Zanai shared this video on Instagram along with Siraj and wrote, 'Happy Rakhi, nothing could have been better than this.' Put an end to the rumors After the video surfaced, rumors started spreading on social media that Siraj and Zanai were dating each other. However, both clarified that their relationship is only that of brother and sister, and their bond is very lovely. 'Miyan Magic' seen on England tour The England tour was the best phase of Mohammed Siraj's Test career.

When Jasprit Bumrah needed rest, Siraj played all five consecutive Tests and strengthened the team.

Although his average was slightly on the higher side at 32.43, this is understandable given the high-scoring nature of the series, played mostly on flat pitches against a strong and aggressive batting lineup.

Aishwarya Rai has been tying rakhi to THIS actor for 17 years, calls him 'Bhaiya,' his name is..., their last film together was... Aishwarya Rai is considered one of the most phenomenal actresses in Indian cinema. From her charismatic screen presence to her mesmerizing red carpet appearances, the actress has already left an indelible mark among audiences in her long acting career spanning nearly three decades. Her co-star from Jodhaa Akbar (2013), Sonu Sood, once opened up about his experience working with her and the compliment she gave him. Sonu Sood on his brotherly bond with Aishwarya Rai Back in 2013, in an interaction with TOI, Sonu Sood revealed that Aishwarya Rai was initially reserved on the sets but eventually opened up to him during a scene in the film and told him, 'You remind me of my pa!.' Sonu praised the actress and even mentioned that she is extremely adorable as a person and even tied him rakhi. They developed a close bond on the sets of Ashutosh Gowariker's Jodhaa Akbar and since then, have maintained a brother-sister like relationship. Even after so many years, Aishwarya has continued to tie rakhi to Sonu. Sonu Sood on working with Abhishek Bachchan and Amitabh Bachchan In the same interaction, Sonu revealed that he had the opportunity to collaborate with her husband Abhishek Bachchan in films like Yuva and Happy New Year . At the same time, he had the privilege of playing Amitabh Bachchan's son in Buddha Hoga Tera Baap. The Dabangg actor said, 'I thoroughly enjoyed working with Mr. Bachchan. He has played my father in Bbuddah… Hoga Terra Baap, while Abhishek has played my brother in Yuva and Aishwarya my sister in Jodhaa Akbar. In my first scene with Mr. Bachchan, I had to push him. I told my director, 'How can I do this to a person I have grown up respecting.' Sonu further added, 'He sits on the set and doesn't go to the van and goes on rehearsing his lines. I also do that and he was happy that I also wanted to rehearse. Like him on every film, I too feel that it is my first film. I sometimes get up in the night and start rehearsing my lines or start re-writing my dialogues and message my director. Abhishek is not layered and you get what you see. Aishwarya was reserved in the beginning, but opened up while doing a scene in Jodhaa Akbar when she told me, 'You remind me of my pa!' She still calls me bhai sahab.' Meanwhile, on the work front, Aishwarya Rai was last seen in Mani Ratnam's Ponniyin Selvan: II (2023) . While, Sonu Sood starred in the action thriller Fateh (2024), which was directed by himself.

Shruti Haasan says box office pressure is more on male actors and directors: ‘It's a boy problem'
In the film industry, box office performance often becomes a defining factor in an actor's career, creating immense pressure. However, Shruti Haasan believes the burden is heavier on male actors. In an interview with Zoom, Shruti explained why she thinks box office numbers are a 'boy problem'. Shruti Haasan reveals if she feels pressured by the box office numbers of her films. Shruti Haasan says box office number is a 'boy problem' When asked if she is concerned about box office numbers, Shruti said, 'The pressure is more on the male actors and directors, jinka Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday sab box office pe chalta hai (whose Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday all depend on the box office). For women leading films, box office numbers are never those numbers. The pressure there is to break even and do better. It is not about the ₹2,000 crore club, the next club, probably.' Shruti added that numbers can still benefit female actors in such projects, saying, 'Numbers keep growing, and this is a 'boy problem'. It is nice to work in such films and there are benefits too for being a part of these big-ticket films. It is beneficial for women who are in them. You become a part of a saleable endeavour.' Shruti is set to appear in Lokesh Kanagaraj's Coolie. At the film's audio launch event in Chennai, Rajinikanth spoke about her role in the film and recalled, 'There is an important female character… I asked who is going to play it. Lokesh said, 'Shruti, sir!' Is that it?? I saw the movie 3 at the time; she is a glamorous heroine! How about this role? He said, 'She is more interested in acting in your film than in her father's!'' About Coolie Helmed by Lokesh Kanagaraj and produced by Kalanithi Maran under Sun Pictures, the action thriller stars Rajinikanth, Nagarjuna, Soubin Shahir, Upendra, Shruti Haasan, and Sathyaraj in lead roles, along with Rachita Ram, Reba Monica John, Junior MGR, Kanna Ravi, Monisha Blessy, Kaali Venkat, and Charle in supporting roles.
