Palak Tiwari On Comparisons With Ananya Panday, Suhana, Ibrahim Ali Khan: 'People Will Talk…'
In a competitive industry where every newcomer is under the spotlight, Bhootnii star and TV actor Shweta Tiwari's daughter, Palak Tiwari, is determined to keep her focus on her own path. The young actor recently opened up about dealing with pressure, especially when comparisons are drawn between her and fellow star kids like Suhana Khan, Ananya Panday, and Ibrahim Ali Khan.
During a candid conversation with Mashable India, Palak reflected on how she manages the stress that comes with expectations. 'I try not to take any pressure because pressure acts as a hindrance when you are trying to do your best work. Also, I find acting, most therapeutic. It has been my childhood dream to be an actor. I am most happy when I am in front of the camera. I am content that I am able to fulfil my dreams, so why should I think about anyone else? People will talk, and it will come to me later, but that can all be handled. For now, I am happy that I am acting."
Acknowledging the shared journey of young actors in the industry, Palak also spoke about how they connect off-camera. 'Everyone is on their journey. Everyone is going through a challenging time because it is hard to make a name for yourself at such a young age. We are all finding ourselves as performers, even Bollywood is reshaping its future, but I am sure we will figure it out," she added.
Palak was last seen in Bhootnii, a supernatural film released earlier this month. The movie featured a star-studded ensemble including Sanjay Dutt, Mouni Roy, Sunny Singh, Aasif Khan, and Beyounick. Directed by Sidhaant Sachdev and produced by Deepak Mukut along with Sanjay Dutt, the film added another milestone to Palak's early career.

What to know about the wedding of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez
Written by Jesse McKinley and Emma Bubola It may be the best semi-secret wedding money can buy. Next week, Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon and one of the world's richest men, is set to marry Lauren Sánchez, a former TV reporter. Their ceremony promises to be among the most closely watched, and closely held, in recent memory. Beyond its general locale — Venice, Italy, where some locals are already upset about the event — little is known about the couple's impending nuptials, following what has been about six years of public courtship. It's a period that includes Bezos' evolution from being known as the owner of The Washington Post, one of the nation's most prominent newspapers, to being known as a friend of a president notorious for his attacks on the press. At the same time, Sánchez has transitioned from being a news anchor in Los Angeles and a notable figure in the social scene to becoming a celebrity in her own right — taking a short spaceflight with Katy Perry aboard a rocket bankrolled by her fiance and having a bachelorette party attended by the Kardashians. Bezos, 61, proposed to Sánchez, 55, on his yacht, Koru, docked near the Cannes Film Festival in May 2023, according to an interview in Vogue, hiding the pink diamond ring under her pillow. 'When Jeff opened the box,' Sánchez recalled. 'I think I blacked out a bit.' Yet, for all of that publicity, the actual wedding plans have remained exceedingly secret, with security concerns and possible protests, though rumors abound about the guest list, the locale, and — naturally — the prenuptial agreement. Here's what we know. Needless to say, it's a destination wedding, and it seems likely to occur between June 26 and 28. According to unconfirmed reports in Italian newspapers, the locations for festivities may include a pagoda on Venice's Lido beach, where the Venice Film Festival is held; the island of San Giorgio, which faces the Doge palace; and the Scuola Grande della Misericordia, a lovingly restored Renaissance building, which exudes status-symbol wedding vibes: soaring ceilings, an indoor colonnade, plenty of plinths. But Bezos and his camp have been mum about venues — and pretty much everything else. Wherever Sánchez and Bezos say their 'I do's,' it won't be at City Hall, unlike George Clooney and Amal Alamuddin, who got married there in 2014, according to city officials. Italy has a variety of rules surrounding marriage rites, which can involve religious ceremonies, often performed in Roman Catholic churches. The Sánchez-Bezos wedding, however, will be nondenominational, likely of a ceremonial nature. Secrecy surrounding the event extends to the guest list, though approximately 200 guests are expected. Many of those will be close friends and family — the couple have seven children, combined, from previous marriages and relationships — with a dappling of celebrities, tech moguls and political figures. President Donald Trump is not attending, though his daughter Ivanka is likely to be there, with her husband, Jared Kushner. The list is believed to be packed with A-listers, including Oprah Winfrey, Mick Jagger, Jay-Z & Beyoncé, Eva Longoria, Gayle King and Jewel. Barry Diller and his wife, Diane von Furstenberg, who have a home in Venice, may also attend. If the bachelorette party — held in Paris in May — was any indication, Perry and Kim Kardashian likely will be on the guest list, as could Kris Jenner. Well, certainly more than your average Amazon purchase, but perhaps not on the level of last year's Anant Ambani-Radhika Merchant wedding in Mumbai. Still, numerous tabloid reports have estimated the cost to reach multiple millions. Perhaps aware of local concerns regarding the potential ostentation of the wedding, Lanza & Baucina, which is organizing the wedding, expressed their intention to minimize 'any disruption to the city' and its residents, while also employing locals to craft the events. They added that Bezos and Sánchez have supported 'the city and its all-important lagoon through nonprofit organizations and associated projects.' Venice and its canals attract large crowds, especially in the summer, prompting city officials to impose a small fee for visitors during peak periods and limit tour group sizes. But the protests over the Bezos wedding also seem to be dovetailing with a larger movement in some popular European locations against 'overtourism,' with protests in places like Barcelona, Spain; Mallorca; and Lisbon, Portugal. In Venice, the 'No Space for Bezos' movement is promising more protests, with talk of blocking canals and other anti-nuptial mischief. There is likely to be a crush of paparazzi and other amateur stargazers. One point of reference is the 2014 Clooney-Alamuddin event, where celebrity news and morning shows decamped to Venice and photographers pursued the couple. (That couple seemed remarkably at ease, answering shouted questions from reporters and acknowledging screaming fans.) How Sánchez and Bezos greet and are greeted by the public remains to be seen, though they could have a handy escape if they want to avoid any unwanted attention: according to boat tracking site Marine Traffic, Koru is already bobbing in the Adriatic Sea, along with Bezos' 'support ship,' the Abeona, a 250-foot-long dinghy complete with a helicopter pad. (Sánchez is a pilot.) But unlike other big boats, and big names, Koru appears not to be headed to the wedding.

