Kareena Kapoor says Taimur and Jeh fuss when she's at work, calls Saif Ali Khan the fun parent: ‘They love it when he is there, spoils them'
Actor couple Kareena Kapoor Khan and Saif Ali Khan are working parents, but they make sure to be present at home as much as possible. Kareena has previously spoken about the challenges of balancing career and motherhood. In a recent interview, she once again opened up about her parenting journey with Saif, sharing that sons Taimur Ali Khan and Jeh Ali Khan love being around their dad, who happily spoils them.
During a conversation with Vicky Kaushal for The Hollywood Reporter India's YouTube channel, Kareena said, 'They love it when Saif is there, because Saif is such a lovely father, and he is a hands-on father. Also, they get extra TV time when he is around. My elder one loves to play guitar and drums with Saif. When I am not around, they always get extra TV time. The father always spoils them; otherwise, I am always like 'Go to bed.''

Vicky further asked how she manages the kids and work. To this, she replied, 'It gets tough. This year, Saif went out and shot for two films, so they were used to Mumma being home. Now, if I go to shoot-like for a couple of days, when I'm shooting for ads, 10-15 days a month-they're constantly irritated. They're always like, 'Where is Amma?'
Kareena Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan fell in love on the sets of Tashan in 2008 and tied the knot in 2012. They welcomed Taimur Ali Khan in 2016 and Jehangir Ali Khan in 2021.
Meanwhile, on the professional front, Kareena Kapoor Khan will next share screen space with Malayalam actor Prithviraj Sukumaran in Daayra.

Squid Game Season 3 ending explained: The truth about Gi Hun's fate, the mystery woman, and all survivors
Squid Game Season 3 wrapped its final run with six episodes dropping on June 27. With that, the Hwang Dong Hyuk directorial—Netflix's most-watched series to date- comes to an end, with no plans for another season. Season 3 picks up right where Season 2 left off, with Gi Hun stepping back into the game. Not for the money, not for guilt, this time, he's here to shut it down once and for all. He had previously led a rebellion against the system, but it failed miserably. His heroic act ended up costing 37 lives, leaving him shattered. He was sent out in a coffin. Now, with nothing left to lose, he's back in the arena with one mission. But the birth of a new baby gives him a glimmer of hope. So here we are, breaking down everything that went down in the finale of Squid Game Season 3. Also read: Squid Game creator Hwang Dong-hyuk hints at spin-off series, shares plot details: 'There is that three-year period' Players are divided into two types: Knives: Must kill a Key to survive. Keys: Just need to stay alive Myung Gi tells Jun Hee he will protect her and the baby, but ends up killing Hyun Ju, who had just helped Jun Hee deliver her baby. Jun Hee's trust is completely shattered. Geum Ja begs her son not to kill Jun Hee and instead kill her, but he leaps towards the newborn and his mother with a knife. Geum Ja stabs him from the back, yes, she ends up killing her own son. Later, she speaks to Gi Hun, telling him to save others and not to lose hope. That same night, she hanged herself to death. Gi Hun loses his mind. He blames Dae Ho for the failed rebellion. Dae Ho had claimed he'd bring back weapons, but he chickened out. So Gi Hun hunts him down and kills him with his bare hands. Players this time have to cross a narrow bridge or fall to their deaths. Jun Hee is badly injured in the leg, so she hands her baby to Gi Hun and trusts him with crossing the bridge with the baby. He promises Jun Hee that he will come back and take her along, but she asks him not to come. She jumps to her death. That way, Gi Hun can live and raise the child. Her baby becomes Player 222, an actual contestant. Also read: Squid Game Season 3 review: Brutal games and bigger moral dilemmas make you pause and reflect Gi Hun is taken to a private meeting with the Front Man (In Ho). He hands Gi Hun a knife and suggests: 'Kill the rest while they're sleeping, and vote to end the Game with the baby.' Gi Hun asks why he's doing this, and then In Ho removes his mask, he's Player 001. He taunts player 426, saying no matter what he does, someone else will always run the Game. But Gi Hun refuses to follow his path and chooses to play the game, leaving everything on faith. Players must cross three towers. To move ahead, one person must die at each level, being pushed down to death. At this point, the only ones left are: Min Su gets voted off first. Player 100 is killed by Myung Gi too. Gi Hun tells the rest, who are planning to push him and the baby, that he won't give up on the baby and will die with him if targeted. So someone from them will have to die in the next level. This causes a rift in the group, who play a game of rock, paper, scissors, slowly, everyone dies. Now, final showdown: Gi Hun vs. Myung Gi. They fight. Myung Gi falls and dies. But no one had pressed the button, so the Game still needs a death. Gi Hun has two choices: either kill himself or the baby. He lays the baby down and chooses to jump. Looks up, knowing the VIPs are watching from their secret room. Then says, 'We are not horses. We are humans. Humans are…'. The Game ends. The baby wins. Jun Ho (the cop from Season 1 and the half-sibling of In Ho, the frontman) tracks down the island again. His brother, In Ho, orders the entire place to self-destruct and escapes with the baby. Six months later, Jun Ho finds the child and Gi Hun's prize money in his apartment. It's clear, the frontman left the baby for his brother to raise, along with the winnings. No Eul, the soldier who saved a contestant, finds out her daughter might still be alive. Gyeong Seok, the father who joined the Game to help his sick daughter, reunites with her. Woo Seok, out of prison, looks to reopen Gi Hun's hotel. Sae Byeok's little brother is finally reunited with their mother. In Ho meets Gi Hun's daughter and hands her his belongings with the winnings. Who is the mystery woman? The most searched question of Squid Game 3 is the cameo of Cate Blanchett. In the final scene, In Ho is in LA, where he sees a woman in a suit slapping down a Ddakji card. Her identity is revealed, she's a recruiter. This sets up a possible spin-off of Squid Game in America. The Games are still going on. Somewhere else. Squid Game Season 3 isn't a happy ending. Gi Hun dies, and the system doesn't exactly collapse. But it triggers changes. We think so.

