, the streamer's global fan event held on May 31 at the packed Kia Forum in Los Angeles, were treated to a flurry of announcements and exclusive content. However, those eagerly awaiting updates on
Bridgerton Season 4

Knives Out: Wake Up Dead Man

, the third book in the Bridgerton series, and Benedict's central love story. The early preview assures fans that while the show did not feature prominently at Tudum 2025, the series is progressing steadily behind the scenes.
Season 4 Arriving in 2026
Netflix confirmed that Bridgerton Season 4 will officially release in 2026, continuing the platform's commitment to adapting Julia Quinn's beloved novels. Season 4 marks the midway point in the streamer's previously announced eight-season plan, which aims to chronicle the romantic journeys of each Bridgerton sibling.

The show has been renewed through Season 6, cementing its long-term presence on the platform. With four siblings — Eloise, Francesca, Gregory, and Hyacinth — still waiting their turn in the spotlight, future seasons are expected to bring their stories to the forefront.
Familiar Faces and New Arrivals

New additions to the cast include Isabella Wei, Michelle Mao, and Katie Leung, who will portray members of Sophie Baek's stepfamily, adding new layers to the upcoming season's social and emotional landscape.
Absence at Tudum Doesn't Dim Hype
Although Bridgerton's main series was not showcased during Tudum's packed programming, fans can take heart in the teaser already unveiled this month. The lack of fresh footage at Tudum may have left some viewers curious, but the early look provided at Netflix's Upfronts, coupled with the confirmation of a 2026 release date, ensures anticipation remains strong.
As Netflix shifts its focus to blockbuster finales and high-profile premieres, the Bridgerton saga continues to unfurl its tale with quiet confidence, and Season 4 appears ready to waltz into its next chapter.

‘Saiyaara' and a nation in the mood for love

(NOTE: This article was originally published in the India Today issue dated August 4, 2025)No reels were shot. No interviews given. No city tours or visits to malls and colleges. Relying on its ballad-heavy soundtrack and the track record of director Mohit Suri (who has done most of the pre-release heavy lifting), a romantic drama featuring two newcomers—Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda—has sprung out of nowhere to create a mini tremor at the box office. Opening day collections? Rs 21.5 crore. Doubts about the figure being inflated or fudged were abound, but by the weekend of July 18, nobody could deny that Saiyaara, a new film about a young couple whose love is challenged when one of them develops early-onset Alzheimer's, is a smash hit. Rs 83 crore in three days! Records have already piled up: biggest opening weekend for a film featuring rookies, biggest opening for a romantic film in Indian cinema... With week one set to easily cross the Rs 150 crore mark, the film is destined to enter the Rs 300 crore club. That these numbers come at a time when the love story was deemed a deadbeat genre on the big screen has made this accomplishment all the more how did it happen? The key, as has been the case with many of Suri's previous romantic outings (Murder 2, Aashiqui 2, Ek Villain), may be the soundtrack, which not only complements his emotional narratives but at times also supercedes it. Saiyaara's album features fresh vocal talent like Faheem Abdullah, who has sung and co-composed the title track, which has busted the charts and has the youth singing Suri, 'If I have had a good musical record, it's because my education has been with a company that prioritised and paid attention to music and lyrics.' He credits his uncles Mahesh and Mukesh Bhatt, whose banner Vishesh Films gave him his big break, and adds, 'Music and romance go hand in hand. Tell me one love story that did well but didn't have good music. I like to have my ears to the ground, to stay in touch with what people are hearing and connecting to.' Earworms he's anchored like 'Phir Mohabbat', 'Tum Hi Ho' and 'Galliyan' still dominating the airwaves are proof that he knows what he's doing. MUSIC MEETS FILMJust a track record of successful romantic releases, however, didn't mean that Suri had an easy time selling the movie to producers. He conceived the film at a time when the genre was struggling to put bums on seats. The industry belief has been that ever since COVID-19, the audience has been content watching love stories from the comfort of their homes on OTT platforms and it is the adrenaline-heavy, larger-than-life action spectacles that are thriving on the big felt the void. It helped that he had just happened to see The Romantics, the Netflix documentary series tracking the origin and rise of Yash Raj Films (YRF). 'I was roaming around with the script and a lot of people were genuinely concerned about me and said that no one is going to make a film like this,' he says. Loosely inspired by Korean film A Moment to Remember, Suri wanted to craft a musical romance around a creative partnership—a hotheaded singer and a heartbroken writer who inspires him and he male lead, played by Panday] has bare raw talent who doesn't know what to do with it; [the female lead, Padda] has the words and knows how to channelise the best from him. They are soul mates but can't be together,' he adds. This dynamic is different from the one in his other blockbuster romance, Aashiqui 2, which was more supportive than did Suri know that Yash Raj Films, otherwise busy building up their Spy Universe, was on the lookout for a love story. To invest Rs 50 crore on a film with two twentysomething newcomers was a gamble they were willing to take. Casting director Shanoo Sharma, who has brought to Bollywood talents like Anushka Sharma, Ranveer Singh and Bhumi Pednekar, found the perfect pair in Panday (cousin of Ananya Panday) and Padda, whose earlier credit is a little-seen web series Big Girls Don't Cry. YRF was confident it had an ace up its sleeves with the genre it was once synonymous with—romance.'It meant a lot to me that mine was the film with which YRF wanted to come back to the genre,' says Suri. 'My education in romantic films was going to theatres and watching Yash [Chopra] ji and Adi [Aditya] sir's films. We all grew up falling in love with the kind of films they did.'advertisementInterestingly, the young leads were spared the burden of a promotional blitz. 'We wanted to take away those expectations,' says Suri. 'I think they have excelled. They have given it their all. They went all in, their hunger is there. They are more skilled and prepared than [we were when] we started out. They want their work to talk.'RETURN OF ROMANCEAnd talk it has, with 27-year-old Panday, particularly, being celebrated as the next big thing. Much chatter has been around how the film could portend the return of romance in Hindi cinema. After all, not since Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai, 25 years back, has a love story with debutants been embraced with such the crystal ball remains hazy. Kaho Naa... came at the tail-end of a decade of love stories, in which Shah Rukh Khan led the wave with his trademark outstretched arms. In recent times, the only other Hindi romantic film to have connected so feverishly with audiences was Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Kabir Singh (2019), with its wild-child of a hero leaving some audiences unsettled by his rage and Yet the industry appears hopeful. 'Thankfully, Saiyaara has made heads turn and made everyone realise that it's the big intrinsic idea that really drives the box office.... I hope it makes the industry realise that what we need is not one genre over and over again. We need to give audiences a variety,' says Akkshay Rathie, director at Aashirwad Theatres and a film exhibitor. Annukampa Harsh, a fortysomething writer who saw the film with her mother, says that Saiyaara is proof that 'the old school works.... We don't need 'modern' love stories. The only thing new about love today is how we seek it.'advertisementWhether any of the upcoming romantic films in the next few months (see Love is in the Air) will resonate the way Saiyaara has with the audiences remains to be seen. But what is clear right now is that Panday and Padda are two of the industry's brightest young stars basking in the success of a debut that could only have been written in the to India Today Magazine- Ends

