Story: Prince is on the lookout for his perfect match, but his very popular bride might not be ideal for him
Review: Prince and Family, helmed by debut director Binto Stephen, is yet another social comedy, that tries to use Dileep's 'vintage charm'. Maybe it is time for Dileep to move to more contemporary characterisations, particularly when the issue discussed is very topical. And it is definitely not a Dileep-Dhyan Sreenivasan movie; why the latter actor makes an appearance in the bit part is puzzling.
It is a typical good guy marries 'bad girl' story. Dileep is the titular Prince, a small-town, but very popular boutique owner and the oldest of three brothers. The bane of his life is that he, with his various conditions for what his wife must be like, remains unmarried, while his brothers are married and start families.
After a couple of missteps, Prince takes the plunge, or is rather just thrown, into a strange marriage that leaves him confused and unsettled. Will the partners, who are complete opposites, make it through?
The film looks at some important, pertinent issues of today, namely the use and abuse of social media, particularly in light of the recent suicide by influencer Misha Agarwal. It shows how tied youngsters are to public opinion and how this has a bigger hold over them, than family, community and even basic etiquette and morals.
Writer Sharis Mohammed builds up some satirical scenes that are comedic for being true to life. But the writing and direction feels choppy in quite a few areas, with some situations not playing out in full, such as when the young bride's grandfather passes away. Also, the climax feels so typical.
The most standout thing about Dileep is Sameera Saneesh's costumes. Otherwise, he plays that typical good guy, responsible husband, caught in 'humorous' situations. Also, the actor is a less energetic version of his old self. And, there is the mandatory allusion to his real-life situation, where Johny Antony's character, who plays Prince's friend, says something about how everyone will believe what they hear on social media.
A special mention to the female lead. She has done a vibrant, no-holds barred portrayal of her character.
For those who enjoy the typical Dileep brand of comedy, Prince and Family will provide enough laughs. But it might not be enough to engage everyone.

Prince Harry ‘Feels Alone' In California With Meghan Markle, Misses UK Friends: Report
Last Updated: The Duke of Sussex is feeling 'desperately lonely,' largely cut off from longtime friends and family, and struggling to find meaningful companionship in California. Prince Harry may be living in a $14 million Italian-style mansion in California with his wife Meghan Markle and their two children but behind the gates life is far from idyllic for the former royal family member, it was reported. NewsNation reported, citing unnamed sources, the Duke of Sussex is feeling 'desperately lonely," largely cut off from longtime friends and family, and struggling to find meaningful companionship in California. 'He doesn't really have any real friends in the area except for polo star Nacho Figueras, and Nacho travels constantly for matches," a friend told the outlet, adding, 'He spends a lot of his time chilling with his bodyguards." Prince Harry is said to remain close with a few of his inner circle from the UK, including Guy Pelly and Mark Dyer but the distance and time zone differences make regular contact difficult. The source said as per the outlet, 'There's no one else for him to hang out with besides Nacho, Meghan, and the children." The UK royal's social circle has narrowed since stepping back from official duties and relocating to the US in 2020, the report claimed, citing a friend who said, 'It's hard to forge deep friendships when you're older especially when you're wary of people leaking things to the press." Another source compared Prince Harry's exile-like existence to that of his great-great-uncle Edward VIII, who abdicated the throne for love and lived out his days abroad with Wallis Simpson. 'It's like history is repeating itself," the friend said. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have remained in the public eye through Netflix deals, books and public appearances. Although behind the scenes, Prince Harry is also said to have been frustrated over delays in securing British passports for his children, Archie and Lilibet. 'Meghan wishes her husband could feel less burdened by the past and more present in the life they've built together," a source told People Magazine. First Published: June 06, 2025, 21:08 IST

