Mumbai, Aug 22: Comedian and actor Krushna Abhishek used social media to express his excitement about uncle Govinda’s son Yashvardhan Ahuja film debut.

Krushna took to his official Instagram Stories and wrote, “Apne bhai ki picture aa rahi hain… so excited @ahuja_yashwardan (sic).” He also tagged his aunt Sunita Ahuja, who will also be making her Bollywood debut alongside her son Yashvardhan.

Yashvardhan is all set to step into Bollywood with the forthcoming horror-comedy ‘Hero Ki Horrorine’. Made under the direction of Sajid Khan, the project is expected to be out in the cinema halls on January 7, 2027.

Yashvardhan has been paired opposite Nitanshi Goel in his first Bollywood movie, with his mother Sunita also playing his on-screen mother.

In addition to this, Jamie Lever, Chunky Pandey, Brijendra Kala, and Simrat Kaur Randhawa are also expected to be a part of the movie’s core cast. Further details regarding the film are still under wraps.

On the personal front, Sunita recently withdrew her divorce case against Govinda.

Sunita was captured by the shutterbugs at the Bandra family court in Mumbai with her son, Yashvardhan.

As media contacted Govinda’s manager Shashi Sinha, he confirmed that Sunita had taken back the divorce petition filed against the actor.

He told media, “The petition Sunita ji had filed in the court earlier; she had gone to withdraw it.”

Recently, Sunita had made some serious allegations against Govinda regarding his alleged relationship with the young actress Komal Rani Swarnkar.

In response, Govinda also uploaded a video on social media, warning Sunita to be mindful of her language.

The ‘Partner’ actor asked her to refrain from making statements that could be harmful to his reputation.

Govinda and Sunita tied the knot in March 1987. However, they kept their marriage under wraps until their daughter Tina was born in 1988.

Television actress Shweta Tiwari has spoken out against the abuse women face on social media after allegedly receiving derogatory messages from people she claimed were supporters of Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief Raj Thackeray.

Taking to her Instagram Stories, the ‘Kasautii Zindagi Kay’ actress shared a series of lengthy notes addressing what she described as the “deeply concerning” and “unfortunately very common” practice of using abusive language against women online. Shweta began by questioning how men from different backgrounds, including those who are educated and come from respectable families, could feel comfortable using degrading language against women. She pointed out that many of these men have mothers, wives, daughters, and sisters, yet still resort to such abuse online.

Shweta then alleged that some of the people abusing her were supporters of Raj Thackeray or his party. Reflecting on her connection with Maharashtra, she said she had spent her entire life in the state and had grown up believing that Marathi culture valued the dignity and strength of women.

The actress wrote, “Today I want to talk about something that is both deeply concerning and unfortunately very common on social media: calling a woman: r. Any woman. Of any age. From any profession. Any man from any background can come online and call a woman r. And what shocks me is that these men are not necessarily uneducated or from troubled backgrounds. Many of them are educated, seemingly come from respectible families, have wives, mothers, daughters and sisters. And yet feel completely comfortable using the most degrading word they can think of for another woman.” (sic)

The ‘Mere Dad Ki Dulhan’ actress added, “And I thought how do you go home to that family after speaking to another woman like this? Apparently he is also a supporter of Raj Thackeray or his party. And that brings me to something very personal. I have lived in Maharashtra all my life. My father was brought up in Mumbai. All my life I have grown up seeing the pride and dignity attached to being a Marathi maanus… I grew up believing that Marathi culture respected women, their strength and their dignity.”

“So when I see people who proudly identify as Marathi maanus coming into women’s DMs and calling them r****, I genuinely have to ask: Is this what being a Marathi maanus has come to mean? Raj Thackeray, if people like this are your supporters, then I would genuinely like to know, do you believe this is acceptable behaviour? Because speaking Marathi, calling yourself a Marathi manus or claiming to love Maharashtra is not enough.”

Shweta Tiwari concluded writing, “Because a woman doesn’t lose her dignity just because you don’t know her. And she certainly doesn’t deserve to be called r**** simply becaue you disagree with her, dislike her or feel entitled to abuse her. Respect women not only the women you love but women. Period.” (sic)

Earlier, Shweta had made headlines after she shared a video claiming that she found a cockroach in a Red Bull can ordered through Instamart. “We ordered Red Bull from Instamart, and we also received a cockroach with that,” she said.
