There’s something undeniably timeless about the mermaid gown — a silhouette that hugs the body till the knees and then flares out dramatically, much like a mermaid’s tail. Elegant, sensual, and perfectly sculpted, this style has long been a red-carpet favourite across the globe, and now Bollywood’s leading ladies are giving it their own spin.

Be it structured metallics, pastel drapes, or high-shine sequins, these stars are redefining glamour and making the mermaid gown the statement look of the season.

The post From Kiara Advani to Akansha Ranjan Kapoor: Actresses who are acing the mermaid gown trend appeared first on Bollywood Hungama.

A Dazzling First Impression: The Intro
Ananya Panday has mastered the art of balancing youthful charm with bold sophistication, and her recent look is yet another testament to her evolving fashion journey. The actor stepped out in a stunning strapless dress that blended structure, shine, and contemporary artistry. The outfit, rich with multicoloured reflective square embellishments, created a mosaic effect that instantly captured attention. Whether under soft indoor lighting or bright flashes, the dress shimmered beautifully—making it a statement piece that demands appreciation.
The Outfit: A Modern Mosaic Fantasy
Ananya Panday’s dress is a lesson in creative fashion construction. The strapless neckline highlights her poised elegance, while the fitted bodice accentuates her frame without overpowering the intricate design. The mosaic-like detailing—glittering squares in golds, greens, and blacks—adds incredible texture and depth, giving the outfit a futuristic yet glamorous vibe. The lower part of the dress features sheer panels, offering a subtle peek-through effect that keeps the look edgy without losing its class. Falling naturally and gracefully, the skirt creates beautiful movement while maintaining the dress’s sculptural appeal. It’s the perfect blend of red-carpet sophistication and modern experimental couture.

Makeup: Soft, Glossy, and Glow-Laden
Ananya Panday opted for makeup that beautifully balanced the boldness of her outfit. Her glowing skin forms the base of the look, with soft peach undertones that add freshness. The eyeliner is clean and slightly winged, enhancing her eyes without overshadowing the ensemble’s shine. A glossy nude lip completes the look, infusing a natural radiance that feels effortless and youthful. The makeup direction ensures that her features remain defined while the outfit takes centre stage.

Hair: Sleek and Styled to Perfection
Her hairstyle brings polished simplicity to the entire ensemble. Ananya Panday opted for a sleek, slicked-back ponytail, keeping her hair smooth and away from her face. This not only highlights the strapless neckline but also complements the symmetry and structure of the mosaic design. The hairstyle enhances the overall elegance while adding a refined touch of sophistication.

A Stunning Blend of Art and Style
Ananya Panday’s latest appearance effortlessly merges artistic fashion with chic minimalism. From the meticulously detailed dress to her glowing makeup and sleek hair, every element works together to create an impeccably balanced, modern, and glamorous look. It’s another standout moment from an actor who continues to redefine contemporary celebrity style with confidence and creativity.

Bigg Boss 19 Weekend Ka Vaar: Viewers of Bigg Boss are accustomed to Salman Khan standing up for contestants, cautioning them, or pulling them up. However, this weekend, the host suddenly attacked Amaal Mallik. Salman publicly announced that he would be giving Amaal a “class” even outside the show, turning what had begun as a straightforward task within the house into an unexpected occasion for the audience.
Why Salman Khan targeted Amaal?
The housemates were asked to choose the individual they thought would act like a sore loser if they didn’t win during Weekend Ka Vaar. Pranit More took Amaal Mallik’s name while the majority pointed to Shehbaz Badesha.
What did Pranit More say?
Pranit explained his choice by saying, “So many times, even before the weekend, he comes and says that Salman sir will take me and Shehbaz’s class. And he says it so often, as if he takes pride in it that’s how it feels to me. If he’s saying this while being here, then I feel that even outside, somewhere or the other, he still won’t accept it.”
Salman’s sharp reply towards Amaal
What came next has now generated a lot of internet attention. In response, Salman made a harsh remark about Amaal. He said, “Jitni class yahan pe li hai vo kaafi li hai, lekin class toh yeh jab ghar se bahar niklega tab li jaayegi, 1000%. Aur class lene ke alag alag tareeke hain. Ek toh samjhao, ek daanto aur ek kuch mat karo, ignore karo. Isse badi class kuch nahi ho sakti. Indifferent raho, samjhe aap?”
BB19 fans were shocked after…
Social media went crazy with the “ignore karo” phrase, especially since BB fans have frequently said that Salman is more forgiving of Amaal than other contestants. That narrative was entirely turned upside down at this point.

