Hrithik Roshan
If you've watched the videos doing the rounds of social media, you'd agree that Hrithik Roshan's presence in the Mumbai Metro left commuters so confounded that they ogled at him as though he wasn't the star that he is but in fact his on-screen extraterrestrial friend, Jadoo. "Took the metro to work today. Met some really sweet and kind folks. Sharing with you the love they gave me. The experience was spectacular. Beat the heat and the traffic, and saved my back for the action shoot I'm going for," the actor wrote on social media while sharing the images. Roshan will next be seen in Fighter alongside Deepika Padukone. The duo was recently spotted filming in Italy. Fighter also stars Anil Kapoor, and will release in theatres on January 25.

Alia Bhatt heaped praise on her Raazi co-star Vicky Kaushal after the release of the teaser for his film, Sam Bahadur. Walking down memory lane, she shared, "I still remember the day Meghna Gulzar told us the story of Sam on the sets of Raazi. Vicky sat there [with] a twinkle in his eye, hoping to one day be Sam. Can't wait to see this one. Special mention to my favourite DoP, Jay I Patel," she wrote. Kaushal's film will clash at cinema halls with Animal, fronted by Bhatt's actor-husband Ranbir Kapoor.
Shubha Mudgal says the young generation of artistes are talented and committed, and spend hours doing âriyaaz'. However, they need the support of listeners to grow. Artistes, she argues, don't need to prove how good they are. "The onus of that lies in the hands of listeners and organisers," Mudgal said, adding that even a fraction of the response and backing that events such as performances by Canadian singer Justin Bieber or South African comedian Trevor Noah get would support upcoming Indian artistes.
