In an interview with Mashable India, Wamiqa recalled that Shah Rukh, who had worked with Atlee in his Hindi film debut Jawaan, came for the Muhurat of the director's next, Baby John.
Shah Rukh's presence captivated everyone while Wamiqa and her brother, Hardik, stood at the back, discussing what would they say if Shah Rukh approached them. Her brother jokingly suggested, 'Nas kaat de,' and they laughed.
Just before leaving the sets of Baby John, Dil To Pagal Hai actor came to meet Wamiqa to wish her luck and say good bye. What happened next?
'He said 'okay, bye' and I said, 'It was so nice meeting you, sir, my brother was suggesting I cut my wrist but obviously I won't do that.' There was a pin-drop silence for 10 seconds. Everyone went quiet, and he (Shah Rukh) left. After he left, a person from the production came running to me and was like, 'Did you just talk about cutting your wrist?' My brother was shocked. I honestly thought he (Shah Rukh) would get the humour, but he didn't," Wamiqa said.
Starring Rajkummar Rao and Wamiqa Gabbi, Bhool Chuk Maaf, is all set for its theaters release on May 23. Directed by Karan Sharma, the film had run into controversy after producer Dinesh Vijan announced that the movie will skip its theatrical release on May 9 and get a digital release on Prime Video on May 16.
It was due to the heightened security drills across the nation following Operation Sindoor. The multiplex chain PVRINOX had moved the court challenging its producers' decision to release it on Prime Video directly.

Criminal Justice season 4: Big update on remaining episodes. When and where to watch
Criminal Justice Season 4 has all the ingredients of a gripping legal thriller—twists, tension, and the ever-reliable Pankaj Tripathi in top form. But while the courtroom drama is heating up on-screen, a very different drama is unfolding online. Fans, who were thrilled when the new season premiered on May 29, are now fuming over JioHotstar 's weekly release strategy, which drops just one new episode every Thursday. The first three episodes were released on May 29, however, from episode 4 onwards, each episode will be released after a week to create more anticipation around the series. Unlike platforms like Netflix or Prime Video that typically release entire seasons in one go, JioHotstar's decision to stretch the fourth season week by week has led to growing frustration. Viewers took to social media to vent, saying the slow rollout is killing the thrill of the show. The new episodes will be released on the streaming app every Thursday. This means that the next episode will be released on June 12. Netizens react to weekly episode release One fan expressed their frustration on X after starting Criminal Justice Season 4, saying the initial mood was perfectly set, but the excitement quickly faded upon realising that only three episodes were available. They questioned JioHotstar's weekly release strategy, calling it less like a gripping legal thriller and more like 'episodic torture' for loyal fans eager to binge. — irfan_speak786 (@irfan_speak786) Another fan called the three-episode drop a major letdown, pointing out that waiting every Thursday for just one new episode kills the momentum and excitement of the show. — rajputabhiraj09 (@rajputabhiraj09) Echoing the sentiment, a viewer who had been waiting nearly a year for Criminal Justice Season 4 vented their frustration, slamming the weekly rollout as a disservice to loyal fans. They criticised JioHotstar and the creators for stretching the release and dragging out the experience instead of allowing viewers to immerse themselves fully in the story. — akshayjanagoud (@akshayjanagoud) About Criminal Justice season 4 The backlash is a testament to just how invested audiences are in the journey of Madhav Mishra , the soft-spoken but razor-sharp lawyer played by Pankaj Tripathi. In Season 4, he takes on a sensational murder case involving a politically influential family. What starts as a simple defence soon morphs into a courtroom chess match, with secrets, manipulation, and high-stakes drama at every turn. Directed by Rohan Sippy and produced by Applause Entertainment, the show has consistently won praise for its grounded storytelling and layered performances. Viewers can catch new episodes of Criminal Justice: Adhura Sach Season 4 every Thursday on JioHotstar.
