Read ahead to know more about it. It seems like the adult film actor Kendra Lust is teasingly engaging with the Bollywood industry again. After her viral AI-created photo with Shah Rukh Khan went viral last month, she has now posted a similar picture with Shah Rukh Khan, and she has again posted a similar photo with Salman Khan, joking about her entry in Bigg Boss. Kendra shared the Photoshop image on Instagram, in which she can be seen in a saree, while the Bigg Boss host appears in a black kurta-pajama. In the caption of the photo, she teased the fans as she asked, “If I enter Bigg Boss… are you ready for the drama? Should I go? #kendralust #biggboss #bollywood Entertainment Netizens’ reaction to the post Netizens reacted to the photo with an equal amount of sarcasm and humor. One user said, “This is your house, sexy. You deserve to be the boss (sic).” Another penned down jokingly, “Too early. Come for season 69 (sic).” One person seemed to be curious about Kendra’s ethnicity and said, “@kendralust honest questions, do you speak Hindi? Are you half Indian or something? Lol, the song selection is mad crazy; knowing it’s Salman makes it even wilder lol (sic).” Entertainment Kendra Lust’s viral photo with Shah Rukh and Salman This isn’t the first time Kendra has posted a fabricated picture with Salman Khan either. In 2021, she shared a picture on X (then Twitter) wishing the Dabangg actor a happy birthday, with an edited photo showing both of them together. She recently shared a picture with the King of Bollywood as well, when she posted a doctored visual of them together, captioning it, “Just a casual evening with the King of Hearts (sic).” Entertainment What did the post remind netizens of? Her Bigg Boss joke immediately took the fans back to Sunny Leone’s participation in Bigg Boss 5, which happened after her time spent in the adult entertainment industry. Sunny Leone then went ahead to make her Bollywood debut with Jism 2. It is not clear if Kendra would follow in Sunny’s footsteps or not, but the conversation about it has already started.

Entertainment Kartik Aaryan’s family has expanded its real-estate footprint in Mumbai with another major acquisition, as the actor’s parents purchased a premium commercial unit in Vile Parle. The deal marks yet another significant property investment linked to the actor in recent months, highlighting a clear trend of strategic expansion. Kartik Aaryan’s parents buy Rs 10.83 crores office in Vile Parle, add to family’s expanding Mumbai holdings According to documents accessed by Zapkey and reported by NDTV Profit, Kartik’s parents, Mala Tiwari and Manish Tiwari, bought the office space for Rs 10.83 crores. In addition to the purchase price, the family paid Rs 65 lakh as stamp duty. The registration of the sale was completed on November 27, 2025. The commercial unit spans 1,228 sq ft of carpet area and comes with two dedicated parking slots, making it a substantial addition to their growing real-estate portfolio. The property was acquired from Notan House Pvt. Ltd. As per the developer’s website, the building offers convenient accessibility to multiple transport hubs — located about 1.6 km from Vile Parle railway station, 3 km from Andheri station, and around 6.5 km from the Bandra–Worli Sea Link. This makes the location strategically advantageous for both business and connectivity. This purchase follows earlier reports from September indicating that Kartik Aaryan himself had secured a commercial office space in Andheri valued at Rs 13 crores. Around the same period, the actor also purchased a 2,000 sq. ft. plot at Chateau de Alibaug for Rs 2 crores. Speaking about that investment, Kartik had said, “Alibaug has become one of the most exciting places to invest in today — close to Mumbai and I plan to build my own home there. This is the first time I have invested in land and with full trust in The House of Abhinandan Lodha. I’m glad to have made this investment.” On the work front, Kartik is preparing for the release of his upcoming romantic comedy Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri, co-starring Ananya Panday, which is set to hit theatres on December 25, 2025.

Entertainment Three days are left for the release of Dhurandhar and the excitement is slowly building by the day for the Ranveer Singh-starrer. After giving some of the biggest and viral news exclusively about the action entertainer, Bollywood Hungama now brings to you the cut list of Dhurandhar. EXCLUSIVE: Dhurandhar is Ranveer Singh’s FIRST-ever ‘A’ rated film; final length locked at 214 minutes; CBFC censors violent visuals in 2 scenes, mutes cuss word Bollywood Hungama was the first one to tell you that Dhurandhar’s runtime is expected to be 3 hours and 32 minutes. The censor certificate has now given the confirmed run time of the film – 214.01 minutes. In other words, the film is 3 hours, 34 minutes and 1 second long, making it the lengthiest film in 17 years for Bollywood. The last film with such a lengthy run time was Jodhaa Akbar (2008); the historical was also 214 minutes long. Moreover, Dhurandhar has been awarded an ‘A’ certificate. In short, this is Ranveer Singh’s first film in 15 years, which is adult-rated. Now, coming to the cuts. The makers were asked to add the voiceover for the Hindi disclaimer. Accordingly, the duration of the disclaimer was increased to accommodate the voiceover. The anti-drug static and anti-smoking static were added in scenes where characters are seen consuming the addictive substances. At the beginning of the film, the visuals of violence were deleted and replaced with appropriate shots. In the second half, the CBFC (Central Board of Film Certification) members asked the makers to reduce the violent visuals. The character name of a minister was ‘suitably changed’. Lastly, a cuss word was muted. One more change that happened at the censor process was that the makers added music and additional scenes to the end credits. Once these changes were made, the censor certificate was handed over to the makers of Dhurandhar on December 2. Backed by Jio Studios and B62 Studios, the film also stars Sanjay Dutt, Akshaye Khanna, R Madhavan, Arjun Rampal and Sara Arjun. Directed by Aditya Dhar, it releases in cinemas on December 5.

