Poonam Dhillon about Neetu and Rishi Kapoor's marriage
In a recent conversation with ANI, Poonam Dhillon shared her experiences from those days, mentioning that by the time she entered the industry, Neetu had already taken a step back.
"They had just got married when I joined the industry. Neetu had more or less given up acting. I attended a wedding and had just entered films, but I didn't witness their romance, as I wasn't part of the industry at that time. I saw them later during Doosra Aadmi, because it was a Yash Chopra film with Rakhee.
I attended one or two shootings at Yash ji's house."

She described the atmosphere as warm and positive, filled with the Kapoor family's generosity.
Poonam fondly reminisced about the warm and welcoming atmosphere at Rishi Kapoor's Chembur residence. She shared that the Kapoor family often served delicious home-cooked Punjabi meals. "His wife was a legendary hostess. But you know that thing continued later when both of them were no more. If you went to his Chembur house, hospitality was always there.
Punjabi khana mostly." she added.
During her visits, Neetu would personally prepare and serve generous portions of food. Poonam recounted a moment when she asked Neetu not to serve her too much dal, but Rishi assured her that he would take some of it — and would then scoop the dal from her plate with his hands.

'Sorry, if I offended anyone..': Singer Liam Gallagher apologises for using racial slur on a social media post
Washington DC [US], July 4 (ANI): Singer Liam Gallagher issued an apology for using a racial slur in a now-deleted social media post earlier this week, reported The Hollywood Reporter. The 'Oasis' singer took to his X handle, where he wrote an apology for a since-deleted post he made on Monday using a slur used to mock East Asian people, per The Independent, as quoted by The Hollywood Reporter. "Sorry if I offended anyone with my tweet before it wasn't intentional you know I love you all and I do not discriminate. peace and love LG x," he wrote in the apology post. In the X post (that is still available to view via screenshots), Gallagher used the racial slur, to which one user wrote, "liam you can't say that." He replied, "Why," which was met with another user writing back, "Cuz its racist." The singer subsequently responded by writing, "Behave," as quoted by The Hollywood Reporter. According to the outlet, Gallagher's offensive post came shortly ahead of Oasis' long-awaited reunion tour, which will begin in Wales tomorrow. The English rock band announced the tour last September, first revealing dates for the U.K. before announcing dates in the U.S., Canada and Mexico soon after, reported The Hollywood Reporter. The band recently revealed they would be releasing an accompanying film tied to the concerts as well, directed by Steven Knight. The Gallagher brothers' relationship has been notoriously fraught in the past, with the group officially breaking up 15 years ago, making their reunion tour one of the most anticipated concert tours of 2025. After two shows in Wales, Oasis will play 10 shows in England, three in Scotland and two in Ireland before they finally start the North American leg in Toronto on August 24th. (ANI)

Who is Namit Malhotra? The brain behind Ranbir Kapoor and Yash starrer Ramayana, India's most expensive film, he has won 8...
Finally, after a long wait, the teaser of Nitesh Tiwari's much-awaited project Ramayana was released on July 4, 2025. With a reported budget of ₹835 crore, Ramayana is set to be one of the biggest films Bollywood has ever produced. The mythological saga features Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi, and Yash in key lead roles. While Ranbir will play Lord Ram, Sai will essay the role of Sita, and the role of Ravana will be portrayed by Yash. As the epic saga is set to hit the big screens on Diwali 2026, let's take a look at the man who is the brain behind this masterpiece. Who is Namit Malhotra, Ramayana's Producer? Namit Malhotra comes from a family of film producers and cinematographers. While Namit's father, Naresh Malhotra, was a producer, his grandfather, M. N. Malhotra, was a cinematographer. Namit completed his education in computer graphics and then started his own company called Video Workshop. His co-founders were his teachers from college. Interestingly, the editing studio they created was based out of his father's garage. The company worked on shows like Boogie Woogie, Gaatha, and also provided post-production facilities for Channel V. In 1997, Namit decided to merge Video Workshop with his father's film production and rental business, creating Prime Focus. The company initially offered technological and creative services for television shows and films before expanding into film production with projects like The Hurricane Heist and later Brahmastra Part One. In 2014, Prime Focus merged with Double Negative, a UK-based VFX studio, to form DNEG. The company specializes in visual effects and has worked on films like Blade Runner 2049, Tenet, and the two Dune films. In an interview with Hindustan Times, Namit shared his vision for Ramayana. He said, 'I'm keen to not just make India proud but excite the world about Indian storytelling and really celebrate global cinema together. It's not like we don't like Hollywood films. It's not like we don't see an Oppenheimer and have a great feeling, or a Forrest Gump, or any of these landmark films.' He further added, 'Their stories are universal. I believe this is universal, too. This is that opportunity that I believe I'm pretty fortunate to have received in my life, and I hope I can deliver.'
