Joining the modak party

Bollywood's Ganesh Chaturthi 2025 celebrations blended devotion with joy. At the visarjan, Salman Khan and his family bid farewell to Lord Ganesha, dancing to dhol beats with sister Arpita, brother Arbaaz and nephew Arhaan. Salman was seen folding his pants as he danced in rains while taking the Ganesha idol away, a moment that won hearts online. Earlier, Sonakshi Sinha and her husband Zaheer Iqbal joined the Khan family for the Ganesh Aarti at Galaxy, marking their first celebration together post-marriage. In another highlight, Genelia and Riteish Deshmukh’s sons, Riaan and Rahyl, gave a tech twist to the festival by designing robotic modaks, showcasing how tradition and innovation can go hand in hand during India’s beloved Ganpati season.

Done with politics?

Kangana Ranaut

After a string of flops spanning nearly a decade, Kangana Ranaut is apparently set to return to two of her most successful franchises. The actor, who last delivered a clear box office hit with Tanu Weds Manu Returns (2015), has faced around 12 failures since then. She was last seen in Emergency. Now, the buzz is that she will reunite with Vikas Bahl for Queen 2, which begins shooting in this November, with locations in India and London being finalised. Following this, we have learnt that Kangana will collaborate with Anand L Rai on Tanu Weds Manu 3, early next year. Kangana, after winning the Mandi Lok Sabha seat in 2024, has been balancing her political career, which so far has been defined as much by controversy and polarising remarks as by her work as a first-time MP.
