The Metropolitan Magistrate Court in Andheri, Mumbai, on Monday, issued a bailable warrant against actor Kangana Ranaut in a defamation case filed against her by lyricist Javed Akhtar. The court issued the warrant after Kangana failed to appear before it even after she was summoned. It was in November 2020 that Javed had filed a complaint against Kangana, post which the actress was asked to appear before the Andheri metropolitan magistrate.

The case was registered based on a complaint made by Javed in which he had said that Kangana has given a false statement about him without any basis, which hurt his image. In his complaint, Javed had claimed that Kangana had dragged his name in TV interviews after the death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput in June last year. It also mentioned how Kangana had falsely claimed that Javed threatened her to keep silent about her alleged relationship with actor Hrithik Roshan.

Amitabh Bachchan is one of the few veteran actors who use social media to keep their fans updated about what's happening on the personal and professional front. While Big B is famous for his tweets and quirky Instagram posts, the legendary actor has also not forgotten writing for his blog which he keeps updated almost regularly. Over the weekend, Big B wrote a small message which left his fans worried. 

Big B revealed that he will soon be undergoing surgery for a medical condition but did not reveal anymore details about the same. His blog post read, "medical condition .. surgery .. can’t write." The post left his die-hard fans extremely worried. However, it is not clear if the actor will be undergoing surgery or has already undergone it. 

On Friday, reacting to reports of Bollywood actor Hrithik Roshan's summons to appear before the Mumbai crime branch on Saturday to record his statement in a case he registered against actor Kangana Ranaut in 2016 involving an exchange of emails between the two, the 'Dhaakad' star while addressing Roshan as her 'silly ex', wrote on Twitter that the 'War' actor is still stuck in the past. 

She wrote, "Duniya kahan se kahan pahunch gayi magar mera silly ex abhi bhi waheen hai usi modh pe jahan yeh waqt dobara laut ke nahi jane wala ... (The world has moved far ahead, but my silly ex is stuck at a juncture where time can never go back)."

For the uninitiated, in 2016, Roshan had filed a complaint alleging that someone impersonating him was emailing Ranaut from a bogus email id. Kangana had then claimed that the email id was provided to her by Roshan and they had been communicating through the same email id till 2014. The emails were allegedly sent in 2013 and 2014.

Bollywood star Sushmita Sen won accolades for her performance in her digital debut Aarya last year. The show recently even won numerous awards. And now, on the heels of its success, the former Miss Universe has announced the second season of the thriller.
Taking to Instagram, on Thursday Sushmita posted a photo showing her fierce eyes and captioned it, "She sees a storm coming...in the mirror!!! #Aarya #season2  “your wish is our command” I love you guys!!! Let’s do this @madhvaniram @officialrmfilms @disneyplushotstarvip #TeamAarya #duggadugga."

While there is no clarity on the launch of the new season, a source told indianexpress.com that the makers were always kicked about taking the story ahead with a new installment. "The idea was to continue Aarya's story and how she deals with newer challenges, while fighting her own family. The team had been prepping up for the new season for a long time, and it's set to go on floors soon. The show would mostly launch sometime later this year."

Kangana Ranaut has been on a roll lately as the actress has some interesting movies in the pipeline. Amid this, her movie Thalaivi has been making a lot of buzz in the town. After all, it happens to be the much awaited biopic on former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa wherein Kangana will be essaying the role of the iconic politician. The Tanu Weds Manu actress has undergone a massive prosthetic transformation for the movie and the fans are eagerly waiting to watch her charisma on the silver screen.

And looks like the wait is going to be over soon, as Kangana has made a big announcement about Thalaivi.
