Veteran Bollywood actress Farida Jalal has shared her candid thoughts on Aryan Khan’s directorial debut series The Ba**ds of Bollywood, offering a balanced mix of critique and encouragement for Shah Rukh Khan’s son as he carves his own path in the industry.

In a recent interview with Zoom, Farida revealed that she watched the seven-episode Netflix series, which marked Aryan’s first major project as a director. Giving an honest assessment, she said, “It was okay. He could have done it better, but it was good.” Her remarks reflect a measured response — acknowledging Aryan’s effort while also suggesting there is room for growth as he evolves in his new creative role.

Despite her critique, Farida warmly welcomed Aryan into the film fraternity, calling the industry his natural home. “Welcome home! He belongs here. Where else will he go?” she said, expressing optimism about his future in Bollywood. Coming from a senior artist who has witnessed multiple generations of star kids enter the business, the statement carries both affection and acceptance.

Unlike his sister Suhana Khan, who chose to follow their father’s acting legacy, Aryan Khan opted to explore filmmaking from behind the camera. The Ba**ds of Bollywood* tells the story of Aasmaan Singh, played by Lakshya Lalwani, a struggling actor navigating the unpredictable, high-pressure world of the Hindi film industry. The series blends ambition, rivalry, glamour, and survival — offering a fictionalized look at Bollywood’s inner workings.

The show boasts an ensemble cast featuring Bobby Deol, Raghav Juyal, Sahher Bambba, Anya Singh, Manoj Pahwa, Manish Chaudhari, Rajat Bedi, Meherzan Mazda, Divik Sharma, Mona Singh, Gautami Kapoor, Vijayant Kohli, Neville Bharucha, and Armaan Khera. Produced by Gauri Khan under Red Chillies Entertainment, the Netflix series premiered in September 2025 and received largely positive responses from audiences and critics, particularly for its fresh perspective and bold tone.

Meanwhile, Farida Jalal herself is gearing up for a striking on-screen transformation in Vishal Bhardwaj’s upcoming action-thriller O’Romeo. The recently released teaser showcased her in an unexpected, fierce avatar, leaving audiences intrigued. The film stars Shahid Kapoor, Triptii Dimri, Nana Patekar, Avinash Tiwary, Vikrant Massey, Tamannaah Bhatia, and Disha Patani in pivotal roles and is slated for a theatrical release on February 13, 2026.

With Aryan Khan stepping confidently into direction and Farida Jalal continuing to surprise with bold roles, both generations appear ready to shape Bollywood’s evolving creative landscape.

Stephen King is no stranger to frightening audiences, but according to the legendary author, nothing he has written compares to his view of Donald Trump. In a blunt remark that quickly grabbed attention, King stated that Trump is “worse than any horror story I’ve ever written,” reigniting conversation around the author’s long standing criticism of the former president.

Known for creating some of the most iconic horror characters and worlds in modern literature, King’s words carried extra weight coming from someone whose career is built on fear and psychological tension. For many readers and fans, the comment felt like a continuation of King’s outspoken stance on politics, particularly when it comes to Trump and his impact on society.

The author has often used his platform to share political opinions, especially on social media, and this statement was no exception. By comparing Trump to the monsters and villains of his fiction, King framed his criticism in a way that felt both pointed and on brand. Rather than relying on policy arguments, he leaned into metaphor, suggesting that the real world, at times, can feel more unsettling than anything imagined on the page.

The reaction online was predictably divided. Supporters praised King for speaking his mind and using his voice as a cultural figure, while critics accused him of crossing a line by blending art, politics, and personal opinion so openly. Still, the comment spread quickly, resonating with those who see Trump as a disruptive and polarising force.

Whether one agrees with him or not, Stephen King’s statement underscores how deeply politics continues to intersect with pop culture. When a master of horror says reality feels scarier than fiction, it’s a reminder that for many public figures, the lines between storytelling and the real world have never felt more blurred.

Popular television actress Sumbul Touqeer recently marked a new milestone in her creative journey with the grand launch of her much-awaited music video, “Aaj Sach Bolungi.” The special event, held on January 22 at Luft – The Air in Andheri, was filled with warmth, celebration, and heartfelt emotions as Sumbul unveiled a project that is deeply personal to her.

The evening kicked off with a stylish red carpet moment where Sumbul, accompanied by her family, greeted the media and posed for photographs. Dressed elegantly and glowing with pride, the actress interacted with journalists, sharing insights into the making of the song and the emotional connection she shares with it. Following the media interaction, the official premiere of the music video took place, earning enthusiastic applause from friends, colleagues, and members of the entertainment industry present at the event.

What makes “Aaj Sach Bolungi” stand out is its strong family involvement. The song has been produced under Sumbul’s own production banner, STK Spark Production, marking her first step as a producer. Vocals for the track are lent by Sumbul herself alongside her sister Saniya Touqeer, making it a beautiful sibling collaboration. The heartfelt lyrics have been written by Touqeer Khan, Sumbul’s father, adding another emotional layer to the project. The music video has been directed by Samarpan Lama, who has brought the song’s narrative to life with striking visuals and powerful storytelling.

Speaking about the project during the launch, Sumbul shared how meaningful the experience has been for her. She expressed that working with her family on this song made it incredibly special and emotionally fulfilling. Singing alongside her sister and giving voice to her father’s words turned the project into more than just a professional venture — it became a shared family dream.

“This song is extremely close to my heart because my entire family is part of it. Singing with my sister and bringing my father’s lyrics to life makes it very special. ‘Aaj Sach Bolungi’ is not just a song, it is a feeling. I hope audiences connect with its emotions and understand the story we are trying to tell,” she said.

