Not Even Mumbai Rains Can Hold Back Vidya Balan's Work Spirit
Vidya Balan's dedication to her craft was on full display as she braved heavy rains to attend an event in Mumbai on Tuesday. Unfazed by the downpour, the actress arrived on time, showcasing her professionalism and positive attitude towards work.
Videos and photos from the event are now making the rounds online. In one viral clip, Vidya is seen walking with her team, holding her bag, as the paparazzi guide her towards the designated spot for photos and interviews. Despite the weather, she reached the mark with a smile and warmly interacted with the photographers.
The actress looked effortlessly elegant in a crisp white shirt paired with a long black skirt, cinched at the waist with a stylish brown belt. She completed the ensemble with silver earrings and a neat bun.

Recently, during an interview with Rodrigo Canelas on his YouTube channel Something Bigger, Vidya recalled the time when she was once labelled 'jinxed" after her debut film Chakram, with Mohanlal, was shelved.
'After a successful film shoot, I was sent back to Bombay after 15 days. They claimed Mohanlal sir had some date issues, so we'd take a break and return next month. The director and the actor were having issues, so we weren't filming for most of the days, so I assumed this was how things were supposed to be. So I returned to Bombay," said Vidya.
During this time, the actress had signed 8-9 other projects, but things took an ugly turn when Chakram got shelved. 'After it was shelved, I lost all of the 8, 9 films I was given. They believed the actor and director had produced eight successful films together and were working on their ninth. So they said maybe it's this girl's energy, and she is jinxed," she shared.
On the work front, Vidya was last seen in the horror comedy film Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, which was released on Diwali last year. Helmed by Anees Bazmee, the film also featured Kartik Aaryan, Triptii Dimri and Madhuri Dixit Nene in the lead roles.
Backed by Bhushan Kumar, the film was a big hit and even surpassed the lifetime collection of its predecessor, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2.
Vidya is yet to announce her next project.

Saiyaara Mode On: Ahaan Panday Is The New Gen-Z Sensation And We Couldn't Agree More
Last Updated: Ahaan Panday is winning hearts across the country with his debut film, Saiyaara. A viral video shows fans singing along in theatres, solidifying his rise as a Gen Z icon. The Saiyaara fever shows no signs of slowing down, and at the heart of it all is budding star Ahaan Panday. The romantic drama, directed by Mohit Suri, stars Ahaan alongside Aneet Padda, and it has become a nationwide sensation, thanks to its soul-stirring music, heartfelt performances, and emotionally charged storytelling. From fan reels to theatre sing-alongs, the Saiyaara wave is soaring high with a passionate audience. But above all, Ahaan Panday's growing popularity has made him Bollywood's next big youth icon, especially among GenZ audiences. With his charming screen presence and emotional performance, the debutant has become a viral sensation. Speaking in a similar vein, a video is recently circulating on Instagram that shows a packed theatre erupting into a karaoke as fans passionately sing the film's title track. The clip opens to show a man smiling, singing, and dancing while the film plays in the background. In the clip, a few other men are also seen jumping on the platform, singing along to the song, and recording reels. It isn't the first video showing how the movie has struck a nerve with Gen Z audiences, as they are taking their devotion to extreme and bizarre levels. A few days back, a young man was captured in a theatre, hand hooked up to an IV drip, watching Saiyaara with full emotional investment. His friends capture a scene where he wipes away a tear during a poignant moment in the film. In another video on Instagram, the same man was seen walking down a dimly lit road, with the IV still dangling from his arm as the title track of Saiyaara plays in the background. As per the video, the fan is from Satara, Maharashtra. Released on July 18, Saiyaara has already emerged as one of the biggest surprise hits of the year. According to industry tracker Sacnilk, the film has earned more than Rs 153 crore in just six days, with its popularity only growing stronger. The musical love story follows the emotional journey of a gifted composer, played by Aneet Padda, and a bold and determined newcomer chasing his dream as a vocalist, portrayed by Ahaan Panday. As the two fall in love, their relationship is tested by life's unexpected twists—delivered in director Mohit Suri's signature style. Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Ahaan Panday's Saiyaara Had Gen-Z In Tears, Millennials Fast Asleep And Boomers Missing
Last Updated: A video surfacing on Instagram depicts the actual reaction of Gen Z and Millennial audiences while watching Saiyaara. If you've been on social media lately, you've probably noticed, Saiyaara fever has taken over. The Mohit Suri-directed romantic drama, featuring debutants Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, has struck a deep emotional chord with viewers, especially Gen Z. But what's even more dramatic than the film itself is the audience's reaction. From loud cheers and emotional breakdowns to full-blown proposals inside theatres, the response has been nothing short of intense. With such an over-the-top response, it was only a matter of time before the memes rolled in. But one video in particular has captured everyone's attention, showing how different generations are reacting to Saiyaara, and it's downright hilarious. Here's How Gen Z And Millennials' Audiences Are Reacting Set during a screening of the Mohit Suri film, the viral video focuses on the 16–24 age group and shows a girl and a boy getting overly emotional, perfectly capturing Gen-Z's intense reaction inside theatres. Meanwhile, those in the 25–34 age group watched the film with visible confusion, their expressions screaming, 'What the hell is this?" The 35–40 crowd, on the other hand, seemed completely unbothered; some even dozing off mid-show. And as for the 40+ age group? The video hilariously shows… no one. Not a single moviegoer in sight. How Did Social Media React The clip instantly grabbed the attention of the audience, prompting many to share their own review of the film. An Instagram user commented, 'I even rejected without seeing." One of them wrote, 'I'm 34 and I can relate." Another one shared, 'At 45, I enjoyed it. Depends on your heart and not your age btw. But ya didn't cry or collapse." Another one shared, 'That's why I am not in the theatre haul." A comment read, 'Absolutely not, we 40+ also enjoyed thoroughly…it's only the heart u have to watch the movie." Another hilarious comment read, 'I just realised, 32 is new 40." The clip has gone viral for its spot-on (and exaggerated) portrayal of Boomers, Millennials and Gen-Z watching the film. Backed by Yash Raj Films, Saiyaara follows the story of Krish (played by Ahaan), a passionate but troubled musician, and Vaani (Aneet), a shy lyricist recovering from heartbreak. Their paths cross when Krish is inspired by Vaani's poetry and they begin collaborating on songs, forming a deep emotional connection that blossoms into love. The film explores their journey as they navigate their personal traumas and find comfort in each other's company, but it also introduces a challenging twist with Vaani's early-onset Alzheimer's.
