Sarah Jessica Parker Bids Goodbye To Carrie Bradshaw: 'Been Frustrated And Rooted For Her'
Last Updated: Sarah Jessica Parker says an emotional goodbye to Carrie Bradshaw as And Just Like That wraps up with Season 3, calling it a 'joyous adventure.' Sarah Jessica Parker is officially bidding farewell to Carrie Bradshaw — the iconic character she embodied for nearly three decades. With HBO Max's And Just Like That concluding after its third season, Parker took to Instagram to reflect on her 27-year journey as the Sex and the City heroine and expressed heartfelt gratitude for the ride. 'Carrie Bradshaw has dominated my professional heartbeat for 27 years. I think I have loved her most of all," Parker wrote in a deeply emotional post. 'I know others have loved her just as I have. Been frustrated, condemned and rooted for her. The symphony of all those emotions has been the greatest soundtrack and most consequential companion. Therefore the most sentimental and profound gratitude and a lifetime of debt. To you all." View this post on Instagram A post shared by SJP (@sarahjessicaparker) Parker's co-star Kristin Davis, who plays Charlotte York, also penned a touching note following the announcement. 'I am profoundly sad. I love our whole beautiful cast and crew. 400 artisans working so hard on our show with deep love. And to our loyal fans, we love you forever and ever," Davis wrote. The news of the show ending was confirmed just as Season 3 started airing. Showrunner Michael Patrick King explained that they had initially chosen to delay the announcement to preserve the audience's excitement. 'We didn't want the word 'final' to overshadow the fun of watching the season. It's with great gratitude we thank all the viewers who have let these characters into their homes and their hearts over these many years," he said. From chronicling the ups and downs of single life in Manhattan to evolving into a tale of middle-age and reinvention, Carrie Bradshaw has remained an enduring cultural icon. With And Just Like That offering a bittersweet close to the story, Parker's tribute reminds fans just how deeply intertwined her real-life journey has been with the fictional one.

Housefull 5 on OTT: When and where to watch Akshay Kumar, Ritiesh Deshmukh's comedy thriller
The madness is back — and this time, it's streaming! 'Housefull 5', the latest instalment in the much-loved comedy franchise, is now officially streaming on Prime Video. The announcement was made in true Housefull style, with lead actors Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh, Sonam Bajwa, and Nargis Fakhri sharing a fun and quirky video on social media. In the video posted on their Instagram handles, the actors are seen creating comic chaos while teasing the film's digital debut. As the confusion builds up, Akshay Kumar finally cuts through the noise and says, 'Housefull 5 has released on Prime Video and everyone can go and watch.' Directed by Tarun Mansukhani and co-written by Farhad Samji, Housefull 5 is a madcap comedy set on a luxurious cruise ship. The story begins with the sudden death of a billionaire who names 'Jolly' as his heir. But the real confusion begins when three different men — played by Akshay, Riteish, and Abhishek — all show up claiming to be Jolly. What follows is a wild ride of mistaken identities, romantic entanglements, and a hilarious investigation, as their on-screen girlfriends — played by Jacqueline Fernandez, Sonam Bajwa, and Nargis Fakhri — team up with a bunch of over-the-top detectives to get to the truth. The film boasts a massive ensemble cast including Sanjay Dutt, Jackie Shroff, Nana Patekar, Chitrangda Singh, Dino Morea, Fardeen Khan, Johnny Lever, Chunky Panday, Shreyas Talpade, Archana Puran Singh, Bobby Deol, Mithun Chakraborty, and others. Produced by Sajid Nadiadwala, Firuzi Khan, and Warda Nadiadwala under Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment, the film delivers the franchise's trademark mix of slapstick humour, colourful chaos, and family-friendly entertainment.
