Actor and BJP leader Kangana Ranaut is leading from the Mandi Lok Sabha seat in Himachal Pradesh in her electoral debut, and she took her mother’s blessing on the election 2024 results day.

In a video posted by ANI, Kangana said that she will continue serving the people of her constituency. “Mandi has not taken kindly to the insults for daughters. As far as my departure to Mumbai is concerned, this (Himachal Pradesh) is my 'janmabhoomi' and I will continue to serve people here...So, I am not going anywhere. Perhaps, someone else will have to pack their bags and leave. I am not going anywhere,” Kangana said.

I abide by the high command’s decision on contesting the Lok Sabha polls. I feel honoured and elated to officially join the party. I look forward to being a worthy karyakarta and a reliable public servant. Thanks,” Kangana had written in a social media post on March 24, after her candidature was announced.

Heeramandi season 2 confirmed! sanjay leela bhansali says the tawaifs now come to film world - details inside

It's been a month, but the world is still hooked to Netflix and the grandeur that the streaming giant offered on May 1, thanks to Sanjay Leela Bhansali. The foray of the master filmmaker into the streaming world with Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar has turned out to be epic because the world has surrendered to the opulence of the story and everything else that stands in between the two in the magnum opus show. Upon its release, the show, led by Manisha Koirala and a list of strong female actors, managed to climb to the top of every streaming list, and the viewership that the streamer enjoyed was insane. But now, what if we tell you that the tale of Heeramandi continues? Netflix has just confirmed the second season of the magnum opus. 

Heeramandi Season 2 Confirmed

Yes, you read that right. According to a Variety report, Netflix has now confirmed the second season of Heeramandi, and the franchise with Sanjay Leela Bhansali at the helm continues. Even the maverick filmmaker spoke to the portal, and the announcement was made in Mumbai at an event on Carter Road, where 100 dancers dressed in Heeramandi-inspired costumes danced to the songs from the show. By the end of the performance, they revealed the announcement that the show had been renewed for a second season. Read on to know more.

Talking to the publication about Heeramandi season 2, Sanjay Leela Bhansali said, “It takes a lot to make a series. This one has taken a lot. After Gangubai [Berlinale title Gangubai Kathiawadi] was released in February 2022, from that to now every single day I have worked without a break. So the responsibility is huge on the series.”

Talking about the storyline of Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar season 2, he added, “In Heeramandi 2, the women now come from Lahore to the film world. They leave Lahore after the partition, and most of them settle in the Mumbai film industry or Kolkata film industry. So that journey in the bazaar remains the same. They still have to dance and sing, but this time for the producers and not for the nawabs. So that’s the second season we are planning, let’s see where it goes.”

About Heeramandi

Starring Manisha Koirala, Richa Chadha, Aditi Rao Hydari, Sanjeeda Shaikh, Sharmin Sehgal, and more, the show is created and directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali. It tells the story of the courtesans of pre-partition Lahore and their rule over Heeramandi. The show explores the themes of love, rebellion, and independence through eight episodes.

No release date is attached to Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar Season 2. 

Did natasa stankovic unarchive wedding pics with hardik pandya amid divorce rumours?

For weeks now, there has been speculation that Serbian model and actor Natasa Stankovic, who quit Bollywood after marrying cricketer Hardik Pandya, has split from her husband. Recently, a Reddit post about her name change on Instagram, absence from Hardik's IPL 2024 matches and removal of wedding photos from social media caught attention. Now, it appears, Natasa has restored photos of herself and Hardik.

Natasa Stankovic adds back wedding pics

Natasa Stankovic and Hardik Pandya married on May 31, 2020, and welcomed their first child, son Agastya, on July 30 of the same year. They renewed their wedding vows in the presence of close friends and family on February 14, 2023, in Udaipur, Rajasthan, in a grand celebration.

Pictures of their pre-wedding ceremonies and big day are now back on Natasa's Instagram feed. Recently, many on social media have noticed that some photos of Hardik and her were missing from her Instagram.

More about the post that fuelled divorce rumours

Recently, a Reddit post – 'Natasa and Hardik separated?' – grabbed attention. It said that Natasa had dropped Hardik’s surname on Instagram and that the two have not been posting pictures with each other. The post also questioned Natasa’s absence from Hardik's IPL 2024 matches.

A Redditor had posted, “This is just a speculation. But both of them aren't posting each other on stories (Instagram Stories). Earlier, Natasa used to have Natasa Stankovic Pandya on her Instagram, but now she completely removed his name. Her birthday was on 4th March, and there was no post from Hardik on that day; she also removed all recent posts of her and Hardik except the one where Agastya was with them. Also, she isn't seen in stands this IPL or post stories regarding the team. While Krunal and Pankhuri still comment on her posts, but something is definitely off between both of them.”

Earlier, the Serbian model and actor was trolled for Hardik's performance in IPL 2024. Natasa's Instagram posts were flooded with insults and derogatory remarks against her over Mumbai Indians' poor start in IPL.

Salman khan targeted again - four arrested in lawrence bishnoi gang's conspiracy to kill actor at panvel farmhouse

About a month ago, Salman Khan's residence in Bandra was attacked by two people who fired gunshots at the superstar's house. Now, another incident took place at the actor's Panvel farmhouse, and Navi Mumbai police revealed that this was another attempt by the same gang who planned to attack the actor when he was en route to his farmhouse. 

Salman Khan targeted again

Gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, who was responsible for the gunshots is said to be involved in this case as well. The criminal has been keeping Salman Khan on his radar since the Blackbuck case that took place in Rajasthan in 1998 during the shooting of Hum Saath Saath Hain. The actor has been allegedly receiving threats from him for quite some time now. 

The police informed that nearly 16-17 people were involved in the Navi Mumbai operation which has now failed where they were conducting a recce at Panvel in February this year. 

“We have made four arrests in the case. The accused had been plotting to target the actor for a long time and had stayed in Panvel to conduct recce,” Deputy Commissioner of Police Vivek Pansare said.

Speaking about the Mumbai attack, Vivek said, “Bishnoi has several groups working independently of each other and we suspect one gang was conducting recce in Panvel while the other was in Mumbai.”

If we go by the FIR, Nitin Thakre, Panvel's Senior Inspector received a tip-off that the gang members of Bishnoi were camping in Panvel to conduct a recce. Those arrested by the Navi Mumbai Police have been identified as Dhananjay Tapesingh alias Ajay Kashyap, Gaurav Bhatia alias Nahvi, Vapsi Khan alias Waseem Chikna and Rizwan Khan.

According to the authorities, Ajay Kashayp also contacted Dogar, a person residing in Pakistan so he could buy the AK-47s that could be used in the assault. The police revealed that the accused was supposed to go into hiding after the incident and reunite in Kanyakumari, from where they were supposed to reach Sri Lanka. 

According to an officer, the four suspected people who are now in custody are being questioned to see if they are connected to the Bandra incident. The Mumbai Crime Branch has arrested six accused in the Bandra case.
