Khalia Bhatt: Say fans because Alia Bhatt ate with her Rekha-inspired look; call Janhvi Kapoor Umrao Jaanu
Apart from being one of the most beautiful women in showbiz, Rekha (70) also has a legacy of being one of the most versatile performers to shine on the silver screen. In her illustrious career as an actor, Rekha has won hearts time and again with her performances. But one of her most glorious and impactful acts was in Muzaffar Ali's 1981 film Umrao Jaan. Ahead of the film's re-release in theatres today, a special screening was held for Bollywood stars last night in Mumbai. In what seemed like a beautiful tribute, actor Alia Bhatt (32) dressed up and how! What was so special about the look? Well, it was inspired by Rekha's iconic blush pink saree moment from Silsila (1981). Alia Bhatt (with Rekha) and Janhvi Kapoor at the premiere of Umrao Jaan in Mumbai
Needless to say, Alia Bhatt turned heads as she walked the red carpet in her high platform heels, draped in six-yards of blush pink elegance and kohled eyes. She paired the Tarun Tahiliani saree with a contemporary blouse featuring an embellished collar and a keyhole neckline.
Alia looked gorgeous and fans couldn't help but gush over the movie-inspired look. For instance, one netizen claimed, 'TBH she ate. Khalia Bhatt,' whereas another fan wrote, '10 outta 10, she's glowing, love the blouse and the color of the saree and the hair also looks fab.' Another comment read, 'What's up with her?? She is killing it nowadays,' while a fan shared, 'Alia in traditional wear never disappoints. Never seen a woman get that saree glow up the way Alia gets it.' Remembering Alia's look in Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani (2023), a fan stated, 'rani? is that you?' Sharing glimpses from the premiere of Umrao Jaan with her 'ReMaa', Alia wrote, 'An ode to a living legend… there never, was, is or will ever be another like you, ReMaa 💕.' Well, Alia wasn't the only star who shined bright last night.
Another guest who graced the red carpet paying a perfect tribute to her 'Pedamma' Rekha was Janhvi Kapoor (28). For the occasion, Janhvi decided to dress up as modern-day Umrao Jaan in an ivory anarkali suit featuring intricate embroidery. Gushing over JK's look, a social media user wrote, 'Modern day Mughal-e-Azam vibe 👸🌟,' whereas another comment read, 'Umrao Jaanu 😍.' Meanwhile, others compared Janhvi to her late superstar mother Sridevi. One such fan stated, 'Apki mom ke jese hi lagte ho beautiful ❤️✨ @janhvikapoor,' while another comment read, 'Why is she giving shrideviji look??? ✨❤️'
We wish Rekha all the love as she returns to the silver screen as Umrao Jaan to win hearts once again.

Vidya Balan rejected a film that starred THIS celebrated actor, he got upset and
Vidya Balan rejected a film that starred THIS celebrated actor, he got upset and "fired" her, terrified Vidya asked John Abraham to save her, the actor was... In the glitzy and glamorous world of Bollywood, it's usually the dazzling and glamorous life of celebrities that comes to the forefront. However, what happens behind the scenes, when the curtain falls, is a lot more than what meets the eye. One such tale is of Bollywood's celebrated actress Vidya Balan, which highlighted how she is honest and true to her craft. This incident goes back in time when Vidya Balan was a newcomer in the industry. She found herself in a pickle. Vidya was offered a role opposite Akshaye Khanna, an opportunity that a lot of newcomers dream of. However, Vidya couldn't resonate with the character and the story, so despite the big opportunity, she turned it down and rejected the offer. This decision did not sit well with Akshaye Khanna. Although Vidya had conveyed her disinterest in the film, she did not inform Akshay Khanna directly. Neither did she call Akshaye to inform him, nor did she take his calls. Naturally, Akshaye Khanna was upset with Vidya's exit from the film without even talking to him directly. Akshaye Khanna 'Fired' Vidya Balan Later, during the shoot of a multi-starrer film, Salaam-E-Ishq of Nikhil Advani, Akshaye Khanna lashed out at Vidya for learning about her exit from someone else. Vidya, who was a newcomer then, got concerned and frightened. To defend herself, she went to her co-star John Abraham for rescue. 'Can you please save me?' I just didn't want any confrontation or to hurt anyone's feelings. But later, I realised he was just pulling my leg,' she said. Akshaye Khanna reportedly 'fired' Vidya for this, but later she learned that this was all happening in light light-hearted spirit and Akshaye was just pulling her leg. This incident became an event worth remembering for Vidya. In an interview, talking about this incident, Vidya said, 'I didn't want anyone to feel bad. I was new and didn't want it to look like I was rejecting the film just because of who was in it.' Speaking of Vidya's recent work, she was last seen in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, alongside Kartik Aaryan, Madhuri Dixit, and Triptii Dimri, which released last Diwali and became a massive hit.
