Judd Apatow
  • Judd Apatow took a sharp approach while hosting the DGA Awards.
  • He targeted several 2024 films and ongoing Hollywood controversies.
  • He also took aim at the legal battle surrounding Blake Lively.

Judd Apatow took a sharp comedic approach while hosting the 77th Annual Directors Guild of America (DGA) Awards on Feb. 8, targeting several 2024 films and ongoing Hollywood controversies—including the legal battle surrounding Blake Lively.

“I loved Wicked. I saw it four times in the first four days,” Apatow joked. “It was the highest-grossing movie musical of all time. Do you know that? Usually to make that much money, you have to sue Blake Lively.”

Lively, 37, has been involved in multiple lawsuits after filing a sexual harassment complaint against It Ends with Us co-star Justin Baldoni in December 2024. Baldoni, 41, responded with a $400 million defamation suit against Lively, her husband Ryan Reynolds, and their publicist Leslie Sloane. Meanwhile, publicist Jed Wallace also sued Lively after she accused him of aiding a smear campaign.

Lively’s legal team responded, “Another day, another state, another nine-figure lawsuit seeking to sue Ms. Lively ‘into oblivion’ for speaking out against sexual harassment and retaliation.”

Apatow also addressed politics, joking, “We all have to decide if we’re going to fight Trump or bend the knee.” He later quipped, “I just started microdosing meth. My new pronouns are, we are f——.”

Saif Ali Khan shares his younger son Jeh’s protective measure after attack on him

Saif Ali Khan
  • Saif Ali Khan was left with six wounds after being stabbed by an intruder.
  • Many questioned why he didn’t have security or weapons at home.
  • His youngest son, Jeh, has come up with his own protective measure.

Actor Saif Ali Khan narrowly escaped serious injury after being stabbed by an intruder at his home last month. The attack left him with six stab wounds, including two deep ones, but fortunately, he recovered without life-threatening injuries.

While many have questioned why a celebrity of his stature does not have security or weapons at home, his youngest son, Jeh, has come up with his own protective measure—a plastic sword.

In an interview with Delhi Times, Saif spoke about his family’s reaction to the terrifying incident. “The kids are okay, thank God. Jeh has given me a plastic sword and said, ‘Keep this by your bed for the next time the chor comes.’

He says, ‘Geeta saved Abba and Abba saved me.’ Taimur is a little concerned about security. Sara was very emotional and Ibrahim was also very emotional, more than he obviously normally is. He was there and has been spending a lot of time with me. It’s been really kind of nice for the family to come together (laughs), but also obviously, a bit of a shock for everyone.”

Saif also mentioned that his wife, Kareena Kapoor, has been staying strong despite her fears. “She is being very strong but is shaken and about things like security.”

Following the attack, Saif spent five days at Lilavati Hospital, where doctors removed a piece of the knife from his back and treated leaking spinal fluid. He was discharged on January 21.

Earlier this month, he made his first public appearance since the attack at a Netflix India event, where he promoted his upcoming film Jewel Thief with a neck bandage and a cast on his hand.

Sanam Teri Kasam
  • Sanam Teri Kasam recently returned to theaters.
  • The filmmakers auditioned over 200 girls for the lead role.
  • The reason for this was the emotional depth required for the role.

The 2016 romantic drama Sanam Teri Kasam recently returned to theaters. While the film struggled at the box office during its initial release, it later became a massive hit on streaming platforms, earning a dedicated fan base.

Interestingly, before finalizing Mawra Hocane for the lead role, the filmmakers auditioned over 200 girls. The reason for this extensive search? The emotional depth required for the role.

“I was told that around 215 girls auditioned for the role, but none of them looked beautiful while crying,” Mawra revealed in a now-viral video. Since the film featured several emotional scenes, this became a crucial casting factor, and Mawra secured the role due to her ability to appear graceful even in distress.

Mawra Hocane and Harshvardhan Rane’s on-screen chemistry was widely praised, making the film a beloved classic over time. As Sanam Teri Kasam re-released in theaters on February 7 during Valentine’s Week, Mawra surprised fans with a personal milestone—her wedding.

On February 5, 2025, she tied the knot with Pakistani actor Amir Gilani in an intimate ceremony. She later shared glimpses of her dreamy celebration on Instagram, which quickly went viral.

Meanwhile, Sanam Teri Kasam 2 is officially in development, with Harshvardhan Rane returning as the lead. The film was announced on September 10, 2024, but the female lead remains unconfirmed. While fans are eager for Mawra’s return, there is no official confirmation, and her involvement remains doubtful.

Saif Ali Khan reveals whether or not he will increase his security post-attack

Saif Ali Khan
  • Saif Ali Khan described the attack on him as “a burglary attempt.”
  • Saif has no plans to increase security or keep weapons at home.
  • That poor guy, his life is more screwed than mine,” said Saif.

In his first interview since the attack, Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan revealed if he is considering improving his house security. Despite the attack, Saif has no plans to increase security or keep weapons at home.

He explained, “Nothing will change. See, if you start doing that… because I don’t feel I’m under threat. It was not a premeditated attack. I think it just was a burglary attempt gone wrong. That poor guy, his life is more screwed than mine.”

He described it as “a burglary attempt gone wrong.” While trying to intervene, he sustained stab wounds to his thoracic spine, requiring surgery to remove a piece of the knife from his body.

He was attacked with a knife during an attempted robbery at his Bandra residence on January 16. The incident occurred at the home he shares with his wife, Kareena Kapoor, and their two children.

When asked if he would have handled the situation differently, he said, “I would put on the light and firstly tell him, ‘Do you know who I am?’ And I think he would say, ‘Oh s**t! I’m in the wrong house.’ And I’d say ‘Right, put the knife down and let’s talk about this.’”

Saif suffered six injuries, including deep cuts, and underwent surgery at Lilavati Hospital. The Mumbai police arrested a Bangladeshi man, Mohammad Shariful Islam Shehzad, in connection with the attack. Saif was discharged on January 21 and was later seen promoting his upcoming Netflix film, Jewel Thief.
