Arijit Singh ends playback singing retirement

 

Indian playback singer Arijit Singh has officially ended his retirement from playback singing and is set to make a much-anticipated return to the music industry, delighting millions of fans who had been disappointed by his earlier announcement.

According to reports, Arijit Singh is returning to playback singing through a collaboration with a well-known filmmaking team with whom he has previously delivered several chart-topping songs. His comeback marks an important moment for Bollywood music, as the singer has into long been regarded as one of the industry’s most celebrated voices, known for his soulful melodies and emotional performances.

Reports reveal that Arijit Singh has reunited with producer Vishesh Bhatt for the first song of Bollywood actor Emraan Hashmi’s upcoming film Awarapan 2. The track, titled “Yeh Awarapan,” has been composed by music director Amaal Mallik. The song is scheduled to be released on July 21 across all major music streaming platforms, where fans are eagerly awaiting its launch.

According to media, producer Vishesh Bhatt wanted the song to capture the emotional journey of Emraan Hashmi’s iconic character, Shivam Pandit, who is expected to return in the sequel. Bhatt believed that Arijit Singh’s expressive and heartfelt voice would perfectly convey the emotions and depth required for the character, making him the ideal choice for the project.

The collaboration has already generated significant excitement among Bollywood fans, especially those who have admired the successful partnership between Emraan Hashmi, the Bhatt camp, and Arijit Singh in the past. Their previous musical projects have produced several memorable hits that continue to enjoy immense popularity among audiences.

Arijit Singh’s return is being viewed as a major boost for Bollywood’s music industry, where his songs have consistently dominated streaming charts and playlists over the past decade. His ability to deliver emotionally rich performances has earned him a loyal fan base not only in India but also across South Asia and among international listeners.

It is worth mentioning that earlier this year, Arijit Singh surprised his fans by announcing on Instagram that he was stepping away from playback singing. While extending New Year greetings to his followers, the singer shared that he was retiring from recording songs for films. The unexpected announcement left many of his admirers saddened, with fans expressing their disappointment and hoping that the decision would not be permanent.

Since then, speculation about a possible comeback had continued, but no official confirmation had emerged until reports of his involvement in Awarapan 2 surfaced. His decision to return has now been warmly welcomed by music lovers, many of whom have taken to social media to celebrate the news and express their excitement for his upcoming release.

With “Yeh Awarapan” set to mark his comeback, expectations are running high. Fans are hopeful that the song will once again showcase Arijit Singh’s signature vocal brilliance and recreate the magic that has made him one of Bollywood’s most beloved playback singers. His return is expected to be one of the most talked-about musical moments of the year.

    Fans urge Faysal Quraishi to stop weight loss procedures

    Faysal Quraishi has been one of Pakistani television’s most recognisable faces for decades. His body of work includes acclaimed performances in dramas such as Meri Zaat Zarra-e-Benishan, Main Abdul Qadir Hoon, Bashar Momin, Muqaddar, Khaie, Haiwaan, Farq, Hook, Behroopia, Bheegi Palkain and Fitoor, and he most recently earned widespread praise for his outstanding portrayal of Kamran in Case No. 9. In recent weeks, however, it is not his acting that has been generating conversation online. It is his dramatically altered physical appearance. Quraishi has been visibly losing weight over an extended period, and what initially drew admiration as a fitness transformation has now become a source of genuine worry among fans. In a recent clip that spread across social media, the actor appeared noticeably leaner than before, with deeply sunken cheeks and a physique that many of his followers found alarming rather than impressive. The reaction in the comments was immediate and concerned. One fan wrote, “What has he done to himself, look at him how thin he has become.” Another was more direct in their appeal, writing, “Faysal Quraishi should immediately stop all the weight loss procedures that he is taking.” A Turkish fan reached out with a message that combined admiration with worry, writing, “Faysal sir why are you looking so thin, I hope you are not sick.” Others expressed a simple preference for how he looked before, with one commenter writing, “He used to look handsome when he was chubby.” Some fans went further, speculating about the methods behind the transformation. Several commenters raised the possibility that Quraishi had been using Ozempic, the weight loss injection that has been widely discussed in both medical and celebrity circles in recent years. Quraishi himself has not responded publicly to the concern or addressed the speculation about how he has been achieving his weight loss. He has not commented on Ozempic or any other weight loss method, and no statement has been issued by his representatives. The situation reflects a broader shift in how Pakistani audiences engage with celebrity health and appearance. While weight loss is often celebrated, the speed and visibility of certain transformations have increasingly prompted followers to raise questions about sustainability, health and the procedures that might be involved. The reaction to Quraishi’s appearance suggests that for many fans, concern for a beloved figure can override the usual tendency to simply praise visible physical change. Faysal Quraishi remains one of the most celebrated and consistently working actors in Pakistani television. His fans clearly remain deeply invested in his wellbeing, and the volume and tone of the comments surrounding his recent appearance reflect exactly that investment. Whether he chooses to address the concern publicly or simply continue on his current path remains to be seen.

