Kerala HC wants to see The Kerala Story 2 after discovering that the teaser and trailer misrepresent the state.
The Kerala High Court on Tuesday (February 24, 2026) requested that the movie be shown to it on Wednesday, claiming that the teaser and trailer for The Kerala Story 2: Goes Beyond "wrongly portrays" the people of Kerala. Since Kerala is mentioned in the title by the filmmakers, who claim that the film tells a pan-Indian story, the concerns of the people of the State cannot be disregarded. Tensions within the community could result from this," it stated."You don't think the Court ought to see the film. "You want the question of whether this petition is a private or public litigation to be resolved," the court said. The Court made the observation during the hearing of three petitions from people who wanted to prevent the film's release and have the Central Board of Film Certification's (CBFC) certificate revoked because they believed the movie stigmatized and misrepresented Kerala, which could cause tensions and discord among communities. The Court noted that the petitioners' concerns seemed prima facie justified because the movie was being projected as "inspired by true events" and prominently carried the name of the state in its title, even though the sequels' plot had no real connection to Kerala. The Court then expressed its inclination to watch the film during the morning hearing. Therefore, it requested that the producer and the CBFC's legal representatives obtain guidance regarding the best time to screen the film for the Court. Additionally, the movie producers' attorney stated that the screening may go.

Lekin, I never believed in oiling before.Behind her shiny hair, Chitrangada Singh reveals a secret combination.
On the podcast Let's Talk for Namitaa, Chitrangada Singh recently talked about her hair care regimen and credited oiling for improving the quality of her hair. "I never used to believe in oiling, lekin bahut farak padta, oiling is very, very important," she said. The quality of your hair has improved since I started using rosemary, pepper mint, almond oil, and teen cheezon ko mix karke mujhe diya hai kisni.IndianExpress.com contacted Dr. Bhawuk Dhir, Consultant Dermatology, PSRI Hospital, to verify the actor's claim. He concurred that oiling has advantages, "but with realistic expectations."According to Dr. Dhir, "regular hair oiling can be scientifically effective, but its impact varies from person to person." He explains that oils don't directly promote the growth of new hair by activating biological growth pathways. The main functions of oils are as protecting and emollients. They protect the hair shaft from friction and environmental harm, prevent breakage, lessen dryness, and seal in moisture," he says. During oil application, a light scalp massage may also promote improved blood circulation. Dr. Dhir continues, "The evidence is stronger for improved texture and reduced damage rather than dramatic hair growth, even though this creates a healthier scalp environment."

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." (Image: Instagram/Ankita Lokhande)"It is a family concern for me," she continued. "I know her aim was not such, but some things were conveyed to me. 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.

"This is similar to the past, when a campaign involving advertisements could reach the majority of Americans. There simply isn't another place for us to do that today,"

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.

Cricket comes second, family first. I had committed a grave error on my YouTube account. That information was completely false and inaccurate.

The breakdown Leading man Hrithik Roshan, meanwhile, has sent a thank-you note to the Fighter director and crew. The actor posted a brief clip from the movie on Instagram and stated, "It took me a while to understand Squadron Leader Shamsher Pathania's dichotomy. Call him Shammi or Patty, but there was always a tug of war inside him. Shammi is extremely sensitive, while Patty is stubborn and intensely focused. Patty is seeking atonement, while Shammi is consumed by guilt. While Patty disobeys rules and takes risks, Shammi obeys. Patty takes solace in the small space of his Sukhoi Su-30 MKI while Shammi searches for his safe haven. Patty is the #Fighter, and Shammi is the son, friend, and lover. We are grateful to @s1danand for patiently bringing us to your vision, pushing us to dizzying heights, and literally giving this dream wings. I am deeply grateful to the incredibly talented cast, @deepikapadukone, @anilskapoor, @iamksgofficial, @akshay0beroi, and @iamsanjeeda, for inspiring me to always give my all."
