Mother’s Pride: Neetu Kapoor wants to work with Ranbir and Alia
Veteran actress Neetu Kapoor, who has been applauded for her performance in her comeback film ‘Jugjugg Jeeyo’, says working with her son and Bollywood superstar Ranbir Kapoor alongside Alia Bhatt would be her ultimate dream-come-true.
Asked if she is critical of Ranbir and her daughter-in-law Alia’s work and Neetu told IANS: “Well, I do not look at Ranbir’s work as a mother but as an audience. So yes, I am critical and have my share of honest feedback with him. But it is also true that my son is a really good actor, there is hardly a bad performance Ranbir had so far. Even when he acts in silence (referring to ‘Barfi!’) he is wonderful, isn’t he? And no, it is not a mom speaking but an audience.”
She went on adding, “I said it on Alia’s face that I really do not know what is the next milestone of her performance she would achieve after what she delivered in ‘Gangubai Kathiawadi’. I am sure she will, but for me, it was the ultimate Alia Bhatt performance. So, as an audience, I am excited to know how she can break her own benchmark of performance as an actor!”
While the veteran actress is choosing to work wisely, she mentioned how her interest is more into working with good directors.
“It is important to collaborate with good directors, young minds, especially those who can challenge me to push my limit as an actress. I won’t mind doing a mother’s role on-screen but if only it is written with substance if only it is impacting the narrative. And at the same time, I as an actress can play any role, even a woman in uniform or a romantic story of an elderly couple. The actress in me is looking for a challenge,” she said.
Post the release of ‘Jugjugg Jeeyo’ Neetu is planning to take a break before gearing up for her next.
“I am working on a film but the announcement is yet to happen so I am sorry that I cannot reveal much. I think we will start shooting for it in October. I also agreed to do a web series that is in the process of writing. Again, too early to share details. I will work on these two projects as of now. But before that, I will take a vacation…I am slowly coming back to my grove,” shared the yesteryear heroine.
As she is quizzed who the actors she wishes to work with from the younger generation and Neetu promptly replied, “It would be a dream come true if I get a chance to work with Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt. I am manifesting it! Ye alag baat hai ke dono mere bachche hai, lekin superstar bhi toh hai na? (giggles)”
‘Jugjugg Jeeyo’, also starring Varun Dhawan, Kiara Advani, Anil Kapoor, Manish Pual, Prajukta Kohli, is running in theatres.

Stree 2 Actor Mushtaq Khan Kidnapped & Tortured For 12 Hours, Escapes After Hearing Azaan Where He Was Held Captive
Days after comedian Sunil Pal was kidnapped near Meerut, actor Mushtaq Khan has revealed that he too was kidnapped in a similar fashion on November 20. The actor’s business partner stated that Khan was tortured for 12 hours before he could escape.
Khan’s business partner Shivam Yadav stated that the actor was called for an award show in Meerut on November 20. He even received the advance payment in his bank account and flight ticket details. However, when the Stree 2 actor landed in Delhi, he was made to sit in a car, which was then driven to the outskirts of Delhi, near Bijnor, and the actor was kidnapped.
The report stated that the Welcome actor was kidnapped and tortured for 12 hours, and the kidnappers demanded a ransom of Rs 1 crore. They then took Rs 2 lakh from the actor and his son’s account.
The next morning, Khan heard azaan at the place where he was held captive, and realising that a mosque was nearby, he managed to run away from the place and reached the mosque. He then sought help from the people there, who contacted the police, and Khan managed to return home.
Yadav said that they are now in the process of filing an FIR and they have all the proofs of flight tickets, bank account transactions and CCTV footage from outside Delhi airport. “Khan also recognises the neigbhourhood, even the house where he was kept. I think the police team will surely get the culprits soon,” he said.
It was only last week that comedian Sunil Pal was invited for an event in Delhi, but was then kidnapped and taken to Meerut. He was eventually let go after he paid a ransom of Rs 7.5 lakh.

‘Stand Up For Your Worth’: Aishwarya Rai Makes Strong Statement Amid Divorce Rumours With Abhishek Bachchan
Bollywood’s OG queen, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, shared a hard-hitting video message for her fans on social media on Monday, in which she advised women to stand up for themselves and never compromise their worth because of someone else’s actions. This comes amid reports of trouble in her marriage with actor Abhishek Bachchan.
Aishwarya took to her Instagram to share a video, in which she can be heard saying, “Street harassment, how to deal with it? Avoid eye contact? No. Look the problem directly in the eyes. Hold your head high. Feminine and feminist. My body, my worth.”
She went on to say, “Never compromise your worth. Do not doubt yourself. Stand up for your worth. Don’t blame your dress or your lipstick. Street harassment is never your fault.”
The video was a part of her campaign for the brand, L’oreal Paris, on the occasion of International Day for Elimination of Violence Against Women.
Aishwarya has been all over the news of late due to rumours of her separation with Abhishek Bachchan. Reports about trouble in their paradise have been doing the rounds for a while now, and their recent solo appearances have only added fuel to the fire.
Things further escalated when Abhishek did not wish both Aishwarya, and their daughter Aaradhya, on their birthdays on social media, while he did it for other members in the his family. He was even missing at Aaradhya’s birthday bash and the other Bachchans too did not participate in it.
Not just that, but a few days ago, rumour mills went abuzz with claims that Abhishek had an extramarital affair with his Dasvi co-star Nimrat Kaur, which is the reason why Aishwarya decided to step back from the marriage.
The couple has, however, maintained radio silence on their equation, which is one of the most-talked-about topic in the nation right now.
