Why you gotta be so rude?

The video sees Kaushal attempting to strike up a conversation with Khan as the latter is being ushered in amidst heavy security. However, Khan barely breaks his walk to speak to Kaushal, inevitably leaving him looking confused. "Aam admi ki tarah side me kar dia, but, we know Salman Khan needs security," wrote one user. Another shared, "That was arrogant, and rude. Vicky was bulldozed aside like he was no one." Many users were also keen to know how Kaushal's wife Katrina Kaif, Khan's frequent collaborator and rumoured ex, reacted to the incident.

Exploring Gujarat

Ananth Anaadih Vadnagar, a two-part docuseries, will explore the history of India's fortified city, Vadnagar, located in Gujarat's Mehsana district. Each episode will delve into a specific era, beginning with Vadnagar's evolution from a modest settlement, to a prominent town during the Mauryan Era. The series will be hosted by writer-lyricist Manoj Muntashir Shukla. "The opportunity of hosting this docuseries has been uniquely reassuring, and a learning experience for me, and for that, I am truly grateful. Despite Vadnagar's widespread recognition, there were numerous fascinating aspects about the city that remained unknown to me, and I am confident that there will also be revelations for many people in India. The discoveries made in the docuseries took me by surprise."

The previous Bigg Boss OTT season was hosted by filmmaker Karan Johar, but this time the original host of the show will take over duties for the web platform too. Khan has hosted the past 13 seasons of the show.

Worth the while

Abhishek Bachchan says collaborating with his father, megastar Amitabh Bachchan, has always been a delight, but they look for scripts that help them deliver "memorable" experiences for the audiences. "As actors, we both enjoy working with each other. But, we also understand the responsibility towards our audience. Since we have done such wonderful, and memorable work together, we want to carry on doing that. So, we wait for the right script, and as soon as that happens, we are happy to work together," he said when asked about pairing up with his father on screen again. Some of the duo's past memorable films include Bunty Aur Babli, Sarkar, Paa (which saw Amitabh as Abhishek's son), and Kabhie Alvida Naa Kehna.
