Akshay Kumar spills the beans on Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor’s early romance days Akshay Kumar recalls Saif Ali Khan’s 'early morning jog' secret with Kareena Kapoor on Kaun Banega Crorepati PROMO LINK: https://www.instagram.com/reel/Dc2q7BtK97a/?igsi=b2tuandvcHhrOW95 Mumbai: In the latest episode of Sony Entertainment Television’s popular quiz reality show Kaun Banega Crorepati, host Mr. Amitabh Bachchan welcomes Bollywood icons Akshay Kumar, Saif Ali Khan, and veteran filmmaker Priyadarshan to the legendary hotseat. The special appearance marks a massive cinematic milestone: Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan are reuniting on screen after 18 long years. As the conversation continued, host Mr Amitabh Bachchan quizzed Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan about the early days of Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor Khan's love story. Bringing up Saif and Kareena’s romance Mr. Bachchan said, “Aapki aur aapki jo abhi patni hain Kareena ji, unki jo prem kahani hai bhai sahab, woh shuru hui thi Tashan movie mein. Kya yeh sahi hai?” (The love story between you and your present wife, Kareena ji, started during the movie Tashan. Is that correct?) Prompting to megastars’ ask, Saif Ali Khan responded, “Yes, sir. Sahi hai, sir.” (Yes, sir. That’s correct, sir) Further Big B pointed out that during the shooting of the film Tashan Akshay Kumar was a firsthand eyewitness to it all. The cine icon went on to add, “Aur Akshay ji jo the, yeh witness the us romance ke. Bhaisab, aap bata sakte hain hamaari janta ko ki aapne kya dekha? Ya woh bataiye jo aap nahi dekh sake?” (And Akshay ji was a witness to that romance. Brother, can you tell our audience what you saw? Or tell us what you couldn't see?) Taking the cue with a mischievous smile, Akshay Kumar left everyone in splits by recalling a funny morning instance from the set, “Toh sir, main subah 4:30 baje uthta tha. Kareena ka room baaju mein tha. Ek din, suddenly yeh darwaza khula, toh yeh sahab nikle. And sir aaye... 'Kya kar rahe ho?'... 'Nahi, kuch nahi, we are both going for a jog.” (I didn't see anything... So sir, I used to wake up at 4:30 AM in the morning. Kareena's room was right next door. One day, suddenly that door opened, and this gentleman stepped out. And sir came... 'What are you doing?'... 'No, nothing, we are both going for a jog) Listening to this Said immediately joined in the conversation and tried to maintain the story repeating, “Yes! Early morning jog.” Akshay than continued further with a laugh, “So he had come to wake her up to go for a jog.” As the studio audience erupted in laughter, Saif playfully thanked Akshay for covering for him on national television. Kaun Banega Crorepati airs Monday to Friday at 9:00 PM on Sony Entertainment Television!

Bharti Singh’s heart is ‘twice as full’ this Janmashtami as Gola and twin as little Krishnas’ Bharti Singh & Harssh Limbachiyaa reveal their celebrates Janmashtami with ‘two little Krishnas’ Gola and Kaju Mumbai: Janmashtami is a festival that brings together devotion, joy, family and cherished traditions. This year, Sony Entertainment Television’s Indian Game Show with Bharti and Harssh brings the festive spirit alive with a special Janmashtami celebration, as hosts Bharti Singh and Harssh Limbachiyaa share their love for the festival and the traditions they are creating for their children. For Bharti, Janmashtami has become even more special since the arrival of her children, Gola and Kaju. Sharing her fondness for the festival and her excitement around celebrating it with her family, *Bharti Singh, Host of Indian Game Show with Bharti and Harssh,* _"For me, Janmashtami has always been one of the happiest festivals because it fills the house with so much excitement, devotion and family time. Ever since Gola was born, I wait for this day to dress him up as little Krishna, and now with Kaju, my heart feels twice as full. Watching my two little Krishnas smile, play and celebrate together is a memory I want to cherish forever. At home, we make our own little Dahi Handi celebration, and everyone joins in with so much enthusiasm. I truly believe festivals become meaningful when children experience them with their family and grow up understanding the stories and values behind them. This year, bringing that same Janmashtami spirit to Indian Game Show with Bharti and Harssh made it even more special. We laughed, played and celebrated together, and I hope our audience feels the same festive joy while watching it with their loved ones."_ Echoing the sentiment, Harssh Limbachiyaa spoke about the importance of passing traditions and cultural values on to the next generation. At home, the family celebrates Janmashtami with their own Dahi Handi tradition, with Gola dressed as little Krishna and the family coming together for the festivities. Speaking about the celebration, *Harssh Limbachiyaa, Host of Indian Game Show with Bharti and Harssh,* _“Janmashtami is one of those festivals that brings so much joy, energy and warmth into the home. I feel it is important that our children grow up knowing about all our festivals and understanding the beautiful traditions behind them, rather than just celebrating them as occasions. At home, we make sure to celebrate Janmashtami in our own little way. We bring a handi home and create our own Dahi Handi celebration, and we dress Gola up as little Krishna before breaking the handi. Now, with Kaju also in our lives, it feels even more special because there are two little Bal Krishnas in our house. Seeing them dressed as Krishna and celebrating the festival together is such a beautiful feeling. This year, we have also brought the Janmashtami spirit to Indian Game Show with Bharti and Harssh with a special game around the festival. Playing it together was so much fun, and it made the celebration even more exciting. These are the traditions and memories I want my children to grow up with, because festivals are not just about a day on the calendar, they are about bringing the family together and passing on our culture and stories to the next generation.”_ The celebration captures the essence of Janmashtami through fun, games and togetherness, while Bharti and Harssh bring their trademark warmth and infectious energy to the festivities. Catch Indian Game Show with Bharti and Harssh, airing daily Monday-Sunday only on Sony Entertainment Television.

