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.

The Film Starring Shahid Kapoor and Kriti Sanon Maximizes Valentines Day
On the sixth day of Valentine's Day, Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya, starring Kriti Sanon and Shahid Kapoor, made ₹ 6.75 crore at the domestic box office, according to Sacnilk. The first Wednesday of the movie's release, February 14, had a better box office report than its day five collection. The report also stated that the Amit Joshi and Aradhana Sah film earned ₹ 3.85 crore on Tuesday. The film has made ₹ 41.35 crore total. The protagonists of Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya are an engineer named Aryan Agnihotri and a robot girl named Super Intelligent Female Robot Automation (Sifra). Rakesh Bedi, Ashish Verma, Dharmendra, Dimple Kapadia, and Rakesh Kumar all had prominent roles in the film. Maddock Films and Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya collaborated on the film's production.The producers held a special screening of Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya in Mumbai prior to its official release. Mira Rajput, the spouse of Shahid Kapoor, was present. On her Instagram Stories after the film, Mira thanked her husband Shahid and the Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya crew. She wrote, "Complete laughter riot" for the film. Overwhelming entertainment after a long time. Love, joy, dancing, masti, and a moving message at the conclusion." "You were pitch perfect," Mira said in reference to Kriti Sanon's performance, and she called her husband Shahid Kapoor "The OG lover boy.""What Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya wants to drive at becomes amply clear when the single hero tells his married male friend that the robotic woman who has strayed into his life is better than a nagging wife," wrote film critic Saibal Chatterjee in his NDTV review. Because they think a woman needs to be designed to follow orders, neither of the two blinks when that statement is made. If it gives you any comfort, the two men aren't completely toxic, even though they may be self-centered.These characters star in a sloppily drawn comedy of manners that is openly and shamelessly sexist, a mash-up of an irritating Kabir Singh and a nonsensical Pyaar Ka Punchnama.

The hero's best friend Monty does exactly that .BFFs have been doing it for decades to make the hero look good, see: when will this oldest crackling device be thrown out?. Shahid Kapoor is a good lover. His act can be practiced and practiced, but when it comes to the pyaar-vyaar thing, you can still go ahhh. And that's even when he's with his latest object of adoration, Kriti Sanon's Sifra, a super-intelligent robot that looks and feels human. But, and here's the thing, that's only true sometimes, because Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya, a long-winded film that feels even longer, the big plots are just so confusing. A mix of genres, full of tropical characters: science fiction meets lush romance and a loving Indian couple. Kya yaar..
Hrithik Roshan-starrer Fighter crosses Rs 337 crore mark worldwide, actor says Never seen a movie put up a fight like this one
The Hrithik Roshan-Deepika Padukone action drama crossed Rs 337 crore worldwide on Monday. Directed by Siddharth Anand, Fighter is flying high. The film's starrer Hrithik Roshan said the aerial action-drama has "taken off" to Rs 337 crore 18 days after its release. After crossing the Rs 300 crore mark in 10 days, Fighter, which also stars Deepika Padukone, continued its momentum to collect Rs 337 crore worldwide on Monday, according to the latest announcement from the makers. “I've never seen a film survive such a battle! Proud of you FIGHTER!” wrote Hrithik on his Instagram about the milestone release of Story's Fighter. Fighter, which released a day before Republic Day on January 25, was made on a budget of Rs 250 crore. The film earned Rs 24.60 crore on its first day and had a total occupancy of 21.17 percent in Hindi. It has faced challenges at the box office in recent weeks..According to trade website Sacnilk, Fighter grossed Rs 0.76 crore (estimated) from February 12, taking the domestic total to Rs 197.66 crore. Fighters gather around the Balakot airstrike by the Indian armed forces near the city of Balakot in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan. This airstrike against the alleged largest camp of the terror group Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) was in response to a terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir that tragically killed nearly 40 CRPF soldiers. Anil Kapoor, who plays Captain Rakesh Rocky Jai Singh in Fighter, shared the news on his X account (formerly Twitter). “Flying more than 337 million gross flights worldwide in ticket revenue. India 243+ crore GBOC, Overseas 94+ crore," reads the post shared by the actor. He captioned it, "Fighter Forever (Indian flag emoji).". So the first feeling when you hear the poignant references to Pulwama, the convoy takes off and "ghar mein ghusna" is one of longing. Why can't Bollywood think of a new enemy? Or is it too much work? I don't know about you, but I'm sick and tired of sharp-eyed terrorists lashing, snarling, shooting and smiling somewhere in Pakistan. Even a new face as the antagonist, Rishabh Sawhney as Lashkar chief Azhar Akhtar, long hair blow-dried to his chin, one eye cautiously bloodshot, does the old stuff: stomps on brave Indian soldiers and delivers melodramatic dialogues dripping with anger

