Priyanka Chopra on donning a director’s hat in future

After staying away from Bollywood for almost three years, Priyanka Chopra is finally returning to her home turf with the upcoming Hindi film The Sky Is Pink. Also starring Farhan Akhtar and Zaira Wasim in lead roles, the movie is inspired from a real-life incident and features Chopra in the role of a dying teenager’s mother.

During a promotional event of the much-awaited film, when the actress was asked if she would like to go behind the camera someday and direct a film, she said, "It is something that makes me nervous because it is a lot of responsibility. But slowly, I have moved from acting to production and hopefully, I'll make that (directing films) transition too someday.”


The Sky Is Pink is directed by award-winning filmmaker Shonali Bose. She shot to fame after helming the 2015 film Margarita With A Straw which went on to garner critical and commercial success. It is the second time when Priyanka Chopra has worked with a female director after Zoya Akhtar in Dil Dhadakne Do (2015).

"I don't think gender defines anything. Women and men are capable or as incapable as their merit makes them. Working with Shonali was my honour. I think she is an incredible filmmaker and her gender does not define that," said the actress.

"I don't think that your estrogen changes the kind of films that you make. I think she is an incredible filmmaker and the kind of stories that she has told and will continue telling, I think will define Indian cinema," she added.

Produced by RSVP and Roy Kapur Films, in association with SK Global and Purple Pebble Pictures, The Sky Is Pink is scheduled to release on October 11.

Are Kanye West and Bianca Censori breaking up after the viral Grammys stunt?

Kanye West, now legally known as Ye, and his wife, Bianca Censori, are once again at the centre of divorce rumours, this time following a series of controversies surrounding Ye. Reports suggest that the couple’s relationship has been strained due to Ye’s recent actions, including allegations of antisemitism and the backlash from selling swastika-themed merchandise.

Sources claim that Censori, 30, reached a breaking point, unwilling to be associated with Ye’s controversies any longer. The tension reportedly escalated after Censori’s near-nude appearance at the 2025 Grammy Awards, which drew widespread criticism. While Ye defended her bold outfit, calling her “smart, talented, brave, and hot,” the incident allegedly deepened the rift between them.

'Chhaava's' mixed twitter reactions: Vicky Kaushal shines, but does the film deliver?

Vicky Kaushal’s latest period drama, Chhaava, has sparked mixed reactions from audiences following its theatrical release. While Kaushal’s portrayal of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj has been widely praised, opinions on the overall execution of the film remain divided.

Social media has been flooded with reactions, with many hailing Kaushal’s intense performance and Akshaye Khanna’s chilling presence as Aurangzeb. One viewer called Kaushal “fire,” while another remarked that Khanna’s performance would “give you goosebumps.” The film’s dramatic battle sequences, emotional depth in the second half, and powerful climax have resonated with audiences, with some calling it Bollywood’s first major hit of 2025.

Selena Gomez is stepping back into the music scene—but this time, it’s more personal than ever. Alongside her fiancé, producer Benny Blanco, she has announced their joint album, I Said I Love You First, set to release on March 21, 2025.

Written by Gomez, Blanco, and Finneas, the song captures the fragile side of love with lyrics like, “I’m not scared of loving you / I’m just scared of losing you.” It also hints at lessons from past relationships, reflecting on youthful missteps: “When I was young, I would love too fast / Hope I don’t repeat my past.” A lyric video featuring candid moments between the couple adds to the song’s emotional weight, offering fans a rare glimpse into their private world.
