The video has already gone viral on social media, and the child eventually left without receiving any cash.Since Amitabh entered the hot seat, the child has been seen speaking brutally to him in a video that has gone viral on social media. The child, Ishit Bhatt, is a fifth-grade student from Gandhinagar, Gujarat.A fifth-grade student from Gandhinagar, Gujarat named Ishit Bhatt participated in the Junior edition of KBC 17. After he said to Amitabh Bachchan, "Mere ko rules pata hai, isliye aap mereko abhi rules samjhane mat baithna" (I know the rules, so don't start explaining them to me right now), his segment swiftly became the buzz of social media. Even Big B looked momentarily surprised as the audience gasped.Ishit's demands and interruptions persisted as the game started. The boy interrupted Amitabh before he could complete reading the questions, saying, "Arre option daalo!" (Come on, show me the possibilities!) & "Sir ek kya, lekin lock karo, uss mein chaar lock lagado!" (Sir, make sure to lock it with four locks, not just one. Many were annoyed by his arrogance, while others found it amusing.Ishit firmly selected Ayodhya Kanda, which turned out to be incorrect, when asked, "What is the name of the first Kanda of the Valmiki Ramayana?"

The boy's tone was criticized by many people as being impolite and haughty. An individual commented, "Arrogance got schooled." Perhaps the parents will learn now. "Knowledge without manners is useless," another person said. Others, on the other hand, defended the boy, claiming that social media was being too harsh on a minor and that he was just overexcited.

Company Behind 'Bigg Boss Kannada' Takes Legal Action Against Premises Sealing and Contestant Eviction by Pollution Control Board

VELS Studio And Entertainment Private Limited, the host of the reality show 'Big Boss Kannada' at its Bidadi location, has approached the Karnataka High Court to contest an October 6 order from the State Pollution Control Board that mandated the immediate closure of the studio premises. The petition claims that the Karnataka State Pollution Control Board's action is arbitrary, illegal, and lacks jurisdiction, authority, and compliance with due process.It indicates that the closure order dated 06.10.2025 was carried out on the following day, 07.10.2025 (Tuesday), concerning the petitioner's property located in Bidadi, Ramanagara District, which contains the legitimate operations of VELS Studios and Entertainment Pvt. Ltd. The petition claims that the order was issued with complete disregard for natural justice principles, denying the petitioner a chance to be heard.According to the plea, the respondents have tried to suddenly stop ongoing television production activities, including filming the well-known reality show "BIG BOSS", while acting beyond their authority and with a clear intention to harm. Moreover, it is claimed that the timing and rush involved in passing and executing the order—occurring as they did at the same time as the launch and public broadcast of that show—demonstrate a conscious and intentional effort to disrupt the Petitioner's legitimate business activities and impede its commercial operations. Additionally, the plea argues that the order lacks details regarding the supposed pollutant, including its characteristics, concentration, and the method by which this pollution is alleged to have happened. Without these specifics, the order turns indistinct, capricious, and lacks justification. Moreover, the Respondent authority has not documented even minimal findings as mandated by law for a quasi-judicial order, thus breaching fundamental principles of natural justice.an industrial establishment or factory. According to Section 2(d) of the Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1981, an "environmental pollutant" is defined as any substance that exists at a concentration detrimental to human life. Data from laboratory or clinical tests must necessarily support such a finding. In the current case, no such data or test report has been used as a basis. The Respondent's actions have been based solely on assumptions, which has made the impugned order arbitrary and unsustainable.The plea requests that the closure order be set aside. Meanwhile, it is seeking a stay on the operation of the order from October 6 and a direction to the respondents not to disrupt the daily business carried out at those premises.

The wedding, marriage, divorce, and aftermath involving cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal and choreographer Dhanashree Verma have provided their fans with enough stories for a lifetime.

EXCLUSIVE: Following Saiyaara, Ahaan Panday has signed on for Ali Abbas Zafar’s action romance under YRF

