Shatrughan Sinha says his kids Sonakshi Sinha, Luv and Kush don't do drugs - "I can proudly say that their upbringing is so good"

Veteran actor Shatrughan Sinha has said that his three kids Sonakshi Sinha, Luv, and Kush don't do drugs. They don't have such vices and their upbringing is good. In an interview, the actor spoke about the manner in which Shah Rukh Khan's son Aryan Khan was arrested earlier this month by Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB).

While speaking to NDTV India, Shatrughan said, “Justice hona chahiye aur aaj wohi hua (There should be justice and that is what has happened today),” referring to Aryan Khan receiving bail after three weeks.

When asked whether it is challenging for celebs to guide their children, he said, “Chunauti ho ya na ho, aisa zaroor hona chahiye. Mera shuru se maanna hai, main toh preach aur practice karta hoon, anti-tobacco campaign karta hoon. Main humesha kehta hoon, ‘say no to drugs and shun tobacco’ (Whether it is challenging or not, they must guide their children. I practice what I preach, I am a part of anti-tobacco campaigns. I always say, ‘say no to drugs and shun tobacco’).”

“Aaj main iss maamle mein bhagyashaali samajhta hoon ki mere bachche hai, Luv-Kush aur meri beti Sonakshi, main inn bachchon ke baare mein bohot fakhr se keh sakta hoon ki inki upbringing itni achchi hui hai ki inko kisi kism ki aisi koi habit ya aise maamle mein na unko kabhi suna hai, na dekha hai, na paaya hai na woh karte hai aisi koi harkat (I consider myself lucky that my children - Luv, Kush and Sonakshi… I can proudly say that their upbringing is so good that they don’t have any such habit. I have never heard them being associated with or seen them doing such things),” he added.

Aryan Khan received bail on October 28 by Bombay High Court. He was taken into custody on the night of October 2 by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) along with a few others after the agency conducted a raid on a cruise ship off the Mumbai coast. On October 3, Aryan Khan was arrested by the NCB in the case. On October 30, Aryan Khan was released from Arthur Road Jail.

Bhumi Pednekar has always been a socially conscious citizen and she has started a much-lauded pan India advocacy campaign - Climate Warrior, to raise awareness on Environmental Conservation and Climate Change. Climate Warrior is a concerted social media initiative that Bhumi spearheads to highlight the incredible work done by tireless environmental activists and citizen groups across India. She uses her highly engaged social media following to voice concerns about the rapidly changing climatic conditions in the nation. Now, Bhumi is starting a series of chats on national radio to reach out to a wider set of people and engage them on the subject of climate conservation, an issue she feels needs immediate attention.

Bhumi says, “It is important to have this important conversation about climate change out in the open. We are in a crisis and we just can’t look away. We have to do whatever it takes to educate people about the need to protect the environment. We are running out of time and we cannot make our next generations vulnerable. I have vowed to use all my resources and my voice to bring as much awareness as possible.”

"I’m hungry to be one of the best actors in our industry" - says Bunty Aur Babli 2 star Siddhant Chaturvedi

Actor Siddhant Chaturvedi shot into the limelight with his brilliant acting as rapper MC Sher in Gully Boy that also earned him a lot of acclaim. Given his prowess in front of the camera, Siddhant landed his first role as the quintessential masala Hindi film hero in Yash Raj Films’ rib-tickling family entertainer Bunty Aur Babli 2. He plays the New Bunty in this laugh-out-loud con film. Siddhant hails from the small town of Ballia, Uttar Pradesh and he wants to make the town and state proud of his achievements.

A complete outsider to Bollywood, Siddhant had to face gruelling struggles before he got noticed. He says, “For someone who comes from a small town like Ballia, Uttar Pradesh, first getting a break in Bollywood, to now being a hero of a commercial big Hindi film is truly a dream come true. I never thought I could make it because I had seen so many talented people from small towns like me struggle hard to get noticed.”

He adds, “It is very tough but I have to admit that there is a lot of learning in that struggle. It grounded me, showed me the reality of a big town, and guided me to not look at anything with rose-tinted glasses. My struggle made me stronger and I can’t complain about that. I’m truly fortunate that I got my break with Excel Films and a visionary film-maker like Zoya Akhtar.”

Siddhant states, “I want to represent Ballia well with my work and make people from my town proud of me. I hope I’m a good representative of the talent that exists in Uttar Pradesh and also in small towns across the length and breadth of our beautiful country. I’m hungry to be one of the best actors in our industry. I have miles to go and I’m willing to learn every single day because that’s what will help me realise my goal.”

Bunty Aur Babli 2 also features Saif Ali Khan and Rani Mukerji as the original Bunty and Babli. Gorgeous debutant Sharvari plays the new Babli who is hot, intelligent, and tech-savvy. This comedy will pit two sets of con artists, from different generations, against each other as they try to prove who is the better con couple!

Yash Raj Films’ Bunty Aur Babli 2, which is set to release worldwide on November 19, 2021, has been directed by Varun V. Sharma.

EXCLUSIVE: "Squid Game was almost a DISMAL FAILURE in Korea; it became this huge thing internationally," says Emraan Hashmi

Actors Emraan Hashmi and Nikita Dutta are currently promoting their movie Dybbuk which released on Amazon Prime Video. In an exclusive interview with Bollywood Hungama, he talked about the OTT revolution, freedom in OTT and the popular Korean show Squid Game.

When asked how does Indian content need to to stand out internationally on the OTT platforms, Emraan mentioned that Squid Game wasn't a big success in Korea. He said that it was almost a dismal failure and that it became this huge internationally.

Emraan said, "There was competition in the theatres as well. Now, when we have Hollywood films that are giving equal amounts of challenge and competition at the box office to Indian films with films that are dubbed. I think that's great for any industry. I think the competition keeps you at your toes. You don't get into that complacent zone because you have to stand out from the crowd. So, that's good for any business, there should be more competition in that sense."

He added, "Sometimes what doesn't work in a particular region works for some other region. Like Squid Game wasn't a big success in Korea. It was almost a dismal failure in Korea. It became this huge thing internationally. So, that's how you buy into a culture that you don't know much about and it might be the most stereotypical thing for them to see but you want to see it being from another culture because it's new for you. So, there are a lot of eyeballs out there who can pick up stuff that is the run of the mill for your country."
