Yo Yo Honey Singh calls out YouTube trolls at Lucknow concert; says, “Hum yahan tabse hain jab YouTube bhi nahin tha”

Honey Singh is back on stage, lighting up cities with his Millionaire India Tour, but he’s also taking a stand against his critics. During his Lucknow concert on February 28, the rapper paused to address those who troll him on YouTube podcasts, making it clear that their words don’t affect him. Singh also shared a more personal side, revealing the lifestyle changes he’s recently embraced.

Honey Singh said, “So many people do podcasts on YouTube these days. Mere baare main ulta seedha bolte hain. Unko yeh batao, hum yahan tabse hain jab YouTube bhi nahin tha. Yeh baal aise hi thodi na safed hue hain. (So many people do podcasts on YouTube these days. They talk nonsense about me. Tell them, I’ve been here since before YouTube even existed. These grey hairs didn’t just appear for no reason!).”

Honey Singh got candid about his lifestyle transformation during his Lucknow concert, sharing that he has completely given up alcohol and now sticks to water as his go-to drink. The rapper discussed making healthier choices and embracing a new chapter in his life.

He continued, “I lived life to the fullest when I indulged, and I drank with all my heart. But my friends, sisters, and brothers, I have quit alcohol. You should also give up intoxication. These days, I only drink water.”

Honey Singh has been on a roll with his Millionaire India Tour, delivering one electrifying performance after another. He lit up Mumbai on February 22, brought the energy to Lucknow on February 28, and is now all set to take over Delhi on March 1.

Bhagyashree opens up on the challenges of raising kids while managing career responsibilities: “I didn't believe in leaving my children with nannies”

Bollywood icon Bhagyashree, who rose to fame with Maine Pyar Kiya, emphasized that one shouldn't rest on past laurels. Unlike many of her peers, she has made the most of her influence through social media, becoming an advocate for women’s health and well-being. In the third season of Mid-Day’s Powerful Women, Bhagyashree opened up about balancing work with motherhood, raising her children with gender equality as a core value, and more.

Bhagyashree acknowledged that being a mother can be challenging, especially when you're trying to pursue your dreams while also managing responsibilities at home with your family and kids. Reflecting on the times she would bring her daughter, Avantika Dasani, to the set, Bhagyashree stated, “To strike the balance somewhere, there is no right and wrong. It is a fight that you have to win every day. So you have to put on your armor and go there and do your stuff. I didn't believe in leaving my children with nannies. Though I had my in-laws, I didn't think it was right to expect them to look after a toddler. And I would hate if I were to come back home and someone were to tell me that we are looking after your kids.”

She added, “It was tough when I was doing that. But the beauty of the situation was that I was enjoying both. I didn't want to leave being a mother to her. I think I was more capable at that age than I was when Abhimanyu was born. I was far too young to manage both worlds.”

Bhagyashree believes that gender equality starts at home. She said, “Household tasks have to be shared by both. Brother has come, he is very tired, give him water. No, that doesn't work. Both of them are equipped to cook food for themselves. Because they used to say that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach. I also feel it works the opposite way. I feel that when you bring up your children as rounded human beings it gives them a chance to interact with complete equality.”

EXCLUSIVE: Neena Gupta talks about Dil Dosti Aur Dogs; SLAMS makers for not promoting OTT films well: “Aap itni mehnat karte ho aur phir zyada log usko dekhte nahin. It DEPRESSES me; sometimes, I feel I should rather do a commercial film. Kam se kam, koi dekhega toh sahi”

The heartwarming film Dil Dosti Aur Dogs was released on Friday, February 28, on JioHotstar. On the same day, its actress Neena Gupta spoke exclusively with Bollywood Hungama about the film and a lot more.

What do you usually do on the day your film releases? I am in Goa right now and I don’t have a television. Hence, I feel miserable that I can’t see the film. I’ll now wait for people’s reviews and reactions. You want appreciation and that’s why you work, right?