Ahaan Panday was born on July 18, 2025, a star that the Indian Gen Z had been eagerly anticipating and wanting to support. His first role as an actor was in the film Saiyaara, which was directed by Mohit Suri and produced by YRF CEO Akshaye Widhani, with Aditya Chopra serving as the presenter. The movie, by becoming the highest-grossing romantic film in Indian cinema, created box office history and established its leads – Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda – as the bankable Gen Z talents that the industry desperately needed.Since Saiyaara was released, cine-goers, fans, and the film community have been continually expressing their desire to find out what Ahaan Panday will do next. Pinkvilla has now learned exclusively that Ahaan has secured his second film project with Aditya Chopra, which will be directed by Ali Abbas Zafar, known for blockbusters such as Sultan and Tiger Zinda Hai.According to a source, “Ali Abbas Zafar is working on an action romance with Aditya Chopra as his upcoming directorial project. Ali has captivated the audience with outstanding performances in dramas such as Sultan. Even in an action movie like Tiger Zinda Hai, he made the narrative engaging through the dramatic elements he added to the scenes. Ali aimed to return to his origins with his next film, revisiting the genre that had bestowed him so much affection. He was astounded to see Ahaan Panday and his presence in the emotional and dramatic moments of Saiyaara.The source adds, “Aditya Chopra was the one who advised Ali to choose Ahaan, as a film featuring a young star would enhance the element of surprise for the audience. According to Aditya Chopra, Ahaan’s lack of exposure is his greatest asset, as the success of Saiyaara will heighten anticipation for his next moves. In this film, which lacks a title as of now, Adi and Ali will reveal a completely different aspect of Ahaan’s acting by immersing him in a world where intense passion, romance, and action converge with hard-hitting drama.The source further informs, “The script is finalized and the music-seatings have already commenced. Ali Abbas Zafar and Aditya Chopra are aiming to start filming the movie in the first quarter of 2026.

The duo boasts a flawless record with a 100 percent HIT rate, and the Ahaan Panday film is anticipated to carry on their success.  

Homebound film critique: The movie featuring Ishaan Khatter, Vishal Jethwa, and Janhvi Kapoor fearlessly addresses disturbing realities

Homebound movie review: The film begins with two young men, Chandan and Shoaib, battling their way into a surging crowd, maneuvering from the periphery to the center, making room for themselves. The setting is a train station, from where they aspire to be carried away, longing for the ‘ijjat’ and ‘paisa’ that will grant them the dignity they have evidently been denied throughout their lives.The ‘ijjat’ and ‘paisa’ — respect and money — that Chandan Kumar (Vishal Jethwa) and Shoaib Akhtar Ali (Ishaan Khatter) crave are not the same as what the rest of us seek, armed with names that carry our family legacies: the former’s house has a ‘chhaprail’ with a widening hole that lets rainwater in whenever it rains; the latter's father requires surgery to be able to walk again. Directed by Neeraj Ghaywan and featuring Ishaan Khatter and Vishal Jethwa, the film Homebound has received critical acclaim for its fearless depiction of caste and religious discrimination against migrant workers, especially during the pandemic. The film, inspired by real events, showcases powerful and subtle performances, particularly from Jethwa and Khatter as they embody resilience and camaraderie in remarkable ways. Janhvi Kapoor is also commended for her measured and sincere performance. The film's powerful and poignant narrative is enhanced by its cinematic craftsmanship, including cinematography and editing, leaving critics and audiences profoundly affected.    

Movie review of They Call Him OG: Pawan Kalyan takes charge of OG in Sujeeth’s action film

They Call Him OG Movie Review & Rating: In Indian cinema, making films with superstars has never been more challenging. Take a look around, and you will see filmmakers today dashing about in search of characters, narratives, backstories, settings, and dilemmas that will set them apart from the next individual who is similarly hunting.In what now appears to be a game of tropes, some utilize the timeless Baashha (1995) trope of a reluctant hero confronted by his past, while others are fixated on the more modern KGF concept of a vast, mythical underworld teeming with ingenious figures. The Baahubali device, though its origins go back several decades, is quite useful in stories where a hero regains their throne due to fate, lineage, or prophecy. It wouldn’t be shocking if a narrative matrix, akin to a table that indicates possibilities and things to avoid, exists somewhere to assist writers and filmmakers in this world that is becoming more and more governed by algorithms.OG is enjoyable depending on the viewer's acceptance of fan-service sequences. The narrative offers little drama or depth. Essentially, it revolves around a recognizable gangster tale: the middle-aged main character comes back from exile to shield his family and face dangers to the city. This wide-ranging narrative has appeared in a number of recent Indian action films from various languages, resulting in a predictable aspect to the story even though it is skillfully carried out.By incorporating an origin story from Japan, OG gains a degree of novelty, permitting visuals inspired by anime and action choreography drawing on Aikido and various other martial arts. The meticulousness extends to the selection of font style for specific credits.  

