Reliance Foundation's Isha Ambani was bedazzling at the Met Gala 2025 in designer Anamika Khanna's creation. However, it was her chunky diamond necklace that piqued the Internet's interest.
Netizens suspected that Isha, the daughter of Mukesh Ambani, the richest man in India, was wearing the Jeanne Toussaint necklace, a $150 million ( ₹ 1,267 crore) Cartier piece featured in the 2018 film Ocean's 8.
Donned by Anne Hathaway's character for a heist in the movie, the necklace once belonged to the Maharaja of Nawanagar.
'Is Isha Ambani seriously wearing the Ocean's 8 necklace?' a social media user asked.
Another added: 'Isha is wearing the actual necklace that was featured in Ocean's 8 movie. Yes, this Cartier diamond necklace was once worn by the Maharaja of Nawanagar, and it featured in Ocean's 8 movie.'
Trivia: The necklace, originally designed for a man, was resized by 15-20% for Hathaway's role
While the social media users were scrambling around to figure out if it really was the Ocean's 8 necklace, Isha Ambani gave a quick walk-through of the many jewels she wore for the extravagant fundraiser.
Isha, when asked about her jewellery pieces, touched the necklace with brick-sized diamonds and said, 'This is my mom's' without elaborating any further.
She said that almost every jewellery piece she was wearing for the night, except for the Tiffany rings, belonged to her mother, Nita Ambani.
'Mostly, all my mom's jewellery,' she said.
Isha Ambani was dressed in a white geometric corset, black tailored pants and an intricate white cape by designer Anamika Khanna.
Anamika drew inspiration from Black dandy style to suit the Met Gala 2025 theme 'Tailored for You,' a nod to the exhibit 'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,' and gave it a more appealing touch with semi-precious stones and traditional pearl work.
Stylist Anaita Shroff Adajania shared the creative challenges she had faced to find the perfect fit for Isha and the many breakthroughs that led to her final Met Gala 2025 look.
From hidden Easter egg motifs to custom craftsmanship, Anaita unpacked the symbolism, silhouette, and serendipity behind Isha's ensembles.

In the video, a Black man can be seen entering Govinda's restaurant, holding a food packet. He then approaches the food counter and asks the two women behind it if it is a vegan restaurant. 'No meat, no onion, no garlic,' one replies. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'Are you sure there is no meat?' he presses. The women reaffirm and gesture to a sign outside clearly indicating it's a vegetarian restaurant. The man then reveals a KFC fried chicken basket, sets it on the counter, and begins eating a chicken leg. One of the women inquires about it, quickly realising it's meat. She asks him to leave, while the other employee seeks assistance. Unfazed, the man continues eating the chicken leg. 'You want some?' he offers, holding out the half-eaten piece to the shocked staff member. He then approaches another employee, who repeats that they don't serve meat, as he dangles the chicken from his mouth, offering it again. A customer intervenes, saying, 'Excuse me, you are violating someone's religious practices. That's not fair,' prompting the man to shout, 'Free the chicken!' before leaving the restaurant.

Or are people waiting to use or misuse someone who doesn't know what they're doing?' A third user condemned his 'filthy and sick mindset,' stating, 'He achieved nothing by harassing people! Zero achievement but created nuisance.'

Abhishek Kumar On Reuniting With Ex-GF Isha Malviya: 'It Was A Very Good Moment…'

Nothing spices up a cookery show like a hint of dating history. Laughter Chef Season 2 isn't just about recipes – it's become the site of a heartwarming reunion. Isha Malviya finally met her exes, Abhishek Kumar and Samarth Jurel, on stage again, stirring both fans and awkward memories. Ahead of the semi-final, Times of India TV caught up with Abhishek and Samarth. Abhishek recalled how he took the bold step to reconnect: 'It was a very good moment and I was the one who took the initiative to talk to her. Krushna bhai took us towards Isha to dance on her popular song. Woh gaana kitna viral hogaya hai. She is doing some great work and I feel everyone is doing good job in their respective space. Shayad aisa portray hojaata hoga that we hate each other but there is nothing like that. Nobody hates anyone and we all are somehow connected to each other." He went on to downplay drama and encourage viewers to tune in: 'It is a very small industry and kabhi na kabhi ek dusre se takrana hai so we took everything very normally. Even she (Isha) handled everything in a good way. I would like to tell the viewers to please watch the semi‑finale it is going to be an amazing episode." Isha was then seen meeting Abhishek and sharing a warm hug with him. Samarth Jurel was also seen getting awkward upon meeting Isha during the show. Isha and Abhishek's past includes Udaariyaan, where Abhishek first dated Isha, followed by her high‑profile relationship with Samarth during Bigg Boss 17. Samarth entered the Bigg Boss 17 house as a wild card contestant. Upon entering Salman Khan 's show, Samarth introduced himself as the 'current boyfriend" of Isha, which left Abhishek shocked and devastated. However, Samarth and Isha also broke up soon after Bigg Boss 17 ended, i.e. in April 2024. Confirming the same, Samarth told Pinkvilla, 'Yes, we are not together anymore. Break up hogaya hai (We have broken up)." 'I don't want to talk more about this. This is all I have to say," he added. The two also unfollowed each other on Instagram.

Hundreds of vehicles get stuck in massive traffic jam in Gurgaon, netizens compare it to Bengaluru

A video of a traffic-choked road in Gurgaon has caught the Internet's attention, triggering widespread reactions. The footage showcases the daily ordeal of commuters stuck in heavy traffic during rush hours, a sight that stunned many users. However, some users, in the comments, shared that they have grown used to it. The now-viral video, reportedly filmed near Cyber Hub in Gurgaon's Sector 24, shows hundreds of vehicles crawling along a busy highway, barely moving forward. The footage has racked up over half a million views, along with thousands of likes and comments across social media. Sharing the video, an Instagram handle @nomadic_ankit_ wrote, 'Ab fark nahi padta (It doesn't bother anymore)' with 'Ab toh aadat see hai mujhko aise jeene ki,' playing in the background, a line from a popular Bollywood song that loosely translates to, 'Now I've gotten used to living like this.' Watch the viral video here: A post shared by Ankit Tiwari (@nomadic_ankit_) While many viewers were shocked by the extent of the congestion, others shared hilarious reactions. 'Problem is people made this norm. No one's complaining to the government,' a user wrote. 'Most of the people don't have driving sense….and create chaos,' another user commented. 'Why is it not mandatory for organizations having more than say 200 employees to have atleast one bus service,' a third user reacted. 'What Gurgaon needs is, a metro that connects huda to igi and a bridge that takes people coming from Gurgaon to expressway directly without cybercity traffic. That bottleneck/ curve is a nightmare,' a fourth user said. 'So true, the condition is very bad here. Giving a tough competition to Bangalore,' another user chimed in. Recently, heavy rainfall in Gurgaon severely affected the city's road infrastructure, leaving several major routes damaged. Among the worst-affected are two key roads managed by the Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA), which developed deep potholes and visible cracks after the downpour, the reports said.
