Ahaan Panday, Rasha Thadani, Ibrahim Ali Khan, Shanaya Kapoor: Who will win Best Debut award? Here's what fans think
Award functions might have a different list of winners. But audiences have made their choice on social media. Under a Reddit thread, when asked which newcomer should win the Best Debut award this year, many netizens agreed on Ahaan Panday being the most deserving of the lot. Chunky Panday's nephew, Ahaan won hearts with his impactful and raw performance in Mohit Suri's Saiyaara, setting pretty high standard for all boyfriends across the country. His chemistry with lead star Aneet Padda also became a major highlight. Meanwhile, fans feel Rasha Thadani or Aneet Padda could win the Best Debut Female award.
One social media user shared, 'Ahaan Panday, and it is not even close. I can't remember the last debutant whose acting was as polished as his. Just saw Saiyaara (finally) and people were cheering and clapping during the climax in a high-end multiplex. Rarely have I seen the first row full for a movie running in its third week. The craze is unreal,' whereas another comment read, 'Tbh Ahaan is the deserving one out of all, Guy really impressed me in the second half. I've hopes that he'll improve even more 🙌 And in Female I'm rooting for Aneet but it's possible ki they'll give it to Shanaya.' Another comment read, 'its very very obvious it'll be Ahaan. (He actually did a great job) As for female idk man probably rasha? (Because of her Uyi Amma😭),' whereas a netizen stated, 'Ahaan for sure. Others are not even in the competition. Rasha may win for female debut.'

Karisma Kapoor and Sunjay Kapoor tried to mend ways, camera followed them on ‘Patch-up trip', revealed Kareena Kapoor Khan
Ever since business tycoon Sunjay Kapoor took his last breath, there has been constant chatter about his broken marriage with Bollywood actress Karisma Kapoor. Married in a grand ceremony in 2003, Sunjay and Karisma started facing troubles just two years later. Their marital issues constantly made media headlines, and they were open to public scrutiny. It was Kareena Kapoor who then decided to step out and openly talk about how constant media attention is making things harder for the couple. Back in 2006, Kareena was shooting for Priyadarshan's movie in Chennai. In a candid conversation with Reddit, she addressed the marriage troubles between her sister and Sunjay. 'So much has been written about it. So many of our well-wishers had predicted doomsday for the marriage. But we knew it can be sorted out, and it was. Come on, which marriage doesn't have problems? But if the entire crisis is up for public debate, it naturally becomes harder to solve the tangle,' said Bebo. Kareena Kapoor Khan slammed constant media coverage of Karisma-Sunjay's marriage The actress revealed that the couple is making efforts to mend ways and even went for a patch-up holiday. Kareena Kapoor Khan conveyed her hope for the couple while slamming shutterbugs who even followed the couple on their holiday. She said, 'Of course it's going to work. My sister and Sanjay [Kapur] love each other. Sure, they had problems. But they were aggravated due to constant media attention. The prying became unbearable when cameras followed them to Goa, where they had gone for a patch-up holiday.' The actress even talked about how their daughter Samaira 's birth (2005) brought the couple closer. 'Samaira is a great cementing force between them. In fact, Sunjay is playing a polo tournament soon, and the prize has been named after Samaira. It will be the Samaira Trophy. That's how much he loves his daughter,' concluded the actress. Eventually, Karisma Kapoor and Sunjay Kapoor decided to part ways and mutually filed for divorce in 2014, which was finalized in 2016.

Son of Sardaar 2 box office collection day 4: Ajay Devgn's film witnesses drop amid tough competition from Saiyaara
Son of Sardaar 2 box office collection day 4: Ajay Devgn's comedy-drama released in theatres on August 1 and clashed with Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri's Dhadak 2. While the film has managed to stay ahead of Dhadak 2, it is still struggling at the box office and has now seen a decline in collections on its first Monday. Son of Sardaar 2 box office collection day 4: Ajay Devgn headlines the comedy with Mrunal Thakur and Ravi Kishan for company. Son of Sardaar 2 witnesses a dip on first Monday According to Sacnilk, Ajay's film closed its opening weekend with ₹24.75 crore (earning ₹7.25 crore on Day 1, ₹8.25 crore on Day 2, and ₹9.25 crore on Day 3). However, the film failed to maintain momentum at the box office on its first Monday, earning just ₹1.88 crore. The total collection of the movie now stands at ₹26.63 crore. While the film continues to race ahead of Dhadak 2, it has clearly faced tough competition from Saiyaara. Ajay's film earned slightly more than what Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda's Saiyaara collected on Monday, which marked its 18th day at the box office. Saiyaara earned ₹1.82 crore, according to the trade tracking site, taking its total box office collection to ₹301.29 crore. Mrunal Thakur, the film's female lead, was seen encouraging viewers to watch the movie in theatres and decide its fate for themselves. When a fan tweeted about the film's mixed reviews on social media, saying, 'The way the reviews are on Instagram and YouTube, I don't even feel like watching it anymore,' Mrunal responded, 'Most of the reviews are misleading… I would appreciate if you decide how YOU LIKE IT SIR!' About Son of Sardaar 2 The sequel to the 2012 hit Son of Sardaar follows the story of Ajay's character, Jassi, who is called to London by his wife (played by Neeru Bajwa), only to be blindsided by her demand for a divorce. Stranded and heartbroken, he crosses paths with Rabia (Mrunal Thakur), a spirited member of an all-girl wedding dhol band. Rabia's younger sister, Saba (Roshni Walia), is in love with the son of the stern and traditional Raja (Ravi Kishan), who insists on meeting her parents before giving his approval. The problem? Saba's parents are no more. To keep the romance alive, Jassi agrees to pose as her father, an ex-army colonel, while Rabia plays the mother. What follows is a hilarious and chaotic ride of twists, emotional beats, and drama. The film received mixed reviews from critics. However, Ravi Kishan, Sanjay Mishra, and Deepak Dobriyal's performances and comic timing were widely appreciated by both critics and audiences.