Her influence extended far beyond television, as she inspired generations of her family through her work ethic, kindness, and unwavering support.  Kim has previously described MJ as her “best friend,” “gossip buddy,” and “forever twin.” In an earlier tribute following her grandmother’s death, she recalled receiving her very first job at MJ’s children’s boutique in San Diego, where she learned valuable lessons about business, confidence, and determination. Those experiences, Kim said, helped shape the entrepreneur she is today.  Kris Jenner also honored her late mother on what would have been her 92nd birthday, describing MJ as the foundation of their family and thanking her for the love, wisdom, and values she passed down to her children and grandchildren. The family continues to lean on one another as they grieve the loss of a woman whose legacy remains deeply woven into their lives.  Although MJ is no longer physically present, Kim’s touching birthday message serves as a reminder that love and memories can keep someone’s spirit alive forever.

    Vikrant Massey explains why exes should stay in past

    Actor Vikrant Massey has spoken candidly about his marriage to wife Sheetal Thakur, offering a glimpse into the trust and honesty that define their relationship. The actor also shared his personal opinion on past relationships, saying he does not believe in maintaining friendships with former partners. During a recent conversation, Vikrant explained that he and Sheetal have always been transparent with each other about their past. According to the actor, openness is an important part of any strong relationship, and hiding significant aspects of one’s romantic history can create unnecessary doubts. He said that neither he nor Sheetal ever felt the need to keep their previous relationships a secret. In his view, couples who avoid acknowledging a serious relationship that lasted for several years may be sending the wrong message. Vikrant believes that if two people have shared a meaningful part of their lives together, there should be no reason to pretend that chapter never existed. Sharing his thoughts further, the 12th Fail star said that relationships should not remain hidden from close friends and family, especially if they were long-term commitments. He added that trying to avoid giving a relationship a label or deliberately concealing it often appears suspicious. For him, honesty and acceptance of the past are essential ingredients for building trust in the present. Vikrant and Sheetal first met in 2015 through a mutual friend. Over time, their friendship grew stronger, and the pair eventually fell in love. Their relationship attracted attention during the filming of the web series Broken But Beautiful in 2018, when dating rumours surrounding the two began making headlines. After several years together, the couple officially registered their marriage on February 14, 2022. A few days later, on February 18, they celebrated their union with a traditional wedding ceremony attended by family members and close friends. Their family expanded in February 2024 with the arrival of their baby boy. Following the birth of his son, Vikrant announced that he would take a break from acting to focus on spending quality time with his family. His decision was appreciated by many fans, who praised the actor for prioritising fatherhood during an important phase of his child’s life. On the professional front, Vikrant was most recently seen in Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan, where he starred opposite Shanaya Kapoor. He also made a special cameo appearance in Shahid Kapoor’s O Romeo. Looking ahead, the actor has a busy schedule with several exciting projects lined up. He is preparing for the release of Musafir Cafe, which is set to premiere on Netflix on July 24. In addition, Vikrant will also be seen in Yaar Jigri and Talaakhon, adding to an already impressive lineup of upcoming films. With his latest comments, Vikrant has once again highlighted the importance of honesty, trust, and clear communication in relationships, while giving fans a rare insight into the values that shape his personal life.

    The story of Partition has returned to the big screen with “Batwara 1947” and early viewers are already sharing largely positive reactions online. Many praised the film’s emotional storytelling, characters and performances. Directed by Rajkumar Santoshi, the film released in cinemas on August 14. It stars Sunny Deol as Sikandar, Shabana Azmi as Mai, and Preity Zinta as Hamida. Several viewers described the film as an emotional watch suited for the whole family. One social media user called it a complete family film and recommended watching it alongside parents, while also praising Azmi’s performance specifically. Other reactions focused on how the film portrayed the struggles people faced during Partition. Viewers pointed to its handling of fear, displacement and uncertainty as key emotional throughlines. One viewer noted that the film avoided painting Sikandar and Hamida as purely right or wrong. According to that reaction, their choices only made sense once the full weight of their circumstances became clear. Sunny Deol’s performance quickly became one of the most talked-about elements of the film. Numerous users praised his portrayal of Sikandar, particularly his expressive work in emotionally heavy scenes. One user wrote on X that Deol completely owns his character throughout the film. Another said his performance revealed emotional range well beyond his well-known action image, highlighting the quieter moments where his expressions carried entire scenes. The film’s character arc also drew significant attention from early viewers. Several noted that Sikandar’s journey across the story stood out as one of its strongest elements. One viewer pointed out that Sikandar was not written as a flawless hero from the start, instead confronting his own anger and beliefs as the narrative unfolds. Another praised a specific scene where his visible helplessness reportedly shifted the entire mood inside the theatre. Set in Lahore during the 1947 Partition, “Batwara 1947” explores the era’s impact through the lives of ordinary people. The film reportedly draws inspiration from Asghar Wajahat’s play “Jis Lahore Nai Vekhya, O Jamya E Nai.” These early reactions reflect only initial social media responses, with more detailed reviews expected as the film reaches wider audiences in the coming days.

