Nushrratt Bharuccha defends moving model aside at Lakmé Fashion Week after backlash: ‘I was told from backstage…'
The video in question showed Nushrratt making space for herself in the centre of the ramp by moving aside another model. As she reached the end of the ramp, where the models were posing, Nushrratt moved aside a girl, and the two smiled at each other. Moments later, she asked two other girls to stand beside her, completely blocking the previous model from view. The clip sparked criticism of Nushrratt's conduct on the runway, with many accusing her of 'showing attitude'.
Responding to the backlash and explaining her actions, Nushrratt said, "She wasn't even a model—she was one of the designers, one of the children from the NIF class, who didn't know about ramp shows or centre stage. What was I supposed to do? She was standing in the centre, there was loud music, and I was told from backstage, 'Please make your space and take your position.' So how do I make space? Forget being a showstopper—any model who walks knows that you walk to centre stage, then turn and walk back. That's basic."

Meanwhile, Nushrratt was last seen in Vishal Furia's horror film Chhorii 2. Produced by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, Vikram Malhotra, and Jack Davis, the film is a sequel to Chhorii (2021), and also features Soha Ali Khan, Gashmeer Mahajani, and Saurabh Goyal in key roles. While Soha and Nushrratt were praised for their performances, the lack of jump scares disappointed some fans. The film is available to watch on Prime Video. Nushrratt has yet to announce her next project.

5 shows to watch this weekend that will take you to alien worlds
Alien worlds are a great way to indulge in those 'what if' questions and watchers get a chance to see how different life could look with just a twist of imagination. Watching a new planet unfold on screen with its strange landscapes and unfamiliar skies is the great escape. We selected some TV shows that help us escape from the daily grunt of life. These shows let you wander through alien cities, trek across wild terrain, and meet life forms that push the limits of what feels possible. Here are five series that do exactly that, each one serving up a fresh escape for anyone who's ever wondered what might be waiting out there, just beyond the next star. Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (Paramount Plus) This show is a real treat for anyone who loves classic sci-fi exploration. Following Captain Pike and the crew of the USS Enterprise, it's a fresh take that still honours the original spirit. The planets they visit look stunning, from dense alien jungles to icy wastelands and mysterious cities. Each episode feels like a new world, with detailed environments that make the galaxy feel vast and alive. Season 3, which came out recently, keeps pushing the boundaries with its visuals that will make you wish you had a spaceship. For All Mankind (Apple TV+) This alternate history series imagines a world where the space race never stopped, and the results are impressive. The show's depiction of Mars colonies and orbital stations is grounded in real science but doesn't skimp on imagination. The alien terrain on Mars looks both harsh and beautiful. It's a slower burn compared to some, but the visuals and world-building reward patience, making it easy to get drawn into this vision of humanity's future in space. The Expanse (Prime Video) Even though the show ended recently, it remains one of the best examples of detailed world-building in sci-fi. The solar system feels lived-in, gritty, and real, from the dusty asteroid belt to the frozen moons of Jupiter. The mix of political drama and alien technology, especially around the protomolecule, is definitely worth sitting through. The planets and stations are characters in their own right, each with a unique atmosphere and feel. 3 Body Problem (Netflix) Based on the celebrated Chinese sci-fi novels, this series offers something a little different, alien worlds that are strange, complex, and sometimes unsettling. The visual effects bring to life advanced civilisations and cosmic phenomena that feel truly alien. What would you do if you found out an alien civilisation was coming to obliterate your planet, but they're still too far in space and are now dropping clues? It's a cerebral show, with a focus on big ideas and epic scale, and the alien environments reflect that - looking both beautiful and mysterious in equal measure. Alien: Earth (FX) This one isn't out yet but is highly anticipated. It's a prequel to Ridley Scott's Alien films and promises a darker, more atmospheric take on extraterrestrial life. While much of the story is set on Earth, there are glimpses of alien tech and environments. Expect intense creature design and moody visuals that stay true to the franchise's horror roots while expanding the universe. These shows show alien worlds in ways that make those places feel real and inviting, strange and sometimes dangerous. Whether it's the hopeful exploration of Strange New Worlds or the gritty realism of The Expanse, there's plenty here to satisfy anyone looking to escape to the stars for a weekend binge.

