Have you heard? A narrow escape!

Shraddha Das and Rashmika Mandanna

It appears Rashmika Mandanna won't forget her recent Mumbai to Hyderabad flight anytime soon. Reason: it was a rather scary experience for the Animal actor, who was joined by actor Shraddha Das. While they shared a smiling picture of them together, their caption read, "Just FYI [for your information], this is how we escaped death today." Turns out, less than half-an-hour after their flight took off, it returned to Mumbai for an emergency landing. Reportedly, the aircraft was redirected due to a technical glitch. Fortunately, all passengers and cabin crew got out safely and were unhurt.

Fracture no bar

Vicky Kaushal has been supporting his left arm in a sling after suffering a fracture while performing a stunt for Chhaava, director Laxman Utekar's biopic on Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj. Even as he is recovering from the injury, the actor isn't letting it come in the way of his exercise regime. In a recent social media post, Vicky can be seen doing seated crunches in a gym. Alongside, he wrote, "When we can't run, we walk… we don't stop." That's the spirit!

Vocal for local

In spite of being a big star, Yash is known for being down-to-earth with his fans when he meets them. Recently, when he was on his way to a temple with wife Radhika Pandit, the KGF actor stopped by at a local store to buy an ice-cream for her. Soon enough, they were surrounded by fans who wanted a picture with their idol. Yash, rooted as ever, stopped to click some images with them, before Radhika and he resumed their temple trip. The fans were, of course, impressed by their hero's humility and graciousness, and happy to get a memorable memento from him to go back with.

Singing SRK songs

It is known that Shah Rukh Khan enjoys immense popularity across the globe. Yesterday, a video of American wrestler and actor John Cena singing an SRK track went viral on social media. In the clip from a gym, we can see the Fast X actor crooning some lines of the song, Bholi si surat, from Dil To Pagal Hai (1997). The video was shared by the handle Bollywood Boyz, which introduced Cena as ‘a big Shah Rukh Khan fan', and captioned the post, "Lifting weights and singing Shah Rukh Khan songs."

Courting controversy

The docu-series, The Indrani Mukerjea Story: The Buried Truth, has hit a roadblock before its February 23 premiere. The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has filed an application in the Mumbai Special Court seeking a stay on the release of the series that is based on Indrani Mukerjea, the prime accused and currently on bail in the Sheena Bora murder case. The agency reportedly wants the court to issue direction to the accused and others concerned for staying/stopping the featuring of the accused persons and the persons connected with the case in the Netflix documentary and its broadcasting on any platform till the conclusion of the ongoing trial. Judge SP Naik-Nimbalkar has issued a legal notice to the streaming giant and others to respond to the application. The matter will be heard on February 20.

Readying for parenthood now

Last evening, Varun Dhawan and wife Natasha Dalal announced that they are expecting their first child. Alongside a picture on social media, the couple wrote, "We are pregnant. Need all your blessings and love." Soon enough, their post was flooded with reactions. While Malaika Arora congratulated the couple, and Janhvi Kapoor and Kriti Sanon reacted with heart emojis, Varun's actor-buddy Arjun Kapoor commented, "Daddy and Mommy Number 1," alluding to his director-daddy David Dhawan's several film titles. Incidentally, Varun and Natasha celebrated their third wedding anniversary on January 24. Going by the image the parents-to-be shared, it looks like they're all set to welcome their bundle of joy soon.
