are two of the boldest and most glamorous women in Bollywood. Both the divas are known for speaking their minds, making fearless choices, and carrying themselves with strong confidence.
They also share a special bond full of love and admiration.
Rekha's touching words for Kangana
Back in 2019, at the Marathi Taraka event, Rekha openly praised Kangana in front of the audience. While receiving a special award from the 'Thalaivii' actress, Rekha said, 'If I had a daughter she would have been like Kangana.'
The 'Manikarnika' actress had even worn a beautiful black and gold sari gifted to her by the 'Umrao Jaan' actress to the same event. Rekha's words showed just how much she adores Kangana.
Kangana's proud reaction
Years later, in 2022, the 'Fashion' actress remembered Rekha's kind words. She shared a post on her Instagram story from a fan page, recalling the moment when the 'Silsila' actress praised her. Reacting to it, Kangana wrote, 'greatest compliment ever.'
Kangana once called Rekha her godmother
Kangana has also shown her love and respect for Rekha many times. Back in October 2021, on Rekha's birthday, the 'Panga' actress shared a sweet photo of them together on her Instagram story.

Woman who grew up with monkeys shares her life experience, 'They talk to each other in a language…'
In a world filled with unimaginable childhood stories, Marina Chapman's account of survival stands apart for one reason– it's real. No fiction, no folklore. Just a girl, left alone in the Colombian rainforest at the age of four, who survived by observing and imitating a group of wild monkeys. Her story, now widely discussed after resurfacing in recent interviews, is not framed by drama or exaggeration. It's a stark and honest recollection of what it meant to grow up completely disconnected from human society– and how instinct, silence, and the company of animals helped her endure. Now in her later years, Marina is speaking more openly about her past, not to shock or entertain, but to share what survival looked like when her only teachers were capuchin monkeys. A childhood cut short by abduction Marina's early life in Colombia took a traumatic turn when she was abducted from her village around the age of four, according to a report by UNILAD. The reasons behind the kidnapping remain unclear, but she was eventually abandoned in dense forest territory– alone, frightened, and unsure of what to do next. With no one to call for help and no knowledge of the jungle, she found herself surrounded by a troop of monkeys. Slowly, they became her silent guides. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Pensioners Can Buy These Electric Cars in Malaysia - See Prices Here! Electric Cars | Search Ads Search Now Undo Observing monkeys became her survival strategy In an interview with UNILAD, Marina explained that as the days passed in isolation, she realised that the only way to survive was by following the creatures around her. With no knowledge of edible plants or safe water sources, she began closely observing the monkeys' behaviour. "I didn't know what to eat except the water. And I noticed the monkeys used to eat things. They kept eating something, and I kept watching where they were getting this food, and it took me days to find out where they were getting the food," she told UNILAD. One monkey, she recalls, played an unexpected role in helping her find food by quietly stealing fruit from sleeping humans nearby. "Except one of them was a very good one. He used to go when some Indian people had fallen asleep, and they used to hear the sound of people falling asleep. And he went into their room, very quiet, and he got a lot of food out of these rooms with huge amounts of fruit. And it used to carry so much that he dropped it. And that was the first time I came out and found a banana or other things." This small moment would teach her how to find scattered food– and how to grab it fast. "And I pick it up quickly, but you better move quickly because if you don't, they take it away quickly. So I learned to eat as fast as I could, always." Adapting to the sounds of the forest Jungle life meant staying alert at all times. With no human interaction, Marina learned to understand the meaning behind different monkey sounds– many of which signalled food, threats, or movement. "I had to learn to recognise the sounds. The screechy one, you have to really be careful, you have to hide away. Many sounds mean something. The 'danger' one is the louder one, and then the whistle one is the 'food' one. And each sound means different things, but it took me a while to get used to it. I just learned from watching what they were doing every time I heard the sound." For Marina, these sounds became the difference between staying safe and getting hurt. There was no safety net, only observation and reaction. Found by hunters, but not freed According to the UNILAD report, at around age ten, after nearly six years in the forest, Marina was discovered by hunters. But rescue didn't mean relief. Instead, she was taken away and reportedly sold into a brothel. Her years of jungle survival were followed by fresh trauma in urban society. Eventually, she managed to escape and survive on the streets of Columbia for a period. Her journey from there continued through more difficulties, eventually leading to a new life. Her full story was first detailed in her book The Girl With No Name, published in 2013. Thumb image: Generated by Canva AI (only for representative purposes)

Watch: Adorable Baby Elephant Gives Squishy Hugs To Humans, Melts Internet
The internet is full of heartwarming videos where baby elephants charm everyone with their innocence and curiosity. Adding to the collection, a delightful new clip is winning hearts online. Shared on X (formerly Twitter) by the @amazingnature account, the video shows an adorable baby elephant interacting with a man and a woman. In the now-viral video clip, the baby elephant can be seen sneaking up behind two people who are sitting in what appears to be a field. As they turn around, the young elephant puts its trunk on them. Afterwards, the elephant puts its front two legs on the shoulder of the man and gives him a squishy hug. Both the man and the woman can be heard laughing as the baby elephant, oblivious of its weight, continues with the warm hug. "Baby elephants think humans are so cute and want to hug us," the video was captioned. As of the last update, the video had garnered over one million views and hundreds of comments, as social media users melted over the cuteness of the baby elephant. "It's so cute how the baby elephant does not have any clue how big it is," said one user, while another added: "Do baby elephants realise how gigantic they are? A third commented: "They are like toddlers in giant bodies. That trunk hug is everything." A fourth said: "Just when I thought today was awful, this video came along and healed my heart." Watch the viral post here: baby elephants think humans are so cute and want to hug us 🤣🤣 — Nature is Amazing ☘️ (@AMAZlNGNATURE) July 26, 2025 Earlier this week, another video showed a baby elephant attempting to hoist itself onto a chair and sit like a human. As the video went viral, the baby jumbo's cuteness in trying and failing to climb up the chair mesmerised the internet. Similarly, another viral post on Instagram showed a tusker enjoying a bath with his caretaker when he spotted an unexpected little visitor - a tiny frog. Despite being relatively large in size, the baby elephant displayed tremendous composure and gently attempted to avoid the croaking frog.
