Anushka Sharma starrer NH10 is surely one of the best films of the actress. She just didn’t star in the film but also produced it. It was her first production venture.
NH10 completes five years of the release today and Anushka posted on Instagram, “The decision to produce NH10 was very instinctive for me. It appealed to my core of doing something different and entertaining audiences with disruptive content. I was 25, I had no knowledge of producing films and I didn’t know what I was getting into but I knew that I had to do it. My brother @kans26 and I have built CSF brick by brick and we have together dreamt of contributing to the changing content landscape of our country. We have miles to go and lots to achieve but we are proud of the disruptive content we have managed to create so far. We tried to make the stereotyped non-mainstream cinema, mainstream and I feel validated today. I’m proud of what Clean Slate Films has achieved so far and it all started with this one ... #5YearsOfNH10 @officialcsfilms.”
NH10 was a thriller directed by Navdeep Singh and Anushka’s performance in the film was appreciated a lot.
Currently, Anushka has no films that are officially announced. But reportedly, the actress will be seen in the biopic on cricketer Jhulan Goswami. The actress was last seen on the big screen in 2018 release Zero.
Sidharth Malhotra and Kiara Advani became parents to a baby girl on 15 July 2025.
The couple shared the news via a joint Instagram post, writing: “Our hearts are full and our world forever changed.”
The baby was born at Reliance Hospital, Mumbai, via normal delivery; both mother and baby are doing well.
Fans, friends, and Bollywood celebrities poured in love, calling them “parents to a real-life Shershaah heroine.”
Bollywood actors Sidharth Malhotra and Kiara Advani have welcomed their first child, a baby girl, marking a new chapter in their relationship. The couple, who tied the knot in a private ceremony in Rajasthan in February 2023, made the announcement via Instagram on Wednesday morning, sharing their joy with a heartwarming post.
“Our hearts are full and our world forever changed. We are blessed with a baby girl,” read the note, which was signed off by both Sidharth and Kiara. Decorated in soft pink with hearts and stars, the announcement carried folded hands and evil eye emojis, symbolising gratitude and protection.

Fans react to baby girl news with Shershaah references
As soon as the announcement went live, social media was flooded with celebratory messages. One recurring theme among fan comments was the nostalgic nod to the couple’s 2021 film Shershaah, where Sidharth played Captain Vikram Batra and Kiara essayed the role of Dimple Cheema.
“It feels like the Shershaah family is complete,” wrote one user. Another added, “All Student of the Year kids are now girl parents!” as a reference to Alia Bhatt and Varun Dhawan, Sidharth’s co-stars from his debut film, who both recently became parents to daughters.
Inside the journey: From wedding to baby girl in two years
Kiara and Sidharth’s relationship reportedly began during the filming of Shershaah, but they kept their romance private until their wedding. The couple’s social media presence has been minimal, especially since announcing their pregnancy on 28 February 2025, with a simple photo of baby socks and the caption: “The greatest gift of our lives. Coming soon.”
Kiara made a notable appearance at Cannes shortly after, where she was seen confidently flaunting her baby bump. Since then, both stars maintained a low public profile, choosing to spend the final months of pregnancy in privacy.
Following the baby’s arrival, many from the film industry extended their congratulations. Casting directors Shanoo Sharma and Mukesh Chhabra, designer Manish Malhotra, actors Sunil Grover and Huma Qureshi, and stylist Tanya Ghavri were among the first to comment. Athiya Shetty also posted a heartfelt message.
With this, Sidharth joins Alia Bhatt and Varun Dhawan as yet another Student of the Year alum to enter parenthood, with playful comments from fans calling them the “SOTY girl dad squad.”

What’s next for the couple professionally
Despite embracing parenthood, both Kiara and Sidharth have a busy year ahead. Kiara will be seen in War 2, alongside Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR, directed by Ayan Mukerji and set for release on 14 August. Sidharth will star opposite Janhvi Kapoor in Param Sundari, which hits theatres on 10 October.
Their growing family and upcoming film projects keep them firmly in the public eye, something their fans are clearly happy about.

