Varun Dhawan reveals that Salman Khan told him “Proud of you, beta” after watching Border 2; also reveals, “Both Sunny Deol and my wife tell me ki zyada bolo mat!”

Sunny Deol, Varun Dhawan, Ahan Shetty, Mona Singh, Anya Singh, Medha Rana, Anya Singh, Bhushan Kumar, Nidhi Dutta, Anurag Singh and others were at a press event for their movie Border 2 at a fancy hotel in Mumbai. It was one of the best events of the year because the actors gave great quotes, made the press laugh and also touched their hearts by sharing heartfelt stories. Varun Dhawan was heavily criticized before the film came out, but all the negative comments stopped once people realized he had given one of his best performances. He talked about it for the first time and also said that superstar Salman Khan supported him.

Varun said, “The people who stand by you in tough times are really important.

 One of them is Salman bhai. He called me late at night. He was laughing about what was happening and then said, ‘Good things are about to come!’ His words and belief meant a lot to me. When Border 2 came out and did really well, he called me again. He said, ‘I’m really happy for all of you.’ Then he said something that stays with me. It was 2 am and when he told me that, I was literally standing on my bed! He said, ‘I’m proud of you, beta!’ That was a really special moment for me because he doesn’t praise people easily.”

Varun continued, “He didn’t have to do that, but he gave me a lot of confidence.

 In the end, I believed in the film and Lord Krishna.”

A journalist asked Varun about his wife Natasha Dalal’s reaction.

 He replied, “My wife watched the film and was very happy. She told me, ‘I always knew you had it in you. You just have to challenge yourself.’ She also said, ‘Don’t post too much. Don’t show too much. Don’t talk too much. She also says don’t talk too much at home. She says she talks too much outside too (smiles). Sunny sir and his wife are saying the same thing (laughs).”

Nora Fatehi creates history as the only Indian actor to perform at both FIFA and Cricket World Cup ceremonies

Nora Fatehi has made a special achievement in the world of entertainment by becoming the only Indian actor to perform at both a FIFA World Cup event and a Cricket World Cup ceremony. This makes her part of a small group of artists who have performed at two of the biggest sporting events in the world.  

Her first big global sports event was the FIFA World Cup 2022.

 She performed at the closing ceremony as part of the official anthem "Light The Sky." She sang and danced in front of millions of people around the world. She also sang in Hindi, bringing a touch of Indian culture to the event. Her performance was a big moment for India on one of the most watched sporting events globally.

Later, she performed at the opening ceremony of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 in Mumbai.

 She took the stage before the tournament began and gave a powerful performance, showing her confidence in performing in front of large crowds and on global television.

In addition to sports events, Nora has been gaining more attention in the world of entertainment.

 She appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, where she performed her song "Just A Girl (What Do I Know)" with Jamaican singer Shenseea. This made her music known to American audiences.

She has also performed at big music festivals like UNTOLD Dubai, where she entertained a diverse international crowd.

 These performances, across sports events and entertainment shows, show that she is expanding her reach beyond movies and music videos.

From the biggest football tournament to the global cricket stage, Nora Fatehi’s performances show how Indian artists are becoming more visible on the world’s biggest platforms.

 Her journey across these events highlights the growing presence of Indian entertainers on some of the most important stages in the world.

Salman Khan’s close associate receives threat email linked to Lawrence Bishnoi gang: Report

A few hours after actor Ranveer Singh received a threatening WhatsApp voice message asking for a large sum of money, a close friend of Salman Khan has now got a similar threat via email.

 The message is said to be from someone connected to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, who is currently in jail.

Threat email demands crores  

According to IANS, a threatening email was sent to a close associate of Salman Khan, who is an actor in the film industry.

 The message reportedly asked for a huge amount of money and mentioned being linked to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang.

Sources in Mumbai Police say the Crime Branch has started an investigation into the matter.

 Officials are tracking the mobile locations of suspects near the homes of several celebrities and have increased security in sensitive areas.

So far, no official police complaint has been filed by Salman Khan or the person who received the email.

Ranveer Singh also targeted  

On Tuesday, February 10, Ranveer Singh reportedly got a WhatsApp voice message that threatened him and asked for a large sum of money.

