That's when the trio met. In a video going viral on social media, one can see Alia greeting her Raazi co-star, and joining Kat and him at the table. The three actors hung around together, chatting, until they headed to board their respective flights.

Triple delight

Yesterday, Anurag Kashyap's daughter Aaliyah and fiancé Shane Gregoire completed three years of togetherness. The couple opted to celebrate the occasion with a staycation in Goa. She shared a series of pictures from their special day, including that of a cake with ‘Happy Anniversary' written on it. She captioned her post, "The most perfect anniversary staycation." Aaliyah also shared a ‘get ready with me' video, saying, "Third anniversary vibes." The couple got engaged last month.

Vijay's shocker for mom

During a recent interaction, Vijay Varma revealed how a picture with Alia Bhatt shocked his mother. His favourite corner of his home is filled with gifts from his friends. A frame with Alia, in which they are dressed in wedding outfits for Darlings, occupies a prime position. Sharing that they didn't shoot the picture and it was photoshopped, Vijay recalled his mother freaking out. "My mother was like ‘shaadi kar li tune?' It was a practical joke on her," he has been quoted as saying. It's another thing that he is currently seeing Tamannaah Bhatia, who recently called him her ‘happy place'.

Sam's year of prayers and poojas

Even as Samantha is filming director duo Raj-DK's Citadel with Varun Dhawan in Belgrade, she took some time off to visit a church. The actor, who was diagnosed with the autoimmune condition Myositis last year, shared a series of pictures, saying, "Many battles with my body… no salt, sugar or grains with a cocktail of meds for main course, forced shutdowns and forced restarts. A year of prayers and poojas… not praying for blessings and gifts… but praying to just find strength and peace." Asserting that she must move forward one step at a time, she concluded her post, saying, "There will be so many of you fighting far harder battles. I pray for you too. The gods may delay, but they never deny."
