Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda's 'Saiyaara' becomes first YRF film to stream on Netflix amid its historic box-office success
Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda's Saiyaara is creating some insane and unbelievable records at the box office, which is phenomenal considering the musical drama features newcomers.
The Mohit Suri directorial will mostly cross the Rs 300 mark today, which means in just 17 days, which is nothing less than historic. And it has also become the first YRF film that will stream on Netflix.
Not only fans and audiences, Saiyaara garnered praise from celebs like Alia Bhatt, Ranveer Singh, Aamir Khan, Mahesh Babu, Arjun Kapoor, Ameesha Patel, Siddharth Anand, Sandeep Reddy Vanga, Karan Johar, Anurag Basu and Anil Kapoor, among others, for its storyline, direction and performances.
STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD
Before the release of the movie, director Mohit Suri spoke about Saiyaara's comparison with Aashiqui 2 in an interview with Firstpost. He said, 'When I made Zeher, they said it looked like Murder. When I made Ek Villain, they said it looked like Murder 2. When I made Malang, they said it looked like Ek Villain. When I made Aashiqui 2, they said it looked like Woh Lame and Rockstar. So I think when I go ahead and make my next film, they'll say it looks like Saiyaara. I think when they're comparing it to my own work rather than somebody else's, it's good.'
Despite the arrival of new releases in the form of Ajay Devgn-Mrunal Thakur starrer Son of Sardaar 2 and Siddhant Chaturvedi-Triptii Dimri's Dhadak 2, \_Saiyaara\_ has the potential to remain steady in its third week at the box office.

My Life With the Walterboys Season 2: Who Will Jackie Choose Between Cole and Alex?
My Life With the Walterboys is set to return to the screens with season 2. The trailer for the upcoming bunch of episodes has been dropped by Netflix, and Jackie yet again finds herself confused between the brothers, Cole and Alex. After the cliffhanger first season, the fans highly anticipated the return of Nikki Rodriguez's Jackie to Colorado and into the Walter family. Alongside Rodriguez, Ashby Gentry and Noah LaLonde will also reprise their roles as lead characters. What can fans expect from My Life With the Walterboys season 2? After complicating bonds with the Walter brothers, Jackie heads back to New York for the summer, trying to move on from her past. The trailer opens with Jackie claiming his relationships to be 'complicated' when asked. Moreover, the fans could witness Jackie trying to make amends with Alex while keeping her distance from Cole. As for the plot, the official logline of the new season reads that for Jackie, 'fitting back in isn't that easy. Alex—who changed a lot over the summer—isn't too thrilled about Jackie's attempts to reconnect, as he's focused on training for a risky rodeo event (and enjoying all of the new attention he's getting). It further states, 'Meanwhile, Cole takes on a new role at school, but when that doesn't quite fill the void left by not playing football, his old ways creep back in and cause drama. As Jackie gains acceptance in Silver Falls while trying to hold onto her Howard identity, she's forced to make a choice that could destroy everything she's worked to rebuild.' The additional cast members joining the three leads include Sarah Rafferty, Marc Blucas, Connor Stanhope, Johnny Link, Corey Fogelmanis, Jaylan Evans, Zoë Soul, Isaac Arellanes, Myles Perez, Alex Quijano, Ashley Tavares, Dean Petriw, and Alix West Lefler, among others.

Who Is Vikram Chatwal, Priya Sachdev's First Husband Before She Married The Late Sunjay Kapur?
In 2006, Vikram married actress and investment banker Priya Sachdev in a high-profile wedding. The couple welcomed a daughter, Safira, the same year. As Sunjay Kapur's sudden demise ignites a Rs 30,000 crore inheritance battle, one name that keeps resurfacing is Vikram Chatwal, the ex-husband of Sunjay's third wife, Priya Sachdev. While the family tussle over Kapur's vast business empire has captivated headlines, Chatwal's past relationship with Priya and his own controversial life make him an intriguing figure. Here's everything to know about the flamboyant businessman once called the 'playboy hotelier." Early Life and Education Born on November 1, 1971, in Ethiopia, Vikram Chatwal is the son of Indian-American hotel magnate Sant Singh Chatwal. He grew up in New York and graduated from the prestigious Wharton School of Business in 1993. He began his career as an investment banker at Morgan Stanley but soon ventured into more glamorous industries including modelling, acting, and eventually hospitality. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Vikram Chatwal (@vikramdoc) Modelling, Acting and Hollywood Cameos Vikram briefly worked as a model and became the first Sikh man to be featured in Vogue magazine. His dapper looks also landed him minor roles in films like Zoolander and Honeymoon Travels Pvt Ltd. Though he didn't pursue acting full-time, he remained a staple in social circles across New York, London and Mumbai. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Vikram Chatwal (@vikramdoc) Marriage to Priya Sachdev and Divorce In 2006, Vikram married actress and investment banker Priya Sachdev in a high-profile wedding. The couple welcomed a daughter, Safira, the same year. However, Vikram's substance abuse issues and wild lifestyle led to two stints in rehab. By 2011, Priya divorced him. She later married Sunjay Kapur in 2017. Sunjay adopted Safira, and she now goes by the surname Kapur. Scandals and Legal Troubles Vikram Chatwal's lifestyle caught up with him. In 2013, he was arrested at Fort Lauderdale airport for drug possession. A year later, his father Sant Chatwal pleaded guilty to illegal campaign contributions. In 2016, Vikram faced public outrage after being charged with setting two dogs on fire. He later pleaded guilty and was sentenced to community service. Hotel Empire and Comeback Despite his turbulent past, Vikram has managed a remarkable comeback in hospitality. He founded Vikram Chatwal Hotels and owns several luxury properties, including the iconic Dream New York hotel, which underwent a Rs 166 crore ($20 million) renovation in 2015. His brand has since expanded to Miami, Bangkok and India, known for stylish décor and celebrity clientele. Ties To The Kapur Succession Battle In the current Kapur family dispute, Vikram's name has resurfaced due to the legal status of his daughter Safira. If Sunjay Kapur legally adopted her, she loses any right to inherit from Vikram's estate. Meanwhile, Priya Sachdev and Safira have both dropped 'Chatwal" from their names.
