The Ba***ds of Bollywood: Shah Rukh Khan Asks Son Aryan, "Baap Ka Raj Hai?" His Reply

Shah Rukh Khan was joined by wife Gauri and daughter Suhana at Aryan Khan's directorial debut show launch event in Mumbai last night. Dressed in a black shirt and pants, Shah Rukh Khan looked every bit the boss. At the grand event of Netflix, the makers dropped an intriguing teaser of the show titled, The Ba***ds of Bollywood.

In the teaser, Shah Rukh Khan can be seen giving takes after takes for one line while Aryan Khan directs him from behind the camera. Much to the fans' amusement, Shah Rukh Khan can't clear a single take and eventually loses his temper.

Khan then shots back in his inimitable style, "Shut up... one more one more... Tere baap ka raj hai kya (Does your father own this business)? Aryan Khan cheekily responds, "Yes."

Take a look at the teaser here:

If there's a Shah Rukh Khan at an event, can witty lines be far behind? Shah Rukh Khan revealed that Aryan told him repeatedly not to divulge any details of the show.

"Sab show dikhayenge, hum tumhe dikhayenge (Everyone will showcase their upcoming shows, we will show you). I am ghar ki murgi dal barabar for Gauri and Aryan," Shah Rukh Khan added.

At the event, Shah Rukh Khan shared an anecdote from Suhana and Aryan's growing up years. "The environment where Suhana and Aryan grew up, they used to see Adi (Aditya Chopra), Hrithik (Roshan), Karan (Johar) at our house all the time. They used to wonder, "Sab kya TV pe kaam karte hai (Does everyone work in TV?)," said Shah Rukh Khan.

Shah Rukh Khan shared the actors, who worked in Aryan's show, love him and collaborated with him for the sheer love for him.

Shah Rukh Khan also requested fans and media to shower Aryan and Suhana with love and blessings. 

"Guzaarish aur bahut dil se main chaahunga ki mere bete jo apna pehla kadam rakh rahe hai direction mein, mere beti jo actress ban rahi hai, un sabko bhi 50 percent pyaar bhi agar ye duniya dede jitna mujhe diya hai toh bahut zyada hoga (I sincerely request that my son, taking his first step into direction, and my daughter, becoming an actress, receive even 50% of the love the world has given me -it would be more than enough)."

Produced by Gauri Khan, the series is co-created by Bilal Siddiqi and Manav Chauhan, who also share writing credits with Aryan.

Nothing Phone 3a Teased to Come With a Camera Button for Quick Snapshots

Nothing Phone 3a series is scheduled to be launched on March 4. Ahead of its anticipated debut, the British original equipment manufacturer (OEM) has shared a teaser of one of the purported phones which hints towards the inclusion of a new button. It is speculated to be a quick shutter that activates the camera, similar to the Camera Control button on the iPhone 16 models. Notably, the base Nothing Phone 3a is tipped to be accompanied by a Pro variant as part of the Phone 3a series, with the latter marking a first for the company.

Camera Button on the Nothing Phone 3a Series

In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Nothing shared a teaser which provides a glimpse of the phone's side profile. A new button appears to be placed beneath the power button. While the company is yet to reveal more information, it is widely speculated to be for the camera. If Nothing follows the same path as other OEMs, then a single press of the button may activate the camera while pressing it again would snap a photo.

However, fans also speculate that it may have other functionality altogether. One of the theories suggest it could be an alert slider, similar to the one found on devices made by Carl Pei's former company, OnePlus. Meanwhile, the company is also planning to bet big on artificial intelligence (AI) this year and it may be a button for invoking the Nothing Phone 3a's voice assistant.

Other speculation hints towards it being a multi-purpose toggle for several actions, comparable to the iPhone's action button which can be set to perform different functions such as putting the phone on silent mode, activating the flashlight, changing the focus mode, and opening the camera.

However, this is based purely on speculation and its purpose is expected to be revealed in the days leading up to the launch of the Nothing Phone 3a series, which is scheduled for March 4.

Grammys 2025: Indian-Origin Chandrika Tandon Wins Big, Beats Ricky Kej And Anoushka Shankar

The 67th Annual Grammy Awards took place on Sunday at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. Indian-American vocalist Chandrika Tandon won the Grammy Award for Best New Age, Ambient or Chant Album for her album Triveni, beating out competitors like Ricky Kej and Anoushka Shankar. 

Chandrika shared the honour with her collaborators - South African flautist Wouter Kellerman and Japanese cellist Eru Matsumoto. Other nominees in the same category included Break of Dawn by Ricky Kej, Opus by Ryuichi Sakamoto, Chapter II: How Dark It Is Before Dawn by Anoushka Shankar, and Warriors of Light by Radhika Vekaria.

The Consulate General of India in New York congratulated Chandrika via their official X (formerly Twitter) account, stating, "Congratulations to Ms Chandrika Tandon @chandrikatandon on winning the Grammy Award @RecordingAcad in the Best New Age, Ambient, or Chant Album category for Triveni! A mesmerizing fusion of ancient mantras, flute, and cello, Triveni bridges cultures and traditions through the universal language of music."

