Actor Sonu Sood has come out in support of Alia Bhatt after the actress faced heavy trolling on social media over her recent appearance at the Cannes Film Festival 2026. While Alia attended the prestigious event as the global ambassador for L'Oréal Paris, sections of the internet criticised her red carpet looks and public appearances, leading to widespread online discussions. Amid the criticism, Sonu Sood took to X (formerly Twitter) to share a strongly worded message encouraging positivity and support instead of negativity. Without directly addressing the trolls, the actor highlighted the importance of celebrating Indian artists representing the country on international platforms. “When one of our own walks onto an international stage, it should be a moment of pride, not a reason to search for flaws. Not every achievement needs validation from cameras, headlines, or strangers to be meaningful. The courage to stand there, represent your craft, and carry your journey with grace is ...

Mohan Kapur made India proud as he appeared in crucial roles in three Marvel titles – Ms Marvel (2022), The Marvels (2023) and Daredevil: Born Again (2025). Yet, he decided to pause his Hollywood career. In an exclusive interview with Bollywood Hungama, Mohan Kapur explained the reason. Mohan Kapur explained, “The industry is going through a little bit of turmoil over there. Plus, with chacha Trump (President Donald Trump) behaving the way he is (the situation is quite uncertain). In November 2025, my work visa expired. I am not renewing it just now. I fear that if I renew it and head to the States, I may have to return dejected. The makers may reason, ‘Why do we need actors from outside? Aren’t there Asians living in the States? Why don’t we cast them’? I don’t want that situation. Hence, I said, ‘Isko (Trump) jaane de. Once he leaves, I’ll return’.” Mohan explained why this has not affected him, “I am an actor. You put me anywhere. I’ll do my job. My attitude is ‘Raat gayi baat gayi...
