Aneet Padda shares heartfelt birthday message for Saiyaara co-star Ahaan Panday; 'You were always a star'

<p>Social media is a treasure trove. You just don’t know what you can find there. But not all posts are genuine. Days after James Cameron’s latest film Avatar: Fire and Ash was released in theatres all across the world, videos of Bollywood actor Govinda’s cameo in the film are making the rounds on the internet. Several clips have been circulated on X and Instagram which show Govinda in Pandora as a Na’vi. &nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>But here’s the truth. All these images are actually AI-generated and fake.&nbsp;</p><h2>Govinda in Pandora?</h2><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The AI-generated videos show Govinda, in blue colours similar to the Na'vi people from Avatar, doing a monologue. Another picture shows viewers watching the film in a theatre with Govinda on screen in a Gujarati-style colourful jacket, bonding with Jake Sully.</p><p>These videos have left many in splits but also some confused.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>People have been questioning the genuineness of the videos. “<i>Sch me h kya ye</i> (Is this for real),” asked someone. Another added to the confusion and wrote. &nbsp;“<i>Yr iss scene pr goosebumps aa gye the </i>(Guys, this scene gave me goosebumps).”</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p><p>“This was totally unexpected but I loved the cameo,” joked another. “<i>Og is back phaly Akshay Khana or ab lord Govinda</i> (first it was Akshaye Khanna and now Govinda),” wrote a fan.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The truth is far from what’s been shown on X.

He recalled an incident and said, “I even left an offer of ₹21.5 crore, although I remember this because it was painful. I had met a Sardarji in America and gave him a business idea to work in sweets and delicacies. Some years later, he said that the idea worked wonders for him. There, he made me meet James Cameron. He asked me to do a film with James, so I invited them for dinner to discuss it.”</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>He added, <i>“Picture ka title bhi maine hi diya tha. Maine Rajesh Khanna ji ko dekha tha left hand kata hua… maine kaha, ‘Yaar accha aadmi he pata nahi kyu ajeeb sa role kar liya!’ Toh maine kaha, ‘Second time banegi Avatar!’ Toh mujhe kehta hai, ‘The hero is lame!’ </i>(I had only given the title.

Does James Cameron's latest film, Avatar: Fire and Ash, feature Bollywood actor Govinda in a cameo role? The Internet is flooded with videos and photos of the actor dressed as a Na'vi. Here's the truth.

Social media is a treasure trove. You just don’t know what you can find there. But not all posts are genuine. Days after James Cameron’s latest film Avatar: Fire and Ash was released in theatres all across the world, videos of Bollywood actor Govinda’s cameo in the film are making the rounds on the internet. Several clips have been circulated on X and Instagram which show Govinda in Pandora as a Na’vi. But here’s the truth. All these images are actually AI-generated and fake. Govinda in Pandora? The AI-generated videos show Govinda, in blue colours similar to the Na'vi people from Avatar, doing a monologue. Another picture shows viewers watching the film in a theatre with Govinda on screen in a Gujarati-style colourful jacket, bonding with Jake Sully. These videos have left many in splits but also some confused. People have been questioning the genuineness of the videos. “Sch me h kya ye (Is this for real),” asked someone. Another added to the confusion and wrote. “Yr iss scene pr goosebumps aa gye the (Guys, this scene gave me goosebumps).”

Wait, is that Govinda in James Cameron’s Avatar: Fire and Ash?

<p><i>Dhurandhar</i>, helmed by Aditya Dhar and starring Ranveer Singh in the lead role, was released in cinemas on December 5 and since then has been shattering box office records. With rave reviews from audiences and critics, the action-thriller's plot and performance have become the hot topic of the discussion. Apart from the plot and acting skills of the cast, the soundtrack of the film has become an instant hit.

He quoted, "In my head, she was (the one). I had suggested her, but Aditya was very clear that he did not want what people call an item song, something that went out of the story.

<h2>&nbsp;</h2><h2>About Dhurandhar</h2><p>Dhurandhar follows the story of an Indian spy named Hamza who infiltrates Pakistan to join Rehman Dakait's gang. The film is inspired by real-life events, ranging from the 2001 Parliament attack and the 26/11 Mumbai terror attack, to 2009. Ranveer Singh plays Hamza in the film, while Akshaye Khanna plays Rehman Dakait.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Written, directed and co-produced by Aditya Dhar, it also stars R Madhavan, Arjun Rampal, Sanjay Dutt, Sara Arjun and Rakesh Bedi in lead roles. Manav Gohil, Danish Pandor, Saumya Tandon, Gaurav Gera and Naveen Kaushik feature in supporting roles.</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

Dhurandhar's hit song Shararat has found a new fan- The Jonas Brothers. Nick Jonas recently shared a video of the trio dancing to the song. Here is how the film's lead actor Ranveer Singh reacted to the video. 

