Allu Arjun beats B-town biggies in Hindi TRP Records with ‘Pushpa 2'

Icon Star Allu Arjun continues to make waves across the country, this time by breaking television viewership records with his blockbuster Pushpa 2. The film, directed by Sukumar, has already shattered box office records with an astounding ₹1800 crore collection following its December theatrical release. Now, the film has set another milestone—this time on Hindi television.
Despite being available on OTT platforms shortly after its release, the Hindi-dubbed version of Pushpa 2 recently premiered on TV and garnered an impressive 5.1 TVR, reaching 5.4 crore viewers. This makes Pushpa 2 the most-watched film on Hindi television in recent times, overtaking TRP numbers of Bollywood blockbusters like Shah Rukh Khan's Pathaan and Ranbir Kapoor's Animal by a significant margin.
What makes this feat even more remarkable is that Pushpa 2 managed to achieve this dominance during the peak phase of IPL 2025, surpassing the cricket league's viewership—an accomplishment very few films have achieved in recent memory.
Allu Arjun, who also received the Telangana State's Gaddar Award for his powerful performance as Pushpa Raj, has firmly established himself as a pan-India superstar. His crossover success in the Hindi-speaking belt, traditionally dominated by Bollywood stars, marks a significant shift in audience dynamics and industry reach.
Looking ahead, Allu Arjun is gearing up for his next project with director Atlee, a collaboration that already has fans buzzing with excitement. If Pushpa 2 is any indication, his upcoming ventures are set to elevate his stardom to even greater heights.

Meet woman, who is relative of India's richest actress Juhi Chawla, was once removed from movies due to..., her name is...

Juhi Chawla is one of the most well-known faces in Bollywood. Not just that, she is also the richest actress in Bollywood, as per the report by the Hurun Rich List 2024. Though the actress came from a background where no one was part of the industry, Juhi made a name for herself. Today, she is a prominent actress in Bollywood. However, do you know that Juhi's sister-in-law is also an actress? As beautiful as Juhi, her sister-in-law Madhoo Shah is a well-known Indian actress who has worked across Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada cinema. She stepped into Bollywood in 1991 with the action-romance blockbuster Phool Aur Kaante, opposite Ajay Devgn. Just a year later, Madhoo shot to fame with the Tamil romantic thriller Roja, where she starred alongside Arvind Swamy. Over the years, Madhoo became a household name in the industry. However, many people don't know that Madhoo shares a close relationship with Hema Malini — she is her cousin — and her father was a producer. In an interview, Madhoo revealed she had to face several challenges despite coming from a background of artists. While speaking to Bollywood Bubble, Madhoo shared, 'My father was a producer. I am from Hema Malini's family; she is my cousin. My mother was a dancer. My whole background was around dance, music, and films. But whatever I did, I did it myself. First of all, it was a struggle that I had to tell my father that I wanted to become an actor, because he wanted me to become a doctor. Second, I did not have support, and I did not have confidence. I felt that if I told people that I wanted to become an actor, people would laugh. I had to get out of self-doubt. I did not even know how to approach someone for work. All this was a big struggle for me. First of all, I got rejection.' She added, 'My father was a producer, so he had a film Awaargi, which had Anil Kapoor, Govinda, and Meenakshi. I had gone for the song recording of that film. When a producer saw me there, he told my father that he wanted to cast me in a film. But my father got angry about it. But then I told my father to say yes. Then he got me trained. But when the film started, after four days only, he felt that I was not ready, and I was replaced.' When Madhoo came to know about her replacement, her heart broke. However, she did not lose hope and turned out to be one of the most well-known actresses of the '90s.

