Rani Mukerji recently attended the UK premiere of Come Fall In Love — A DDLJ Musical, directed by husband Aditya Chopra at the Manchester Opera House in the United Kingdom. Being held from May 29 to June 21, the musical comedy is based on one of the biggest blockbuster films, Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (DDLJ) and stars Jena Pandya and Ashley Day, who portray the roles of Simran and Roger respectively. A picture of the Kuch Kuch Hota Hai actress from the musical event has surfaced online, wherein she could be seen posing for a picture with one of the show's cast members. Taking to Instagram, Come Fall In Love Musical shared the picture on her stories and captioned it as 'We had another special visitor last night." For the event, Rani opted for a traditional look and wore a brown floral suit paired with a matching dupatta. As per the official website, Come Fall In Love — The DDLJ Musical follows the story of Simran, a young British woman who is set to marry as per her father's choice in an arranged marriage setting in India.

American Pie star Jason Biggs snorted cocaine from a stranger's trash during drug addiction days: ‘Absolutely insane'
American actor Jason Biggs is shedding light on a deeply personal and harrowing chapter of his life, opening up about the extent of his struggles with drug addiction. Known for his breakout role as a teenager in American Pie, Jason spoke about one of the darkest episodes from his 20s—a period when substance use began to spiral out of control. Speaking on a new episode of Arielle Lorre's Well podcast, the now 47-year-old actor didn't hold back in sharing what he described as one of the 'craziest stories' from his 20s. Alone in his house at 4 a.m. while his wife Jenny Mollen was asleep upstairs, Jason said, 'I was doing cocaine by myself in my house, and I did what I said was the last line.' Hoping to put an end to the binge, he threw the remaining cocaine in the trash. But the decision didn't stick for long. 'Within 15 minutes, as soon as my last bump is wearing off, I'm like, 'What am I doing?' I go into my trash and I take it out and I do a line,' he added. Trying again to stop himself, he moved the bag outside. ''Okay, I'm done,'' he told himself after tossing it into the garbage bin in front of his house. But even after taking an Ambien to sleep, the pull was too strong. 'Before I took the Ambien, I was like, 'One more.' I went outside and I climbed into the trash bin and got the bag of coke and went upstairs and did another line.' It was in that moment that reality hit. 'I was like, 'What the f**k am I doing? This is absolutely insane',' he recalled. The night escalated further. Jason said he got into his car, drove down in Los Angeles, and found a stranger's trash can. He put the cocaine into a discarded coffee cup and threw it away again. But the cycle continued. 'I drove back to the trash can, retrieved the baggie of drugs from the coffee cup, and snorted another line.' He acknowledged how unwilling he was to truly quit: 'I could have easily opened the baggie and dumped it down the toilet, but I didn't. That's too final. I knew I was going to finish that bag the moment I got it, but I kept playing this game with myself. That was very close to rock bottom.' Now years removed from that night, Jason credits his move from Los Angeles to New York as a turning point. 'There's something about the energy of New York that gives me something, that fills me in a way that Los Angeles couldn't. I do believe coming to New York helped me. So, I did fall off the wagon here, but that was seven and a half years ago, and it's been going well.' Jason says he has been sober since 2017, the same year he and Mollen welcomed their second son. In a 2018 Instagram post marking one year of sobriety, he wrote, 'I first tried to get sober over five years ago, when the weight of my obsession with booze and drugs became too heavy for me to handle. Turns out this s**t is hard. After some fits and starts, I've managed to put together one year of sobriety. I'm as proud of it as anything in my life.' His message to others was clear: 'If you're struggling, know there's help. Don't be ashamed. We can do this.'

Thug Life vs Housefull 5 Opening Weekend Box Office: Akshay Kumar's comedy dominates Kamal Haasan starrer by a Rs 50 crore margin
Thug Life and Housefull 5 locked horns with one another over the Bakri Eid weekend at the Indian box office. Thug Life released a day earlier than Housefull 5 and grossed Rs 81 crore worldwide over its extended 4 day weekend. Housefull 5 has emerged a clear winner grossing Rs 131 crore worldwide in just 3 days. Let's break down the box office of both films in further detail. Thug Life grossed slightly over Rs 36 crore worldwide on its opening day. Due to poor word of mouth, the film saw a striking drop over the subsequent days. It barely managed to double its opening day over the weekend and that is disastrous. The 4 day India collections of Thug Life stand at an abysmal Rs 40 crore while the film has brought a better, although poor, Rs 41 crore from international markets. The movie is unlikely to touch Rs 100 crore worldwide in its lifetime and that is tragic, given that big Tamil movies are grossing that much on their very first day. Infact, Leo, in advance, grossed more than what Thug Life will, in the full run. Housefull 5 opened to good worldwide collections of a little over Rs 38 crore. It grossed Rs 26.50 crore (Rs 22 crore net) in India, and managed around Rs 12 crore from international markets. The film went from strength to strength over the weekend, growing on Bakri Eid and then also on Sunday. The India gross total of Housefull 5 after 3 days is Rs 95 crore, while it has grossed around Rs 36.50 crores internationally. The weekend collections are the highest for an Akshay Kumar starrer as a lead hero, be it in India, overseas or worldwide. Housefull 5 is holding well in India on Monday. The collections internationally are expected to show bigger drops because the driver of the collections of Housefull 5 over the weekend were the Gulf countries and the Gulf market is more frontloaded. Had it been North America leading the numbers, one could have expected better holds for the comic caper. Regardless, it has done well for itself. The Weekend Box Office Comparison Of Thug Life And Housefull 5 Is As Under Thug Life and Housefull 5 play in theatres near you, now. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates on both movies.
