Bollywood got into the Halloween spirit on Sunday. On the occasion of Halloween 2021, celebrities were seen donning some spookiest and creative costumes. From Shilpa Shetty and Jacqueline Fernandez to Ali Fazal and Richa Chadha, everyone brought their A-Game.
Ankita Lokhande has never shied away from doing public display of affection for boyfriend Vicky Jain. She has been dating him for a while now and often shares photos with him on her social media. Now, in a recent viral video from a Diwali party, Ankita was seen dancing with Vicky.
However, the actor on October 30 shared several videos and photos from the party on her Instagram stories, but one video has grabbed the attention of the fans. In the video, the couple was seen sharing a passionate kiss.
Curently, Ankita is enjoying the success of the second season of Pavitra Rishta, which is currently streaming on ALTBalaji.
Earlier this year, the actor wrote an emotional note for Vicky Jain and thanked him for being there for her through thick and thin. Sharing a photo of herself and Vicky, Ankita wrote, “Dear vikki, You were there for me when times were tough. You were always the first person to ask me how I was doing, if I needed help in anything, or if I wanted to get away so that I could clear my head. You were always so worried about me, and I always told you that I was fine because I was knowing that I had you with me. I want to thank you for being the best boyfriend in the world. I don’t need to tell you what I need, but you always know what it is somehow.”
The actor, who was earlier in a relationship with late actor Sushant Singh Rajput, said she was not sure if she could find love again because of “all the heartbreaks and disappointments”.
“I used to think that I will never find happiness or love again because of all the heartbreaks and disappointments that I experienced in the past. But then I met you, and you made a believer out of me. We fell in love, and we were never the same people again. Thank you for coming into my life and making me the happiest girl in the world. Thank you for your love that inspires me to be a better person. Hats off to you vikki for all the support u provide. I promise to give you all the happiness u deserve. It’s important to appreciate your partner for what he is doing for you. Not every man can handle this situation the way u did. Thank you for everything. Respect and love forever,” she concluded.
Host Salman Khan on Sunday announced the eviction of Akasa Singh from Bigg Boss 15 house. The singer was nominated along with Simba Nagpal and Vishal Kotian. Due to her selective participation in the game, it was quite expected that she would get evicted this week.
While Akasa promised to add entertainment to the season, she was hardly visible in the game and it was only her closeness with Pratik Sehajpal that got her some limelight. However, fans were quick to claim that Akasa tried to replicate Neha Bhasin’s game from Bigg Boss OTT by bonding with Pratik.
The ‘Naagin’ singer also gained some footage in the house when she tried to hook up Donal Bisht and Vidhi Pandya in the initial days. Akasa was recently also seen trying to get Karan Kundrra and Tejasswi Prakash together.
With Akasa’s eviction, Pratik Sehajpal, Karan Kundrra, Tejasswi Prakash, Jay Bhanushali, Vishal Kotian, Simba Nagpal, IeshaanSehajpal, Miesha Iyer, Umar Riaz, Nishant Bhat, Rajiv Adatia and Afsana Khan are now in the race to lift Bigg Boss 15 trophy.
The much awaited film, Sooryavanshi, is all set to release in four days, on November 5. The excitement is sky-high but surprisingly, the advance booking hasn’t opened yet in many cinemas and especially in the national multiplex chains like Inox, PVR and Cinepolis. This is because the cinemas and the producers of the film are in negotiations over two aspects.
A source told Bollywood Hungama, “Before the pandemic, the revenue sharing model was fixed since 2009 and the film industry was following it to the T. But post pandemic, the producers have been asking for a larger share. Sooryavanshi’s producers have asked for 60% revenue in Week 1, 55% in Week 2 and 50% in Week 3 and 4, from single screens, standalone multiplexes and non-national multiplexes. As for the national chains, the negotiations are going on and it’s expected to not be as high as 60% in the first week. Both parties are expected to reach an agreement by today (Monday) evening or latest by Tuesday afternoon.”