Just 10 months before her sudden death, Shefali Jariwala had said: 'I want to be known as the Kaanta Laga girl till the day I die'
In a deeply heartbreaking and shocking development, actress and reality TV personality Shefali Jariwala, fondly remembered as the Kaanta Laga girl, has passed away at the age of 42. The actress, who gained national fame through the early 2000s remix hit and later appeared on Bigg Boss 13, is said to have suffered a cardiac arrest late on the night of June 27. According to reports, Shefali was rushed to Bellevue Multispeciality Hospital in Andheri, Mumbai, by her husband and three others. However, she was declared dead upon arrival. The hospital receptionist confirmed the tragic news, stating, 'Shefali had expired before she was brought in. Her husband and a few others accompanied the body.' 'I want to be known as the Kaanta Laga girl till the day I die' Just 10 months ago, Shefali had expressed her pride in the iconic identity she had created through her debut music video. During a candid conversation on Paras Chhabra's podcast, she addressed whether she ever tired of being known for Kaanta Laga. 'Go anywhere—YouTube, interviews, even Bigg Boss—it's not easy,' she said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Temerin: New Container Houses (Prices May Surprise You) Container House | Search Ads Search Now Undo 'But you tell me, how much work does an artist do just to create one identity? Like Angry Young Man or King Khan. In my first project, it did that for me.' 'There can be only one Kaanta Laga girl in the whole world, and that is me,' she added proudly. 'I love it. I want to be known as the Kaanta Laga girl till the day I die. Even on my last living day on this earth, I still want people to remember me for that song. I'm very proud of it.' The remix that sparked an era and a cultural debate Shefali also revisited the legacy of the song, originally from the 1971 film Samadhi, which was remixed and released in 2002—marking the start of the remix boom in India. 'Kaanta Laga was one of the first big songs of the remix wave. It started a new era in music,' she recalled. During the same podcast, Paras Chhabra shared a personal anecdote from his childhood, recalling how he once got scolded by his mother for buying the Kaanta Laga cassette — shocked by Shefali's photo on the cover. Laughing at the memory, Shefali defended the bold visual style of the video. 'Top to bottom, I was fully covered! There was nothing revealing about that outfit. I was probably one of the most covered girls in that entire era of remixes,' she said. 'It wasn't about the clothes—it was the attitude. The girl in the video was bold, rebellious, reading a porn magazine, going to a nightclub, fighting with her boyfriend. That's what made people uncomfortable. It was the energy, the boldness, the confidence. That's what threw people off, not what I was wearing.'

California legislature acts to keep film and TV production at home
By Lisa Richwine California legislature acts to keep film and TV production at home June 27 - Hollywood's home state of California will more than double annual tax incentives for film and television production to $750 million under a measure passed by the Democratic-led legislature on Friday. The increase from the current $330 million was approved as part of a broader tax bill that is expected to be signed into law by Governor Gavin Newsom in the coming days. Democrat Newsom had advocated for the boost, a step to help reverse a years-long exodus of production from California to places such as Britain, Canada and other U.S. states that offer generous tax credits and rebates. Producers, directors, actors and behind-the-scenes workers have warned lawmakers that Hollywood was at risk of becoming the next Detroit, the automaking capital devastated by overseas competition, if current trends continued. Permitting data showed production in Los Angeles, the location of major studios including Walt Disney and Netflix, fell to the second-lowest level on record in 2024. California has lost more than 17,000 jobs since 2022 from its declining share of the entertainment industry, according to union estimates. Producer Uri Singer said he shot three films in New York to take advantage of its tax incentives. He received a California tax credit to shoot his current project, a horror flick called "Corporate Retreat," in Los Angeles. "You can get such good cast and crew that are available that makes shooting in L.A. financially better," he said. "Besides that, creatively you find here anyone you want, and if you need another crane, within an hour you have a crane." Plus, "the crew is happy because they go home every day," Singer added. Local advocates applauded California's expansion of tax incentives, though they said more needs to be done. Writer Alexandra Pechman, an organzier of a "Stay in LA" campaign by Hollywood workers, called on Hollywood studios to commit to a specific amount of spending in California to support creative workers. "It's time for the studios and streamers to do their part to turn this win into real change for all of us," Pechman said. Industry supporters also are pushing for federal tax incentives to keep filming in the United States. Republican President Donald Trump has offered a different way to address the issue. Trump said in May that he had authorized government agencies to impose a 100% tariff on movies produced overseas. The movie tariff has not been implemented.
