To commemorate 60 years of Kutiyattam's institutional journey, the Department of Kutiyattam at the Kerala Kalamandalam Deemed to be University for Art & Culture is organising the International Festival of Kutiyattam (IFK-2025). This landmark event celebrates the classical Sanskrit theatre's legacy and its evolution within a public academic institution since its formal inclusion in Kalamandalam six decades ago. The festival will be held at Kalamandalam campus, Cheruthuruthy, from July 29 to August 2, 2025. Over the last sixty years Kerala Kalamandalam has significantly contributed to the sustenance of the world's oldest living Sanskrit theatre tradition, nationally and internationally, through its repertoire and academic excellence. The five-day event brings together practitioners, scholars, and enthusiasts from across the world.

Major Highlights of IFK-2025 include daily performances by leading Kutiyattam artists including Padmasree Kalamandalam Sivan Nambuthiri, Kalamandalam Ramachakyar, Ammannur Kuttan Chakyar, Kalamandalam Girija, Kalamandalam Eswaranunni, Usha Nangiar and Kapila.

Meet Andrea Ivanova: The woman with the world's largest lips who spent over $26,000 on lip fillers
Andrea Ivanova: While Indian influencer Uorfi Javed recently made headlines for dissolving her lip fillers after nine years, one woman has taken the opposite route – and she's become world-famous for it. Meet Andrea Ivanova, the Bulgarian woman with the world's largest lips, who has spent more than $26,000 on lip fillers and undergone dozens of procedures in her quest to stand out, according to Daily Mail. Yes, you read that correctly! Andrea Ivanova has transformed herself into a living, doll-like figure through an intense series of lip injections and facial surgeries. In 2022 alone, she reportedly had around 32 cosmetic procedures to achieve her extreme look, aiming to resemble a Bratz doll. Who Is Andrea Ivanova? Born in Bulgaria, Andrea Ivanova began her cosmetic journey in 2018. At just 27 years old, she has already undergone an extensive range of aesthetic enhancements – including lip fillers, cheekbone augmentation, chin reshaping and elongation, and jawline definition. Her ultimate goal is to become the woman with the largest lips and cheeks in the world. Despite the criticism and difficulty in finding love due to her unusual appearance, Andrea has remained determined to continue altering her face. She even revealed 'before' pictures showing her natural look with normal-sized lips – a stark contrast to her dramatically enhanced present-day appearance. A Unique Beauty Standard Andrea says she's never been interested in 'ordinary beauty'. She believes that natural looks are boring and prefers exaggerated features. 'I like exaggerated things like huge lips, a face full of fillers, dramatic make-up,' she said, reported Daily Mail. 'Natural beauty is boring to me, so I decided to radically change my appearance.' For Andrea, the lip injections and other procedures are more than a makeover – they're an expression of identity. The Painful Price of Perfection In her quest for transformation, Andrea has even pushed the limits of cosmetic science. At one point, she underwent six facial procedures in a single day — a move her usual doctor refused to approve. Not one to back down, she found a surgeon in Germany willing to carry out the procedures. The treatments were not without pain. Andrea experienced extreme discomfort in her cheekbones, jaw, and chin following the multiple injections. She reported a pulling sensation across her face and swelling that made it hard to smile. 'I have pain all over my face right now... my jaw and chin hurt a lot,' Andrea confessed. 'But I know this is temporary and part of the healing process.' A Risky Obsession? Even though Andrea is thrilled with her transformation, medical professionals are growing increasingly concerned. Her German doctor, who once agreed to the intense treatment sessions, is now warning her of serious health risks. One of the biggest threats is necrosis – a condition where body tissue dies due to restricted blood flow. The NHS warns that this can result from trauma, chemical exposure, or overuse of fillers, and in severe cases, it can be fatal. Andrea acknowledged the risks, including swelling, high body temperature, and inflammation, but says she's not afraid. 'You shouldn't judge people for their appearance,' she said. 'It's a matter of personal taste, and I feel happy with the way I look.' No Plans to Stop Despite repeated warnings from medical professionals and the physical toll the procedures take, Andrea Ivanova has no intention of slowing down. She's already planning her next trip to Germany to have more lip fillers and facial injections done. Her story continues to spark debate on social media – some admire her confidence, while others question the dangers of extreme cosmetic enhancements. One thing is clear: Andrea is determined to keep her title as the woman with the world's largest lips – no matter the cost. Andrea Ivanova's journey is a bold and controversial one. From spending tens of thousands of dollars to pushing through pain and risk, she has truly redefined what it means to follow your own beauty ideals. Whether you view her as brave, extreme, or misunderstood, there's no denying that Andrea's story challenges traditional views of beauty. Her transformation may raise eyebrows, but for Andrea, it's simply self-expression through lip injections and cosmetic artistry.

Soni revealed, 'My heart goes out to everyone who does. More power to all of you. A world war was fought for what was right and what was just. Many died, but many were saved.

Soni Razda talks about the Israel-Palestine conflict Soni highlighted that a section of Jews opposes the atrocities against Palestine.
