Global music superstar Enrique Iglesias has returned to India after 13 years, setting Mumbai abuzz with excitement ahead of his much-awaited two-day concert. The Grammy Award-winning Spanish singer was spotted at Kalina Airport on Tuesday, where he greeted paparazzi and fans, flashing his signature smile and a humble ‘namaste’ before heading out.

Dressed in a casual grey T-shirt, jogger-style trousers, and a matching cap, Enrique exuded effortless charm as he posed for photographs and interacted with the media. His arrival marks a monumental return to the Indian stage, with concerts scheduled on October 29 and 30 at the MMRDA Grounds in Bandra Kurla Complex.

Known worldwide for his timeless hits like Hero, Bailamos, Escape, and Addicted, Enrique expressed his excitement about performing in India once again. “I’ve missed performing in India; the fans there are some of the most loyal and passionate in the world. Since my first show back in 2004, the love has always been unreal. I can’t wait to get back to Mumbai and bring them this new show,” the singer said in an official statement.

The enthusiasm surrounding his comeback concert has been overwhelming, with tickets for the October 30 performance reportedly selling out within hours. To accommodate the massive demand, organisers added another show on October 29, ensuring fans get a chance to experience the pop icon live once again.

Adding a personal touch to his visit, Enrique is also planning to extend his India trip. A source revealed that he regrets not visiting the Taj Mahal during his previous visit and is determined to see the historic monument this time. “Enrique enjoys exploring the culture of every city he performs in, as demonstrated by his visits in the past,” the source added.

Fans are now eagerly counting down to the concerts as Mumbai prepares to welcome one of the biggest global music icons of our time. With his return after more than a decade, Enrique Iglesias is set to remind India why his music continues to transcend generations and borders.

Tanisha Cardozo

Global music sensation Pitbull is set to make a grand return to India this December with his I’m Back tour — marking his fourth visit to the country. The Grammy Award-winning artist will perform at the HUDA Grounds in Gurugram on December 6 and at Ramoji Film City in Hyderabad on December 8, 2025, promising fans two unforgettable nights of high-octane music and energy.

“It’s truly an honor to perform back in India, we look forward to bringing the party back,” said Armando Christian Pérez, famously known as Pitbull. “Touring the globe continues to show fans around the world that music is the universal language that unites genres. Daleee!” he added.

Pitbull, fondly known as Mr. Worldwide, has had a long-standing relationship with Indian audiences. His first performance in India took place in 2011, followed by his appearance at the 2017 IPL opening ceremony at Eden Gardens, where he shared the stage with Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan. He returned in 2019 for another live concert in Mumbai and even performed at Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s wedding celebrations in 2024, alongside singer Guru Randhawa.

Indian fans also remember his hit collaboration with Priyanka Chopra on the 2013 single Exotic, which seamlessly fused Bollywood beats with Pitbull’s signature Miami rhythm — cementing his status as one of the few global artists to achieve mainstream success with an Indian collaboration.

Reflecting on his past experiences, Pitbull once said, “The kind of love and affection I received was overwhelming. The people of India are really warm. I enjoyed performing in front of such a huge and welcoming audience.”

The I’m Back India tour is being produced and promoted by BookMyShow Live, which has promised a spectacular live experience featuring Pitbull’s biggest hits — including Give Me Everything, Timber, Rain Over Me, and Fireball.

Tickets for both shows go live at 12 PM (noon) on October 25, giving fans the chance to secure their spot for one of the most anticipated international concerts of the year.

With his signature charisma, infectious energy, and global hits, Pitbull’s return promises to be a celebration of music, unity, and pure entertainment — a night that Indian fans won’t soon forget.

Bharti Singh and Haarsh Limbachiyaa are all set to welcome their second child, and the announcement has already captured hearts across the internet. The couple shared the exciting news on Instagram on the evening of Monday, October 6, 2025, with a picturesque photo taken during their current vacation in Switzerland. In the image, Bharti is seen flaunting her baby bump with the scenic Alps in the background, while Haarsh lovingly stands behind her.

Their joint caption read: “we are pregnant again 😍🧿❤️🥳 #blessed #ganpatibappamorya🙏❤️ #thankyougod #babycomingsoon,” a message that quickly attracted love and congratulations from fans and celebrities alike. Parineeti Chopra, Esha Gupta, Dhrasti Dhami, Jannat Zubair, Abhishek Malhan, and Anjali Anand were among the many who commented to celebrate the news.

Bharti and Haarsh, who tied the knot in 2017 in a traditional Hindu ceremony, welcomed their first child, Laksh (fondly known as Golla), on April 3, 2022. The little one has since become a familiar face to fans through the couple’s popular YouTube vlogs, where they often share candid moments from their family life.

In recent travel vlogs, Bharti and Haarsh documented their trip to Switzerland with Golla, capturing sweet moments including Golla’s demands for ice cream and toys during a stroll through the picturesque streets. In one particularly memorable moment, Bharti jokingly asked Haarsh if he still wanted more kids, to which he humorously replied, “Yes, I want five babies!”

Bharti, who rose to fame with The Great Indian Laughter Challenge, became a household name after appearing on The Kapil Sharma Show and has since gone on to host several TV shows. She recently hosted Laughter Chefs Season 2 and co-hosts a podcast with Haarsh where they invite top television stars to share their stories.

As the couple embarks on this new chapter, fans are eagerly looking forward to updates on baby number two — and more fun-filled family moments with Bharti, Haarsh, and little Golla.

Shraddha Kapoor Announces Animated Prequel Choti Stree at Thamma Trailer Launch

Tanisha Cardozo

Bollywood fans were in for a treat at the trailer launch of Thamma, the upcoming horror-comedy from Maddock Films, set to release this Diwali on October 21. While the event featured lead stars Ayushmann Khurrana, director Aditya Sarpotdar, and producer Dinesh Vijan, it was Shraddha Kapoor who stole the spotlight with an exciting surprise.

The original face of the Maddock Horror Comedy Universe, Shraddha announced a brand-new animated theatrical feature titled Choti Stree. This prequel will explore the mysterious backstory of her iconic character from Stree, the film that started the cinematic universe and became a cultural phenomenon.

Shraddha shared her excitement, saying the film will give fans the long-awaited answers about her character’s powers and origins. Producer Dinesh Vijan added that Choti Stree will release six months before Stree 3, and end with a sequence that directly connects to the much-anticipated sequel—effectively making it a narrative bridge between the two.

This strategic move not only expands the universe but also introduces a family-friendly entry point. By using animation, the franchise is tapping into a broader demographic, including children and younger audiences, while retaining the folklore-based roots that have defined the series.

The Maddock Horror Comedy Universe has steadily evolved since the success of Stree (2018), with titles like Bhediya and Munjya adding new layers and mythologies. Thamma, which delves into the legend of the Betaal, adds yet another folkloric thread to the shared universe.

Dinesh Vijan emphasized the studio’s mission: to celebrate India’s rich cultural stories instead of borrowing tropes from Western horror. He also revealed that Thamma will introduce two new characters who will lead future films, all interconnected and culminating in Stree 3.

With Choti Stree, Maddock Films is signaling its serious intent to craft a cohesive and enduring cinematic universe—one grounded in Indian mythology, reimagined for modern audiences, and now expanding into new formats like animation.

As the anticipation for Thamma and Stree 3 builds, Choti Stree adds another compelling chapter to one of Bollywood’s most creative franchises. Fans can expect not just jump scares, but layered storytelling, interconnected lore, and now, an exciting animated twist.
