Sara Ali Khan’s style files are a fashion treat each time she steps out and about. Her hot take on fashion can totally rip up any fashion rule book. The Kedarnath actress currently has a tied-up social schedule as she is busy with a marathon of promotions for her upcoming movie, Metro…In Dino. What’s more, she is delivering fashion moments, one fabulous look at a time. Her latest ensemble is all things pretty as she stepped out in a blush pink mini dress.

The sleeveless number featured a halter-neck design and bow detailing on the back. The dress was adorned with intricate floral embroidered details all over, particularly visible on the voluminous skirt and hemline. The outfit was fitted in the bust but flared into a flowy skirt going downward, creating a playful and elegant silhouette. The hemline of the dress falls above the knee.

A few days ago, Sara Ali Khan stepped out for another round of promotions. The millennial star looked elegant in a structured white pantsuit, making a bold statement that merged power dressing with feminine grace. The outfit featured a sharply tailored double-breasted blazer adorned with gold buttons, broad lapels and a slight taper at the waist.

The matching white trousers were perfectly flared towards the hem, complementing the striking appearance. The pants added a soft yet volumnious look to the otherwise crisp outfit. Together, the pantsuit had an elegant aura that is minimalist but served boss lady vibes to the hilt.

Actor Esha Gupta was rumoured to be dating cricketer Hardik Pandya a couple of years ago. The actor addressed the rumours during her recent appearance on Siddharth Kannan’s YouTube channel. Hardik Pandya was married to actor-model Natasa Stankovic. They announced their divorce through an Instagram post last year. 

What’s Happening

• During the interview, Esha revealed there was a possibility of a relationship back then which didn’t materialise. 
• “Yeah, for some time we were talking. I don’t think we were dating, but yeah, we were talking for a couple of months. We were at that ‘maybe it will happen, maybe it won’t’ stage. It ended before we even reached the dating stage. So it wasn’t dating-dating. We met once or twice, that’s it. So yeah, as I said, it was a couple of months and then it ended,” Esha said. 
• “There was no drama or bitterness. It just wasn’t meant to be,” was her response when she was asked if relationship was on the card.
• Esha Gupta was one of the few celebrities who called out Hardik Pandya’s problematic comments during his appearance on Koffee With Karan, 2019. 
• However, Esha was not in touch with the star cricketer at the time of the incident and it didn’t bother her much.

Esha Gupta’s Films

Esha was last seen in Ek Badnaam Aashram 3 Part 2 on MX Player alongside Bobby Deol. She also played DCP Laxmi Rathi in One Day: Justice Delivered.

In A Nutshell

The countdown to Hrithik Roshan’s War 2 has officially begun. On Thursday, May 26, the actor unveiled fresh posters of himself, Kiara Advani and Jr NTR from the upcoming action drama, taking the excitement of fans a notch higher. 

Hrithik Roshan returns as Major Kabir in War 2. The poster offers a close-up shot of the actor looking fierce. He sports a bruised avatar, holding a weapon, and sporting a grim expression. 

The caption read, “This time he is ruthless, merciless, relentless and ready for WAR! Are you? The countdown begins now. 50 Days to War 2.”

“I like to time the ball; (I’m) not a big hitter of the ball and, for the last six years, it’s always (been) a work in progress and it’s still a work in progress.

“So, to actually get a hundred in this format, getting it before in Test cricket and one-day cricket which are more suited to my batting, but getting it in this format is pretty special because it’s not one of my strengths,” she said.

Mandhana added that she had been working on her power hitting.

“The improvement… and I’m trying to work a lot on my power hitting and to see that come through, which is a really nice feeling,” she said.

The left-handed opener, who had topped the batting charts last year with 763 runs in 23 T20Is, including eight fifties, said her celebration after scoring the ton was directed at teammate Radha Yadav.

“That’s actually a funny story. I think three days back, me and Radha Yadav were having a conversation that, (and) you know all these girls are really hard on me sometimes, they keep telling me (and) she was telling me that it’s high time you get a century in T20s,” Mandhana said.

“‘You keep getting out in 70s, 80s and you’re not doing justice to your talent’ and all of that stuff. I was like, ‘okay Radha, I will see now’. This time, I’ll try and get (it) in one of the matches in the series.

“I did not think that it would come in the first match. The finger was towards her that ‘see, I got it today’. It’s pretty frustrating to get out in the 70s and 80s over the last 10 years,” she added.

Mandhana heaped praise on India bowlers, especially 20-year-old debutant Shree Charani, who bagged four wickets.

“The way the bowlers bowled and executed the plans was just amazing. That makes our job very, very easy when they bowl like that,” Mandhana said.

