KL Rahul Missing Daughter, Gets Emotional On Air: 'Was Really Hard To Come Here'

Last Updated: KL Rahul got emotional on camera while speaking about his daughter Evaarah and missing his father duties for the India-England series. Senior India batter KL Rahul got emotional on air while speaking about his newborn daughter, Evaarah, on Friday (July 25) on the sidelines of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy. Evaarah was born on March 24, when Rahul was on leave during IPL 2025, but he rejoined Delhi Capitals only two days later and then came to England in early June, just days after the tournament was concluded. He has enjoyed a good run in the five-Test series, scoring 421 runs, including two centuries, at an average of 60.14. However, off the field, staying in England without his wife, actress Athiya Shetty, and young family hasn't been easy. He said joining the India 'A' squad for a tour game against England Lions before the Test series was a difficult decision to make, too. 'Yeah, it's a great time in my life for my family," Rahul told former teammate Cheteshwar Pujara on the Sony Sports broadcast. 'I've always loved children. I've always wanted children for a long time. So, made me and my family really really happy. We're in a great place. She's a beautiful little girl. It's brought so much happiness into our lives," he added. 'I have done a little bit (father duties), but unfortunately, two days after she was born, I had to go play the IPL game. And I tried in whatever breaks we got during the IPL to go back for a couple of days and then finish the IPL. It was really hard to take that decision to come here and play that India A game as well because I had not spent any time with her and I knew when I came here, I won't see her for another two months," Rahul said. The tour concludes on August 4 after the final Test and as of now, there's nothing scheduled for India in the month. Rahul said that he's always on the 'baby camera' watching his daughter and is glad to have the support of his family in this time. 'There were some really hard decisions that I've had to make in the last few months. But yeah, I thought that that was the right thing to do for me professionally and my family's been really supportive. My wife was very supportive. So, I came here. So, I haven't seen her and I just keep seeing her pictures and I'm always on the baby camera. Making sure I don't miss anything or any part of her growth. So, it's a difficult thing to do when you're traveling and playing and you miss each day," he said. India are traling the five-Test series 2-1 and are in a precarious position in the fourth Test with England leading by 186 runs at the end of the third day at Old Trafford. view comments First Published: July 25, 2025, 23:41 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

This 2-hour 10-minute film beats Vicky Kaushal starrer Chhaava, earns Rs 90 crore in a budget of Rs 7 crore, movie is…, lead actors are…

In a year dominated by big-budget blockbusters, a modestly budgeted film has quietly outshone them all in terms of profitability. While titles like 'Chhaava,' 'Housefull 5,' and 'Sitaare Zameen Par' garnered significant attention, another film, made with a fraction of their budgets, has emerged as the most profitable Indian movie of 2025. Which movie is this? That film is Tourist Family, a Tamil-language comedy-drama directed by debutant Abishan Jeevinth. Produced on a modest budget of Rs 7 crore, the movie has grossed over Rs 90 crore worldwide, achieving an impressive 1200% return on investment. This remarkable feat places it ahead of other major releases, including Chhaava, which, despite its Rs 130 crore budget and Rs 808 crore earnings, achieved an 800% profit margin. What is the storyline of Tourist Family? Tourist Family stars M. Sasikumar and Simran and tells poignant story of Sri Lankan Tamil family migrating to India post-COVID-19 in search of a better life. The narrative delves into their struggles adapting to a new culture, language barriers, and economic hardships. The film's heartfelt storytelling and relatable themes resonated deeply with audiences, leading to its box office success. The film's success is further underscored by its performance relative to other major releases. While Chhaava and Sitaare Zameen Par had significant box office earnings, their high production costs meant lower profit margins compared to Tourist Family. This highlights the film's exceptional achievement in maximizing profitability through compelling storytelling and efficient budgeting. More about Tourist Family The film also features Mithun Jai Sankar and Kamalesh Jagan, Yogi Babu, Ramesh Thilak, M. S. Bhaskar, Elango Kumaravel, Sreeja Ravi, and Bagavathi Perumal, which was backed by Million Dollar Studios and MRP Entertainment in a joint venture and music and background score were given by renowned composer Sean Roldan. Tourist Family had its premiere on April 29, 2025, and hit theaters on May 1. The film garnered favorable reviews, especially highlighting Abishan's direction and Roldan's musical score, along with the performances of the ensemble cast members. Tourist Family is now available for streaming on JioHotstar in India and SimplySouth internationally, allowing a broader audience to experience this heartwarming tale.

