Bandra isn’t just a pin code, it’s a pulse. A cinematic suburb where aunties still gossip in Portuguese-accented English, filmmakers discuss scripts over cortados at Subko, and fairy lights are a year-round phenomenon. But this Diwali 2025 , the sparkle feels... evolved. Gen Z has officially turned Diwali  into a verb. They’re Diwaling  not just celebrating. It’s performative, poetic, and personal. From rooftops to Reels, this is Diwali in 4K HDR powered by playlists, chakras, and community. Let’s decode 10 ways Bandra’s Gen Z is “Diwaling up” this season , remixing tradition into trend, faith into filter, and nostalgia into a new-age vibe. 1. Curated Aesthetics Over Chaos The chaos of mismatched fairy lights and plastic torans is out.This generation’s homes look like art direction briefs from Architectural Digest . Think Subko-scented air , amber-toned bulbs, designer diyas, and Spotify blends that jump from Kushi ’s BGM to Coldplay . For them, aesthetic is devotion . The home altar is the new content set, because if it doesn’t look divine on Reels, did you even Diwali? 2. Bollywood-Inspired Fits — But Make It Street It’s the Ananya Panday x Suhana Khan x Bandra thrift store  aesthetic. Gen Z isn’t just borrowing Bollywood’s dazzle; they’re deconstructing it . Sneakers under lehengas. Corsets over kurtas. Metallic nails instead of bangles. They’re wearing tradition like rebellion turning every outfit into a story, not a stereotype. 3. Rooftop Parties > Drawing-Room Gossips The new “family gathering” happens under open skies. Pali Hill terraces now host silent DJ sets , projector screenings, and rooftop card parties with drone shots. The air smells like saffron cocktails and nostalgia. It’s less about winning at teen patti and more about winning at vibe . 4. Eco-Conscious Fireworks Are the New Flex For Bandra’s Gen Z, loud crackers are passé. The new firework is conscience .Laser light shows, silent sparkles, and drone pyro dances, eco-chic is the ultimate aesthetic.Some societies are even hosting “Zero Noise, 100 Vibe” Diwalis — soundtracked by ambient lo-fi bhajans. 5. Fusion Food, Filter Coffee & Fancy Chai If Karan Johar hosted a food crawl, this would be it. Forget laddoos; it’s all about motichoor mousse  and saffron tiramisu .Bandra cafés — from Subko  to Bombay Salad Co.  — are rolling out festive menus. The ritual? One hand with diya, one hand with croissant . 6. Reels Are the New Diyas In the attention economy, the algorithm is Agni . Gen Z is lighting timelines instead of just lamps from slow-mo diya shots to #OOTD transitions. This is not vanity; it’s virtual spirituality. For Bandra’s youth, every frame is both offering and archive. 7. Retro Bollywood Nostalgia Is Back They may live in the age of AI, but they crave K3G . Gen Z watch parties now feature Karan Johar marathons , Hum Saath Saath Hain  trivia, and Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna  karaoke.They’re reclaiming the emotional excess of 90s Bollywood but this time, they’re scripting their own narratives, minus the patriarchy. 8. Gifting Goes Local & Aesthetic Amazon hampers are dead; aesthetic economy  lives. Gen Z gifts come wrapped in thought — soy candles from Hill Road pop-ups, personalised mithai boxes, ceramic diyas from independent artisans, and AI-designed greeting cards that link to Spotify playlists. They’re not gifting to impress — they’re gifting to express . 9. Sound Healing Over Firecrackers Instead of bursting crackers, Bandra’s youth are tuning frequencies . Crystal bowls at Carter Road. Tarot circles at Pali Café. Full-moon meditations replacing bomb patakas.Their mantra? Less bang, more balance. 10. The Bandra Balcony Renaissance Balconies are back — and they’re having a cinematic glow-up. Chapel Road’s murals now meet DIY lanterns, recycled glass bottles turn into lamps, and every window is a mini art installation. For Gen Z, the balcony is botha mandir anda museum  — their film frame in the big Bandra story. Bonus Point : Custom Firecracker Boxes — AI-Generated, Not Ananya Panday-Endorsed This Diwali, Bandra’s Gen Z has gone full creative economy. Forget store-bought “Bollywood Bombs” with celebrity faces — the new flex is GPT-generated firecracker boxes  featuring you . They’re using AI tools to design packaging with their own selfies, pets, and inside jokes — replacing mass-produced graphics with hyper-personalized identity art . Imagine your friend’s face on a box that says “Dynamite Energy” or a designer label-style sparkler set called Carter Road Crackle . It’s not about fireworks — it’s about personal branding in pyrotechnic form .Welcome to the age where even crackers have character. The Bigger Picture When Gen Z Diwalis up , they aren’t dismissing tradition — they’re remixing it. Their Diwali is cinematic yet conscious, chaotic yet curated. It’s faith with filters, bhakti with balance. Because in Bandra, the real glow isn’t from diyas, it’s from the self-assured radiance of a generation rewriting how India celebrates itself. Aapke Sawal, Hamare Jawab (FAQs) Q1. What does “Diwaling” mean? It’s Gen Z slang for celebrating Diwali your own way — a mix of aesthetic, spirituality, and storytelling. Q2. Why is Bandra the hub for Gen Z Diwali trends? Because it’s Bollywood’s backyard and Mumbai’s creative nerve centre — where every Diwali party feels like a film wrap-up. Q3. How is Bollywood influencing Gen Z’s Diwali celebrations? From fashion to music to Instagram captions, Bollywood remains the reference point for how “festive” should look and feel. Q4. Is Gen Z moving away from rituals? Not at all, they’re modernising them. The aarti still happens, but so does the afterparty. Ritual meets rhythm. Q5. What’s the vibe of Diwali 2025 in Bandra? Less noise, more nuance. Less display, more depth. A Diwali that glows from within — literally and metaphorically.

