Shah Rukh Khan's Humorous Reply to Shashi Tharoor's Wishes

Shah Rukh Khan responds humorously to Shashi Tharoor&rsquo;s congratulatory post, sparking a vocabulary lesson with words like "magniloquent" and "sesquipedalian" after winning the National Award for "Jawan".

Wordsmith-politician Shashi Tharoor chose to keep it simple in his congratulations to Shah Rukh Khan for his National Award win but not the superstar who went the whole hog in his response and had his X readers reaching out for the dictionary.
The tables were turned as it were.
"A National Treasure wins a National Award. Congratulations @iamsrk," Tharoor wrote on X in response to Shah Rukh bagging the National Award for his 2023 film "Jawan".
&nbsp;

&nbsp;
&nbsp;
"Thank you for the simple praise Mr Tharoor... would not have understood something more magniloquent and sesquipedalian...ha ha," the superstar wrote back early Monday, tongue firmly in cheek as he added some words to our lexicon.

&nbsp;
&nbsp;
The Oxford dictionary defines magniloquent as 'using high-flown or bombastic language' and sesquipedalian as 'of many syllables'.
Tharoor's comments often leave even those well-versed with English scratching their heads. Today, was clearly Shah Rukh's turn.
He has been on a thanking spree ever since the announcement of his first National Award on Friday. He shares the award with Vikrant Massey for "12th Fail".
When wife Gauri congratulated her favourites -- Rani Mukerji, Karan Johar and Shah Rukh -- for winning the National Film Awards, Shah Rukh replied, "Please brag about me to me when we sit for dinner tonight... thanks for producing the film." Mukerji got the award for her performance in "Mrs Chatterjee vs Norway". Karan Johar's "Rocky and Rani Kii Prem Kahani" was adjudged the best popular film providing wholesome entertainment.
To his co-star and friend of decades, Juhi Chawla, Shah Rukh simply wrote, "Thank you @iam_juhi... I have learned from the best. You have been an integral part of my journey. Big hugs!!" To his friend Viveck Vaswani, Shah Rukh said, "All started with you. Raju finally ban gaya gentleman." To his "Jawan" direct Atlee, he replied," MAAASS, MAASSS MAASSS... Thank you for your vision. Only you could do this... In the next song, we will do more steps. Love u." The 59-year-old actor had shared his joy on Instagram with a video on Friday after winning the National Film Award.
"Namashkar and Adab. Needless to say I am overwhelmed with gratitude, pride and humility. To be honoured with the National Award is a moment I will cherish for a lifetime." he thanked the jury, the chairman, and INB ministry as well as his fans who celebrate him.
He also thanked the directors he has worked with since 2023, mentioning Atlee and personally thanking him.
Shah Rukh will next feature in "King" directed by Siddharth Anand.

Dhanush expresses strong disapproval of the AI-edited ending in Raanjhanaa re-release, calling it a threat to cinematic integrity.

Dhanush Criticizes AI-Modified Ending of 'Raanjhanaa'

Dhanush expresses strong disapproval of the AI-edited ending in Raanjhanaa re-release, calling it a threat to cinematic integrity.