Entertainment Ranveer Singh has addressed the controversy surrounding his recent on-stage imitation of Rishab Shetty from his film Kantara: Chapter 1, after a video from the International Indian Film Festival (IFFI) in Goa triggered a wave of criticism online. The actor, who became the centre of a social media storm earlier this week, issued a formal apology on Tuesday, clarifying that his actions were meant as admiration for the Kantara actor-filmmaker, not mockery. Ranveer Singh issues public apology after mimicking Rishab Shetty from Kantara: Chapter 1; social media backlash spurs actor to clarify intent The uproar began after footage surfaced of Ranveer recreating a dramatic sequence from Kantara: Chapter 1, where Chamundi Diva — a goddess’ spirit — enters Rishab Shetty’s character. During the Goa event, the actor enthusiastically mimicked the scene on stage, leaving Rishab and several others in the audience in splits. However, the reaction on social media was far from amused. Many users accused Ranveer of disrespecting Rishab Shetty, Indian culture, and religious sentiments. The backlash escalated further when a Hindu group filed a police complaint against him, alleging that his imitation was offensive. Amid growing outrage, Ranveer took to social media to share a note of apology. “My intention was to highlight Rishabh’s incredible performance in the film. Actor to actor, I know how much it would take to perform that particular scene in the way that he did, for which he has my utmost admiration.” He further added, “I have always deeply respected every culture, tradition and belief in our country. If I’ve hurt anyone’s sentiments, I sincerely apologise.” The actor’s statement came after multiple clips circulated online, including one where Rishab Shetty appeared to caution him against imitating the sacred performance, a moment that only fuelled the trolling and raised questions about whether Ranveer had crossed a line despite the light-hearted atmosphere at the venue. Ranveer’s apology aims to draw a line under the controversy by stressing the admiration he holds for Rishab Shetty and Kantara, a film widely praised for its raw portrayal of coastal Karnataka’s culture and spiritual traditions. While the Kantara actor-filmmaker has not issued an official response to the apology, the two were seen sharing a friendly rapport on stage during the festival. As the debate continues online, Ranveer’s clarification is an attempt to restore calm amid growing sensitivities around cultural representation in public performances. Whether the apology succeeds in pacifying aggrieved viewers remains to be seen, but the actor has made his stance — and respect — unmistakably clear.

Entertainment The 56th International Film Festival of India (IFFI) in Goa will pay a special tribute to legendary actor Dharmendra at its closing ceremony later this week. The veteran star, who passed away on Monday morning at his suburban Mumbai residence at the age of 89, was fondly remembered with a minute’s silence during the closing of the Film Bazaar segment of the festival, officials said. IFFI 2025 to honour Dharmendra at closing ceremony after veteran actor’s demise; 4K Sholay screening cancelled Prakash Magdum, Managing Director of NFDC, confirmed that a dedicated homage will be part of the main closing ceremony, calling Dharmendra a “beloved legend” whose contribution to Indian cinema continues to resonate with audiences across generations. As part of the festival’s programming, a restored 4K screening of Dharmendra’s cult classic Sholay, scheduled for November 26, has been cancelled due to what organisers cited as “technical reasons”. However, IFFI will still celebrate the film’s enduring legacy through a special session titled “50 Years of Sholay: Why Sholay Still Resonates?” to be held on November 27, featuring the film’s director Ramesh Sippy. Additionally, the iconic motorcycle with sidecar from Sholay, on which Dharmendra and Amitabh Bachchan shot the unforgettable song Yeh Dosti, has been displayed in a glass enclosure at the INOX theatre in Panjim since the start of the festival, and has now organically turned into a tribute to the late star. The bike, a BSA WM20 originally designed as a military motorcycle for Britain’s war efforts starting in 1937, has drawn visitors who are reminded of Dharmendra’s on-screen camaraderie and charm every time they see it. Information displayed alongside the vehicle notes that the five-minute ‘Yeh Dosti’ song sequence took 21 days to film.
