Housefull 5 Opening Weekend Box Office: Akshay Kumar starrer flirts with Rs 80 crore in 3 days
The Akshay Kumar-led comic caper, Housefull 5, has scored good results at the box office in its opening weekend in India. According to early estimates, the Sajid Nadiadwala-produced entertainer has collected Rs 29.25 crore on the third day, taking the first-weekend collection in the vicinity of Rs 79.75 crore. The film has done well in the urban and rural areas, though the real test begins from Monday, as the weekend biz is just half the work done. For those unaware, Housefull 5 opened at Rs 22.00 crore on Friday, followed by a spike in business to Rs 28.50 crore on Saturday (Bakri Eid) and Rs 29.25 crore on Sunday. The target for Housefull 5 will be to be as close as possible to the Rs 10 crore mark, and then put in another Rs 25 crore from Tuesday to Thursday, taking the first week total to Rs 114 crore. If the film scores in North of Rs 10 crore, it is well on track to enter the Rs 200 crore club, and for that matter, even the biggest Housefull film to date. A day in the range of Rs 8.00 crore to Rs 10.00 crore will keep in line for a Rs 175 crore finish in India. The first-weekend business is the second best for Akshay Kumar in the post-Covid world after Sooryavanshi, as also the second best of 2025 for the Hindi Film industry. The best-performing circuit for Housefull 5 on Sunday was Gujarat, and this is a positive sign, as a comedy film often overperforms in the long run based on the support from Gujarat. The weekend results are good, though 3-day results around the Rs 85 crore mark would have been an ideal result for the film and the makers, as far as the trend from Rs 22 crore is concerned. All eyes are now on the Monday test. Housefull 5 Opening Weekend Box Office Collection: Friday: Rs 22.00 crore Saturday: Rs 28.50 crore Sunday: Rs 29.25 crore (Estimates) Total: Rs 79.50 crore (Estimates) Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates!

Vijay Mallya's two marriages and another strong rumour. An air hostess, childhood friend and another air hostess
Vijay Mallya, once celebrated as the flamboyant "King of Good Times" and a towering figure in Indian business, is as well-known for his personal relationships as for his business empire and controversies. His love life has seen significant turns—from a mid-air romance with an air hostess to rekindling childhood affection and whispers of another relationship with a much younger cabin crew member. The First Marriage: Love at 30,000 Feet In 1986, during a business trip to the United States, Vijay Mallya boarded an Air India flight, where he encountered Sameera Tyabjee , a young and striking air hostess. The attraction was instant, and after several conversations on the flight, Mallya proposed mid-air—a story that has often been highlighted in media reports. The couple married within the same year and soon welcomed a son, Siddhartha Mallya. Their life took a new direction when they moved to England. However, what began with a romantic proposal eventually faced challenges. Over time, differences emerged, and their marriage ended in divorce. The reasons cited in various reports point towards growing personal disagreements, although specific details remain private. Rekindling Childhood Affection: Second Marriage to Rekha Following his separation from Sameera, Vijay Mallya reconnected with Rekha, a woman he had admired since childhood. Rekha, who had been married twice before, was also going through a separation at the time. She had two children from her previous marriage—Kabir and Laila. The couple's bond deepened quickly, leading to marriage in 1993. Vijay Mallya officially adopted Rekha's daughter Laila, treating her as his own. Together, they also had two daughters, Leanna and Tanya. Although media reports have occasionally hinted at a separation, no official confirmation has come forth, and Rekha has maintained a low public profile. Rumoured Romance With Younger Cabin Crew: Pinky Lalwani In the years following his legal troubles and eventual exit from India, Vijay Mallya became linked with Pinky Lalwani, a former air hostess for Kingfisher Airlines who is reportedly 23 years younger. The two are said to have developed a close relationship while working together. Pinky Lalwani has been seen accompanying Mallya to various public appearances, including his court hearings in London, which intensified speculation about their partnership. Several insiders suggest that they have been living together for years, though neither has publicly confirmed marriage. Reports also mention that she resides in his Hertfordshire mansion. Vijay Mallya's life is a blend of grand successes, dramatic falls, and personal stories. His two confirmed marriages—to Sameera Tyabjee and Rekha Mallya—and the persistent rumours surrounding his relationship with Pinky Lalwani, reflect the complex and often private side of a man known more for his business ventures and controversies.