To mark this historic milestone, PVR INOX , India’s largest multiplex chain, is organizing a two-week film festival  running from October 31 to November 14, 2025 . This festival will screen seven of SRK’s most iconic films  across 75+ cinemas in 30+ cities  across India — giving fans a rare chance to relive decades of magic on the big screen. This celebration is not just about nostalgia — it’s a statement: 33 years into his career, SRK continues to command love, respect, and box office power. And this festival ensures that across Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, Chennai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, and beyond, his legacy gets a grand salute. Festival Details & Where to Watch Detail Information Dates October 31 – November 14, 2025 Cities & Cinemas Over 30 cities , in more than 75 PVR INOX multiplexes Films Screened Devdas , Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa , Dil Se , Main Hoon Na , Om Shanti Om , Chennai Express , Jawan   Ticket Booking Via PVR INOX website, BookMyShow, and box offices of participating cinemas Special Highlights Some screenings may include behind-the-scenes footage, tributes, or themed intermissions (depending on individual cinema programming) Cities to Not Miss Major metro cities such as Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, Chennai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad  are guaranteed to have multiple screens participating. But smaller cities too are part of the festival — making this truly a pan-India homage to SRK. Ticketing Tips & Fan Strategies Check for early-bird discounts or combo passes  (some multiplexes may offer festival passes). Prefer evening or matinee shows early in the festival  for higher chances of availability. Watch the PVR INOX app / BookMyShow  alerts — some premieres or fan events may be limited-seating and get sold out fast. Follow local cinema social handles for special fan events / guest appearances / Q&A sessions  around select screenings. The Festival Lineup: Seven Films, Seven Emotions The selection spans romance, drama, comedy, action — a holistic tribute to SRK’s versatility. Each film has been chosen to represent different phases of his career. Film-by-Film Tribute Devdas (2002) A tragic romance directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Devdas  is one of SRK’s most visually opulent and emotionally intense performances. Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa (1994) One of SRK’s earliest and most endearing films, playing flawed but lovable characters defined his connection with audiences. Dil Se (1998) A haunting political romance by Mani Ratnam, blending music, love, and social turbulence. The film’s songs remain iconic. Main Hoon Na (2004) A mix of patriotism, relationships, and action — this film broadened SRK’s appeal across age groups. Om Shanti Om (2007) A reincarnation saga laced with Bollywood nostalgia, drama, humour, and spectacle. Chennai Express (2013) A fun, mass entertainer that blends action, comedy, and southern flavour, showing SRK’s comic timing and mass appeal. Jawan (2023) The recent blockbuster that redefined SRK’s evolution. Jawan  earned him his first National Film Award for Best Actor , marking a crowning moment in his career. These seven films map a journey — from the early struggles to superstar status, from romance to power, from heartache to heroism. A Defining Year: National Award, Box Office Comeback & More First National Film Award at 60 2025 is a landmark year in the life of SRK. After decades of unparalleled success, he was honored with his first National Film Award for Best Actor  for Jawan , shared with Vikrant Massey  (for 12th Fail ). The award was conferred by President Droupadi Murmu  at the 71st National Film Awards ceremony held in New Delhi. This recognition is all the more poignant because, despite global success, SRK had not won this specific national honor until now. Many fans see it as validation of his enduring craft and late-career brilliance. Resurgence & Box Office Domination His 2023-2025 phase marks a remarkable resurgence: Pathaan  and Jawan  both crossed ₹10 billion in global collections, making him the first actor with two billion-plus earning films . Jawan  shattered Pathaan ’s records, becoming one of the highest grossers in Hindi cinema history. Dunki  (2023), though more modest, also performed strongly, reinforcing his mass appeal. The festival capitalizes on this momentum, giving fans a chance to revisit the film that catalyzed this renaissance. Together, this makes the festival not just nostalgic, but timely — it celebrates a star who is still relevant, powerful, and evolving. Legacy, Awards & Honors Through the Years Over his career, SRK has received multiple honors from Indian presidents and institutions — from the National Citizens Award (1996) to the Padma Shri (2005)  and many more. Red Chillies Entertainment, his production & VFX house, has played a key role behind the scenes in delivering cinematic spectacle. His global presence, philanthropic voice, brand endorsements, and connection