Bollywood wishes Malala on her big day

Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Divya Dutta wished Malala Yousafzai love and happiness in her marriage. On Tuesday, the Nobel Peace Prize winner tied the knot with Asser Malik, who is associated with the Pakistan Cricket Board.

It was a low-key nikah ceremony at her Birmingham home. In 2017, PeeCee had caught up with the human rights activist at an event in New York aimed at the importance of educating the girl child. Dutta featured in the film Gul Makai (2020), based on Yousafzai's life and times.

Keeping it short

After the Rajkummar Rao and Kriti Sannon-starrer Hum Do Hamare Do, Saanand Verma will be seen in Thank God featuring Sidharth Malhotra, Ajay Devgn and Rakul Preet Singh.

Action mode

Last seen in Mirror Game (2017), Pooja Batra is back with Squad. Nilesh Sahay's actioner is the lauchpad of Danny Denzongpa's son, Rinzing. "I had moved to the other side of the world. I was in Los Angeles all this time. That's why you didn't see me," says Batra, best remembered for Priyadarshan's Virasat (1997) and David Dhawan's Haseena Maan Jayegi (1999). "Nilesh had written the character of Nandani Rajput with me in mind. I loved the script," she says about her role in the film, which drops on ZEE5. Batra wed actor Nawab Shah in 2019. She was earlier married to LA-based orthopaedic surgeon Sonu S Ahluwalia. They parted ways in 2011.

Who deserved it more?

A war of words has erupted on Twitter over Kangana Ranaut bagging the Padma Shri, and not Sonu Sood. Fans of Sood wonder why he was ignored despite his "exemplary role" in helping the migrants during the pandemic and the continued support to the needy. "He arranged buses for migrant workers to go back home, flights for students stuck overseas, hospital beds and oxygen cylinders for the needy. Despite this, he was accused of pulling off nothing but a ‘PR stunt', called a ‘fraud', and his house raided for alleged tax evasion," posted an admirer. They feel he was sidelined for not being a "political ally" like Ranaut.

Health issues

Days after he stepped into Bigg Boss 15 as a wild card contestant, Raqesh Bapat exited the show due to a medical emergency. On Tuesday, after the actor experienced unbearable pain, he was rushed to a hospital from the set at Film City, Goregaon. He has been diagnosed with kidney stones. Bapat was keen to surprise rumoured girlfriend Shamita Shetty, a contestant on the Salman Khan-hosted reality show.