Do you like visiting cinema halls to see the reactions? I used to do that a lot. In recent times, my films haven’t been released in cinemas but in the past, I have visited theatres extensively.

You are at a stage in life where you are being selective in choosing in your films. Hence, what made you sign a film like Dil Dosti Aur Dogs? Firstly, it has a very good script. All the subplots have been well woven into the narrative. Secondly, my role is very different from anything I have done so far. She is a lonely, spinster kind of a woman living in her own bungalow. She doesn’t like anybody. How a dog changes her life is what the film is about.

You have extensively shot with an animal in this film. Do you like dogs in real life? Are you scared of them? Oh yes, I like dogs and no, I am not scared of them. I have four dogs in my Delhi house. I don’t have one in Mumbai, unfortunately.

How was it shooting a dog? It is very tough shooting with animals. You need to have a lot of patience. He will not do what you want him to do. Also, while you are speaking your dialogue, the caretaker might say, ‘Lie down, get up’ etc. Hence, you have to concentrate very hard and ignore the caretaker’s interruption.

Dil Dosti Aur Dogs is a feel-good film and its fun watching such films in cinemas and laughing collectively on funny scenes. We had that experience with your theatrical film Badhaai Ho (2018), which was also in the same zone. Did you ever wish that this film would have also been released on the big screen? Yes, I feel that for every film. Nowadays, OTT platforms don’t even publicize our films. It saddens me. Aap itni mehnat karte ho kisi film mein aur phir woh zyada log usko dekhte nahin hai. It depresses me. I wonder, ‘Hum itni mehnat kyun karein?’. Mast Mein Rehna Ka (2023) was also such a wonderful film. Lekin uska ek poster bhi nahin laga.

Dil Dosti Aur Dogs’ trailer was out just 3 days before its release… Yes, and there’s (no other asset of the film). In India, a very, very tiny number of TV audiences watch content on OTT. The rest watch Doordarshan or some free online platform. Also, even today, not everyone has a smartphone. Hence, sometimes, I feel that I should rather do a commercial film. Kam se kam, koi dekhega toh sahi.

Mika Singh blames Bipasha Basu’s ‘tantrums’ behind her current career hiatus

Singer Mika Singh revealed that he didn’t have a positive experience working with actress Bipasha Basu on the crime thriller Dangerous. In a recent interview with Pinkvilla, he accused Bipasha of throwing tantrums during the project and suggested that her current lack of work is a result of her attitude.

Mika made his debut as a producer with the MX Original Dangerous, which starred Bipasha Basu and Karan Singh Grover. The crime thriller was released in 2020.

In the interview, the singer reflected on his ‘unpleasant’ experience of working with Bipasha. Initially, Mika had envisioned the project as a small-scale film, mainly intended to showcase his music.

He mentioned, “Why do you think they’re out of work now? God is watching everything. I liked Karan a lot and wanted to produce a low-budget film—around Rs. 4 crores.”

At that time, Mika couldn’t afford to hire Vikram Bhatt as the director. Instead, he brought him on board as a writer and enlisted Bhushan Patel to direct. The situation changed when Bipasha insisted on being part of the project.

Mika added, “I was considering another actress, but she wanted to be a part of it. The shoot was set in London, and the budget increased from Rs. 4 crores to Rs. 14 crores... And the drama created by Bipasha ensured that I would always regret getting into production. It was a team she was comfortable with, and they were playing a couple, who had to feature in kissing scenes. Suddenly, she was throwing tantrums saying she won’t do this or she won’t do that, etc…”

Mika also mentioned that he never defaulted on their payments, but completing the dubbing process wasn’t easy either. He shared, “Someone always had a sore throat. If it was Bipasha who was sick at one time, it was Karan at another.”

Karan Singh Grover and Bipasha Basu met while filming Alone in 2015. They got married in 2016 and welcomed their first child, a daughter named Devi, in 2022. It has been nearly five years since Bipasha was last seen in an acting role.