across generations make him more than an actor — a cultural icon. Shah Rukh Khan Speaks: From Actor to Emotion When asked about this festival tribute, SRK responded with humility and gratitude: “Cinema has always been my home, and seeing these films find their way back to the big screen feels like a beautiful reunion. These movies aren’t just my stories — they belong to the audience who embraced them over 33 years.” He thanked PVR INOX  for curating this festival and Red Chillies Entertainment  for backing stories that connect. This sentiment underlines one key thought: these films live in the hearts of millions , and this festival is a collective celebration — not just his. Red Chillies Entertainment & The Khan Business Empire What Is Red Chillies Entertainment? Founded in 2002 by Shah Rukh Khan and Gauri Khan, Red Chillies Entertainment  is a full-fledged film production, distribution, and VFX studio. Over the years, it has evolved into a powerhouse behind many of India’s biggest visual spectacles. Its Red Chillies VFX  arm has set benchmarks in Indian visual effects — the studio won a National Award in 2011 for RA One and has contributed to blockbusters like Krrish 3 , Fan , Zero , Laal Singh Chaddha , Shershaah , and Jawan . Beyond Films: Sports, Brand & Influence Through the Knight Riders Group , SRK is co-owner of Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR)  in IPL and other global cricket franchises. The Khan brand spans endorsements, global appearances, fashion, production houses, and mentorship of next-gen talent. This festival brings this multi-dimensional legacy back to theaters, reminding fans that SRK’s influence isn’t restricted to screen roles alone. The Next Chapter: King (2026) & The Khan Lineage King  — A Father-Daughter Reunion SRK’s next big venture is King (scheduled 2026) , directed by Siddharth Anand , featuring a debuting Suhana Khan , Deepika Padukone , and Abhishek Bachchan . Though production still continues, early buzz builds excitement that King  could mark a new era in SRK’s filmography — blending action, emotion, and legacy. Aryan Khan’s Directorial Debut Aryan Khan , SRK’s elder son, debuted as a director in 2025 with The Ba **ds of Bollywood* (Netflix). The Khan family’s journey is evolving, and this festival positions SRK’s cinematic legacy as the foundation for what comes next. What Fans Should Know Before Attending Arrive early — the theaters might open tribute segments or short spoken intros. Carry your proof of ticket and identity — some special screenings may require verification. For die-hard fans, dress in SRK-themed merchandise, bring banners, or coordinate meetups. Check cinema-wise schedules — not all seven films may play every day in every city. Share moments on social media with tags like #SRKFilmFestival , #KingKhan60 , #ShahRukhKhanFestival , #SRKAt60   #altbollywoodsrk any multiplexes and fans will be online synchronizing. Conclusion: A Festival of Love, Legacy & Cinematic Magic In an era of streaming and digital disruption, PVR INOX’s decision to bring SRK’s films back to the big screen  is itself a statement. This isn’t just nostalgia — it’s a reaffirmation of the ritual, magic, and collective experience that cinema offers. For fans, this festival is a pilgrimage. For SRK, it’s a celebration of three decades, of artistic evolution, and of an emotional bond with millions. As he turns 60, the message is clear: Shah Rukh Khan is not just a star of the past — his reign in hearts continues into the future.

His family’s coaching center — Bansal Classes , run by his father KD Bansal (Varun Badola)  — is destroyed in a fire, leaving the Bansals drowning in debt and despair. With no steady income and constant rejection from firms due to his stained record, Shanky faces a tough choice: Follow his father’s ethics and rebuild life slowly, or Take a faster route with the dangerous yet lucrative Shaukeen Bhaiyya (Vijay Raaz)  — East Delhi’s “scrap king” who turns garbage into gold through illegal means. Shaukeen Bhaiyya’s Trap When Shanky gets caught in one of Shaukeen’s schemes, he’s forced to work for him.

The Final Betrayal Even as Shaukeen pretends to help rebuild Bansal Classes, he’s the one blocking its reopening from behind the scenes. He keeps Shanky close only to use his CA expertise for money laundering . When Shanky refuses, Shaukeen delivers the season’s most chilling line: “Ya toh paisa saaf kar, ya zindagi gandi ho jayegi.” Princy Leaves In the last few minutes, Princy  — the girl who trusted Shanky — waits for him in vain. She boards a bus and leaves, symbolizing his complete moral isolation.The “wrong bus” in the title becomes a haunting metaphor: once you get on the wrong path, it’s hard to get off.

What Season 3 Might Explore Shanky’s battle against Shaukeen — will he expose him or fall deeper into crime? The aftermath of the adoption fallout. KD Bansal’s moral redemption arc. The Jamnapaar coaching mafia — and the war for educational control in East Delhi. Final Verdict Jamnapaar Season 2  delivers an intense moral thriller with moments that hit hard.