ENGLISH schools will teach children how to combat misogyny, the UK government announced on Tuesday (15), as sexist content promoted by so-called manosphere influencers such as Andrew Tate spreads online.
Children between 11 and 18 years old will receive lessons to make them aware of "involuntary celibate" or "incel" culture, and links between pornography and misogyny, the Department for Education said.
Secondary schools will also teach greater awareness of AI deepfakes under the new guidance as the government warned that misogynistic attitudes had reached an "epidemic scale" among young people.
Hit Netflix drama Adolescencehighlighted the problem earlier this year when it sparked widespread debate about the toxic and misogynistic influences young boys are exposed to on the internet.
"I want our children to be equipped to defy the malign forces that exist online," education secretary Bridget Phillipson said in a statement announcing the new teaching guidelines.
"Schools and parents alike have a vital role to play, helping children identify positive role models and resist the manipulation too often used online to groom impressionable young minds."
Phillipson's department published data showing that 54 per cent of pupils aged 11 to 19 had witnessed comments they would describe as misogynistic in the past week.
The education ministry said the new lessons would focus on helping boys find positive role models and challenge myths about relationships spread online "without stigmatising boys for being boys".
Adolescence, released in March, centres on a 13-year-old boy who stabs a girl to death after being radicalised on the internet.
It spotlighted the "incel" culture of males who feel physically unattractive and harbour a hatred of women.
Prime minister Keir Starmer praised the drama and said it would be shown in secondary schools.
His Labour party pledged to halve the rate of violence against women and girls in 10 years during last year's general election campaign.
Schools will be able to implement the new guidance from September this year, and must follow it from September 2026.

Owen Cooper makes Emmy history with ‘Adolescence’ nomination at just 15
Adolescence star Owen Cooper becomes the youngest-ever nominee for Supporting Actor at the Emmys.
The 15-year-old is nominated for his role as Jamie Miller, a teen murder suspect in the Netflix drama.
The series has bagged 13 nominations, including Best Limited Series, Best Actor (Stephen Graham), and Best Writing.
Cooper competes against his co-star Ashley Walters; actresses Erin Doherty and Christine Tremarco are also nominated.
British teenager Owen Cooper has created a major moment in Emmy Awards history, earning a nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Limited or Anthology Series or TV Movie for his role in Netflix’s hit series Adolescence. At just 15 years old, Cooper is now the youngest male actor ever to be nominated in the category, and if he wins, he will be the youngest male acting Emmy winner of all time.
The dark four-part limited series, released in March 2025, struck a chord globally with its unflinching look at violence, masculinity, and online radicalisation. Cooper plays Jamie Miller, a 13-year-old boy accused of murdering a classmate. The performance has drawn widespread acclaim, with critics praising the young actor’s emotional range and delivery.

Adolescence on Netflix becomes a critical and awards season heavyweight
Since its premiere, Adolescence has become Netflix’s second most-watched show globally, behind only Wednesday, racking up over 540 million viewing hours. It also holds the distinction of being the most-watched UK series on the platform.
Filmed in four continuous single-take episodes, the show follows Jamie's arrest and interrogation in chilling detail. Stephen Graham, who plays Jamie’s father Eddie, also received an Emmy nomination for Best Actor. Ashley Walters, as the lead detective, earned a supporting actor nod, while Christine Tremarco and Erin Doherty were recognised in the supporting actress category. Creator Jack Thorne received a Best Writing nomination, while the show is in contention for Best Limited Series.
Owen Cooper's rise: from breakout role to Emmy contender
For Cooper, Adolescence was not just his breakout role but also his first screen acting job. Speaking in an interview, the teenager admitted that the scale of the show’s impact is “still sinking in.” During the filming of Wuthering Heights earlier this year, in which he plays young Heathcliff, his castmates, including Jacob Elordi and Margot Robbie, teased him about his newfound stardom. “They were sick of seeing me on TV,” he joked.
Cooper’s third episode in Adolescence, where Jamie is psychologically assessed, has been singled out for its intensity. His unscripted line “Look at me now!” during an emotional confrontation with Erin Doherty’s character was improvised, a moment that underlines how naturally he inhabits the role.
A powerful performance that sparked wider conversations
Beyond the accolades, Adolescence has generated conversations around the influence of the online “manosphere” on teenage boys. Jamie’s character is depicted as vulnerable to digital spaces that amplify rage and misogyny. “He could have been more protected,” Cooper said, reflecting on his character’s descent. “He’s speaking to the wrong people online, which his family obviously has no idea about.”
The show’s impact has gone beyond viewership numbers. It has prompted real-world discussions about parental vigilance, mental health, and the dangers of online radicalisation among youth, themes that make Cooper’s nomination even more significant.
Despite the whirlwind year, Cooper remains grounded. He says school has been “perfectly fine” and that his friends treat him the same. “They just know me for me,” he said. With his Emmy nomination setting a new record, Cooper now embarks on what is likely to be an intense awards season. Yet, he seems focused more on the work than the buzz.

“I’d hope and wish that I’d be doing this for the rest of my life,” he said. While he humbly shrugs off comparisons to Robert De Niro, made by his co-star Stephen Graham, it’s clear that Owen Cooper is not just a passing phenomenon but a rising talent to watch.
