On this special occasion, people celebrate in various ways, making plans and cherishing moments with loved ones. Celebrities, too, share their thoughts on love and what it truly means to them. Here’s what five renowned stars have to say about love.

Bollywood gets many things wrong, but imbuing romance into love stories isn’t one of them. In fact, if this genre had a physical form, it would probably be a man standing in the rain, holding a mandolin, waiting for a train that has already left. Or, more accurately, it would be Shah Rukh Khan, arms wide open, standing in the middle of a mustard field. If there is one thing Bollywood has perfected over the decades, it’s the grand, sweeping, goosebumps-inducing love stories that make real-life relationships look like dull PowerPoint presentations. However, let’s face it—whether we admit it or not, we love every second of it.

Pori Moni has been away from the silver screen for a while, making headlines for reasons beyond cinema. This time, her latest film “Kagojer Bou” premiered on the Bongo app yesterday (February 13). This release marks her long-awaited return, directly on an OTT platform instead of theatres.

The acclaimed actress and film producer Reese Witherspoon recently took to Instagram to reveal that Lexi Minetree has been chosen to portray Elle Woods in the forthcoming “Legally Blonde” prequel series, “Elle”. The show will follow Woods during her high school years before she went off to Harvard.

Having brought the global celebration of love commercially to the country in 1993, Rehman is now set to mark the 32nd anniversary of its local observance by unveiling an award that celebrates the spirit of love.

Paired for the first time on the big screen, Mithila and FS Nayeem create a striking dynamic, with Nayeem stepping into the shoes of Hossain Majhi, a role that stands in contrast to his previous work.

These include Iqbal Hossain Chowdhury’s “Boli”, Shankha Dasgupta’s “Priyo Maloti”, Amitabh Reza Chowdhury’s “Rickshaw Girl”, Akram Khan’s “Nokshi Kanthar Zamin”, Nurul Alam Atique’s “Peyarar Subash”, Gias Uddin Selim’s “Kajol Rekha”, Dhrubo Hasan’s “Fatima”, Mishuk Monir’s “Deyaler Desh”, and Raihan Rafi’s “Toofan”.

As this year’s Valentine’s Day unfolds today, television networks are set to captivate audiences with a vibrant lineup of programmes designed to bring romance, drama, and entertainment into every home. Today’s schedule promises an exciting mix of star-studded dramas, telefilms, and live shows, perfect for setting the mood on this special day of love.

Some connections are simply meant to be. For Nidra Dey Neha and Prantar Dastider, it all began on the set of Goutam Koiri's directorial web-film “Antonagar” (2023). When they first worked together, little did they know that the film would change their lives forever. 

In the Bangladeshi showbiz landscape, there has only been one Humayun Faridee. The immensely popular artiste across three mediums — stage, television dramas, and films — did nothing but devote himself to his acting career. In films, he began his journey as a hero but later set unforgettable records as a villain. The late actor was honoured with the Ekushey Padak after his passing.

With Pohela Falgun and Valentine’s Day around the corner, a host of web films, dramas, and songs are set to release, adding to the festive fervour. While some have already premiered, others are slated for release next week.

As part of the “Railway 200” campaign, Yash Raj Films (YRF) will showcase the musical “Come Fall In Love - The DDLJ Musical” to honour both milestones. The production will be directed by Aditya Chopra, the visionary behind “DDLJ”.

John Lithgow, a highly respected actor, has been a prominent figure in film and television for decades. He’s known for his roles in movies like “The World According to Garp”, “Terms of Endearment”, and “Footloose”, as well as TV series such as “3rd Rock from the Sun”, “Dexter”, and “The Crown”. More recently, he appeared in FX’s “The Old Man” and Focus Features’ “Conclave”.

This Valentine’s Day, “Next Door Neighbour”, a playful and heartwarming love story, is set to premiere on Bongo. Marking the directorial debut of Mahmuda Sultana Reema, the drama stars Aisha Khan as Bipasha and Partho Sheikh as Adnan. 

Both Afzal and Mou are optimistic about the drama and have invited viewers to enjoy it after its broadcast. The drama has been produced under the banner of Rangan Music and will be available on their YouTube channel during the upcoming Eid.

Harrison Ford is reportedly arranging to bid farewell to Hollywood, although he has one final silver screen role ahead.

While his death was initially reported by The Asahi Shimbun in December, it has only now reached a global audience following the tribute to Mamiya at the 2025 Annie Awards.

Miles Teller has secured a major leading role. The “Whiplash” and “Top Gun: Maverick” star will portray Italian cycling legend and World War II hero Gino Bartali in the upcoming biopic “Bartali”.

An exciting live-action event titled "Squid Game Parody" took place February 10 at Kick Off Football Ground in the capital’s Purbachal. Inspired by the hit global series “Squid Game”, the event, hosted by Stayverz Bangladesh, put participants through a series of thrilling challenges, blending entertainment with high-stakes competition.

The film has already been screened in the United States and is receiving attention from international audiences. In Bangladesh, it has been shown in several theatres, including Monihar in Jessore, and on multiple university campuses, such as Jahangirnagar University.