Weekend Binge: From Padmaavat To 83, Ranveer Singh's Top 5 Films To Revisit On His Birthday
New Delhi: Ranveer Singh turns a year older on July 6, 2025. This year, the day will be all the more special since it's his first birthday as a father. Deepika Padukone and he welcomed their first child, daughter Dua, last year. From his memorable Bollywood debut with Band Baaja Baaraat to bagging the titular character in Farhan Akhtar's Don 3, Ranveer has indeed come a long way. In his career spanning decades, Ranveer Singh has struck the right chord with fans. He impressed viewers as the charming conman Ricky Bahl in Ladies Vs Ricky Bahl. On the other hand, he evoked a myriad of emotions among audiences with his layered performance in Simmba. On Ranveer Singh's birthday, we have curated a list of his top 5 films that you should revisit: Lootera - (2013) Prime Video Ranveer Singh's performance in this Vikramaditya Motwane directorial is touted as one of his finest, alongside Sonakshi Sinha. His character Varun Srivastav was a striking departure from his quintessential flamboyant on-screen persona. Ranveer's quiet sensitivity and transformation from a sly conman to a man riddled with guilt and love left a lasting impression. Bajirao Mastani - (2015) Apple TV Ranveer Singh did justice to the valiant Maratha ruler Peshwa Bajirao in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's historical drama. He commanded attention with his fiery intensity and regal charm, balancing a warrior's bravado and the vulnerability of a man deeply in love. His powerful dialogue, ' Cheete ki chaal, baaz ki nazar aur Bajirao ki talvaar par sandeh nahi karte, kabhi bhi maat de sakti hai" lives in our minds rent-free. Padmaavat - (2018) YouTube Proving his versatility again, Ranveer Singh slipped into the shoes of an antagonist in Padmaavat. As the tyrannical ruler Alauddin Khilji, smitten by Deepika Padukone's Queen Padmavati, Ranveer brought a visceral and disturbing intensity to his character. His expressions, maniacal laughter and remorseless cruelty sent shivers down our spine. Gully Boy - (2019) - Prime Video Gully Boy is perhaps one of Ranveer Singh's career-defining movies. He played the role of Murad, a budding street rapper with absolute conviction. The actor embodied a raw ambition with emotional complexity. Ranveer's nuanced performance as someone rising from Mumbai's slums earned him the Filmfare Award for Best Actor. 83 - (2021) Netflix Ranveer Singh breathed life into his role as the cricket legend Kapil Dev in this heart-warming biographical sports drama directed by Kabir Khan. With his on-point appearance, applaud-worthy bowling action and pitch-perfect Haryanvi accent, the actor transformed into the iconic captain who led India to its first World Cup in 1983.

Game On In Phulera: Jitendra Kumar To Neena Gupta, Casts Viral Pickleball Photoshoot
Just like the previous seasons, season four of the beloved web series 'Panchayat' has managed to strike a chord with the audience. Adding to the buzz, the makers, Prime Video shared glimpses of the new photoshoot of the 'Panchayat' cast on social media. However, ditching the rural ensemble this time, it is Pickleball season in Phuelra. Set against the backdrop of a tennis court, the photoshoot has Jitendra Kumar, Neena Gupta, Sanvikaa, Chandan Roy, Faisal Malik, Durgesh Kumar, and Ashok Pathak in athletic wear, sweatbands, and visors. They are also seen holding rackets as they face the camera for the photoshoot. The images feature the cast shelling fashion goals in crisp polos, varsity knits, pleated skirts, and stylish tracksuits. Backed by The Viral Fever, "Panchayat 4" has been created by Deepak Kumar Mishra and Chandan Kumar. Penned by Chandan Kumar, this season has been directed by Deepak Kumar Mishra, along with Akshat Vijaywargiya. Jitendra Kumar, Neena Gupta, Raghubir Yadav, Faisal Malik, Chandan Roy, Sanvikaa, Durgesh Kumar, Sunita Rajwar, Ashok Pathak, and Pankaj Jha will be seen reprising their characters from the original drama in the latest season of "Panchayat". View this post on Instagram A post shared by prime video IN (@primevideoin) Raghuvir, who is seen essaying the role of Brij Bhushan Dubey in the show believes that "Panchayat" is loved by all as it shares the everyday stories of small towns. 'It's incredible how Panchayat has resonated with everyone — children, young adults, elders — across villages, cities, and even overseas. When I was in Australia for a play, people of all ages came up to talk about the show," he shared. Putting his finger on the reason for the success of the series, Raghuvir stated, 'At first, I couldn't quite put my finger on what made it so special. But then I realised — this is India, in its truest form. It is the 'simplicity, sincerity, the everyday stories of small towns, told with so much heart, that's what makes Panchayat so powerful.'
