Pooja Hegde Pays Homage to Italian Sensation Monica Bellucci With 'Monica' Track From 'Coolie'
Pooja Hegde has created a storm yet again with her fiery moves in the recently released song Monica from the upcoming film Coolie, starring Rajinikanth. More than just a catchy track, Monica is also a tribute to the iconic Italian actress and model Monica Bellucci. Titled after her first name, the song showcases Pooja taking over the screen with her addictive dance steps and spot-on expressions.
For the unversed, Monica Bellucci visited India in 2015 to promote the James Bond film Spectre, where she made headlines as the first leading lady to match 007's age. At 51, she redefined the 'Bond girl' archetype as a true 'Bond woman,' continuing to captivate audiences with her glamour and powerful presence.
STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD
In the European cinema circuit, Monica Bellucci is a celebrated name, known for acclaimed films such as Malèna (2000), Irréversible (2002), The Matrix Reloaded/Revolutions (2003), and The Passion of the Christ (2004). At one point, she was even in talks to portray Sonia Gandhi in a planned biopic on Rajiv Gandhi, though the project did not materialize.
With Monica from Coolie, Pooja Hegde reaffirms her position as the undisputed queen of hook steps and expressions, bringing a refreshing energy to the dance number. As she continues to leave her signature mark with this vibrant track, she is also gearing up for her next Bollywood release, Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai, where she stars alongside Varun Dhawan and Mrunal Thakur. Directed by David Dhawan, the lighthearted rom-com is slated to release soon.

The 7th edition of Shefs at The Leela celebrates women in culinary leadership
The Leela Palace Chennai presents the seventh edition of Shefs at The Leela in collaboration with 'Dean With Us' — the mother-daughter duo of Rupali and Akanksha Dean. The event honours the transformative role of Indian women chefs who are shaping the future of gastronomy. After past editions hosted across Bengaluru, Gurugram, Chennai, and Jaipur, the seventh edition in Chennai will bring together four women chefs — Sambhavi Joshi, Taiyaba Ali, Sehaj Ghuman and Bunuma Patgiri, who will bring their years of expertise into curating a menu that speaks both of their work and India's diverse culinary heritage. 'This platform was created to amplify the voices of women chefs, long underrepresented in professional kitchens and provide them a space to flourish, inspire, and connect,' says Akanksha, co-founder of Dean With Us. The menu is a fusion of global culinary techniques, with richly rooted sensibilities of Indian cuisine. 'We selected Indian women chefs thriving not only in India but internationally as well, each carving their own niche with passion and flair. Each dish narrates a journey of personal and cultural identity, harmonising traditional elements with contemporary creativity,' says Rupali, founder of Dean With Us. Sambhavi Joshi will embody her commitment to rustic Italian cuisine, sustainability, and zero-waste practises, with signature dishes from her restaurant, Casa Pasta Bar, Delhi. 'For me, I think it was it was about trying to put the best of Casa on the menu because that's where I have learnt and kind of built on in the past few years. I am making a pumpkin soup. So, the pumpkin soup has a beautiful story from when I was training with Chef Alex Sanchez. One day he made me make the pumpkin soup almost 10 times — because it was just not right. So, I think for me it holds a place in my heart.' Here, the pumpkin is paired with smoked duck and a delicate parmesan foam. Taiyaba Ali is a chef and writer from Lucknow who celebrates the often-overlooked contributions of women to Awadhi cuisine. Her menus spotlight the region's multicultural influences and seasonal ingredients. 'I am doing a stuffed and seared butternut squash in a nut gravy served with dill pulao. Pulaos are big in Lucknow. We don't always eat biryani. I am using dill leaves to make this home-style pulao, with little bit of spices. There's the technique of dum, which is called dhungar, and there is also slow cooking of the butter nut squash which is being roasted.' Bunuma Patgiri is the Chef de Cuisine at The Leela Palace Chennai. Her expertise lies with Thai, Singaporean, Malay, and Northeast Indian cuisines. She is making larb gai, a dish inspired by Thai Krathong. I belong to the Boro tribe in Northeast India, which has festivals with rituals similar to Thai traditions, including offerings of flowers and food in a boat-shaped structur in water, mirroring Thai krathong.' Sehaj Ghuman is head chef, Academy Of Pastry and Culinary Arts, Gurugram. For the dessert menu, she is doing her version of choco bar. 'It's going to be super chocolatey with caramelised peanut parfait, a soft vanilla caramel, and chocolate chunk dacquoise. It's just a childhood memory basically,' she says. Shefs at The Leela will take place at The Leela Palace Chennai on July 20, priced at ₹5,999 plus taxes. To reserve call +91 7824813894.

