Bollywood’s most celebrated couple, Shah Rukh Khan and Gauri Khan, mark their 34th wedding anniversary today, October 25. Their journey, which began as a young love story in Delhi, has evolved into one of the most inspiring partnerships in the entertainment industry.
The couple tied the knot in 1991 through three wedding ceremonies — a Hindu ceremony, a Muslim nikah, and a registered marriage — beautifully symbolizing the union of two cultures and hearts.
While Shah Rukh Khan went on to become one of the biggest global superstars, Gauri Khan has carved her own niche as a successful entrepreneur, interior designer, and film producer. Far from being just the superstar’s wife, Gauri has been a pillar of strength and a force in her own right.
Over the years, the couple has faced both personal and professional highs and lows, but their bond has remained unshaken. Together, they’ve raised three children — Aryan, Suhana, and AbRam Khan — who are often seen cheering for their parents both on and off screen.
Fans and celebrities alike took to social media to shower the couple with love, celebrating their relationship that embodies trust, companionship, and resilience.
As the King and Queen of Bollywood celebrate their 34th year together, they continue to inspire generations — proving that love, respect, and partnership can truly stand the test of time. ❤️
Bollywood’s eternal superstar Shah Rukh Khan is set to receive a spectacular birthday tribute, as PVR Inox announces a special Birthday Film Festival celebrating his cinematic journey.
Launching on October 31, the two-week festival will feature seven of SRK’s most iconic films, screened across 75+ cinemas in 30+ cities across India. The event will culminate on November 2, the actor’s birthday, marking three decades of his unmatched legacy in Indian cinema.
From timeless romantic classics to blockbuster entertainers, the festival promises to take audiences on a nostalgic journey through Shah Rukh Khan’s illustrious career.
Speaking about the initiative, PVR Inox said the event aims to bring fans closer to the superstar’s magic, recreating his biggest moments on the silver screen for both long-time admirers and a new generation of movie lovers.
Known as the “King of Bollywood,” SRK has redefined Indian cinema with his charm, versatility, and global fan base. This celebration gives audiences a rare chance to experience his legendary performances where they belong — in theatres.
The 71st National Film Awards transformed Vigyan Bhawan, New Delhi, into a vibrant celebration of cinematic excellence as President Droupadi Murmu honoured the finest in Indian cinema. From revered legends to emerging stars, the awards reflected the breadth and brilliance of storytelling that continues to define India’s cultural landscape.
In a moment that will be etched in the annals of film history, President Murmu conferred the prestigious Dadasaheb Phalke Award on veteran actor Mohanlal. She praised his journey from theatre to screen, his embodiment of India’s cultural heritage, and his deep impact on audiences across generations. From the classical Karnabharam to his poignant role in Vanaprastham, Mohanlal’s contribution has been both prolific and profound. With humility and gratitude, the actor dedicated the award to the stalwarts of Malayalam cinema and reaffirmed his commitment to the art form, calling cinema the “heartbeat of his soul.”
The President emphasized the unique role cinema plays in reflecting India’s democratic spirit and cultural diversity. She noted the growing representation of women in the industry and underscored the importance of equal opportunities, both on and off screen. The spotlight on young talent, children’s creativity, and environmental storytelling highlighted the evolving nature of cinema as a force for awareness and innovation.
Among the standout winners of the evening was Shah Rukh Khan, who won Best Actor for Jawan, a role that demanded both scale and nuance. Sharing the honour, Vikrant Massey’s performance in 12th Fail was recognised for its quiet resilience and authenticity. Rani Mukerji, awarded Best Actress for Mrs. Chatterjee v/s Norway, delivered a performance that blurred lines between reel and real, embodying a mother’s anguish with raw emotion.
The awards also recognised the unsung heroes—supporting actors who breathe life into narratives. Vijayaraghavan and Muthupettai Somu Bhaskar won Best Supporting Actor, while Urvashi and Janki Bodiwala were honoured as Best Supporting Actress, showcasing performances that left a lasting impact.