We are now convinced that American singer Nick Jonas has a desi heart. Married to Desi girl Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Nick often shares videos of himself vibing to Indian hits. The latest video has him and members of his band, The Jonas Brothers, dancing to the hit song Shararat from Ranveer Singh starrer Dhurandhar. The video has Nick, Joe and Kevin dancing to the hit song. Nick captioned the video as, “New pre show hype song unlocked.” The song is sung by Jasmine Sandlas, Madhubanti Bagchi and Shashwat Sachdev. It was picturised on Ayesha Khan and Krystle D'Souza in the film. Ranveer Singh reacts to Nick Jonas' video In a few hours after the video was shared online, Ranveer posted a hilarious comment on the post, and said, “Hahahahahaa JIJUUUU JAAANE DEEEEE (laughing face and red heart emoticons).” Nick replied to Ranveer and wrote, “Bhai! Dhurandhar title track is up next! Love to you and the family! Let's go!” For the uninitiated, Nick Jonas is lovingly called ‘Jiju’ (brother -in -law in Hindi) by Indian paparazzi and the term of endearment has become popular over the years.

Ranveer Singh reacts as ‘Jiju’ Nick Jonas shares a video of The Jonas Brothers dancing to Dhurandhar song

<p>&nbsp;<br>When the first season of Four More Shots Please! was released in 2019, it quickly grabbed attention for the unique and luxurious way it told the story of four urban women, each very distinct, living unapologetic lives in Mumbai. At the time, there was a real scarcity of women-led shows that openly talked about women and their experiences with sex, divorce, cheating and even how casual hook-up is a casual and should take as a normal thing. Although the show faced an equal amount of scrutiny, too. Nevertheless, it felt refreshing.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The first season was truly one of a kind, and, as I remember from what Sayani Gupta’s character, Damini Rizvi Roy, says in season 4, it was that one show that broke the glass ceiling. However, as the series has continued, I remain sceptical about whether it has been able to maintain the same aura and impact that it had in season 1. As I watched season 4, it seemed that the show had derailed from the topic that it first addressed most perfectly. But the only thing that is left now is fashion and hook-ups, and of course, drinks!</p><h2>What is Four More Shots Please! Season 4 about?</h2><p>Season 4 opens with the four girls, Damini (Sayani Gupta), Umang (Bani J), and Anjana (Kirti Kulhari), as they gather to get their girl, Siddhi (Maanvi Gagroo), married. The strangers who first met at Truck Bar have grown into close friends and are the most important part of each other’s lives. At a lavish hotel, Siddhi is set to tie the knot, and all three girls, dressed impeccably, are the best bridesmaids. Before the wedding, Siddhi has pre-jitters as she misses her late father, but the girls are there to support her and walk her down the aisle.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also read:</strong> &nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood/avatar-fire-and-ash-movie-review-all-spectacle-no-soul-pandora-james-cameron-1766133893751">Avatar: Fire and Ash movie review: James Cameron's film is all spectacle, no soul</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The wedding happens, the celebrations follow, and then everyone returns to their normal lives in Mumbai. Siddhi is a stand-up comedian, Damini starts her podcast featuring women who have broken glass ceilings with their achievements, Umang successfully runs her gym, Umami, though she struggles to find the right partner, and Anjana is running her law firm successfully. Yet, despite having the best life, Anjana feels that something is missing that she needs to find and understand.</p><p>In the first episode, the girls make a pact - each of them has six months to work on their biggest personal issues, which they have to address honestly. They set goals for one another, focusing on emotional growth, relationship struggles, happiness, and exploring life.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h2>The four women are just living and loving</h2><p>As they return to their day-to-day routines, the girls get busy with their individual lives. Siddhi struggles with the lack of intimacy. But as a stand-up comedian, Siddhi is doing great as she continues to joke about her sex-life, which upsets her husband. However, she shifts to content creation, making videos alongside Ash (Kunal Roy Kapur), Damini’s brother, who is now single.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

Still from Four More Shots Please

<p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Meanwhile, Damini continues to grow as a podcaster, Umang focuses on expanding Umami while still searching for a relationship as she signs on to online dating and is doing swipe right and left, and Anjana manages her professional and personal life with confidence. However, the spark that she feels she missed in her twenties is back when she meets Rohan (Dino Morea). He teaches her how to ride a bike, they have great sex, and he becomes the gateway to fun and freedom as she discovers new things.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h2>Four More Shots Please is not that Four More Shots Please</h2><p>Season 4 is progressive in every aspect. But it lacks at so many points. The issues the show addresses becomes repetative and are unnecessarily exaggerated. Dialogues and performances that were once impactful now seem forced. The show touches upon many topics, yet it addresses nothing. One such example is when Damini is considering freezing her eggs. While it is a relevant topic today, the show just mentions it for the sake of the trend. The inconsistency in the story makes you question why this season was even made, what was the core motif behind these stories, leaving it feeling like a rushed attempt to just conclude the series.</p>

