A Career-Changing Turn
After a long-awaited journey since its Cannes debut, Anurag Kashyap’s Kennedy finally dropped on ZEE5 on February 20, 2026.

Earlier this month, a video of Sunny at a high-profile Mumbai event went viral for all the right reasons. While posing for paparazzi in a stunning plunging brown gown, Sunny faced a minor wardrobe malfunction (a visible nipple patch).
The Reaction: Her husband, Daniel Weber, quickly stepped in to shield her and adjust the outfit, a gesture that fans are calling “pure couple goals.”
Social Media Buzz: The video has garnered millions of views on Instagram, with fans praising the couple’s quick thinking and composure.
