Laughter Chefs 2 Promo: Is Ankita Lokhande pregnant? Krushna Abhishek teases 'Aaj hamare ghar mein aaraha lalla hai...'
Laughter Chefs season 2 is heading for a grand finale and the last episode of the show was recently shot in Mumbai. The finale episode was graced by
Sonali Bendre
and Munawar Faruqui, who came to promote their upcoming show, Pati Patni Aur Woh. Adding to the excitement, the channel's official Instagram handle has now unveiled a fresh promo — featuring a surprising twist as
Ankita Lokhande
announces her pregnancy on national television.
In the latest promo,
Krushna Abhishek
asks Chef Harpal Singh Sokhi about the mystery ingredient that would give their dish a Middle Eastern twist. He claims he already has it. Just then, Ankita Lokhande enters, saying she's found the ingredient and calls it 'Borkut.' Known for his funny antics, Krushna snatches it from her and starts running with the ingredient. Ankita also doesn't stop and she chases him. But midway, she suddenly stops and announces that she can't run anymore as she's pregnant.
A visibly stunned Krushna turns around and asks her in surprise, 'Wait… is that true?'
Ankita starts blushing and smiling and Krushna teases her calling Borkut. This makes Ankita burst into laughter. Krushna sings, "Aaj hamare ghar mein aaraha lalla hai..." Karan, who is passing from there, overhears and asks them if it is true. He asks, "Hain lalla?"
Krushna doesn't stop his leg pulling and once again teases Ankita and calls her husband Vicky Jain 'borkut'.

Kamal Haasan receives a global honor; invited to the Oscars voting panel
The Oscars, eagerly awaited by film fans around the world, are considered the highest honor in the film industry. According to News 18, the Oscar administration has directly invited actor Kamal Haasan , the philosopher and multi-talented artist of Indian cinema, to be part of the voting committee that selects the films for this award. This is considered a very happy milestone in his film career. Kamal Haasan's inclusion reflects his global standing. Previously, only A.R. Rahman, Resool Pookutty, MM Keeravani, and SS Rajamouli from India had the opportunity to directly touch the Oscars. Kamal Haasan's invitation to such an event is seen as a testament to his decades of experience, dedication to the art form, and global recognition. It is also noteworthy that although he has already submitted seven films for the Oscars, none of his films have been selected for the final round. Kamal Haasan's addition now elevates Indian cinema. It is noteworthy that actor Suriya received a similar invitation to join the Oscar panel in 2022. Now, the fact that Kamal Haasan has also gotten such an opportunity has added pride to Indian cinema. His vast experience and internationally acclaimed talent may be the reason for this invitation. Kamal Haasan is an artist who treats cinema not as a hobby but as a reflection of life. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 안구건조 걱정 없이 안전하게! 강남아이원스안과 지금 신청하기 Undo The Oscars believe that he has a deep understanding of cinema in many dimensions and that he is able to select films for the award with the right perspective.

Bollywood's Jam-Packed July: A Month of Overlapping Releases, Big Stars, and Last-Minute Shifts
Bollywood is bracing for an exceptionally crowded July 2025, with numerous high-profile films vying for screen space. The month features a diverse lineup, including action flicks, romantic dramas, and Hollywood blockbusters, leading to intense competition among releases. This congestion creates logistical challenges for exhibitors and distributors, potentially overshadowing mid-budget films and intensifying the pressure for immediate box office success. The month of July 2025 is turning out to be one of the most overcrowded and competitive periods in recent Bollywood memory. What was already a crammed calendar of high-profile releases has now become even more congested with the last-minute inclusion of Nikita Roy, a thriller drama that was originally slated to release on 27th June but has been pushed to a later July date due to lack of screen availability. The film's sudden shift just a day before its intended release reflects the intense tussle for theatre space this month. Exclusive | Kajol CANDID On Horror Fears and Son Yug's Voice Debut In 'Karate Kids: Legends' A Traffic Jam of Releases July kicks off with a clash that already had audiences divided and exhibitors anxious. On July 4, two very different films hit the screens — Akshardham, starring Akshaye Khanna, and Metro ... In Dino, directed by the ever-reliable Anurag Basu. Akshardham is based on Operation Vajra that took place when terrorists had taken control of a section of Akshardham temple in Ahmedabad -Gujarat back in 2202. Metro... In Dino marks Basu's return to the ensemble relationship-drama genre, with an all-star cast of Aditya Roy Kapur, Sara Ali Khan, Ali Fazal, Fatima Sana Sheikh, Pankaj Tripathi, Konkana Sen Sharma, Anupam Kher and Neena Gupta and soulful soundtrack. Just a week later, on July 11, audiences will be met with another double feature: Maalik, featuring Rajkummar Rao in an out n out commercial action film and Aankhon Ki Gusthakiyaan, a romantic musical starring Vikrant Massey and debutant Shanaya Kapoor. