Sobhita Dhulipala looking stylish, not expecting
Though there's been no official confirmation, reports have suggested that an announcement could be on the horizon. However, those close to the couple have offered a different take. A family insider humorously dismissed the rumours, clarifying that there's no baby on the way. 'She wore anti-fit, not maternity,' the source quipped, adding that the actress' style has simply evolved.
'It's amazing how a change in silhouette can birth a whole new storyline,' the insider joked, hinting at the over-analysis celebrities often face. So far, neither Sobhita nor the Akkineni family has commented publicly on the matter.

Winning a National Award is a milestone most actors dream of. For Sanya Malhotra , that dream turned into a reality this year as not one, but three of her films, 'Jawan', 'Kathal', and 'Sam Bahadur', clinched top honours at the 71st National Film Awards. This recognition has left her grateful, emotional, and more convinced than ever about following her artistic instincts. A rare triple win Talking to Hindustan Times, Sanya admits she had to pause and let the news sink in when she found out about the triple win. While 'Kathal' won Best Hindi Feature Film, 'Jawan' saw Shah Rukh Khan take home Best Actor, while 'Sam Bahadur' bagged awards for Best Feature Film Promoting National, Social, and Environmental Values, along with Best Makeup and Best Costume Design. 'It's rare, and I don't take it for granted. This reaffirmed my belief in trusting my gut as an actor,' she says. Feels Surreal Playing the leading lady for 'Kathal' was particularly special for Sanya. She describes the film's recognition as 'surreal,' given its unusual and quirky premise. 'To be the face of a film like this, and to see it reach this kind of recognition, is overwhelming. I'm so proud of the team and grateful to have been part of the journey,' she shares. The project, which began as a modestly ambitious story, has now carved a spot in Indian cinema history.

'Awards can't define your worth as an artist, but they definitely feel good when they come from genuine appreciation," she said while adding that the National Awards are different as "it feels like the country is acknowledging your work".

Vishnuvardhan memorial demolition: Rishab Shetty, Kichcha Sudeep REACTS - 'An insult to his personality'
(Picture Courtesy: Facebook) The overnight demolition of a structure at late Kannada superstar Vishnuvardhan's memorial in Bengaluru's Abhiman Studios has triggered a wave of grief and anger among fans and film industry members. The incident was carried out reportedly with court approval and under police protection. Actors Rishab Shetty , Kichcha Sudeep, and Dhruva Sarja , have expressed deep disappointment over the treatment of the legendary actor's resting place. Fans and stars react to sudden razing Rishab Shetty took to X, calling the demolition 'condemnable' and 'an insult to his personality and service to the arts.' Kichcha Sudeep described the act as heartbreaking, likening it to 'the destruction of a temple of a god we have revered for years. Kichcha Sudeep wrote, "I am speaking as a fan of Vishnuvardhan, not as 'Kiccha.' I am deeply hurt. Vishnuvardhan had a spiritual inclination. He always used to say — 'I want to become a metaphor. I should not end up inside some building or be tied to immovable properties. I must remain in the five elements. We belong to nature.' In one sense, it feels like another one of his wishes has come true. But ordinary fans and the public will not understand this. Just like you need a post box to post a letter, we too need a temple or a memorial to pay our respects and prayers." Dhruva Sarja echoed similar sentiments, stating that while Vishnuvardhan's legacy doesn't need a memorial to live on, the manner of demolition was deeply hurtful. Dispute over memorial site The land, once owned by actor Balakrishna, is now at the center of a dispute between the current owners and fans. The memorial included an 8-foot statue of Vishnuvardhan, which has long been a site of homage. As reported by the Hindustan Times, the owner acted after a court order, but the decision has drawn sharp criticism. Balakrishna's daughter, Geeta Bali, alleged political involvement and linked the demolition to her brother's unsolved murder last year. Director Ravi Srivathsa, who filmed the aftermath, called it a desecration of a sacred space for fans. Call for preservation and respect Sudeep revealed that several in the industry, including himself, had offered to fund the memorial's upkeep, but the government allegedly showed no interest. He vowed to approach the court if necessary to save at least a small portion of the site. Meanwhile, a new 2.75-acre memorial in Mysuru, in development since 2020, aims to showcase the actor's personal belongings, but for many, it does not replace the emotional significance of the original cremation site. Vishnuvardhan, known as 'Sahasa Simha,' passed away in December 2009.

'Sholay' Turns 50: Javed Akhtar says Sanjeev Kumar, Amitabh Bachchan, Dharmendra starrer was supposed to be a FLOP; reveals last time he watched the film
'Sholay' is a film loved by every generation. Many fans have watched it countless times, but interestingly, one of its co-writers, the legendary Javed Akhtar , says he hasn't seen the film in years, possibly decades, and he has a good reason for it. Sholay turns 50 On August 15, 'Sholay' will complete 50 years since its release. The film remains the biggest box office hit in Indian cinema history, based on footfalls and inflation-adjusted earnings. Javed, who co-wrote the script with Salim Khan during their Salim-Javed days, told Hindustan Times, "You should be happy with the work you have done if it is appreciated. But that umbilical cord needs to be cut. You cannot take the full credit for it. And you shouldn't, too. Now, you should think of what you need to do now, because you are always as relevant as your latest work. You can stay in your dreams, but it won't help. Those who are lost in their history have no hope for their future." He further revealed how many times he has seen 'Sholay'. Opening up to the portal, he admitted, "When it was released, I watched it 5-6 times because the initial reports were bad." He went on to add "The film was supposed to be a flop initially, so I watched to see how it had turned out." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like The World's Most Stunning Blue Flag Beaches Ranked: Top 25 List!

Released in 1975, it became the highest-grossing Indian film of all time, breaking 'Mughal-e-Azam's record. It held that title for over a decade until 'Disco Dancer' surpassed it, but 'Sholay' still holds the record for the most tickets ever sold for an Indian film. About film's re-release Over the years, it has become a pop culture phenomenon in India, with its characters becoming household names and its lines becoming memes and quotable quotes. The Ramesh Sippy film has been re-released several times, with the last re-release in 2005, to mark the film's 30th anniversary. A 4k restored version of Sholay will screen at the 50th edition of the Toronto International Film Festival in September this year.
