It was not long ago that we had reported that Priyanka Chopra had approached Alia Bhatt for a film to be made under her home banner, Purple Pebble Pictures. Reportedly, the film had been rejected by many leading actresses of Bollywood before it went to Alia.

Buzz has it that the Shaandaar actress has really liked the script, but she is finding it difficult to allot dates to Priyanka Chopra for the film which revolves around children and stray animals.

"The basic problem with Alia is that she doesn’t want to commit to too many films because Brahmastra is going to take a while in the making. Hence, she may have to juggle dates. Priyanka’s offer is also pretty open. She has offered Alia the option to choose her script and the director as well."

Alia will next be seen in Meghana Gulzar's upcoming film, Raazi. The shooting of the film has been wrapped up and now it is in the post-production stage. After the film releases on 11th May 2018, she will devote all her time to Ayan Mukerji's Brahmastra, which is going to take a lot of time in the making, leaving no time for Alia to sign other projects.

Well, it remains to be seen whether or not Alia gives her consent to PC's project.

Kim Kardashian didn’t know the Ambanis before saying yes to their ‘wild’ 50-pound wedding invite

Kim Kardashian and her sister Khloé Kardashian recently opened up about their whirlwind trip to India in July 2024. The two reality stars were among the global celebrities who attended the grand wedding of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant. In the latest episode of The Kardashians, Kim admitted that she didn’t personally know the Ambani family before attending the wedding. In fact, the decision to go was made pretty casually.

During the episode, Kim shared that her connection to the Ambanis came through Lorraine Schwartz, a close friend and well-known jeweller. Schwartz designs jewellery for the Ambanis and was attending the wedding herself. She mentioned to Kim that the family was interested in inviting the Kardashian sisters to the event. “Lorraine said they’d love to have us there. We thought, why not? And we just went for it,” Kim explained.

“I’ve never featured Bollywood at my shows,” Sabyasachi admitted. “But for my 25th anniversary, I wanted it to be personal. Deepika was the only person I could think of who carries the essence of what I believe in: tradition, modernity, and a certain quiet strength that speaks for India on a global stage.”

Kareena Kapoor tells Gillian Anderson the reason why she turns down intimate scenes

Kareena Kapoor Khan, one of Bollywood’s most loved stars, has spent over two decades making deliberate choices about the roles she takes. One of those decisions is steering clear of sex scenes on screen, a stance she recently explained in a conversation with Gillian Anderson for The Dirty Magazine.

Kareena was upfront about her reasons. “I’ve never felt the need to do it,” she said. For her, intimacy doesn’t have to be shown explicitly to tell a compelling story. “I don’t think it’s necessary to push a narrative forward,” she added, making it clear that such scenes have never been part of her creative comfort zone. Unlike many in the industry, she’s never seen them as essential to her craft.
