Recently, while promoting his upcoming film Dhadak 2 with Triptii Dimri in an exclusive interview with ETimes, we asked Siddhant what he'd like to steal from Ishaan Khatter. Without skipping a beat, Siddhant replied with a grin, 'I want his body. He's looking very good. He's always been fit, honestly, but there's a glow-up on him right now.' Incidentally Ishaan entered the industry with Dhadak opposite Janhavi Kapoor which was based on
Nagraj Manjule
's Sairat.
It's the kind of praise that doesn't just come from a co-star, but from someone who's genuinely been tracking a friend's evolution over time. Siddhant added, 'I've seen his muscles grow with time. I've known him for a long time, but I think he's in his best shape now. And he's killing it!'
Indeed, Ishaan Khatter has been turning heads lately — from his confident red carpet appearances to his bold editorial shoots, especially after his breakout in The Royals and a string of high-impact magazine covers that showcased his evolving fashion-forward persona.

Siddhant acknowledged this shift with enthusiasm: 'He's like the internet sensation right now… after Royals and the magazine shoots. And he's pushing style and fashion.
That's something to really steal.'
The praise comes not just as a compliment to Ishaan's fitness, but also as recognition of his intentional transformation — both physically and in terms of personal branding. While he's always been recognized for his energetic screen presence and dance prowess, it's his recent focus on physicality, style, and sharper public appearances that's caught the industry's and fans' eyes alike.

It's been a while since we saw Priyanka Chopra Jonas in a Hindi movie. The actress was last seen in 'Sky Is Pink' around six years ago. At the moment, Priyanka is shooting for her next with SS Rajamouli co-starring Mahesh Babu and thus, fans are waiting to see her back in an Indian film. But here's some more good news if this latest buzz is true. Priyanka can be expected to be seen in Sanjay Leela Bhansali 's 'Love And War' which stars Ranbir Kapoor , Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal . According to a source quoted by Hindustan Times, this might be a subtle nod to her possible involvement in Bhansali's upcoming film 'Love And War'. While nothing has been officially confirmed, talks suggest Priyanka could feature in a special dance number in the film — which could mark her much-awaited return to Bollywood. Incidentally, on Friday, Priyanka surprised fans by posting a rare throwback on Instagram — a tribute to her popular dance number Ram Chahe Leela from Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 'Goliyon Ki Raas Leela: Ram-Leela'. She doesn't often dedicate full posts to past work, but this time she did, along with a heartfelt caption sharing her experience of working on the song.

Prince Harry punched Andrew at royal gathering, called him coward; Meghan Markle was branded an 'opportunist': Book
Prince Andrew was punched by Prince Harry at a family gathering in 2013 because of something Andrew said about Harry behind his back, a book claims. A new book on the royals, 'Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York', which disgraced Prince Andrew wished never saw the daylight, has made explosive claims, including that Andrew was left with a bloody nose and it was done by Prince Harry at a family party. The reason was some comments that Andrew made about Harry behind his back. Prince Andrew is Prince Harry's uncle but he lost his title after his name came up in connection with Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking with Virginia Giuffre claiming to be one of Andrew's victims. Andrew never admitted to having sexually abused Giuffre when she was a minor, but settled the case out of court, making a huge payment to Giuffre, though he lost his status, and now the book drags him down again. The punching took place at a gathering in 2013 where Prince Harry called his uncle a coward and left him with a bloodied nose. But this was not the end of their bad blood. Andrew did not approve of Prince Harry marrying Meghan Markle and called Markle an opportunist, predicting that their married would not last more than a month. The disgraced Duke called Harry "bonkers" and said the marriage would be the worst mistake of his life, reports claimed.
