Did Genelia D'Souza get 'married' to John Abraham on a movie set? She reveals, 'There was…'
Actors Genelia D'Souza and John Abraham were seen together in the 2011 film Force . Their on-screen chemistry stole hearts, making a lasting impression on the audience. One particular marriage scene between the two was so convincing that it made viewers believe it had actually happened. The love portrayed between them on screen was so intense that many assumed they were dating in real life.
When the movie Force was about to release, some reports suggested that Genelia and John have accidentally got married as priest, mantras, garlands, the mangalsutra, and even the seven pheras were real. They shot the scene and ended by marrying in real. Genelia D'Souza breaks silence on 'accidentally getting married' to John Abraham
Now, after 14 years, Genelia D'Souza has finally addressed this news report of 'accidentally getting married'. She called it one of the strangest rumours of her career and claimed it to be a fake news. The actress, who will be seen in Sitaare Zameen Par , said, 'There was no truth to it. We didn't get married. These stories were spread by PR, and I think you should ask them why they did it.'
Genelia D'Souza got married to Riteish Deshmukh in 2011 and are parents to two sons Riaan and Rahyl. John Abraham, on the other side, married Priya Runchal in 2014. Genelia D'Souza on not getting work
Genelia is hugely popular in the South and she has apparently worked in all languages including Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, and Marathi. She will be seen in Aamir Khan's Sitaare Zameen Par.
In a recent interview with Filmymantra Media , Genelia revealed she auditioned thrice for her part, but didn't mind it because she wanted to do a big film like this. She said, 'When people got to know I'm doing Sitaare Zameen Par, everybody said, 'Oh my god! So lucky! You're doing an Aamir Khan film!' I said of course, that's Aamir sir's bigness that he saw something in me. Of course, he made me audition. But you could also do that, right? You could also offer me a role'.
She further said, 'Maybe you think I'm married so I don't need this character. I just feel filmmaking has changed, and so should our mentality. It's very important that if you want a character of a certain age, you should cast someone of that age. When we cast an actor who's much younger than the character I played, they can't understand the little-little things of it. It's important to cast right. And I hope opportunities go everyone's way.'
Sitaare Zameen Par is all set to release on June 20, 2025.

Journalism stalwart Dasu Krishnamoorty turns 100 today
Dasu Krishnamoorty, a journalism veteran with a career spanning 70 years, will turn 100 on Tuesday. Hailing from a family of journalists, Krishnamoorty was part of the first journalism batch at Osmania University under Prof. De Forest O'Dell in 1954–55, where he graduated at the top of his class. During his internship at The Times of India, he earned praise from legendary editor Frank Moraes. He began his career at The Sentinel, The Deccan Chronicle and The Daily News, before joining The Indian Express as chief sub-editor. There, he played a key role in launching its Vijayawada edition in 1959. After a brief stint with The Times of India in Ahmedabad, he moved to New Delhi in 1969 and worked with Patriot for nearly two decades. In Delhi's journalistic circles, he was celebrated as a 'Deskman Extraordinaire' for his exceptional page layout skills. After retiring from active journalism, Krishnamoorty continued to share his knowledge as an associate professor at the Indian Institute of Mass Communication, New Delhi. He later taught at the University of Hyderabad, Osmania University, Andhra Pradesh Open University and Bhavan's College of Journalism, while continuing to write on media affairs. In 2001, at the age of 75, he moved to the United States and shifted focus to writing. Along with his daughter, Tamraparni Dasu, he founded 'India Writes', an initiative aimed at promoting Telugu short story writers globally by translating their works into English. Krishnamoorty has published three anthologies: Santoshabad Passenger 1947 and Other Stories (2010), The Seaside Bride and Other Stories (2019) and Ten Greatest Telugu Stories Ever Told (2022). He is currently working on his autobiography. Remarkably active for his age, he remains in good health, spends several hours a day at his computer and retains a phenomenal memory. Just a few months ago, he mesmerised the current batch of Osmania University journalism students through a video conference. A 1954–55 alumnus addressing the 2024–25 cohort was a moment steeped in history and inspiration. The students honoured him with a Lifetime Achievement Award.

Out of all big releases in first half of 2025, which Tamil movie did not manage to meet your expectations?
Tamil cinema, this year, started off with a huge lineup, making it seem like a festive occasion for cinephiles. While some emerged successful, others were a big let down, making the audience lose their patience. Out of all the top releases in the first half of 2025, which one did not manage to meet your expectations? Top releases from Tamil cinema in the first half of 2025 The first major release in Tamil cinema in the first half of 2025 was the Ajith Kumar starrer Vidaamuyarchi. The action thriller film directed by Magizh Thirumeni featured the story of a husband and wife heading for divorce. As the couple travels to her parents' home, they are met by a gang of kidnappers who trick and nab the wife. Despite being in a failed marriage, the husband must save her before it's too late. The movie, which was based on the American film Breakdown, had Trisha Krishnan as the co-lead with Arjun Sarja playing the main antagonist. Despite being a long-delayed and hyped venture, the movie did not manage to fare well at the box office. However, in April 2025, Ajith Kumar hit the big screens once again with the Adhik Ravichandran directorial Good Bad Ugly, an action comedy flick which was a massive hit at the big screens. Apart from the Ajith Kumar starrers, the initial months of 2025 saw Chiyaan Vikram hitting the theaters with Veera Dheera Sooran - Part 2. The first installment of the planned franchise featured the actor as an unapologetic husband who would go to any lengths to protect his family. Following the mentioned movies, Tamil cinema saw a major release with Suriya starrer Retro. The romantic actioner by Karthik Subbaraj had Pooja Hegde as the female lead, which left the audience having polarizing opinions. Finally, two of the major films that made their way to the big screens were Kamal Haasan starrer Thug Life and Dhanush's Kuberaa. Which movie left you unsatisfied the most? As Rajinikanth starrer Coolie and Sivakarthikeyan's Madharasi are releasing in the latter half of 2025, we'll have to wait and see if they manage to become successful at the theaters.