Golden Era singer, who rejected Frank Sinatra, was forbidden from marrying the love of her life; he died at 37, none of her 4 marriages lasted
The world of music suffered a great loss on 17 July, as the nightingale of the 50s and 60s, Connie Francis, tragically passed away at the age of 87. An artiste who saw her music resurrected through the power of the internet just months before taking her final exit. She helped shape an entire generation's idea of love and companionship, but in reality, Connie Francis, the woman who left Frank Sinatra waiting at a table, could never find true love for herself, at least not the kind that stayed. However, there was once a time when Connie could picture someone while singing her ballads, for there was a man that she loved but ultimately couldn't be with. Connie grew up in an Italian/Jewish neighbourhood, and right from her childhood, her father pushed her to be a performer. She has talked about her difficult relationship with him in her memoir 'Among My Souvenirs' and admitted that even though he was always supportive of her career, he sometimes did too much in the quest of making her successful. While coming up the ranks, Connie met Bobby Darin, a young chap, who, according to what she told Closer, 'was the smartest man she had ever met.' What bloomed into the greatest love affair of her life started off on shaky ground. ALSO READ: Coldplay's Chris Martin teases couple on kiss-cam after outing Astronomer's CEO, asks 'Are you legitimate?' Connie and Bobby started writing music together, and one day he came to her with a new song. Francis in turn gave some notes and made some changes to the lyrics, which made Bobby furious. Even though he left angry, he would soon return after accepting the changes, and that was the foundation of their relationship. The two penniless lovers were both trying to make it in the cut-throat business, but Darin had a clock constantly ticking over his head. When he was a child, multiple infections and rheumatic fever rendered his heart weak. The doctors told Bobby that he wouldn't live long, and that is why, according to Connie, he wanted to be a star before he was 25. The clock might be the reason why Bobby even proposed marriage early in their relationship, but Connie refused because she wanted them to be successful before leaping into matrimony. Both of them would soon start finding work, as Bobby became a regular in several famous nightclubs and Connie became an overnight sensation with her song 'Who's Sorry Now?' As more fame and success started falling into their laps, the love grew, but it wasn't meant to last. Connie's father had the final say in all the decisions she made regarding her career and her life, and he did not approve of Bobby. Her father would even go on to pull a gun on Bobby and tell him to leave the studio where she was rehearsing. Connie admitted that she was afraid for Bobby and thought that her father's actions could affect his already weak heart. She decided to listen to her father and keep her distance, but the two still kept in touch through letters. However, Connie's father made it impossible for the two to maintain this relationship, and they would soon part ways. Bobby went on to write several chart-breaking songs, win two Grammys and even get an Oscar nomination. His condition caught up with him though, and he ultimately passed away at the age of 37. Connie would go on to reject many suitors, including the famous crooner Frank Sinatra, who she reportedly left alone at a table after he used some foul language in front of her. She got married four times, and her longest was with Joseph Garzilli, which lasted for 5 years. It is quite possible that Bobby would have passed away around the same time, even if he married Connie like he wanted to, but she would definitely have had a much smoother life with the love of her life, considering all the horrors that she faced, including her father's death, her brother's murder, and the ghastly motel incident. Ironically, the woman who inspired the people of her generation to love and introduced her kind of old-school affection to this generation never found love for herself. But she will be remembered dearly, and all her fans, new and old, will hope that she is once again united with the one that got away.