Sumbul also added that beginning her production journey with such a meaningful and personal project feels like a blessing and a proud moment in her career.

With genuine emotion, family collaboration, and a powerful message at its core, “Aaj Sach Bolungi” has already struck a chord — and fans are eager to see what Sumbul creates next.

The latest Korean drama Can This Love Be Translated starring Kim Seon Ho and Go Youn Jung has quickly gained global popularity for its emotional storytelling and striking visuals. However, the series is now making headlines for an unexpected reason — Indian viewers have noticed a scene that appears strikingly similar to a memorable moment from Shah Rukh Khan’s Bollywood film Fan.

In the drama, Go Youn Jung plays Cha Mu Hee, a talented actress on the rise. In the opening episode, Mu Hee is filming the final sequence of a horror movie when a tragic accident occurs. She loses her balance on a rooftop set and falls off the building. As she plunges downward, the night sky suddenly bursts into bright fireworks. The sequence ends with Mu Hee lying on the ground, staring up at the dazzling sky before the screen fades to black, leaving viewers stunned. The accident ultimately puts her in a coma for several months, setting the emotional tone for the series.

While international fans praised the dramatic cinematography of the scene, Indian audiences were quick to draw comparisons to the climax of Shah Rukh Khan’s 2016 film Fan. In that movie, SRK’s character is also shown falling from a tall building while fireworks explode in the sky, creating a visually identical moment that has now sparked debate online.

New Netflix K- Drama Series #CanThisLoveBeTranslated Released Recently Have Reference of #Fan Ending Scene.

Social media users wasted no time sharing their observations. One fan posted, “The new Netflix K-drama #CanThisLoveBeTranslated has a reference to the #Fan ending scene. Almost an exact copy.” Another commented, “Scene-to-scene copy.” Some users even added broader commentary, pointing out that several of Shah Rukh Khan’s films such as Fan, Zero, Dunki, and Swades have found stronger appreciation overseas than in India.

The debate has ignited discussions on originality, inspiration, and cinematic influence across industries. While no official statement has been made by the makers of the K-drama, the viral comparison has only increased curiosity around the show.

Directed by Yoo Young Eun, Can This Love Be Translated explores the relationship between a multilingual interpreter and a celebrated actress navigating love, ambition, and personal struggle. Alongside Kim Seon Ho and Go Youn Jung, the series also features Sota Fukushi, Choi Woo Sung, and Lee Yi Dam in prominent roles.

Meanwhile, Shah Rukh Khan is preparing for his next big-screen outing King, directed by Siddharth Anand. The film stars Suhana Khan, Abhishek Bachchan, and Deepika Padukone in lead roles, with Anil Kapoor, Jackie Shroff, Arshad Warsi, and Rani Mukherji in supporting parts. King is set for a theatrical release on December 25, 2026.

Whether coincidence or creative inspiration, the viral comparison has once again proven Shah Rukh Khan’s global influence — now reaching even the world of K-dramas.

Guess is infusing the American Dream with a chic Italian sensibility. The Los Angeles based fashion giant’s Spring/Summer collection celebrates stateside staples—including wide-leg Bellflower Pants and a contouring bandage dress.

But the campaign’s new face and photography team are a thoroughly Italian affair, starring fashion influencer-turned-entrepreneur Chiara Ferragni and Milanese duo the Morelli Brothers. The siblings—who’ve previously captured campaigns for Dolce & Gabbana and Roberto Cavalli as well as striking red-carpet shots of Kylie Jenner and Hailey Bieber—employed a combination of vividly colored images (seen here) and forthcoming black-and-white photos with the goal of capturing Ferragni’s brand and personality

“A symbol of innovation, self-expression, and digital influence, Ferragni embodies a bold new chapter for Guess, one that bridges the brand’s iconic heritage with the spontaneity and vibrancy of today’s social language,” the brand said in a statement. “This campaign celebrates the dynamic evolution of the Guess brand identity: glamorous yet genuine, aspirational yet authentic, with Ferragni representing the many facets of the contemporary Guess woman.”

There’s no denying that this is part of a major rebrand for Ferragni. The social media superstar was just acquitted of fraud charges by a Milan court that were brought following her Christmas cake collaboration with Balocco. Prosecutors argued that her marketing led consumers to believe their purchase directly funded bone cancer research, when in reality, Balocco had made a fixed donation of just under $60,000 months before the campaign even started. Ferragni earned over $1.1 million from the deal, but because she’d already paid almost $4 million in fines and donations to children’s charities in the wake of the scandal, the complaint was withdrawn and the case was dismissed.

Short of a head-on address of the scandal, Ferragni didn’t shy away from the controversy in her statement about the Guess collection.

“This project was much more than a campaign: it came in a moment when I felt the need to start again, to tell my story as who I am today, a more aware and serene person,” she said. “Working with an iconic brand like Guess, which has made fashion history, made me feel welcomed and free to express all my facets. A heartfelt and well-deserved thank you goes to Paul Marciano, Guess co-founder, for the support and trust he showed me at a delicate moment of my life. The experience on set was special, and I will always carry it with me.”

Ferragni is the latest model to join a legendary roster of Guess beauties that have included Claudia Schiffer, Anna Nicole Smith, Laetita Casta, Gigi Hadid and yes, the ubiquitous Sydney Sweeney.

“We’re thrilled to have Chiara Ferragni as the face of our new campaign,” added Paul Marciano, Co-founder and Chief Creative Officer of Guess. “Her energy, authenticity, and unmistakable style perfectly embody the Guess woman and the spirit of our Spring/Summer 2026 collection, confident looks that are versatile, refined, and unmistakably contemporary.”

The Guess Spring/Summer 2026 campaign will launch globally in February 2026—the collection is available now.
