When Anushka Sharma spoke about losing Best Debut Award to Asin: ‘She's already an actress; debut toh mera…'
In this viral clip, which is from an interview Anushka Sharma gave back in 2018, the actor shared, 'I'm very upset they didn't give it to me. Because, I made my calculation you know, main calculate karke gayi thi ki dekho abhi Asin ne yeh film Tamil mein bhi kari hai, Telugu mein bhi kari hai aur Kannada mein bhi kari hai, maybe, that Ghajini film. She's done it in all languages. She's already an actress, for many years. Obviously usko nahi denge! Debut toh mera hua hai, main nayi hun, maine nayi film mein kaam kiya hai. I need the encouragement. So I was convinced I'm going to get it. But they gave it to her. I was very sad, I was very upset.'
Anushka went on to add that she clapped for Asin as she walked to receive her award. But later, a heartbroken Anushka 'cried like a child'. Currently, both the actors are focusing on their family life. Asin was last seen in the 2015 film All Is Well. Anushka, on the other hand, was last seen in Qala (2022) in a cameo. Fans are now eagerly waiting for Anushka's next film Chakda 'Xpress, where the actor will be seen as cricketer Jhulan Goswami. There is no update about its release yet.

Internet furious as CBFC cuts Superman-Lois kiss scene. Fans ask 'they allow scantily clad Bollywood item songs—why?
The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) is once again at the centre of controversy after cutting a 33-second kiss between Superman and Lois Lane in the Indian theatrical release of the new 'Superman' film. While the film continues to draw crowds, many fans have taken to social media to criticise the decision, accusing the board of hypocrisy and cultural double standards. The outrage erupted shortly after the film began screening in India, with many viewers noticing an abrupt cut during a key emotional moment between the characters. Initial confusion gave way to anger when it was revealed that the edit had been mandated by the censor board. 'This kiss was part of the storyline. The way it was chopped off, it felt like a glitch in the theatre (sic),' wrote one viewer on X. 'Only later did I realise it was a CBFC cut. Sad! (sic)' Fans expressed frustration over what they perceive as a double standard in the board's approach to censorship. One user remarked, "Censor board is cutting off kissing scenes while item songs objectifying women—which cause way more harm in society—are allowed without issue. If he was pinching her navel and slapping her butt instead, suddenly it'd become sanskari for the censor board (sic)." Another user mockingly congratulated the CBFC by writing, 'Oh, bravo, CBFC! Cutting a 33-second Superman-Lois kiss to 'protect' us, while letting vulgar item numbers slide—truly a masterclass in cultural logic! Guess superheroes need to stick to punching, not smooching, in this oh-so-pure cinematic utopia (sic).' Others pointed out inconsistencies with recent Bollywood releases. 'Housefull 5's double meaning and vulgar jokes were fine though (sic),' noted one fan, while another added, 'But they allow scantily clad Bollywood item songs—why? (sic)' Some expressed disappointment on a storytelling level. 'The worst part is, she said 'I love you too'. Without seeing this moment, the story feels incomplete (sic).' The backlash has sparked broader criticism of the CBFC's cultural leanings. 'Dehati sanskari censor board members shouldn't have the right to decide for me what I can or cannot watch (sic),' wrote one angry user. 'If only the government spent this much effort and money on prosecuting sexual offenders.' Another added a satirical take with a pop culture reference. 'Butt-punching scenes are allowed, kissing 'spoils the youth' of the nation (sic),' adding a GIF from the viral 'Dabidi Dibidi' song from 'Daaku Maharaj'. Internet reactions to the censored kiss scene in Superman. As public sentiment continues to mount online, the controversy has reignited debates around censorship, artistic freedom, and cultural hypocrisy in Indian cinema. Whether the CBFC will respond or reconsider its stance remains to be seen.

The romantic drama, which released on Friday, has managed to earn a total of ₹1.2 crore (India net) over its first three days. Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan box office collection day 3: The film has been directed by Santosh Singh. Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan's box office report According to Sacnilk, the film collected ₹0.79 crore across its first two days — ₹0.30 crore on Friday and ₹0.49 crore on Saturday — showing a slight upward trend. However, on Sunday (Day 3), the film added approximately ₹0.41 crore more to its tally, bringing its opening weekend total to approximately ₹1.2 crore.

However, there was 0% occupancy for the night shows, which was likely due to limited or cancelled late-night screenings Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan's review HT reviewed Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan as a love story that can't see beyond its flaws. An excerpt from the review read, "There's a reason the Ruskin Bond story that inspired this, The Eyes Have It, was a short story: the longer the narrative stretches, the more it loses its grip. The film stumbles right at the start. A girl boards a train to an unknown place with a stranger and doesn't take off her blindfold even once? Sure, let's accept the suspension of disbelief. Move past that, and you're treated to a few beautiful locations and pleasant music. Unfortunately, that's about it. More about the film Santosh Singh directed the film, which was produced by Mansi Bagla and Varun Bagla. It hit theatres on Friday. Inspired by Ruskin Bond's acclaimed short story The Eyes Have It, the narrative centers on a tender romance between a visually impaired musician and a theatre artist.
