If you've ever wondered what it's like to leap off a bridge with Shah Rukh Khan (yes, really), or how it feels to be a redheaded rebel shaking up both Bollywood and the indie music scene—this is the deep, heartfelt, and hilarious conversation you don't want to miss. bollywood news | entertainment news live | latest bollywood news | bollywood | news18 | n18oc_moviesLiked the video?

Last Updated: Designed by Gaurang Shah, the khadi jamdani lehenga features motifs inspired by the gardens of Taj Mahal. Fresh off the massive success of Sitaare Zameen Par, Genelia's love for Indian craftsmanship continues with an exquisite ensemble designed by celebrated textile designer Gaurang Shah. Known for her love for honouring Indian crafts through her fashion choices, Genelia looked like a modern-day princess in a traditional jamdani lehenga set. Ahead of the release of her latest Telugu film, Junior, Genelia Deshmukh exuded royalty and grace in a Gaurang Shah khadi jamdani lehenga set at the film's promotional event in Hyderabad. Genelia was joined by filmmaker S.S. Rajamouli, Sreeleela and Kireeti Reddy among others. The hand charkha khadi jamdani was woven in Srikakulam district of Andhra Pradesh and took 18 months to weave. Genelia Deshmukh not only looked surreal in the ensemble but also celebrated the statement piece by posting a series of images of the stylish look on Instagram. The timeless ensemble was from Gaurang Shah's collection Rang Raas, which is a tribute to handmade artistry. The traditional weave, Jamdani which is derived from the Persian words jam (flower) and dani (vase) mirrors the motifs designed on the handwoven muslin fabric. The floral blooms on Genelia's lehenga set are inspired by the Mughal gardens of the iconic Taj Mahal. The woven off-white fabric played the perfect canvas for the multi-coloured woven floral motifs adding a pop of colour to Genelia's traditional style. Styled by celebrity stylists Pranay Jaitly and Shounak Amonkar of Who Wore What When, Genelia's traditional look was further enhanced with handcrafted jewellery pieces from Kishandas & Co. Every heritage statement piece featuring chandbalis, a choker set, kadas and hair accessories added traditional opulence to Genelia's look. Genelia's kohl-laden eyes and braided hair styled with vibrant orange flowers set the tone for the traditional Indian wedding look for brides to be. Genelia's makeup was done by celebrity makeup artist Audrey Sangma and her hair was styled by celebrity hair stylist Jyoti Sawant. Directed by Radhakrishna Reddy, Junior is slated for release on July 18. Beyond Junior, Genelia Deshmukh has an exciting slate of projects lined-up. Her upcoming ventures include a horror-comedy directed by Ram Gopal Verma, titled Police Station Mein Bhoot.

Sidharth Malhotra, Kiara Advani requests paparazzi to respect privacy after daughter's birth: ‘No photos please'

After announcing the birth of their daughter, Sidharth Malhotra has taken to Instagram to request the paparazzi to respect their privacy and avoid clicking pictures of their newborn. He also thanked fans and the media for their best wishes and for being understanding during this special time. Sidharth shared a note on his Instagram story that read, 'We're so grateful for all the love and wishes; our hearts are truly full. As we take our first steps into this new journey of parenthood, we hope to enjoy it intimately as a family. It would mean a lot to us if this special time could stay private. So, No Photos Please, Only Blessings! Thank you for your support.' Kiara Advani and Sidharth Malhotra also distributed sweets to the paparazzi along with personal notes requesting them not to click pictures. Their note read, 'Our baby girl is here! Just a little something sweet to celebrate this special moment. No pictures please, only blessings.' In April, Sidharth had lost his cool at the paparazzi for hounding his pregnant wife Kiara Advani. A video that went viral showed paparazzi crowding around the couple's car when they were visiting a doctor and attempting to click their photos. Reacting to their behaviour, Sidharth got visibly angry and said, 'You guys start behaving now. One second, get back, get back! Behave yourself, yaar. You want me to get angry now? One second, boss! Behave yourself.' Kiara Advani and Sidharth Malhotra now join a list of celebrities who have taken steps to ensure their children are not photographed by the media. These include couples like Anushka Sharma-Virat Kohli, Deepika Padukone-Ranveer Singh, and Rani Mukerji-Aditya Chopra. Kiara and Sidharth tied the knot in an intimate ceremony held in Jaisalmer, Rajasthan, on February 7, 2023.

Kusha Kapila Sparks Dating Rumours; Richa Chadha Slams Trolls Over 'Natural Birth' Comment

From Kusha Kapila's dating rumours to Richa Chadha giving a befitting reply to trolls; here are the top headlines of the day. Kusha Kapila has left everyone wondering if she has found the love of her life again. The actress, who was previously married to Zorawar Ahluwalia, took to her Instagram handle on Thursday and shared a series of romantic photos with a mystery guy. In the pictures, Kusha was seen posing in a brown body-hugging outfit as she posed for the camera with a man. She was seen holding his arm, looking lost in his eyes, and even hugging him. Therefore, soon after the pictures were shared, netizens rushed to the comments section of Kusha Kapila's post and wondered if she is dating the mystery guy. Richa Chadha was recently targeted by trolls after she described her delivery as a 'natural birth." A section of netizens questioned her phrasing—arguing that every kind of childbirth is 'natural." One Instagram user commented, 'Every birth is natural, thanks to Science nowadays they're being assisted to help the Mom and the kid." Richa hit back with a sharp reply, 'If I said normal delivery, you'd have said the same thing." Vijay Deverakonda has reportedly been hospitalised. If a recent post by an Instagram handle named 'Entertainment AF' is to be believed, the Telugu actor has been admitted to a hospital due to dengue. Sources cited by the portal claim that Vijay is likely to be discharged by the 20th of this month. While more details are awaited, it should be noted that neither Vijay Deverakonda nor his team has issued any statement confirming or denying his hospitalisation report as of now. Kiara Advani and Sidharth Malhotra have urged everyone to respect their privacy after their daughter's birth. On Friday, the couple issued a joint statement and requested everyone not to click pictures of their newborn in the coming months. 'We are so grateful for all the love and wishes; our hearts are truly full," the statement read and then added, 'As we take our first steps into this new journey of parenthood, we hope to enjoy it intimately as a family. It would mean a lot to us if this special time could stay private." Recently, a report by The Citizen from Tanzania claimed that SSMB29 revolves around a 'rugged explorer" who is fighting an enemy to protect the world. 'Inspired by Indiana Jones and African adventure classics, the film follows a rugged explorer who sets out on a high-stakes mission through uncharted terrain, battling nature, mystery, and a powerful enemy to uncover a long-lost secret that could change the world. Think ancient legends, wild landscapes, and edge-of-your-seat thrills," the synopsis of the movie, as quoted by the Tanzanian media portal, said.
