Amitabh Bachchan reveals Saif Ali Khan’s family connection with him on KBC, Kareena Kapoor is the link: “Raj Kapoor’s daughter Ritu Kapoor’s son, Nikhil Nanda, is married to my daughter, Shweta Bachchan”

 The Hindi film industry is famous for its big family groups, where many well-known surnames are linked both professionally and personally.Families like the Kapoors, Bachchans, Salim Khan, Allu, Konidela, Akkineni, and Daggubati are often connected.These relationships have brought members from different film families closer.Recently, during an episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC), a connection between Amitabh Bachchan and Saif Ali Khan was revealed.

Amitabh Bachchan shared that Saif Ali Khan is connected to him through Kareena Kapoor.

He explained, "Raj Kapoor's daughter, Ritu Kapoor, has a son named Nikhil Nanda who is married to my daughter, Shweta Bachchan." This makes Kareena, who is married to Saif, a first cousin of Nikhil Nanda, linking Saif's family with the Kapoor family through marriage, and thus connecting it to the Bachchan family as well.

Saif Ali Khan and Akshay Kumar appeared on KBC to promote their new crime movie, Haiwaan, directed by Priyadarshan.

Amitabh revealed the family link during the show, surprising both Saif and Akshay.Amitabh said, "Many people don't know this, but he is related to me." Saif was taken aback and asked, "Me?" Akshay was also surprised by the news.

Amitabh then explained the connection, saying, "Raj Kapoor's daughter Ritu Kapoor's son, Nikhil Nanda, is married to my daughter, Shweta Bachchan." This makes Kareena, Saif's wife, and Nikhil Nanda first cousins.

As a result, Saif's family is linked with the Kapoor family through marriage, and thus with the Bachchan family.

Amitabh then joked, "So now, I want to know, how should I address Kareena?

What will Kareena call me?" Saif replied with a witty remark: "Thank god that's not a question (on KBC screen)," which made Amitabh and Akshay laugh.

Amitabh and Kareena have worked together in movies like Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham (2001), Dev (2004), and Satyagraha (2013).

Vijay Deverakonda, not Ram Charan, to play Lord Krishna in Telugu remake of Gujarati blockbuster Laalo – Krishna Sada Sahaayate

Hanuman Ansh is currently doing really well at the box office and has become a huge hit.It's quite interesting because last year, another religious movie called Laalo – Krishna Sada Sahaayate had a similar journey.At first, it didn't attract much attention for the first two weeks.But then it started to gain more popularity and eventually became the most successful Gujarati film ever.Despite not having big stars and being made with a small budget, it made more than 100 crores.

Recently, there were reports that a Telugu version of Laalo – Krishna Sada Sahaayate is being made, and Ram Charan was thought to be part of it.

But a source told Bollywood Hungama, "It's true that the Telugu remake of Laalo is in the works, but Ram Charan is not involved.Vijay Deverakonda has been cast as Lord Krishna."

The same source added, "Laalo – Krishna Sada Sahaayate's Telugu version will be produced by the well-known filmmaker Dil Raju.

He recently got the rights to remake the film.Vipul D Shah from Optimystix helped with this deal."

Laalo – Krishna Sada Sahaayate is about an auto-rickshaw driver who gets stuck in a lonely mansion after trying to steal something.

He is helped by a mysterious man who turns out to be Lord Krishna.The film was directed by Ankit Sakhiya and had Karan Joshi in the lead, with Shruhad Goswami playing Lord Krishna.

The movie was released during a quiet time before Diwali, on October 10, 2025.

There wasn't much awareness, so it started with very few people watching.In the first week, it made about 36 lakhs, and in the second week, about 28 lakhs.But from the third week, there was a slow increase in popularity and earnings.It made 70 lakhs in the third week, then jumped to 14 crores in the fourth week, making it unstoppable.

The film was praised for its story, how it was made, the acting, and the music.

Especially the end-credit song became very popular.People often danced in cinemas when it played, and videos of that went viral on social media, encouraging more people to watch it in theaters.

Kareena Kapoor Khan hesitates to comment on the ‘daayra’ for outfits amid ongoing Kriti Sanon Giva ad controversy; Meghna Gulzar steps in

 Kareena Kapoor Khan recently took part in the trailer launch of the movie Daayra along with director Meghna Gulzar and the team behind the film.During the event, she was asked about the ongoing controversy surrounding the Giva jewellery commercial that featured Kriti Sanon.However, Kareena seemed unsure about commenting on the issue and didn't share her thoughts on it.

The controversy started when Kriti Sanon appeared in a special Raksha Bandhan advertisement for the jewellery brand Giva, wearing an Indo-western fusion outfit with a bralette-style blouse.

The look created a lot of discussion on social media, with some people not liking the choice of clothing, while others supported Kriti and her belief that women should have freedom in their clothing choices.

As the discussion continued, reporters at the Daayra trailer launch asked Kareena for her opinion about outfit choices in a film.

But Kareena seemed a bit uncomfortable and didn't want to answer.Director Meghna Gulzar then took over and answered the question.She said, "In that film, whether it's a female or male character – the dressing depends on that."  

After the Giva ad became more controversial, the brand took it down from their online platforms.

Giva also apologized for the backlash but said they still supported the intention behind the campaign.

The issue also brought more attention to the topic of clothing choices and how women are judged based on what they wear.

Kriti faced a lot of online criticism for her look in the ad, but many social media users supported her and her views on personal choice.

Meanwhile, Kareena Kapoor Khan is preparing for Daayra, which is her first project with director Meghna Gulzar.

The film is a crime drama about two police officers with very different beliefs and values who end up working together on an investigation into a serious crime committed by juveniles.

The film's story is centered around the differences between the two officers as they try to solve the case and deal with their conflicts.

Daayra is set to be released in cinemas on September 18, 2026.

Kunal Kemmu wants to keep the friendship and adventures of the three friends going.

Madgaon Express followed childhood friends Divyenndu’s Pratik, Pratik Gandhi’s Ayush, and Avinash Tiwary’s Dhanush as their much-anticipated trip to Goa turned into a series of strange and crazy events involving drugs, criminals, and death threats.

The movie became a big hit, largely because of the chemistry between the three main characters and the funny way they showed friendship.

For the sequel, Kunal Kemmu wants to expand on the world he created instead of just repeating the same situations from the first movie.

The story will focus on the three friends again.“Kunal sees the sequel as a natural continuation of the friendship and adventures of the trio,” the source added.

Before Madgaon Express 2 starts, Kunal Kemmu will be directing a new film called Vibe.
