Abhishek Bachchan reveals Amitabh crushed him with a brutal remark during 'Sarkar' shoot
Quick highlights:
- Abhishek Bachchan said he was “petrified” during his first scene with Amitabh Bachchan in Sarkar.
- After the shoot, Amitabh scolded him in the car, saying, “Dialogue bolna aata nahi hai tumhe.”
- The 2005 political thriller marked their first major film together.
- Abhishek will next be seen in Kaalidhar Laapata, premiering on 4 July on Zee5.
Abhishek Bachchan has opened up about a nerve-wracking experience from the sets of Sarkar, where his father Amitabh Bachchan gave him a blunt lesson on acting after their very first scene together. Speaking in an interview, Abhishek recalled the tension and pressure he felt on the first day of the shoot back in 2004 and the silence that followed until a sharp comment from his dad shattered it.

Sharing the memory, Abhishek said, “The first time we shot together was for Sarkar. Ramu [Ram Gopal Varma] said we’d do test shoots and then I could move on to Bunty Aur Babli. I was sweating and panicking. All I had to do was turn around and say ‘Ji?’ but I was shaking.”
That small scene turned into a big moment. After the shoot wrapped, Abhishek waited in his vanity van, hoping to leave after Amitabh. But instead, Amitabh came knocking, suggesting they head home together.

The silent car ride and a scolding to remember
According to Abhishek, the ride home was filled with complete silence. “He was just staring ahead. When we reached home and the staff got out, he finally turned to me and said, ‘Isiliye maine itne saal mehnat karke tumhe padhaya likhaya? Dialogue bolna aata nahi hai tumhe.’ I felt like I had killed someone. He just destroyed me.”
It was a moment that stayed with him, marking one of his earliest lessons in the industry from someone who demands nothing less than perfection, even if that someone is your father.

A turning point in their on-screen journey
Sarkar, directed by Ram Gopal Varma, was released in 2005 and went on to become a major hit. Loosely inspired by The Godfather, the film featured Amitabh in a role of political power and Abhishek as his loyal son. The success of the film led to two sequels: Sarkar Raj (2008) and Sarkar 3 (2017).
The real-life father-son dynamics added emotional depth to the film, especially considering how different they were from their on-screen relationship. While the characters bonded through unwavering loyalty, the reality behind the scenes was far more intense, at least in the beginning.

What’s next for Abhishek Bachchan
Now, 25 years into his acting career, Abhishek has carved his own path, gradually earning praise for performances in films like Guru, Manmarziyaan, and Dasvi. His next project, Kaalidhar Laapata, will premiere on Zee5 on 4 July.

Though the early days were rocky, especially under the towering shadow of a legend like Amitabh Bachchan, this behind-the-scenes story shows just how seriously the Bachchans take their craft, and how a tough first lesson may have set the tone for Abhishek’s journey in cinema.
BTS confirm 2026 comeback with new album and world tour after completing military service

Band reunites after military discharge
The announcement came during a 30-minute livestream on 1 July via Weverse, which saw all seven members including Jin, RM, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook, together on air for the first time in nearly three years. Their hiatus began in late 2022 as each member enlisted for South Korea’s mandatory military service. Jin, the eldest, was discharged in June 2024, while the final group members RM, V, Jimin, and Jungkook completed service in June 2025. Suga, who served alternative duty, finished on 21 June.

BTS album to reflect 'original mindset'
“We’ll begin working closely together from July,” the group shared during the livestream. “Since this is a group album, it’ll reflect everyone’s input. We’re going into it with the same mindset we had when we first started.”
The 2026 release will be BTS’ first studio album since BE in 2020 and their first full-group project since the 2022 anthology Proof, which became South Korea’s best-selling album of that year with nearly 3.5 million copies sold.

Tour to follow new album release
Alongside the album, BTS confirmed plans for a global tour, though exact dates and cities have not been revealed. The tour will be their first since Permission to Dance on Stage, which drew more than 4 million fans across in-person shows and digital broadcasts during the post-pandemic period.
“We’ll be visiting fans all over the world. Please look forward to it,” RM said, as fans flooded Weverse with excitement. The stream drew over 7.3 million real-time views.
Economic impact and global success
BTS' return is more than just a musical event, it’s almost like an economic force. Before their hiatus, the group contributed over £3.2 billion (₹33,600 crores) annually to South Korea’s economy, amounting to roughly 0.2% of the country’s GDP, according to the Korea Culture and Tourism Institute. They remain the most-streamed group on Spotify and were the first K-pop act to top both the Billboard 200 and Billboard Artist 100 charts.
Sean Diddy Combs trial sees jury deadlock on racketeering as verdict reached on sex trafficking charges
• Deliberations to continue Wednesday after just 13 hours behind closed doors
• Combs faces decades in prison if convicted of sex trafficking or racketeering
The jury in Sean “Diddy” Combs’ federal sex trafficking trial has delivered a partial verdict, agreeing on four of the five serious charges against the music mogul. However, jurors remain split on the most severe charge of racketeering conspiracy, a count that could send Combs to prison for life if convicted.
After two full days of deliberation in a New York courtroom, the 12-member panel told Judge Arun Subramanian that they had reached unanimous decisions on two counts of sex trafficking and two counts related to transportation for prostitution. These verdicts remain sealed for now.

Jury stalled over racketeering conspiracy charge
The panel informed the judge on Tuesday evening that they were unable to agree on the racketeering conspiracy charge due to “unpersuadable opinions on both sides.” The charge is the most complex, requiring jurors to determine if Combs operated a coordinated criminal enterprise involving at least two crimes across several years.
Combs has denied all five charges. He sat quietly in court as Judge Subramanian declined to accept a partial verdict and ordered deliberations to continue. His defence team had requested more time to try for full consensus.

Sex trafficking and prostitution charges under wraps
Though the jury has reached decisions on the remaining charges, the court has not revealed those verdicts yet. If found guilty of sex trafficking, Combs faces a minimum sentence of 15 years, while convictions on the prostitution-related charges carry up to 10 years each.
The case is based on disturbing testimony from 34 witnesses, including two of Combs’ ex-girlfriends. The government alleges that the Bad Boy Records founder orchestrated “Freak Offs” or sex marathons involving drugs, male escorts, and coercion, often across state lines.

Cassie’s testimony and surveillance video central to case
One of the most damning pieces of evidence came from R&B singer Cassie Ventura, who testified that Combs abused her physically and sexually during their decade-long relationship. The jury reviewed her account of a 2016 hotel hallway assault, captured on surveillance video, where Combs was seen kicking and dragging her.
Prosecutors say the footage supports Ventura’s claim that she tried to flee a coerced sex party. They argue Combs used threats, money, and fear of public humiliation to control and exploit her.

Defence paints alternate picture of consensual lifestyle
Combs’ attorneys insist the trial is a smear campaign aimed at criminalising the artist’s consensual swinger lifestyle. They argue his personal relationships were toxic but not criminal, and the alleged abuse, while serious, does not meet the bar for federal sex trafficking or racketeering.

They also reject claims that his employees helped facilitate illegal acts, saying any staff involvement was limited to professional duties, not criminal collaboration.