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Doutor: Manter a massa muscular após os 50 anos depende deste hábito noturno Revista do Homem Saiba Mais Undo Both films cater to a very different set of viewers — one at youth and romance-loving audiences — but together they compound the already thin screen allocation. Mid-Month Madness: The Real Crunch The most loaded Friday of the month, however, appears to be July 18. The YRF-backed Saiyaara, directed by Mohit Suri and starring debutant Ahaan Pandey alongside Aneet Padda, is one of the studio's big bets for the year. Combining romance, music, and Suri's signature emotionally intense storytelling, the film was always expected to grab a large number of screens. However, with the newly rescheduled Nikita Roy starring Sonakshi Sinha and directed by her brother Kussh S Sinha also arriving on the same day, things have gotten even tighter. Its addition to the July 18 roster only deepens the mid-month congestion. Also releasing on the same day is Smurfs, an animated Hollywood feature that is expected to pull family and kids' audiences to the theatres, further splitting the box office pie. 'Zaheer & I Are...' Sonakshi Gets REAL About Married Life | Special Bond Behind 'Nikita Roy' Film A Blockbuster Finale: July 25 As if the rest of July wasn't packed enough, the final weekend of the month — July 25 — is poised to be a box office battlefield. Three massive films, all with significant star power and commercial appeal, are scheduled for release on this date. Leading the Hollywood front is Fantastic Four: First Steps, which features Pedro Pascal and Vanessa Kirby in pivotal roles. The superhero reboot is already tracking well globally, and its performance in Indian metros is expected to be strong. Going head-to-head with it is Son of Sardaar 2, starring Ajay Devgn and Mrunal Thakur. The sequel to the 2012 hit is expected to draw in the masses, especially in North India, where the original enjoyed immense popularity. Joining the fray is Param Sundari, a vibrant romantic-comedy backed by Dinesh Vijan and featuring the fresh pairing of Sidharth Malhotra and Janhvi Kapoor. Targeting younger audiences and families, this film will be fighting not only for footfalls but also for space in multiplexes dominated by big-ticket action and superhero fare. A Screen War in the Making The decision to push Nikita Roy to July 18 underscores a much larger issue that's becoming increasingly common in the post-pandemic Bollywood landscape — the lack of breathing room between big releases. With producers eager to capitalize on the school holiday window and pre-Independence Day weekends, July has become the default dumping ground for every film that couldn't find a release date earlier. This traffic jam has created logistical nightmares for exhibitors and distributors. Theatre owners are struggling to allocate screens fairly, and many films — especially mid-budget titles without major studio backing — are at risk of getting overshadowed. August: No Respite in Sight And just when one hopes for some calm after July's chaos, August promises to keep the momentum (and stress) going. Two of the year's most anticipated mega-releases — War 2, featuring Hrithik Roshan and Jr. NTR, and Coolie, a multilingual action extravaganza starring Rajinikanth and directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj — are releasing on the same day 14th August. . Coolie, which also stars Nagarjuna, Upendra, and has a special appearance by Aamir Khan, is generating massive pre-release buzz across South India and Hindi-speaking markets alike. On the other hand, War 2, a sequel to the 2019 blockbuster, is expected to be YRF's biggest release of the year, with high-octane action, a global backdrop, and cross-industry appeal. With such big titles queued up in August, the pressure on July releases to perform quickly — often within just the first weekend — is enormous. Any film that doesn't hit the ground running risks being wiped out before it has a chance to build word-of-mouth. The Takeaway July 2025 is shaping up to be a case study in what happens when too many films chase too little space. While the abundance of releases reflects a revived and vibrant film industry, it also highlights the urgent need for better planning, smarter release calendars, and perhaps even strategic collaborations between studios to avoid unnecessary clashes. For audiences, the month is a treat — an endless buffet of genres, stars, and stories. But for the trade, it's a test of agility, marketing muscle, and luck. With films like Akshardham, Metro... In Dino, Saiyaara, Param Sundari, and Fantastic Four all jostling for attention, only the strongest will survive the July juggernaut. And as the domino effect of delayed releases continues, July may only be the beginning of a bigger reshuffle looming across the industry.

