Taapsee Pannu is deeply engaged in the production of her upcoming film ‘Gandhari’ and is sharing updates from the set with her fans.

On Wednesday, she took to Instagram to share her experiences, offering followers insights into the challenges and successes of the filmmaking process.

In her post, Taapsee conveyed an uplifting message: “When the going gets tough, the tough get going… that’s the one line that sums up the motivation and experience ‘Gandhari’ has given us.” She went on to mention that the crew is approaching the final phases of filming and are ready to “break the glass ceiling—literally as well,” as they challenge conventions in their work.

Additionally, she expressed her enthusiasm for venturing into new territory, remarking, “If you want something you never had, you have to do something you’ve never done.”

Taapsee also shared two photos with her audience. The first one features her dressed in a lively green and pink salwar suit, sporting a long braid and holding a stick, offering a glimpse into her character.

The second image captures a candid moment with the film’s director, Devashish Makhija, writer Kanika Dhillon, and co-star Ishwak Singh, showcasing the creative team collaborating behind the film.

Taapsee’s most recent film, ‘Khel Khel Mein’, featured her alongside Akshay Kumar in a narrative about seven friends who decide to publicize their phones for one night, leading to unexpected chaos. Despite its intriguing concept, the film struggled at the box office, losing ground to contenders like ‘Stree 2’ and ‘Vedaa’.

Earlier this year, Taapsee also received acclaim for her role in ‘Phir Aayi Hasseen Dillruba’, which premiered on Netflix in August and was well-received, featuring Vikrant Massey, Sunny Kaushal, and Jimmy Shergill.

Supreme Court Dismisses plea against Mannat Renovation

New Delhi: The Supreme Court has dismissed a petition challenging the renovation of Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan and his wife Gauri Khan’s residence, Mannat, in Mumbai.

A Mumbai resident had filed the petition alleging that the renovation project did not have all the required statutory and environmental clearances.

During the hearing, the petitioner’s senior advocate, Shoaib Alam, argued that the project required approval from the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change. He also claimed that projects costing more than Rs.5 crore must obtain such approval.

The Supreme Court questioned the intention behind the petition. Chief Justice Surya Kant observed that Mannat is a private residence and its owners are free to renovate or modify their home if they follow the law.

The petitioner’s lawyer also requested that the matter be sent back to the National Green Tribunal (NGT) for reconsideration. However, the Supreme Court rejected the request.

The court also clarified that its decision was not influenced by Shah Rukh Khan’s popularity or celebrity status.

Earlier, the National Green Tribunal had dismissed a similar petition. It ruled that the project complied with environmental rules and that all necessary approvals had been granted.

The dispute began in March 2025 when social activist Santosh Daundkar approached the NGT. He challenged the Coastal Regulation Zone clearance issued by the Maharashtra Coastal Zone Management Authority on January 3.

The petition also alleged that environmental rules were not properly followed during the approval process. However, those associated with the project maintained that all required permissions had been obtained.

The controversy arose after Gauri Khan proposed adding two more floors to the existing six-storey building at Mannat. With the Supreme Court dismissing the plea, the legal challenge to the renovation has come to an end.
