Nimrat Kaur: In real life, I'm most protective of my younger sister
Nimrat opened up about a deeply personal side of herself, revealing how their protective instinct toward their younger sister mirrors certain emotional beats of Indrani towards Abhi.
Nimrat said, 'In real life, I'm most protective of my younger sister. There's this innate sense of being a quasi-parental figure to her. I've always wanted to shield her from the hardships I've faced, hoping life would be a little kinder to her.'
'Even though she navigates the world so beautifully on her own and she's incredibly intelligent and self-made, I still can't help but feel protective. Ever since we were kids, I'd get fiercely defensive if anyone was even slightly rude to her. I've taken matters into my own hands more than once, even in school! So yes, that protective instinct runs deep.'
'Kull' is all about a dysfunctional family, strained relationships and a debauched royal family.
The JioHotstar-Balaji Digital series will offer a glimpse into the Raisinggh family's dark and dangerous world. The series, which is set to premiere on May 2, also stars Amol Parashar, Riddhi Dogra, Gaurav Arora, Rohit Tiwari, and Rahul Vohra.
The riveting saga is created by Ekta R Kapoor and Shobha Kapoor, directed by Sahir Raza, and produced by Balaji Digital. 'Kull' will stream on JioHotstar from May 2.
Talking about Nimrat, the actress on April 23 joined the menstrual hygiene initiative.
Speaking about her involvement, Nimrat shared, 'Menstruation is a necessary, natural, and crucial part of any woman's health. Yet it continues to be shrouded in silence and stigma, especially in the underprivileged areas.'
'When Hemkunt Foundation approached me with their 'Dhabba Nahi' campaign, I felt an urgent and deep sense of responsibility to be a part of it. Affordability and access to menstrual products should not be a luxury - it's a fundamental right.'
She added: 'I hope this effort not only helps dispel this ridiculous taboo around something so basic to life but also ensures normalising conversations around periods, so no girl ever has to feel shame or miss school because of her period and no adult woman should ever feel awkward about anything related to periods.'

Alcaraz's never-give-up mindset is the hallmark of a true champion: Sachin Tendulkar
London: Sachin Tendulkar became the most recent Indian icon to be seen watching the intense action that unfolded in the Wimbledon semi-finals at the Centre Court of the All England Tennis Club on Friday. A gripping day unfolded on the Center Court as Carlos Alcaraz and Taylor Fritz indulged in a gritty battle which the former won 6-4, 5-7, 6-3, 7-6 (6). Although the first semi-final provided much excitement, World No.1 Jannik Sinner breezed past Novak Djokovic in straight sets to set up yet another final against the Spaniard, a month after the two went toe-to-toe in a grand encounter in the Roland Garros final. Tendulkar revealed his favourite tennis players, his headband inspiration from John McEnroe and why he has huge respect for Carlos Alcaraz. 'I grew up admiring John McEnroe. I remember all my friends supported Bjorn Borg, but for some reason, I always backed McEnroe. I would even wear a headband like him, hoping people would call me McEnroe while I walked around with my friends. In more recent years, though, it has to be Roger Federer. I've enjoyed watching Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, all of them, but somehow, Roger takes the cake. 'Among the current players, Carlos Alcaraz really impresses me - his energy is infectious. I love the spring in his legs, his attitude, and the mental toughness he showed at the French Open. That never-give-up mindset is the hallmark of a true champion. Not all tennis players become champions, but the preparation and rigour they go through - I have huge respect for that,' said Tendulkar to JioHotstar. When asked which Indian cricketer would he choose to partner him in doubles, Tendulkar replied, 'I've played doubles with Yuvraj Singh before. We teamed up against some of our 2003 World Cup teammates, and we ended up becoming champions. So I'd settle for Yuvraj again - no question.' Tendulkar was also present on Day 1 of the Lord's Test between India and England. The former batter rang the bell to commence the day's play and on the same day, his portrait by artist Stuart Pearson Wright was unveiled in the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) Museum.

Ajay Devgn Reacts To Son Of Sardaar 2 Clashing with Kajol's Sarzameen: 'We Don't…'
Ajay Devgn returns as Jassi in Son of Sardaar 2, releasing July 25, same day as Kajol's Sarzameen on OTT. He addressed the clash and Sonakshi Sinha's absence. Ajay Devgn returns as Jassi, 13 years after Son of Sardaar was first released in 2012. The film is slated for release on July 25, the same day as his wife Kajol's Sarzameen. The only difference is that while Ajay's film is headed for the theatres, Sarzameen releases on JioHotstar. At the film's trailer launch in Mumbai, Ajay exclusively addressed the clash while speaking to News18 Showsha. He also shared why the makers didn't include Sonakshi Sinha's cameo, even though she was the leading lady in the 2012 film. 'That is on OTT. So there is no clash," Ajay playfully said, while talking about Kajol's Sarzameen releasing on the same day as Son of Sardaar. He further added, 'We do not discuss work a lot at home. Actually, not at all. We are just like a normal family at home and work is something we hardly discuss. You have reminded me that her film is also releasing on 25th. And I am sure she doesn't remember that my film is releasing on the same date. She knows I know but it's not that important. We don't take work home." The actor also spoke about why the makers didn't include Sonakshi Sinha's cameo in the film. He told us, 'The story moves on, and so we needed the cast to move ahead. That was the plan." Ajay Devgn also commented on the ongoing Marathi versus Hindi language debate in Maharashtra. The actor leaned into his Singham roots and declared with a smirk, 'The only answer I can give about the language thing is — 'Aata Maajhi Satakli'," while striking the iconic pose from Singham. Meanwhile, the trailer Son Of Sardaar 2 was released on July 11. It began with a reference to its 2012 prequel. The film, which is now set in Scotland, features Ajay Devgn as Jassi. Shortly into the trailer, Ajay takes a dig at Pakistan, calling them out for dropping bombs in our country. There is also a major Sunny Deol reference from Border. Also featuring Mrunal Thakur, one can also see a little more into her chemistry with Ajay, after their hook step from Pehla Tu Duja Tu went viral. Mukul Dev also appears on screen for the last time, accompanied by Vindu Dara Singh, Ravi Kishan and Kubbra Sait. Directed by Vijay Kumar Arora, the film stars Ajay Devgn, Ravi Kishan, Sanjay Mishra, Mrunal Thakur, Neeru Bajwa, Chunky Panday, Kubbra Sait, Deepak Dobriyal, Vindu Dara Singh, Roshni Walia, Sharat Saxena, Sahil Mehta, and the late Mukul Dev. Presented by Jio Studios and Devgn Films, Son of Sardaar 2 is a production by Devgn Films and SOS 2 Limited, produced by Ajay Devgn and Jyoti Deshpande. N R Pachisia and Pravin Talreja are also producers, with Kumar Mangat Pathak as co-producer. The film is scheduled to release on July 25, 2025.
