Poonam Dhillon about Neetu and Rishi Kapoor's marriage
In a recent conversation with ANI, Poonam Dhillon shared her experiences from those days, mentioning that by the time she entered the industry, Neetu had already taken a step back.
"They had just got married when I joined the industry. Neetu had more or less given up acting. I attended a wedding and had just entered films, but I didn't witness their romance, as I wasn't part of the industry at that time. I saw them later during Doosra Aadmi, because it was a Yash Chopra film with Rakhee.
I attended one or two shootings at Yash ji's house."

She described the atmosphere as warm and positive, filled with the Kapoor family's generosity.
Poonam fondly reminisced about the warm and welcoming atmosphere at Rishi Kapoor's Chembur residence. She shared that the Kapoor family often served delicious home-cooked Punjabi meals. "His wife was a legendary hostess. But you know that thing continued later when both of them were no more. If you went to his Chembur house, hospitality was always there.
Punjabi khana mostly." she added.
During her visits, Neetu would personally prepare and serve generous portions of food. Poonam recounted a moment when she asked Neetu not to serve her too much dal, but Rishi assured her that he would take some of it — and would then scoop the dal from her plate with his hands.

CM Punk takes jab on John Cena reminiscent to AJ Lee's mockery on Nikki Bella
Image via WWE WWE Universe witnessed the last chapter in the storied rivalry of John Cena and CM Punk. It saw a recreation of their classic feud and throwback moments brought to life. One of them saw John Cena delivering a parody of Punk's infamous pipebomb. The Best in the World bounced back by impersonating Cena's popular 'Doctor of Thuganomics' gimmick. However, that brought back memories that related to the time Punk's real-life wife, AJ Lee, and Cena's ex-girlfriend, Nikki Bella , were feuding on WWE television programming. CM Punk's wife, AJ Lee, mocked John Cena's ex, Nikki Bella, years ago In 2014, AJ Lee was the reigning WWE Divas Champion and was embroiled in a feud with Nikki Bella. The duo was set to collide in a match on RAW. The Black Widow played mind games of her own by coming out dressed as The Fearless One, donning her outfit, and impersonating her mannerisms. Bella was visibly furious at witnessing a mockery made out of her personality. However, she did have the last laugh on AJ Lee when she defeated her in mere seconds at the Survivor Series pay-per-view to win the WWE Divas Championship and went on to set the record for the longest title reign in history. Years later, CM Punk borrowed a page from his now wife, AJ Lee's playbook and used it to mock Nikki Bella's ex-boyfriend, John Cena. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo On the SmackDown before the Night of Champions Premium Live Event, Punk came out dressed as The Doctor of Thuganomics.

However, much like Nikki Bella, Cena defeated AJ Lee's husband and retained the Undisputed WWE Championship at the 2025 Night of Champions PLE that took place on June 28 at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. This was the last time they squared off inside the ring as John Cena is on his farewell tour and will retire from in-ring competition in December 2025. While Punk and AJ Lee did not have victorious ends, they created iconic moments at the expense of the former couple, John Cena and Nikki Bella, which will be etched in WWE history.

Izna's reality show debut - Busan adventures: K-Pop chaos, and why you'll wish you were there
K-pop Rookies Gone Wild in Busan-Izna's Reality Show Is Here! Okay, K-pop stans, get ready to lose your minds-Izna, the rookie girl group everyone's been watching, is finally dropping their first-ever reality show, ' XOXO Trip '. And trust us, this isn't your average idol content. Think less "perfect stage performance," more "squad goals on a chaotic road trip." The show, filmed in the heart of Busan , is all about the girls being their real, unfiltered selves-awkward, goofy, and totally relatable. The official teaser just dropped on Visit Busan's YouTube channel, and fans are already freaking out. For the first time, you'll see the Izna members planning their own travel routes, picking out food spots, and basically running wild around Busan's most iconic sights. It's like your group's Goa trip, but with K-pop idols and a camera crew. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Gold Is Surging in 2025 — Smart Traders Are Already In IC Markets Learn More Undo From Tourist Mode to Total Chaos-Izna's Unfiltered Side What makes 'XOXO Trip' so different? It's all about realness . No scripts, no stylists hovering-just Izna figuring out where to go, what to eat, and how to not get lost in Busan. The show promises everything from hilarious pranks and spontaneous dance-offs to those deep, late-night convos you only have with your closest friends. And let's be honest, who doesn't want to see their favorite idols mess up a little? The teaser already hints at some classic reality show chaos-think food fails, awkward selfies at tourist spots, and the kind of inside jokes only true friends (or bandmates) get. It's the kind of content that makes you feel like you're part of the group chat. Squad Chemistry, Foodie Moments, and All the Feels Izna's chemistry is next-level, and 'XOXO Trip' is set to show it off. Whether they're tackling team missions or just vibing over Busan's famous street food (yes, we're talking about those mouth-watering fish cakes and spicy tteokbokki), you'll see every side of them. The show is basically a love letter to friendship, travel, and the pure chaos that happens when you throw a bunch of 20-somethings together with a camera. And for those who've ever dreamed of a K-pop vacation, this is your chance to live vicariously. From the beaches to the neon-lit streets, Busan looks like the ultimate backdrop for some serious squad bonding-and maybe a few viral TikTok moments. Why This Hits Different for Us If you've ever been on a trip with your college gang, you know the vibes-last-minute plans, random food stops, and way too many inside jokes. That's exactly what Izna is bringing, but with a K-pop twist. It's about breaking out of routines, showing your weird side, and making memories that'll last way longer than any Instagram post. So, mark your calendars: the full episodes drop July 14 at 6 PM on Visit Busan's YouTube channel. Get ready to binge, laugh, and maybe even plan your own Busan adventure (if only your squad could sing and dance like Izna). This show isn't just for K-pop fans-it's for anyone who loves travel, friendship, and a little bit of beautiful chaos. And honestly, isn't that all of us? You know, watching Izna goof around in Busan feels a lot like those late-night hostel chats or spontaneous road trips we all dream about. No matter where you're from, the thrill of exploring a new city with your besties is universal. Here's hoping we all get our own 'XOXO Trip' someday-cameras optional!