The source added, “The single screens and standalone multiplexes have requested that they want the same terms of revenue sharing as the national multiplexes. A solution will be reached on this front soon. Those theatres which have 2k format can at least make it clear that in the absence of reasonable revenue sharing for Sooryavanshi, they’ll go ahead and give all their shows to Disney’s Eternals, which is also releasing on November 5. However, the non-2k theatres won’t have this choice as Hollywood films are not allowed to be released in such cinemas. Hence, they have no choice but to screen Sooryavanshi and are hoping that a solution is reached soon.”
The source continued, “Disney has asked for 50% revenue sharing in Week 1, 48% in Week 2, 45% in Week 3 and 40% in Week 4 in the case of Eternals. And as is the norm now, the cinema halls would also be expected to shell out 30% of the 3D premium with the studio.”
The other aspect where there’s no clear consensus is over screen sharing. The source revealed, “We have heard that Reliance has said that they want maximum shows of Sooryavanshi in multiplexes and nearly 100% of shows in theatres with 3 or less than 3 screens. This means that smaller theatres are not being allowed to show Eternals. Disney, on the other hand, has demanded at least some showcasing for their film in these theatres. It is going all out in making it clear to the exhibitors that Eternals is a big film and deserves to be played.”
The source remarked, “It is for the first time probably that we are seeing Disney go all out in ensuring that its film gets a good number of shows in cinemas. The success of the previous Marvel film, Shang-Chi And The Legend Of The Ten Rings, must have motivated them to do so. Also, they see immense potential in the Indian market and feel Eternals can be a good way to accelerate their road to the expansion of business in the country.” The trade source added, “Disney and Fox have an enviable slate in 2022. Hence, the exhibitors are wary of getting into their bad books.”
In the midst, the exhibitors are suffering. An exhibitor sighed, “Instead of these studios sitting across the table and solving the issue, they prefer to arm-twist us. We don’t want to hurt either Reliance or Disney and want to provide a reasonable number of shows to Sooryavanshi as well as Eternals. We are just waiting and hoping a consensus is met and also that revenue sharing is reasonable.”
The exhibitor also asked, “We never thought this problem would arise in the case of Sooryavanshi and Eternals. I now wonder what will happen in the week when Antim and Satyameva Jayate 2 would clash. And there are many more clashes taking place in the future.”
However, an industry insider assured that all will be well, “It’ll be a Happy Diwali for producers and exhibitors. This is not the first such instance and we are sure all the parties concerned would reach an agreement soon. These studios understand the plight and require theatres and the theatres also want these films to release so that they earn to their heart’s content, which they haven’t been able to since March 2020. Just give it some time and things will be fine.”
Apple outlined its objections to allowing app developers to link to third-party payment options ahead of a hearing next month that could determine whether a set of antitrust court orders is put on pause.
While the Bitcoin price remains above the $60,000 (roughly Rs. 45 lakh) mark, Dogecoin and Shiba Inu also continue their streak of adding gains to their values.

South Korean actress Jun Ji Hyun has turned 40 on October 30. The timeless beauty doesn’t fail to amaze - be it on-screen or off-screen. Married to Choi Jun Hyuk, grandson of famed hanbok designer Lee Young Hee and the son of fashion designer Lee Jung Woo, the actress as a son and is one of the most in-demand celebrity endorsers and the highest paid actress in South Korea.
While the acclaimed actress has quite impressive portfolio with only six K-dramas in it, her movie titles are double that number with a stamp of phenomenal success. Her big-screen projects do not just win awards but also the hearts of many moviegoers. A handful of Jun Ji Hyun's flicks reeled in millions of viewers and are listed in South Korea's highest-grossing films of all time- The Thieves and Assassination.
On that note, here are the prominent works of the sensational actress to look out for when you need a little more of Gianna Jun:
JIRISAN
Jun Ji Hyun has made her much awaited comeback with the mystery-thriller Jirisan which is currently being aired in South Korea. Set against the backdrop of towering views of Mount Jiri, where rangers and other employees of the Jirisan National Park climb through the mysterious and unexplored regions of the mountain, trying to rescue the survivors and lost trekkers. Seo Yi Kang (Jun Ji Hyun) is the park's top ranger who has vast experience in navigation, making her knowledgeable when it comes to tracking down lost individuals. The drama is centered on a mystery surrounding the mountain's many visitors; those who come to kill, and those who come to end their lives. It's also worth mentioning that Ju Ji Hoon, her current co-star in Jirisan, has also appeared in Kingdom (where she made a special cameo in season two and led its special episode, Kingdom Ashin Of The North).
