Actress Soundarya Sharma on her journey, struggles and more
In an interview with DNA India, Soundarya reacted to concerns about the film placing more emphasis on the appearance of female characters rather than giving them meaningful roles.
Soundarya was surprised to hear that, and she really had no time to scroll through such reviews due to being busy counting the box office numbers. 'I think the makers would be the right people [to answer], because an actor is just subjective to someone's vision.
It's made in a very light way and with heart. I don't know kaun hai yeh log jo iss tarah baat kar rahe hai (I don't know who these people are who are talking like this),' she stated.
Social media reaction
Many Reddit users reacted to the matter with mixed opinions. Some criticised her for giving such a vague answer, while others appreciated her efforts in shaping her career without having any connections in the industry.

She made noodles from scratch and broke the internet — meet Jaipur's viral aunty
Homemade noodles aren't something you see every day — especially not made by hand, in bulk, with zero fuss and a whole lot of flair. That's exactly what has people glued to a now-viral video posted by Instagram creator @foodwalebhaiya, where a woman from Jaipur is seen turning dough into perfectly shaped noodles right in the middle of Ashok Nagar. The video is simple, unfiltered, and oddly satisfying. A big ball of dough, wrapped tightly in cloth, is slammed against a table in rhythmic thuds — no machines yet, just elbow grease and years of practice. She then moves on to a massive manual extruder where she feeds in dough chunks, calmly shaping them into uniform noodle sheets. There's no high-end kitchen, no food processor in sight. Just a woman, some tools, and a sharp workflow that's clearly been perfected over time. Once the dough is flattened and dusted with flour, she resets her machine, feeds the sheets back in, and out come thin, uniform strands of noodles — the kind you'd happily order at your local Indo-Chinese joint. She gives them a light steam, stacks them in portions, and gets them ready for the pan. But the video doesn't stop there. Viewers also get to watch her cook them — and honestly, that might be the best part. She heats some oil in a wok, throws in chopped onions, capsicum, and carrot, then adds the freshly made noodles.

No frills, just solid flavour. The caption reads, "Jaipur's Viral Aunty Noodles. Aunty's Cafe Ashok Nagar Jaipur." It's not fancy, but it says it all. This isn't some restaurant with neon lights and curated plating — it's real food made by someone who clearly knows what she's doing. While the video has racked up lakhs of views, not everyone agrees on how to feel about it. Some users are cheering her on for the sheer effort, calling it "pure hard work" and "authentic local food done right." Others seem unsure about the hygiene or setup — but even they can't deny the noodles look seriously good. And in an age where we've gotten used to opening packets for dinner, something about this kind of hands-on, slow-made cooking hits different. For those who've grown up eating noodles from street stalls or late-night takeout boxes, watching this process reminds you of what goes into making food from scratch — the kneading, the prepping, the cooking, the care. There's also the joy of seeing regional food creators get the spotlight for doing what they've always done — without filters or fluff. And beyond the nostalgia and the skill, there's another reason to love this: health. Homemade noodles made from wheat flour and steamed instead of deep-fried? That's already a win. You skip the preservatives, the MSG, and get something fresh, filling, and more nutrient-dense than your usual instant pack. Whether you're team instant or team from-scratch, you've got to admit — Jaipur's viral aunty is doing something special. In a world where everyone's chasing shortcuts, she's showing how real, local food is still alive and well — and people can't stop watching.

Hrithik Roshan takes a break for a cozy movie night with Saba Azad and son Hrehaan ahead of 'War 2' release
With War 2 gearing up for its grand release on August 14, Hrithik Roshan took a moment to hit pause on work and spend some quality time with his loved ones. Over the weekend, the actor was spotted at a theatre, accompanied by his elder son Hrehaan Roshan and girlfriend Saba Azad . The casual outing quickly made waves online, as photos and videos of the trio surfaced across social media platforms. Hrithik Roshan's get-away with Saba and son Hrehaan In a social media post shared on Instagram, Hrithik is seen exiting a building, flanked by his security team, while paps try to capture the moment. Walking just behind him were Hrehaan—wearing a nasal strip—and Saba. Notably, Hrithik's younger son, Hridhaan Roshan, was not present during this outing. Hrithik kept it comfortable yet stylish with a purple t-shirt, grey trousers and a blue denim jacket. He finished off his outfit with a black cap. Hrehaan wore a blue tee and a pair of grey trousers which mirrored his father's casual look. Saba looked trendy in a black crop top and a classic pair of blue jeans. Hrithik-Saba at their best Hrithik and Saba have frequently been spotted at events, traveling together, or just out for an enjoyable, low-key evening. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Free P2,000 GCash eGift UnionBank Credit Card Undo They have never hesitated to show off their relationship affectionately in public. Fans also adore the easygoing friendship between Saba and Hrithik's sons which is clearly seen when they are together. On the professional front, Hrithik is set to return to the big screen as Kabir, the intense Indian spy, in Ayan Mukerji's highly anticipated 'War 2', and backed by Yash Raj Films, the sequel stars Jr NTR and Kiara Advani alongside Hrithik. All about 'War 2' trailer The trailer, which was unveiled recently, offers a glimpse into the intense world of War 2. Kabir is seen renouncing his identity and personal ties to become a shadow figure. Jr NTR makes a powerful entry as Vikram, a man ready to confront dangers no one else dares to. The story also weaves in a romantic thread between Kabir and Kavya, played by Kiara Advani. Action-packed sequences, explosive confrontations, and a gripping rivalry between Hrithik and Jr NTR form the crux of the trailer, with Kiara also getting her fair share of screen time in action scenes—suggesting a strong presence in the narrative. While fans are eager to see Hrithik in his action avatar again, 'War 2' will have a tough challenge ahead. The film is set to clash at the box office with Rajinikanth's much-awaited 'Coolie', directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj . With both films carrying high expectations, the Independence Day weekend promises a blockbuster showdown.