ZEE5’s latest Hindi crime thriller Bhagwat Chapter One: Raakshas  (released on 17 October 2025 ) dives deep into the human mind’s darkest corners. Directed by Akshay Shere , this psychological crime drama pairs Arshad Warsi  and Jitendra Kumar  in roles that push both actors into completely new territory. Set in Robertsganj, Uttar Pradesh , the story draws inspiration from real-life crimes that shocked India in the late 2000s — the mysterious disappearance of 19 women and a cop’s desperate hunt to bring a calm-faced monster to justice. Story Summary (No Spoilers Yet) Inspector Vishwas Bhagwat  (Arshad Warsi) is a tough, temper-ridden police officer sent to a quiet small town as punishment. But his life takes a dark turn when a young woman named Meera , also known as Poonam Mishra  (Ayesha Kaduskar), goes missing. His investigation slowly exposes a chilling pattern — multiple women missing , eerily similar cases, and one man quietly living among them: Sameer , a mild-mannered college professor played by Jitendra Kumar . As the narrative unfolds, two timelines run parallel — Sameer’s “romantic” past with Meera and Bhagwat’s desperate present-day chase for justice. The dual storytelling keeps viewers guessing until the final 30 minutes, when all masks come off. Bhagwat Chapter One: Raakshas Ending Explained When the truth surfaces, it’s devastating — Sameer (aka Rajkumar ) is revealed to be the serial killer responsible for 19 murders over four years . The final act shifts from the police chase to an intense courtroom showdown , where the real war begins. Sameer’s calm, calculated manipulation of the justice system contrasts sharply with Bhagwat’s fiery obsession to prove guilt at any cost.While the evidence piles up, the film raises an uncomfortable question — is justice only about law, or also about morality and madness? The ending shows Bhagwat finally confronting his own rage as much as the killer’s darkness. It’s a psychological mirror — both men are driven by obsession, but one for truth, the other for control. This emotional, morally complex finale leaves audiences disturbed yet deeply moved — a hallmark of modern Indian noir. Performances That Carry the Film Arshad Warsi  delivers a restrained yet powerful performance as a haunted cop battling his inner demons. Jitendra Kumar , known for his sweet-natured roles in Panchayat  and Kota Factory , stuns viewers with his cold, unnerving portrayal of a psychopath. The supporting cast, including Tara Alisha Berry  and Devas Dixit , add authenticity to the grim small-town world. Why You Should Watch Bhagwat: Chapter One – Raakshas A rare chance to see Jitendra Kumar in a completely opposite role from his usual “Jeetu Bhaiya” image. Intense, realistic portrayal of the Indian justice system. Gritty atmosphere reminiscent of Dahaad  and Paatal Lok . A psychological deep dive that stays with you long after the credits roll. 2. Is Bhagwat Chapter One: Raakshas based on a real story? Yes. The film takes inspiration from true crime incidents  that occurred in northern India around 2009 , involving the mysterious disappearances of several women. While the story is fictionalized, it mirrors real-life police investigations into small-town serial crime cases. 3. Where can I watch Bhagwat Chapter One: Raakshas online in India? Bhagwat Chapter One: Raakshas  is available exclusively on ZEE5 . You can stream it in Hindi  with English subtitles  through the ZEE5 app or website  on mobile, Smart TV, or desktop. The runtime is 2 hours and 7 minutes. 4. What is Jitendra Kumar’s role in Bhagwat Chapter One: Raakshas? Jitendra Kumar plays Sameer , a soft-spoken college professor who hides his real identity as Rajkumar , a dangerous serial killer. His performance in this film marks a dramatic shift from his earlier light-hearted roles in Panchayat  and Kota Factory , showing his versatility as an actor. 5. Will there be Bhagwat Chapter Two? Yes. The title itself, Bhagwat Chapter One , indicates that the story is part of a larger series. Industry reports and ZEE5 insiders suggest that Bhagwat Chapter Two  is already in early development, with Arshad Warsi expected to return as Inspector Vishwas Bhagwat. 6. Is Bhagwat Chapter One: Raakshas worth watching? If you enjoy Indian psychological thrillers  and true-crime dramas  like Dahaad , Talvar , or Paatal Lok , this film is definitely worth your time. The performances by Arshad Warsi and Jitendra Kumar are powerful, and the narrative offers a dark, realistic look at justice and morality in small-town India. 7. What is the main theme of Bhagwat Chapter One: Raakshas? The film explores the duality of good and evil within human nature , using the cop–killer dynamic to examine how obsession, trauma, and justice intersect. It’s less about who committed the crime, and more about what turns ordinary people into monsters.