Filmmaker Shoojit Sircar’s highly acclaimed I Want To Talk completed a year yesterday. The film was based on the true story of Arjun Sen, a cancer survivor. His character was played by Abhishek Bachchan, who received a lot of accolades for his performance. Sircar got talking about the film in an interview with us.

Shoojit, your masterpiece I Want To Talk has completed one year?
Yeah, after one year of I Want To Talk, I hope that whoever has watched this film is touched by its message of resilience. I really hope it inspires some survivors, some cancer survivors who can really embrace this film and watch this film.
It is really inspiring
I’ve shown it to many of my medical and doctor friends, and they do feel that this definitely can up the ante, you know, motivate some of the patients who are going through this ordeal. So my only grouse is …
Yes?
People have watched it since last one year since its released. But still it’s not enough. I really would want that as days go by, you know, as years go by, people slowly can catch this film to see how simple things, how simple relationships can change your life, can make Arjun Sen from a ruthless marketing guy to a little bit more sensible, possibly more considerate human being.
The film has taken Abhishek Bachchan to another level
I am really grateful to Abhishek that he did this character. How beautifully he performed taking Arjun Sen from that ruthless marketing MBA. And then from there, understanding his daughter and relationships and going back and seeing what mistakes that he has made. I think all of that is a learning experience.
How has it changed your life?
I Want To Talk is a pure learning experience for me. And I hope people, whenever they can catch it and watch it, derive similar inspiration from the film.

Shah Rukh Khan recently paid a heartfelt tribute to all the victims of the 26/11 Mumbai attacks, the Pahalgam terror attack, as well as the recent Delhi blasts, at the Global Peace Honours 2025. During the event in Mumbai, he also urged the audience to take meaningful initiatives towards maintaining peace. In a video shared by ANI, Shah Rukh Khan can be seen saying, “My humble tribute to the innocent people who lost their lives in the 26/11 terrorist attack, the Pahalgam terrorist attack, and the recent Delhi blasts, and my respectful salute to our brave security personnel who were martyred in these attacks (sic).”
Shah Rukh Khan poem
The actor then says he has been asked to recite 4 beautiful lines, and he says, “When someone asks you what you do, say with pride that I protect the country. If someone asks you how much you earn, smile slightly and say, I earn the blessings of 1.4 billion people. And if they turn around and ask you again, aren’t you ever afraid? Look them in the eye and say, “Those who attack us feel it (sic).”
Shah Rukh Khan speech
Shah Rukh also urges the people to take a step towards forgetting our differences and maintaining peace. He said, “Let us forget the caste, creed, and discrimination around us and walk the path of humanity so that the martyrdom of our heroes for the peace of our country is not in vain (sic).”
Shah Rukh Khan’s fans comment
A fan took to the comment section of the post to applaud the speech, saying, “Only Shah Rukh Khan can turn a stage into a message of unity, grace, compassion, and patriotism delivered with absolute dignity, & that’s why he’s called the King of Indian cinema (sic).”
Global Peace Honours 2025
Vikrant Massey hosted the Global Peace Honours 2025. The ceremony features performances from multiple actors like Tiger Shroff, along with Ranveer Singh, Farhan Akhtar, and other big names in the industry.

