Bigg Boss 18 fame Shrutika Arjun has captivated audiences not just with her performances, but also with her expressive eyes, a feature that has become her subtle signature. In an exclusive chat, the actress opened up about how her eye color has shaped her journey, her early days with makeup, and how she embraces complete transformation for her roles.
In a heartfelt conversation, Shrutika reflects on how her unique eye color has often drawn attention, she shares , 'Yes, absolutely. Whether in the industry or while travelling, people have always been kind and generous with compliments about my eye color and shape. But personally, I feel every eye is beautiful—whether it's bold and dark in the South, grey in the West, or hazel in the North. Every creation of God is unique, and I truly admire that diversity.
'
Shrutika talked about her eye color ever affecting a role, said, "I don't think I've ever lost a role because of my eye color. If anything, people have often noticed me for it. But at the end of the day, what truly matters is your craft, how you live the character and bring it to life. Eye color or looks might get attention, but it's the performance that leaves a lasting impact.'
Her signature eyeliner look has also become something fans often associate with her. She said, 'Back in school, my mom never let me wear makeup except eyeliner. That was the only thing I used during school plays, college events, even weddings. Over time, I mastered it. Now, I do all my makeup myself, and I can literally pull off a perfect winged liner even in the middle of the night!'
Known for her natural elegance, Shrutika doesn't shy away from transformation when the role demands it, saying,'If a role demands a different eye color, I'm totally open to it.

Acting is about transformation—you're not playing yourself. Whether it's your look, walk, or voice, everything changes. If it's a challenge, that makes it even more exciting for me as an actor.'

Squid Game's Wild American Remake_If It Happens, DiCaprio Might Be the Main Guy!

The Squid Game Craze Isn't Over-Now Hollywood Wants In Just when you thought Squid Game fever had finally cooled down, director Hwang Dong-hyuk has thrown gasoline on the fire. In a recent chat, he said that if a US remake of Squid Game ever gets the green light, he'd want none other than Leonardo DiCaprio as the lead! Yeah, you read that right-Jack from Titanic playing the most desperate contestant in a deadly game. Imagine the memes, the Oscar buzz, and the absolute chaos on social media if this actually happens. For Indian youth who grew up watching both K-dramas and Hollywood blockbusters, this is like your two favorite worlds colliding. It's the kind of crossover you'd expect in a Marvel movie, not in a gritty survival drama. Why DiCaprio? And Is This Actually Happening? by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Beachfront Living in Mumbai at Sunteck Beach Residences Sunteck Realty Learn More Undo So, why DiCaprio? Hwang Dong-hyuk didn't just pull his name out of a hat. The director has previously mentioned that DiCaprio is a fan of Squid Game, and there's been playful talk about maybe reaching out to him for future projects. But here's the twist-there's no official American Squid Game in the works yet. Netflix is reportedly working with David Fincher (yes, the Fight Club guy!) on a US spin-off, but nothing has been confirmed about casting or even if the show will keep the Squid Game name. There's some drama behind the scenes, too. Fincher apparently wants to change the title to something more familiar for American audiences, while Netflix wants to stick with the global brand. So, the whole project is kind of in limbo right now. But if it does move forward, DiCaprio's name is definitely in the mix, at least in the director's dream casting list. What Would a US Squid Game Even Look Like? Let's be real-if Squid Game gets the Hollywood treatment, it's going to be wild. Imagine the games: instead of Ddakji or Red Light, Green Light, maybe we'd get dodgeball or musical chairs, but with a deadly twist. And the prize money? If the original was 45.6 billion KRW (about ₹275 crore), you can bet the US version would crank it up even more, maybe throwing in a Tesla or a beach house in Malibu for good measure. For Indian viewers, this is a bit like when Bollywood remakes a South Indian hit-you're excited, but also a little nervous about what they'll change. Will it keep the raw, brutal edge of the original, or will it get all glossy and lose its bite? And will DiCaprio pull off the desperate, everyman vibe that Lee Jung-jae nailed? Only time will tell. The Fandom Is Already Losing Its Mind The idea of DiCaprio in Squid Game has already set the internet on fire. Some fans are hyped, others are skeptical. But everyone agrees-it would be a massive pop culture moment. For young people who grew up idolizing both Korean and Western stars, this is the kind of news that makes you want to binge-watch the original all over again, just to imagine how it could look with a Hollywood twist. And honestly, isn't that what makes global pop culture so fun? Seeing your favorite stories get reimagined, remixed, and sometimes totally reinvented for new audiences. What's wild is how much this mirrors the way Indian cinema borrows and adapts global hits, making them our own with a desi flavor. Whether it's a remake or a spin-off, the excitement is all about seeing something familiar through a totally new lens. Here's hoping if DiCaprio does join the Squid Game universe, he brings the same intensity and chaos we love in both K-dramas and Hollywood blockbusters. PS: If this ever happens, someone needs to cast Shah Rukh Khan as the VIP guest. Just saying.

