Fan Gifts Paper Rose To Aditya Roy Kapur, Actor Responds With Sweet Hug
In a now-viral video, a fan approached Aditya Roy Kapur with a handmade paper rose.
Aditya Roy Kapur is riding high on the success of Metro… In Dino. While the Anurag Basu directorial continues to strike a chord with audiences in theatres, it's the actor's grounded charm and warm gestures off-screen that are winning hearts all over again.
Aditya Spotted Outside Krome Studio

But it wasn't just his look that caught attention; it was a small, sweet moment with a fan that made headlines.
The Rose Moment That Won the Internet

On-Screen Chemistry With Sara Ali Khan in Metro… In Dino
Aditya is also being lauded for his performance in Metro… In Dino, where he stars opposite Sara Ali Khan. Their fresh pairing has sparked major buzz, and audiences are loving their chemistry.
In a recent interview with Hindustan Times, Aditya shared that he and Sara didn't know each other before filming. He said, 'We didn't know each other before. We just knew each other socially, and that's not the same as spending hours together on a film set working on something together. I learned everything about Sara on the job. Promotions were even more intense because you end up spending a lot more time together just being yourself."
The actor, known for his romantic on-screen equations in films like Aashiqui 2, Ok Jaanu, and Malang, added, 'When it comes to chemistry, I don't think that's something that two people can sit and plan, saying we will now conjure it up. You can't do that, it's either there or it's not there. And that's for the audience to judge. Good writing helps, though and so does a good director, who helps to put you in situations that bring that out of both of you."
From OTT To Big Screen: Aditya's Love For Theatres
Aditya, who has won hearts with his OTT films like Ludo and The Night Manager, expressed his joy about returning to the big screen. He said, 'Having your film in the theatre is an amazing feeling and it's great to have that happen. I was so excited to be back with Dada (Anurag Basu, director) and doing another film with him. We had such a great time on Ludo but it felt like it was not complete. It felt like there was more to explore, so when he called about this film and told me the ideas that he had for this track, and for this character, it was very exciting and I just wanted to get back on set with him."
What's Next For Aditya Roy Kapur?
While nothing has been officially announced yet, Aditya's recent visit to Krome Studio has sparked curiosity about his next move. Is another project on the way? For now, the actor seems to be soaking in the love for Metro…In Dino and his fans are eagerly waiting to know what he's gearing up for next.

