Those who know about Punjabi actor Binnu Dhillon, know about his love for bhangra as well. He has been a professional bhangra performer before he ventured into Pollywood. Even to date, he misses his bhangra days. Perhaps that is why taking to his social media handle, he shared yet another memory of his bhangra performing days.

The picture that he recently shared shows him in traditional bhangra attire. Binnu can be seen clad in a peach kurta with an orange vest and orange turban. He accessorized the look with bold golden color neckpieces and earrings.

Gippy Grewal is one such artist who keeps his audience entertained both on and off the big screen. And by off the big screen we mean, on social media platforms.

Yes, the skinny young boy in a white and blue polo neck t-shirt and dark pants, is Gippy Grewal. The Gabru who today is known as a heartthrob was a complete cutie-pie in his childhood days.

Don’t you agree?

Amid the lockdown, Gippy Grewal treated his fans with a number of things. On one hand, where he hooked them with his songs, on the other, he kept entertaining them with the pictures and videos of his kids. But today, he has shared something different on his social media handle.

He posted an old picture of his, wherein the innocence on his face is winning the internet. The picture is perhaps a decade old, as Gippy is looking very different in it. Right from his hairstyle to his goatee style, everything is way different.

And if you think you are the only one amused to see this dose of nostalgia, let us tell you that it amazed Gippy equally. Thus, exclaiming, Gippy in the caption wrote “Haye Oye ��”.

Meanwhile, on the work front, Gippy Grewal recently released ‘Sone Di Dabbi’. As far as his movies are concerned, the shoot of ‘Warning’ is going on. Further, other projects in his kitty include ‘Posti’, ‘Maa’ and ‘Paani Ch Madhaani’.

Binnu Dhillon is not an avid social media user, but whenever he posts something on his handle, it is worth a watch. For instance his today’s post.

Though a true Binnu Dhillon fan can certainly spot the actor, those who are finding it a little hard, he is the one in red.

Meanwhile, on the work front, Binnu Dhillon has a number of movies on his plate. If the lockdown would have not been imposed, his ‘Gol Gappe’ would have made it to the theatres on April 10th. Besides, he has ‘Phatte Dinde Chakk Punjabi’, ‘Welcome Bhua Ji’, ‘Carry On Jatta 3’ and a lot more movies in his kitty.

Gippy Grewal is one of the Punjabi artists who is keeping himself completely busy amid the lockdown. On one hand, he is enjoying quality time with family, and on the other hand, he is releasing one after another single. And even amid this tight schedule, he found time out to dig out an old picture which is a perfect blast from the past.

The picture features Gippy Grewal, Bhana La, Yudvir Manak and Jassi Longowalia. Though we don’t know exactly how many years old this picture is, we are sure it is from the old trunk, as Gippy and all his pals look so young in the same.

Nevertheless, we can’t ignore the fact that with his current clean shaven look Gippy is trying to prove that reverse aging is possible.

Meanwhile, on the work front, Gippy Grewal today announced his latest single ‘Vair’. He shared the poster of the song on his handle to break the news. The release date of the same is yet to be out.

Taking to his social media handle, Punjabi singer-actor Babbal Rai has shared a blast from the past. He has shared a picture of him which is more than a decade old, to be specific, it is from 2009.

In the click, Babbal Rai is looking very different. Today he has a perfect jawline covered with light stubble, but back then he had a soul patch, and chubby cheeks. Needles to say that he had a childlike innocence and charm on his face.

Don’t you agree?

Meanwhile, on the work front, before the lockdown was imposed, Babbal Rai was shooting for ‘Maa’. Also, the release of his movie ‘Posti’ has been halted until further notice.

Those who love Harrdy Sandhu, also know about his history with cricket. The singer-actor played for India in under-19. However, owing to the elbow injury, he could not continue to play the sport. Recalling the same days, the ‘Soch’ fame singer shared a beautiful throwback picture.

In the click, the 17 year old Harrdy can be seen sharing the frame with his friend Uday Kaul. Sharing the picture, Harrdy wrote - “Cricket days .... With my friend @udaykaul26 at The National Cricket Academy Bangalore. 17 years of age with a dream of playing for India. ❤️

But God had different plans for me. Always Grateful����”

Meanwhile, Harrdy Sandhu will be making his Bollywood acting debut with the movie ‘’83’. It was supposed to be released on April 10th 2020, but owing to the lockdown, the same has been postponed until further notice.

Punjabi actor and filmmaker Binnu Dhillon has digged through the archives of his old memories and shared a gem on his social media handle. The actor has shared an old picture of him with a bunch of his buddies, wherein he can be seen clad in turban.