LEGEND OF THE BLUE SEA
The fantasy rom-com marks the actress’ first drama after giving birth to her first child. Co-starring Lee Min Ho, the story is inspired by a historical tale about a mermaid contained in a short story anthology. The drama is basically how a mermaid from the Joseon era survives in modern society while she follows her one true love, a nobleman’s son named Kim Ryung from the Joseon Dynasty, to modern-day Seoul but encounters Ryung’s modern doppelgänger Heo Joon Jae, a highly skilled scam artist who first becomes interested in Shim Chung because of a jade bracelet worth $6 million that Shim Chung wears.
MY LOVE FROM THE STAR
The iconic character in K-dramaland, Jun Ji Hyun as Cheon Song Yi, gained the actress more followers internationally. The fantasy rom-com co-stars Kim So Hyun as Do Min Joon, an alien who landed on Earth 400 years ago during the Joseon dynasty period. He possesses a near perfect appearance and enhanced physical abilities involving his vision, hearing and speed. Later, he discovers that he has three months left on Earth. And that is when he meets Cheon Song Yi, the biggest Hallyu star in Korea (which she is in real life as well). Ji Hyun also won the Daesang (Grand Prize) at the esteemed 50th Baeksang Arts Awards for her role, and was given the President's Award for this series. My Love From The Star was not only a sensation in the Korean wave but also was a cultural reset across the world. The food pairing chimaek (chicken and beer) started a food craze; the drama's filming locations were frequented by tourists; and on top of that, the YSL lipstick that Ji Hyun wore in a scene caused a shortage. OMO.
ASSASSINATION
The 2015 historical crime drama film is one of the notable works of the actress. Set during the Japanese occupation, an agent tasked to assemble a group to assassinate a Japanese commander and a Korean collaborator by extricating three prisoners from Shanghai. However, the Japanese are tipped off, and a notorious hired gun is sent to take out the assassins first. The film is also one of the highest grossing films of all-time of South Korea.

Caught between his love of country and his wife, Jong Sung must quickly prepare to make the ultimate sacrifice.
MY SASSY GIRL
One of the highest-grossing Korean comedies of all time, Jun Ji Hyun’s best known role as "The Girl" in the romantic comedy My Sassy Girl is based on Gyun Woo is a college student, more interested in picking up girls, drinking with his buddies and avoiding his nagging mother whenever possible. While riding the subway, a drunken girl then changes his fate forever. She's nearly unconscious on the train and vomits on an older guy.

This is the first movie of the My Sassy Girl trilogy by director/screenwriter Kwak Jae Young. The second is the 2004 film Windstruck. The third is the 2008 Japanese film Cyborg She. They are unrelated except for having a sassy girl theme. Jun Ji Hyun is prominent for her award-winning films like My Sassy Girl, where she received the Best Actress trophy at the 39th Grand Bell Awards.
II MARE
The sci-fi romance film where Sung Hyun, who just moved into 'Il Mare' receives a strange letter. The letter is from a young woman in the year 1999, two years from the present. Her predictions about the past are amazingly accurate. Her warning about a flurry of snow on a certain day in January of 1998 and the ensuing flu virus turns out to be true. Eun Joo (Jun Ji Hyun) is convinced that her letter has travelled back in time to December of 1997 and starts writing regularly to her newfound pen pal. A professional voice actor, Eun Joo asks Sung Hyun to find her long-lost cassette recorder at a train station. Sung Hyun goes to the train station and gets a glimpse of Eun Joo, who of course, has no idea who he is.
WINDSTRUCK
This is the second of the My Sassy Girl trilogy by director-screenwriter Kwak Jae Young where Kyung Jin (Jun Ji Hyun), a police officer, on her day off, is forced back on duty when she is caught chasing down a bag-snatcher.

