Shilpa Shetty looks back at 'Apne' as film clocks 18 years

Khaleej Times2 days ago
As the 2007 family drama Apne clocked 18 years since its release, Bollywood actor Shilpa Shetty looked back at the emotional journey of the film.
The Dhadkan actor marked the film's anniversary by sharing a special video on her Instagram Stories.
The video showed scenes from the film, including clips of Shilpa with veteran actor Dharmendra and co-stars Sunny Deol and Bobby Deol.
It was set to the film's emotional track Apne To Apne Hote Hain, adding to the nostalgia.
Directed by Anil Sharma, Apne was the first time the veteran actor Dharmendra appeared on screen with both his sons.
Shilpa Shetty played a key role in the sports drama, which focused on a former boxing champion, Baldev Chaudhary (played by Dharmendra), who wanted to restore his lost honour through the success of his sons, Angad (Sunny Deol) and Karan (Bobby Deol).
The film also starred Katrina Kaif and Kirron Kher. The film showcased Dharmendra's warmth as a father and his undiminished star power, proving that even after decades in the industry, he could still captivate audiences.
Apne hit theatres in June 2007 and received a lot of praise from the audience.
On the work front, Shilpa was last seen in Rohit Shetty's web series Indian Police Force, in which she played a police officer. The series also starred Sidharth Malhotra and Vivek Oberoi in lead roles and premiered earlier this year on Prime Video.

Full Trailer Released for Shanaya Kapoor's Debut Film

The full trailer for Bollywood debutante Shanaya Kapoor's 'Aankhon ki Gustaakhiyan' was released on Tuesday, July 1. The trailer reveals that the film will be about a visually impaired musician, Jahaan, and a theatre artist, Saba Shergill, who fall in love during their journey. However, Saba cannot fully commit to Jahaan because she is in a relationship with Abhinav. Will Saba have her happily ever after with Jahaan? Fans are excited to know. Santosh Singh has directed the film, and Mansi Bagla has created and written the story. Bagla, Santosh Singh, and Niranjan Iyenger have written the screenplay. The film features visually aesthetic landscapes and heartwarming music, so romance fans are in for a treat. 'Aankhon ki Gustaakhiyan' will release in cinemas on July 11. Shanaya Kapoor Shanaya Kapoor is a Mumbai‑based Indian actress and model from the famed Kapoor family. Daughter of actor Sanjay Kapoor and jewellery designer Maheep Kapoor, she's the niece of Anil and Boney Kapoor and cousin to stars like Sonam, Janhvi, Arjun, and Rhea Kapoor. She stepped behind the camera as an assistant director on Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl (2020). In 2019, she made a glam debut at Le Bal des Débutantes in Paris, catching the attention of fashion and film circles. Shanaya is launching her acting career in two major films: Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan (release: 11 July 2025) opposite Vikrant Massey, adapted from a Ruskin Bond story. Fans have already praised her on-screen chemistry, especially in the song 'Nazara'. Tu Yaa Main, co-starring Adarsh Gourav, is expected in early 2026. She also debuted in the music video world with 'Vibe', featuring Guru Randhawa and French Montana, which sparked mixed reactions—while many appreciated her glam, others debated her dance skills and the role of nepotism. Vikrant Massey Vikrant Massey (born April 3, 1987, in Mumbai) is a critically acclaimed Indian actor known for his work across television, films, and streaming platforms. Vikrant began his acting journey on television, appearing in popular shows like Dharam Veer, Balika Vadhu, Baba Aiso Varr Dhoondo, and Qubool Hai, establishing himself as a reliable small-screen performer. His transition to film started with supporting roles in movies like Lootera (2013), Dil Dhadakne Do (2015), and Half Girlfriend (2017). His breakout came with A Death in the Gunj (2017), where his lead performance earned him a Filmfare Critics Award nomination and critical praise for his emotional depth. Since then, Vikrant has become a sought-after name in Indian cinema, with roles in Chhapaak, Dolly Kitty Aur Woh Chamakte Sitare, Haseen Dillruba, and Love Hostel. He has also made a strong mark on OTT platforms with acclaimed performances in Mirzapur, Broken But Beautiful, and Criminal Justice. In 2023, he starred in 12th Fail, based on a real-life story, which won him the Filmfare Critics Award for Best Actor. The film was lauded for its inspiring narrative and Vikrant's authentic portrayal. In 2024, he appeared in The Sabarmati Report, a drama based on the 2002 Godhra train incident.
