In 2024, Bollywood lovers have shown a special interest in horror-comedy movies. Earlier this year, Stree 2, became one of the highest-earning Indian movies beating the collection of Jawan. Later this year, 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3' also witnessed similar popularity. The movie enjoyed a Diwali release and is still running successfully in theatres. What has kept these franchises alive and popular? In this episode of E-Club, along with an interactive session with Indian star Vidya Balan on the topic, we have also made our deduction.

Pooja Entertainment refutes rumours of a three-film deal with Kartik Aryan

<p>Do we have a new couple in B-town? On Thursday, as Sara Ali Khan returned to Mumbai after a vacation in Mum with her mother, actress Amrita Singh and brother Ibrahim, she had a surprise waiting for her at the airport.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Kartik Aaryan, her co-star and rumoured boyfriend had come to the airport to receive Sara and her family as she returned from a vacation in London.&nbsp;<br />
Sara and Kartik just wrapped up shooting for Imtiaz Ali's next and by the looks of it, the two seemed to have missed each other a lot and that perhaps prompted Kartik to go to the airport.&nbsp;<br />