Tamil cinema star Dhanush expressed his disappointment over the altered AI ending of his Bollywood debut film "Raanjhanaa".
The film, which originally came out in 2013, was directed by Aanand L Rai and also starred Sonam Kapoor in the lead role. It was recently re-released in theatres.
But this time, the ending was altered with the help of an AI, which got mixed reactions from the audience and was also pointed out by the filmmaker.
Now, the lead actor Dhanush shared his take on the same and said it wasn't the film he committed to 12 years ago.
The 42-year-old actor shared a post on his X handle on Sunday, calling the new version of the film disturbing, adding it has "stripped the soul" of the movie.
"The re-release of 'Raanjhanaa' with an Al-altered climax has completely disturbed me. This alternate ending has stripped the film of its very soul, and the concerned parties went ahead with it despite my clear objection. This is not the film I committed to 12 years ago," he wrote in the post.
&lt;blockquote class="twitter-tweet"&gt;&lt;p lang="en" dir="ltr"&gt;For the love of cinema 🙏 &lt;a href="https://t.co/VfwxMAdfoM"&gt;pic.twitter.com/VfwxMAdfoM&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&amp;mdash; Dhanush (@dhanushkraja) &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/dhanushkraja/status/1952040800398795224?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw"&gt;August 3, 2025&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt; &lt;script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
The actor said such practices threaten the "integrity of storytelling".
"The use of Al to alter films or content is a deeply concerning precedent for both art and artists. It threatens the integrity of storytelling and the legacy of cinema. sincerely hope that stricter regulations are put in place to prevent such practices in the future," he added.
Set in Varanasi and Delhi, the story of the film follows Kundan (Dhanush), a Hindu boy who falls in love with Zoya (Kapoor), a Muslim girl, from childhood. Towards the end of the film, Kundan is shot at a rally and dies later at a hospital. In the altered version, the actor doesn't die at the end of the film.
Rai has previously slammed production and distribution company Eros for the latest version. The filmmaker said the film didn&rsquo;t need a new climax and had already achieved cult status with its original version.
Following, Eros responded to the maker claiming they have always been at the forefront of leveraging emerging technologies and he objective of the alternative ending was to enhance viewer engagement and present a fresh perspective. Complementing the original storyline and has been clearly labelled as an alternate version.
The script of "Raanjhanaa" was penned by Himanshu Sharma. The film also featured Abhay Deol, Swara Bhasker, and Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub in pivotal roles.

Veteran actor Harrison Ford says he has no plans to retire, embraces roles for older actors, and receives his first Emmy nomination for Shrinking.

Harrison Ford says 'no' to retirement

Veteran actor Harrison Ford says he has no plans to retire, embraces roles for older actors, and receives his first Emmy nomination for Shrinking.

It has been almost six decades for Hollywood star Harrison Ford in the industry, but he has no plans to retire and believes there are parts for all ages to play when it comes to acting.
The 83-year-old actor made his debut in 1966 with "Dead Heat on a Merry-Go-Round" and has numerous projects to his credit, including "Blade Runner", "The Fugitive", "Star Wars", "Indiana Jones", and "American Graffiti", among others.
Asked if he has plans to retire anytime soon, Ford simply said "No".
"No. That&rsquo;s one of the things I thought was attractive about the job of an actor, was that they need old people, too, to play old people&rsquo;s parts," he told entertainment news outlet Variety in an interview.
The actor also discussed receiving his first Emmy nomination for the performance in the drama series "Shrinking".
He has been nominated in the Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series category at the 77th Primetime Emmy Awards.
"I don&rsquo;t think there&rsquo;s anything competitive about creativity, and I don&rsquo;t understand the need to compare and contrast one person&rsquo;s work to another&rsquo;s. If you like it, you like it; if you don&rsquo;t like it, look at something else," Ford said.
"I&rsquo;m grateful, but I would have done what I did &mdash; and I&rsquo;ll do what I&rsquo;m doing &mdash; regardless of whether it&rsquo;s deemed worthy of mention or not. Because it&rsquo;s what I do. It&rsquo;s what I love doing. I love telling stories. I love pretending to be somebody else," he added.
Created by Bill Lawrence, Jason Segel, and Brett Goldstein, the first season of "Shrinking" premiered in January 2023, followed by another season in October 2024. The third season of the series is slated to release on Apple TV+ in 2026.

