On Friday night, Hrithik Roshan stepped out for a meal at a Japanese restaurant in Bandra. While exiting the place, the star was seen holding the hand of a girl and escorting her to his car. Turns out she is Mujhse Fraaandship Karoge (2011) actor Saba Azad who is also a musician. She is one half of the funky electronic band Madboy/Mink, which she started with actor-musician Imaad Shah. The two were rumoured to be in a live-in relationship. Is Roshan collaborating on a music project with Azad? Or is there more to their friendship? Time will tell.
Remembering Sidharth
Sidharth Shukla and Shehnaaz Gill
Shehnaaz Gill will pay an emotional tribute to late beau Sidharth Shukla on Bigg Boss 15. It’s curtains for the reality show tonight, and the actor-singer’s performance is the highlight, which sources said left host Salman Khan teary-eyed. Gill and Shukla were part of Bigg Boss 13, with the latter bagging the season’s title.
Let’s go dancing with Salman
Salman Khan has lent his voice to yet another track, Dance with me. On Saturday, the superstar unveiled the peppy number in which he asks family, friends and fans to shake a leg with him. It features parents Salma and Salim, brothers Arbaaz and Sohail, sisters Alvira and Arpita besides Sangeeta Bijlani and Iulia Vantur. Khan has put together moments from his personal and professional life in the video. Buddy composer Sajid Khan (of the Sajid-Wajid duo) has scored the music.
Snowy trail
Sara Ali Khan and brother Ibrahim are holidaying in “jannat-e-Kashmir” and enjoying the snowfall. As soon as Sara wrapped up the shoot of Laxman Utekar’s untitled film in Indore, she winged her way to the Valley. In April 2021, the two had taken off with mother Amrita Singh to Kashmir. It is their go-to destination.
Dubbing in progress
Amitabh Bachchan is back in the studios amid the third wave to complete his projects. He gave a glimpse of the dubbing session of one of his upcoming films. “Work, work, work … routine be the need”, he captioned the photograph. Big B is finding dubbing for the film “tough, but when was it ever easy”, he wondered. The veteran superstar can’t do without his favourite red frames.
Swift moves, quick rewards
Contestant Neelakandan Nair impressed Vidyut Jammwal with his swift Kalaripayattu moves on Young Genius Season 2.

Nair, 10, trains at the well-known Ekaveera Kalaripayattu Academy in Kerala. “I was touched to see a junior version of me in Neelakandan. His passion and dedication to take Kalaripayattu to a global level at such a young age is inspirational,” said the actor.