JioHotstar’s new talk show “Spice It Up,” hosted by influencer Apoorva Mukhija aka The Rebel Kid , drops on October 17, 2025 , and the internet is already buzzing not because it’s original, but because it looks like a straight-up Hot Ones  knockoff. From neon lighting and dramatic reactions to the “spice challenge” gimmick, everything screams déjà vu. But this time, instead of hot wings, we get pani puris. The Setup: “UnfilteredAF” or Uninspired Copy? The show’s trailer promises “the spiciest chat show on the internet,” where celebrities answer bold questions while eating increasingly fiery golgappas. Sounds fun, until you realise the concept was already perfected years ago by Sean Evans in Hot Ones , where Hollywood stars actually sweat, cry, and confess in genuine chaos. Here, the chaos feels curated. The trailer looks like an ad for Instagram Reels: bright, loud, and algorithm-friendly but devoid of substance. Apoorva’s opening line, “Welcome to the most kaleshi show on the internet,” lands with the same impact as a WhatsApp forward. The Guests: Safe Bets, Predictable Drama The first season lineup features Mouni Roy , Nushrratt Bharuccha , Aparshakti Khurana , Prajakta Koli , and Kusha Kapila,  a classic mix of TV, OTT, and influencer personalities. Mouni Roy , fresh from Sultan of Delhi , gives her usual high-drama expressions as if she’s channeling Ekta Kapoor energy in a chat show setting. Nushrratt Bharuccha , still riding the indie wave after Akelli , acts “shocked” when asked who she’d kiss (spoiler: Ranbir Kapoor again). Aparshakti Khurana , the internet’s favorite sidekick, looks genuinely in pain — which might be the trailer’s only real moment. Prajakta Koli , MostlySane  turned actor, brings her “relatable girl” energy, adding some authenticity amidst the chaos. Kusha Kapila drops the viral line: “50 golgappe rakh do, mujhe farak nahi padega” — a dialogue that feels engineered for reels rather than reality. Together, it’s a lineup built for clickbait, not conversation. The Rebel Kid: Loud, Bold, and Trying Too Hard Apoorva Mukhija, a known social media figure, leans fully into her “Rebel Kid” branding — exaggerated expressions, one-liners, and Gen-Z sass. But the problem is tone: what could’ve been cheeky comes off as self-aware overkill. Her final line, “Usually logon ki fatt ke chaar hoti hai, meri fatt ke 74 hui thi,” is meant to sound edgy but feels like a Reel caption gone wrong. Apoorva clearly has charisma and screen presence but when you wrap that in recycled ideas, it’s like pouring Old Monk into a Starbucks cup and calling it innovation. The Format: Pani Puri ≠ Pain Let’s address the main problem. Hot Ones  works because the pain is real — each wing level-up creates tension and vulnerability. In Spice It Up , the stakes are as mild as Elco’s “medium teekha.” The concept of “spice torture” using pani puri in Mumbai — a city that casually eats vada pavs that could burn through concrete — feels laughably safe. It’s a sanitized version of rebellion, one where “spicy” is brand-approved and controversy is pre-filtered. Why The Internet Is Divided Since the trailer dropped, the reactions have split viewers: Some praised Apoorva’s energy and the show’s visual appeal. Others mocked it as “Hot Ones with chaat.” A few pointed out that the “#UnfilteredAF” tag is ironic for a show that looks heavily edited. Even Reddit threads have called it “painfully derivative,” while YouTube comments oscillate between “finally, something desi!” and “this is peak influencer cringe.” Verdict: More Style, Less Substance “Spice It Up” tries to market rebellion in a bottle — or in this case, a golgappa shell. But beneath the glossy production, influencer energy, and neon chaos lies a creative void. It might trend for a week, generate a few viral clips, and then vanish into the endless scroll. Apoorva’s confidence and humor could’ve built something unique, but as of now, The Rebel Kid  feels trapped in a formula she should’ve been breaking. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) 1. What is JioHotstar’s Spice It Up  about? Spice It Up  is a celebrity chat show where guests eat increasingly spicy pani puris while answering personal questions, hosted by influencer Apoorva “The Rebel Kid” Mukhija . It premieres on October 17, 2025 . 2. Who are the guests on Spice It Up  Season 1? The first lineup features Mouni Roy , Nushrratt Bharuccha , Aparshakti Khurana , Prajakta Koli , and Sargun Mehta —each participating in the spicy challenge while sharing personal stories. 3. Why are people comparing Spice It Up  to Hot Ones ? Because both shows involve celebrities answering questions while enduring spice-induced pain. However, while Hot Ones  uses global hot sauces, Spice It Up  substitutes pani puris as the challenge, prompting criticism for lack of originality. 4. Is Spice It Up  scripted or real? Though marketed as #UnfilteredAF , reactions in the trailer appear heavily edited and dramatized, leading many viewers to question its authenticity. 5. Where can I watch Spice It Up ? The show will stream exclusively on JioHotstar  starting October 17, 2025 .

