With her help, Parineeti joined Yash Raj Films (YRF) as a public relations and marketing intern, handling film campaigns and events.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>It was here that destiny intervened. While working behind the scenes, her natural charm and confidence caught the eye of YRF’s casting team.

As Parineeti celebrates her 37th birthday, let's take a look at her journey from Business school to Bollywood. 


Bollywood’s versatile and ever-charming actress Parineeti Chopra turns 37 today, October 22, 2025. Over the years, she has carved her own unique space in the Hindi film industry-transforming from a bright, ambitious student with dreams of finance to one of Bollywood’s most celebrated stars. On her special day, let's look back at her inspiring journey filled with unexpected turns, resilience, and sheer talent. An academic mind with corporate dreams Born in Ambala, Haryana, Parineeti was far from the world of cinema during her early years. A brilliant student, she earned a triple honours degree in Business, Finance, and Economics from Manchester Business School in the UK. Her dream was clear; she wanted to become an investment banker.

Happy Birthday Parineeti Chopra! How an Ambala girl who dreamed of finance found her calling in Bollywood

<p>Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt’s name once again finds itself back in the headlines after public prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam revisited the 1993 Mumbai bomb blasts case.

Could Sanjay Dutt have prevented the 1993 Mumbai blasts? Here’s what prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam says

<p>Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor celebrated Diwali with their loved ones on Monday. Alia on Tuesday took to Instagram to share a glimpse of their celebration. The photos had Ranbir and Alia hugging and posing, a few pictures with Alia’s sister Shaheen Bhatt and filmmaker Ayan Mukerji and the couple’s friends and a photo with their daughter Raha.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Alia looked stunning in a traditional outfit in shades of pastel while Ranbir chose a cream kurta-pyjama set.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>A few days ago, Bollywood's beloved Bebo, aka Kareena Kapoor Khan, hosted a grand Diwali bash for her family, ahead of the festival of lights. It was a star-studded affair with Kareena's star sister-in-law, Alia Bhatt, walking in as one of the best-dressed guests. Alia turned heads in a 30-year-old rose gold silk saree with silver tikki motifs, an archival masterpiece by celebrity designer Ritu Kumar. The actor dazzled like real gold, perfect for the occasion of Dhanteras. Well, Alia has now shared a sneak peek into her Diwali celebrations with husband Ranbir Kapoor, daughter Raha, sister Shaheen Bhatt and filmmaker Ayan Mukerji. Once again, Alia has stunned us with her style game.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h2>Alia and Ranbir’s Diwali celebrations</h2><p>Sharing a series of photos, Alia captioned the post as, “Dilwali Diwali Happy Diwali to you and yours.” The photos had Alia and Ranbir hugging and posing for the camera, one video had Shaheen and Alia grooving to music and matching steps together, while another had the two sisters posing with Ayan Mukerji. One photo showed Raha’s hand helping Alia, perhaps to make the traditional rangoli, as colours were kept around them. Raha’s face was not visible in the image.&nbsp;</p>

A few days ago, Bollywood's beloved Bebo, aka Kareena Kapoor Khan, hosted a grand Diwali bash for her family, ahead of the festival of lights. It was a star-studded affair with Kareena's star sister-in-law, Alia Bhatt, walking in as one of the best-dressed guests. Alia turned heads in a 30-year-old rose gold silk saree with silver tikki motifs, an archival masterpiece by celebrity designer Ritu Kumar.

<p>&nbsp;</p><p>This is the first time that the couple have shared a glimpse of their daughter. They have so far followed no-photos of their no-photos-of-their-child policy with the paps like other celebrity couples. Last month, videos of Deepika and Dua while travelling at the Mumbai airport were captured by onlookers and shared on social media. However, the leaked videos were soon taken down from various portals.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Last year, they revealed her name on Diwali and only shared a photo of the baby’s two little feet. “Dua Padukone Singh. 'Dua’ : meaning a Prayer. Because She is the Answer to our Prayers. Our hearts are filled with Love &amp; Gratitude," read their heartfelt note.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Ranveer and Deepika tied the knot in 2018, and Dua was born on September 8, 2024.</p><h2>Celebrities react</h2><p>Needless to say, the photos left the internet buzzing, and fans of the two actors, as well as their friends from the film industry, shared the excitement and flooded the comments section. Ayushmaan Khurrana said, "Such a perfect mix," while Rhea Kapoor wrote, "So Cute." Karan Johar wrote, "OMG" while Sonam Kapoor and Ajun Kapoor dropped heart emojis. A fan wrote, "Hello Baby Dua," while another fan wrote, "Awww Dua, finally!"</p><h2>Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone's next projects</h2><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Ranveer Singh will next be seen in Aditya Dhar's film Dhurandhar, which is set for a December release this year. The film is being touted as a spy thriller, and the anticipation around the film has been high ever since the film's trailer dropped in July earlier this year. Meanwhile, Deepika has two projects coming up. She is working with Shah Rukh Khan in King, which also stars Abhishek Bachchan and Suhana Khan. Deepika is also set to work with Atlee in a Telugu film opposite Allu Arjun.&nbsp;</p>

The first photos of Dua Singh Padukone are here! Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone gave their fans a special treat on Diwali as they shared photos of their one-year-old for the first time on social media. 

