What's the secret behind Shruti Haasan's gorgeous hair When host Ranveer Allahbadia asked her how she maintains such healthy hair, Shruti revealed that it all comes down to one simple, age-old ingredient: sesame oil. "This is my natural hair colour," she began. 'And I use oil, only sesame oil. Sesame mixed with coconut or sesame mixed with almond, depending on my mood. But basically, sesame has worked miracles for my hair.' Shruti also shared her routine for oiling her hair and how often she uses it. "Before every wash," she said. "Like, I don't wash my hair every day. You shouldn't wash your hair every day. So if I'm shooting, then the night before, I'll put the oil in, go to sleep, wake up, wash, and go." For Shruti, oiling isn't just a beauty hack; it's a self-care ritual. "This oil is my rescue," she said, smiling. "Oils, I'm telling you, it's all about oil." In a world of expensive serums, heat treatments, and salon rituals, Shruti's simple hair routine is a gentle reminder that sometimes, less really is more, and that our grandmothers were right all along.

HIT 3 script entirely original, accusations are false, says Nani

The actor files counter affidavit denying plagiarism allegations made by a Tamil writer. Actor Nani has filed a counter affidavit in response to a recent petition by Tamil scriptwriter and author Vimalavelan, who alleged that the actor's recent Telugu film HIT: The Third Case was plagiarised from his script (Agent 11) and novel (Agent V). Nani claimed that the accusations are 'false, misleading and unfounded'. Since Vimalavelan's script is written in Tamil, Nani and the other respondents stated that they are not familiar with the language and have requested for its official English translation so that they can give an effective and informed response on the alleged similarities between both scripts. They also claimed that the similarities pointed out by Vimalavelan are standard tropes and recurring motifs in the thriller, crime, and investigative genres. 'These elements are not unique, distinctive, or original to the plaintiff's work, nor are they protectable under copyright law,' stated the affidavit while opposing the writer's request for an interim injunction. Vimalavelan had claimed that he sent the synopsis of his script to Nani's mail ID that was mentioned on his Facebook page in 2022, and that's how the actor accessed his script. Responding to the same, the affidavit countered the claim and stated that the email address is 'not actively monitored for unsolicited creative submissions, nor is it used as an official channel for receiving or reviewing story/scripts'. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Siemens Energy lidera com inovação Siemens Energy Saiba Mais Undo They also denied having reviewed or relied upon any email or material purportedly sent by the plaintiff.

Ajay Devgn Reacts To Son Of Sardaar 2 Clashing with Kajol's Sarzameen: 'We Don't…'

Ajay Devgn returns as Jassi in Son of Sardaar 2, releasing July 25, same day as Kajol's Sarzameen on OTT. He addressed the clash and Sonakshi Sinha's absence. Ajay Devgn returns as Jassi, 13 years after Son of Sardaar was first released in 2012. The film is slated for release on July 25, the same day as his wife Kajol's Sarzameen. The only difference is that while Ajay's film is headed for the theatres, Sarzameen releases on JioHotstar. At the film's trailer launch in Mumbai, Ajay exclusively addressed the clash while speaking to News18 Showsha. He also shared why the makers didn't include Sonakshi Sinha's cameo, even though she was the leading lady in the 2012 film. 'That is on OTT. So there is no clash," Ajay playfully said, while talking about Kajol's Sarzameen releasing on the same day as Son of Sardaar. He further added, 'We do not discuss work a lot at home. Actually, not at all. We are just like a normal family at home and work is something we hardly discuss. You have reminded me that her film is also releasing on 25th. And I am sure she doesn't remember that my film is releasing on the same date. She knows I know but it's not that important. We don't take work home." The actor also spoke about why the makers didn't include Sonakshi Sinha's cameo in the film. He told us, 'The story moves on, and so we needed the cast to move ahead. That was the plan." Ajay Devgn also commented on the ongoing Marathi versus Hindi language debate in Maharashtra. The actor leaned into his Singham roots and declared with a smirk, 'The only answer I can give about the language thing is — 'Aata Maajhi Satakli'," while striking the iconic pose from Singham. Meanwhile, the trailer Son Of Sardaar 2 was released on July 11. It began with a reference to its 2012 prequel. The film, which is now set in Scotland, features Ajay Devgn as Jassi. Shortly into the trailer, Ajay takes a dig at Pakistan, calling them out for dropping bombs in our country. There is also a major Sunny Deol reference from Border. Also featuring Mrunal Thakur, one can also see a little more into her chemistry with Ajay, after their hook step from Pehla Tu Duja Tu went viral. Mukul Dev also appears on screen for the last time, accompanied by Vindu Dara Singh, Ravi Kishan and Kubbra Sait. Directed by Vijay Kumar Arora, the film stars Ajay Devgn, Ravi Kishan, Sanjay Mishra, Mrunal Thakur, Neeru Bajwa, Chunky Panday, Kubbra Sait, Deepak Dobriyal, Vindu Dara Singh, Roshni Walia, Sharat Saxena, Sahil Mehta, and the late Mukul Dev. Presented by Jio Studios and Devgn Films, Son of Sardaar 2 is a production by Devgn Films and SOS 2 Limited, produced by Ajay Devgn and Jyoti Deshpande. N R Pachisia and Pravin Talreja are also producers, with Kumar Mangat Pathak as co-producer. The film is scheduled to release on July 25, 2025.
