Bollywood actor and Malaysian model spark dating rumours after spotted together
The relationship between Bollywood actor Ishaan Khatter and Malaysian-born model Chandni Bainz has become a hot topic as the two are frequently seen spending time together.
Although there has been no official statement from either party, their closeness has fuelled speculation that they are romantically involved.
Previously, Ishaan has said that he rather not share too much about his romantic relationships as he prefers the focus to remain on his career.
Although the brother of Shahid Kapoor is keen to protect his partner's privacy, he seems to be open about showing affection publicly
"I think it's very important to respect your partner's privacy as well. When something is good for me, I want to protect it. That's my instinct. I don't want to hide or lie or anything like that,' the son of actors Rajesh Khattar and Neelima Azeem reportedly said.
At the same time, the 29-year-old actor also acknowledged that it's difficult to prevent people from taking photos when he's out with his partner.
'I won't stop living my life. I won't stop going out to eat if I want to – life goes on.
"I act for the camera, but I can't live for the camera,' he explained.

No more carrying sick wife up four flights of stairs, viral elderly drink seller moves into landed home
Caprice, known for using his platform to spotlight social issues tracked down the couple and helped them relocate to a landed home, lifting the physical burden. By NURSYAHMINA ZAINAL 05 Aug 2025 04:17pm Ah Yauddin's hardship went viral after a video of him was shared on Instagram, showing how he tirelessly cared for his wife, who is wheelchair-bound due to stroke. - Photo: Instragram / @capricedaddycap SHAH ALAM – When Malaysian rapper Caprice discovered the heartbreaking situation of Ah Yauddin Iriqz, an elderly man who sells drinks at the night market, he did not hesitate to act. Ah Yauddin's hardship went viral after a video of him was shared on Instagram, showing how he tirelessly cared for his wife, who is wheelchair-bound due to stroke. Despite her condition, the man who is suffering from kidney disease continued selling drinks at Pasar Malam Pantai Dalam in Kuala Lumpur to support them both. What moved many even more was the fact that he had been carrying his wife up and down four flights of stairs every day in a walk-up flat with no lift. Caprice, known for using his platform to spotlight social issues, was among those who responded. He tracked down the couple and helped them relocate to a landed home, lifting the physical burden that had weighed on Ah Yauddin for years. Through his initiative, the first year of rent for the new home was fully paid off, giving the couple much-needed stability and peace of mind. But his compassion didn't stop there. Recognising the power of community, Caprice launched a crowdfunding campaign to allow the public to contribute, quickly turning one man's hardship into a shared mission of care and dignity. The response from the public was swift and heartwarming. Instagram users flooded the comments section with words of encouragement and praise. Instagram user @bellazazali wrote: 'MasyaaAllah tabarakallah. Just two days ago, I said in my heart that I hoped someone would help this uncle find a landed home. Subhanallah, the power of Allah — this uncle truly and sincerely loves his wife. Thank you so much, Caprice, for helping and using your platform so that all of us can come together to support him. This is the best content so far. Salute to you.' Another user, @ commented: 'From this uncle's story, we learn three things. First, that true love can last until paradise, InsyaAllah. Second, the importance of patience when facing trials. Third, the value of showing kindness to others. Thank you, Caprice.' User @hafizhamids also praised Caprice saying 'Allahuakbar. You made my day, Caprice. May all your efforts and kindness return to you and your family in the best of ways.' Donations began pouring in, alongside offers of help, messages of hope and expressions of unity. Caprice's gesture gave the elderly couple a fresh start in life. More than that, it sparked a wave of generosity, reminding Malaysians of the strength of compassion and the profound impact of helping others with a sincere heart.

