Shraddha Kapoor's cryptic post about 'loneliness' and 'sadness' goes viral, netizens say 'She's silently struggling and...'
Shraddha Kapoor's cryptic post about 'loneliness' and 'sadness' has gone viral and netizens are concerned. She shared the poem in Hindi that was later translated into English. This is what she read:
Jab tum akele ho, Main tumhare paas baith jaungi. Jab tum udaas ho, Main tumhe baahon main bhar loongi. Mujhe pata hai tum kho jaate ho. Mujhe pata hai tum bhaag jaate ho. Lekin main tumhe dhoond loongi, aur tumhe thaam loongi.

Netizens react
One wrote- 'Lately, I've been noticing something different about Shraddha Kapoor. In her recent photos, her smile doesn't feel the same—it's like it's missing the spark we all used to see. There are faint dark circles under her eyes, and the glow she always carried seems a bit dimmer. Maybe I'm overthinking… but it feels like she's silently going through something.'
A second said, 'Life's complicated-even and especially for those in the public eye. They have the same insecurities as we do, but they live in a bubble so they don't always get to touch grass. The least we can do is practice kindness towards everyone - friends, families, neighbors, coworkers and strangers. We don;t know the load of the cross they are carrying.'
A third commented- 'Life is hard and 2025 has particularly been hard for a lot of people. Wishing her strength.'
On her father Shakti Kapoor
In an interview with Firstpost in 2023, Shraddha said, 'He gifted me the newspaper clipping that said Aashiqui 2 100 crore worldwide. He has seen my most stubborn side. I fight with him a lot and then go to my bedroom and ask myself, 'Listen, he's your father but do you know who he is?'
She added, 'He makes me more humble, and because I'm an over thinker, he tells me I don't have to complicate things. He streamlines a lot of things for me, and I feel my most real side comes in front of my father.'

Telugu film body strike ends after CM's intervention
Hyderabad: The nearly three-week-long strike by the Telugu Film Industry Employees Federation, which brought film shooting in the region to a standstill, was called off on Thursday following the intervention of chief minister A Revanth Reddy. The CM engaged with all sections of the Telugu film industry, holding meetings with producers and representatives of the striking unions. After inquiring into the primary issues that led to the strike, he ensured that a "common solution acceptable to all stakeholders" was reached, resulting in the strike being called off. Revanth had also emphasised that the incumbent Congress govt, with the cooperation of the film industry, aims to transform Hyderabad into one of India's leading film hubs and a true film capital.

"The film industry will have a dedicated chapter in the Congress govt's Telangana Rising vision document, which aims to achieve $3 trillion economy. This vision document will be unveiled on or before December 9 this year," the chief minister said. The Telugu film industry had come to a complete halt since August 4, after the employees' federation launched a strike demanding a wage increase. Producers had suspended all shoots, with the film chamber stating it could not accommodate the workers' demand for a 30% pay rise. The strike had prompted several production houses to consider relocating from Hyderabad. The city serves as a production centre for Hindi, Tamil, Bengali, and other language films.