Vikrant Rai and Surbhi Talodiya Starrer ‘Cousin Isha’ First Look Out, Poster Hints at Evergreen Romance The motion poster of ‘Cousin Isha’ offers the first glimpse of Vikrant Rai and Surbhi Talodiya’s refreshing on-screen chemistry, with the poster hinting at an evergreen romance at the heart of the film. The Teaser poster of Cousin Isha has given audiences their first closer glimpse at the chemistry between lead actors Vikrant Rai and Surbhi Talodiya, and the pairing already appears to be one of the film’s key highlights. Produced under the banner of Vikrant Rai Films (VRF), Cousin Isha is an upcoming Hindi romantic drama directed by and starring Vikrant Rai, with Surbhi Talodiya playing the female lead. What immediately stands out in the motion poster is the effortless dynamic between Rai and Talodiya. Rather than revealing the complete story, the glimpse focuses on the mood and relationship between the two characters, hinting at a romance that carries innocence, warmth and a sense of old-school charm. Their presence together brings a natural romantic energy to the frame. The expressions, moments and visual chemistry showcased in the Teaser poster suggest a relationship that is not limited to conventional romance, but also carries elements of playfulness and emotion. Set against the backdrop of Azamgarh, Uttar Pradesh, Cousin Isha places its central love story in a world far removed from the usual urban settings of Hindi romantic films. The setting, combined with the chemistry between its lead pair, gives the film a distinct visual and emotional identity. For Vikrant Rai, the project is particularly significant as he takes on the dual role of actor and director. Alongside him, Surbhi Talodiya brings the female lead to life, forming the film’s central on-screen pairing. The motion poster has therefore done more than introduce the film — it has offered audiences an early taste of what could become a memorable new romantic pairing. With more promotional material expected in the coming days, viewers will get to see more of Vikrant Rai and Surbhi Talodiya’s characters and the relationship they share. Cousin Isha is produced by R G Chandra and co-produced by Parul Tomar under Vikrant Rai Films. The film’s release date is yet to be announced.

*Abhishek Pathak and Sandeep Francis' 'Switch Off' Heads to Paris's L’Étrange Festival: It is a very special moment* *Milestone Achieved! Abhishek Pathak and Sandeep Francis' 'Switch Off' Enters Paris's L’Étrange Festival* *Abhishek Pathak and Sandeep Francis' 'Switch Off' Receives an Official Selection for L’Étrange Festival in Paris* Producer-director Abhishek Pathak and director-writer Sandeep Francis have registered a proud moment as their 11-minute thriller ‘Switch Off’ has been officially selected for the 32nd L’Étrange Festival in Paris. The film will be screened at the iconic Forum des Images, marking a prominent feat for the team. "Being selected for L’Étrange Festival Paris is a wonderful recognition for the film and the team," shares Pathak. ‘Switch Off’ continues to make a mark, attracting positive reactions on a global level, including a screening at South Korea’s BIFAN. As the film features an unpredictable setup, Pathak eagerly awaited how the Parisian viewers would connect with it. "I think they will connect with the way the story is told. The film gets the audience into the world very quickly and keeps the story moving. There is a certain unpredictability to the way it unfolds, which I think will work well with a festival audience,” he says. The satisfaction of the film making an international festival run offers an unmatched fulfillment for Pathak. "They are very different experiences. A box-office success gives you the excitement of scale, while a festival selection gives you the satisfaction of seeing a story travel in a completely different environment. For us, having Switch Off selected at L’Étrange Festival Paris is a very special moment,” he adds. Revealing what attracted him towards the project, he says, “What attracted me was the way Sandeep had approached the story. The film largely takes place at night, beginning inside a small mobile repair shop where the repairman is working alone. From there, he finds himself alone on the streets of Kochi. Keeping the character isolated and the world around him increasingly empty, Sandeep has managed to create an engaging experience.” "The idea itself is simple, but an interesting cinematic way of presenting it did work well. When I saw it, I felt there was enough happening within those few minutes to keep an audience engaged and take them somewhere emotionally," concludes Pathak. The 32nd L’Étrange Festival takes place at the Forum des images in Paris from September 1 to September 12, 2026.