5 best weapons for Lupa in Wuthering Waves

Image via Kuro Games Lupa isn't just another pretty face with a big sword in Wuthering Waves . She's an absolute menace on the battlefield — bringing hard-hitting AoE, smooth attack animations, and juicy Resonance Synergy to any team she steps into. Whether you're rocking her as your carry or just flexing her support potential, the right weapon can make her go from strong to unstoppable . Here are the five best weapons for Lupa that unlock her full potential in WuWa. 1. Wildfire Mark – The Absolute Best If you're lucky enough to get your hands on Wildfire Mark , don't think twice—this is Lupa's best-in-slot weapon. With a massive Crit DMG sub-stat (48.6%) and a passive that boosts ATK by 12%, this Broadblade is a natural match. What makes it so special for Lupa is how it interacts with her Intro Skill and Resonance Liberation, giving her a 24% Liberation DMG boost for 6s, and extending it with Heavy Attacks. Oh, and let's not forget—every extension also grants 24% Fusion DMG Bonus to the whole team for a whopping 30s. That's Lupa being the MVP twice over . Prepare These Builds For LUPA! Best Weapons, Echoes & Teams! Wuthering Waves 2. Verdant Summit – A Close Contender Another stellar choice for Lupa is Verdant Summit. With the same 48.6% Crit DMG sub-stat as Wildfire Mark, this weapon brings insane value—especially when you lean into Lupa's Heavy Attack-focused kit. Casting her Intro or Liberation skills ramps up her Heavy Attack DMG Bonus by 24%, and that stacks twice. The synergy here is real—Verdant Summit turns Lupa into a relentless DPS machine, and it only gets better with proper rotation timing. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Brandi Passante's Is So Thin Now & Looks Like A Model. Lawyers Favorite Undo 3. Autumntrace – Battle Pass Beast Don't sleep on this 4-star Battle Pass weapon. Autumntrace might not have 5-star stats, but it delivers where it matters: Crit Rate (20.2%) and an easy-to-stack ATK% boost through Basic and Heavy Attacks. The best part? The buff lasts 7 seconds, stacks up to 5 times, and is super easy to maintain. It's tailor-made for Lupa's close-combat aggression and a strong pick if you're looking for budget brilliance.

Lustrous Razor – Energy for Days A standard but solid option, Lustrous Razor gives Lupa a nice 36.4% ATK boost and even better—Energy Regeneration (12.8%). That means more Resonance Liberation uptime, which is where she shines brightest. It also stacks a Resonance Liberation DMG boost (7%) up to three times—great for building a consistent damage rhythm, especially in sustained fights. 5. Ages of Harvest – Good, Not God-Tier This weapon offers a lot—24.3% Crit Rate, and passives that boost Resonance Skill DMG by 24% after using her Intro or Skill. That's solid for burst rotations, and while it's not perfectly optimized for Lupa, it still gets the job done. If you already have Jinhsi's signature weapon, it'll hold up well until you land something better suited for Lupa's core mechanics. If you're gunning for peak Lupa, Wildfire Mark is the no-brainer pick. But even without it, she slays with Verdant Summit or Autumntrace. Just focus on boosting her Crit stats, Resonance/Heavy DMG, and Energy Regen—and watch her tear through mobs like paper.

DDG vs Reggie (Lil Rodney Son) drama explained: All about the viral controversy between the two rappers

Image via @PontiacMadeDDG & @girlhefunny_1/X The internet's latest Twitch-tainment war is between none other than DDG and Reggie, aka Lil Rodney Son. What started as a casual reaction to a DDG album has spiraled into a full-blown back-and-forth involving music, relationships, fatherhood, and even the loss of family members. And yes, it's messy. Here's everything you need to know! It All Started With a Reaction Clip Reggie was doing what most streamers do: reacting to viral content. During a Twitch stream, he saw a TikTok clip of DDG discussing how people were faking support for his music. Apparently, DDG felt Reggie was throwing shade, calling his album mid, even though he'd previously praised it. DDG clapped back on his own stream, saying: 'You just listened to my old said it was hard, bro. Like, stop faking, bro.' He even told Reggie to 'watch full clips' before speaking on his name. Reggie Fires Back — And He's Not Holding Back Reggie wasn't here to play either. He doubled down saying he never said the whole album was good , just that maybe 'one or two tracks were decent.' He also called DDG out for being too pressed about a relationship situation that had nothing to do with him. His words? 'You're a grown a** man, bro. Like, why are you even worried about another man's relationship?' And then came the spice: 'Sometimes you got to mind your business.' Reggie Brings Up DDG's Family And It Gets Real Personal Just when we thought this might stay music-related, Reggie brought up DDG's son, Halo, and his relationship with Halle Bailey. In a now-viral moment, Reggie said: 'Where your son at, n***a?' He mocked DDG for being involved in Twitch drama while having father duties. He even said DDG would have to 'live with this s**t for the rest of your life.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Beachfront Living in Mumbai at Sunteck Beach Residences Sunteck Realty Learn More Undo At this point, it was no longer about music — it was about life choices, family, and deep personal stuff. DDG Goes Nuclear From Italy DDG wasn't about to let that slide. From an IRL Twitch stream in Italy, he launched a brutal response with the title: 'REGGIE DAD GONE.' He told his viewers: 'I've lost all respect for that little a** boy… You bring my family into it, I'll bring yours into it.' Yeah, he went scorched earth. The gloves were off. No limits. Reggie Responds (Again), But Chooses Restraint Despite being furious, Reggie said he wouldn't go as far as dissing the dead. 'Mentally, you gotta protect your peace, gang.' He also called out DDG for using his late father as a background on stream, calling it 'lame' and 'unnecessary.' In an era where clout is currency, this feud blurred lines. What started as a music reaction ended up dragging in kids, dead parents, and real-life wounds. And while some fans are calling it 'content,' others think it went too far.
