Shraddha Kapoor Celebrates Her Dogs Birthday With The Cutest At-home Moments

Shraddha Kapoor just gave us a dose of pure serotonin and it came with tiny paws and a whole lot of love. The actor recently celebrated her pet dog Small’s birthday. The pictures are as adorable as one would expect.

The cake is a pastel-hued wonder featuring a cute dog illustration. The name Small is written across it. The photos show glimpses of cosy at-home moments with warmth and affection. Shraddha is dressed in a relaxed all-black look. She is seen cuddling Small in multiple frames.

Small seems curious and calm in equal parts. Shraddha’s pet dog is seen soaking in the attention while being cradled and pampered. The bond between the two is unmistakable. It is playful and affectionate. The setting, a sunlit corner of her home, adds to the charm.

On the professional front, Shraddha Kapoor is preparing for Eetha and Stree 3. The Laxman Utekar directorial, Eetha, will star Shraddha, alongside Randeep Hooda.

Remembering The Legendary Filmmaker Satyajit Ray on His Death Anniversary

April 23, 1992, marks the death anniversary of the legendary filmmaker Satyajit Ray. Passed away at the age of 70 due to heart complications. Ray’s exceptional storytelling skills helped Indian cinema to receive international acclaim, as he paved the way for future filmmakers.

Following this, the Editor of Filmfare, Jitesh Pillaai, wrote, “Legend has it that Ray started shooting Pather Panchali (1955) with personal funds in 1952 and continued the process for three years, based on when he or his production manager Anil Chowdhury could raise funds. The film rose to dizzying international acclaim, winning the Best Human Document prize at Cannes. No less a person than Akira Kurosawa described it thus, “I can never forget the excitement in my mind after seeing it. I have had several more opportunities to see the film since then and each time I feel more overwhelmed. It is the kind of cinema that flows with the serenity and nobility of a big river…”

Indeed, Ray became our window to international cinema. His next, Aparajito (1956), won the Golden Lion Award at the Venice Film Festival. Apur Sansar (1959) won the Best Foreign Film Award at the BAFTAs and the Sutherland Trophy at the London Film Festival. The list of awards and trophies that he won are too numerous to be listed here.

What comes to mind is the Lifetime Achievement Oscar, which he received in 1992, at his hospital bed in Kolkata, when he was ill and almost breathing his last. He didn’t lose his wit even then, as seen in his acceptance speech, “Well, it’s an extraordinary experience for me to be here tonight to receive this magnificent award.When I was a small, small school boy, I was terribly interested in cinema. Became a film fan, wrote to Deanna Durbin. Got a reply, was delighted. Wrote to Ginger Rogers, didn’t get a reply. Then of course, I got interested in cinema as an art form, and I wrote a twelve-page letter to Billy Wilder after seeing Double Indemnity. He didn’t reply either. Well, there you are,…I’ve been watching American films very carefully over the years and I loved them for what they entertain, and then later loved them for what they taught.”

Apart from his numerous films like Pather Panchali, Apu Trilogy, Devi, Charulata, Mahanagar, Nayak and many more gems, which taught us about life and about hope and about many facets of truth – his other contribution is introducing a great set of actors. People like Soumitra Chatterjee and Sharmila Tagore, like Jaya Bhaduri, like Aparna Sen… and so many known and unknown actors who scaled new heights because they worked in a Ray film. He wasn’t just a noted filmmaker but was a poet, novelist – his Feluda novels are still read today – a composer, editor, painter, illustrator he’s designed the covers of many books, including Jim Corbett’s Maneaters of Kumaon, and Jawaharlal Nehru’s Discovery of India. In short, he was a true Renaissance Man, the likes of him we sorely miss today.”

Sapne Vs Everyone Season 2 Trailer: Ambrish Verma and Paramvir Singh Cheema Lead High-stakes Drama

The intense trailer of Sapne vs Everyone season two was unveiled today, offering a powerful glimpse into a hard-hitting story of ambition, revenge, and identity unfolding across Mumbai’s film industry and real estate landscape.

Written and directed by Ambrish Verma and produced by Arunabh Kumar and Vijay Koshy under the banner of The Viral Fever, the five-episode series returns with Verma, Paramvir Singh Cheema, and Vijayant Kohli in lead roles. The show also stars Abhishek Chauhan, Nidhi Shah, and Khushali Kumar in pivotal roles.
The trailer for the latest season gives the audience a refresher as it revisits key moments from season one before plunging straight into the chaos that lies ahead.
Set against the backdrop of Mumbai’s film industry and the high-stakes world of real estate, the fast-paced montage captures how every decision comes at the cost of leveraging powerful connections, huge sums of money and power struggles.
It follows Prashant’s (Paramvir Singh Cheema) gritty hustle in an unforgiving film industry and Jimmy’s (Ambrish Verma) calculated climb through the cut-throat world of real estate and politics, ruled by power, ambition, and control.
As old wounds resurface, their journeys spiral through rejection, revenge and risky choices.
The trailer leaves viewers with a haunting question: in a world where dreams don’t come easy and are earned through every setback you survive, how far are you willing to go to claim them? Will Prashant finally get that big break, will Jimmy settle old scores?
Watch it here:
Ambrish Verma, who plays Jimmy and is the writer and director of Sapne vs Everyone Season two, said, “Sapne vs Everyone has not been just another project for me, but a dream. The incredible love and appreciation that Season one received from audiences across the world inspired us to bring Season two to life, continuing this grounded story that reflects social realities many of us relate to. I am grateful to TVF and Prime Video for giving me the platform to share this journey with audiences in India and beyond. In the new season, you will see characters more intense and evolved, raising both the scale and the stakes. I am especially excited for viewers to see Jimmy’s journey- he’s more layered, conflicted, and driven than before. I can’t wait for audiences to experience the new season of Sapne vs Everyone when it premieres on Prime Video on May 1.”
Paramvir Singh Cheema, who continues to portray the character of Prashant in Sapne vs Everyone Season two, shared, “It has been truly overwhelming to see the love audiences showered on the first season and the way they’ve embraced my character. Getting the opportunity to return as Prashant has been incredibly rewarding. I’m deeply grateful for the support we received and can’t wait for everyone to join Prashant again as he continues chasing his dreams of becoming an actor. Watch Sapne vs Everyone Season 2, only on Prime Video, starting May 1.”

Vijayant Kohli, who plays Kukreja aka Mama in Sapne vs Everyone Season 2, said, “I am thrilled to return for Sapne vs Everyone Season two, a journey that has been both exciting and challenging. The new season starts of where the first one ended and it promises to be even more hard-hitting, with stakes higher than ever before. You will find there is greater tension, more complexity, and constantly shifting dynamics between characters. I am sure the viewers will enjoy Kukreja’s character as much as I did portraying him in the latest season of Sapne vs Everyone.”
The series will premiere exclusively on Prime Video on May 1.