Ragini Khanna admits a Koffee With Karan episode with Govinda would be ‘embarrassing but iconic': 'It would be a very discomforting...'

Ragini Khanna feels appearing on 'Koffee With Karan' with Govinda would be awkward. She cites their formal relationship as a reason. She acknowledges the episode would be entertaining. Ragini also addressed assumptions about her career due to Govinda's fame. She highlighted industry double standards. 'Koffee With Karan' is a popular celebrity talk show. What happens when you mix family ties with Karan Johar 's infamous couch? According to Ragini Khanna—plenty of awkwardness and iconic moments. The television star recently admitted that while she'd love to appear on Koffee With Karan alongside her uncle, Govinda , the episode would likely be 'embarrassing' and 'discomforting' due to their formal relationship. Still, she believes their contrasting personalities would make it unmissable content. Too formal for the couch When asked whether she'd rather take on a dance challenge with Govinda or appear on Koffee With Karan alongside him, Ragini Khanna leaned toward the latter—but with a twist. In conversation with Bollywood Bubble, she admitted that the idea of sharing the couch with her uncle would be extremely awkward and far from their usual dynamic, which is formal and reserved. Describing their relationship as more traditional and respectful, she felt the personal and probing questions typical of the show would make the episode deeply discomforting and embarrassing for both. Still, she joked, it would likely make for entertaining content, given Govinda's knack for reading between the lines. Earlier in an interview with Siddharth Kanan, Ragini slammed the assumption that being related to Govinda gave her an advantage in the industry. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Elegant New Scooters For Seniors In 2024: The Prices May Surprise You Mobility Scooter | Search Ads Learn More Undo She pointed out that while Govinda is a huge star, she isn't his daughter and doesn't enjoy the same privileges. Expressing affection for his children, Tina (Narmada) and Yashvardan Ahuja, she said they are like friends to her—but highlighted a clear double standard in the industry. According to Ragini, if someone suggested Tina or Yash take up television roles, they probably wouldn't, but someone like her would be expected to. She added that this mindset needs to change, questioning why television is still viewed as a step down from films. The show that gets everyone talking Koffee With Karan is a popular celebrity talk show hosted by filmmaker and TV personality Karan Johar. Produced by Dharmatic Entertainment, the digital arm of Dharma Productions, the show first premiered on November 19, 2004. Over the past 18 years, it has completed eight successful seasons, known for its candid conversations, rapid-fire rounds, and headline-making revelations. Ragini Khanna is widely recognized for her standout television roles, notably as Bharti in Bhaskar Bharti and Suhana Kashyap in the hit show Sasural Genda Phool. She showcased her dancing skills as a contestant on Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 4 in 2010 and later brought her comic timing to the forefront on Comedy Nights with Kapil, where she played multiple characters.
