The much-awaited trailer of Mukesh Chhabra’s directorial venture Dil Bechara has been released. The movie features Sushant Singh Rajput and Sanjana Sanghi in the lead role. Dil Bechara will be Sushant’s last film and it will get a direct-to-digital release on Disney+ Hotstar.
Sanjana Sanghi took to Twitter to share the trailer of the film. She tweeted, “Here’s presenting to you, our labour of love. The #DilBecharaTrailer is out NOW! https://bit.ly/DilBecharaTrailer He was the one who healed her, and took away her pain by celebrating each and every little moment that mattered.”

In her second tweet, Sanjana wrote, “We miss you so much Sushant. Thank you, for your love.”

Well, it’s a beautiful trailer and it touches the right chords of our hearts. It will make you a bit emotional watching Sushant in the trailer and it looks like this one will be a memorable performance by the actor. It is surely hard to believe that Sushant is no more with us and this will be his last movie.
Talking about debutante Sanjana Sanghi, she is damn good in the trailer and looks like she will be giving a confident performance. Also, Sushant and Sanjana’s jodi is looking quite good.
The music of the film is composed by AR Rahman and it is one of the highlights of the trailer. We surely wait for the songs of the movie to be released.
Dil Bechara is a remake of the Hollywood film, The Fault In Our Stars. It will premiere on 24th July on Disney+ Hotstar.
While much of Bollywood still chases longer hours and larger deals, Saif Ali Khan is thinking about something far simpler: getting home in time to tuck his kids in.
At a recent media event in Dubai, the actor opened up about what success means to him today. It’s not about box office numbers or prestige projects. It’s about showing up for the small moments at home, especially with his young sons, Taimur and Jeh. “Coming back to find them asleep, that’s not what I want,” he admitted. “If I can catch even thirty minutes with them at the end of the day, that’s worth more than a full day on set.”

His words come just as Deepika Padukone reportedly exited Spirit, Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s upcoming thriller, allegedly over demands such as shorter shifts and a hefty fee. Deepika, who recently welcomed her first child, is said to have requested an eight-hour cap on her workday, profit-sharing, and dialogue flexibility, none of which went down well with the makers. She was later replaced by Animal star Triptii Dimri.
Though some industry voices labelled Deepika’s conditions “unreasonable,” others are starting to echo her call for change. Saif isn’t alone. Ajay Devgn recently said that any fair filmmaker should be okay with an eight-hour day, especially for working mothers.

In Saif’s case, it’s not just about parenting. It’s also about being present for his mother, veteran actor Sharmila Tagore. “I’m at that age where I need to call both my mum and my kids,” he said, adding that he doesn’t work during his children’s school breaks. “That time is sacred.”
He also pointed out that it’s the everyday things like cooking together, eating meals as a family that hold a home together. “Work will always be there,” he said. “But those moments with your kids, once they’re gone, they’re gone.”

As the industry continues to debate what counts as ‘professional’, voices like Saif’s are shifting the focus from hustle to home. Up next, he’s filming Race 4 and prepping for a biopic with Rahul Dholakia, but he’s made it clear: if it’s between a big scene and a family dinner, the latter wins.

INDIGO will begin direct flights to 10 international destinations, including London and Athens, in the current financial year, CEO Pieter Elbers said on Friday.
Other destinations include Amsterdam (the Netherlands), Manchester (the UK), Copenhagen (Denmark), Siem Reap (Cambodia) and four cities in Central Asia.
“There is an enormous opportunity in Indian aviation where rising demand is supported by infrastructure expansion,” Elbers said at a briefing in the national capital.
IndiGo will start direct flights from Mumbai to Manchester and Amsterdam using leased Boeing 787-9 aircraft in July. The services to Manchester will also mark the airline’s long-haul debut.
IndiGo, a USD 10 billion-revenue company, operates over 2,300 flights daily with a fleet of more than 430 aircraft. It flies to more than 90 domestic and 40 international destinations.
With the airline expanding international operations, Elbers said there is an enormous opportunity to build India as a great place for connecting flights, highlighting the country’s potential to become an international hub.
“Currently, Indian carriers account for 45 per cent of India’s international traffic while the remaining 55 per cent is served by overseas airlines,” Elbers said.
He added that IndiGo has the highest number of female pilots at around 15 per cent of the total pilot strength.
IndiGo will also host the 81st Annual General Meeting of the International Air Transport Association (IATA) in the national capital in June. The AGM is being held in India after 42 years.

