Diljit Dosanjh tries to douse rumours of removal from 'Border 2', drops video from the shoot
Mumbai: Contrary to the previous reports that Diljit Dosanjh has been removed from "Border 2", it looks like the Punjabi actor and singer continues to remain a part of the sequel. Putting the rumor mills to rest, Diljit has shared a video from "Border 2" on his office Instagram handle. As he entered the location, he was welcomed with a loud cheer by the crowd. It seems like Diljit was shooting a song sequence from the forthcoming war drama. He even added the track "Sandese Aate Hai" from the original drama, "Border" in the background. Diljit has recently been facing a lot of backlash for working with Pakistani actress Hania Aamir in "Sardaar Ji 3". It was reported that Diljit has been removed from "Border 2" amidst the row. It was even reported that Punjabi actor Ammy Virk might replace him in the sequel. FWICE (Federation of Western India Cine Employees) even wrote a letter to Bhushan Kumar, JP Dutta, Nidhi Dutta, and Anurag Singh, urging them to remove Diljit from "Border 2". "The Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE), representing the core workforce of the Indian film and television industry, is deeply disappointed and concerned by the casting of actor-singer Mr. Diljit Dosanjh in your upcoming film Border 2 produced under the banner of JP Films in collaboration with T-Series and directed by Mr. Anurag Singh. By choosing to collaborate with an artist who has so brazenly ignored the ongoing tensions and national sentiment, your production has directly undermined the stand taken by the Indian film industry in solidarity with the nation," the letter read. Directed by Anurag Singh, "Border 2" stars Sunny Deol, and Varun Dhawan in pivotal roles, along with others. Presented by Gulshan Kumar & T-Series & JP Dutta's J.P. Films, the drama is expected to be based on the 1999 Kargil War. "Border 2" is likely to be released on January 23, 2026.

Shefali Jariwala's cause of death still unclear, Abhishek Bachchan reacts to misinformation, Sunjay Kapur's sister pens emotional note: Top 5 Entertainment News
The entertainment world is abuzz with headlines that blend drama, emotion, and intrigue. From the ongoing forensic investigation into Shefali Jariwala's tragic demise, where chemical analysis is still underway, to Mandhira Kapur's heartfelt message remembering her brother Sunjay Kapur and their late father—emotions are running high. Meanwhile, Abhishek Bachchan breaks his silence on social media trolling, saying, 'I have a family, it's upsetting,' as he addresses the wave of misinformation surrounding him. Here are the top 5 entertainment stories making the loudest noise in tinsel town today. Shefali Jariwala's demise: Forensic tests and chemical analysis continue; exact cause still uncertain- Report A team of five forensic doctors at Cooper Hospital carried out the postmortem on Shefali's body. However, as reported by India Today, they did not state any clear reason behind her passing. Instead, they have sent tissue samples for post-mortem histology and kept her viscera aside for chemical analysis at Kalina Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL). Police involved in the probe said histopathology is carried out only when a normal postmortem does not clearly show why someone passed away and if the viscera have been saved for chemical tests. Once both these checks are finished and the lab sends its report, doctors will finally be able to say what exactly caused Shefali Jariwala's demise. 'Our world will never be the same': Sunjay Kapur's sister Mandhira Kapur pens emotional note as she misses her brother and father Sunjay Kapur, the businessman and polo player who was once married to actress Karisma Kapoor, passed away recently in London. His sudden demise has left his family shattered. His sister, Mandhira Kapur, has been sharing her grief on Instagram, posting heartfelt tributes for her late brother. Mandhira took to Instagram two days ago, to remember her father, who passed away ten years ago. She wrote, "Missing dad today. Can't believe it's been 10 years Bhaiya and him are together looking down on us. Miss them, our world will never be the same." Friends from Bollywood like Mozes Singh and Bhavana Panday also left kind messages in the comments, offering their support. 'I have a family, it's upsetting,' says Abhishek Bachchan as he reacts to all the 'misinformation' about him and social media trolling: 'People who put out negativity...' - EXCLUSIVE During a chat with ETimes, when asked why he never chose to clarify any misinformation, Abhishek Bachchan said, "Because the person who is putting out the misinformation and the lies is not interested in clarity or in correction. Previously, things that were said about me, didn't affect me. Today, I have a family and it's very upsetting. Even if I clarify something, people will turn it around. Because negative news sells. You're not me. You don't live my life. You're not answerable to the people that I'm answerable to. People who put out such negativity, have to live with their conscience. 'Govinda was always insecure,' says Pahlaj Nihalini, revealing if it the rumours of the actor being arrogant were true Govinda known for movies like 'Hero No 1', 'Raja Babu', 'Aankhen' among many others is still remembered for his iconic roles, comic timing and dancing. However, his fans have been quite disappointed as he hasn't done movies in a while and been away from the screen. Many have spoken about Govinda's career decline in the past and blamed his 'superstitious' side along with a bit of arrogance for it. In a recent interview, former CBFC chief and producer Pahlaj Nihalini reacted if its true that Govinda is arrogant. He reacted and said on Learn From The Legend podcast, 'Govinda was always insecure in everything. His father was a huge hero of Mehboob Khan. He was a producer also, had so many losses. Usne itna dard saaha uske baad, bahut saari cheezein unke haath se nikal gayi, aur struggle karna pada. All those things were built inside him while doing something.' Aamir Khan says Javed Miandad ruined his wedding with Reena Dutta: 'Depression mein chala gaya tha main' In a recent interview, Aamir shared details of his wedding and how Javed Miandad spoilt his wedding day for him. Aamir and Reena had run away and got married. They returned home as if nothing had happened. He said, 'Mujhe laga sab puchenge kahaan the itni der (We thought our families will question us about being so late).' But luckily for them, that day there was a match between two neighboring countries and everyone was so engrossed in it. Thus, nobody even noticed that they were not at home. But the match put Aamir in depression. He said, 'It was a match day. The same match where Javed Miandad hit a six on the last ball. We were winning that match so nobody cared to ask us about our absence for so long. I too joined them and was watching cricket, however, Javed's six ruined it all.