During Weekend Ka Vaar in Bigg Boss 19, Salman Khan addressed Ashnoor’s noticeable shift in behaviour after her father’s visit. When asked how she has changed, Farrhana immediately appreciated the transformation, calling her more confident and praising her “stronger personality.” But Tanya disagreed, saying Ashnoor has become “aggravated,” adding, “Unka real aur fake samajh nahi aata, chidhti hai.”
Salman Questions Ashnoor’s Sudden Change After Tanya Calls Her Agitated
Salman sided with Tanya, questioning Ashnoor, “Itne hafte kyun lage aapko reaction dene mein?” He further remarked that had this version of Ashnoor been visible earlier, no one would have said that Pranit made a mistake by saving her, a sharp yet impactful moment that left the house in reflective silence.
Salman Khan Calls Out Amaal For ‘Bullying’ Malti
In a sharp Weekend Ka Vaar moment, Salman Khan addressed the house dynamics around Malti, calling out how she has often been dismissed or not taken seriously by the boys. He pointed out that Amaal and Pranit’s behaviour towards her has repeatedly crossed the line into rudeness, leaving Malti unheard in many situations inside the house.
In the second paragraph, the confrontation intensified when Salman directly told Amaal, “Tumhara behaviour Malti ke saath bahut rude aur bad raha hai.” He highlighted that he frequently “bully” her, reminding Amaal that Malti’s reactions come only after persistent provocation. Wrapping the segment, Salman praised Malti’s composure, saying she has consistently shown maturity despite the behaviour directed at her.
Salman Khan Schools Amaal For Backfoot Play
Weekend Ka Vaar turned fiery when Salman Khan directly called out Amaal for constantly playing from the back foot, avoiding direct conflict, and choosing neutrality when it benefits him. Salman pointed out that instead of addressing issues head-on, Amaal often walks away, stays silent, or conveniently distances himself — especially in moments that require accountability.
He also highlighted how Amaal spoke about Gaurav Khanna behind his back, yet never confronted him directly until pushed, exposing a clear mismatch between words and actions. Salman further questioned Amaal’s pattern of only taking panga with people, “Jinse aapko pata hai ki jawab wapas nahi aayega.”
In the housemates’ reactions that followed, the point only strengthened. Pranit questioned why Amaal always talks behind people’s backs instead of saying things upfront. Farrhana doubled down, calling him dogla and accusing him of covering up his own statements. Gaurav added that while Amaal may be trying to “change,” he repeatedly crosses the line with Malti, showing a different face depending on who he’s dealing with.
Together, the segment became one of the season’s strongest reality checks for Amaal — putting a spotlight on his selective confrontations and backfoot gameplay like never before.

Predator: Badlands North America Box Office ( Photo Credit – Instagram )
Predator: Badlands, the seventh installment in the Predator franchise, which premiered in theaters on November 7, 2025, is now in its third week of release. Boasting an 85% Rotten Tomatoes critics’ score and a solid 7.5/10 IMDb rating, Dan Trachtenberg’s latest sci-fi action film has garnered rave reviews from both critics and audiences. On the box office front, it has earned $141.9 million globally, of which $71.7 million has come from North America and the remaining $70.2 million from international markets.
As of now, Badlands ranks among the top 25 highest-grossing titles of 2025 in North America, trailing just behind Tron: Ares’s $73 million domestic earnings, which it is expected to overtake in the next few days, as per Box Office Mojo. After outgrossing several of this year’s popular films, including The Accountant 2 ($65.5 million) and 28 Years Later ($70.4 million) in North America, the sci-fi actioner has also surpassed the domestic total of Leonardo DiCaprio’s acclaimed action thriller One Battle After Another. Let’s take a look at how these two films compare at the box office.
Predator: Badlands vs. One Battle After Another – Box Office Comparison
Here’s how the two films compare at the box office, according to Box Office Mojo data:
Predator: Badlands – Box Office Summary

North America: $71.7 million
International: $70.2 million
Worldwide: $141.9 million

One Battle After Another – Box Office Summary

North America: $70.3 million
International: $130.9 million
Worldwide: $201.2 million

Based on the above numbers, the latest Predator installment is currently leading the Paul Thomas Anderson-directed film by around $1.4 million at the domestic box office, a margin that is likely to widen as Badlands continues its theatrical run. However, on the international front, Predator: Badlands still trails One Battle After Another by roughly $60.7 million, indicating a significant gap in overseas performance as of now.