On 15th October 2025 , India lost one of its most dignified screen presences — Pankaj Dheer , the actor immortalized as Karna  in B.R. Chopra’s Mahabharat . He passed away at the age of 65, leaving behind a legacy that shaped an entire generation of television storytelling. But beyond the spotlight, Dheer’s story begins somewhere quieter — the classrooms of St. Theresa’s High School, Bandra , a Mumbai institution that has nurtured some of India’s most creative voices across film, dance, and theatre. The Bandra Connection: Where Artists Were Born St. Theresa’s High School isn’t just another old Bandra landmark — it’s a cultural incubator. From the 1970s onward, it produced names that would go on to redefine Indian entertainment: Ashutosh Gowariker  — Director of Lagaan , Swades , and Jodhaa Akbar , bringing India its first Oscar nomination in decades. Terrence Lewis  — One of India’s most respected contemporary dance choreographers and television personalities. Javed Jaffrey  — Actor, comedian, and pop-culture icon who redefined Indian humor and stage performance. Pankaj Dheer  — The actor whose portrayal of Karna made him a moral archetype for Indian audiences. When the school hosted its first-ever all-batch reunion on 28th December 2024 , Dheer joined his fellow Theresians on stage alongside filmmaker Gowariker and former teacher Mr. Morrais. The event wasn’t just nostalgia — it was a living archive of India’s cultural evolution through the lens of one school. The Man Who Made Karna Immortal For millions, Pankaj Dheer was Karna  — the tragic warrior torn between destiny and dharma in Mahabharat (1988) . His calm intensity, expressive eyes, and regal restraint turned a mythological character into a deeply human story of loyalty, pain, and pride. In the pre-internet era, when family TV time meant sacred storytelling, Dheer’s performance helped make Mahabharat  a national ritual. Even decades later, his portrayal remains one of the most respected in Indian television history. Beyond the screen, he carried his craft into mentorship — founding Stardom Acting School , where he trained aspiring artists, including his son Nikitin Dheer  ( Chennai Express , Shershaah ). A Legacy Rooted in Discipline and Art Dheer’s journey from St. Theresa’s corridors to Indian television’s mythic pantheon reflects the school’s unique ethos — one that values performance, discipline, and character as much as academics. Friends recall him speaking with deep affection for his alma mater, saying that his sense of commitment and humility was born there. It’s a sentiment many Theresians share — whether they’re directors, dancers, or dreamers. Farewell to a Gentleman Actor On 15th October 2025 , tributes poured in across film and television circles. Co-stars, directors, and fans alike remembered him as a soft-spoken professional who elevated every role with dignity. His passing marks not just the end of an era but a reminder that Indian entertainment’s golden foundation was built by artists who balanced fame with grace. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) 1. Who was Pankaj Dheer? Pankaj Dheer was a veteran Indian actor best known for portraying Karna in B.R. Chopra’s Mahabharat (1988) .  With a career spanning film, television, and theatre, he became one of the most respected faces in Indian entertainment. 2. When did Pankaj Dheer pass away? He passed away on 15th October 2025  at the age of 65. His cremation took place at Pawan Hans, Vile Parle, Mumbai. 3. What is Pankaj Dheer’s connection to St. Theresa’s High School, Bandra? Pankaj Dheer was an alumnus of St. Theresa’s High School, Bandra , a prestigious Mumbai institution that also produced artists like Ashutosh Gowariker, Terrence Lewis, and Javed Jaffrey . He attended the school’s first-ever all-batch reunion in December 2024. 4. What were Pankaj Dheer’s other major works? Apart from Mahabharat , he appeared in films such as Tahalka , Saugandh , Soldier , and TV shows like Chandrakanta  and Badalte Rishton Ki Dastaan . He also directed and mentored actors through his acting academy. 5. What is the legacy of St. Theresa’s High School in the entertainment world? St. Theresa’s High School, Bandra , has been a cradle for creativity, known for producing influential figures in Bollywood, television, and performing arts — a legacy continued through its thriving alumni network.

The Orry–Rajiv Adatia feud has become October 2025’s most viral social-media drama, but beneath the memes and Insta-stories lies a cultural clash not between right and wrong, but between reverence and relevance . Influencer Orhan Awatramani, a.k.a. Orry , accidentally sparked outrage when he joked about Falguni Pathak  and misnamed Lata Mangeshkar  during a concert reel. Rajiv Adatia , known from Bigg Boss 15 , called him out for “mocking legends,” leading to a volley of insults that kept fans glued to their phones. At AltBollywood , we’re clear: we side with Orry  — not because we endorse irreverence, but because he represents the unapologetic, self-aware digital persona that defines India’s new celebrity culture. The Timeline: How a Joke Became a Headline October 12 — Concert Clip Goes Viral Orry refers to Falguni Pathak as a “Falguni peacock” and mistakenly says “Lata Mangeshwari.” October 13 — Rajiv’s Reaction Rajiv condemns the remark, tagging Falguni and apologising publicly. October 14 — Orry Fires Back Instead of apologising, Orry posts a sarcastic comment on Rajiv’s looks. October 15 — The Paparazzi Moment Orry calls Rajiv “very clownish” on camera; Rajiv retaliates with another long Instagram rant. Why Orry Isn’t Wrong — He’s Just Real Orry’s humour sits in the grey zone of modern Indian pop culture — half parody, half performance art. His jokes often exaggerate celebrity life rather than disrespect it.When he quipped about Falguni Pathak, the intent was playful exaggeration, not mockery. And while reverence for icons like Lata Mangeshkar  is sacred, outrage without context only fuels digital noise. In an attention-economy, Orry understands what most influencers don’t — how to convert backlash into virality without losing authenticity. The Cultural Context: India’s Battle Between Legacy and Meme Culture Rajiv Adatia embodies the old-school Bollywood respect system where every legend is above humour. Orry embodies the meme-era India where reverence coexists with remix culture.Both worlds matter. But if entertainment is to stay relevant, it can’t be built on fear of offence. Orry didn’t just survive the controversy; he controlled it. Every insult became a headline, every jab a viral quote. That’s not arrogance — that’s algorithmic literacy . Conclusion Rajiv may have fought for reverence , but Orry mastered relevance . In 2025’s influencer landscape, that’s the real win. Frequently Asked Questions Q1. What really happened between Orry and Rajiv Adatia? The feud began after Orry made a humorous remark about Falguni Pathak and accidentally misnamed Lata Mangeshkar. Rajiv Adatia found it disrespectful and responded publicly, leading to a series of online exchanges that went viral across Instagram and entertainment portals. Q2. Why does AltBollywood side with Orry? AltBollywood supports Orry’s right to creative expression. His remarks were not made in malice but in humour, reflecting today’s meme-driven digital culture. We believe cultural icons can be honoured without restricting satire or commentary. Q3. Did Orry apologise for his comments? No official apology was issued. Instead, Orry chose to respond with sarcasm, highlighting how influencer culture often uses irony as defence rather than confrontation. Q4. How did Rajiv Adatia respond to Orry’s remarks? Rajiv Adatia criticised Orry’s behaviour, calling him out for lacking respect toward Indian music legends and questioning his career achievements. He also posted emotional tributes defending Lata Mangeshkar’s legacy. Q5. What does this feud reveal about modern Indian influencer culture? The feud symbolises the ongoing tension between tradition and new-age digital expression. Orry represents irreverent, self-aware celebrity culture; Rajiv represents conventional respectability. Their clash mirrors India’s evolving entertainment identity. Q6. Who gained more attention from the Orry-Rajiv Adatia controversy? While Rajiv earned sympathy from traditional audiences, Orry dominated engagement metrics and trending lists — turning criticism into visibility across news portals and social platforms.