Prince Narula Challenges Elvish Yadav, Rajat Dalal To Meet In Gurugram
Last Updated: During the MTV Roadies XX finale, Prince Narula and Elvish Yadav got into an ugly altercation. The rivalry between reality TV stars Prince Narula and Elvish Yadav has escalated dramatically following their intense fallout on MTV Roadies XX. What began as on-screen tension has now spiralled into a full-blown public feud, capturing the attention of fans across the country. The controversy erupted during the Roadies XX finale, where Elvish's gang emerged victorious. However, instead of a celebration, the moment was overshadowed by a heated altercation between Prince and Elvish. The two exchanged sharp and controversial remarks, and footage of their clash quickly went viral on social media. Soon after, Rajat Dalal, a close friend of Elvish Yadav, entered the scene. He shared a video on his Instagram claiming that he helped both Prince and Elvish settle their differences after a major argument on the Roadies set. But things have now taken an unexpected turn. Recently, Prince shared a fiery video on his Instagram Stories. In the video, he directly challenged Elvish and Rajat to meet him in Gurugram on June 4. He said, 'Gurugram ke baad hum aa gaye hai Wazirabad mei (After Gurugram, we've come to Wazirabad)" He continued, 'Na toh tu Gurgaon aaya, na Wazirabad. Mere ko pata hai tere mein dum nahi hai, na tu aayega. (You didn't come to Gurugram or Wazirabad. I know you don't have the guts, and you won't come)." Prince captioned the post with: '4 tarik humare taraf se done. Jo kaha tha, kar diya (June 4 is done from our side. We did what we said)." According to TellyChakkar, Rajat responded by gathering his friends to face the situation. Later, Prince said that neither Rajat nor Elvish showed up. Prince posted another video saying, 'Humne dekh liya tum mein kitna dum hai (We've seen how much courage you actually have)." He added, 'Tum mein se koi nahi aaya. Humne subah se wait kar li. Ab yeh controversy yahin khatam. Iske baad hum koi jawab nahi denge. Ab apna kaam karo kyunki pata chal gaya kitne paani mein ho tum (None of you came. We waited since morning. Now this controversy ends here. We won't respond anymore. Go do your work, now we know your true worth)." While things are not looking to die down soon between them, Elvish recently, in an interview with Pinkvilla, shared his thoughts on the ongoing feud. He said he doesn't hold grudges and doesn't carry negativity in his heart. Elvish further said that he and Prince are very different people. So, he doesn't feel that there is any need to sort things out now. First Published: June 05, 2025, 17:41 IST

Yuvika Choudhary on registering her marriage 7 years after wedding with Prince: We had to do it for our daughter
"We tried at least three times, but it always got delayed," Yuvika Chaudhary shares with a laugh as she reveals what took her and Prince Narula to officially formalize their marriage. Speaking to us, the actor-couple, who tied the knot on October 12, 2018, took to their vlogs three days ago (May 27, 2025) and shared that the delay was due to their constantly clashing schedules and that now they are officially married. "My mom even booked a slot for us, but every time Prince was either traveling or shooting for Roadies. Time never matched. He would start the paperwork, fill out the forms, but he just didn't have the time to finish," reveals Yuvika. It wasn't until the couple welcomed their daughter that the urgency truly kicked in. "Now that we have to travel and documentation has to be very strong, we couldn't delay it any longer. We had to do it legally. It was on the priority list," she says. "We could have finished this before, but our timings never matched. And then, after our daughter came, everything just started aligning. It's like it was meant to happen now. She came, and then everything started falling into place," shares Yuvika, adding, "We are responsible parents now and needed to finish it. It's not good to delay such things." Sharing her excitement after officially registering the marriage, Yuvika says, "I told Prince, 'Now I'm officially going to use your surname,' and he felt so happy." She adds, "It was important for documentation, yes, but it also gave a new kind of completeness." Talking about their bond, Yuvika shares how they celebrated the big step. "We didn't throw a big party or anything. Har pal celebration hua, with our kind of masti—laughing, eating, pulling each other's leg. That's how we celebrate—through love and humour." Adding, she says, "Our daughter will get to see all this—how her parents laughed, lived, and loved." Addressing the divorce rumours and how they affected her and her family, Yuvika says, "Trolls will talk. It's a part of life now. But I don't focus on that. You don't know the real story behind what we are shooting, and then you make comments based on what you suppose is correct." The 41-year-old actor further adds, "I have such a beautiful life going on. I don't want to spoil it by giving importance to negativity. I post my content, but I don't go through the comments, especially the trolls—I ignore them. That's the main reason we haven't shown our daughter's face. Troll us if you want, but don't drag children and families into this. If you have a problem, talk to me or Prince. We are public figures, not our parents, not our child." "In many areas, people don't register marriages, but for me, it was important. Being Indian and being in the public eye, we must respect the government and the legal system. Now that we are parents, it's our responsibility to make sure everything is done properly. This was not just my decision, but Prince's too. We both wanted to get all the papers and documentation sorted out legally. It's the right thing to do," concludes Yuvika. Speaking about today's generation and how they view relationships, Yuvika feels times have changed drastically. "I see so much confidence and clarity in the younger generation. They know what they want at a very early age. But patience is lacking. Nobody wants to go through the struggle. But struggle is important—it builds you. Without pain, you can't understand your own strength." She expresses concern about the trend of avoiding responsibility. "Everything is about 'me time' now. No one wants to be responsible for anyone else. That's why there are so many weird terms—situationships, benching, ghosting. No one wants to commit. It's like they're constantly changing ships—friendship, situationship, whatever—without actually sailing in one."