As of now, the supernatural horror sequel Black Phone 2 holds the 20th spot among 2025’s highest-grossing films in North America with a domestic total of $75.7 million. To surpass it and break into the top 20, Predator: Badlands currently needs to earn approximately $4 million more at the domestic box office. Given its current momentum, the sci-fi action film is expected to hit this milestone in the coming days. The outcome should become clear soon.
What’s Predator: Badlands All About
The film follows Dek (Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi), a young Predator outcast from his clan, who forms an unexpected alliance with Thia (Elle Fanning), a damaged synthetic owned by the Weyland-Yutani Corporation. Together, the duo undertakes a dangerous journey across the wastelands in search of the ultimate enemy.

His immunity came at a crucial time, especially as the game inches closer to the finale. The participants up for eviction this week are Gaurav Khanna, Malti Chahar, Farrhana Bhatt, Kunickaa Sadanand, Ashnoor Kaur, Amaal Mallik, Tanya Mittal, and Pranit More.

While fans were preparing for yet another unpredictable eviction twist, a major update surfaced online. According to a report shared by X handle, BBTak, this week’s eviction is expected to be straightforward with no last-minute saves or surprises. The handle claimed that Kunickaa Sadanand has been eliminated purely based on audience votes.

FINALLY! No twist… no save! This time it was purely audience votes, Kunickaa ji has been EVICTED from Bigg Boss 19. Makers tried saving her many times earlier, but this time…nope. Well played, Kunickaa ji 👏
Wanted to see her in the Finale? Or are you happy with this…
— BBTak (@BiggBoss_Tak) November 22, 2025

The update stated that the makers did not interfere or introduce any protective twist this time, unlike earlier weeks, where some contestants were temporarily shielded. The post also mentioned that the creators had supposedly tried to protect Kunickaa in previous tasks, but this week her insufficient votes determined her outcome.
If this report turns out to be accurate, Week 13 is set to deliver one of the cleanest and most decisive exits of the season. With only two weeks left, the game is tightening rapidly, and the remaining contestants now face immense pressure.

Rachit Singh was recently seen as a Betaal in Aditya Sarpotdar’s Thamma. The film was a part of the Maddock Horror Comedy Universe. But much before making his film debut in the movie, Rachit has been working as an acting coach, who has trained quite a few actors. One of them is Shanaya Kapoor, who made her acting debut earlier this year in Santosh Singh’s Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan, in which she was cast opposite Vikrant Massey.

In an exclusive chat with Bollywood Hungama, Rachit said that the world will see Shanaya’s true talent in her upcoming projects. “You will now watch Shanaya’s actual potential,” he said. “Till now, we have only seen her in her first film. She is doing quite a few films in which she is playing different types of characters. She is a very hardworking girl.”
Rachit has also trained Aneet Padda, who hit a jackpot earlier this year with Mohit Suri’s Saiyaara. He gave her example for Shanaya saying, “Like how Saiyaara happened to Aneet. Of course, Aneet is very good but it’s also a good script and a good director, who can take that performance out of you. I think with Shanaya also (this can happen). She is doing so many different types of roles. She is working with so many directors.”
Rachit added, “I think once her films will start coming out, you will see her potential. Just fingers crossed for her because I know how hardworking and dedicated she is as an actor. I have been working with her from her first film. So, I have seen her journey and growth as an actor. I am just waiting for her films to come out and you guys to watch it and get blown away by it.”
As far as Rachit’s acting career is concerned, he will be seen next in Baby Do Die Do, which stars Huma Qureshi in the lead. The film is also produced by her and her brother Saqib Saleem under their banner Saleem Siblings.
