She got Kusha Kapila to groove with her on the iconic 90s track ‘Nimbooda.’ The dance reel came as a complete surprise as the Internet had probably never seen Kusha dance before.

Also featuring Johnny Lever and Jayant Kriplani, the movie centers around Abhishek’s character Arjun who is preparing himself to undergo life-altering surgery.

Diwali is hands down one of the best festivals in India. We spotted some of our favourite content creators have such wholesome celebrations at their homes.

Shalini & Aishwarya Are Besties Now
Aishwarya Mohanraj hosted her ‘Most Awkward’ or rather favourite interview with the iconic Shalini Passi for Netflix’s YouTube channel. And it was wild, to say the least! This was the first time that Aishwarya was the awkward one in her interview. Shalini was just being herself, they randomly climbed a ladder (not scripted), she gave Aishwarya her number, advised her against Ozempic, genuinely invited her to her mansion in Delhi, and got her a cute miniature cat soft toy. Shalini left her stumped and us too. You cannot miss this episode!