In the upcoming Weekend Ka Vaar episode of Bigg Boss 15, rapper Badshah will be appearing on the show as a special guest. He'll be joining Salman Khan on stage as well and entering the main house to meet the contestants. The previous episode saw Rohit Shetty and Bollywood actress Katrina Kaif who came to promote their upcoming film Sooryavanshi.
In the latest promo released by the channel, Badshah can be seen having fun with host Salman Khan. Badshah even asks Salman to say a dialogue from his film Hum Aapke Hain Koun. To which Salman Khan agrees and says the famous dialogue, "Log kehte hai Khoobsurat ladkiyan jab jhooth bolti hai to aur bhi khoobsurat lagti hai l'. To which Badshah replies: "Why do beautiful girls lie?"
Meanwhile, Badshah will be also seen playing a special task where the contestants have to give each other gifts. Well, Badshah's task will create a lot of heated arguments among the housemates. When it was Nishant Bhatt's turn to gift, he gifted a mirror to Karan Kundrra saying that according to him, his real side is coming out. To which Karan says, he doesn't care. Other contestants also start blaming each other and even the fight gets physical among them.
Actor Gulshan Grover released his autobiography in 2019, titled Badman, which traced the journey of a Delhi boy moving to Mumbai who faced several hardships in making his mark in Bollywood. Well, Gulshan Grover has achieved global success and accolades as a villain and his character of Badman is an unforgettable character. Now, the actor has even launched grooming products under his brand Badman.
In an exclusive interview with Bollywood Hungama, the actor talked about how does advertisement industry doesn't let famous villains endorse big brands as they think it'll tarnish the brand's image. Gulshan Grover says, "There are so many actors in our industry who are so good and emotional humans. They do so many roles including antagonists. Badman is in the industry, thanks to the legendary filmmaker Subhash Ghai. The role and film turned out to be a vision in his mind that the film gave me a second name. So much so that recently Amitabh Bachchan also asked a participant which antagonist's biography name is Badman. It became the talk of the town in the entire nation. But I never knew that name will become a brand one day."
He adds, "The most progressive fraternity is the advertisement fraternity having young talented minds who are well-educated and open-minded. At the same time, they are the most conservative ones. They feel if an antagonist endorses a big brand, it'll receive a lot of negative responses. There are rarely any famous antagonists endorsing big brands. Years ago, Gabbar, Amjad Khan sahab was the only one who endorsed it. Since then I haven't seen anything and it's been a huge break."
He later talked about his upcoming film Sooryavanshi which is slated to release on 5th November 2021. Talking about the film, Gulshan says, "The film is finally releasing and that too on the day of Diwali. I'm really excited about that. All these heroes in the film Akshay Kumar, Ajay Devgan, Ranveer Singh and even heroine Katrina Kaif, all these positive characters - for all of them - the reason or the motive to carry the film forward is me. I'm not the antagonist of the film. As the director of the film Rohit Shetty says that the vision of good and bad has been blurred for this character. What he feels is right might not be good for others. Not good for the people and the police which might take many lives. But, he feels his mission is correct."

The month of October is dubbed as the month of spooky treats, and K-Pop did give us some. With Aespa’s ‘Savage’ to KINGDOM’s ‘Black Crown’, there were some tracks which suited the overall vibe that October brings along. Even then there were some groovy and funky beats that can anyone get up and dance like SEVENTEEN’s ‘Rock with you’ and GOT7’s Youngjae’s ‘Vibin’. The October also gave us some powerful tracks like NCT 127’s ‘Favorite (Vampire)’, CL’s ‘Tie A Cherry’, EPIK HIGH’s ‘FACE ID’, and SUNMI’s ‘Go or Stop?’s.
Let’s take a look at some of the wonderful Korean song releases from the month of October.
NCT 127 – FAVORITE (VAMPIRE)
The group released the repackaged version of their recently-released third studio album ‘Sticker’ with ‘Favourite (Vampire)’ as the title track, accompanied by a stunning music video. It is a R&B pop dance track love song which can be characterized by its signature whistle sound and rich harmonies. The lyrics of the track dramatically portray the message that their lover is their everything and makes them happy, even when the relationship is heading towards a tragic end.
aespa – SAVAGE
aespa continues their voyage in Kwangya with ‘Savage’. The song is filled to the brim with electronic music and synth-bass beats. Hip-hop and rap are paired up perfectly for a sassy song like Savage. The quartet transform into cartoon characters for a while as well. The music video takes the Kwangya story ahead, but also leaves a new question in its wake.