12th Fail was named Best Feature Film, a testament to the power of hope and determination. Non-feature categories also shone brightly, with Flowering Man and God Vulture and Human being recognised for their compelling storytelling and documentary excellence. India’s growing strength in the AVGC space was acknowledged with Hanu-Man taking home the award in that category, and Giddh: The Scavenger earning the Best Short Film honour.
Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw lauded Mohanlal and reiterated the government’s commitment to positioning India as a global content powerhouse. He highlighted the success of initiatives like Waves 2025 and the International Institute of Cinema and Technology (IICT), launched in partnership with tech giants like Meta, Google, Microsoft and NVIDIA. The focus on indigenous film equipment production, live concert economy, and regulatory reforms reflects the roadmap towards a Viksit Bharat by 2047.
Secretary Sanjay Jaju encapsulated the spirit of the event, calling cinema a celebration of stories, dreams, and shared experiences. This year, marked by legends and landmark moments, echoed the motto “Ek Desh, Hazaron Kahaniyan, Ek Junoon”—a tribute to India’s enduring cinematic passion.
As the hall stood in ovation and hearts brimmed with pride, the 71st National Film Awards reminded the nation that cinema is not just entertainment—it is emotion, legacy, and the ever-beating pulse of a country telling its story to the world.
In a city that has seen its fair share of glamorous nights, this one stood out. Red Chillies Entertainment hosted a grand premiere of The Bads of Bollywood at the opulent Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre in Mumbai, and the event was anything but ordinary. The venue shimmered with lights, echoed with camera clicks, and buzzed with a sense of cinematic history being made.
What was meant to be a premiere for a new web series quickly evolved into a full-blown media spectacle. The red carpet felt like a who’s who of Bollywood. From Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt to Kajol and Ajay Devgn, the A-list turnout was jaw-dropping. Every entrance was a moment, with celebrities donning dramatic couture, glamorous gowns, and statement looks that sparked a fashion frenzy.
The biggest highlight, however, was the presence of Shah Rukh Khan and his family, attending in support of Aryan Khan, who made his much-anticipated directorial debut. Aryan, known for staying out of the spotlight, finally stepped in—but on his own terms—as the creative force behind The Bads of Bollywood, a satirical action comedy web series that premiered on Netflix the same night.
The evening wasn’t without its emotional undertones. One particularly touching moment saw Bobby Deol comforting Aryan Khan, in what appeared to be an attempt to lift his spirits amidst the overwhelming attention. These intimate gestures gave the night a human touch, a reminder that behind the glitz were real emotions, dreams, and first steps being taken.
As the show begins its streaming journey on Netflix, all eyes are on Aryan Khan, who has taken his first step not as an actor, but as a director with a vision. The premiere may be over, but the buzz around The Bads of Bollywood has only just begun.

SS Rajamouli, the visionary filmmaker behind Baahubali and RRR, is all set to embark on his next cinematic journey — and it might just redefine the scale of Indian film releases worldwide. His upcoming untitled action-adventure film is expected to surpass even the global reach of Shah Rukh Khan’s blockbuster Pathaan.
The film will officially begin with a Pooja ceremony in January, marking the start of a project that has been highly anticipated in both Indian and international markets. Though the title and release date are yet to be announced, the first official reveal is scheduled for November 2025.
Described as an action-adventure in the spirit of Indiana Jones, the film stars Mahesh Babu in the lead role, alongside global icon Priyanka Chopra and acclaimed actor Prithviraj Sukumaran. With such a high-profile cast and SS Rajamouli’s reputation for cinematic spectacle, expectations are sky-high.
In 2024, Pathaan set a new benchmark by releasing in over 100 countries and on more than 2,500 overseas screens. It pulled in ₹104.80 crore globally on its opening day and went on to collect over ₹1,050 crore worldwide. Now, Rajamouli is reportedly targeting an even broader global footprint, leveraging the global popularity of Indian cinema and the star power of his cast.
Though still under production, the film is already generating massive buzz, with industry insiders suggesting it could reshape how Indian films are distributed and received on a global scale.
Fans and film lovers can expect more details in the coming months, as the project moves into full production mode — and the global stage gets ready for Rajamouli’s next epic.