The &ldquo;SexyBack&rdquo; singer, who described himself as a private person, wrote he considered ending the tour when diagnosed, but wrote that he &ldquo;decided the joy that performing brings me far outweighs the fleeting stress my body was feeling. I'm so glad I kept going.&rdquo; Lyme disease is transmitted by Ixodes ticks, also known as deer ticks. It can cause flu-like conditions, neurological problems, joint paint and other symptoms. In the vast majority of cases, Lyme disease is successfully treated with antibiotics.
&ldquo;I honestly don't know what my future is onstage, but I'll always cherish this run! And all of them before! It's been the stuff of legend for me,&rdquo; Timberlake wrote.
Timberlake cancelled and postponed multiple shows throughout the tour's run, citing health issues including bronchitis and laryngitis.
Six of his US shows were postponed from October and November to February, the singer announced on Instagram. Timberlake ultimately cancelled the last show of the US leg of the tour in Ohio due to the flu in February.
Representatives for Timberlake did not immediately respond to The Associated Press' request for comment.
Timberlake pleaded guilty to driving while impaired in New York's Hamptons in 2024. As part of his plea deal, the singer gave a public safety announcement in September, urging drivers not to get behind the wheel after drinking.
The 10-time Grammy winner ended the post thanking his wife, Jessica Biel, and their two sons, Silas and Phin, saying &ldquo;nothing is more powerful than your unconditional love. You are my heart and my home. I'm on my way.&rdquo; Exactly how often Lyme disease strikes isn't clear. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention cites insurance records suggesting 476,000 people are treated for Lyme disease in the US each year.
Black-legged ticks, also called deer ticks, carry Lyme-causing bacteria.
The infection initially causes fatigue, fever and joint pain. Often -- but not always -- the first sign is a red, round bull's-eye rash.
Early antibiotic treatment is crucial, but it can be hard for people to tell if they were bitten by ticks, some as small as a pin. Untreated Lyme can cause severe arthritis and damage the heart and nervous system. Some people have lingering symptoms even after treatment.&nbsp;

Smriti Irani returns as Tulsi Virani in the Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi reboot, reviving fond memories and family drama 25 years after the iconic show's debut.

Smriti Irani Returns as Tulsi in 'Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi' Reboot

Smriti Irani returns as Tulsi Virani in the Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi reboot, reviving fond memories and family drama 25 years after the iconic show's debut.

Nostalgia is in the air with Smriti Irani's Tulsi Virani back on the small screen to unravel the Virani family saga, the "Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi" reboot promising a familiar story rooted in tradition 25 years after it sparked a daily soap trend.
The show, which began airing on Star Plus and JioHotstar on Tuesday night, is remembered for bringing families together in front of the television as they breathlessly watched the goings-on in the affluent joint family.
The first episode focuses on the 38th wedding anniversary of the main protagonists, Mihir and Tulsi. The ideal daughter-in-law is now at the helm of affairs in the Virani family mansion Shanti Niketan and the story opens with her praying to a tulsi plant and reciting the Gayatri Mantra.
The tone is set -- apparently not very different from 2000 when the Ekta Kapoor show first began airing. It went on for 1,800 more episodes right up to 2008.
Two main characters have died -- Ba and Savita Virani are now pictures on the wall and Tulsi is seen reminiscing about the days gone by and speaking to them. Several old-timers made sure to tune into the show, which created a buzz with BJP leader Smriti Irani returning to acting after a long hiatus.
"When I was a child, my mother used to watch the serial... She would watch it everyday. This time also, I watched the first episode and I liked it a lot," a young woman, then just a child, told PTI in Amethi, Irani's former constituency.
In Amethi, where Irani enjoys immense popularity both as a public figure and a performer, residents gathered in groups to watch the premiere episode together.
Many on social media also remembered fondly the time they spent as children and with their family to watch the many upheavals in the Virani family for eight years and various time leaps. Now that the show has returned with an actual time leap, nostalgia has driven them back.
"No words can describe the feeling. It&rsquo;s pure nostalgia. So many real life memories associated with &lsquo;Kyunki&rsquo;. That golden era of television is back #kyunkisaasbhikabhibahuthi #tulsiisback," wrote a fan.
A fan wrote how she used to watch the show with her maternal grandmother, who is no longer alive.
"Kyunki is back&hellip; but the one I used to watch it with isn&rsquo;t. it was me &amp; Nani. Now it&rsquo;s just me&hellip; and her memories #Nostalgic," she shared.
Actor Hiten Tejwani and Gauri Pradhan, who played a married couple on the original show, are also back as Karan and Nandini.
"Evergreen Karan and Nandini... Ahhhh... Still they look so beautiful together. Karan n Tulsi bond used to be so precious," said a viewer.
"Currently watching 'Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi' and lowkey vibing to the OG soap opera that raised a generation," wrote another social media user.
A lot has changed since "Kyunki..." released all those years ago. OTT has revolutionised the entertainment scene with the best of shows from India and abroad available to audiences at the click of a button.
It remains to be seen whether "Kyunki..." manages to grab the attention of younger and newer audiences used to slicker, more contemporary shows and bring back those who tuned in all those years ago.
The "Kyunki..." setting 25 years on remains much the same. Matriarch Tulsi is busy looking after the arrangements for a big party when Mihir surprises her by gifting a car. The show ends with a hint of fresh challenges coming Tulsi's way. There are a few concessions to today's age with references to social media and late night parties.
Will that be enough? "Kyunki..." achieved cult status in daily soaps and became a pop culture moment that was popularly referenced by Karan Johar in "Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham" where Kajol's character is excitedly discussing developments in the show with a neighbour.
Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap's popular 2012 gangster drama "Gangs of Wasseypur 1" literally opens with the show's opening montage where Tulsi is inviting viewers to the family drama as a group of people are watching the show in rapt attention but the calm and the TV set is broken by bullets.
Many past favourites "Kasauti Zindagi Ki", "Sarabhai Vs Sarabhai" and "Khichdi" made a comeback but with not much success.
The makers of "Kyunki..." hope to change that.