It’s a special Diwali for DeepVeer fans as Bollywood’s favourite couple Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh shared the first photos of their daughter Dua Padukone Singh. The couple shared a series of photos of their baby daughter on the occasion of Diwali, wishing their fans on the festival of lights. Deepika and Dua twinned in red and gold traditional outfits while dad Ranveer complemented them in a cream outfit. Stylist Shaleena Nathani, who styled the family's Diwali outfits, revealed on Instagram that Ranveer, Deepika and Dua were all dressed in Sabyasachi Mukherjee creations. In the photos, the couple looked lovingly at their one-year-old daughter, while the little one smiled at the camera. One photo had Dua sitting on mom Deepika's lap with folded hands, perhaps praying during the family Diwali pooja. See the adorable photos here:

<p>Maddock Films’ newest offering, its horror franchise, Thamma, featuring Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna, opens up a new world. After ghosts and werewolves, Thamma introduces the world of Vampires or ‘Betaals’ to the audience. Ayushmann returns to the big screen after a long hiatus, taking up a character which is similar to his previous films, yet strikingly different as it belongs to the fantasy fiction genre. Directed by Munjya director Aditya Sarpotdar, Thamma explores a new genre in the Maddock Horror Comedy Universe- MHCU- a name coined by the banner- where Vampires thrive on blood but also maintain an equilibrium between their world and our world.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h2>Plot of Thamma</h2><p>The film’s first scene goes back in time when Emperor Alexander, with his entourage, accidentally stumbles into a forest infested by Betals. Centuries later, rookie journalist Aloke Goyal (Khurrana) goes to the same forest with his friends for camping and gets lost in the middle and then is chased by a bear. He is rescued by one Thadaka (Madanna) a mysterious, alluring woman (or not) who nurses him back to health and even protects him from her own people, the ever hunting Betaals in the secret forest who are hunting for a human to offer to Thamma (leader of the pack) or Yakshasan (Nawazuddin Siddiqui), who has been held captive for over 75 years for breaking a cardinal rule- of sucking blood of humans and creating imbalance between two worlds.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>As Yakshasan’s men continue their hunt for a human, Tadaka and Aloke elope from the jungle to Delhi, where Aloke’s father, a retired accountant (Paresh Rawal), grows suspicious of Tadaka’s actual identity. Is she a vampire or a spirit or a human with superpowers? More importantly, can her love for Aloke protect him from Yakshasan’s men?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h2>What works in Thamma</h2><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The first half, when the world of Thamma is established, with Aloke and Tadaka discovering love for each other, is well executed. It’s a new film, a new story and one feels invested. Rashmika, who has been part of a few Bollywood films now, finally gets a role that gives her ample scope to perform, and she does not disappoint. She plays the wide-eyed, honest to a fault, good-hearted Betaal who hopelessly falls in love with a human and thus makes the biggest mistake of her life, jeopardising her community as well as the man she loves deeply. Rashmika plays the character is sincerity, highlighting the vulnerabilities and strengths of Tadaka well.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Giving her company is Ayushmann Khurrana. It’s always a delight to watch the actor perform. The script may not always be very cohesive, but Khurrrana, with his charm and natural acting, always manages to impress. He plays the usual Delhi boy, too self-assured, even though he fails at every juncture. But the film also gives him scope to try action along with comedy. He delivers the puns well, romances Rashmika and throws in punches when required.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Siddiqui also gets to play a motor-mouth, cocky villain who gets some interesting lines but has limited scope to completely showcase his talent. It's not Siddiqui’s fault; it is the poor writing that never flexes the actors well.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Paresh Rawal, Faisal Malik and Geeta Aggarwal are good in the limited screen time that they have.&nbsp;</p><h2>What does not work</h2><p>While the film manages to engage well in the first half and beautifully establishes the plot and the key characters, the curse of the second half sets in Thamma. Unnecessary cameos, an attempt to weave in other plots and characters from the franchise to build a connection, mar the narrative, making it sluggish. There are some sparks in between, one which involves Varun Dhawan’s Bhediya and Ayushmann’s Thamma battling it out. While the scene begins with the two taking each other down and dismissing each other’s potential (Vikas puri ka Warewolf and Sarojini ka sasta Vampire), the scene doesn’t end at the right place and stretches a bit too much.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>A lot of the elements, I felt, were haphazardly put together. Aloke’s parents are very involved in their son’s life but somehow vanish in the second half, especially his mom.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h2>Final verdict</h2><p>Since Thamma is the fifth film in the horror franchise, expectations are high from this one. It comes from the universe, which has given us the funny Stree, the thought-provoking Bhediya and the surprisingly refreshing Munjya in the past. Thamma turns out to be a sappy love story, but never leaves a defining impression. It entertains in parts, a lot of pop culture references invoke the humour, has great music, and even a message about humans and compassion tucked in, but it isn’t half as impactful as the previous hit films from the franchise.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Thamma is now running in theatres across the country.&nbsp;</p>

