Randeep Hooda
Talking about his personal style, he said, 'Most of my life, I have roamed around in T-shirt and jeans, but now I believe that it is better to be overdressed than underdressed. Fashion is about adorning the human body with something that accentuates its already existing beauty.' The actor says his fashion sense has evolved since his marriage to Lin Laishram, adding that he has started accessorising now
When asked if there's a particular aspect of traditional Haryanvi attire that he wished gets recognised on the global fashion map, he said, 'The Haryanvi headgear is very exotic.
It gives a feeling of timelessness, which I really like. The comfort and easy fit in regional fashion draws me. We should go back to our heritage and find ways of infusing it into today's fashion rather than aping the west. There's nothing like wearing your heritage on your sleeve, quite literally.
'
Sharing some fashion advice, the Highway actor said, 'Be yourself, and don't give into fads. I also believe that one should choose to have a style statement that is timeless, which doesn't have to change with every trend.'

actor, who recently got back in the saddle after almost two years and also donned the hat of a director, said, "Living and dying in a saddle was a dream, but I have many other saddles that I need to straddle. Riding the horse has taken a backseat due to injuries and work, but it is something I want to pursue all my life. I want to be 80-something and still be riding a horse."

‘Alia Bhatt is self-made, ambitious unlike Ranbir Kapoor who is laidback,' says Mahesh Bhatt: ‘She has changed, matured after welcoming Raha'
The tag of nepotism has always chased Alia Bhatt despite her best efforts to negate that. After making her debut with Karan Johar's 2012 hit campus caper Student of the Year, Alia has proven her acting prowess over the years with critically acclaimed performances in films like Imtiaz Ali's Highway (2014), Abhishek Chaubey's Udta Punjab (2016), Meghna Gulzar's Raazi (2018), and Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Gangubai Kathiawadi (2022). Alia's father, veteran filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt, also believes his daughter is 'self-made.' 'I didn't launch Alia Bhatt. Karan Johar launched her. I didn't know she had so much thirst for acting in her. She gave the audition herself. I just got to know they loved her work. I was shocked because I hadn't seen any such traits in her even remotely. I'm very happy she's a self-made girl,' said Mahesh. On The Himanshu Mehta Show, the filmmaker further revealed that the young generation today approach her for pictures only to flaunt that they met Alia Bhatt's father. 'Alia has astounded me! What is unique about her is that she has a taste for taking risks and she's taken the detours into diverse narratives,' added Mahesh. Alia's father also pointed out that she's gone through 'an alchemical change' after the birth of her daughter Raha Kapoor in 2022. 'I see a new depth in her. With this young girl becoming a mother, there's a coming-of-age of a different kind, a different kind of maturity in her. I'm also looking forward to her new films which would be coming out now,' said Mahesh. Alia will be next seen headlining Shiv Rawail's spy thriller Alpha, which is a part of Aditya Chopra's YRF Spy Universe. Backed by Yash Raj Films, it's slated to release in cinemas this Christmas on December 25. Next year, Alia will also star alongside real-life husband Ranbir Kapoor and Vicky Kaushal in Bhansali's romantic drama Love & War. Mahesh Bhatt also revealed that even Ranbir is in awe of Alia. 'He says, 'Alia is made of different stuff.' When I ask him, 'What do you mean?,' he says, 'Her ambition to do more and more and more is unbelievably astounding!' While he's a person who's very laid-back and comforted, and he just wants to do enough. She's a go-getter,' added Mahesh. Also Read — Alia Bhatt likes people watching to cheer herself up on bad days: 'I'm not looking into their bedrooms, but..' The filmmaker agreed that while there are talented nepo babies like Alia and Ranbir, one can't deny the merit that the discussion around nepotism holds. 'Nature is very fair. It's not important that the rose would bloom in only your garden. Nature spreads its jewels across the world. Nepotism is a reality, but it's also not. Just because my child is talented, that doesn't mean I disqualify them,' argued Mahesh. 'But it's definitely easy for them. Because access is success. Talented people don't even get access for years. It's important to understand that the voice that's been raised against nepotism, there's a collective anger behind that. That's why we get to hear about that every other day,' added Mahesh Bhatt.

The Rain in España couple Heaven Peralejo and Marco Gallo's breakup confirmed months after Instagram unfollow; fans heartbroken
It's official. Fan-favourite Filipino love team Heaven Peralejo and Marco Gallo, who won hearts with their undeniable chemistry in The Rain in España, have broken up. After months of silence and subtle hints, Heaven has finally confirmed the split. The two, who were also romantically involved off-screen, had become a go-to pairing in local rom-coms, with fans rooting hard for their real-life relationship. Heaven confirms breakup from The Rain in España co-star Marco Gallo In a recent interview with journalist MJ Marfori, Heaven opened up about the breakup, saying it was a mutual decision. 'We're not together anymore. It was a mutual decision to move forward individually, so we're okay. We're good friends,' she said. She also expressed her hope that their supporters would continue backing both of them, even if they're now walking separate paths. Despite the breakup, she assured fans that she and Marco will still work together professionally, adding that friendship was always the foundation of their connection. Signs were there: From unfollows to photo wipes While the confirmation only came recently, breakup rumours had been swirling since early June. Fans first noticed that Heaven had quietly unfollowed Marco on Instagram and removed nearly all their photos together. Meanwhile, Marco still follows Heaven and still has pictures of her on his account, which only added to the speculation and confusion. For a couple that once made their relationship public with a sweet birthday post back in November 2024 and had never been shy to express their love, this felt heartbreaking. However, even after the split, they pulled up to an event together this month like it was no big deal, proving there's no bad blood between them. Fans react with heartbreak and support The news has sent shockwaves through their fanbase, with many expressing sadness over the end of a pairing that brought them so much joy. Their on-screen chemistry and real-life connection had made them one of the most beloved tandems in recent years. "I actually loved them so much together," one fan wrote, while another mentioned, "They are one of my favourites, but still we don't know what happened, so we can't judge. Let's just hope for good for both of them." "They were the bestestttttt; they grew up together, but life—idk what happened between them, but it's heartbreaking," a third fan mentioned, and a fourth shared the same sentiments, writing, "It was already rumoured they have broken up, but hearing it directly from her is hard, but it's for real." What made The Rain in España such a hit? Based on the viral Wattpad series by Gwy Saludes, The Rain in España (2023) follows college sweethearts Luna and Kalix, whose love is tested by ambition, misunderstandings, and time. The story resonated with Gen Z audiences thanks to its relatable characters, campus setting, and heartfelt lines that took over social media. The show's massive popularity boosted both Heaven and Marco's careers, turning them into household names and unofficial sweethearts of the new-age Wattpad-to-screen boom. It also helped revive the campus-romance genre in Filipino dramas and gave fans a reason to believe in love stories, both fictional and real.
