3. Vishal Jethwa on rumors of rift between Janhvi Kapoor, Ishaan Khatter
A video earlier went viral where fans guessed that things aren't good between Homebound co-stars Janhvi Kapoor and Ishaan Khatter. Now, in a conversation with Zoom, Vishal Jethwa refuted such rumors and said, 'Yeh sab baatein ban jaati hai. Aisa kuchh hai nahi. Maine Ishaan-Janhvi ko kaam karte dekha hai aur wo bahut hi comfortably kaam kar sakte hain.' (I have seen Ishaan and Janhvi working together and they are comfortable with each other).
Addressing the viral video where Janhvi Kapoor appeared to ignore Ishaan Khatter's extended hand on stage, Vishal Jethwa clarified what actually happened. The actor explained he was helping Janhvi with the trail of her outfit and wasn't sure how to manage it. He added that when Ishaan offered his hand, Janhvi was likely holding her outfit, which is why she didn't respond, suggesting there was no intentional snub, just a moment of practical distraction.
4. Aamir Khan considers several scripts before sealing deal with Rajkumar Hirani
Aamir Khan is all set for the release of Sitaare Zameen Par. He will next be seen in Rajkumar Hirani-directed Dadasaheb Phalke biopic. Now, a source exclusively told Pinkvilla, 'While Raju was working on Dadasaheb Phal ke, Aamir was simultaneously creatively involved to develop multiple scripts – ranging from two Rajkumar Santoshi films: Char Din Ki Zindagi and Andaz Apna Apna 2, to Ujjwal Nikam biopic with Dinesh Vijan, the Anurag Basu directed Kishore Kumar, and a film with Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra among others.'
The source also talked about PK and shared, 'There's a definite idea for PK 2, which Hirani, Abhijat and Aamir are excited about and they will revisit it after the Dadasaheb Phalke. It's a plot that organically leads itself to a sequel, with Aamir Khan and Ranbir Kapoor, but the boat is far away from sailing. Ranbir too is aware of the idea and is excited to play an alien,' the source concludes.
5. Ananya Panday on changing herself to please her partner

She also confessed that she often molds herself to match the person she's dating, whether it's by adopting their movie preferences or mirroring their fashion choices.