Trump praises Sydney Sweeney ad, American Eagle shares jump most since 2000
US President Donald Trump says that American Eagle's recent marketing blitz with actress Sydney Sweeney is the 'HOTTEST ad out there'. Photos: AP, American Eagle/Instagram American Eagle Outfitters shares jumped the most since 2000 on Aug 4 after United States President Donald Trump touted the company's ads – pushing the retailer's stock into meme stock territory. The shares spiked 24% on Aug 4 after Trump said in a social media post that American Eagle's recent marketing blitz with American actress Sydney Sweeney, 27, is the 'HOTTEST ad out there.' He said American Eagle jeans are 'flying off the shelves'. It is not yet clear whether the ad campaign – which controversially celebrates Sweeney's genetic traits as well as her jeans – is actually convincing shoppers to buy the company's apparel. Analysts say the real test will be how American Eagle performs during the crucial back-to-school season as consumers begin to stock up on jeans and other autumn essentials. So while Trump's comments on Aug 4 do not reveal any new information about the company's performance, they do add to the hype around American Eagle shares. And that has drawn investors betting on the hype itself – a telltale sign of a meme stock. 'What are meme stocks for the most part? Individual investors chasing after the hottest stock,' said Matt Maley, chief market strategy at Miller Tabak & Co. The move on Aug 4 pared the stock's year-to-date decline to 20%. The company has been battered by sluggish demand and last quarter, it registered a US$75 million charge related to a writedown of its spring and summer merchandise. Some traders who drove up the shares on Aug 4 are probably betting that the spotlight on the company will translate into greater sales. But that alone does not explain the magnitude of the share move, Maley said, adding that American Eagle executives should seize on the interest by, for example, issuing more shares. Meme stock darlings AMC Entertainment Holdings and GameStop have done this in the past. Representatives for American Eagle did not immediately respond to a request for comment. 'In the short term, traders are very adept at chasing hype,' said Steve Sosnick, chief strategist at Interactive Brokers. 'If one believes that the more this is talked about, the better it is for the stock, then that certainly is a boon.' 'Whether or not that translates into more or fewer people buying the actual products' after Mr Trump weighed in will not be clear for 'days, weeks or quarters', Sosnick added. The interest in American Eagle is likely to continue, even if there is not another major precipitating event like a social media post by the US president. 'The momentum is there,' Maley said. 'Today's marketplace with algorithmic trading, not only does it create buyers, but it eliminates sellers.' While Sweeney, a sought-after face for brands, has provided a pop for stocks in the past, those gains have not always endured. A year ago, footwear company Crocs disclosed Sweeney as a global spokesperson for its Heydude line. The stock rose 4.1% on the day of the announcement, but since then, shares are down nearly 30% per cent. – Bloomberg

#SHOWBIZ: US actor Ross Butler: I'm a durian fan all the way
HOLLYWOOD: American actor Ross Butler has a deep affection for Malaysia, a country he is connected to through his Malaysian-Chinese mother. Despite his heritage, the 35-year-old, who also has English-Dutch roots from his father, never had the chance to truly explore Malaysia until recently. This changed when he was cast in the upcoming romantic comedy 'Worth The Wait', which was partially filmed in the country. In a recent interview, Butler shared his newfound love for Malaysian cuisine. "I love the food, I'm a big durian guy. Growing up, my mum would get the frozen ones from the store. But trying it fresh for the first time was mind-blowing for real. I love it!" he said. 'Worth The Wait' was shot at popular Malaysian tourist destinations like Batu Caves, Petaling Street, and Dataran Merdeka. The film aims to promote Malaysia as a world-class travel destination by highlighting the nation's diverse culture and natural beauty. When asked about his favourite filming location, the '13 Reasons Why' star chose Batu Caves. "It's mainly because of the monkeys and not so much the steps," he said. "Another fun fact – my co-star Lana Condor is very scared of monkeys, and there was a very big one we had to keep scaring away." Directed by Taiwanese filmmaker Tom Lin Shu-yu, 'Worth The Wait' follows four Asian-American couples whose journeys intertwine as they navigate life's challenges. Producers Dan Mark and Rachel Tan explained that the film had been nine years in the making.
