Kareena Kapoor Khan, who was last seen in Aamir Khan, Mona Singh, and Nagarjuna starrer Laal Singh Chaddha has begun shooting for her next film. The actress recently travelled to London with her son Jeh in order to film Hansal Mehta’s crime thriller, one of the exciting projects she has lined up.

After receiving a day off from filming, Kareena chose to spend it with Jeh. In the photos, they can be seen admiring the surroundings, taking in the fall foliage, playing in the park, and standing in front of trees while wearing cosy winter attire. The actor made the most of fall in an all-black ensemble, showcasing her role as the trendiest mother in town. She wore a loose-fitting, grey denim shirt with full sleeves, front buttons, and a collared neckline and curved hem. The shirt was worn by Kareena over a high-neck knit sweater and a pair of joggers with a gathered hem and a baggy fit. Kareena Kapoor’s ensemble was finished off by a black puffer jacket with half sleeves and a high collar and short hem.

Kareena choose black leather Chelsea boots and tinted sunglasses for her accessories. Ultimately, a sleek ponytail, pink lip colour with glossy finish, healthy-looking skin, rosy blush, and no makeup completed the look.

Sisters’ day out
In addition to younger son Jehangir, Kareena is now joined by her sister Karisma Kapoor. On their day out, Kareena and Karisma decided to kill it together. Kareena shared a couple visuals of the Kapoor sisters taking a mirror selfie together in a post. The stars wore animal-printed fur jackets and looked as stunning as ever. Kareena looked stunning in a short, black dress with turtleneck accents. She layered it with a fur jacket with an animal design and knee-high boots. Karisma, on the other hand, opted for a similar outfit and enhanced her appearance with a diamond necklace. Kareena and Karisma appeared relaxed in black sling bags. Another picture shows the sisters standing next to each other while they apply their own makeup. The actors can be seen taking a mirror selfie while shopping in another segment. While Kareena poses in the background clutching a pile of clothing while wearing a black turtleneck jacket and tinted sunglasses, Karisma can be seen rocking casual winter looks in a pair of wide-leg, black full-sleeved jacket and blue jeans. “What sisters do when they have the day together. Pose, makeup, shop, repeat,” Kareena captioned her pictures.

Vicky Kaushal starrer Govinda Naam Mera to release directly on OTT

After Kartik Aaryan starrer Freddy, another much-anticipated Bollywood film will release directly on OTT. Bhumi Pednekar, Vicky Kaushal, and Kiara Advani starrer Govinda Naam Mera will release on a streaming platform. However, the makers have not revealed any details of its streaming partner and release date.

Given that Govinda Naam Mera sold to Star Network for Rs. 62 crores, it is crystal clear that the upcoming flick will be streamed on Disney+ Hotstar. In August this year, Bollywood Hungama had reported about the deal. A source close to the development had told us, “It’s a comic entertainer, but not exactly a film that’s ideal for the big screen in today’s world. Hence, the makers decided on a direct-to-digital premiere.”

The source had further added that the satellite and digital rights have been sold to Star Network for Rs 62 crore. Giving details of the same, the source had explained, “the digital rights are valued at Rs. 42 crores and the satellite rights at Rs. 20 crores. The initial market expectation of Dharma Productions for Govinda Naam Mera was Rs. 80 crores, but the buyers were not too keen to spend such a big amount on the film. Finally, the deal was locked at Rs. 62 crores.”

Concluding the same, the source told us, “the budget of the film is equal to the revenue fetched. The team is now in a no profit no loss zone, which is still better than entailing losses in today’s world.”

It is worth mentioning here that, Govinda Mera Naam is the fifth film produced by Dharma Production to skip theatres after Drive, Gunjan Saxena, Shershaah and Gehraiyaan.

Shilpa Shetty is a sight to behold in an Anand Kabra black & gold saree worth Rs. 91

In the three decades since she stepped into the movie industry, Shilpa Shetty Kundra has carved a niche for herself in more arenas than one, ranging from fitness to entrepreneurship. Her unique fashion vocabulary, though, is what really distinguishes her as a name to watch. Shilpa Shetty Kundra adores wearing ethnic clothing. The actor frequently chooses intricate lehenga sets, colourful saris with a twist, or anarkalis with a dramatic flair, whether it’s for a television appearance or a festival. But sarees appear to have a special place in her closet. The 46-year-old has been spotted wearing a variety of sarees lately, including a silk brocade one, a ruffled one, and a sparkly one.

Shilpa Shetty supports sarees in their traditional form. We can’t stop staring at her in her most recent outfit, which is black and gold with plenty of shine. Shilpa Shetty Kundra has gone all desi and has done a great job of delivering a contemporary classic finish; the way the saree was draped suggested something extremely fashionable. You might get a brand-new saree and dress in it to emulate the Nikamma actress for added glamour. Shilpa’s saree by designer Anand Kabra had two emphasised fabric blends: chiffon and silk, which each individually gave comfort and shine. The sequin and beaded embroidery on the Rs. 91,100 desi number was visible through the patterns created on it. It featured long, golden fringes around the hem that did actually seem loud and party-like.

The actress wore a strappy, orange-red blouse with a halter neck and a black design underneath her saree to offer a splash of colour. A choker necklace, gold kadas, stud earrings, a ring, and a bracelet completed her ensemble as accessories. The actor adopted a natural look for makeup with a dewy base, gentle smoky eyes, and caramel lips. Her hair was blow-dried into soft curls. Her saree will be ideal for your sangeet if you’re still choosing your wedding attire.

Meanwhile, on the work front, Shilpa will be next seen in film Sukhee alongside Amit Sadh.

SUMMARY OF THE LOOK DETAILS:

ACTRESS: Shilpa Shetty

OUTFIT: Anand Kabra

STYLIST: Chandani Mehta

JEWELLERY: Razwad Jewels