This year's Grammys were also notable for other events, such as Kanye West and his wife Bianca Censori being escorted out by police. Additionally, Hollywood star Will Smith made his first televised awards show appearance since the infamous 2022 slap incident at the Academy Awards. He opened the tribute to Quincy Jones, introducing Herbie Hancock on piano and later welcoming Cynthia Erivo, who performed Fly Me to the Moon.

Grammys 2025: Kanye West-Bianca Censori Escorted After Shocking Red Carpet Appearance

Kanye West and wife Bianca Censori were escorted out of the 2025 Grammys after making their shocking red carpet debut, as per a Page Six report.

The report claimed that the couple wanted to "replicate the album cover of Vultures."

West's 2024 Vultures 1 album cover featured Censori, with her back to the camera, with thigh-high boots and a tiny piece of fabric covering her behind.

The couple almost recreated the same pose while doing the step-and-repeat at Sunday's show before exiting the event.

West and Censori, who wed in 2022, were later pictured leaving Crypto.com Arena and getting into a silver chrome car.

Multiple outlets report that the duo were invited to the show, as West was nominated for best rap song.

The Heartless rapper was hoping to take home his 25th gold-plated gramophone for his collaboration with Ty Dolla $ign, Carnival.

However, the award went to Kendrick Lamar's smash Drake diss track Not Like Us.

Despite the abrupt end to their night, West, 47, and Censori, 30, went all out for their red carpet debut. 

The former architect wore a completely see-through dress with clear heels and no jewelry.

The mini dress, seemingly crafted from sheer stockings, left very little to the imagination, as Censori decided to ditch her undergarments.

She paired the look with an oversized black fur coat, which she immediately discarded while clicking pictures.

Meanwhile, West wore all black but added a touch of bling with a sparkling pendant necklace and diamond grills.

Kanye West had last attended the Grammys in 2015.

Deva Box Office Collection Day 2: Shahid Kapoor And Pooja Hegde's Film Crosses Rs 10 Crore Mark

Shahid Kapoor and Pooja Hegde's Deva released on Friday (January 31). Its daily earnings have been notably lower compared to Shahid's previous film, Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya

On Saturday, Deva earned just slightly more than Akshay Kumar and Veer Pahariya's Sky Force, which is already in its second week, with a collection of Rs 5 crore. However, there was a slight improvement in its day-two earnings compared to its opening day.

On Saturday, the action thriller earned an India nett collection of Rs 6.42 crore, marking a 16.73% increase from its first day's Rs 5.5 crore. This brought the film's total domestic earnings to Rs 11.92 crore, according to Sacnilk. 

Although Deva's first two-day collection is better than Shahid's Jersey (Rs 3.1 crore and Rs 4.1 crore), it significantly lags behind his other recent films, including the superhit Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya (Rs 6.7 crore and Rs 9.65 crore) and Kabir Singh (Rs 20.21 crore and Rs 22.71 crore). It also falls short of Batti Gul Meter Chalu (Rs 6.76 crore and Rs 7.96 crore), which eventually failed at the box office.

On Saturday, Deva, directed by Rosshan Andrrews, saw a modest overall occupancy rate of just 13.07% in the Hindi market. The film's morning shows had a low occupancy rate of 5.84%, but the figures improved as the day progressed. By the afternoon, occupancy increased to 11.28%, further rising to 14.20% in the evening and peaking at 20.96% during the night screenings.

With music by Vishal Mishra, original background score by Jakes Bejoy, and cinematography by Amit Roy, the film also stars Pooja Hegde, Pavail Gulati, Pravesh Rana, and Kubbra Sait in pivotal roles.

Zoe Saldana Reacts To Emilia Perez Co-Star Karla Sofia Gascon's Controversial Posts: "Don't Have Any Tolerance..."

Actor Karla Sofia Gascon, known for her role in the Oscar-nominated film Emilia Perez, has deactivated her X account (formerly Twitter) after her controversial posts from 2020 and 2021 resurfaced on social media, sparking backlash.

Reacting to this, her Emilia Perez co-star Zoe Saldana expressed her deep sadness and disappointment over the recent revelation of Karla's past bigoted tweets.

During a Q&A session in London on Friday, she shared her reaction, describing the situation as "really sad." When asked about the issue, she explained that she was still processing everything that had unfolded in recent days. "I'm still processing everything that has transpired in the last couple of days, and I'm sad," Zoe said.

The event, where the actress made her remarks, was originally set to feature Karla, who ultimately did not attend. 

Saldana continued, "It makes me really sad because I don't support [it], and I don't have any tolerance for any negative rhetoric towards people of any group."

The actress also took a moment to reflect on her personal experience working on the film. "I can only attest to the experience that I had with each and every individual that was a part, that is a part, of this film," she explained. "My experience and my interactions with them was about inclusivity and collaboration and racial, cultural and gender equity. And it just saddens me," she added.

Among the tweets that resurfaced, Karla criticised the diversity of the 2021 Oscars ceremony. "More and more the #Oscars are looking like a ceremony for independent and protest films. I didn't know if I was watching an Afro-Korean festival, a Black Lives Matter demonstration, or the 8M. Apart from that, an ugly, ugly gala," she wrote on X.

Additionally, she made derogatory remarks about George Floyd, calling him a "drug addict swindler" after his death at the hands of a police officer in 2020, which sparked protests across the United States.