I've been curious about India: Passenger on tour
Passenger, the British singer-songwriter best known for his global hit Let Her Go, is looking forward to his debut performance in India, and he says this is 'something I've wanted to do for many years. ' 'I've always been curious about India,' he says, adding, 'I've heard so much of your music, though I wouldn't claim to know it deeply. It's a different world from the English and American folk traditions I grew up with. But that's the beauty of being an artiste; you keep your ears and mind open. It keeps you fresh.' In an interview with us, the global artiste opens up about staying true to himself as a musician, navigating trends, the importance of honouring his craft, and more. 'MY MUSIC IS FOR PEOPLE WHO WANT TO LISTEN TO IT' In today's music industry, where viral trends dictate careers, Passenger remains unconcerned. 'I've never followed trends,' he admits. 'The music industry is fickle. It changes all the time. The only thing I can do is stay true to who I am, write songs I'm proud of, and put them out for people who want to listen. If it's fashionable, great. If not, that's okay too,' he adds. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Is it better to shower in the morning or at night? Here's what a microbiologist says CNA Read More Undo 'I WANT PEOPLE LISTENING TO ME, TO FEEL LIKE THEY'RE SITTING IN A FRIEND'S LIVING ROOM' His songs, intimate stories of love and loss, have always resonated with listeners. But how does one preserve intimacy in front of thousands? Passenger credits his stripped-back approach. 'It's just me and my guitar. I tell stories, I explain the songs. I want people to feel like they're sitting in a friend's living room, even if there are 3,000 others in that 'living room',' he shares. While love and heartbreak remain central themes, Passenger is not afraid of venturing further. 'Love and loss are part of the human condition, which is why people relate. But it's important to keep challenging yourself. I've just written a West End musical; that's been a whole new world for me,' he adds. 'I'VE LEARNED NOT TO FORCE CREATIVITY' With several albums under his belt, Passenger shrugs at the idea of writer's block. 'Sometimes I write three songs in a week. Sometimes none for three months. It's not clockwork. I've learned not to force it. Songs come when they're ready,' the musician tells us. As he prepares to perform for Indian audiences for the first time, Passenger brings with him the same humility and honesty that carried him from street corners to sold-out venues worldwide. 'At the heart of it,' he says, 'it's still just me and my guitar.' 'I WRITE MUSIC FROM A PLACE OF HONESTY' Before fame, Passenger was a busker for five years. Those years, he says, shaped him. 'It was humbling. I had great days and tough ones, playing to twenty people in a pub. That perspective stays with me. Every time I step on stage now, I remember those nights and how lucky I am,' he tells us. His biggest takeaway is authenticity. 'Any time I've tried to write a song because I thought it would be successful, it doesn't work. But when I write from an honest place, that's when people connect. You can't fake that,' he adds. The music industry is fickle. The only thing I can do is stay true to who I am, write songs I'm proud of, and put them out for people who want to listen Passenger BookMyShow Live is the producer and promoter for Passenger's upcoming India tour.

Indian box office records strongest month of 2025 with Rs 1,430 crore in July
The Indian box office recorded gross collections of Rs 1,430 crore in July, making it the strongest month of the year so far, according to data from Ormax Media. The growth was led by two major titles, the Hindi film Saiyaara and the multi-lingual animated feature Mahavatar Narsimha. Together, the two films contributed nearly half of the month's total earnings, making July the highest-grossing month of 2025 so far. The strong showing has reinforced the positive trajectory for the year. Cumulative collections from January to July have reached Rs 7,175 crore, 22% higher than the same period last year. At this pace, 2025 is on course to cross Rs 12,000 crore in annual collections. If it does, it could surpass the record set in 2023, when the domestic box office grossed Rs 12,226 crore. Saiyaara emerged as the top film of July with collections of Rs 392 crore. This places it as the second-highest earner of the year to date, behind Chhaava. The film benefited from strong reviews, audience word of mouth and a successful music album, all of which contributed to steady box office traction. The second-biggest success of the month was Mahavatar Narsimha, which grossed ?259 crore. About 75% of its domestic earnings came from the Hindi version, reflecting the growing appeal of pan-India animated films among Hindi-speaking audiences. Hollywood titles also continued to perform well in the Indian market. Three releases, Jurassic World Rebirth, Superman and The Fantastic Four: The First Steps, featured in July's top 10 list. Their combined success pushed Hollywood's share of the Indian box office to 12% for the January to July period. This is at par with the share in 2022 and higher than the 9% in 2023 and 8% in 2024. Regional industries showed mixed results in July. Kannada cinema saw a notable rise, with the horror-comedy Su From So helping the industry's share move above 2% from less than 1% in June. Malayalam films, however, saw their share decline from 10% in June to 8% in July. Tamil and Telugu releases contributed consistently but did not produce a major hit during the month. Hindi films continue to dominate the box office, with five titles among the year's top 10 so far, excluding multi-lingual productions such as Mahavatar Narsimha. The industry's recovery has been supported by rising footfalls, higher average ticket prices and the continued preference of audiences for large-scale theatrical releases. With several high-profile titles lined up across Hindi, regional and Hollywood segments, trade expectations remain positive for the remainder of the year.