Radiohead’s Thom Yorke condemns Netanyahu and Hamas in statement on Gaza war
Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke has spoken out about the war in Gaza for the first time, criticising both Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Hamas. In a detailed Instagram post published on Friday, Yorke also addressed the emotional toll of being pressured to comment on the conflict, which he said had impacted his mental health.
Yorke, known for keeping a low profile on political issues, said he had remained silent until now out of respect for victims of the ongoing war. However, he acknowledged that his lack of public comment had led some to interpret his silence as complicity.
“For those who need to know… let me fill in the blanks,” he wrote, explaining his previous reluctance to speak out. He described how he had struggled after an incident at a Radiohead concert in Melbourne last year, where he was heckled by a pro-Palestinian audience member urging him to condemn “the Israeli genocide in Gaza”.
“I remained in shock that my supposed silence was somehow being taken as complicity,” Yorke said. “That silence… has allowed other opportunistic groups to use intimidation and defamation to fill in the blanks, and I regret giving them this chance.”
In his statement, Yorke condemned both sides of the conflict. He referred to Netanyahu and his government as “a crew of extremists”, stating: “This ultranationalist administration has hidden itself behind a terrified and grieving people… to further their ultranationalist agenda with terrible consequences.”
Yorke has previously criticised Netanyahu. In 2017, when Radiohead performed in Tel Aviv despite calls to cancel the show from pro-Palestinian advocates, Yorke defended the band’s decision but also spoke out against the Israeli government.
Turning to Hamas, Yorke criticised the group’s actions on 7 October 2023, when it launched an unprecedented attack on Israel that killed around 1,200 people and led to over 200 hostages being taken. He questioned why more hostages have not been released and said, “Hamas chooses to hide behind the suffering of its people in an equally cynical fashion for their own purposes.”
He also criticised the tone of some Free Palestine demonstrations, writing: “The unquestioning Free Palestine refrain… does not answer the simple question of why the hostages have still not all been returned. For what possible reason?”
The statement comes amid a wider debate in the arts community over the role of artists in political discourse. Yorke’s bandmate Johnny Greenwood, who is married to an Israeli and collaborates with Israeli musician Dudu Tassa, has faced calls to boycott Israel. Greenwood and Tassa recently cancelled UK concerts due to safety concerns following backlash over their association with Israel. In a joint statement, the duo rejected “censorship” and said artists should not be punished for their government’s actions.
Yorke acknowledged that his statement might not satisfy everyone. “I am sure that to this point, what I’ve written here will in no way satisfy those who choose to target myself or those I work with,” he said.
Reaction to the post was divided. While some fans welcomed the clarity, others criticised the perceived neutrality of his stance. One commenter called it “the most centrist thing I’ve read, and that’s not a compliment.”
Yorke’s statement reflects the increasing pressure on high-profile artists to take definitive positions on global issues, particularly the Israel-Gaza conflict. His remarks highlight the tension between public expectations and personal conscience, as well as the difficulties artists face navigating complex political landscapes.

Gervais delivers a cheeky speech filled with sarcasm and dark humour
Ricky Gervais now has his own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, but it wouldn’t be a Ricky moment without a few jabs that made the room a bit tense. Known for pushing buttons with his jokes, the 63-year-old comedian didn’t hold back during his acceptance speech, which mixed dry humour with some edgy digs.
Looking around at the star-studded pavement, he jokingly pointed out some controversial names, including Michael Jackson, Bill Cosby, and Fatty Arbuckle, all of whom have faced serious allegations. Gervais, with a smirk, seemed to be making a comment on how celebrity and scandal often go hand in hand, especially in a place like Hollywood.

