Ranbir Kapoor Avoids Paparazzi, Gets Caught After Playing Pickleball
Looks like pickleball is Ranbir Kapoor's new favourite sport. On Saturday morning, the actor was spotted by the paparazzi in Mumbai as he reportedly stepped out after playing pickleball with his friends. He looked sporty in a white jacket and a blue scarf tied around his forehead. However, Ranbir seemingly avoided interaction with the paparazzi as he headed straight to his car.
Just a couple of days back, Ranbir was also spotted by the paparazzi as he arrived at Sanjay Leela Bhansali's office in Mumbai. He was also accompanied by his wife, actress Alia Bhatt. In the photos that surfaced on social media, the real-life couple was seen entering the Bhansali office. While Ranbir went straight inside the office, Alia paused and posed for the paparazzi.
It should be noted that Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt will soon be seen in Bhansali's Love And War, which will also star Vicky Kaushal in the lead.
Earlier this year, Ranbir talked about the project during a meet and greet event in Mumbai when he said, 'Love and War is something which is every actor's dream. To work with brilliant actors like Alia and Vicky and to be directed by the master – Sanjay Leela Bhansali. I worked with him 17 years ago. To work with him again, I can say this with so much of clarity that I haven't met a human being who works so hard, who understands characters, emotions, music, Indian culture, Indian value system, as much as Sanjay Leela Bhansali. Just to be on his set, it is tiring. It is long. The process can be a little daunting but eventually, as an artist, it is so satisfying. He really nurtures art. As actors, it's truly been amazing so far."
Love and War is scheduled for release on March 20, 2026.

Zareen Khan hilariously claps back at ageist troll saying ‘shaadi kar lo, buddhi ho rahi ho'
Actor Zareen Khan recently took to Instagram to deliver a sharp and humorous comeback to an ageist troll who commented on her post, saying, 'Shaadi kar lo, buddhi ho rahi ho' (Get married, you're getting old). Rather than ignore it, Zareen responded with wit and clarity—calling out the regressive mindset that views marriage as a solution to ageing or life's problems. In a new video, actor Zareen Khan advocated for women's independence and critiqued the notion that marriage guarantees happiness. Zareen Khan claps back at ageist trolls She went on to highlight how marriage is often positioned especially in Indian society as a cure-all for everything. Zareen questioned why, when someone is unproductive or "not doing anything" with their life, families often default to 'Shaadi karwa do' as a solution. 'How is that helpful?' she asked. 'If someone can't take care of themselves, adding another person to the chaos won't fix anything—it might just ruin two lives instead of one.' Zareen also pointed out that women's independence is still seen as threatening in many households. 'If a girl starts becoming too independent or opinionated, families panic and say, 'She's slipping out of our hands.' And again, the solution is: get her married.' Ending her statement with a reality check, she asked, 'Is marriage some kind of magic? From what I see, most marriages today barely last two or three months. So no, marriage is not the answer to every problem.' Zareen Khan's career Zareen Khan, who began her career with the 2010 film Veer opposite Salman Khan, has long faced public scrutiny, including unfair comparisons to Katrina Kaif. Zareen gradually established her own identity with performances in films like Housefull 2, Hate Story 3, and 1921. Apart from Hindi cinema, she has also worked in Punjabi, Tamil, and Telugu films. Zareen has often spoken out against body shaming and societal expectations. She was last seen in the 2021 film Hum Bhi Akele Tum Bhi Akele.

It is hard to elaborate without giving too much away, but the intended high point lacks both conviction and emotional weight. If there is a second part, it will need far sharper writing and more assured filmmaking.'