When Ankita Lokhande brought up Sushant Singh Rajput during Bigg Boss 17, was she trying to play the compassion card?
Despite being one of the most well-known competitors on Bigg Boss 17, Ankita Lokhande was unable to achieve triumph. Ankita discussed her time in the house, her friendship with Munawar Faruqui, and her thoughts on Bigg Boss 17 in an exclusive interview with Indianexpress.com. She also addressed rumors that she brought up her late boyfriend, actor Sushant Singh Rajput, in an attempt to win people over. (Image: Instagram/Ankita Lokhande)Ankita spoke on her friendship with Munawar and added, "I don't know why people say so, but my friendship with Munawar never broke." Only there did Munna and I converse." (Image: Instagram/Ankita Lokhande)"More than welcome, if I feel someone wants to be friends with me," Ankita continued. I used to constantly attempt to let go and go on, but these days I don't want to. I need to defend myself, and I want to stand up for myself. Your generous disposition may occasionally work against you alone. So yes, I don’t want to be so giving now, that someone walks over me." (Image: Instagram/Ankita Lokhande)Ankita also acknowledged that she found Mannara Chopra's friendship with Vicky Jain to be "triggering," but she regrets how their relationship deteriorated after seeing the incidents. (Image: Instagram/Ankita Lokhande)"Watching the episodes after coming out, I noticed that while at first I would relate with Mannara a lot, with time her trajectory changed and she began to experience a few things. That was alright with me," she continued. (Image: Instagram/Ankita Lokhande). In response to accusations that she was pulling a sympathy card, Ankita said she would have talked about Sushant outside if it meant motivating others. "I would want to share a story about Sushant with them if they knew I was related to him." Nothing is incorrect; I was only telling them about him, not my narrative. Thus, I say, let people say what they want to," Ankita said. (Image: Instagram/Ankita Lokhande)Ankita stated in the interview that she would not stop her mother-in-law from criticizing her, saying, "To date, people have made their assumptions, they have said what they had to, since whatever happened that time was in front of everyone."

I know how much they love me because I have stayed with them, but my mother became a little tearful on Bigg Boss." (Image: Instagram/Ankita Lokhande)
Bhumi Pednekar I doubt I will ever be able to get over Bhakshaks
When Bhumi Pednekar was working on Bhakshak, a film inspired by true events, she stated she wondered about her personal response to headlines revealing incidents of abuse.In her latest film Bhakshak, actor Bhumi Pednekar plays an investigative journalist who discovers the sexual assault of young children at a shelter hBhumi revealed that while working on the true-story film, she wondered about her personal response to news detailing incidents of abuse."I don't think I'll ever be able to get over Bhakshak because it deals with a real issue that society is facing with young children. This is not limited to any particular region of India; it could be occurring in any part of the world. In an interview with PTI, the actor said, "It's overwhelming, it enrages you, and it also makes you question what you are doing about it.""I sincerely hope the movie makes viewers think twice about the choices they make. It got me thinking about how I had lost my empathy and how I had stopped feeling other people's misery," she continued.With Bhakshak, Bhumi Pednekar—who made a strong film debut in 2015 with Dum Laga Ke Haisha—realized that cinema can be an effective medium for bringing significant concerns to light. She has since appeared in films such as Toilet: Ek Prem Katha, Bala, and Shubh Mangal Saavdhan."I was disappointed to learn that someone's reality served as my study material for the film. The terrible truth of how many kids live in these refuge families is what we witness (in the movie). They were unaware that there should be more to life than this. The actor stated, "Some of them were so little that they had no idea what was going on with them.In the film, Bhumi portrays Vaishali Singh, a local reporter from Bihar who works to uncover instances of sexual assault in a home for girls in need of refuge. "As a public figure, all I can hope for is that this film finds the correct audience who will be impacted by it and take action,” the woman continued. The actor gives director Pulkit credit for assisting her in bringing the role to life on screen. Based on a script he co-wrote with Jyotsana Nath, he directed the movie. "I genuinely think that this performance may be among my most mature ones. And it resulted from the fact that he simply provided me with a platform to search on while demonstrating such great faith in me. Together, we created Vaishali Singh. Her quiet powerome. She adds that there are some tales that are hard to move on from and that leave one outraged and questioning.

Expecting Her Second Child, Anushka Sharma
Former South Africa captain AB de Villiers revealed shocking news that star batsman Virat Kohli and his wife Anushka Sharma are expecting their second child, casting doubt on the player's ability to play the rest of the Test series against England. For personal reasons, Kohli had withdrew from the India team for the first two Test matches against England. Whether Kohli will play in the remaining games of the series is still unknown. De Villiers was questioned on his YouTube live about whether or not he had spoken to Virat Kohli and whether or not he was okay. "He's fine, that's all I know. He is missing the first two Test matches because he is spending some time with his family. I won't be confirming anything more. I am so excited to see him again. On his YouTube channel, AB de Villiers disclosed, "He's fine, he's happy." Just watch what he said, please. I just want to show you a little love, that's all," he continued. I wanted to check in with you for a while now, biscuits, so I wrote to him. "How are you doing?" "I just need to be with my family right now," he remarked. I continued, "I'm doing well."Indeed, he is expecting his second child. Indeed, he values things and it's family time. You lose sight of your purpose in life if you are not authentic and true to yourself. Family is, I believe, what most people prioritize. Virat is not to be judged for that. He continued, "Yes, we do miss him, but he made the right choice. De Villiers has since acknowledged his error and stated that it is untrue that Virat and Anushka are expecting their second child. Cricket comes second, family first. I had committed a grave error on my YouTube account. That information was completely false and inaccurate. In my opinion, Virat's family's best interests should come first. My only option is to wish him well, as nobody knows what's going on there. De Villiers told Dainik Bhaskar, "I hope he can come back stronger, better, and fresh from this, whatever the reason for his break."