Bollywood rain songs: When rain stayed in the background, emotions took centre stage
Hindi music has often used the rain imagery to evoke drama onscreen. Rain often brings a sense of joy and nostalgia, coaxing us to hum melodies about saawan, bijli, baadal, barkha, and bahaar. It deepens the emotional drama of a scene, and sometimes says what words can't. "Rain is more than just visual. It becomes an expression, a mood, even a metaphor, depending on the scene," says cinematographer Nigam Bomzan (The Family Man 1, Marjaavan, The Empire, Jism 2). 'Rain has to be a character and not just a backdrop. It gives you a lot more than what the scene or actors are trying to tell you.' Kavita Seth echoes a similar sentiment when she says, 'To the educated and sensitive audience, romance of the rains lies in unearthing hidden meanings in lyrics that are connected with Nature.' From heartbreak to healing, freedom to desire, rain elevates a song's impact — often without the lyrics ever mentioning a single drop. As Nigam points out, 'Sometimes you don't even need background score when you have rain. You just place the boy, the girl, and the rain, like Mohit Suri did in Aashiqui 2. That's enough.' As Haruki Murakami once wrote, 'Look at the rain long enough… you gradually feel your body falling loose, shaking free of the world of reality.' Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like This Could Be the Best Time to Trade Gold in 5 Years IC Markets Learn More Undo by Taboola by Taboola That hypnotic quality defines cinema's enduring romance with rain — a romance that, as Raveena Tandon once said, 'will never lose its charm.' Pyaar Hua Ikraar Hua (Shree 420, 1955) Filmed on Raj Kapoor and Nargis, this Shankar–Jaikishen composition, voiced by Manna Dey and Lata Mangeshkar, perfectly captures the essence of love. Rain plays a perfect matchmaker here. The iconic image of Kapoor and Nargis sharing a tender moment under a shared umbrella in the song became the template for countless rain sequences in Bollywood that followed. Bhaage Re Mann (Chameli, 2004) A rain-drenched dance of release and reflection. Sunidhi Chauhan's mellow vocals and Kareena Kapoor Khan's fluid movement under falling drops combine to create a deeply serene, almost meditative experience. With each listen, the song urges you to step out and dance in the rain. Kaate Nahi Kat Te (Mr. India, 1987) In an era when Indian films often used bobbing flowers as a metaphor for passion, rain songs emerged as a bolder and more sensual alternative. Kaate Nahi Kat Te features Sridevi in her trademark chiffon sari, evoking splendour and sensuality. Combined with Javed Akhtar's evocative lyrics, the rain setting beautifully amplifies the longing and romantic intensity. Kyunki Tum Hi Ho (Aashiqui 2, 2013) One of the most memorable recent rain scenes shows Aditya Roy Kapur and Shraddha Kapoor sharing a romantic moment under a coat on the streets of Mumbai. While it may not quite match the magic of Pyaar Hua Ikraar Hua, it still offers a powerful, rain-soaked romantic number for contemporary Bollywood fans. Tum Se Hi (Jab We Met, 2007) Mohit Chauhan's composition carries the romance, with Kareena Kapoor and Shahid Kapoor drenched in rain, celebrating love through imagination and rain-burnished emotion. Dilbara Dilbara (Dhoom, 2004) Not all rain sequences are romantic. Esha Deol and Uday Chopra, in a playful rain-dance amidst car repairs, use rain to invite joy and spontaneity—adding lighthearted mischief that contrasts with traditional themes. Mana Ki Hum Yaar Na (Meri Pyaari Bindu, 2017) Like love, rain is unpredictable. It can whisper or roar, tease or console, hide or reveal. It makes ordinary streets sparkle, slows down racing hearts, and turns the simple act of getting soaked into a million stories of longing, laughter and sometimes even heartbreak, as in this Sachin-Jigar composition. Kausar Munir has beautifully penned the song. Mere Khwaabon Mein Jo (DDLJ, 1995) Hindi cinema doesn't only want you sitting in one place and pontificating about life. It also wants you to go out on the streets and experience the rain in its gusty, splashy, unpredictable madness, like Kajol does in Aditya Chopra's Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge as she tells her mother about the man of her dreams in Jatin-Lalit composition Mere Khwaabon Mein Jo. Janam Janam (Dilwale, 2015) Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol echo the Raj Kapoor–Nargis umbrella scene from Pyaar Hua, updated for modern audiences. Sung by Arijit Singh, this song rekindles nostalgia with Pritam's composition and Amitabh Bhattacharya's lyrics. Taal Se Taal Mila (Taal, 1999) Alka Yagnik and Udit Narayan's duet, backed by AR Rahman's blend of classical and modern beats, makes the monsoon feel like music you have to move to and completely lose yourself in its rhythm. Chori Chori Jab Nazrein Mili (Kareeb, 1998) A romantic rain song from the 1998 film Kareeb, directed by Vidhu Vinod Chopra, is sung by Kumar Sanu and Sanjivani, with music by Anu Malik. The song pulls you into a world where love is everything and easily becomes a monsoon favourite you'll want to play on repeat.

'Million Dollar Man' Ted DiBiase is also reportedly in the city. SmackDown starts at 5 PM PT.

'He was a trailblazer, the first performer who transitioned from being a wrestling star into a global phenomenon,' McMahon said of Hogan.

"Rest in Peace, Terry Bollea aka The Immortal Hulk Hogan. To millions of little kids you were a childhood hero - myself included," the 53-year-old actor wrote in the caption. "In 1984, I gave you your 'HULKSTER' headband back, in the locker room in Madison Square Garden - I was the lucky kid caught it when you threw it in the crowd. You were shocked and so happy after the match because you told me that was your very last headband and if it weren't for me, you'd have no way of getting that exact one made again. You promised me that you would get more made and give me a Hulkster headband of my own as a thank you gift. And that meant the world to that little 12 year-old boy," he wrote. (With AP inputs)
