Neena Gupta, who has been delivering one outstanding performance after the other for a couple of years now, has bagged yet another well-written role. The talented actress has just joined the cast of filmmaker Vikas Bahl’s next directorial Goodbye, which recently started rolling in Mumbai.


Gupta has been roped in to play the character of legendary actor Amitabh Bachchan’s wife. This is the first time that she will be seen opposite him. The film also stars south-sensation Rashmika Mandanna in a pivotal role.

Brimming with excitement, Neena Gupta shares, “When Vikas narrated the film to me, I was so happy. It is a wonderful script and one does not think about anything else when the script is this exciting. Even the role is beautifully written and I am very excited to be sharing the screen space with Mr. Bachchan. It is a dream come true for me and I am quite ecstatic about it.”

Amitabh Bachchan had heaped praises on Gupta after watching her terrific performance in the 2018 film Badhaai Ho. The megastar had praised her performance by sending her a hand-written note.

Apart from Goodbye, Neena Gupta has some more exciting projects in her kitty. She will be seen in Kabir Khan’s sports drama ’83, Rensil D'Silva’s Dial 100, and Kaashvie Nair’s Sardar Ka Grandson.

Directed by Vikas Bahl, Goodbye is a joint venture between Balaji Motion Pictures and Reliance Entertainment. The film is expected to arrive in cinemas in 2022. The makers are yet to lock a release date.

Chris Columbus says Donald Trump’s cameo in Home Alone 2 feels like a mistake that won’t go away

More than three decades after Home Alone 2: Lost in New York hit cinemas, director Chris Columbus is still dealing with the fallout of a seven-second scene that’s aged badly in his eyes. In a recent chat with the San Francisco Chronicle, Columbus opened up about how he regrets including Donald Trump’s blink-and-miss-it appearance in the holiday sequel. “It’s become a curse,” he admitted. “An albatross.”

The cameo in question features Macaulay Culkin’s Kevin McCallister walking into the Plaza Hotel and asking Trump who owned the hotel at the time for directions. That brief exchange has become one of the most talked-about moments from the film, but not for the reasons Columbus would’ve hoped.

Backstreet Boys’ Nick Carter faces fourth rape allegation in new lawsuit over alleged STD transmission

Nick Carter, once a teen heartthrob and now a longstanding member of the Backstreet Boys, is again under legal and public scrutiny as a fourth woman steps forward with serious accusations. Laura Penly, now in her late thirties, has filed a lawsuit alleging that Carter assaulted her twice in 2005 and exposed her to sexually transmitted infections, including HPV, an infection she claims led to cervical cancer.

Penly says she first met Carter in 2004 when she was 19 and visited him occasionally in Los Angeles. According to her, the two had consensual sex early on, but things escalated when she made it clear she didn’t want to continue. In her lawsuit, she alleges that Carter ignored her refusal and raped her, refusing to use protection. She also claims he later apologised, only to assault her again on a second visit.

Ellen Pompeo says leaving Grey’s Anatomy makes ‘no sense’ as show tops 1 billion streams

After two decades of playing Dr. Meredith Grey, Ellen Pompeo is still not ready to fully shut the hospital doors behind her. Despite cutting back on screen time in recent seasons, the 55-year-old actor has made it clear she won’t completely sever ties with Grey’s Anatomy. Why? In her words, it just wouldn’t add up; not emotionally, and definitely not financially.

In an interview with a Spanish newspaper, Pompeo said she feels a strong sense of fairness and ownership toward the show. She’s been its face since day one, and with Grey’s Anatomy racking up over a billion streams in 2024 alone, she doesn’t see why she should step away while others continue to profit from the legacy she helped build. “Why would I walk away completely, when the studio and streamers still make money off my work?” she said. “It doesn’t make sense.”

BLACKPINK Jennie’s Coachella 2025 performance goes viral for all the wrong reasons

When Jennie from BLACKPINK hit the Coachella stage on Sunday, fans expected a show-stopping performance. Instead, they were left confused and disappointed. After weeks of hype around her solo album Ruby and her evolution as an artist outside the group, the performance didn't deliver the energy or polish many had hoped for.

Jennie performed at the Outdoor Theatre, stepping out in dazzling outfits and kicking off her set with confidence. Visually, everything was in place; her cowboy-inspired look and later a red leather ensemble were definite crowd-pleasers. But once the music started, the cracks began to show.