The picture is so old that it is quite hard to recognise Binnu Dhillon in the same. Thus, sharing the picture, Binnu Dhillon wrote - “Daso main kehre rang di pag bani aa..Old memories..#soni #jiwa #mitta #tarsem #tinu #mintu #sunny and me... ����������������”

For those who haven’t been able to guess who Binnu Dhillon is in the click, here’s a clue. He is the one in green turban.

Meanwhile, on the work front, Binnu Dhillon has multiple movies in his kitty. His movie ‘Gol Gappe’ was scheduled to release on April 10th, but owing to the lockdown the same has been postponed until further notice.

Punjabi actor-writer-director Rana Ranbir has taken to his social media handle to share a blast from the past. He has shared a picture of him from his theatre days, and it was clicked by one of his friends Anil Walia, who passed away 2 years back. Sharing the picture, Rana Ranbir recalled his late friends and penned a beautiful note.

The note read- “Koi satt ni laggi si bas lagan laggi si acting nal. Drama zindgi ban gia si. So sara din unj I bandage la k ghummi gia. Jad koi puchhda tan fer kahani bana k dassda k mamuli satt laggi natak karde hoe. Haan sach eh photo mere darling buddy..pakkey aarhi ANIL WALIA ne khichi si. Vadhia photography krda hunda. 2 saal pehlan alwida keh gia. I love u walia. Tu tan nahi terian yaadan bohat ne yaara.”

Meanwhile, on the work front, Rana Ranbir was shooting for ‘Maa’ before the lockdown. The movie’s production has been suspended until further notice. Also, Rana’s second directorial ‘Posti’, which was supposed to release on March 20th, has also been postponed owing to the outbreak of the Coronavirus pandemic.

These days a lot of Punjabi actors and singers are posting their throwback pictures as well as videos, and the ‘Qismat’ fame director Jagdeep Sidhu is one of them.

Walking down the memory lane, Jagdeep Sidhu has shared a picture of him with his dialogue writers. The picture is from 2013, and the writers standing along with Jagdeep worked with him on his second movie.

Posting the picture, Jagdeep turned nostalgic and wrote - “2013 #justu&me @gitazbindrakhia @burtonritchie #rana .... meri 2nd movie as dialogue writer ... Bhut wadiya din c ... bhut masti kiti c ... time ��‍♀️ ��‍♂️ ��‍♂️ very fast ... #memories”

Meanwhile, Jagdeep Sidhu’s last Punjabi movie was ‘Sufna’. He was the writer and director of the movie, which came from the genre of out and out romance. The movie was being compared with his debut directorial ‘Qismat’. And luckily for him and the actors Ammy Virk and Tania, the movie impressed the audience the same way ‘Qismat’ did.

Babbal Rai has taken to his social media handle to share a throwback picture, and he looks so different in the same. Currently the actor is known to rock a light stubble and heavy mustache, back back in the days, (to be specific in 2013), he was more about clean shaven look. Also, one can’t help but notice the innocence and cute chubby cheeks that make the actor look really adorable.

There’s no denying the fact that Babbal looks really different today. The chubby cheeks are gone and now there’s a sharp jawline. The childlike face now has strokes of maturity that indeed makes him look quite intense and handsome.

Meanwhile, on the work front, Babbal Rai has already made it to the theatres with ‘Ik Sandhu Hunda Si’. Next he has ‘Posti’ and ‘Maa’ on his plate. The former’s release has been postponed and the latter’s shoot has been put on pause until further notice due to the pandemic.

Punjabi celebs really enjoy giving throwback treats to their fans, and this time it is Simi Chahal who has got the netizens hooked with a blast from the past. The ‘Bambukat’ actress has taken to her social media handle to share a picture of her first ever haircut that she took 7 years back.

Wearing a light hued top, Simi Chahal in the click is looking like a doll. She is donning an adorable smile, and those locks falling on her face are making her look all the more innocent. Sharing this click, Simi wrote, “My FIRST ever Haircut ����‍♀️- 7 Years back, powered by Facebook���� #Throwback�� #ProbablyClickedWithAMicromax��#7SaalPehle #NoMakeupKakaForever��������”

Meanwhile, on the work front, Simi Chahal was last seen in ‘Chal Mera Putt’. The movie did a good business at the box office; thus, the makers kick started the shooting of its sequel the same year itself. And Simi will be seen playing the female lead in the second installment.