But beneath the usual sarcasm, Gervais did show a bit of sincerity. He said the honour left him “humbled” and credited his success to “luck, persistence, and going against the grain.” True to form, he also joked about his casual outfit, saying he wasn’t trying to be edgy, he just didn’t own a suit that fit.
The comedian’s place on the Walk marks him as the 2,813th inductee, joining names from Bob Marley to Stevie Wonder. His long career includes hits like The Office, Derek, and After Life, and he’s picked up multiple Emmys, BAFTAs, and Golden Globes along the way, the latter of which he’s hosted in infamous fashion.

Controversy has never been far behind him. His Netflix special Armageddon drew backlash even before release, with thousands signing a petition over jokes targeting terminally ill children. But Gervais brushed it off, saying people were reacting to headlines, not the actual performance. “They’re hecklers,” he said in an interview, dismissing the outrage as manufactured.
He’s defended his comedy by insisting it’s never personal and is just ideas explored through humour. “People often confuse the topic of a joke with its target,” he explained. His work, including darker series like After Life, often circles around deeper themes like death, grief, and morality, all wrapped in wit.

Whether you find him sharp or just plain insensitive, Ricky Gervais doesn’t plan to change his approach. He believes comedy should provoke, even if it ruffles feathers. And now, with a star on Hollywood Boulevard, he’s left a permanent mark, both on the pavement and the industry.

Mumbai will now play Punjab Kings in Qualifier 2 in Ahmedabad on Sunday. (Photo: Getty Images)
ROHIT SHARMA’s 81 helped Mumbai Indians beat Gujarat Titans by 20 runs in the eliminator on Friday, knocking Gujarat out of the Indian Premier League.
Mumbai, who chose to bat first, put up 228-5 at Mullanpur in New Chandigarh after a strong opening partnership between Rohit and England’s Jonny Bairstow, who scored 47.
Gujarat reached 208-6 in reply despite an 80 by opener Sai Sudharsan in the must-win playoff.
Mumbai will now play Punjab Kings in Qualifier 2 in Ahmedabad on Sunday. The winner will face Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the final on June 3.
Bairstow joined Mumbai ahead of the playoffs as some players left for international duties. He scored 47 off 22 balls to give Mumbai a quick start.
Rohit, who retired from Test cricket along with Virat Kohli, survived two dropped catches on three and 12 by Gujarat fielders. He went on to hit nine fours and four sixes in his 50-ball knock, earning him the player of the match award.
"I've got only four fifties (this season), I think I would have liked to get more," said Rohit. "Today, after having some luck going my way, I knew I had to make the most of it. I'm glad I could do that, and get the team into a good position."
Gujarat missed wicketkeeper-batter Jos Buttler. His replacement, Sri Lanka’s Kusal Mendis, dropped two catches.
"Not easy when we drop three sitters, especially in the powerplay," said Gujarat skipper Shubman Gill. "Not easy for the bowlers to control."
Bairstow missed his fifty when Sai Kishore took his wicket with Gerald Coetzee catching a rebound from Sudharsan.
Rohit went past 7000 IPL runs and completed his 47th fifty in the tournament with a four. Suryakumar Yadav made 33 in 20 balls, hitting three sixes and one four before falling to Kishore.
Gujarat fought back in the middle overs as Prasidh Krishna dismissed Rohit and Siraj took Tilak Varma on 25.
Hardik Pandya ended Mumbai’s innings strongly with an unbeaten 22 off nine balls, as Coetzee gave away 22 runs in the final over.
In Gujarat’s reply, Gill fell lbw for one in the first over to former New Zealand pacer Trent Boult.
Sudharsan, who leads the IPL with 759 runs, kept Gujarat in the chase with an 84-run partnership with Washington Sundar, who scored 48.
Jasprit Bumrah bowled Sundar with a yorker, and England’s Richard Gleeson bowled Sudharsan to end Gujarat’s hopes.
Bumrah returned figures of 1-27 from four overs. Mumbai’s head coach Mahela Jayawardene said Bumrah is a "massive asset."
Impact substitute Sherfane Rutherford fell on 24 in the 19th over. With 24 needed in the final over, Gleeson bowled three balls before leaving the field with a cramp. Ashwani Kumar bowled the remaining deliveries to secure Mumbai’s win.
The tournament was extended by nine days after being paused due to a military conflict between India and Pakistan. Some overseas players, including Buttler, left before the playoffs.
