Further heaping praises on SRK, Johar continued, '@iamsrk bhai… this has been 33 years in the making and I can't help but beam with pride. Redefining Indian cinema with every role you take on… Jawan and all your other films are only testament to what an exceptional actor you are—to light every screen you walk in with your swag, charm, and just… SRK-ness! Me and the entire world are rooting for you, celebrating you, and supporting you for everything you do. There is no one like you. Congratulations, bhai… you deserve this and more. And like you say… picture abhi baaki hai mere dost."
'My dearest Rani… truly the queen of every screen she is in. Your performance hit everyone like a punch in the gut, making everyone feel every last feeling with you. Very few can do that, but you… you have always been the best at it. Congratulations, and I speak on behalf of everyone — we can't wait to see what you do next!!!! Biggest shoutout to @emmayentertainment for backing such a powerful story, and congratulations! @madhubhojwani @onlyemmay @nikkhiladvani," he added while congratulating Rani and the team of Mrs Chatterjee.
The ace director ended the note by writing, 'P.S. — fun fact!! I won my first National Award with these two & Kajol by my side for Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. If this is not full circle, what is?"
Meanwhile, Karan Johar's Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani bagged two major honours — one for Best Popular Film Providing Wholesome Entertainment, and the second for the famous song Dhindhora Baje Re, with Vaibhavi Merchant winning Best Choreography.

Kajol Channels Tanuja On 50th Birthday, Greets Paps In Classic Black And White Saree
Kajol turned 50 on August 5 and looked like a spitting image of her mother Tanuja as she greeted paps in a white and black saree with a retro hairdo. Kajol turned 50 on Tuesday, August 5, and marked the milestone with grace, style and nostalgia. The actress stepped out of her Mumbai residence to greet the paparazzi waiting outside, and her look immediately caught attention. Draped in a classic white saree with a shimmering black border and a black blouse, Kajol bore a striking resemblance to her legendary mother, veteran actress Tanuja. Her look was completed with a retro middle-parted ponytail and minimal makeup, allowing her natural features to shine. She wore statement earrings and a ring, while keeping her accessories subtle. Kajol's warm smile and confident wave to the cameras made fans nostalgic for the golden era of cinema with many calling her a spitting image of Tanuja from her younger days. The visual homage to her mother didn't go unnoticed, and social media was quick to draw comparisons, with fans posting side-by-side images of Tanuja in her youth and Kajol's birthday look. Earlier in the day, Kajol's husband, actor Ajay Devgn, took to Instagram to post a birthday message filled with love and humour. Sharing two monochrome photos of Kajol — one from her youth and another recent click — Ajay wrote, 'Could say a lot but you would still roll your eyes. So… happy birthday, favourite Kajol." In February, Kajol had also shared a birthday post for Ajay, joking, 'All the cool people were born in August, but we don't mind wishing you a happy birthday 😉 …. thank u for always being older than me." Kajol and Ajay Devgn tied the knot in 1999 and are parents to two children – Nysa and Yug. On the work front, Kajol was last seen in the supernatural thriller Maa, while Ajay's latest release Son of Sardaar 2 hit theatres recently. Kajol's upcoming project Maharagni: Queen of Queens is also generating buzz. First Published: August 05, 2025, 22:33 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

RJ Mahvash is celebrating a major milestone in her career. She has been honoured as the Emerging Film Producer and Entrepreneur of 2025, and the moment was an emotional one for her. Taking to Instagram, Mahvash shared a heartfelt post expressing her gratitude and reflecting on her journey. 'Emerging film producer and entrepreneur 2025🤍 Niyat saaf, Manzil asaan 🌼 Happy emotional crying overwhelmed – I am so proud of everything I have worked hard for and everything that didn't work out so that better things can! Just remember one thing, God serves. Earlier or later, God serves your intentions. Hence- Niyat saaf, manzil asaan," she wrote. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Mahvash (@ Among the many congratulatory messages, one that stood out was from Indian cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal. Chahal not only liked the post but also commented, 'Congratulations," showing his support for Mahvash's achievement. This public gesture comes shortly after Chahal addressed ongoing rumours linking him to RJ Mahvash following his divorce from Dhanashree Verma. In an interview on Raj Shamani's podcast, the cricketer broke his silence on the speculation surrounding his personal life. When asked if he was in a relationship with Mahvash or anyone else, Chahal responded, 'No, there's nothing. People can think whatever they want to think." On the topic of love, he added, 'It will take time to process. I need to gather myself. I'm not afraid to fall in love again, but I'm scared of losing the person because I get attached with all my heart." Chahal also shared how online gossip negatively impacted Mahvash, who had supported him through one of the most difficult phases of his life. 'For the first time, when I was seen with someone, people started linking us right away. Even she clarified it, but it was very hard for her. She was called a homewrecker… people said really nasty things. I felt terrible," he revealed. Recalling a simple Christmas dinner, he said, 'We had a Christmas dinner with five people, but the photo was cropped to make it look like just the two of us were on a dinner date." Chahal added that the rumours made it difficult to even hang out with friends without fear of being judged.