WOODZ – WAITING
WOODZ’s ‘Waiting’ is a song that will make you bop to the beats. The song, despite the portrayal of despair and sadness, is a groovy number. He plays with the vocal verses and delivers a sad pop anthem.
CRAVITY – VENI VIDI VICI
‘Veni Vidi Vici’ is a powerful track through and through. The trap beats, paired with semi-electric music create an aura of triumph and success. The lyrics point out the negative behaviour from others and give a hard-hitting reply. Picking up the Latin phrase which means ‘I Came, I saw and I conquered’, Cravity makes an apt representation.
SUNMI – GO OR STOP?
Sunmi’s delves into the techno genre with her latest Go or Stop? Her rich vocals can easily entrance the listener, add to it these techno beats, and there is no coming back from that feeling. Go or Stop? feels as if it ended quickly because once you hear it, it will leave you wanting for more.
AILEE – Don’t Teach Me
AILEE comes and woos audience with her retro jazzy musical offering. The music video is as vibrant as the song. Don’t Teach Me is a song about unapologetic self love. The upbeat music is highly accentuated with the saxophone. Don’t Teach Me is a complete visual and auditory treat!
IU – STRAWBERRY MOON
When the title itself feels like something out of a fantasy world, how can the music video be far behind? IU delivers yet another lovable romantic number with Strawberry Moon. Listening to song, one is easily transported to a fantasy land where everything is just how one wishes.
CL – TIE A CHERRY
CL is a strong and powerful artist, as we know. She has carved her own niche in the hiphop world, and her latest music Tie A Cherry is only testament further to her reputation. The song is unapologetic and advocates self love. The rap verse is in a league of its own, and if you are a fan of hip hop and rap genres, then this song is a must have in your playlist!
CNBLUE – Love Cut
CNBLUE opt for a retro theme for their latest comeback song Love Cut. The song uses retro music and acoustic guitar to give it a cinematic feel. The song is about cutting off a toxic love, but the beats are just so groovy that one cannot help but dance to a beat or two. CNBLUE members dressed in cowboy costumes exude a rich visual treat in the music video.
KINGDOM – BLACK CROWN
KINGDOM paints a fantastical picture of power, battle and claiming one’s destiny. The song speaks about the area that is beyond simply good and evil, about something that is beyond comprehension. The choir music like tunes, clubbed with the deeper piano tunes cast a mystical glow in the song. The vocals are harmonized matching to the upbeat gusto of the song.
EPIK HIGH – Face ID
EPIK HIGH’s new song is just a delight for fans all over. The song release not only brought a new addition to their discography, but it also brought along the news of EPIK HIGH’s next album which is coming soon. Face ID features three guest rappers like Sik-K GIRIBOY, and JUSTHIS. The song is abundant with rap and verses that speak truth syllable after syllable. This epic collaboration sings a song about being real in a fake world, and presents the listeners with reality bites, EPIK HIGH style.

Bottom line is everyone including the agency knows nothing will come out of the accusations on Aryan khan son of @iamsrk and he will ofcourse be out once the tactical delaying processes are done with
Concerned agencies in good faith are using him as an advertisement board to shout out their objective for getting rid of the drug menace by saying “ if we are not even sparing @iamsrk ‘s son just imagine what we will do to you”
Contrary to what people are claiming about @iamsrk ‘s son being traumatised, I feel he’s being super sharpened due to the experiences he’s being made to go through by the NCB
Regarding the so called horrible conditions of the jail ,I am sure they would be far better than what @iamsrk had to many times endure during the course of his rise from being a nobody to be a super star
The @iamsrk made his son a super star just by being his father but NCB is making him a SUPER SENSITIVE ACTOR by showing other side of life not controlled by his father thereby making him understand ground realities to bring in terrificness into his performances and personality