Amitabh Bachchan Shares Nostalgic 'Sholay' Ticket Moment

Actor Amitabh Bachchan reflects on cinema history, sharing a precious piece - a Rs 20 ticket from 'Sholay'. As the film reaches its 50th anniversary, it evokes nostalgia, illustrating a bridge between the past and present cinematic experiences.

Amitabh Bachchan shared a Rs 20 'Sholay' ticket, reflecting on movie prices and the film's impact. 'Sholay,' celebrating its 50th anniversary, remains an iconic film in Indian cinema, loved for its compelling storyline and memorable performances.

The legendary actor Amitabh Bachchan has taken a nostalgic trip, sharing a cherished memento from yesteryears: an original ticket from the iconic film "Sholay," priced at merely Rs 20. Released in 1975, this blockbuster will soon celebrate its 50th anniversary on August 15.
Amitabh, a prominent figure in Indian cinema, shared several images on his personal blog on Monday morning. Among these was the prized "Sholay" ticket. Reflecting on the contrast between past and present, the actor remarked on how movie tickets once equaled the cost of today's aerated drinks in cinema halls.
"The 'SHOLAY' ticket was kept and preserved at Rs 20! I am told that is the price of an aerated drink in theatre halls nowadays. Is that a fact? So much to say, but say not. Affection and love," Amitabh wrote, highlighting the sentimentality attached to the preserved artifact.
Directed by Ramesh Sippy, "Sholay" became the highest-grossing film in India in its release year. It featured Amitabh Bachchan and Dharmendra in the lead roles of Jai and Veeru, former convicts hired by a retired policeman to capture the notorious dacoit terrorizing the village of Ramgarh.
The stellar cast also included Amjad Khan, Sanjeev Kumar, Hema Malini, and Jaya Bachchan. This cinematic masterpiece remains etched in the hearts of audiences.

John Abraham appeals to the Supreme Court, urging reconsideration of street dog removal in Delhi NCR, promoting ABC Rules for humane dog management.

John Abraham Advocates for Delhi Dogs

Actor John Abraham urges reconsideration of the Supreme Court's order to remove street dogs in Delhi NCR, advocating for sterilization, vaccination, and humane treatment through the ABC Rules, focusing on safety and compassion.

