David Beckham, Victoria accused of ‘toxic' behaviour, ‘verbally berating' son Brooklyn; daughter-in-law Nicola Peltz hits breaking point
Nicola Peltz's feud with the Beckhams escalates
A source told TMZ that the former English footballer doesn't hold back when talking to his oldest son, Brooklyn, 26. He allegedly 'verbally berates' him during phone calls. But, that's not all, the source added, every time that happens, Victoria rushes to text Nicola something sweet, just to make sure there's no written proof of David's yelling, like damage control. 'They scream at him for an hour, then act like everything's fine.' But Nicola, who has never been on Victoria's favorite list—from being pushed aside during her first dance at the wedding to being accused of stealing their precious son—turned out to be quite a rebel in the Beckhams' household. She always defends Brooklyn and isn't the type to stay quiet. One source explained, 'She always talks back to them and stands up for Brooklyn,' which allegedly doesn't sit well with the Beckhams.
The tension reportedly gained limelight during David's 50th birthday celebration in London last weekend, which both Brooklyn and Nicola skipped. Following that, almost a dozen sources spoke out about the Beckhams' family drama. The celebration was attended by the rest of the family, including Brooklyn's brother Romeo and his girlfriend Kim Turnbull, whom the Beckhams trust completely. Brooklyn, who has been absent from the family's Instagram portraits for a while now, is not speaking to his siblings either, especially Romeo. The source said Victoria and David have backed Romeo and feel that Nicola is partly to blame for dividing the brothers.
The report further highlights how The Last Airbender star tried her best to support the family and even cleared her schedule for a month to solve the issue, be it showing up to Victoria's fashion shows or promoting her brand, but doesn't get the same support in return. During the L.A. wildfires, Nicola reportedly asked Victoria to promote her dog rescue, Yogi's House, but Victoria blamed her team, saying she 'wasn't posting content right now,' promoting her brand. Brooklyn and Nicola reportedly flew to London ahead of David's party and offered to meet the family privately to sort things out. But their request was denied. That's when they decided to skip the birthday bash completely.
On the other hand, a source close to Victoria shared with Page Six that this situation is her 'worst nightmare.' The insider said, 'The thought of any of her children falling out gives her sleepless nights.' She's been trying hard to fix things, but the cracks are showing again. Meanwhile, the fallout between Nicola and the former Spice Girl member began in 2022 with a wedding dress drama. Instead of wearing a gown designed by her future mother-in-law, Nicola chose a Valentino dress. The Beckhams have four kids: Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz, and Harper Seven.

Dhadak 2 box office collection Day 4: Janhvi Kapoor's debut made three times as much as Tripti Dimri-Siddhant Chaturvedi's sequel in the same time frame
Dhadak 2 box office collection Day 4: Despite receiving good reviews from critics, Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri's new film, Dhadak 2, is failing to maintain momentum at the box office. After an underwhelming opening on Friday, the film saw a minor increase in collections over the weekend. However, it failed to pass the Monday litmus test, dropping by over 66 percent. According to industry tracker Sacnilk, the film minted Rs 3.5 crore on Friday and witnessed a 7% and 10% increase on Saturday and Sunday, respectively — earning Rs 3.75 crore and Rs 4.15 crore. On Monday, the film saw a steep fall of 66%, earning only Rs 1.4 crore. This brings Dhadak 2's total domestic collection to Rs 12.8 crore. On Monday, the film registered a very low 14.26% Hindi occupancy. Major cities like Mumbai, Bengaluru, and the NCR — which also have the maximum number of screens — recorded low occupancy of around 15%. Dhadak 2 was released in theatres alongside Ajay Devgn and Mrunal Thakur's Son of Sardaar 2. Despite receiving mixed reviews from critics, the film has managed to perform decently and has earned Rs 27.25 crore within four days of release — more than double the Rs 12.8 crore earned by Dhadak 2 in the same time frame. Co-produced by Karan Johar, Dhadak 2 is the spiritual sequel to the 2018 film Dhadak, which marked the Bollywood debut of Janhvi Kapoor and Ishaan Khatter. The Siddhant and Triptii-starrer has lagged behind its predecessor. Within four days of its release, Dhadak had managed to mint Rs 39.19 crore — three times the amount Dhadak 2 has earned in the same duration. Mohit Suri's surprise blockbuster Saiyaara, now in its third weekend, is still managing to give stiff competition to new releases. On its third Monday, Saiyaara earned Rs 2.5 crore — higher than Dhadak 2's Monday figure of Rs 1.4 crore. Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap recently took to Instagram to hail the film. He compared it to the cinema created by stalwarts like Raj Kapoor, Guru Dutt, Yash Chopra, and others, calling it 'a punch in the gut.' A part of his post read, 'The film captures the conversation that we avoid on a day to day basis. This is what mainstream cinema was meant to be, and this is what great filmmakers like Raj Kapoor, Bimal Roy, Guru Dutt, K A Abbas, B R Chopra, Yash Chopra and so many used to do. We forgot to make mainstream films of social relevance. They got relegated to independent art house cinema.'

Actor Shanavas, son of Malayalam cinema's all-time greatest superstar Prem Nazir, passes away
Malayalam actor Shanavas, the son of one of Indian cinema's earliest and most popular superstars, Prem Nazir, has passed away at the age of 71. He had been undergoing treatment for kidney and heart-related ailments for many years. Shanavas breathed his last at a private hospital in the state capital of Thiruvananthapuram, late on Monday evening. Born in Thiruvananthapuram as the son of Prem Nazir and his wife Habeeba Beevi, Shanavas obtained a master's degree in English literature from The New College, Chennai, before venturing into cinema. Subsequently, he made his debut in filmmaker Balachandra Menon's Prema Geethangal (1981). Although this was Nazir's final decade in cinema, after having reigned over the industry for 30 years, he was highly active at the time Shanavas made his debut. Despite the emergence of many new talents in Malayalam cinema during this period, Nazir's position remained unshaken in the hearts of film lovers, which indirectly helped Shanavas gain attention. In the subsequent years, Shanavas worked in movies headlined by legends such as his father Prem Nazir, 'Hitmaker' Sasikumar, MG Soman, Sreekumaran Thampi, Ambareesh, Srividya, Sukumaran, Madhu, Silk Smitha, Joshiy and T Damodaran. He also appeared in films such as Koritharicha Naal, Gaanam, Ivan Oru Simham, Rathilayam and Himam. Although he played notable parts in quite a few movies, Shanavas never managed to leave a lasting impact. #PremNazir with wife Habiba Beevi and children Shanavas, Laila Rasiya and Reetha. — Prem Nazir – A life in Images (@PremNazirology) May 13, 2020 By the mid-1980s, his career had begun to dry up and offers declined significantly.