Gippy Grewal has given a tuesday throwback treat to his fans, as he has taken to his social media handle to share picture from the past. In the click, Gippy Grewal can be seen rocking Salman Khan’s ‘Tere Naam’ hairstyle, and is looking almost unrecognizable in the same.

The man who today is known for the intense expressions, can be seen with a teen boy’s innocence on his face. Also, one can see how fragile framed Gippy was back in the days, while today his lean mean body is the talk of the town.

Sharing this click, Gippy wrote, “Aa tan end si ������ Tere Naam wale Salman khan bande si ������ #gippygrewal #kanwarvirk #ramangill #prince #zindabadyaarian”

Meanwhile on the work front, Gippy Grewal is gearing up for the release of his new song ‘Khatarnaak’. Slated to hit the charts on December 1, the song features Gippy Grewal’s collaboration with Bohemia. Further, on the filmy front, Gippy will next be seen in ‘Ik Sandhu Hunda Si’.

The dashing gabru of Punjabi entertainment world Parmish Verma has taken to his social media story to share a throwback picture. In the click, the ‘Singham’ actor can be seen flaunting off his perfectly shaped body.

Right from the clear collar bones, to those cuts on the biceps, chiseled abs, every inch of his body seems to be carved to perfection. Further, the actor sported small hair back then, and they only add to his ‘angry young man’ look.

This makes it clear that be it 2012 or 2019, Parmish Verma is among the too hot to handle men of Pollywood.

Meanwhile, on the work front, Parmish Verma was last seen in ‘Singham’. Further, his ‘Jinde Meriye’ with Sonam Bajwa was slated to release on October 25, but the movie didn’t make it to theatres. And as of now an update on the new release date is awaited.

Today is the birthday of Punjabi actor-singer turned politician Bhagwant Mann’s. And on this special occasion, Karamjit Anmol has taken to his social media handle to share an old picture from the memory trunk.

The picture features the younger version of Karamjit Anmol and Bhagwant Mann. Sharing the photo, Karamjit Anmol wrote, “Happy birthday #bhagwant maan bro waheguru tainu Chardikla ch rakhan”

Meanwhile, on the work front, Karamjit Anmol was last seen in ‘Unni Ikki’. Next he has ‘Ni Main Sass Kutni’ and ‘Parehuneya Nu Dafa Karo’ in his kitty. Both the movies are from the genre of comedy dramas and will be releasing in 2020.

Sharing the click, Babbal Rai left the game of recognising the stars to his fans. He wrote, “Can u recognise kaun kaun aa pic vich .??? n tag them #majorthrowback �� #littlyf”

Talking of recognising, on the chairs there’s Raja Baath, Kulwinder Billa, Prabh Gill and Amrinder Gill. And in the line below, it’s Harddy Sandhu, Guru Randhawa and Babbal Rai himself.

Looking at the picture, it’s quite obvious that Punjabi stars even back in the days kept pace with the trend, and looked quite hip.

Neeru Bajwa has taken to her social media handle to share a throwback picture of her and loving husband Harry Jawandha from their romantic vacation in Rome. Posing as a picture perfect couple, both Neeru and Harry in their throwback picture are looking simply adorable.

While sharing the picture, Neeru wrote, “#throwback ... us in Rome ❤️ ... the most romantic place on earth @vanmysteryman05 ��”

Commenting on the click, Neeru’s sister Rubina Bajwa wrote, “You guys look like babies @vanmysteryman05@neerubajwa ��” and agreeing with her baby sis, the Pollywood queen gave a quirky reply that read, “@rubina.bajwa we still lol”. On the same hand, Harry too left a sweet comment on the photo and wrote, “Seems like yesterday my sweet love @neerubajwa”

Meanwhile, on the work front, Neeru Bajwa was last seen in ‘Shadaa’ alongside Diljit Dosanjh. The movie has completed more than 50 days and is still winning hearts of the audience. The next project that the actress has announced is ‘Koka’, in which she for the first time will be seen sharing the screen space with Gurnam Bhullar.

Generally we see celebs posting their throwback pictures on social media, but recently we noticed video director Arvind Khaira sharing a throwback picture of Jassie Gill. He shared an old picture of Jassie Gill from the year 2012 and along with it, he wrote the whole tale behind the pic.

He wrote, how back in the days, due to lack of money and resources, adding effects to a video was so hard. He added how he used his own personal DSLR to get the right effect, as the camera team thought it would be too risky for their equipment to go on the rig.

