Bollywood actor Salman Khan has been granted permission to travel abroad. Khan, who is on bail in the blackbuck poaching case, had sought the court's permission to travel to four nations, including Nepal, USA and Canada from May 25 to July 10.

The 52-year-old actor, popularly known in the Hindi film industry as "bhai", was sentenced to five years in jail for killing two blackbucks in 1998 in Kankani village, near Jodhpur in Rajasthan. Khan was filming multi-starrer Hum Saath Saath Hain at the time.

Although he was accompanied by his co-actors Saif Ali Khan, Tabu, Neelam Kothari and Sonal Bendre during the late-night hunting expedition, they were acquitted by the Jodhpur sessions court.

Khan walked out of the Jodhpur Central Jail on April 7 after spending two nights there.  Khan was let out on a bond of Rs 50,000 and two sureties of Rs 25,000 each.

Khan is currently gearing up for the production of Ali Abbas Zafar's Bharat alongside Priyanka Chopra. According to reports, the film will see Khan sporting five different looks spanning 60 years.

Chopra shared her excitement at being a part of the film by saying she was eagerly looking forward to working with Khan.

“Bharat it is! I’m looking forward to begin shooting this film and working with Salman and Ali again after a considerable time," she said. "I’ve learnt a lot from them in our previous collaborations and am excited to see what this one has to offer. I’m also looking forward to working with Alvira and Atul (Agnihotri, Salman’s sister and brother-in-law and film’s producers) and the entire team of Bharat.To all my well-wishers who’ve been so patient and supportive… thank you for your constant support and I’ll see you all at the movies.”

This is Chopra's first Bollywood outing after Jai Gangaajal.

Exclusive: Kajol credits Ajay Devgn for making 'Maa' a premium horror experience

In an exclusive interview with Eastern Eye, Kajol pulls back the curtain on her most daring role yet. Forget the dimples and that signature bindi for a moment. Kajol, the powerhouse we know for fiery roles and infectious energy, is stepping into chilling new territory. Her upcoming film, Maa, which hits screens on 27 June, isn’t built around cheap jump scares. It’s a raw look at the everyday fears that haunt parents, especially mothers. Chatting with her felt less like a fluff piece and more like an honest heart-to-heart.

Suchitra Krishnamoorthi apologises after calling Ahmedabad plane crash survivor a ‘liar’

Actor and singer Suchitra Krishnamoorthi has issued a public apology after facing strong criticism on social media for questioning the survival story of Vishwas Kumar Ramesh, the sole survivor of the recent Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad.

Deleted post sparks backlash

The controversy began when Krishnamoorthi, known for her role in Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa, shared a now-deleted post on X (formerly Twitter) alleging that Vishwas Kumar Ramesh had fabricated his account of surviving the 12 June crash. In her post, she wrote:
“So this #vishwaskumarramesh lied about being a passenger on the plane & the only survivor? This is seriously weird. Didn't his family in the UK corroborate his story? What about his brother's funeral that he was seen giving kandha to? Deserve not only some serious punishment but some mental asylum time if this is true uff.”
