Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Kapoor’s daughter Riddhima Kapoor Sahni recently made her screen debut with the reality show Bollywood Wives vs Fabulous Lives. She shares a close bond with her brother Ranbir Kapoor, who made a cameo in the first episode to support Ridhhima. Now, in a recent interview, Riddhima opened up about her family members and spoke about the bond she shares with her sister-in-law, Alia Bhatt.

Talking about making Alia a part of their family, she said, “We are very comfortable being around each other. We give them their space. We don’t call them up every single day. She makes a lot of effort… with the family. We love her, we are there for her anytime. So, this happened very naturally, this love. Nothing was forced upon me. It is a very natural bonding.”

During the interview, Alia shared a voice message for Riddhima where she said, “If there’s anybody who has all the khabar (news) in the world, that’s Riddhima. She casually drops the biggest gossip bombs and all of it usually ends up being true. So, she’s way ahead of all of us, especially her brother. But, she is also the most kindest, loving, generous human being who only has love to give. She is also the most entertaining and fabulous bua (aunt) who has taught Raha all kinds of things. Thanks to you, I am doing ‘Uma Joshi ye ye ye’ almost 20 times a day. I feel very happy and grateful to have you in my life as the most wonderful sister. I won’t say sister-in-law because you are more than that.”

Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor got married in April 2022 and welcomed their daughter Raha in November, of the same year.

Meanwhile, talking Bollywood Wives vs Fabulous Lives, it is the third season of the reality show that focuses on the personal and professional lives of Neelam Kothari Soni, Maheep Kapoor, Bhavana Pandey and Seema Sajdeh.

Aamir Khan is reportedly in conversation with producers Allu Aravind and Madhu Mantena for Ghajini’s sequel. The Hindi version features Aamir while the Tamil version is led by Suriya. New reports suggest that the Hindi and Tamil versions will go into production simultaneously.

Suriya, in conversation with a leading news portal, has confirmed that he will return to lead Ghajini 2. He also shared that he is on board with Allu Aravind’s idea for the upcoming film.

Reports also maintain that Aravind and Mantena want to shoot the films around the same time. Aamir and Suriya expressed concerns over one film releasing before the other and impacting the audiences’ enthusiasm.

It looks like the makers are planning to release the Hindi and Tamil versions of Ghajini 2 on the same day. So far, the scripts for the films have not been finalised. Further details are awaited.

The centre is likely to initiate the process of restoring statehood to Jammu and Kashmir over five years after the region was stripped of its statehood and special status, sources said. Chief Minister Omar Abdullah met Union Home Minister Amit Shah in New Delhi last evening. During the meeting, Mr Shah assured the centre’s full support to the newly elected government, sources said.

“The meeting that lasted half an hour was held in a very cordial atmosphere. The home minister assured the centre’s full support to the newly elected government and to initiate the process of restoration of statehood to Jammu and Kashmir,” sources said.

In its first meeting last week, the J&K cabinet had passed a resolution demanding the restoration of statehood.

“The restoration of statehood will be the beginning of the healing process, reclaiming constitutional rights and protecting the identity of people of Jammu and Kashmir,” said the resolution, which Lt Governor Manoj Sinha cleared.

Mr Abdullah is likely to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi this evening in New Delhi and submit a copy of the resolution.

Besides statehood, the resolution also emphasises on the J&K government’s commitment to protect the identity and constitutional rights of the people of Jammu and Kashmir.

“Protection of Jammu and Kashmir’s unique identity and the constitutional rights of people remain the cornerstone of the newly elected government’s policy,” according to the resolution.

Under the scrapped Articles 370 and 35A, the people of Jammu and Kashmir had exclusive land ownership and job privileges. After the formation of the new government following over six years of President’s rule in J&K, there is a yearning for the restoration of statehood and constitutional safeguards on land and job rights for the locals.

Mr Abdullah’s upcoming meeting with the Prime Minister is being seen as major step in ensuring a smooth functioning of the J&K government as the Lt Governor retains the powers to decide on key matters related to the police and law and order.

The Chief Minister has also made it clear that he doesn’t want any confrontation with the Centre and would work for a constructive relationship with the centre for good governance and development of Jammu and Kashmir.

“Jammu and Kashmir, with its complex security situation and proximity to the border, cannot afford a confrontation between the state government and the centre. I’m looking forward to a constructive relationship in the true spirit of federalism,” Mr Abdullah had said after taking over as the Chief Minister.