His exact caption read, “Photo is blur but story behind it is interesting.. Still is from video “Vigre Sharabi” @jassie.gill (2012) .. Tusi eh soch rahe hone what it is .. Its Snorricam to get special effects in video in which your subject doesn’t move but your background does.. to get a dizzy effect.. That time there was no one who had snorricam in North India .. so we made it in our workshop (ustaad Youtube).. we used our own Dslr for this shot. Because camera team refused to risk there camera on the rig. But when video released everyone was talking about only that shots .. At that time there was not enough budgets and now not enough time �� .. I was in college that time ..”

Meanwhile, on the cinematic front, Jassie Gill announced that he will be seen playing the lead role in ‘Daddy Cool Munde Fool 2’. The movie will hit the big screen next year in 2020. In the same year, Jassie Gill’s second Bollywood outing ‘Panga’ alongside Kangana Ranaut will be making it to the theatres.

Besides his singing and acting, Punjabi artist Ninja is known for his perfect built. From flaunting off chiselled abs to having perfectly pumped muscles, Ninja has a body to die for. However, Ninja didn’t look this way from the beginning. Prior being a sensation in the Punjabi entertainment world, Ninja was overweight. A proof of the same is his above shared picture. Ninja is the one standing in the blue tee-shirt.

This picture of Ninja is from 2009. The singer actor who today has a jawline, back then had chubby cheeks. The pic indeed proves that he had a long and hard journey of flab to fab.

Meanwhile, on the work front, Ninja was last seen in ‘High End Yaariyaan’. Next in line for him is ‘Zindagi Zindabad’ and ‘Doorbeen’. Both the movies are releasing this year, and he even has a project planned for 2020. Titled ‘Good Luck Jatta’, the movie will not only star Ninja but will be produced under his banner. It will be his debut Punjabi production.

Punjabi-Hindi actor Mukul Dev made his way to Pollywood in 2012 with the movie ‘Burrah’. Today, recalling his debut days, Mukul Dev shared a throwback picture from the sets of ‘Burrah’ with the whole cast.

Sharing the picture, Mukul wrote, “Burrah was my first Punjabi movie ever. It was a dance movie and I dunno why till today it reminds me of Footloose... With a scurry of chubby checker and the boys...haaaa!!! Well say hello to the cast then!!! #burrah #bhangrafunk”.

Mukul Dev will next be seen in ‘Sarbha: Cry For Freedom’. It’s a Kavi Raj directorial period drama bringing forth the real-life incidents of freedom fighter Kartar Singh Sarbha and Ghadar Movement. The movie was earlier slated to release on May 24th, but the same has been pushed. A new release date is awaited.

Parmish Verma is one of the Punjabi actors whose perfectly ripped body raises the mercury. But this hot-bod wasn’t made overnight, the ‘Shada’ has been working on it since the past 12 years. This little secret Parmish Verma unveiled while he shared a throwback picture of him today.

Along with the picture, he wrote, “Gane hit hoye te ni Gym join keeta, 12 Saal Hoge Lohe naal Loha Hunde...! #OldDays#ManlyBeach #Australia” Be it 12 years, less or more, the ripped body is certainly too hot to handle.

On the work front, Parmish Verma recently released his first outing of the year ‘Dil Diyan Gallan’. Post that, now there are two more movies that the actor has in line - ‘Singharm’ and ‘Jinde Meriye’. Both of these star him with Sonam Bajwa, and while the former is slated to release on August 9, the latter will make it to the theatres on October 25.

Gurpreet Ghuggi is one of the finest artists in the Punjabi entertainment world. He has not just made his place as an ace comedian but as an exemplary actor with movies like ‘Ardaas’, ‘Son Of Manjeet Singh’ and more. He has spent more than a decade in Pollywood and still continues to contribute to the industry. Today, while walking down the memory lane, Gurpreet Ghuggi found a picture of him from his younger days and shared it on his social media handle.

As evident in the picture, now comparatively broader, Gurpreet Ghuggi had a very thin frame back in the days. Also in the photo, Ghuggi is riding a bicycle with someone sitting in the front instead of back, and this again talks about the little quirks that the actor is known to have.

Meanwhile, on the work front, there are a couple of movies Gurpreet Ghuggi has in his kitty for the year. After hitting the screen with ‘Uda Aida’ on February 1st, he will next be seen in ‘Band Vaaje’, which is releasing on March 15. Thereafter, on April 12 with the release of ‘Manje Bistre 2’, he again will be coming on the silver screen. Then on May 31st, he will be coming back to hit the box office with ‘Punj Khaab’, and a month and 19 days later in July, ‘Ardaas 2’ will also feature him.
