Neena's outfit at the trailer launch of her film has garnered widespread attention, with fans praising her for setting new norms for senior women and defying age-based stereotypes. Several social media users also defended her choice of outfit when some criticised the look, saying she should 'dress according to her age'.
One social media user wrote, 'How can you expect women to be this confident when they're bashed left, right and centre', with another mentioning. 'Skin show & confidence is not the point here. It's about her living her life on her own terms by wearing what she likes'.
'Stunning for her age and it's most likely the younger ones who just wish they could look half as stunning as she does… even at the own age who have felt the need to belittle her,' one comment read, and one shared, 'Sometimes women live their whole life according to the society pressures and feel caged...inally at this age she is feeling free... nobody should comment bad about her'.
One comment read, 'Just loved the way she looks. It takes a lot of guts to come out wearing something like this at this age. We always associate age with dressing. But i think what's more important is how u carry yourself. A lot of youngsters are wearing skimpy clothes believing that they look hot but sadly they look so vulgar. And she at this age looks effortless'.
'Why are people so intimidated by this cleavage of her's??? Guys, it is just a dress and that is just a body part. This is not even looking close to vulgar. GROW UP.' one mentioned, and another shared, 'Outfit ... she is gorgeous at this age'.
'Age is just a number,' one posted.
Neena will next be seen in Metro...In Dino. The film boasts of an ensemble cast including Aditya Roy Kapur, Sara Ali Khan, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Ali Fazal along with Anupam Kher, Pankaj Tripathi, and Konkona Sen Sharma.
Directed by Anurag Basu, the film will narrate stories showing different couples navigate the complex emotions that come with love and commitment. Produced by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, Anurag Basu, and Taani Basu, the film's music has been composed by Pritam. The film will hit the cinemas on July 4.

Makeup Mantras with Masaba Gupta: Designer shares her go-to colours, tools and tricks to feel 'brighter and confident'
Masaba Gupta, who wears multiple hats as a fashion designer, actor and entrepreneur, has a playful yet powerful sense of style. She often blends her fashion choices with makeup that is minimal, yet impactful. The 35-year-old's new personal role as a mother hasn't stopped her from innovating for her fashion or makeup brand. In fact, she says motherhood has led to an evolution of her idea of beauty. Masaba Gupta shares her makeup mantras.(Instagram) In Makeup Mantras for HT Lifestyle, Masaba Gupta goes unfiltered about what beauty means to her, her everyday makeup routine, the colours that make her look better, the tools and hacks she loves, and a DIY trick passed on from her mother Neena Gupta. Q. What is beauty to you, and how has the term evolved for you? Masaba Gupta: Beauty to me is a form of self-expression... the bravest form of self-expression. And it has definitely evolved for me ever since I have become a mother, especially to a baby girl. Now I think that more than trying to fit in, one is just constantly and day-to-day in a mode of self-acceptance, because your body is changing every day, how you look in the mirror changes every day. It just comes from a place of accepting that you are doing your best with the change, growth and evolution, and coming to terms with it. Beauty becomes more about embracing the now - the reality of a situation - and the reality that beauty is not really one single definition! That it actually means different things at different phases in one's life. And I truly believe that inner beauty is something that always shows on the outside. Q. How would you describe your personal approach to beauty—minimal, bold, or mood-driven? Masaba Gupta: My personal approach to beauty has always been minimal, but it's also very mood driven. But I think I lean towards makeup that is classic and close to my natural skin as possible. It's just about accentuating what I have - the features, and not trying to look like someone else. Q. What does your everyday makeup routine look like, especially when you're short on time? Masaba Gupta: My everyday makeup routine is very simple. I will only wear a little bit of cream blush and possibly a little bit of color on my lips. If I'm feeling like I want to do matte, I do a nice matte lipstick or I do lip oil. If I do lip oil, it's usually in a berry or a guava tone. And if it's a matte lip colour, then it's mostly in the nude, pink or brown shades. Q. Is makeup more about self-expression or confidence-boosting—or both? Masaba Gupta: It's self-expression. It's also confidence boosting. It's also a coping mechanism for most people. It's something that is transformative. It is something that is a mood enhancer. Because I think when I wear makeup, I feel very much in charge. And I know that, especially postpartum, if I do put on a little bit of colour on my cheeks and my lips, I do feel brighter, more confident, better through the day. Q. What are the five beauty products you absolutely cannot do without? Masaba Gupta: The five beauty products that I absolutely cannot live without are my cream blush, the lip oil, kajal, possibly some serum tint - like a tinted moisturizer that has skin-loving benefits. And the last would be bronzer! Q. What's the one skincare step you never skip before applying makeup? Masaba Gupta: Applying a ton of moisturizer or any hydrating serum. I think when you have a hydrated canvas of a face, it always helps makeup settle better. Q. Which lipstick shade is your signature - the one you reach for again and again? Masaba Gupta: In terms of lipsticks, I mostly will wear a nude brown. That's my signature shade. In my LoveChild range, there is a shade called Touch Me Not 2.0. It's a beautiful nude, almost like a sand, a dark sand brown. And it's very close to my natural lip color. So I like it because it just gives a little pop. But it's also very natural on my skin.

