoot of Sardar Udham, when rumors of Vicky Kaushal dating Katrina Kaif were doing the rounds on social media. He shared, 'I remember something similar happening with Vicky, and I was like: 'Bhai, bata do sabko because people are asking me'. And he was like: 'I will, at the right time',' Amol Parashar also finds it amusing that his personal life attracts more buzz than his professional life. He jokes that no matter how much acting he does, it's always the link-up rumors that grab the spotlight. The actor further opened up about his thoughts on marriage and shared that while his mother used to 'pressurize' him initially, she has eased off lately. He shared that anything can happen, and he enjoys keeping life unpredictable, something his family is well aware of. If and when he does tie the knot, he joked that it'll be Instagram official, since that's what seems to matter most these days. For now, though, he has nothing new to share on that front.