    Naomi Watts breaks silence on her secret role in S…

    Naomi Watts has officially joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but many moviegoers did not realize it until after watching Spider-Man: Brand New Day. The acclaimed actress recently surprised fans by revealing that she secretly voices E.V.I.E. (E.V.), Peter Parker’s self-created artificial intelligence assistant in the blockbuster superhero film. The announcement came through an Instagram post, where Watts shared her excitement about becoming part of the Marvel franchise in an unexpected way.  The 57-year-old actress reflected on the special project by posting a behind-the-scenes photo from a Zoom session with director Destin Daniel Cretton. In her caption, Watts joked about her long history with Tom Holland, writing, “From playing your mom to playing your AI (100% human made).” The lighthearted message referenced their earlier collaboration in the 2012 disaster drama The Impossible, in which Holland portrayed her on-screen son. Nearly 14 years later, the pair have reunited in a completely different way within the Marvel Cinematic Universe.  Although her role remained a closely guarded secret before the film’s release, Watts’ voice is now recognized as the intelligent AI companion who assists Peter Parker throughout his latest adventure. Following the memory-erasing events of Spider-Man: No Way Home, Peter finds himself more isolated than ever, making E.V.I.E. one of the few constant presences in his life. The digital assistant helps him navigate both everyday challenges and dangerous missions, serving as a trusted guide similar to Tony Stark’s iconic J.A.R.V.I.S. system.  Watts also congratulated Holland, Cretton, and the entire cast on the film’s remarkable success. She said she felt “immensely proud” to have contributed, even if only in a small way, to such a historic project. Despite being a voice-only performance, her role has generated considerable excitement among Marvel fans, many of whom were delighted to discover the surprise cameo after the film’s release.  Directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, Spider-Man: Brand New Day follows Peter Parker as he embraces life as a full-time superhero in a world that no longer remembers his true identity. The film stars Tom Holland, Zendaya, Jacob Batalon, Sadie Sink, Jon Bernthal, and Mark Ruffalo, while introducing several new twists that expand Peter’s story in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.  For Watts, the project represents an exciting milestone. Although she has enjoyed an acclaimed career with memorable performances in films such as Mulholland Drive, The Impossible, and King Kong, this marks her first official appearance in the MCU. Her surprise role demonstrates that even in one of the world’s biggest film franchises, there are still secrets waiting to be uncovered. As fans continue celebrating Spider-Man: Brand New Day, Watts’ unexpected reveal has become one of the movie’s most talked-about behind-the-scenes surprises. Her reunion with Tom Holland and memorable contribution as E.V.I.E. adds another fascinating chapter to both actors’ careers while giving Marvel audiences one more reason to revisit the blockbuster.

    Mahira Khan faces backlash over Gaza fundraiser appearance

    LONDON: Pakistani actor Mahira Khan has faced criticism on social media after attending a fundraising event in London in support of Palestinians affected by the Gaza crisis. Khan appeared at the event in a peach outfit by designer Saniya Maskatiya. Videos and pictures from the gathering quickly circulated online. Many people praised the actor’s appearance and her interaction with attendees. However, some social media users questioned her participation in the event. Critics focused on Khan’s previous associations with international brands. Some users referred to her work with L’Oréal and Pepsi while discussing her public support for Palestine. They questioned whether her commercial endorsements were consistent with her stance on the Gaza crisis. The format of the event also attracted criticism. Some users felt that the gathering appeared to focus partly on Khan’s career and public image rather than concentrating entirely on humanitarian fundraising. Videos from the event showed Khan engaging with guests and discussing different aspects of her professional life. She also participated in activities on stage. These moments prompted mixed reactions online. Some users argued that a humanitarian event should remain focused on the suffering of Palestinians and efforts to support those affected by the conflict. Others defended Khan’s participation. They said celebrities can use their public platforms to raise awareness and support humanitarian causes. The debate has also highlighted wider questions about celebrity activism. Many public figures support humanitarian campaigns while maintaining commercial partnerships with major international companies. Social media users often scrutinise these relationships. The discussion can become particularly intense when the causes involve politically sensitive international conflicts. Khan has remained an influential figure in Pakistan’s entertainment industry. She has built a large following through her television and film projects. Her public appearances also regularly attract significant attention. Her fashion choices, professional projects and social activities frequently become topics of discussion online. The latest controversy is therefore not limited to her appearance at the London fundraiser. It has also sparked a broader debate about the responsibilities of celebrities who publicly support humanitarian causes. Supporters believe Khan’s presence can help draw attention to the Palestinian cause. Critics, meanwhile, want greater consistency between celebrity activism and commercial endorsements.