Masaba Gupta: My go-to lipstick formula is a matte. Q. What is a lipstick colour that works best for the Indian skin tone, according to you - and why? Masaba Gupta: I think the lipstick color that works best for Indian skin is something that is brown but with a hint of pink or mauve in it. That works because Indians do have skin that is slightly uneven and its pigmented, of course. It is also hot here and humid, so we have enlarged pores just naturally. When you have a nice brown lipstick that's soft and when you have something that's a little bit of a matte or a creamy matte kind of shade, it helps in making at least the skin look a little bit even. Masaba Gupta prefers nude lipstick shades for a minimalistic look.(Instagram) Q. Any tricks you use to make your lip colour last longer? Masaba Gupta: Always put a ton of petroleum jelly or any lip balm that you like as a thick layer while you're doing your foundation, so that until you reach your lip, it's nicely hydrated. Never completely take off the lip balm. Just gently dab with a tissue and once you've done your application of the lipstick, you should always just take a little thin film of tissue and dab some setting powder or some loose powder on top of it. Just a little dab and it goes a long way because it really helps in keeping the lipstick on for longer. Q. When was the first time you ever used lipstick - how old were you? Did your mother react with a smile or an angry face? Masaba Gupta: The first time I used lipstick was probably for an annual day in school. I was very young - in the 6th or 7th grade. I remember it was a beautiful brick red lipstick. I was playing a gypsy girl and we had to wear this really dramatic makeup with winged eyeliner and bright lipstick. I found it such a cool look! My mother was very happy because she put the lipstick and the makeup on for me, and she loved the outcome. Q. Do you have any DIY beauty hacks or traditional tips passed down from your mom? Masaba Gupta: Yes! Whenever I have a long shoot day, and I know I'm going to have makeup on me for maybe 10-12 hours, I always carry a muslin cloth and keep dipping it in ice water. I just squeeze all the water out and just keep putting it on my face. It's quite nice because when it's hot on a set and you have a full face of makeup on, you also want to keep looking fresh and not have the makeup just kick up or crack. It's nice because it helps you feel better. It's also nice and cool. The pores stay nice and closed, at least for that much time.

Ranbir Kapoor Dropped THIS Veteran Singers Biopic For Nitesh Tiwaris Ramayana- Check Details
New Delhi: Bollywood actor Ranbir Kapoor has already generated buzz with his upcoming movie Ramayana, where he will be seen portraying Lord Ram. The much-anticipated film will be released in two parts the first in Diwali 2026 and the second in Diwali 2027. However, this commitment came at the cost of another major project. In a conversation with BBC News, director Anurag Basu revealed that Ranbir Kapoor had to let go of the long-awaited biopic of legendary singer Kishore Kumar. 'Ranbir had a tough choice in life — Kishore Kumar or Ramayana. It was very difficult for him. In the end, he chose Ramayana, and I think it was the right decision,' Basu said. Basu, who was set to direct the biopic, has previously collaborated with Ranbir on acclaimed films like Barfi (2012) and Jagga Jasoos (2017). The duo has often expressed their desire to work together again, but conflicting schedules have stood in the way. 'We keep trying to work together, but it's just not happening,' Basu added. A report by Indian Express stated that after Ranbir turned down the biopic, Aamir Khan was reportedly considered for the role of Kishore Kumar. However, Basu did not confirm this and told Mid-Day, 'Until everything is finalised and the contract is signed, I don't think I should speak on it. This project has seen many ups and downs over the years. So, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it happens this time and I go on set with the story, which I've been trying to tell for the last decade. I won't jinx it by speaking about it.' Apart from Ranbir Kapoor, Ramayana also stars Sai Pallavi, Sunny Deol, Arun Govil, Ravi Dubey, and Lara Dutta. The two-part epic is set to hit theatres on Diwali 2026 and Diwali 2027. Meanwhile, Anurag Basu's directorial Metro... In Dino premiered theatrically on July 4 and received positive reviews. His next film, starring Kartik Aaryan and Sreeleela, is reportedly scheduled for release in 2026.
