Have you heard? Beginning 2024 with a bang


A new year often beckons new beginnings and such is the case for Bollywood’s esteemed actor-producer Aamir Khan, who is looking forward to an eventful start to 2024. While fans eagerly anticipate his return to the silver screen, Aamir’s immediate attention is devoted to a significant personal celebration—the wedding of his daughter Ira Khan to her fiancé Nupur Shikhare, slated for January 3rd.

According to close sources, the ceremony will be held at the opulent Taj Lands End in Bandra, where the family plans to honor their traditions in a Maharashtrian-style wedding. True to his reputation for perfectionism, Aamir has been closely involved with the meticulous planning of the event, ensuring that even the smallest of details is handled with care.

In a heartwarming gesture, the doting father has also personally been reaching out to friends and colleagues, inviting them to partake in the festivities and extend their blessings to the young couple. The excitement doesn’t end with the nuptials, as two extravagant receptions are set to take place in Jaipur and Delhi, respectively, from January 6th to 10th. These receptions are a thoughtful arrangement, considering some of Aamir’s esteemed friends from within and beyond Bollywood may not be able to make it back in time for the initial wedding ceremony and can instead join the subsequent celebrations.

Actor Nushrratt Bharuccha recently found humor in a less-than-ideal travel experience. While passing through an airport security check, she was asked to remove her lace-up boots, which later proved to be a challenge to re-fasten. Sharing her struggle in a social media video, she humorously declared a future without lace-up boots, contemplating the option of going barefoot to avoid the ordeal.

The entertainment community recently gathered in a different somber setting, as figures from the film and political world visited the Desiya Murpokku Dravida Kazhagam (DMDK) office to pay their respects to the late south actor-politician Vijayakanth. An unfortunate disturbance occurred when a stray chappal was thrown at actor Thalapathy Vijay. Fortunately, the object missed him, but the incident left a lasting impact and prompted Vijay to maintain a dignified silence.

In brighter news, the ever-daring actress Kajol has been experimenting with AI technology, exploring new looks inspired by the series “Hannibal.” Delighting her followers with AI-generated images on social media, Kajol hinted at a possible interest in villainous roles, sparking a wave of excitement for what could be an intriguing new direction for the actress.

In the realm of personal relationships, actor Gulshan Devaiah and his ex-wife Kallirroi Tzeferakou have decided to give their partnership another chance. Despite an earlier divorce, the couple has seen a rekindling of their connection over the past year, approaching their relationship with newfound maturity and a constructive mindset.

Adding to the mix of personal updates, actor Vedang Raina, co-star of Khushi Kapoor in Zoya Akhtar’s “The Archies,” addressed speculation surrounding their off-screen relationship. Firmly stating they are not dating, he shared that their bond was formed over common interests such as music, leaving open the prospect of a potential romance in the future.

On a professional note, as 2023 drew to a close, Salman Khan began preparations for a new cinematic venture titled “The Bull,” produced by Karan Johar and directed by Vishnuvardhan. This marks a reunion for Salman and Johar 25 years after the iconic film “Kuch Kuch Hota Hai.” The team commenced the film with an inaugural mahurat, and Salman is set to play a paramilitary officer, with shooting expected to start around mid-February.

Looking forward, the year 2024 kicks off not just with a wedding but promises an exciting array of projects and personal developments in the lives of some of Bollywood’s prominent personalities, reflecting the industry’s continuous evolution and the interconnectedness of its members’ personal and professional lives.
