Sonakshi
Sinha's Paranormal Encounter at Home
In a candid conversation with Bollywood Hungama, Sonakshi Sinha admitted that she never believed in ghosts or anything supernatural—until a disturbing incident at her own home completely shook her beliefs. What she once dismissed as fiction suddenly felt all too real, leaving her questioning everything she thought she knew. 'I used to not believe. I used to not believe at all," she said.
'But one day, something very weird happened to me in my house.
Since then, I've been a little shaken. But after that, nothing happened, so I thought, maybe it was a dream? It was a harmless ghost — possibly."
Encounter at 4 AM
Sonakshi shared that the incident happened around 4 in the morning, when she was half asleep and half awake. 'I was in that stage where your eyes are shut but your mind is alert. Suddenly, I felt this pressure, like someone was trying to wake me up.
I was terrified. I just froze. I didn't open my eyes. I couldn't move. I stayed like that till morning — I didn't open my eyes until the lights came on. It really shook me up."
The experience had such a strong impact on Sonakshi that the following night, she actually spoke out loud to the unseen presence. She hoped that by doing so, she could stop it from coming back again.
Recalling the moment, she said, 'When I came home the next night, it was late again. I peeked in first, then said very loudly: 'Jo bhi aaya tha kal raat ko, phirse aise mat karo. Main bohot darr gayi thi. Agar kuch baat karni hai toh mere sapne mein aana… no face-to-face conversation.' And then I walked in. I swear, since then, nothing like that has happened again."

Is Allu Arjun Replacing Ranveer Singh In Shaktimaan? Here's What Director Basil Joseph Said

Ranveer Singh is confirmed to play Shaktimaan in the reboot film. Director Basil Joseph denies rumours of Allu Arjun replacing him, calling them unfounded. A fresh wave of speculation recently hit the internet, suggesting that Allu Arjun might step into the iconic role of Shaktimaan in the upcoming big-screen adaptation of the beloved 90s superhero series. The rumour triggered excitement among fans, especially after actor Mukesh Khanna — who originally portrayed the superhero — praised Allu Arjun's charisma and screen presence. However, the makers have now clarified that no such casting change is on the cards. The Shaktimaan film, currently in development, is being written and directed by Minnal Murali filmmaker Basil Joseph, who has had Ranveer Singh in mind for the titular role from the very beginning. While rumours often surface around major projects like this, a source close to the production has dismissed the latest buzz. 'No one else is doing Shaktimaan. It is Ranveer Singh and no one else. Whoever is spreading rumours of his replacement clearly has their own agenda," the source told Bollywood Hungama, firmly putting the speculation to rest. To confirm the development, Bollywood Hungama reached out to director Basil Joseph, who stated unequivocally, 'Shaktimaan will be made only with Ranveer Singh." The rumour likely gained traction due to a statement made last year by Mukesh Khanna on his YouTube channel. Without officially endorsing anyone, Khanna had mused on Allu Arjun's potential in the superhero role. 'Main commit nahi kar raha hun, bol bhi nahi raha hun, judge bhi nahi kar raha hun lekin Shaktimaan ban sakta hai ye. Real life mein bhi acchi look hai acchi height hai… Inke baare mein kaha jaa sakta hai, socha jaa sakta hai ki inko lo," he had said. Khanna also took a moment to praise Allu Arjun's performance and the production values of Pushpa 2. 'Film sirf paisa phenkne se nahi banti… every frame speaks they have done a good job. When you have conviction in yourself, you convince the audience."

Meet actor whose debut film was superhit, than delivered 7 flops in a row, later made a comeback with Rs 400 crore hit, his name is..., film is...

This actor entered the world of cinema with dreams of becoming a leading hero, but fate had different plans. Despite giving his best, he faced one failure after another, 11 films that couldn't win the audience. Just when his career seemed to be slipping into oblivion, a multi-starrer film came his way, not as the hero, but as the antagonist. Ironically, it was the dark shade of the villain's role that illuminated his talent. That performance not only won hearts but also resurrected his journey in Bollywood, proving, 'you either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.' Bollywood Actor Arjun Kapoor Here we are talking about Arjun Kapoor, who began his career with the hit film 'Ishaqzaade' in 2012. Despite a strong start, several of his subsequent films, such as 'Aurangzeb' and 'Finding Fanny', struggled at the box office, with only 'Gunday' and 'Two States' performing moderately well. After experiencing 7 consecutive flops, he revitalized his career by taking on a villain role in 'Singham Again'. This shift shows that embracing darker characters can lead to a successful comeback. However, his list of unsuccessful films includes 'Finding Fanny', 'Tevar', 'Mubarakan', 'Namaste England', 'India's Most Wanted', 'Panipat', 'Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar', and 'Half Girlfriend', which was average. Other films like 'Ki & Ka', 'Kuttey', 'Ek Villain Returns', and 'Lady Killer' also contributed to the decline of Arjun Kapoor's career. Arjun Kapoor as an Antagonist Following this period, Arjun Kapoor decided to portray a villain on the big screen. His performance in Rohit Shetty's action thriller 'Singham Again' garnered significant attention. In the movie, he excelled in the role of the villain Danger Lanka, providing tough competition to Ajay Devgn's iconic character Bajirao Singham. Released in 2024, the action-thriller marked a turning point, making Arjun Kapoor a star once more. The film also featured other prominent actors, including Ajay Devgn, Akshay Kumar, Tiger Shroff, Kareena Kapoor, Deepika Padukone, and Ranveer Singh. The total earnings of the film worldwide reached Rs 400 crore. Arjun Kapoor's Recently Released Film Arjun Kapoor's film 'Mere Husband Ki Biwi' was released in 2025. Alongside him, Bhumi Pednekar and Rakul Preet Singh played lead roles. Unfortunately, the movie received mixed reviews from critics, and the audience did not respond well to the story. As a result, it flopped at the box office. Made at a cost of Rs 60 crore, 'Mere Husband Ki Biwi' underperformed upon release. According to a report from Bollywood Hungama, the film earned Rs 9.38 crore in India, with total worldwide earnings of Rs 12.73 crore. The verdict for Arjun Kapoor's 'Mere Husband Ki Biwi' is a flop.