Actor John Abraham appeals to the Supreme Court against the removal of street dogs in Delhi NCR, advocating for the ABC Rules, 2023, emphasizing sterilization and vaccination over removal, suggesting a humane approach balancing safety and compassion.

Actor John Abraham on Tuesday wrote a letter to Chief Justice B R Gavai, urging a review and modification of the recent Supreme Court directive ordering removal of street dogs from the Delhi NCR region.
The letter came a day after the Supreme Court directed the authorities to permanently relocate all strays from streets to shelters "at the earliest".
The 52-year-old, who was named the first honorary director of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) India, said dogs are not strays but rather part of the community and loved by many.
"I hope you will agree that these are not 'strays' but community dogs - respected and loved by many, and very much Delhiites in their own right, having lived in the region as neighbours to humans for generations," Abraham said.
The actor stated that the directive is in conflict with the Animal Birth Control (ABC) Rules, 2023, and the apex court's past judgements on the issue which have consistently "upheld a methodical sterilisation programme".
"The ABC Rules prohibit the displacement of dogs, instead mandating their sterilisation, vaccination, and return to the very areas they inhabit. Where the ABC programme is implemented earnestly, it works," he said, giving the example of cities like Jaipur and Lucknow.
He added, "Delhi can achieve the same. During sterilisation, dogs are vaccinated against rabies, and sterilisation results in calmer animals, fewer fights and bites, as they have no puppies to protect. Because community dogs are territorial, they also deter unsterilised, unvaccinated dogs from entering their areas." According to the actor, removing street dogs from public spaces doesn't guarantee a solution to the issue.
"Delhi has an estimated 10 lakh dogs. It is neither practical nor humane to shelter or relocate them all, and removal only opens the door for unfamiliar, unsterilised, and unvaccinated dogs to move in&mdash;leading to greater competition, territorial disputes, and public health risks.
"I respectfully request a review and modification of this judgment in favour of the lawful, humane, and effective ABC approach, which safeguards public health while honouring the constitutional values of compassion and coexistence, a stand the Supreme Court has consistently upheld since 2015." On Monday, the supreme court directed all the strays to be removed and put in shelters by the Delhi government and civic bodies of Gurugram, Noida and Ghaziabad.
A bench of Justices J B Pardiwala and R Mahadevan noted that there was an "extremely grim" situation due to stray dog bites resulting in rabies, particularly among children.
The court has directed Delhi authorities to start with creating shelters for around 5,000 canines within six to eight weeks.

Rana Daggubati, among other actors, is under ED investigation for potential links to illegal online betting through celebrity endorsements, under the PMLA.

Rana Daggubati Faces ED in Online Betting Probe

Rana Daggubati and other actors like Vijay Deverakonda are being probed by the ED for alleged ties to illegal online betting endorsements and potential money laundering activities.

Rana Daggubati, Prakash Raj, Vijay Deverakonda, and others are under ED investigation for alleged endorsements of illegal online betting platforms connected to money laundering.

Actor Rana Daggubati on Monday appeared before the Enforcement Directorate (ED) here in connection with a money laundering case involving illegal online betting and gambling by certain platforms.
The federal agency has issued summons to four actors--Prakash Raj, Vijay Deverakonda, Rana Daggubati and Lakshmi Manchu-- last month, asking them to appear on different dates at the agency's zonal office here for questioning in the case.
Raj and Deverakonda earlier appeared. The actors had "endorsed" online betting apps allegedly involved in generating "illicit" funds, according to official sources.
During their appearance, the agency is expected to record the statements of the actors under the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).
The ED had taken cognisance of as many as five state police FIRs to register its case against these actors and a number of other celebrities and social media influencers.
These individuals are suspected to have "endorsed" online betting apps for a celebrity or endorsement fee, ED sources said.
These platforms are alleged to have generated "illicit" funds through illegal betting and gambling, worth crores of rupees, they said.
Deverakonda, had recently said that he did an endorsement for a gaming app, adding that gaming apps are completely legal and recognised by the government, licensed as a business.