Thamma movie review: The fifth film in Maddock's horror comedy universe, the film explores the world of Betaal or Vampires who need to maintain a balance between their world and our world. The film stars Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna in the lead.

He is rescued by one Thadaka (Madanna) a mysterious, alluring woman (or not) who nurses him back to health and even protects him from her own people, the ever hunting Betaals in the secret forest who are hunting for a human to offer to Thamma (leader of the pack) or Yakshasan (Nawazuddin Siddiqui), who has been held captive for over 75 years for breaking a cardinal rule- of sucking blood of humans and creating imbalance between two worlds. As Yakshasan’s men continue their hunt for a human, Tadaka and Aloke elope from the jungle to Delhi, where Aloke’s father, a retired accountant (Paresh Rawal), grows suspicious of Tadaka’s actual identity. Is she a vampire or a spirit or a human with superpowers? More importantly, can her love for Aloke protect him from Yakshasan’s men? What works in Thamma The first half, when the world of Thamma is established, with Aloke and Tadaka discovering love for each other, is well executed. It’s a new film, a new story and one feels invested. Rashmika, who has been part of a few Bollywood films now, finally gets a role that gives her ample scope to perform, and she does not disappoint. She plays the wide-eyed, honest to a fault, good-hearted Betaal who hopelessly falls in love with a human and thus makes the biggest mistake of her life, jeopardising her community as well as the man she loves deeply. Rashmika plays the character is sincerity, highlighting the vulnerabilities and strengths of Tadaka well. Giving her company is Ayushmann Khurrana. It’s always a delight to watch the actor perform. The script may not always be very cohesive, but Khurrrana, with his charm and natural acting, always manages to impress. He plays the usual Delhi boy, too self-assured, even though he fails at every juncture. But the film also gives him scope to try action along with comedy. He delivers the puns well, romances Rashmika and throws in punches when required. Siddiqui also gets to play a motor-mouth, cocky villain who gets some interesting lines but has limited scope to completely showcase his talent. It's not Siddiqui’s fault; it is the poor writing that never flexes the actors well. Paresh Rawal, Faisal Malik and Geeta Aggarwal are good in the limited screen time that they have. What does not work While the film manages to engage well in the first half and beautifully establishes the plot and the key characters, the curse of the second half sets in Thamma. Unnecessary cameos, an attempt to weave in other plots and characters from the franchise to build a connection, mar the narrative, making it sluggish. There are some sparks in between, one which involves Varun Dhawan’s Bhediya and Ayushmann’s Thamma battling it out. While the scene begins with the two taking each other down and dismissing each other’s potential (Vikas puri ka Warewolf and Sarojini ka sasta Vampire), the scene doesn’t end at the right place and stretches a bit too much. A lot of the elements, I felt, were haphazardly put together. Aloke’s parents are very involved in their son’s life but somehow vanish in the second half, especially his mom. Final verdict Since Thamma is the fifth film in the horror franchise, expectations are high from this one. It comes from the universe, which has given us the funny Stree, the thought-provoking Bhediya and the surprisingly refreshing Munjya in the past. Thamma turns out to be a sappy love story, but never leaves a defining impression. It entertains in parts, a lot of pop culture references invoke the humour, has great music, and even a message about humans and compassion tucked in, but it isn’t half as impactful as the previous hit films from the franchise. Thamma is now running in theatres across the country.

<p>Thamma movie review: The fifth film in Maddock's horror comedy universe, the film explores the world of Betaal or Vampires who need to maintain a balance between their world and our world. The film stars Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna in the lead.&nbsp;</p>