Jackson Wang Nails Katrina Kaif's Chikni Chameli Hook Step In Viral Video

Last Updated: K-pop star Jackson Wang grooves to Katrina Kaif's Chikni Chameli during his India visit. Watch the viral video that has fans loving his Bollywood flair! K-pop sensation Jackson Wang is wrapping up his recent India visit with a heart full of memories and a bag full of viral moments. The 31-year-old GOT7 member was in Mumbai as part of the promotions for his much-anticipated album Magic Man 2, which drops on July 18. And while the music world eagerly awaits his next release, Indian fans were treated to a different kind of magic — one that involved Bollywood dance moves and street food. A video that's now winning hearts on Instagram shows Jackson effortlessly grooving to the iconic Chikni Chameli track from the 2012 film Agneepath. Dressed in an all-black outfit, the singer-rapper delivered the hook step with surprising ease. Fans were left wondering — who taught Jackson these moves? 'Our boy knows how to excel at everything," read one caption, perfectly capturing the sentiment. The song, originally performed by Katrina Kaif with Hrithik Roshan also featuring in the film, seems to have inspired Jackson. And it doesn't stop there. During his stay, Jackson met Hrithik Roshan and his family, sparking a hilarious rumour that he was joining the Krrish franchise. He later clarified in an interview with NDTV, 'I was only joking. Hrithik is a good friend. I admire him a lot, but no, I'm not a part of Krrish or any other film at the moment. I was just trolling — and it became headlines the next day!" Beyond Bollywood, Jackson's India diary was packed with celebrity encounters and cultural moments. He met musical legends like Adnan Sami, Salim Merchant, and Pritam, and posed with stars like Sonu Nigam, Tiger Shroff, and Karan Johar. He also got a taste of local cuisine, sharing a picture of him enjoying dahi puri with the caption, 'Bahut bahut dhanyawad. What a wonderful trip. Will definitely be back for Magic Man 2 to perform."

Adnan Sami calls hate over renouncing Pakistani citizenship and embracing Indian identity ‘ex-lover syndrome': ‘When a former partner sees you moving on…'

Although it's been almost a decade since he officially became an Indian citizen, renowned singer-composer Adnan Sami is still frequently reminded that he was born a Pakistani. From subtle taunts to direct personal attacks on social media, he continues to face criticism in various forms. Yet, Adnan has never missed an opportunity to express how proud he is to be an Indian, with his reaction to the Pahalgam terror attack serving as a strong example. In a recent interview, he opened up about the hatred he receives for renouncing his Pakistani citizenship and embracing Indian identity. He likened the criticism to a situation where a person, who is jealous of a former partner moving on and finding happiness, begins to badmouth them. He also dubbed it a form of love 'that manifests in an absurd way'. He shared during a chat with Bollywood Bubble, 'It's like an ex-lover. When an ex-lover sees you moving on and getting involved with somebody else, they'll always come up with reasons to hate you. But the reason why they actually do that is because they still haven't gotten over you. It's love, and love manifests in many absurd ways.' Also Read | Bollywood star who worked with Rishi Kapoor, Shabana Azmi was arrested for trying to enter an ashram, has been missing for 20 years despite Rishi trying to find him Describing the backlash as a classic case of 'sour grapes', Adnan Sami said he, however, understands the mindset of his critics and where their resentment stems from. Nonetheless, he noted that they are unaware of the circumstances that led him to make the decision. For the unversed, Adnan Sami was born in England and previously held both Pakistani and Canadian citizenship. He moved to India in 2001 and was granted citizenship in 2016. 'It is ridiculous for anyone from anywhere to presume that they know what the reasons were behind it. There were solid reasons. At the end of the day, you can argue and say, 'People are migrating all over the world all the time. Why don't they have issues with them?' First of all, because of the geopolitical nature between India and Pakistan, there is a rivalry between the two for whatever reason. But more than that, it is the ex-lover syndrome,' he claimed. Adnan Sami also pointed out that despite being a well-known artiste with numerous hits, the Pakistani government never acknowledged his work or honoured him in any way, thus turning a blind eye to his contributions. 'That's just the tip of the iceberg. However, let me make it very clear, my audience and people over there have always been very loving. And they still are, and I love them very much even today. I'm very grateful to them for all the love that they've given me.' He further maintained that his issues have always been with the Pakistani government, not the people, and particularly with how he was treated by those in power. 'For an artiste, the biggest nourishment is love. So, from whichever corner of the world they get that love, they will be very grateful for it. My music is for everybody. I have not put any boundaries on my music. You want to listen to it? Most welcome. You don't want to? Thanks for trying.'