'Squid Games Season 3 doesn't have a happy ending': Netflix show creator says the finale may leave viewers devastated
Squid Game is back for one last blood-soaked act. The third and final season of Netflix 's Korean megahit landed on 27 June, bringing new characters, twisted games, and an even bleaker worldview. For anyone hoping the series might soften with age — it doesn't. 'The tone is going to be more dark and bleak,' said creator Hwang Dong-hyuk in an interview with The Guardian , speaking through an interpreter. 'The world, as I observe it, has less hope. I wanted to explore questions like, 'What is the very last resort of humankind? And do we have the will to give future generations something better?' After watching all three seasons, I hope we can each ask ourselves, 'How much humanity do I have left in me?'' Squid Games was meant to end after one season Few remember now, but Squid Game wasn't built to last beyond one season. It was meant to be a single, contained story. That changed after the show shattered records for a non-English series and became a global obsession. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Maharashtra Mosquito Crisis Solved by Strange New Device (See How) Mosquito Eliminator Read More Undo 'He told us Squid Game was a limited series,' said lead actor Lee Jung-jae , also speaking to The Guardian. 'But because it was met with so much love from across the world, he had to do subsequent seasons.' Season two leaned further into the chaos, introducing eccentric characters like Thanos — a purple-haired addict played by rapper TOP — and Park Gyu-young's Kang No-eul , a North Korean defector who becomes one of the guards. Fans were split. Some were gripped. Others found it too much. Live Events A mirror, not a comfort blanket For its creator, Squid Game was always about holding up a mirror — not telling people what they wanted to hear. 'People like a happy ending,' said Hwang. 'I'm like that too. But some stories, by nature, can't have one. If you try to force one, the essence is compromised. If a story is holding up a mirror to something, then it's not always a happy ending. Squid Game is no exception.' Lee agrees that entertainment was never the sole point. 'The messages of Squid Game are very important,' he said. 'Instead of 'fixing' the narrative, we just wanted to make sure the message was conveyed. And of course it's a TV show – you have to provide entertainment. In season three, we have new games, new characters, twists and turns. It's going to be very entertaining – but with a message.' That message? A grim exploration of capitalism, retribution, and the fragility of morality under pressure. 'I was on a diet. There was no way to release the stress.' Lee, a veteran of Korean cinema, immersed himself fully in the role of Gi-hun, who transforms from a desperate everyman into something far more dangerous. 'Gi-hun is constantly pressed,' he said. 'He's very frustrated, because whatever he tries to do is just not working. If someone is pushed to that extent, even a good guy can change. It was intriguing to play a character who goes through so much change.' But filming wasn't easy. 'It was non-stop filming for about a year and two months,' Lee said. 'So it was draining, physically. But I could really immerse myself in Gi-hun. When I'm stressed out or physically drained, I usually have really good food and that cheers me up. But I was on a diet. There was no way to release the stress!' Violence that should still shock The new season continues the tradition of elaborate, violent deaths — glass-floor games, ledge drops, and executions remain part of the series DNA. But Lee hopes viewers don't just look away. 'I really hope that people don't become desensitised,' he said. 'All these characters have very tragic backstories. I hope people will focus on that and mourn their deaths.' Capitalism, critiqued and cashed in The irony hasn't been lost on fans. Squid Game, a show built on the horrors of late-stage capitalism, now has tie-ins with brands like Uber and McDonald's. Some have accused the series of betraying its own values. Hwang acknowledged the contradiction. 'For me and Netflix, we started out wanting to create a commercial product. It would be too far a stretch to criticise wanting to profit from something that criticises the capitalist system,' he said. 'No studio is going to want to create a story that's too critical of society. Having said that, if I felt [the partnerships] were too excessive, to the point where I felt it was damaging the spirit of the show, I might feel differently. But it wouldn't be right for me to tell Netflix not to do something. I don't have the legal grounds for that. I have had certain feelings about certain things, but I do not think it would be right for me to say exactly what, or to express my negative feelings.' The future: Not a dead end just yet While this is the final season of Squid Game, Hwang isn't closing the door completely. 'There's no saying we'll never do something again,' he said. 'I don't want to close the door – there are some threads left untied. If I were to come back to the Squid Game universe, I think I would come back with a spin-off.' He hinted at untapped storylines. 'There's a three-year gap between seasons one and two. While Gi-hun was on the search for the Front Man and the Recruiter, what were those villains up to? What do the pink guards do outside Squid Game? Those would be fun ideas to explore.' Hollywood eyes the franchise Reports suggest that a US remake is being explored by director David Fincher, known for Gone Girl and The Social Network . Hwang hasn't received formal word but is excited. 'I am a big fan – I watched a lot of his works when I was studying film. So if it's true, I welcome it with all my heart,' he said. Squid Game remains unrelenting. The third season refuses to give easy answers or cheap thrills. Instead, it offers a final look at how fragile morality becomes when survival is all that's left. Lee has one request: patience. 'People have been so curious. A lot of them come to me asking for spoilers. I keep telling them that if you want to have fun watching season three, you just have to hold still. It's coming.'