There’s something oddly comforting about watching Ajay Devgn  age like fine whisky — stoic, sharp, and still figuring out love in his fifties. The trailer of De De Pyaar De 2  brings that same self-aware humour that made the first film stand out, but this time with an even more interesting twist — R Madhavan  as the father of Rakul Preet Singh’s character. The sequel, set to release on November 14, 2025 , feels like a mature comedy made for a generation that’s grown up watching Ajay ride two bikes at once, and now watches him balance love, family, and judgment — still with that signature smirk. A Comedy About Comfort Zones and Cringe Moments The story picks up right where the first film ended — Ashish Mehra (Ajay Devgn) , the 52-year-old London NRI, is still with his 26-year-old girlfriend Ayesha (Rakul Preet Singh) . Only this time, the problem isn’t society; it’s her parents. When R Madhavan  and Gautami Kapoor  walk in as the disapproving in-laws, the film turns into a hilarious father-in-law vs. son-in-law face-off. The younger suitor (played by Meezaan Jafri ) only adds spice to the chaos. It’s a setup built on awkward dinners, unspoken judgments, and the quiet comedy of Indian family expectations. Ajay Devgn’s Self-Parody Is the Real Hook What makes the trailer click is how Ajay leans into his own legend. There’s a cheeky reference to Phool Aur Kaante  and Singham , but instead of flexing, he’s poking fun at himself — and that’s where the charm lies. He’s no longer the action hero proving a point; he’s the middle-aged man trying to prove he still matters. R Madhavan , on the other hand, slips into his role like silk — calm, composed, with that effortless screen warmth that makes him both intimidating and relatable. Watching these two trade barbs feels like watching two different eras of Indian masculinity share the same frame — one rooted in stoicism, the other in emotional intelligence. Rakul Preet Singh Brings the Spark Back If Ajay and Maddy represent the head and heart, Rakul is clearly the spark that keeps this triangle alive. Her screen presence feels more confident and grounded this time — less the “younger girlfriend” trope, more a woman owning her choices despite the judgment. She brings levity to what could have easily been another cliché age-gap drama. The Vibe: Easy, Breezy, but Surprisingly Honest There’s a reason De De Pyaar De 2  feels different — it doesn’t take its own premise too seriously. It’s aware of how ridiculous age-gap conversations can get in Indian households and chooses to laugh about it instead of moralising. Even the background score — closing with the nostalgic “Buddha Mil Gaya” — is a wink at the audience. It’s as if the film is saying: “Yes, we know this looks absurd, but aren’t we all a bit absurd when it comes to love?” Why This Sequel Might Just Work Ajay and Madhavan’s chemistry feels like an unplanned masterstroke — clash of two calm storms. The humour lands without forcing slapstick. It reflects how Indian rom-coms are evolving — not afraid to laugh at the uncomfortable. The nostalgia factor is subtle, not spoon-fed. Directed by Anshul Sharma  and written by Luv Ranjan  and Tarun Jain , De De Pyaar De 2  seems to understand its audience — people who’ve grown out of college crushes but still enjoy watching others fall awkwardly in love. This isn’t a film trying to be young again; it’s a film learning to age with a smile. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About De De Pyaar De 2 1. What is the release date of De De Pyaar De 2? De De Pyaar De 2  is scheduled to release in Indian theatres on November 14, 2025 , just ahead of the Diwali weekend. The romantic comedy sequel stars Ajay Devgn, R Madhavan, and Rakul Preet Singh in lead roles, promising a perfect festive entertainer for family audiences. 2. Who are the main cast members in De De Pyaar De 2? The film features Ajay Devgn  as Ashish Mehra, R Madhavan  as Ayesha’s father Rajji Khurana, and Rakul Preet Singh  as Ayesha Khurana. Supporting roles include Gautami Kapoor , Meezaan Jafri , Jaaved Jaaferi , Ishita Dutta , and Sanjeev Seth . The movie is directed by Anshul Sharma  and produced by Luv Ranjan  and Bhushan Kumar . 3. What is the story of De De Pyaar De 2 about? The sequel continues the unconventional love story of De De Pyaar De (2019) . Ajay Devgn plays a 52-year-old NRI who is dating a 26-year-old woman. When her parents — played by R Madhavan and Gautami Kapoor — discover the age gap, chaos begins. The film explores modern relationships, family approval, and the comic side of generational clashes in Indian society. 4. Is Tabu returning in De De Pyaar De 2? No, Tabu  will not appear in De De Pyaar De 2 . She played Ajay Devgn’s ex-wife Manju in the original 2019 film but has not been cast in the sequel. However, director Luv Ranjan has hinted that her character might return in a possible third part of the franchise. 5. Who is directing De De Pyaar De 2 and what makes it different from part one? De De Pyaar De 2  is directed by Anshul Sharma , marking his first collaboration with Luv Ranjan and T-Series. The sequel takes a more self-aware and mature approach to comedy, focusing on emotional honesty rather than slapstick. The face-off between Ajay Devgn and R Madhavan brings a refreshing dynamic that sets it apart from the first film.

