S Taylor Swift urges fans to watch Happy Gilmore 2 starring beau Travis Kelce …asks Akshay Kumar as he closes Falguni-Shane Peacock’s show past his usual bedtime UPERSTAR Akshay Kumar is known for leading a disciplined lifestyle, which mainly includes hitting the bed early and waking up at 4 in the morning. However, sometimes, due to work commitments, his “early sleep and wake-up routine” gets hampered. Friday night was one of those rare days when Khiladi Kumar stayed up late. He had no qualms about it as he was in his hometown, Delhi, for ace designers Falguni-Shane Peacock’s special show at India Couture Week 2025. After walking the ramp for the designers, Akshay briefly spoke with media around 11 pm on Friday night, joking about closing the show past his usual bedtime. “Well, thank you very much. Main Hindi mein bolunga. Aap sabhi logo ka bhaut bhaut dhanyawad, jitne bhi yahan log aaye, aur media. (Looking at his watch) Kaafi late nahi ho gaya hai?” Akshay quipped, leaving members of the media in splits. The Kesari star was in a candid mode. When one of the shutterbugs said, “Dilli mein chalta hai sir”, Akshay, with a touch of humour, responded, “Tabhi haal dekh tera.” Akshay returned to the ramp after many years, but his comeback was definitely worth the wait. Dressed in an ivory bandhgala sherwani, Akshay looked handsome as he exuded desi swag with his showstopper look. His black sunglasses and silver juti elevated his traditional look, echoing with designers’ offering Raj Mahal Bijoux - The Palace of Jewels. On making his comeback to ramp after 12 years, Akshay said, “Actually, after a long time I’m doing ramp walk. Mujhe yaad hai, aaj se kariban 12 saal pehle, maine ek baar ramp walk kiya tha, maine inhi ke saath kiya tha.” Akshay also lauded designers, models and the team for their relentless efforts that go behind conducting one show. He added, “I have enjoyed each and every bit of it. Specially, maine dekha hai ki kitna hardwork jaata hai ek show karne ke liye, organise karne ke liye aur 25 minute ke andar poora ka poora khatam ho jaata hai. Log itna saj dhaj ke aate hain aur 25 minute ke NFL player makes a cameo appearance as a waiter in the 2025 sports comedy, which serves as a sequel to the 1996 hit Happy Gilmore.

He also has Haiwaan and Hera Pheri 3 in the pipeline. —ANI It’s fare at Savoir Alia Bhatt, Soni Razdan and Mahesh Bhatt Mona Shahid Kapoor, Pankaj Kapur & Supriya Pathak Sunny & Bobby Deol with Dharmendra When Bollywood bloodlines blur the line between acting & truth YatheshtPratiraj Phool Sonam and Anil Kapoor There’s something magical about sitting down to a movie and realising, wait a minute, that father and son onscreen?

Like a Diwali dinner Dharmendra, Sunny and Bobby Deol might be Bollywood’s most visible father-son package deal. In Apne, they brought raw emotion to a story.
