There was a kind of ease on this set that's hard to describe - no pressure, no overthinking, just people genuinely enjoying themselves. I felt like I was returning to a family that missed me. I joined mid-season, had zero prep, and suddenly I was in this high-pressure kitchen with Elvish, who operates on pure instinct and jugaad, and somehow, it just clicked. What's precious to me is that this journey with all its fun, flaws, and flavour sends a simple but powerful message: that everyone can cook, and everyone should. Because food isn't about perfection, it's about connection.' Elvish Yadav on wrapping up the season with a win shared, 'When I entered Laughter Chefs, I thought it would be a fun break - a few laughs, some kitchen disasters, and then back to regular life. But this show had other plans. From the very first week, it pulled me into its vibe. And when Karan and I teamed up, it was an instant vibe match. We never overplanned, we just showed up, had fun, and stayed real. Kitchen was a new territory for me, but this journey taught me so much. I now have a very different appreciation and respect for those who cook regularly. What stands out for me is that my mom got to witness all of it: the mistakes, the growth, the final win.'

Happy Gilmore 2: Does Julie Bowen's character die? What happens to Virginia Venit
'Happy Gilmore 2' returns after almost 30 years of the original, but Adam Sandler's sports comedy remains one for the ages. There's a lot that makes the original iconic – and one of the factors is Julie Bowen in a lingerie carrying two pitchers of beer! Julie Bowen plays Virginia Venit, Happy Gilmore's wife.(X/@popcoxology, sjoseph_sports) Bowen, appeared as Virginia Venit, Happy Gilmore's love interest in the first movie. She was otherwise a buttoned-up professional, so seeing her that way in the 'Happy Place' served as a fun departure. Speaking about the lingerie scene in the original, Bowen – now known for Modern Family – told Cinemablend, 'When I read it in the first script it's what made me love the first script. You don't know how great those performances are going to be. You don't know they're actually gonna get Carl Weathers or anything. You're just reading it going 'I think it's funny but I'm not sure.' And I get to that scene and I laughed out loud 30 years ago at two pitchers of beer. And I thought 'I want this'.' The iconic lingerie scene makes a comeback in the sequel as well, but there's a twist. Read on to know more, but be careful of spoilers ahead! Does Julie Bowen's character die on Happy Gilmore 2? Yes, Julie Bowen's character dies early in 'Happy Gilmore 2'. She is hit by a golf ball on Mother's Day, from a shot hit by Happy, and dies. This serves as the launching point of the story, as Happy vows never to golf again. Also, when Virginia Venit – mother to his five children – passes away, Happy works at a Stop & Shop and drowns himself in alcohol. However, he faces financial constraints when his daughter wants to go to a fancy dance school. To overcome these, Happy must return to golfing. Despite being killed off in the first couple of minutes, this is not the end of the road for Bowen. As 'Happy Gilmore' has shown before, the movie's universe is not tied to one metaphysical plane, and accordingly, in the sequel, Julie Bowen's character visits Happy in his dreams, alongside the younger version of herself from the original, donning the lingerie and carrying beer. She encourages Happy to be a golfer once more. Speaking more of her original appearance in the lingerie, Bowen told Cinemablend 'I've always seen that as hilarious and funny and a sendup of sex pinups. I never felt objectified by that at all. So when it's coming back I was like 'I don't know if I can still put it on.' That's the only thing I was afraid of,' adding, 'I always felt completely respected and in control of all of it.'

‘Didn't see my brother for weeks': Soha Ali Khan recalls how Saif once rejected mother Sharmila's affection; expert on nurturing parent-child bond
Striking a balance between work and parenting is a constant struggle for many mothers, and that challenge is no less real for women in the entertainment industry. Actor Soha Ali Khan recently spoke about her mother Sharmila Tagore's efforts to juggle a full-time acting career while raising children, and how it sometimes left an emotional impact on her elder brother, Saif Ali Khan. 'Sometimes, my mother didn't see my brother for weeks. And then, she would rush home to do bedtime with him, and he would be like, 'I don't need you. I don't want you right now' because he was also upset. So he is fine with the didi and then you are like, 'What did I rush home for?' And then you are so stressed about that time that you end up being short with your children, so it's a lot,' Soha told The Hollywood Reporter India. Reflecting on those early years, at the Mother's Day event for YFLO, Sharmila herself had once said, 'I was working two shifts a day and for the first six years of his life, I was really absent. I don't think I was a full-time mom. My husband was there, but I wasn't.' Soha, as a mother herself, spoke about how being away from her daughter, Inaya, affects her. 'Wherever I am in the world, when it's 7 o'clock, I start to get very antsy. That's my ritual with her, bedtime. So even when I was on set, I burst into tears once because we were in Rajasthan and we were shooting in Mandava and it was bedtime and I had not seen her all day, but that was one day,' she said. Counselling psychologist Athul Raj tells 'In early childhood, a child's sense of safety comes from presence, not perfection or big gestures, but the quiet comfort of knowing someone is there. When a parent is absent for a long time, even with good reason, the child doesn't understand; they just feel the void.' He adds that children protest through withdrawal when they've been longing too long. They push away not because they don't care, but because caring has started to hurt. Children seek emotional reliability. When it's missing, they may internalise the absence, making closeness feel unsafe. Still, all is not lost. 'What matters is what happens when the parent returns. If that moment is met with softness and a willingness to acknowledge the child's hurt, it becomes an opportunity for repair. You don't have to explain away your absence — just show you see its impact,' he states. The guilt working parents carry is often quiet but heavy. This doesn't mean you've failed. It means you care deeply. 'The trouble begins when guilt turns into shame. When parents start believing that, they either burn themselves out trying to make up for it or emotionally check out to avoid feeling the ache. Both create more distance, not less,' stresses Raj. He adds that what helps is naming the feeling instead of fighting it. Repair matters more than presence alone. And remember, how you relate to yourself teaches your child how to relate to themselves. If you meet your imperfections with harshness, they may grow up believing love is conditional. But if they see you making room for both ambition and tenderness, they learn love can stretch and hold both.
