When Anushka praised PeeCee, DP ’s Hollywood success

Before becoming a well-known actor, Ronit Roy went through some really tough times—think surviving on just roti and onions and scraping by on tiny paychecks after his debut in the early '90s. A kind dhaba owner even stepped in to feed him when he was completely broke. It’s a raw look at the struggles behind the glitz of Bollywood.

Editor’s Note: Fame isn’t always an overnight ride, and Roy’s story is a reminder that even big stars often start from rock bottom. It humanizes the industry and resonates with anyone who’s ever hustled through hard times—plus, it’s a nod to the small acts of kindness that keep people going.

Looks like fans of Sidharth Malhotra and Janhvi Kapoor will have to wait a bit longer for Param Sundari—Maddock Films is pushing the release from late July to August 29. The delay isn’t entirely surprising, given the lack of trailers or buzz so far. The shift might also give Son Of Sardaar 2 some breathing room, avoiding a crowded box office clash.

Editor’s Note: Release date shuffles are pretty common in Bollywood, but this one’s interesting because it hints at how studios juggle competition. Moving Param Sundari could mean the studio’s playing it safe—either to polish the film or dodge a box office showdown. Either way, August just got a little more crowded for moviegoers.

Shabana Azmi gave fans a glimpse into her family’s sweet London getaway by sharing an adorable photo of her husband, legendary lyricist Javed Akhtar, and stepson Farhan Akhtar bonding over ice creams. The candid shot, paired with her playful caption about holiday indulgences, shows a rare, relaxed moment between the usually private Bollywood icons.

Editor’s Note: Beyond the usual glitz of Bollywood, this tiny moment humanizes two of the industry’s most respected figures—reminding us that even stars cherish simple, sugary joys with family. It’s a refreshing break from the usual drama-heavy celebrity updates.

While Salman Khan’s Battle of Galwan is grabbing headlines, a smaller film with the same focus—LAC: Battle of Galwan—has run into trouble with India’s censor board (CBFC). Director Nitin Kumar Gupta says the board asked for cuts, including toning down violent scenes and removing direct mentions of the real-life clash location. The film stars Rahul Roy, but it’s unclear if these edits will delay its release or alter its message.

Editor’s Note: Censorship battles like this aren’t new, but they highlight the tightrope filmmakers walk when tackling sensitive real-world events—especially ones tied to national pride or political tension. If even the setting of a story is deemed too controversial, it raises questions about creative freedom and how India’s institutions handle retellings of recent history. Audiences might wonder: Will these cuts water down the film’s impact, or are they just bureaucratic caution? Either way, it’s a reminder that storytelling about real conflicts rarely gets a free pass.

Derek Dixon is taking legal action against Tyler Perry, alleging sexual harassment and assault during a meeting about a pilot script. Dixon, who resigned from Perry's show The Oval, filed a $260 million lawsuit and an EEOC complaint, claiming Perry made unwanted advances and attempted assault. He says he’s speaking out to prevent Perry from continuing this behavior unchecked.

Editor’s Note: This isn’t just another Hollywood lawsuit—it’s a high-stakes accusation against one of the industry’s most powerful figures. If Dixon’s claims hold up, it could shake Perry’s empire and reignite conversations about accountability in entertainment. But given Perry’s influence, this case could also become a messy, drawn-out battle. Either way, it’s a story worth watching.
