Karan Johar says Met Gala moment feels like “coming full circle” in career; wishes to take selfie with Sabrina Carpenter for daughter Roohi Johar

Filmmaker Karan Johar spoke about his journey in fashion and cinema ahead of his appearance at the Met Gala 2026 in New York. In an interaction at the Empire State Building, Johar reflected on how his career has come full circle, returning to fashion on one of its most prominent global platforms.

Recalling his early years, Johar said, “I did start as a costume designer. That was my primary passion when I was about 22 years old. And then I discovered on the sets of a film that filmmaking is what really exhilarates me, excites me, inspires me.” He added that while he moved on to become a director and producer, his connection with fashion has remained constant over the years.

Johar also shared memories of his first exposure to fashion through magazines. “I remember the origin of fashion in my life was Vogue. I remember reading my first fashion magazine that I read when I was all of 12 years old was Vogue. That time it wasn't available in India, so I had to go to a tiny shop that sold some old Vogue magazines,” he said.

Speaking about the significance of attending the Met Gala, Johar noted that it was an event he had followed for years. “I always imagined what it would feel like to be on that carpet that represents like a story with fashion and so much talent and so much artistry and hours of execution of each garment and ideation. I just feel like fashion is such a deep art form,” he said. He added that this year’s theme further strengthened the personal significance of his presence. “For me to come back this year where the theme is fashion is art really not only just completes an entire circle in my head, but also it's such a critical year to be representing India,” he said.

The filmmaker emphasised the importance of showcasing Indian culture on a global stage. “I'm here to represent my country and also showcase our deep cultural heritage through my garment,” he added.

On a lighter note, Johar spoke about a personal wish for the evening. “I'm the father of twins. Yash and Roohi, they're both nine. My daughter is obsessed with Sabrina Carpenter. If I can meet her and if I can take a selfie with her, if that would be permissible, allowed, and if I am not encroaching on her privacy, I think my daughter will just, it'll be the best gift to give her,” he said.

Johar also confirmed that his outfit for the evening has been designed by Manish Malhotra. “He is a legendary designer from India. He's also my best friend. We've been collaborators on film forever. Every film that I've directed, he has actually designed for costumes. His name is Manish Malhotra. He has made my garment, which had to happen because we've had a journey together as best friends,” Johar shared.

He further added that their collaboration for the Met Gala holds emotional value. “He went into the world of fashion, I went into film, and we crossed paths beautifully, and we're here to represent our country together, and I feel really great and emotional about it.”

Ayushmann Khurrana brings back the golden era of comedy with Pati Patni Aur Woh Do; says, “It’s a throwback to a time when storytelling was simple, clean, and genuinely funny”

Actor Ayushmann Khurrana is gearing up for the release of his upcoming family entertainer, Pati Patni Aur Woh Do. The film promises to bring back the charm of classic situational comedy, drawing inspiration from the golden era of Hindi cinema.

The film taps into a storytelling tradition that audiences have cherished for decades, a space where misunderstandings spiral into hilarious situations, every character adds a new layer to the narrative, and the humour feels organic, clean and timeless.

Speaking about the film, Ayushmann said, “Pati Patni Aur Woh Do is a situational comedy in its purest, most classic form. The idea traces its roots back to the legacy of Sanjeev Kumar. I have been a big fan of his work. Humour from films of that era emerged from misunderstandings, timing, and character dynamics. I’ve always admired that style of storytelling, seen in timeless films like Padosan, Chupke Chupke, Angoor and Gol Maal. They are a laugh riot and I’m hoping Pati Patni Aur Woh Do will also be the same for people.”

He added, “With this film, Mudassar Aziz has crafted something that carries forward that spirit of clever writing in cinema that celebrates comedy of errors beautifully. This is an out and out family entertainer meant to be enjoyed together, where the comedy comes from a series of errors and misunderstandings. It’s a throwback to a time when storytelling was simple, clean, and genuinely funny and that’s exactly what we’ve tried to recreate here. I’m a big fan of such cinema and it was truly refreshing for me to see someone wanting to make that kind of film and celebrate the simplicity of emotions”.

At a time when Hindi cinema is constantly chasing newer formats, genres and spectacle-driven narratives, Pati Patni Aur Woh Do looks back at a much-loved style of comedy that relied on sharp writing, timing and character-based humour. In doing so, the film aims to remind audiences why comedy of errors has remained one of the most enjoyable genres for Indian families.

Slated to release in theatres on May 15, 2026, Pati Patni Aur Woh Do promises to deliver laughter rooted in timeless storytelling, offering a wholesome cinematic experience for families.

Jacqueline Fernandez set to return to Cannes Film Festival 2026

Actor Jacqueline Fernandez is expected to attend the 79th edition of the Cannes Film Festival, scheduled to take place from May 12 to May 23, 2026, in France. The actor, who has been a recurring presence at the festival in recent years, is preparing for her appearance on the international red carpet.

According to sources, Jacqueline has already begun preparations, which include styling sessions and finalising her wardrobe for the event. Her Cannes outings have often drawn attention for their fashion choices, and similar expectations surround her appearance this year as well.

