Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol unveil DDLJ bronze statue in London’s Leicester Square

-
Bollywood icons Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol marked a memorable moment on December 4, 2025, by unveiling a bronze statue of their legendary characters Raj and Simran from the 1995 classic Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (DDLJ) at London’s famed Leicester Square. Despite cold, rainy weather, the pair captivated the gathered audience and media, recreating the film’s iconic pose with radiant smiles. Shah Rukh Khan looked sharp in a black suit, while Kajol radiated grace in a mint-green saree. The new bronze statue is the first ever dedicated to an Indian film at Leicester Square, placing DDLJ alongside global cinematic icons like those from Harry Potter, Mary Poppins, Paddington, Singin’ in the Rain, and heroic figures like Batman and Wonder Woman. The statue captures the film’s signature pose — a moment the duo lovingly recreated during the ceremony. Reflecting on the anniversary, Shah Rukh Khan said, “DDLJ was made with a pure heart.

Karan Johar reveals the reason behind giving Koffee With Karan a skip in 2024; calls Season 8 rapid fire a ‘snooze alert’

-

Karan Johar, who is known for his quirky jibes and witty one-liners did not receive a great feedback when it came to his show Koffee With Karan Season 8 which released in 2023. The filmmaker-host’s show is known for its fun conversations where actors spill the beans on their personal and professional lives, making some intriguing revelations. However, the year of 2024 will not mark the return of the show, asserted KJo, who also promised that he is definitely looking at releasing Season 9 next year.

In an interview with Sucharita, Karan Johar discussed what went wrong with Season 8 of Koffee With Karan and revealed how a fun and peppy round like the Rapid Fire had become so boring that he didn’t want to give out the prize (coffee hamper) to anyone. “In the history of Koffee with Karan, it was the most boring rapid fire. It was so boring that I was like snooze alert. I’m like why am I even doing this? You’re not giving me questions. Should we just drop the rapid fire? Main hi hamper ghar le jaata hoon because no one really deserves to win it,” said Karan.

He further stated about Season 9 being on the cards and shared, “Let’s change the world of Koffee with Karan. Let season 9 be all the fun, all the chattiness and all the candour but let’s do it in a way that is not putting the celebrities in an awkward, touchy space. People are scared to open up, they don’t say anything the way they used to. You can’t ask them which is an overrated film or an overrated performance. Nobody is going to give it to you.”

“So I took 2024 off. It’s going to be back 2025. Somewhere around the second half of 2025, we want to come back with a new syntax,” he concluded.

The Miracle Club review – Maggie Smith can’t save this rocky road trip to Lourdes

-
Laura Linney is upstaged by older co-stars Smith and Kathy Bates in this sentimental tale about a group of Dublin women who go on a spiritual journey together Who’s up for a golden-hued heartwarmer set in 60s Ireland starring Kathy Bates and Maggie Smith about women with secret fears and dreams going on a church trip to Lourdes and finally finding the real miracle is their new compassion for each other? The answer to this question could well have been … me. I have a liking for a gentle tale and there is nothing necessarily wrong with, just occasionally, showing Ireland and the church of this period with something other than outrage and horror. But The Miracle Club does not at any time, to use a discredited metaphor, throw away its crutches and walk. And it’s painful to note that this is largely because of the way film can’t convincingly use that estimable actor Laura Linney in a central role. She is upstaged by the older, fruitier performances and doesn’t hold her own with a more seri...
