‘Pretty lost' Varun Dhawan, Ahan Shetty hop on Pune metro after wrapping ‘Border 2' shoot
Varun Dhawan and Ahan Shetty, who are currently shooting for the highly anticipated war drama 'Border 2' alongside Sunny Deol and Diljit Dosanjh, recently had an amusing detour in Pune — one that involved getting lost and hopping onto the city metro. In a video shared on Instagram by Ahan Shetty, the actor can be seen filming himself and Ahan inside a metro compartment. The light-hearted clip begins with Varun saying, 'Right now, we are in Pune. We are pretty lost. So Ahan and me are getting on this metro and trying to get to our hotel. The actors had reportedly just wrapped up the first schedule of the film, and the spontaneous metro ride was part of their effort to find their way back to their hotel. Ahan captioned the video,'1st sched done…. Maza aaya (sic),' which translates to 'First schedule done, had fun.' The video quickly caught fans' attention, with many reacting to the unexpected metro ride. Several commuters recognised the actors and could be seen trying to click pictures through the window. Suniel Shetty, Ahan's father, commented under the video using a red heart emoji in place of the word 'love', simply writing, '❤️ it (sic).' The comments section was filled with amused and affectionate reactions. One user joked, 'bro took a metro in pune—Pune people don't take that (sic)!' Another wrote, 'Pune just got way cooler (sic),' while a third encouraged the actors, saying, 'How sweet… hope Border 2 brings your best performance. All the best… keep enjoying (sic).' 'Border 2' is a sequel to the 1997 blockbuster 'Border', and expectations are high with an ensemble cast and a patriotic storyline. The film's first schedule seems to have wrapped up on a positive and rather adventurous note for Varun and Ahan - as seen in the video.

Hailey Bieber Drops Unseen Pregnancy Photo Amid Divorce Rumors With Justin Bieber
Last Updated: Hailey Bieber shares a never-seen pregnancy photo with Jack Blues amid ongoing divorce rumors with Justin Bieber. Fans spot missing ring, sparking speculation. Hailey Bieber, entrepreneur, model, and now a mother, has stirred hearts and headlines once again. On June 22, the founder and creative lead of Rhode Beauty took to Instagram to share a deeply personal moment—a never-before-seen photograph from her pregnancy with her son, Jack Blues Bieber. The photo, a quiet tribute to the life-changing experience of motherhood, was paired with the caption: 'June 22, 2024, now my baby is 10 months old" along with crying-face emojis. Dressed in a soft blush-pink gown, her hands gently cradling her baby bump, and her sleek bob adding poise to her glow, Hailey's post was equal parts elegant and emotional. For fans, it wasn't just another celebrity snapshot—it was a glimpse into a private memory, a milestone moment revisited as her son nears his first birthday. But the post comes at a complicated time for Hailey and her husband, pop star Justin Bieber. Whispers of strain in their marriage have been growing louder in recent weeks, triggered by subtle but telling moments. According to reports from The Sun, Hailey was seen twice in New York without her wedding ring—first during a casual breakfast at The Commerce Inn, and later while out with friends for a girls' night. On both occasions, eyewitnesses noted how she seemed to deliberately showcase her bare left hand, leading to speculation that the gesture was more intentional than accidental. This ringless appearance, paired with her emotionally reflective post, has added more fuel to the fire of growing rumors about trouble in the Bieber household. Insiders claim that Hailey is 'fed up" with Justin's unpredictable and, at times, self-destructive behavior. His recent antics include visits to strip clubs, sporadic and cryptic social media posts, and a Father's Day celebration that turned heads not just for its extravagance—but for its omissions. On what was his first Father's Day as a dad, Justin shared photos of luxury gifts—a $38,000 Audemars Piguet watch and a customized bracelet engraved with his son's name. Yet, Hailey and Jack were conspicuously missing from the posts. Instead, Justin shared cryptic reflections on 'transactional relationships," which many interpreted as subtle commentary on the state of his personal life. Fans and sources close to the couple have observed changes in Justin's online demeanor, noting erratic behavior and a noticeable decline in his usual tone. His posts have become increasingly enigmatic, and for a man who once publicly adored his wife, the recent digital silence on that front has been hard to ignore. Still, not all signs point to an imminent split. A recent Vanity Fair profile offered a more nuanced look at the couple's dynamic. The article suggested that despite the noise, Hailey and Justin remain committed to one another. It portrays Hailey as intensely focused on motherhood and on creating a safe, grounded life for their child. Justin, meanwhile, is reportedly navigating a phase of emotional growth—grappling with the pressures of fame, parenthood, and inner transformation. And while her personal life may be under scrutiny, Hailey's professional star continues to rise. Her skincare brand, Rhode, has officially joined the billion-dollar club after being acquired by E.l.f. Beauty in a massive $1 billion deal. The acquisition includes $600 million in cash, $200 million in E.l.f. stock, and up to $200 million in future performance-based payouts. As per Forbes, the deal not only solidifies Hailey's position as a serious player in the beauty industry but also sets the stage for Rhode's entry into Sephora stores across North America and the U.K. by year's end. With Rhode's exponential growth and her role as a new mother, Hailey appears to be steering her life with grace and quiet strength, even as speculation swirls around her marriage. Her throwback photo wasn't just about nostalgia—it was about anchoring herself to what matters most. First Published:

CBFC asks Union Minister Suresh Gopi's JSK - Janaki vs State of Kerala makers to change title over Goddess Sita's name
Industry sources said the release of the Suresh Gopi-starrer Malayalam movie JSK-Janaki vs. State of Kerala has hit a hurdle. The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) reportedly denied it screening permission over the name of the title character. The Pravin Narayanan-directed movie, with Union Minister Suresh Gopi and Anupama Parameswaran in lead roles, reportedly revolves around the legal battle of an assaulted woman named Janaki against the state. Anupama Parameswaran and Suresh Gopi in a still from JSK - Janaki vs State of Kerala. According to sources, the film was reportedly denied screening clearance, citing that Janaki, an alternative name of Goddess Sita, cannot be used for such a character. Pravin, in a Facebook post, confirmed on Saturday that the Censor Board has denied screening permission for the movie. He said in the post, without elaborating, that there would be no release on 27 June. Meanwhile, noted director B Unnikrishnan, the general secretary of the Film Employees Federation of Kerala (FEFKA), on Sunday told reporters that the makers of the JSK were clearly informed by the CBFC that the name Janaki cannot be used in the movie. "They have not received any written information in this regard. A show-cause notice is yet to be received. They expect to get it by Monday," he told reporters in Kochi. The CBFC clearly stated to the film's crew that the name Sita cannot be used either in the title or for the character in the movie, Unnikrishnan said. "The story is about the legal fight carried out by an assaulted woman against the state. It is said (by the Board) that Goddess Sita's name cannot be given to the woman character who suffered assault," he said. Another filmmaker faced similar issue He said another Malayalam filmmaker recently faced a similar issue over the name of a character called Janaki in his movie, and he was forced to change it to Jayanthi to get Censor Board certification. Terming the Board's action as "strange", the FEFKA secretary asked where the country is heading. He said filmmakers are even denied the freedom to give the characters in their films the names of their choice. The director also said that in this circumstance, it would be tough to choose a name for characters belonging to the Hindu religion, as the majority of them would be epithets of Gods or Goddesses. Union Minister Suresh Gopi and the makers of the film were immediately not available for a comment.
