Unlike typical spiritual chat shows, The Vedas Speak aims to take its audience on a more introspective journey. Rukhsar stressed that the show would go beyond surface-level spiritual discussions, offering a platform for deeper reflections and personal connections.

Karan's cheeky question to Abhishek In the past, not long after their wedding, Abhishek and Aishwarya appeared on Karan Johar's chat show ' .' It was during season three, and they were in the opening episode. That's when Karan decided to bring up the three most important women in the 'Guru' actor's life. Karan asked the 'Bunty Aur Babli' actor, "Do you feel, Abhishek, at any point, you've been torn between the three women in your life? Because, you know, you have the apple of Jaya Aunty's eyes and Shweta's life, and now you have another woman in your life. Have you ever felt that you need to juggle the act at all?'

Nikita Roy Review: Sonakshi Sinha's battle against superstition in this psycho-thriller falls flat, fades fast
Name: Nikita Roy Director: Kush Sinha Cast: Sonakshi Sinha, Paresh Rawal, Suhail Nayyar Writers: Belal Khalique, Pavan Kirpalani, Neel Mohanty Rating: 2/5 Plot Set against the backdrop of London, Nikita Roy (Sonakshi Sinha) is on a mission to solve the murder of her brother, Sanal Roy (Arjun Rampal). The siblings are part of a community committed to debunking superstitious beliefs and dismantling the lucrative businesses that thrive on them. Their investigation directs them straight to the powerful godman Amar Dev (Paresh Rawal). Unfortunately, they're completely on their own in this battle. The story hinges on whether Nikita can peel off the godman's carefully constructed mask. What Works What works for Nikita Roy is that it doesn't fall into the preachy or melodramatic tone. A few eerie scenes, enhanced by a chilling background score, manage to deliver goosebumps. The editing is crisp, and the real drama kicks in post-interval, so hang tight through the first half's slow build-up. What Doesn't The film begins like a whodunnit, then tries to convince you it's a horror, only to pivot into thriller territory - yes, it's as confusing as it sounds. There are definite echoes of Saurabh Shukla 's storyline from PK. Setting the supernatural drama in London doesn't quite land either. The Indian audience is more likely to associate superstition with rustic villages tucked away in coastal or desert regions. With masterpieces like Bramayugam and Tumbbad raising the bar for thrillers, Nikita Roy feels out of place. If the comparisons seem off, it's because the storyline is, too. Performances Given the right push, Sonakshi Sinha can really bring her A-game, she's proven that in Lootera and Dahaad. Here, as Nikita Roy, she's okay-ish. I kept waiting for that raw, unfiltered breakdown, some moment of explosive grief or rage, but it was all too muted for the situation. Suhail Nayyar as Jolly, a social media star and hopelessly in love with Nikita is... perplexing. It's unclear whether his irritating British accent was intentional, but it annoys after a point. I lost count of how many times he said "alright" in that exaggerated tone. Paresh Rawal is a legendary actor, an undeniable asset to Indian cinema, but Nikita Roy won't be the film remembered for showcasing his talent. A crossover conversation between Amar Dev and Kaanji Bhai from Oh My God in some alternate universe would be far more entertaining and would definitely burn through more popcorn. Arjun Rampal's special appearance as Sanal Roy is visually pleasing (if nothing else), and a shoutout to Kalliroi Tziafeta (Freya), who proves her mettle with just a few minutes of screen time. Final Verdict With a tighter, more cohesive script, Nikita Roy could've done justice to Kush Sinha's direction. Watch it only if you're a die-hard Sonakshi Sinha fan. Otherwise, a one-time watch would do you no harm.

Sonakshi Sinha's 'Nikita Roy' movie review: An interesting supernatural idea trapped in forgettable execution
Cast: Sonakshi Sinha, Arjun Rampal, Paresh Rawal, Suhail Nayyar Director: Kussh Sinha Language: Hindi Sonakshi Sinha's Nikita Roy can be best described as a hybrid of Creature 3D and The Buckingham Murders. Add PK to it and all these films can have beer at a pub. Creature 3D may run out of cash, The Buckingham Murders will rush to the loo to avoid paying the bill. PK will promise to pay the next time. And Nikita Roy will have to tolerate all the burden. It does definitely face the burden of being an amalgamation of all the names mentioned above. You know that because of some of the most awkward and abrupt shots in a Hindi film in recent times. This film could have existed anywhere in the world but but the makers opt for London for an 'atmospheric' mood. Anurag Kashyap calls it noir. No where! STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Sinha plays an author called Nikita Roy who has written a book about suspicions in modern India. She has lost her brother Arjun Rampal in an accident that creeps the hell out of everyone. The film has an interesting idea trapped in inane execution. It's unable to decide whether it wants to be whodunit, a horror, an emotional thriller, a drama about fake godmen, or everything or absolutely nothing. The leading lady has said this in a couple of her interviews how she used to play subservient characters in the beginning of her career. It's commendable how she is choosing projects where the burden and the spotlight is on her shoulders. But the stories that she is being a part of is not being able to do justice to her intent. There's Paresh Rawal too. What happened with Sinha is something this veteran battled too. Post the charm and curse of the cult of Hera Pheri, fans want him to do more and more comedy. One barely mentions the likes of Mumbai Meri Jaan or Road To Sangam or Sardar when it comes to his marvelling oeuvre, but Nikita Roy is nowhere close to anything that he will be remembered for. If his character here had a conversation with Kanji Bhai from Oh My God, all hell would break loose. Nikita Roy reeks of pretence from beginning to end. Any potential in the story is further marred by fake accents and faulty dubbing. Two brutal murders have happened, but all the investigations are being done by Sinha and her BFF Jolly (an over the top Suhail Nayyar). We barely get to see any effort from the police. Debutant director Kussh Sinha gives his sister a delicious opportunity to shine in every frame. The uneven script lets him down. But he definitely knows a thing or two about creating palpable tension. Better luck next time. Rating: 2 (out of 5 stars) Nikita Roy is now playing in cinemas
