December 23, 2025, turned out to be a significant day for Bollywood fans, delivering a mix of long-awaited clarifications, exciting sequel updates, and a viral dose of nostalgia. The entertainment sphere was abuzz with Sunita Ahuja finally speaking out on persistent rumors about her husband Govinda, Sharman Joshi addressing the possibility of a '3 Idiots' follow-up, and an official release date being locked for Ranveer Singh's much-anticipated 'Dhurandhar 2'. Adding to the day's charm was a muddy, joyful throwback photo of Salman Khan with two iconic figures from cricket and music.
Sunita Ahuja Sets the Record Straight on Govinda Rumors
In a candid conversation with ETimes, Sunita Ahuja opened up about the tumultuous year of 2025, which was marred by persistent gossip about her husband, veteran actor Govinda. The couple had previously quelled divorce rumors in 2024, but whispers of Govinda having an affair with a young Marathi actress continued to make headlines.
Sunita did not hold back, stating that she considers 2025 a "very bad year" due to these allegations. She expressed her firm belief that the woman in question is not an actress, remarking, "actresses don't do such bad things." She accused the individual of being motivated by money rather than genuine affection for Govinda. On a positive note, Sunita highlighted the success of her YouTube channel, which she launched in 2025, thanking her supporters and even sending love to her detractors.
Sequel Speculations: From '3 Idiots' to 'Dhurandhar 2'
The day also brought significant updates for fans of two major film franchises. First, actor Sharman Joshi finally broke his silence on the incessant rumors about a sequel to the blockbuster comedy-drama '3 Idiots'. Speaking to the Hindustan Times, Joshi expressed hope that the project materializes but clarified he has not received any official communication.
He revealed that past buzz often turned out to be for advertisement campaigns. Joshi stated that only the creative masterminds—director Rajkumar Hirani, writer Abhijat Joshi, and star Aamir Khan—would be in the know and working on it if there is genuine potential.
In more concrete news, the spy thriller 'Dhurandhar 2' has been officially slated for a pan-India release. As reported by Variety, the sequel will hit theatres on March 19, 2026. The film will be released simultaneously in Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam, targeting a global audience. The sequel promises to pick up right after the gripping cliffhanger of the first film, which followed a decade-long Indian spy mission called 'Project Dhurandhar'.
A Viral Throwback: Salman Khan's Muddy Farmhouse Fun
Ahead of Salman Khan's birthday, a delightful throwback picture sent the internet into a frenzy. The photo, shared by Khan's brother-in-law Atul Agnihotri on Instagram, captures a moment of pure, unadulterated fun at Salman's Panvel farmhouse.
The image features a mud-splattered Salman Khan with his arms casually draped around the shoulders of cricket legend MS Dhoni and Punjabi music superstar AP Dhillon. All three are flashing easy, relaxed smiles, suggesting they were having a blast. Dhoni stands on the left, AP Dhillon in the middle, and Salman on the right, in a frame that beautifully bridges Bollywood, sports, and music.
This day in Bollywood served as a perfect microcosm of the industry's ecosystem—addressing personal controversies, fueling anticipation for future projects, and celebrating the off-screen camaraderie that often captivates the public's imagination as much as the on-screen magic.
