Disha Patani makes a soothing first impression in Awarapan 2's first song Ve Junoon The first song from Awarapan 2 is finally here, and while the melody stays true to the emotional world the franchise is known for, it is Disha Patani who leaves her mark.

Amid film promotions, Akshay Kumar marks Yoga Day with community session In the midst of promoting his upcoming film Welcome to the Jungle, Akshay Kumar kicked off International Yoga Day by hosting a community yoga session, spending the morning with fitness enthusiasts and reinforcing a message he has championed for decades that fitness is a way of life, not a seasonal trend.
