EXCLUSIVE VIDEO: Apoorva Mukhija has sassy comment on fight with Uorfi Javed, spills tea on Bigg Boss 19 offer

Karan Johar -hosted Indian reality series The Traitors saw its first season end with a massive fight breaking out between contestants Uorfi Javed and Apoorva Mukhija. The two social media sensations lashed out at each other in the most brutal way and continued even after the show ended, when the duo took jibes at each other on social media. And recently, Apoorva broke her silence on the matter once more amid other interesting revelations. Apoorva Mukhija's sassy comment on Uorfi Javed In an exclusive interview with Pinkvilla, Apoorva Mukhija played a game where she was given a name from each of the contestants from The Traitors and had to reveal what came to mind instantly with it. When she was asked about Uorfi, The Rebel Kid instantly said, 'I have spoken about her in my story time, and I cannot give her more footage.' Has Apoorva bagged an offer to participate in Bigg Boss? In another excerpt of her revelations, Apoorva was asked about whether she has been approached to participate in the popular reality show series Bigg Boss. The social media star made an interesting response to the question. In her words, 'Yes. I mean, I always say ki never say never. So I would never say do something. But I think just captive reality as a space is very anxiety-inducing, and as a person who already overthinks a lot and has anxiety, it's just tough space to be in.' She added 'But ab paise se kya hai upar duniya mein? Ab paisa hoga toh karlenge. Dekhte hai.' When Apoorva compared Traitors with Bigg Boss In one of her YouTube vlogs a few days ago, Apoorva, while discussing with Elnaaz Nouruzi, compared Traitors to Bigg Boss and agreed on how tough it had been for every participant who was a part of it. She said, 'Being without your phones, not knowing, not having anyone to talk to, constantly being followed by your shadows, the wind chimes, constantly fighting with people, not having the food that you want to eat, it was all just too much." More about Bigg Boss 19 For the unversed, Bigg Boss Season 19 will mark Salman Khan's return as the most popular host of the show. The shooting for the teaser is scheduled to take place between July 8 and July 12. According to an exclusive report by Pinkvilla, this season is expected to run for 5.5 months, making it the longest season in the history of the show.

Who Is Sara Arjun? Ranveer Singh's 20-Year-Old Dhurandhar Co-Star Was Once India's Highest-Paid Child Actor

Ranveer Singh showcases intense energy in the first look of his upcoming film directed by Aditya Dhar. Alongside the teaser, the release date for Dhurandhar was revealed. Known for exploring a variety of roles, Ranveer's new project promises to be unlike anything he has done before. The first look has also caught attention for featuring the film's only actress shown so far—Sara Arjun. Sara Arjun, daughter of actor Raj Arjun, is a gifted star kid who made a mark early on. As per Gulte, she became the highest-paid child actress in India, reportedly earning up to Rs 10 crore by 2023 — all by the age of 18. Here's everything you need to know about Ranveer Singh's young co-star in Dhurandhar. She Started Acting Before She Turned Two Sara Arjun was born on June 18, 2005, in Mumbai and entered showbiz before she could even form full sentences. She began her career in advertisements as a toddler, appearing in over 100 TV commercials by the time she was five. From big brands like McDonald's and Maggi to detergent and chocolate ads, Sara was a familiar face in Indian households long before she became a movie star. Her First Movie Turned Heads Across the Country Sara became a household name with her debut film Deiva Thirumagal (2011), a Tamil drama where she starred alongside actor Vikram. At just six years old, her portrayal of Nila — the daughter of a man with special needs — moved audiences and critics alike. She Works in Multiple Languages After winning hearts in Tamil cinema, Sara quickly branched out into Hindi, Malayalam, and Telugu films. She was seen in Ek Thi Daayan, 404, Jazbaa, and The Song of Scorpions in Hindi, and also played pivotal roles in Tamil hits like Saivam, Sillu Karupatti, and Mani Ratnam's epic duology Ponniyin Selvan: I & II, where she played a younger version of Aishwarya Rai's character. She's known for picking emotionally challenging roles across different languages.

Today, July 4, the world will see its next chapter as Ramayana lights up Times Square in New York, showcasing the film's first visuals on one of the most iconic digital billboards in the world. Watch the first look teaser of Ramayana here: View this post on Instagram A post shared by The World Of Ramayana (@worldoframayana) Namit Malhotra, an 8-time Oscar winner and the visionary behind global hits like Dune, Oppenheimer, and Interstellar, backs Ramayana. This project is more than just a film; it's a global event rooted in Indian storytelling, bolstered by world-class collaborators. The film is directed by Nitesh Tiwari. The film features Oscar-winner Hans Zimmer (making his Bollywood debut), in collaboration with AR Rahman, stunt director Guy Norris (Mad Max: Fury Road), and an international team of creatives. Ramayana unites a dream team to reimagine India's greatest epic for a global audience. Starring Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram, Sai Pallavi as Sita, Yash as Ravana, Sunny Deol as Hanuman, and Ravi Dubey as Lakshman, Ramayana is the biggest Indian cinematic event to date. Nitesh Tiwari, director of the film, said, 'Ramayana is a story we've all grown up with. It carries the soul of our culture. Our aim was to honour that soul — and present it with the cinematic scale it truly deserves. As a filmmaker, it's both a huge responsibility and a heartfelt honour to bring it to life. . It's a tale that has endured across millennia because it speaks to something deep and eternal within us. We are not simply making a film. We are offering a vision — one rooted in reverence, shaped by excellence, and made to transcend borders." Directed by Nitesh Tiwari and produced by Namit Malhotra's Prime Focus Studios and the 8-time Oscar-winning VFX studio DNEG, in association with Yash's Monster Mind Creations, Ramayana is being filmed for IMAX. Part 1 will release worldwide in Diwali 2026, followed by Part 2 in Diwali 2027.
