After years of maintaining a low profile and staying strictly away from the digital noise, Saif Ali Khan has finally taken the plunge into the world of Instagram. The Nawab of Pataudi, who has long been a rare sight on social media, officially joined the platform this week, much to the delight of his legion of fans. While the actor has frequently appeared in the candid snapshots shared by his wife, Kareena Kapoor Khan, he now has a digital home of his own, and followers are already keeping a close watch on his activity.

In a move that is as charming as it is expected, Saif chose his wife, Kareena, as the very first person he followed on the platform. The gesture was quickly reciprocated, with Kareena following him back, while his sister, Soha Ali Khan, also jumped on the bandwagon to join his growing list of followers. The account, which has already sparked significant buzz, kicked off with a nod to his royal heritage, as the actor shared an intriguing first post featuring the iconic Pataudi Library.

Fans wasted no time flooding the comments section with warm welcomes, with some calling him the “king” and others playfully labeling him the “oldest member of Gen Z” to finally join the app. Beyond his social media debut, Saif continues to make waves on the professional front. He was recently seen in Priyadarshan’s Haiwaan, a project that marked his highly-anticipated reunion with Akshay Kumar. The duo, who last shared the screen in the 2008 film Tashan, brought their classic chemistry back to the big screen in the film produced by KVN Productions and Thespian Films.

Bollywood veteran Sanjay Dutt recently turned cheerleader for 21-year-old producer Anupriya Nagar, showering her with praise for her impressive work on the film Hanuman Ansh. Taking to Instagram, the actor shared a picture with the young filmmaker, expressing his admiration for her dedication and the milestones she has achieved at such a tender age. Having spent decades in the industry, Dutt noted that while he has witnessed countless films come and go, Anupriya’s contribution truly stood out to him.

In a heartfelt note shared on social media, the Munna Bhai actor commended Anupriya for her ability to turn a small-scale project into a significant cinematic success. He highlighted how her passion and the way she united people to support the film were truly outstanding. Encouraging the young producer, Dutt wrote, “God bless you, bachcha. I’m so proud of you and will always stand by you in all your projects. Your story has only just begun.”

Hanuman Ansh, which is written and directed by Vishal Chaturvedi, dives into the life and teachings of Neeb Karori Baba, also known as Maharaj Ji. Revered by followers as an incarnation of Lord Hanuman, the spiritual leader was widely known for his messages of love, devotion, and service. The film hit theatres on August 7, 2026, and has since emerged as a sleeper hit, garnering widespread appreciation from audiences across the country.

Sanjay Dutt’s public endorsement comes nearly two months after the film’s initial release, reigniting interest in the project and bringing well-deserved attention to the young producer’s vision. By backing such a meaningful project, the superstar has once again shown his support for fresh talent and impactful storytelling in the Indian film industry.

Heartthrob Darshan Raval is back to tug at our heartstrings, officially kicking off his highly anticipated four-track EP, The Everafter. His latest single, Naal Naal Ve, is a dreamy, soulful track that dives deep into the complexities of love, longing, and the struggle to find one’s way back to a special someone. Co-sung by Suvarna Tiwari and released under the banner of Warner Music India, the song serves as the emotional opening chapter for what promises to be a captivating musical journey.

The music video features the charming chemistry between Darshan and actress Barkha Singh, unfolding a narrative that blurs the lines between reality and fantasy. The story follows Dan, a struggling musician who discovers a mysterious blue door in his apartment. Stepping through it with his dog Brutus, he enters a magical realm and meets Niyati. As their romance blossoms, Dan eventually faces a heartbreaking dilemma: stay in this perfect, otherworldly paradise or return to the reality he left behind. The track leaves its larger, overarching story open for listeners to interpret in their own way.

Sharing his excitement, Darshan described the track as a hopeful exploration of love that transcends different realities. He spoke fondly of the filming process, noting that working with Barkha and their adorable four-legged co-star, Brutus/Coco, made the experience truly special. Barkha echoed his sentiments, expressing her joy at being part of the project and thanking the singer’s dedicated fanbase, the ‘Blue Family,’ for their overwhelming support. For those ready to get lost in the magic, Naal Naal Ve is now streaming across all major audio and video platforms.

Even the legendary Amitabh Bachchan is not immune to the harsh realities of the internet. In a candid moment on the latest episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati, the superstar opened up to contestant Vinamra about the impact of online trolling. When asked how he handles negativity, the veteran actor admitted that the vitriol he encountered online forced him to rethink his presence on social media platforms.

Bachchan shared that he initially viewed social media as a wonderful tool to connect with his fans and express his inner thoughts. However, the experience turned sour when he began reading the comment sections. Recalling the hurtful language directed at him, Big B revealed that users would often target his age, calling him names like “budhau” and questioning his behavior. These derogatory remarks left him feeling uncomfortable, leading him to significantly cut back on his posts. “Pehle humne socha ki yeh bahut accha yantra hai… Uske baad jab humne padhna shuru kiya ki iska comment kya hai, humne aise likhna band kar diya. ‘Apne aap ko kya samajhta hai re tu budhau… Aise kyun bol raha hai?’ Toh aise-aise shabdawali hoti hai, bada ajeeb lagta hai,” he shared.

Despite the negativity, the actor managed to keep his spirits high and ended the conversation on a humorous note. He pointed out the irony that his follower count has actually continued to climb even as he has become more selective with his posts. “Aur bhaisahab ek baat batayein aapko? Jab se kam likhna kar diya hai, humara follower badhta chala ja raha hai,” he quipped, drawing laughter from the audience. Bachchan, who has been documenting his life through his personal blog since 2008, continues to be a regular face on television as KBC airs from Monday to Friday at 9 pm on Sony Entertainment Television.