Why is Saiyaara Gen Z's Aashiqui 2

Why is Gen Z crying, obsessing, and heartbreak-posting about 'Saiyaara'? Why are videos of people exiting theatres teary-eyed and clutching their chests going viral? Remember the vivid video of a man watching the film while being on an IV drop? The answer might lie in a familiar feeling, one millennial knows all too is Gen Z's Aashiqui 2Because 'Saiyaara' is doing for Gen Z what 'Aashiqui 2' did for millennials over a decade ago. It's letting them feel. Really a world of algorithmic love and blink-and-you-miss-it dating culture, 'Saiyaara' arrives with the emotional intensity of a handwritten letter. Directed by Mohit Suri, who also helmed 'Aashiqui 2', and backed by Yash Raj Films, the Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda-starrer doesn't rewrite the romance playbook. Instead, it replays it with a fresh ache, aimed straight at a new generation's heart. Much like 'Aashiqui 2' in 2013, 'Saiyaara' revels in grand declarations, lingering stares, and lyrics that bleed emotion. But what makes both films work across decades is how earnestly they believe in love. Not as a plot device, but as a life-altering Rahul-Aarohi to Krish-Vaani: The Romantic BlueprintIn Aashiqui 2, Rahul [Aditya Roy Kapoor] and Aarohi [Shraddha Kapoor]'s love story was one of ambition, addiction, and slow destruction. Their love was epic, but tragic. Millennials cried for weeks. The soundtrack lived on in every breakup playlist. Fast forward to 2025, and Saiyaara is striking a similar nerve, with slightly shifted emotional and Vaani bond over loss, loneliness, and love—much like Rahul and Aarohi—but their story doesn't collapse under its own weight. While 'Aashiqui 2' wears its tragedy on its sleeve, 'Saiyaara' gives space for growth. It lets heartbreak exist without glorifying self-destruction. The pain is still there, but so is hope. This is a film that takes its young characters seriously. It doesn't mock their pain or treat their romance as fleeting puppy love. It dives deep into the genesis of romance, messy, hopeful, idealistic, without apologising for the 'Aashiqui 2', reimagined for a generation that cries in the comments but also goes to Feeling Becomes a RebellionWhere Saiyaara stands apart, especially for Gen Z, is in its refusal to treat feelings with irony. This is a film that asks its viewers to surrender to melodrama, to believe in love without Gen Z, for all their memes and nihilism, are showing up for it. Because beneath the cool detachment of reels and dating apps, this is a generation craving sincerity. Saiyaara gives them permission to cry unironically, to feel deeply without needing to explain of Saiyaara's biggest emotional weapons is Ahaan Panday's portrayal of Krish Kapoor. He isn't a saviour, a superstar, or a stoic hero. He's emotional, messy, overwhelmed, a soft boy through and through. Much like Aditya Roy Kapur's Rahul, Krish wears his heart on his sleeve. But instead of spiralling, he chooses emotional responsibility. advertisementFor Gen Z boys rethinking masculinity, Krish might be a quiet not underestimate the music. Remember how 'Tum Hi Ho' became the unofficial heartbreak anthem of 2013, Saiyaara's soundtrack is possibly having the same impact. It's already flooding playlists and stories. Each track is engineered for emotional recall—rainy days, late-night walks, unread messages. And when a generation finds their emotions reflected in lyrics, the connection becomes 'Saiyaara' perfect? No. The script has its bumps. Some arcs could be tighter. But it doesn't matter. Because what this film nails, like Aashiqui 2 before it, is emotional truth. That raw, aching, "I can't believe love hurts this much" in a time when most things feel curated, 'Saiyaara' feels unfiltered. That's why Gen Z is flocking to it, breaking down after watching it, and heartbreak-posting in real doesn't just fill the gap left by 'Aashiqui 2'; it continues its if 'Aashiqui 2' was the last good millennial heartbreak movie, then 'Saiyaara' might just be Gen Z's first.- EndsYou May Also Like