Four More Shots Please

<p>&nbsp;</p><p>Earlier, it was enjoyable to watch the women live their lives, make mistakes, and fight their battles; what if they were funny; these moments no longer leave that smile. Their experiences are way too unrealistic that I failed to relate to at several points. To the characters that we loved, these ladies in latest season come across as super-rich women gossiping over drinks.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>In season 4, entertainment and drama take the front seat with lust and alcohol becoming the core focus. And at last, what these ladies ended up with is a good closure with their partner and friends on their side.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Directors Arunima Sharma and Neha Parti Matiyani, the new season comes with the same uber-cool vibes with sleek and aesthetic places and glamour on the Mumbai streets. &nbsp;All the actor's give their best, but again, they go off-board several times as the characters get stuck in their own mess, confusion, and decisions.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If you have watch first three seasons, then watch the last season for closure. Otherwise, for good fashion.&nbsp;</p>

Directors Arunima Sharma and Neha Parti Matiyani, Four More Shots Please! revolves around four women Damini (Sayani Gupta), Umang (Bani J), and Anjana (Kirti Kulhari), and, Siddhi (Maanvi Gagroo) and they live, love and fall in the uber-cool Mumbai. 

When the first season of Four More Shots Please! was released in 2019, it quickly grabbed attention for the unique and luxurious way it told the story of four urban women, each very distinct, living unapologetic lives in Mumbai. At the time, there was a real scarcity of women-led shows that openly talked about women and their experiences with sex, divorce, cheating and even how casual hook-up is a casual and should take as a normal thing. Although the show faced an equal amount of scrutiny, too. Nevertheless, it felt refreshing. The first season was truly one of a kind, and, as I remember from what Sayani Gupta’s character, Damini Rizvi Roy, says in season 4, it was that one show that broke the glass ceiling. However, as the series has continued, I remain sceptical about whether it has been able to maintain the same aura and impact that it had in season 1. As I watched season 4, it seemed that the show had derailed from the topic that it first addressed most perfectly. But the only thing that is left now is fashion and hook-ups, and of course, drinks! What is Four More Shots Please! Season 4 about? Season 4 opens with the four girls, Damini (Sayani Gupta), Umang (Bani J), and Anjana (Kirti Kulhari), as they gather to get their girl, Siddhi (Maanvi Gagroo), married. The strangers who first met at Truck Bar have grown into close friends and are the most important part of each other’s lives. At a lavish hotel, Siddhi is set to tie the knot, and all three girls, dressed impeccably, are the best bridesmaids. Before the wedding, Siddhi has pre-jitters as she misses her late father, but the girls are there to support her and walk her down the aisle.

Siddhi is a stand-up comedian, Damini starts her podcast featuring women who have broken glass ceilings with their achievements, Umang successfully runs her gym, Umami, though she struggles to find the right partner, and Anjana is running her law firm successfully. Yet, despite having the best life, Anjana feels that something is missing that she needs to find and understand. In the first episode, the girls make a pact - each of them has six months to work on their biggest personal issues, which they have to address honestly. They set goals for one another, focusing on emotional growth, relationship struggles, happiness, and exploring life. The four women are just living and loving As they return to their day-to-day routines, the girls get busy with their individual lives. Siddhi struggles with the lack of intimacy. But as a stand-up comedian, Siddhi is doing great as she continues to joke about her sex-life, which upsets her husband. However, she shifts to content creation, making videos alongside Ash (Kunal Roy Kapur), Damini’s brother, who is now single.

Shilpa Shetty and her husband Raj Kundra may have been accused of a Rs 60 crore fraud case, but that’s not stopping her from expanding her restaurant business. On Thursday, the Bollywood actor announced the opening date of her new South Indian restaurant, Ammakai, which is set to launch at the same Bandra location where her popular restaurant chain Bastian had opened its first outlet. Bastian has been relocated to Juhu and rebranded as Bastian Beach Club, while Ammakai will take its place in Bandra, where the popular eatery was previously located. On Thursday, Shilpa shared a video announcing Ammakai’s grand opening on December 19 (Friday) and revealed that it took a year of planning for the restaurant to finally open its doors. In the video, she said, “This is going to be worth the wait. It’s an ode to my roots and comfort food that reminds me of home. The restaurant will also have all the Bastian favourites.” In the caption, Shilpa wrote, “The doors are ready to open, the kitchen is buzzing, and Amma has officially said YES.
