This week, the French Riviera was not just a hub of cinematic excellence at the 78th Cannes Film Festival—it was also a stage for heartfelt moments. Renowned actors Anupam Kher and Robert De Niro rekindled their long-standing friendship, delighting fans with their joyful reunion.

De Niro, who attended Cannes to accept the esteemed honorary Palme d’Or for Lifetime Achievement, took the opportunity to connect with Anupam Kher, who is proudly representing Indian cinema on an international platform.

Kher is at the festival for the world premiere of ‘Tanvi The Great,’ set to debut on May 17. It has been over a decade since they last shared the screen in ‘Silver Linings Playbook’ (2012), alongside Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence, but their bond appears as strong as ever.

A press release from Kher’s team revealed that the two spent quality time reminiscing, with Kher eagerly sharing insights about his latest film. He also introduced debut actor Shubhangi Dutt to De Niro, who graciously congratulated her and extended his best wishes.

‘Tanvi The Great,’ produced by Anupam Kher Studios in collaboration with the National Film Development Corporation (NFDC), has generated significant buzz prior to its premiere. The film features an impressive ensemble cast, including debut actress Shubhangi Dutt and Karan Tacker, who makes his film debut, alongside notable talents such as Boman Irani, Jackie Shroff, Arvind Swami, and ‘Game of Thrones’ star Iain Glen.

The film’s prestige is further elevated by its sound design, crafted by Academy Award-winner Resul Pookutty, famed for his work on ‘Slumdog Millionaire.’

Indian content creator and actor Niharika NM recently achieved a remarkable feat that felt straight out of a “Mission: Impossible” film—this is not just another reel or comedy sketch!

She captured the attention of fans by attending the world premiere of “Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning” in London, which unfolded over two spectacular days on May 14 and 15.

Handpicked by Paramount Pictures India, Niharika was among a select group of global creators invited to this star-studded event, and she made the most of every moment.

Before making her way down the iconic red carpet, Niharika participated in an exclusive dinner on May 14 with fellow global guests and creators, setting the tone for what would become a career-defining experience.

The following day, she graced the red carpet alongside the film’s biggest stars, including the legendary Tom Cruise. Fans were thrilled when she shared a video of their encounter on social media.

Niharika expressed her excitement, stating, “This mission being possible has sent my soul into overdrive. Will take this century to reboot. I’m in awe of the man that you are, @tomcruise. Thank you for making this dream that I didn’t have the guts to dream, come true.”

Reflecting on the premiere, Niharika said, “They say you shouldn’t meet your heroes, but Tom Cruise is 100% the exception. Not only is he a powerhouse on screen, but in person, he’s incredibly kind and present. We had the sweetest little conversation—what he told me? That’ll stay with me forever.”

The premiere was more than just memorable encounters; it celebrated the final chapter in a franchise that has shaped action cinema for nearly thirty years, showcasing a dazzling lineup from Hayley Atwell and Rebecca Ferguson to Simon Pegg.

Masaba Gupta recently took to social media to share an endearing glimpse of her mother, Neena Gupta, fully immersed in her grandmother duties with warmth and affection. The heartwarming moments showcased the veteran actress embracing her role as a loving grandmother. On Thursday, Masaba shared a delightful video of Neena joyfully singing the classic “Dum Maro Dum” while cradling her granddaughter. Masaba captioned the touching moment, “Mozart for babies < Nani singing whatever comes to mind. It’s a miracle I turned out okay. @neena_gupta.” In the video, Neena, dressed casually, tenderly holds the baby while singing, as Masaba captures the candid scene. Last October, Masaba and her husband, actor Satyadeep Misra, welcomed a baby girl into their family. They announced the joyful news with a statement on Dussehra, accompanied by an adorable photo of their daughter's tiny feet, captioned, “Our very special little girl arrived on a very special day. 11.10.2024. Love, Masaba and Satyadeep." Masaba and Satyadeep exchanged vows in a private court ceremony in January 2023, surrounded by their close family and friends, including Masaba’s parents, Neena Gupta and Vivian Richards. In April, the couple joyfully revealed they were expecting their first child. Neena also shared her excitement on Instagram, stating, "Humare bacchon ka baccha aane Wala hai. Isse zyada khushi ki baat kya ho sakti hai (My children are about to welcome a child. What could be happier news?)" For those unfamiliar, Masaba’s parents never married, and she was raised by Neena. She reconnected with her father when she turned 20. Neena Gupta had a brief relationship with West Indies cricket legend Vivian Richards during the 1980s, at a time when Richards was married but separated and already a father of two.
