Sanvikaa On Her 'Unsaid Chemistry' With Jitendra; Varun Dhawan Urges Media To Respect Privacy
Last Updated: Sanvikaa spoke about her chemistry with Jitendra in Panchayat, while Varun Dhawan urged the media to handle a celebrity's final journey with dignity and sensitivity. Pooja Singh, who goes by her stage name Sanvikaa, has quietly but powerfully etched her presence in the hearts of viewers with her portrayal of Rinki in Prime Video's Panchayat. As the series continues to trend, News18 Showsha exclusively caught up with the actor for a candid conversation on her bond with co-stars Jitendra Kumar, Neena Gupta, and Raghubir Yadav, how life has changed since Panchayat happened, and her cinematic dreams. Varun Dhawan penned a strong note, urging the media to cover a celebrity's final journey with the utmost sensitivity. Though he didn't name anyone in his post, the actor's note comes right after Shefali Jariwala's death on Friday night. He also added that this isn't the way someone would want their last journey to be covered. Looks like the Hera Pheri 3 controversy has come to an end! Weeks after the news of Paresh Rawal's exit from Priyadarshan's film left everyone shocked, the veteran actor has now confirmed his return to the film, which also stars Akshay Kumar and Suniel Shetty. In his latest interview, Paresh Rawal said that the differences have been 'resolved', and that the film will proceed as planned. Amitabh Bachchan has never shied away from publicly expressing his pride in his son, Abhishek Bachchan. In a recent heartfelt blog post, the legendary actor once again showered praise on Abhishek, calling him his 'uttaradhikari"—a true successor—not merely by blood but by merit and dedication. Reflecting on the profound quote from his father, the late Harivansh Rai Bachchan, Big B wrote, 'Mere bete, bete hone se mere uttaradhikari nahi honge; jo mere uttaradhikari honge woh mere bete honge" — a powerful assertion that inheritors are defined not by lineage but by action and values. Bollywood superstar Deepika Padukone couldn't contain her admiration for Brad Pitt following the global release of his much-anticipated racing film F1. On Sunday, the Pathaan actor took to her Instagram Stories to share a playful tribute to Pitt, simply writing: 'Brad Pitt. That's it, that's the post. IYKYK." With that cheeky declaration, Deepika joined millions of fans around the world in swooning over the 60-year-old Hollywood icon's performance as a comeback Formula One driver.
