Actress Anushka Sen opened up about representing India on a global platform after being named the country’s Global Brand Ambassador for the 2026 Newport Beach Film Festival.

Reflecting on the honor, she said, “Our stories deserve to be heard across the world,” emphasizing the importance of bringing Indian stories and talent to international audiences. Speaking about the appointment, Anushka said, “Being named the Global Ambassador representing India at the Newport Beach Film Festival is a moment that means more to me than words can express. For me, this is about so much more than a title; it is about the stories we carry, the boundaries we break, and the doors we open for those who come after us.”

Emphasizing the importance of believing in one’s roots and ambitions, she added, “India has incredible talent and stories that deserve to be heard across the world. I want every young Indian to know that you don’t have to fit into a certain mold to make your country proud. Where you come from can be your greatest strength, and your dreams should never be limited by your circumstances.”

Anushka, who continues to explore opportunities across international entertainment, hopes her journey encourages more young Indians to pursue their ambitions and represent the country on global platforms.

“I feel incredibly fortunate to be experiencing this, and I hope more young Indians get the chance to represent our country on global platforms. If my journey can encourage someone to believe in themselves and take a step towards their dreams, that would mean a lot to me,” she shared.

“For me, the real achievement is seeing Indian talent find its place on the global stage. I feel truly proud to represent my country, and I hope to make this moment count for something bigger than myself,” Anushka further explained.

Anushka Sen has been named the Global Ambassador representing India at the 2026 Newport Beach Film Festival. The recognition comes after Anushka became the only Indian to debut in a Korean film project, “Jeju Olle.”

Ever since making his debut on Instagram on October 11th this year, Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan has been extremely active on the platform. However, as the ‘Hum Tum’ actor appeared on ‘The Great Kapil Sharma Show’, with wife Kareena Kapoor, he learned that you cannot earn from Instagram, and his reaction is extremely relatable.

During the episode, Archana Puran Singh told Saif, “You can’t earn on Instagram, but you can earn a lot on YouTube.”

Surprised by the latest finding, the ‘Omkara’ actor asked, “I can’t earn on Instagram?” “Why am I doing this?,” he went on to add.

Kareena interjected, saying, “You stressed me out.”

“You can’t earn on Instagram? You told me I can,” Saif asked Bebo.

Kareena assured her husband. “We’ll figure it out,” Bebo shared.

Both Saif and Kareena shared several such fun moments during the entertaining episode.

Saif made a hilarious revelation that he has been attending the Parent-teacher meeting in the same school since the age of 20.

The ‘Dil Chahta Hai’ actor pointed out that he has had 4 children of different ages, all studying in the same school.

Saif even joked that he attended his first PTA in that school when he was only 20 years old and now, he continues to go to the same school even at the age of 55. He added that even the teachers of the school have now changed.

Archana Puran Singh asked Saif and Kareena, “Who goes to school in a parent-teacher meeting?”

Showing his usual sense of humour, Saif shared, “First of all, I have four children in that school, at different ages. When I was 20 years old, I went for my first PTA meeting. Then I was 30 years old. I am still standing in the same school at 55. And now, even the teachers there have changed.”

Actor Suniel Shetty has expressed concern over the firing incident involving actor Tiger Shroff, saying that such an incident could happen to anyone.

Reacting to the incident, Suniel told the media, “Tiger or Jackie Dada, I think the whole world loves them. And if something like this can happen to them, then it can happen to anyone. It shouldn’t happen. Suniel also spoke about Tiger’s disciplined lifestyle, pointing out that the actor remained focused on sports and exercise. “Tiger only focuses on sports, only exercise, and is dedicated to that. Don’t know why it happened. It shouldn’t happen, and it is very important for us to stay safe,” he added.

Sharing his personal connection with Jackie, Suniel described the veteran actor as his childhood friend and expressed hope that everything would be fine. “I will only say that for me, you know, Jackie Dada is my childhood friend, and I just wish that everything is fine,” he said.

Suniel Shetty, who shares a longstanding friendship with Jackie Shroff and a warm bond with Tiger Shroff, voiced his concern over the firing incident involving the actor.

The day after the incident, Jackie attended the naming ceremony of Sangeetkar Bappi Lahiri Marg in Mumbai, where Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis was also present. Suniel attended the event as well and spoke to the media as he left.

Several members of the film industry, including Amaal Mallik, Mika Singh, Vidyut Jammwal, Shatrughan Sinha, and Ravi Kishan, have also spoken out following the incident. Some called for enhanced security for the actor.

On October 18, a few hours after the firing, actor Disha Patani and Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde arrived at Tiger’s Mumbai residence to inquire about his well-being.

The firing incident took place outside a football club near Pushpa Narsee Park in Mumbai’s Juhu area. Tiger Shroff escaped without injuries, while his driver and an autorickshaw driver were reportedly injured.
