Rashmika mandanna claims she 'escaped death today', animal actress shares dramatic moments on instagram

Actor Rashmika Mandanna seemed to have had a harrowing experience during her recent air travel. The flight she was travelling in seemed to have suffered some technical glitches, leading to a distressing situation mid-air for her and her co-passenger.

Rashmika Mandanna's harrowing flight experiance

However, no untoward incidents occurred, and all passengers, including Rashmika Mandanna, landed safely. After the incident, Rashmika took to her Instagram account and shared a picture of herself with her co-passenger, Shraddha Das. In the photo, both Rashmika's and Shraddha's legs are pressed against the front of their seats, seemingly bracing for impact. She captioned the Instagram story, "Just FYI, this is how we escaped death today."

According to reports, Rashmika and Shraddha boarded a flight to Hyderabad from the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport in Mumbai. About 30 minutes after takeoff, the flight developed an issue, forcing the pilot to return to Mumbai and putting all passengers in a tense situation.

Rashmika Mandanna's thriving acting career

On the career front, Rashmika has become one of the most sought-after actresses across the Indian film industry. While she made her screen debut in Kannada with Kirik Party in 2016, she went on to achieve great fame in other South Indian film industries too.

Rashmika became a household name, thanks to her performance in Telugu superstar Allu Arjun's pan-India hit, Pushpa: The Rise. She also shared screen space in Tamil superstar Thalapathy Vijay's last year blockbuster Varisu.

However, she caught the imagination of the movie buffs worldwide following the blockbuster success of Animal . Written and directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, Animal starred Ranbir Kapoor in the lead role.

Animal narrates the story of the protagonist with an unresolved father issue going on a rampage, ruthlessly killing enemies of his father. The movie is now streaming on Netflix.

Rashmika is also busy shooting for Pushpa: The Rule, which is sequel to director Sukumar's 2021 drama Pushpa.

Not ranveer singh but this actor was almost finalized for band baaja baaraat opposite anushka sharma

Ranveer Singh is currently making headlines because he is reported to start shooting for Shaktimaan after wrapping up Don 3. Although the actor is bagging projects back-to-back today, there was a time he wasn’t even the first choice for his debut film Band Baaja Baaraat. Of course, later, when Ranveer actually acted in the movie opposite Anushka Sharma, he received all the accolades and it paved way for all the kind of movies he was about to be offered. Ranveer was actually a replacement in the YRF film, for another actor, who is considered Ranveer’s biggest competitor even today, was offered the role.

Who was offered the role?

None other than Ranbir Kapoor was the original choice for Band Baajaa Baaraat. Back on Koffee With Karan 4, the actor even confessed that he regrets turning down the offer.

Karan advised Aditya Chopra against casting Ranveer

On the third season of the show, Karan revealed that he had advised Aditya Chopra of YRF films. He recalled seeing Ranveer with a group of assistant directors and being unable to distinguish him from the ADs. Karan then questioned Aditya’s choice and Anushka passed one comment – ouch. Aditya defended Ranveer back then saying he is a good actor and after watching Ranveer in Band Baaja Baaraat, Karan also ended up calling him ‘a movie star.’

The buzz with Ranveer and Don 3

Ranveer will replace the OG Mukesh Khanna in Shaktimaan. This is after replacing Shah Rukh Khan in the Don franchise. Right after Don 2 released, people were almost certain that SRK will reprise the role, for nobody can play the part better than him (except maybe the original actor, Amitabh Bachchan). However, Farhan Akhtar took everybody by surprise (a rude shock according to them) when he announced that not SRK but Ranveer will be the leading face of Don 3. We wonder how will netizens react when Ranveer actually ends up playing Shaktimaan on screen too.

Fans love the look

Husband-to-be, filmmaker Jackky Bhagnani dropped a like on her post but shied away from leaving a comment. Her fans, however, showered her with compliments.

“Mat karo shadi yaar (Don't get married),” said a fan with crying emojis. Another person wrote, “She's the prettiest actress right now... U can't convince me otherwise.” “There is no one is better than you in the whole film industry. you are the most beautiful and gorgeous,” read another comment.

Jackky also shared a picture of his own look for the night. He wore a black velvet kurta with asymmetrical hemline and black pants.

About the wedding

Reportedly, the couple's 'green' wedding preparations include digital invites to save paper waste, a prohibition on fireworks, and a pledge to plant trees to offset their event's carbon footprint.

The wedding celebrations will go on for three days, beginning on February 19, with the major ceremony on February 21. The pair, according to sources, has hired carbon footprint specialists to guarantee that their big day is environmentally friendly.

These specialists will evaluate the impact of the wedding celebrations and advise Singh and Bhagnani on how many trees should be planted to offset their carbon footprint.The couple intends to participate in the tree-planting effort shortly after their wedding vows are exchanged.

What’s cooking? abhishek kumar and ayesha khan share intimate photos with one another

Abhishek Kumar and Ayesha Khan have shared intimate photos with one another just a day after they made a reel on Saanware. The two are seen holding hands and getting touchy-touchy in their Instagram stories. This happens soon after news about AbhiZaadi aka Abhishek Kumar and KhanZaadi breaks. Was Abhishek and Ayesha’s post a hint at a new collaboration or a confirmation that they are out of the friendzone? That is one question everybody has.

The posts

Ayesha took to Instagram to share a photo of her holding the hand of a man. She was seen in a red lipstick and he was seen with a white watch. On observing closely, one can also see Abhishek’s beaded bracelet. Meanwhile, Abhishek’s Instagram story was about a girl touching his shoulder. She had a red nail paint, which is exactly what Ayesha was seen wearing.

What about AbhiZaadi

AbhiZaadi fans were in for a rude surprise. KhanZaadi stopped following Abhishek Kumar on Instagram, hinting that all is not well between them. This happened around the time of Abhishek’s cryptic post. The story spoke about his never-dying love for someone. Abhishek did not name anybody but the post was assumed to be for Isha, who, it is speculated, might have broken up with Samarth Jurel.

The Ayesha Khan connection

Ayesha is Munawar Faruqui’s ex. She became friends with Abhishek on Bigg Boss 17 through Munawar. Now, seeing Abhishek and Ayesha’s posts, fans are not very happy with Abhishek, for they feel he could have backstabbed Munawar. Nonetheless, Munawar continues to support Abhishek through everything, which was evident through his posts and praises for Saanware. More than Mannara Chopra, Munawar showed appreciation towards Abhishek after the music video’s release. For the uninitiated, Munawar himself has recently shot for a music video. He will be seen in the single with Hina Khan. Munawar and Hina shot for the same in Kolkata and were seen holding hands when coming back from Kolkata airport to Mumbai airport.