 After the threat, Mumbai Police increased security around the actor's home and started searching for the sender.

Police believe that members of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang might be behind this extortion attempt.

 Ranveer Singh was last seen in the movie Dhurandhar.

Background: Salman Khan and the Bishnoi gang  

The tension between Salman Khan and the Bishnoi gang started in 1998, during the shooting of Hum Saath Saath Hain.

 The actor was reportedly on a hunting trip and killed a blackbuck, which is considered sacred by the Bishnoi community.

Lawrence Bishnoi, who is currently in jail, had publicly said that his life's mission was to either get Salman Khan to apologize for the incident or kill him.

The latest threat comes after another major security incident.

 On February 1, gunshots were fired at filmmaker Rohit Shetty's home in Juhu, Mumbai. The Lawrence Bishnoi gang later claimed responsibility for the attack through a social media post.

The Mumbai Crime Branch has started a formal investigation into the recent threats.

 With several incidents involving famous film personalities happening in a short time, police have increased their surveillance and security in the city.

Authorities have not yet confirmed if the same people or gang are connected to both the Ranveer Singh and Salman Khan associate threats.

 The investigation is still ongoing.

Mumbai court restrains CarryMinati from posting defamatory content against Karan Johar

A court in Mumbai has stopped YouTuber Ajey Nagar, who is known as CarryMinati, along with his talent manager Deepak Char and others, from sharing any harmful or false content about filmmaker Karan Johar on social media. This order was given on February 9 by Principal Sessions Judge P.G. Bhonsale in a case titled Karan Johar v. Ajey Nagar & Ors. The case was started by Karan Johar through Apoorva Mehta, who is the CEO of Dharma Productions, the company that Karan Johar owns.

Allegations of harmful and rude content

In his request, Karan Johar said that social media influencers had made harmful comments about him in videos they posted on YouTube.
"The comments are so rude and harmful that they need to be removed right away," his request said. The lawyer for CarryMinati argued before the court that the videos in question had already been taken down and that there was no real reason for Karan Johar to go to court.

But Karan Johar disagreed with this, saying that even though the original videos were deleted, they had already been seen by "millions of people."
"Unknown people are making clips of it and sharing it again on social media," Karan Johar said.

The court gave a temporary stop order

After listening to both sides, the court noted that it seemed like CarryMinati and Deepak Char had made harmful comments and used very rude language against Karan Johar.


"These videos need to be removed immediately.
There should be a stop order against everyone who shares or re-shares these videos on social media platforms. This is a suitable case to give a temporary stop order against the defendants," the court said.

The court then gave an order that temporarily stops content creators and others, including unnamed people called John Doe, from posting or sharing any more harmful content about Karan Johar until the filmmaker's request for temporary relief is fully reviewed.


Additionally, the court told Meta Platforms to remove the video links that Karan Johar had pointed out in the case.
The case will now go forward as the court considers Karan Johar's request for temporary relief.

Mardaani 3 Box Office: Has good hold on second weekend, crosses Mardaani lifetime in just 10 days

 Mardaani 3 did well during its second weekend, with more than Rs. 10 crores coming in. After its first weekend was lower than that of Mardaani 2, it looked like the film might only last a few days and maybe run for just two weeks. But then, each weekday brought in more than Rs. 2 crores, which gave new hope about how well the second weekend would do.

Friday brought in Rs. 2.15 crores, which was better than Thursday's Rs. 2 crores.

 Saturday saw a big jump, reaching Rs. 3.85 crores, and Sunday also did well, collecting Rs. 4.55 crores. This is great because the film, starring Rani Mukherji, is now at Rs. 37.10 crores, which was once thought to be its highest total.

Along the way, the film has also crossed the lifetime total of Mardaani, which was Rs. 35.82 crores, in just 10 days.

 Mardaani came out 12 years ago in 2014, and a lot has changed in terms of how films are released and ticket prices. But from a credibility point of view, this is still impressive. The next target is Mardaani 2's lifetime total of Rs. 47.57 crores, which the film is expected to surpass eventually.