“They all were really focused. They knew their plans, especially (for) Shree to come in the first match and bowl (like that)… we saw what she could do in WPL a little bit. She was always looking really like a good bowler. But today, the way she actually bowled was amazing,” Mandhana said.

“(For) all the bowlers, the plans were pretty clear. Even when we were inside and there were a few wickets fell and Nat (Sciver-Brunt) was on one end. The plan was pretty clear to try and execute your best ball to Nat and give a single to her, which they did brilliantly throughout.” Mandhana said a big knock from opener Shafali Verma was also round the corner.

“I’ve seen Shafali bat last 7-8 days amazingly well in the nets, so I don’t see a big knock too far because the way she’s been hitting the ball.

Badale’s lawyer Adam Speker said Kundra, who is married to Bollywood star Shilpa Shetty, had threatened to report serious allegations to Indian authorities in a “blackmail attempt”.

Kundra, however, says he has been told information about the claimants and his lawyer William McCormick that, if that is not true, “in due course it will be exposed”.

Kundra had to forfeit his 11.7% stake after being found guilty in 2015 of betting on IPL games in a scandal which led to the Rajasthan Royals being suspended for two years, Speker said.

He added in court filings that Kundra emailed Badale “out of the blue” last month, alleging he had been “misled and defrauded of the rightful value of my 11.7% stake”.

The email to Badale said Kundra had filed a complaint with Indian authorities and threatened to make a report to India’s Cricket Board (BCCI).

Kundra added, however, that he was willing to discuss a deal involving “the restoration of my original equity or compensation reflecting the true and current valuation of the Rajasthan Royals franchise”.

Speker said Kundra also messaged disgraced IPL founder Lalit Modi this month, saying Badale “did not realise cheating me of the true value would cost him dearly”.

Badale and his Emerging Media Ventures, which holds a 65% stake in Rajasthan Royals, obtained an interim injunction against Kundra on May 30, preventing Kundra from breaching the settlement agreement by making disparaging statements.

Kundra’s lawyer McCormick said Kundra accepted the injunction should continue until a full trial of the lawsuit.

“It is not an admission that anything improper has been done or is being threatened,” McCormick said.

Actress and model Shefali Jariwala, popularly known as the ‘Kaanta Laga Girl’, died on Friday. She was 42. Several photos and videos from the actress’s last rites have been doing the rounds on social media. 

In one of the videos, Parag Tyagi can be seen kissing his late wife’s mortal remains. Shefali’s mother, visibly emotional, can also be seen beside her mortal remains. 

Following the news of Shefali Jariwala’s death, her Bigg Boss 13 co-contestants Mahira Sharma, Arti Singh, Paras Chhabra and Rashami Desai visited the crematorium to offer condolences to the family.

Actor Shehnaaz Gill, who also appeared with Shefali on Bigg Boss 13, was present at the cremation. Mika Singh also attended the last rites of the actress.Shefali Jariwala reportedly suffered a cardiac arrest at her Mumbai residence late Friday. Parag Tyagi rushed her to the hospital, where doctors declared her dead on arrival.

Visuals from outside the hospital showed Parag in tears. The family has not released an official statement yet.

Shefali first rose to fame with the 2002 music video Kaanta Laga, which became a massive hit. She later appeared in the film Mujhse Shaadi Karogi, alongside Akshay Kumar and Salman Khan. 

In later years, she transitioned to television, participating in the dance reality show Nach Baliye with her husband Parag Tyagi, and later entering the Bigg Boss 13 house.

There are several videos that showcase foreigners learning about Indian culture. It could be through art, dance, food, or even learning various Indian languages. Now, a video of a German woman explaining why she speaks English with a distinctly Indian accent has grabbed the internet’s attention. The clip, shared on Instagram, features Klara, a German teacher currently living in India. It shows her addressing a common question she receives: “Why does this white girl have an Indian accent when she speaks in English? She’s not Indian.”

Responding to this, Klara clarified, “No, I’m not Indian. I’m actually German and I should have a German accent while speaking in English. But, I’ll tell you why I have an Indian accent.”Further, she explained, “The second reason is that I speak Malayalam. And while speaking Malayalam, you don’t say everything in pure Malayalam. You use English words in between. And how do you pronounce those English words? In an Indian accent. Imagine I want to say, I want a fridge in Malayalam. I pronounce ‘fridge’ like Indian English. Now imagine I would use British English. I think that’s the main reason.”

Since being shared, Klara’s post has gone viral, garnering more than 638,000 views and over 24,000 likes. 

Reacting to it, one user wrote, “My American accent and cadence changes based on who I am speaking to as well! I didn’t notice until my son asked me why I was talking to an Indian man with an Indian accent. And another lady asked me why I was speaking so fast when most speak slowly here in Georgia- she was from New York. We adapt to be understood
