Singer KK’s daughter Taamara took to social media on Sunday to remember her late dad on Father’s Day. The singer passed away last month in Kolkata due to cardiac arrest. His untimely death left the country in shock. On Father’s Day, Taamara took to Instagram to share some throwback pictures with her father and penned a heartbreaking note.
“I would take the pain of losing you a 100 times, if it meant having you as my dad even for one second. Life is dark without you dad,” she wrote. “You were the cutest most loving dad, who’d come home after a gig and wait to come lie down and give us cuddles. I miss you, I miss eating with you, I miss our laughing sessions, I miss our secret snacking rituals in the kitchen, I miss our farting competitions, I miss showing you my music and little voice note ideas, I miss your reaction dad. I miss holding your hand.”
“You made us feel so safe and happy and loved and lucky. You were the realness this world needed, and now that you’re gone, none of it feels real. But your unconditional love has unknowingly prepared us to handle, even something like this. Your love is our strength,” Taamara added.
“Happy Father’s Day to the bestestest dad in the whole universe Love you forever miss you everyday, umma, I know you’re here with us,” she concluded the post.

Not too long ago, Sai Pallavi, who was promoting the Rana Daggubati starrer Virata Parvam, was caught in a web of a controversy after her statements were trolled by netizens. The actress had spoken about the famous film The Kashmir Files and had compared it to the cow lynching incident that happened during COVID-19 asking how the two incidents were different. Followed by her statement, many users online started trolling her and it also lead to reports claiming that an FIR was filed against the actress for her statement. However, Sai has now taken to social media to clarify her stand.
Sai Pallavi took to Instagram to share a video of her clarifying on the statement and also added that her words were misinterpreted. She also stood by the fact that she believes that violence in the name of religion will always be a sin. She said, “This is the first time I will be thinking twice before I speak my heart because I am anxious that my words might be misinterpreted.” She also added that she had spoken to the director of The Kashmir Files (Vivek Agnihotri) about his film and how it left her quite disturbed. Maintaining that she would never demean any tragedy like that. In the same breath, she also maintained her stance adding that she can never forget the mob lynching incident either.
Sai stated in the video, “This was three months ago, I remember telling him that I was disturbed, seeing the plight of the people at that time. And being someone that I am, I would never belittle tragedy, like the genocide and the generations of people who are still affected by it. Having said that, I can never come to terms with the mob lynching incident, that has taken place during our COVID times; because I remember seeing that video and being shaken.” She went to add, “I believe that violence in any form is wrong. And violence in the name of any religion is should sin.”
That was not, Sai also spoke up about how people continued to defend the mob incident. She added, “It was very disturbing to see that many people online, justify the mob lynching incident, and I don’t think any of us have the right to take another person’s life.”
She expressed gratitude towards everyone who supported her through this tough times. “I would like to take this opportunity to thank the people who stood by me the last few days because I remember feeling so alone and conflicted wondering what I did wrong, and it was heartwarming to see that a lot of people raise your voice in my in support of me and I felt like they knew me for who I am. So thank you so much for making me feel like I wasn’t alone,” she concluded.

While he is riding high on the success of his last hit Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, we at Bollywood Hungama exclusively caught up with Anees Bazmee about the success as well as to talk about his forthcoming projects. The filmmaker spoke in length on the development of No Entry sequel which has been in news for quite some time now. Not too long ago, we had reported that Salman Khan is planning to start with the film with Anil Kapoor and Fardeen Khan by the end of this year. Remembering about how he had narrated the script to a group of 25 people at Boney Kapoor’s house, Anees Bazmee discussed their reactions after listening to the film.
In an exclusive interview with Bollywood Hungama, Anees Bazmee discussed about No Entry sequel saying, “Boney saab ne ek baar kahan tha, ghar aajao ek baar Sriji (Sridevi ji) ko bhi kahaani sunado, toh maine kahan teek hai. Jab ghar pahunch, toh 20-25, 50 log baite hue hain. Maine pucha, ‘yeh kya hai’ toh unhone kahan sab apne hi log hai, koi distributor hai, koi financer hai, sab filmy log hai.” (Transl: Once when I met Boney Sir, he asked me to come home to narrate the script to Sridevi ji. When I reached his place, I was standing there in front of a group of 20 to 25, possibly 50 people. I was quite shocked but Boney Sir assured me that they are all filmy people, some are distributors, financers etc.)
While the filmmaker was shocked to see so many, he explained why it was difficult for him to narrate the script to so many. He added, “Narration ka kya hai na, aap itne logon se saath kar nahi sakte, eye contact nahi ho paata. Aur meri aadat hai ki jab main narrate kar raha hoon, toh main aapke aankhon mein dekh kar yeh samajhne ki koshish karta hoon ki appko achha lag raha hai, nahi lag rah hai, ab yeh portion jaldi suna doon, yeh portion main time lagaun, toh 25 logon mein main yahi nahi kar sakta.” (Transl: The reason why the narration can be given to so many people is because it requires eye contact. And I have this habit that when I narrate something I need to retain that eye contact with that person so that I can understand whether they are liking the script, not liking it, whether I should fast forward what I am saying or slow down and explain. But in case of 25 people that is an impossible task.”)
He elaborated, “Phir bhi maine narration kiya aur kareeb 11 baje khatam hua aur uske baad party ka silsila shuru hua. Hum sab Boney saab ke bungalow mein subah ke 5-6 baje tak the. Aur sab bade khush the aur sabne bola yaar kamaal ka script hai. Ek cheez jo kisine bahut achha kia ki woh sab record kar liya. Toh ab main woh recording toh samaj aa jaata hai ki iske baad laughter hai. Waise toh andaza lag jaata hai, par mujhe exact pata lagta hai, kya kam hai, kya zyaada, kya achha hai.” (Transl: Yet I continued the narration and finished around 11 in the night. After that, a small get-together party started and it continued till 5 to 6 in the morning. One good thing was, someone in the gathering happened to record the narration that night. So that was really helpful since it helped me understand what was funny, what instigated the laughter. Although we always have an idea, this helped me understand the exact moment that worked, what was required, what was good etc.)
No Entry sequel, which is also referred to as No Entry 2 or No Entry Mein Entry, will feature Salman Khan, Anil Kapoor, and Fardeen Khan as leading men but new actresses will be roped in for the comedy entertainer.
