‘Sara wanted to be like Kareena Kapoor': When birthday girl Sara Ali Khan dressed up as Bebo from Asoka; see pic
Kareena Kapoor Khan's birthday wish for Sara Ali Khan
In 2001, Kareena Kapoor Khan emerged as a style sensation when she danced to Alka Yagnik's San Sanana as Kaurwaki in Shah Rukh Khan's film Asoka. Bebo portrayed the role of a feisty warrior woman, sporting bold dark eyeliner and tattoos across her body. A few years ago in a chat with Bollywood Hungama, Amrita Singh's close friend and actor Navneet Nishan revealed how Sara Ali Khan, who was 6 years old then, wanted to be like Bebo after Asoka's release. Navneet had shared, 'I remember when Asoka (2001) had released, she wanted to be dressed like Kareena Kapoor. I had to make tattoos on her. Then I tied a scarf around her. I remember Saif Ali Khan came to my house. He looked at her with shock, like 'What are you doing?'! I clicked a picture at that very moment. Even Amrita is there in the picture.'
When this picture went viral on social media, a netizen pointed out, 'Baby Sara was so cute....,' whereas another claimed, 'Sara also dressed up as Pooh and went to meet Kareena at K3G premiere.' Meanwhile, many gushed over Sara's brother Ibrahim Ali Khan's uncanny resemblance to his abba Saif. For instance, a comment read, 'Isn't Ibrahim younger than Sara? How is he in this picture?,' whereas another netizen wrote, 'Look at Saif, Ibrahim literally looks like the young Saif. So handsome.'
We wish Sara a very happy birthday!

Not Arjun Rampal, but this actor was supposed to play ‘Mukesh Mehra' in Shah Rukh Khan's 'Om Shanti Om'
It's hard to imagine anyone but playing the suave yet sinister 'Mukesh Mehra' in Om Shanti Om, but the role nearly went to another Bollywood name — . Director Farah Khan has long admitted that casting for the 2007 blockbuster's antagonist was a nightmare. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now 'Casting for the role of Mukesh Mehra was the most difficult as it was a completely negative role, there was nothing positive about him,' she told in an earlier interview with us. The team had a specific vision: Deepika Padukone's on-screen love interest had to be conventionally good-looking, 'probably even better-looking than .' Vivek was offered the role before Arjun but turned it down, not wanting to repeat a negative character after Company. Around the same time, he chose 's Shootout at Lokhandwala instead. Farah & SRK's last-minute scramble By New Year's Eve 2006, the film was set to start shooting in just days — and still had no villain. That's when fate intervened at Shah Rukh Khan's party. Farah and SRK cornered Arjun Rampal — quite literally in a bathroom — to pitch him the part. Initially, Arjun hesitated, calling it 'too villainous,' especially with dark scenes like 'burning the girl.' But SRK refused to give up, personally convincing Arjun to trust both him and Farah. Arjun joined the film just two days before costume fittings, later recalling, 'I'm glad I trusted both of them.' No regrets for Vivek Oberoi Vivek, for his part, has no bitterness about the opportunity lost. In Bollywood Hungama interview, when asked by a fan why he turned down Om Shanti Om, he said, 'You can't go back and change those decisions… you move forward.' The actor has also famously passed on Munnabhai MBBS, Hum Tum, and Bunty Aur Babli. As he puts it, 'For the 10-odd films I let go which succeeded, there were 70 or 80… which failed.'

Kartik is reportedly set to sport a rugged look with long hair and a beard for the film. With Basu's unique storytelling and Kartik's popularity, the Diwali 2025 release has already piqued curiosity. Kartik Aaryan's Work Front: Kartik is currently busy filming Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri, a romantic drama directed by Satyaprem Ki Katha's Sameer Vidwans. Co-starring Ananya Panday, the film is slated to release on February 13, 2026.

In April, he treated his fans in the never‑before‑seen avatar of an Ichadaari (shape‑shifting) Naag. The makers have surprised everyone by sharing the motion poster titled Naagzilla. The release date has also been announced and it will be seen in theatres on August 14, 2026. Kartik Aaryan will be playing the role of Preyamvadeshwar Pyare Chand, an Ichadaari Naag.

Alpha: According to a report by India Today, both Alia and Sharvari are said to appear in a mysterious post-credit cameo in War 2 — one that subtly teases the narrative of Alpha. 'It's short, yes, but it has tension, mystery, and a hint of what these two women are capable of. It's not just a cameo — it's a setup," a source told the outlet. Another insider revealed that the cameo was filmed under tight security earlier this year, with only a handful of crew members on set to preserve the secrecy. While Yash Raj Films has not officially confirmed Alia and Sharvari's involvement in War 2, fans are already connecting the dots — and Alia's Instagram story has only added fuel to the fire. If true, this would mark a strategic expansion of the YRF Spy Universe, tying the past (Tiger, Pathaan, War) with the future (Alpha) through seamless narrative integration. Directed by Shiv Rawail, Alpha is expected to mark a new era in Bollywood's action genre, showcasing female spies at the centre of a sprawling espionage saga.