Jimmy Kimmel is back with an emotional monologue: Trump, Charlie Kirk, and others

After a week-long suspension, late-night host Jimmy Kimmel made his TV comeback to enthusiastic applause. He delivered an extensive monologue filled with puns and sarcasm, addressing the shooting of Trump aide Charlie Kirk and Trump himself.Kimmel, with tears in his eyes and filled with emotion, stated that Trump “tried his best” to have him canceled and emphasized that he wasn’t attempting to make light of Kirk’s murder—comments that drew controversy on his show.The ABC star exited the stage to a hero's welcome and several minutes of applause before his 20-minute monologue. “To be honest, it was damaging to the ears,” said Kevin Winhard, a participant.Kimmel, who has consistently criticized Trump, addressed the controversial issue of the shooting of Kirk, a right-wing activist, directly in his opening remarks. “I know I can’t change anyone’s mind, but I want to clarify something for my own sake: Please understand that I never meant to trivialize the murder of a young man,” Kimmel said.Kimmel further stated, with his voice breaking, "Nor was it my intention to blame any specific group for the actions of what... was obviously a deeply disturbed individual. "The host of the late-night show, who has a huge global fanbase, became emotional while commending Kirk's wife, Erica, for her public forgiveness of her husband's murderer. Kimmel, with tears in his eyes, said, "I hope it can be that." Kirk, who assisted Trump in garnering support from young voters before the presidential election, was fatally shot while speaking at an event at Utah Valley University.Kimmel infuriated a portion of conservatives when he claimed on his program that Trump loyalists were "doing everything they can" to gain political advantage from the tragedy. Er warf zudem die Möglichkeit auf, dass Kirk von einem MAGA-Republikaner getötet worden sein könnte. Last week, after Republicans raised a clamor, ABC suspended Kimmel's show for an "indefinite" period. However, it had to permit 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' to restart production due to backlash from Hollywood stars, media hosts, and even Republicans like Ted Cruz.Kimmel infuriated a portion of conservatives when he claimed on his program that Trump loyalists were "doing everything they can" to gain political advantage from the tragedy.

However, there was no clarity because the couple have not confirmed the news of their rumoured pregnancy yet. Now, according to a new report shared by Bollywood Hungama, Katrina is apparently in her third trimester and the baby is expected to be delivered in late October. A source was quoted saying, “She is the third trimester of her pregnancy. The delivery is expected next month before October 15 and October 30. The actress and her hubby, Vicky Kaushal, prefer to keep it under wraps and probably want to announce about it after the birth of the baby.”This means that Katrina and Vicky’s baby could share a birthday week with another fellow star kid turned actor — Ananya Panday.For the uninitiated, Chunky Panday’s daughter and Ahaan Panday’s cousin sister Ananya Panday will turn 27 years old on October 30 this year.

On Wednesday night, the Delhi Police Special Cell and the Uttar Pradesh and Haryana Special Task Force (STF) shot and killed two gangsters who were suspected of shooting outside actor Disha Patani's Bareilly home last week.Gangsters Ravinder of Rohtak and Arun of Sonepat, who were both associated with the Rohit Godara–Goldy Brar gang, were slain in the Ghaziabad Tronica City encounter following more than a dozen rounds of gunfire from the police.The authorities claim that Arun was shot in the neck and chest, and Ravinder was struck in the chest. While receiving treatment, the two passed away from their wounds.Around 3:30 am on September 12, two men on a motorcycle opened fire outside of Disha Patani's Bareilly residence, sparking the start of the manhunt. A social media account connected to Goldy Brar's colleagues quickly took credit for the incident."In a joint operation of Delhi Police Special Cell, UP STF, and Haryana STF, two active criminals of Rohit Godara-Goldy Brar gang were injured in a shoot-out near Tronica City, Ghaziabad," said Pramod Singh Kushwah, assistant commissioner of police (Special Cell), providing details about the event.Both defendants were personally implicated in a firing incident that took place outside of Bollywood star Disha Patani's Bareilly home. According to investigators, CCTV footage taken close to Disha Patani's home allowed them to identify Ravinder. The UP STF then used criminal databases from Haryana and the national capital, including technical monitoring, to track movements across important routes in Bareilly and surrounding regions.The accused's arrival in Ghaziabad was confirmed Monday by a team headed by ACP Dharmender Singh and SI Manjeet Singh. The teams discovered that the accused had finally arrived in Ghaziabad and was attempting to flee at four or five in the morning. A trap was set close to Tronica City by the afternoon after their position was verified, according to a Delhi Police official.