A source close to the development said, “Jacqueline’s Cannes appearances have consistently reflected her evolution as a global personality. Every year, she ensures her presence goes beyond fashion and glamour, carrying India’s representation onto an international stage with elegance and confidence. This year too, she is carefully finalising multiple looks that align with her global image while celebrating her roots.”

Jacqueline has maintained a steady association with Cannes over the past few years. In 2025, she was recognised by the Red Sea Film Foundation as part of its Women in Cinema initiative. She was among a select group of international artists acknowledged for their contributions to the film industry.

In 2024, the actor attended the festival and was present at the premiere of The Substance. Her appearances during that edition also received attention across fashion and entertainment platforms.

With Cannes 2026 approaching, Jacqueline Fernandez’s return adds to the list of Indian personalities expected to mark their presence at the festival.

EXCLUSIVE: Awarapan 2 sparks distributor frenzy; Dharma, Zee Studios, AA Films and others meet Mukesh Bhatt for theatrical rights

Awarapan (2007) underperformed at the box office during its theatrical run but went on to achieve cult status over the years, thanks to its unforgettable soundtrack, touching storyline, memorable dramatic and action moments and, of course, Emraan Hashmi in an intense, never-seen-before avatar. As a result, the trade and industry are confident about the prospects of Awarapan 2. Last week, some of the biggest distributors in the Hindi film industry were seen at the Vishesh Films office, keen to acquire the film’s all-India theatrical rights.

A trade source told Bollywood Hungama, “You name it and that distributor was seen at the Vishesh Films office last week – be it Zee Studios, Anil Thadani’s AA Films, Pen Marudhar, Jio Studios, Star Studio18, Cinepolis, etc. That’s not all. Dharma Productions, which now has its own distribution arm, also met Mukesh Bhatt. Lastly, Ananya Birla’s Birla Studios plans to not only produce but also distribute films in the future. Their representative also dropped by.”

An industry insider commented, “Ek zamaane mein hota tha that distributors would make a beeline and fiercely try to outdo each other to acquire the rights of a promising film. This episode reminded me of those days. It clearly shows that Awarapan 2 will be a film to watch out for. The first part has tremendous recall value. Memes are already being shared online about how fans are waiting to see the second part. As they say in our line, picture ekdum garam hai.”

The trade source further said, “Mukesh Bhatt is quite overwhelmed by the response. He met all the distributors warmly. Now, he and his team are analysing the offers and are expected to make a decision soon. Once that is done, the makers will announce the name of the distributor who won the competitive bid.”

Besides Emraan Hashmi, Awarapan’s first part also starred Shriya Saran, Mrinalini Sharma, Ashutosh Rana, Ashish Vidyarthi, Shaad Randhawa, Salil Acharya, Purab Kohli and the late Atul Parchure. Mohit Suri directed the love saga while its evergreen songs were composed by Pritam Chakraborty.

As for Awarapan 2, it is directed by Nitin Kakkar of Filmistaan (2014) and Notebook (2019) fame. This time, Emraan is joined by Disha Patani and Shabana Azmi. It releases in cinemas on August 14.

Janhvi Kapoor receives support from Amaha; company issues strong statement clarifying addiction remarks after podcast clip goes viral

Actor Janhvi Kapoor recently found herself at the centre of online speculation after a segment from her appearance on Raj Shamani’s podcast was circulated out of context. The edited clips led to misleading assumptions that the actress was speaking from personal experience about alcohol addiction.

Addressing the growing confusion, mental health organisation Amaha, in collaboration with Off The Rocks, issued an official clarification regarding Kapoor’s role in the conversation. The statement firmly refuted claims that the actress had any personal history of addiction.

“We at Off The Rocks & Amaha have noticed certain media pages misrepresenting content associated with this initiative and Janhvi Kapoor. This is deeply concerning. We want to be clear, Janhvi Kapoor is part of this conversation as a caregiver and ally, not as someone who has had any personal experience of addiction or alcohol dependence”, the statement read.

It further emphasised the impact of such misinformation, adding, “Such misrepresentation not only diminishes her role, but also undermines and disrespects the real, lived experiences of those battling addiction and those supporting them. Let's not trivialise efforts to lend a healing hand to a critical problem by misleading information for the sake of click bait.”

Calling for accountability, the organisation concluded, “We strongly call upon media outlets, digital platforms, and individuals to report with integrity and ensure conversations around addiction are handled with the sensitivity they deserve. Misinformation in this space is harmful, irresponsible, and disrespectful to the very community this dialogue aims to support. Thank you for standing with us.”

During the podcast, Kapoor had spoken about alcohol addiction in a broader context, while also reiterating that she has not personally struggled with it. She also elaborated on her involvement in initiatives that aim to combat addiction, positioning herself as a caregiver and ally. However, selective edits of her remarks sparked speculation, with some reports highlighting her statement about how she may have turned to alcohol during the COVID-19 period, thus creating the need to issue an official clarification.

On the professional front, Kapoor is gearing up for her upcoming film Peddi, which marks her second Telugu outing after Devara. The film also stars Ram Charan and is slated for release on June 4, adding to the anticipation surrounding her expanding filmography.