It started, as many interesting stories do, completely by chance. I was just standing around when I struck up a conversation with a well-built man. We started with the usual small talk—fitness, muscle gain, the daily grind. But as we spoke, I learned he wasn't just anyone; he was a bodyguard for one of the most talked-about personalities in India right now: Orhan Awatramani, or as the world knows him, Orry. My curiosity piqued, I shifted the conversation. "So, what's Orry like in real life?" I asked, expecting a generic, media-trained answer. What I got instead was a raw, unfiltered look behind the meticulously crafted public persona. The man's face hardened slightly as he began to speak, and the glossy image of Orry I had in my mind began to crack. "He's Good for the Media, Not for Us" The first bomb he dropped was about Orry’s personality. "For the media, for the public, he is a good guy," the bodyguard explained, "But in his personal life, he's not the good person you think he is." He went on to describe a professional relationship that was strictly transactional, devoid of any human warmth. "He only cares about the work (kaam se kaam hai)," he said. According to him, Orry never bothers to ask the simple, human questions. "He never asks if we've eaten or had anything to drink. He just doesn't care (khayal nahi rakhta hai)." This wasn't just a one-off complaint. The bodyguard painted a picture of immense dedication, but met with cold indifference. 18-Hour Days and Endless Waiting "We work 18-hour shifts for him," he continued, his voice heavy with fatigue. "We stand on a waiting list, sometimes waiting for hours under his building, often without having eaten a thing." He spoke of the long, grueling hours spent ensuring Orry's safety, a service for which they receive little to no personal acknowledgment. The contrast was jarring: the man who lives a life of seemingly endless parties and luxury, allegedly oblivious to the basic needs of the people paid to protect him. The bodyguard had been working with him for two years, and the sentiment felt deeply ingrained. He didn't just dislike his job; he seemed to resent the man he worked for. He used strong language, cursing under his breath as he recounted his experiences, calling Orry's behaviour "very bad." The Reliance Connection: A Surprise Twist Just when I thought the conversation couldn't get more interesting, he revealed a crucial piece of the puzzle that connects all the dots about Orry's mysterious influence. "So, who do you work for? Is it a private agency?" I asked. His answer stunned me. "I was provided to him by Reliance," he stated matter-of-factly. "Reliance Company gave Orry a bodyguard." This wasn't just a rumour anymore; it was a direct confirmation from the source. The long-speculated connection to the Ambani family was real. He explained that he and his colleagues are part of a security detail managed by Reliance, and they are assigned to various high-profile individuals. This solidifies Orry’s position not as a random socialite but as someone firmly within the Ambanis' inner circle, important enough to be assigned their personal security. A Glimpse into the Bodyguard's World The conversation also gave me a fascinating insight into the high-stakes world of celebrity protection. He mentioned that the field has good scope and earning potential. "How much can one make?" I ventured. "It depends on the actor's level," he said. "If you are an armed guard, the starting salary is around ₹1.5 lakh per month." He explained that while the money is good, it comes at a cost—dealing with demanding clients and unpredictable schedules. Sometimes a workday is just an hour; other times it's an endless, thankless marathon. Conclusion: The Man Behind the Poses As I walked away from the conversation, I couldn't shake the feeling that I had seen a glimpse of the real Orry—or at least, a version of him far removed from the smiling, posing figure on Instagram. The bodyguard’s story was a stark reminder that behind every glamorous celebrity photograph are people working tirelessly in the shadows, whose stories are rarely heard. While Orry continues to charm the public with his quirky captions and celebrity friendships, this encounter left me with a lingering question: Who is the real Orry when the cameras are turned off? According to the man who stands by his side for 18 hours a day, the answer is far more complicated, and much darker, than any of us could have imagined.
