Bhumi Pednekar is ready to begin a new phase in her acting career with a courtroom drama after taking a long break from public life and films. Last year, the actor spoke openly about stepping away from acting for nearly nine months after facing heavy trolling online following The Royals. During that time, she stayed away from movies, award functions, fashion events and even returned signing amounts for projects she did not want to continue. The break helped her focus on herself and rethink the kind of work she wanted to do in the future.

Now, Bhumi has reportedly signed a new film where she will play the role of a lawyer. Interestingly, she had earlier played a lawyer in the film Bala, which also focused on social issues and beauty standards. According to reports, this upcoming untitled film is a courtroom drama and will be shot mainly in Himachal Pradesh.

To prepare for the role, Bhumi is said to have taken guidance from her sister Samiksha Pednekar, who is a lawyer in real life. The story is expected to focus on a father daughter relationship, with many important scenes taking place inside a courtroom. A veteran actor will reportedly play Bhumi’s father, who is also shown as a lawyer in the film.

The movie will be directed by Arif Sheikh, known for editing films like Pathaan, War and Fighter. This will be his second film as a director after Let’s Dance. Bhumi was last seen in Mere Husband Ki Biwi.

The trailer of Chand Mera Dil has finally been released, giving audiences a closer look at the romantic drama backed by Karan Johar. Directed by Vivek Soni, the film marks the first on screen pairing of Ananya Panday and Lakshya. The story revolves around two engineering students, Chandni and Aarav, whose lives change after they fall deeply in love during their college days. However, their relationship takes an emotional turn after an unexpected incident creates distance between them.

The 2 minute 54 second trailer focuses strongly on the emotional connection between the lead characters. It opens with light hearted college moments and slowly shifts towards heartbreak and emotional conflict. Ananya Panday appears in soft pastel looks throughout the trailer, while Lakshya is shown in a more emotional and vulnerable role compared to his previous performances.

The film’s trailer carries the caption, “A love story that’s not perfect, not planned, just a little real,” which reflects the overall theme of the story. Rather than presenting a perfect romance, the film explores how young couples deal with love, misunderstandings, separation, and emotional struggles while trying to balance life around them.

Many viewers have also compared the emotional tone of the trailer to Saiyaara because of its intense romantic scenes and heartbreaking moments. The trailer leaves audiences wondering whether Chandni and Aarav’s story will end happily or take a tragic turn after the incident that separates them.

Before the trailer release, the makers had already created buzz around the film through songs like Aitbaar and Khasiyat. The movie features music by Sachin Jigar and lyrics by Amitabh Bhattacharya.

Chand Mera Dil is produced by Dharma Productions in association with Adar Poonawalla and Apoorva Mehta. The film is scheduled to release in theatres on May 22, 2026.

Punjabi superstar Diljit Dosanjh has finally reacted to the controversy surrounding his Aura 2026 concert after videos from the event went viral on social media. The singer and actor addressed the issue through his Instagram story and made it clear that he only acted against people who were disturbing the atmosphere at the concert.

Diljit explained in simple words that he has no problem with fans bringing flags or banners to show where they come from or to express their support. However, he strongly objected to people who were creating trouble outside and inside the venue. In his Instagram story written in Punjabi, Diljit said that some people were abusing his fans outside the concert and later tried to create the same disturbance inside the venue as well. He added that he would not tolerate such behavior at his shows.

The singer also clarified that he never objected to any particular flag or banner and requested people not to spread false stories online. According to Diljit, the situation was only about maintaining peace and ensuring that genuine fans could enjoy the concert without disruption. He also revealed that he had stayed silent on the matter since last year but decided it was finally time to speak up. Ending his note on a calm tone, he wrote, “Love & Peace.”

The controversy started after a video from the Aura 2026 concert surfaced online in which Diljit was heard saying, “Jitne jhande dikhane dikhao.” Reports claimed that a section of people at the event were protesting against the singer. While the exact reason behind the protest remains unclear, some reports suggested that a few individuals were unhappy with Diljit for appearing on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon recently while not visiting Punjab during the flood situation.

On the professional front, Diljit is now preparing for his upcoming film Main Vaapas Aaunga directed by Imtiaz Ali. The film also stars Sharvari and Vaidang Raina in key roles. Produced by Applause Entertainment and Window Seat Films, the movie is set to release in cinemas on June 12, 2026. The film will also bring back the popular music trio of A. R. Rahman, Irshad Kamil, and Imtiaz Ali, known for delivering some of Bollywood’s most loved soundtracks.

Soha Ali Khan recently gave fans a fun and honest look into her family life during a chat with Yuvaa. The actor spoke openly about the different roles her family members play in her daily life and her comments about brother Saif Ali Khan and sister in law Kareena Kapoor quickly grabbed everyone’s attention online.

Talking about relationship advice, Soha shared that she often turns to her brother Saif whenever she needs a male perspective. She explained that most of her close friends are women now, so she values hearing a man’s point of view when it comes to relationships. According to Soha, Saif does not blindly support her husband Kunal Kemmu, but instead tries to understand situations from a balanced perspective. Fans loved the honesty in her answer and praised the strong sibling bond between the two.

However, the biggest talking point from the interview was Soha’s funny description of Kareena Kapoor. She revealed that Kareena somehow knows random and surprising details about almost everyone. Soha joked that Kareena does not exactly gossip, but she always has “irrelevant information” that nobody expects her to know.

She laughingly added that Kareena must be part of some very special WhatsApp groups that she herself would love to join someday. The statement quickly went viral on social media, with fans calling it the most relatable description of Kareena ever.
Soha also shared lighter moments from her home life. When asked about fashion advice, she said her daughter Inaaya has become her personal style guide. She also joked that her husband Kunal Kemmu continues giving fashion suggestions even when she does not ask for them.
