The directorial debut of actor Anshuman Jha Lord Curzon Ki Haveli bagged him the Best Director award and his leading man Arjun Mathur the Best Actor Award at the prestigious UK-Asian Film Festival 2024.

The black comedy thriller which had been having a wonderful festival run over the past 6 months – got a standing ovation at packed theatre at the historic Regent Street cinema in London last Saturday.

Anshuman said, “This win feels like a full circle for it has come in the UK. The film is about Asians in the West, identity, immigrants – thereby we are thrilled on the win in London. Because we shot the film in the UK & have been travelling with it around the world & now to win at our British Premiere is something I am truly grateful for. Especially for Arjun because I truly feel this film is one of his finest, if not, his best performance. Films need to entertain and ask questions. Can’t wait for it to release later this year.”

Arjun Mathur said, “I had taken the decision to pursue acting while in London in the year 2000. And winning this award here feels cathartic. I want to thank Anshuman for giving me Rohit & for putting the process in the forefront. We had such focussed fun during this film. And he has made exactly the film he narrated to me on his first narration. We had a lot of fun doing this together.”

Lawrence Bishnoi gang has demanded an apology from Salman Khan in connection to his blackbuck poaching case. Recently, the President of the All India Bishnoi Society, Devendra Budiya, issued a statement saying that the Bollywood superstar’s apology would be considered if he seeks forgiveness. “If Salman himself apologizes, the Bishnoi society will consider the apology. The mistake was not made by Somy Ali, but it was committed by Salman,” the Bishnoi gang leader told IANS, as quoted by Pinkvilla.

The gang leader further elaborated on the conditions for the apology, stating, “He should propose to the Bishnoi society that he wants to apologize. He should come to the temple and seek forgiveness. He should further take an oath that he will never make such a mistake in the future and will always work to protect wildlife and conserve the environment. If he does this, a decision of the society to forgive him will be considered.” This statement comes weeks after gunshots were fired outside Salman Khan’s Galaxy Apartments in Mumbai’s Bandra area.

For the unversed, Salman Khan was accused of hunting down Chinkaras at Bawad in Mathania near Jodhpur in September 1998 during the shooting of his movie Hum Saath Saath Hain. A complaint against the actor was filed by the members of the Bishnoi community, who believe that blackbucks are the reincarnation of their spiritual leader, Bhagwan Jambeshwar, also known as Jambaji. Khan was arrested the same year but later granted bail. In July 2016, he was acquitted by the Rajasthan High Court, but the Rajasthan government filed an appeal in the Supreme Court against this decision.

The Bishnoi gang leader’s statement also coincides with the recent shooting incident outside Khan’s residence, allegedly orchestrated by the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. Anmol Bishnoi, the gangster’s brother, claimed responsibility for the attack via a Facebook post.

So far, five accused have been arrested in the case. Among them, Anuj Thapan, allegedly died by suicide in Mumbai Police custody, a claim his family disputes, alleging foul play. Despite heightened concerns about his security, Salman Khan has not yet issued an official statement regarding the firing incident. His father, Salim Khan, commented on the matter, noting the increased police protection provided by the Mumbai Police.

Despite their public denials, a new photo of the duo from Thailand has surfaced, reigniting the buzz. In the picture, Kushal and Shivangi are seen sitting beside each other while enjoying their time together. Shivangi looked stunning in a white top paired with polka-dotted pants, while Kushal sported an olive-hued t-shirt. The photo appears to capture a moment from a boxing match they attended together.

Netizens were quick to react to the photo, with many speculating about the nature of Shivangi and Kushal’s relationship. Some users commented on the frequency of Shivangi’s visits to Thailand, hinting at a possible connection to Kushal’s stay there. Others suggested that while the couple might be in a relationship, they had only denied engagement rumours.

In response to the swirling gossip, Shivangi posted a cryptic note on her Instagram stories, expressing her amusement at the rumours. She wrote, “I actually love rumors around me, as they provide me with new information that was hidden from myself.” Meanwhile, Kushal took to his Instagram to post a photo of himself practicing martial arts, accompanied by a lengthy caption questioning the sources of the false information.

Son of late Bollywood legend Irrfan Khan, Babil Khan recently shared a fervent post on Instagram which kindled several hypotheses regarding a potential break-up that the actor is going through.

Babil, who is well known for his down to earth and grounded nature, posted intimate snapshots alongside the caption which spoke about moving on, expressing his fans the complexities of growth and heartache. “I don’t think moving on is about trying to hide away what you have loved,” while setting the tone for a deeper exploration of the process, he continued, “In reality, you never really move on from the people that you have loved. They become a part of your life and the sails that catch the winds that make you who you are.”

“I chipped my tooth falling down the stairs, I like how you sound when you laugh. When you leave, take my crooked smile with you. Let me rebuild another half. I love to look at you. I’ll miss how you breathe, giggling inappropriately and carrying your scuba gear on the beach. I love to hold your hands. I’ll miss crossing roads running, wasted at dawn and far from home. I’ll miss dropping you back when it rains and you carry a small umbrella on purpose. I’ll miss how much you hate your tattoo. I love to miss you,” he expressed through a self-written poem.

As soon as the post was shared Babil’s mother and late actor Irrfan Khan’s wife Sutapa Sikdar shared her pain and struggles with moving on after losing Irrfan saying, “I remember him carrying my chappal because it’s broken, he walked barefoot too on scorching heat on Delhi footpath.. the memory pillow should have the memories I just can’t touch him anymore..but it rains when I miss him. I have the plants he planted with his own hands. I had no option but to stay alone. I don’t know yet what’s called moving on (sic).”

The emotional post concerned fans who took the comment section to express their love, support and empathy.  One user advised, writing, “Heartbreak is like physical pain. But you’ll heal and understand nothing stays forever, and life goes on… Happy healing. Eat loads, travel, sit in silence, sing, and sleep. But let it sink in.” Others echoed similar sentiments, including affirmations such as, “Love heals. Time heals. Hope you get better.”

While most of the followers showed their support one user criticised The Friday Night Plan actor calling him “corny.” Unhinged by the critic, Babil handled the situation very maturely by asking the critic his idea of love, the actor replied “Okay. Write me something better. That is not corny according to your standards. And write it here, don’t send it on DM. Let the people see.” Fans praised his elegant way of handling of the situation and applauded him for his authenticity.