Throwback! When Sanjay Dutt allegedly said 'sorry' to Madhuri Dixit over romance buzz
The alleged relationship between Madhuri Dixit and Sanjay Dutt was one of the most talked-about topics in the 1990s, often dominating gossip columns and industry chatter. While neither star ever publicly confirmed the rumors, their undeniable on-screen chemistry sparked intense speculation. As is often said, there might be a grain of truth behind some whispers. Sanjay Dutt, known for his flamboyant persona and tumultuous past—as later depicted in his biopic Sanju —was frequently portrayed as Bollywood's quintessential Casanova. During this time, he and Madhuri shared screen space in a string of successful films such as 'Khatron Ke Khiladi, Thanedaar, Saajan, Khalnayak, Ilaaka, and Sahibaan'. Their magnetic pairing on screen naturally gave rise to stories of a growing off-screen connection. The rumors reached their peak during the filming of Saajan (1991). Their increasing closeness became a favorite subject for tabloids and insiders alike, turning their alleged relationship into one of Bollywood's most mysterious and intriguing love stories—one that was never officially acknowledged. In an old interview with Movie magazine, Sanjay Dutt spoke about the media storm that surrounded them. "This story surfaced around the time of Saajan ," he recalled. "She was shooting Khel in Kenya when the reports came out. I felt terrible, so I went up to her and apologized during our next Saajan schedule. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Scam Exposed: What They Won't Tell You about zero trust!

At one point, it was even speculated that Madhuri and Sanjay were serious enough to consider marriage. However, following Sanjay Dutt's arrest in 1993 under the TADA Act, everything changed. Their relationship reportedly came to an abrupt end. The arrest not only altered the course of his career but also deeply impacted his personal life and relationships. Though their love story was never officially confirmed, it remains etched in Bollywood folklore—an untold romance suspended between reel and real life.
