On the ground
Sharing her experience of shooting Fighter at the Tezpur Air Force Station in Assam, Deepika Padukone recalled, “We shot our first schedule in Assam for 15 to 20 days. That was a live, active air base. It was a great decision on Sid’s [Siddharth Anand] part to start the film on that note. It gave us the tone and the pitch to carry the story forward. The real aircrafts, fighters and their families were there. We were eating in the same place as the officers and we were living in their quarters. We played badminton with them. It was all so surreal, we could literally hear a Sukhoi aircraft taking off every five minutes.”
Kiss and tell
In the latest episode of the ongoing reality TV show Bigg Boss 17, contestant Munawar Faruqui expressed his displeasure with co-contestant Mannara Chopra, who, he claims, kissed him while dancing on a festive evening. “I got uncomfortable because I have always maintained a line. I don’t want to say this to her because it will be awkward for her,” Faruqui told co-contestant Ankita Lokhande in the episode. He added, “When we were sitting on the sofa at night, she said the dance was nice, and asked, ‘You had fun while dancing?’ I said, it was,” he shared, highlighting the events that led to the kiss.

Meeting starts in 5 minutes!
Navya Naveli Nanda took to her Instagram stories to humour fans and remind them of a fan-favourite movie. Sharing a picture of herself seemingly interacting with someone on a virtual call on her laptop, she wrote, “When commuting overlaps with meetings. Moshi moshi. Somewhere on the outskirts of Faridabad.” Fans were reminded of Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, in which Hrithik Roshan’s Kabir was similarly seen participating in an online meeting in the midst of a road trip. We guess, these are the work protocols of this era.

Reacting to an article about them, she urged the media to not “embarrass” her by linking her “to a new man every day”. “My humble request to the media, please don’t spread misinformation. Nishant Pitti is happily married and I am dating someone else. Wait for the right time. Please don’t embarrass us. It is not nice to link a young woman to a new man every day just because they clicked pictures together,” she wrote alongside her post.
