Exclusive: Giorgia Andriani Is Happily SINGLE, Reveals Her 2 AM Friend In Bollywood & Believes Gender Should Not Decide Your Pay
Q. How has your experience of working in India been so far?
A. India has honestly felt like a second home to me. The warmth of the people, the incredible culture, and the energy of the industry, it's all so infectious. I've had the chance to work on diverse projects and collaborate with very passionate, talented people. It's been a journey of growth, discovery, and endless learning, and I'm truly grateful for every moment.
Q, Who are your 2 am friends in Bollywood?
A. I'm honestly a bit of an old soul, so I rarely stay up till 2 am! (laughs) But I do have a few very close friends from the industry with whom I can talk about anything, at any hour. Shehnaaz Gill has been like family to me here. It's so important to have your tribe in this fast-paced world.
Q. There is a huge pay gap between male and female stars. What do you have to say on that?
A. It's an important conversation and one we need to keep having until things change. I believe talent, dedication, and the ability to pull audiences, should decide the final compensation and not the gender. The industry is evolving slowly, and I see more women speaking up and taking charge, which is very encouraging. But yes, there's still a long way to go.
Q. Are you dating anyone or single right now?
A. I'm happily single and focusing on myself and my work. I believe this is such a beautiful time to grow, travel, explore new opportunities, and nurture my passions. Love will come when it's meant to, but right now I'm in a relationship with life.
Q. Tell us about your upcoming projects
A. I'm quite excited about what's coming up! A couple of music videos and a film project are in the pipeline. I can't reveal too much yet, but you'll definitely be seeing more of me very soon!
Q. Your last relationship was much-hyped, what did you learn from it?
A. Every relationship teaches you something about yourself. I think what I've learnt is the importance of personal peace, independence, and surrounding yourself with people who truly value you for who you are. Life is about evolving, and I'm grateful for every experience that shapes me.
Q. What do you have to say on objectification of women in movies, especially special dance numbers?
A. It depends on the intent and the execution. There's a fine line between celebrating femininity and objectifying women. I love dance numbers that are empowering and showcase a woman's confidence and strength. As an artist, it's important for me to be part of work that respects women while still being entertaining. Cinema should uplift, not reduce anyone to a stereotype.

Amid this, a video is now going viral on social media, giving fans a glimpse of Taehyung grooving and popping sparkles at his welcome party, decked out head-to-toe in the brand's couture and dancing freely with staff and party guests.

One fan even got so close that the crowd went crazy for a moment, and a few were seen falling. A fan later posted the video on Weverse (the fan interaction platform), to which the K-pop idol himself replied, 'ARMY, you know that, right? It's dangerous~ Let's be safe next time~' Also read: BTS crushes charts with record brand value a day after comeback announcement; outscores SEVENTEEN, BLACKPINK in July rankings Taehyung is currently one of the richest K-pop idols, with his brand value soaring to a whole new level.

RM emphasised that while the members will continue with their solo activities, they'll be mainly focused on the group's big comeback after three years. He also mentioned that fans might see fewer individual updates than before, but they'll do their best to keep everyone posted.

Chile detains teen aviator from US after landing in Antarctica
A 19-year-old American content creator who was trying to fly solo to all seven continents was detained by Chilean authorities this week after they said he had landed his plane on an island off Antarctica without authorisation. The teenager, Ethan Guo, said in an interview Thursday that he was being housed at a Chilean base on King George Island, roughly 75 miles off the coast of Antarctica, as the case against him proceeds. Chilean officials said Thursday that although Guo had initially been detained, he was now free to leave the island as long as he remained in Chile until his case is resolved. Guo had been documenting his journey around the world on TikTok, where he has more than 329,000 followers, and Instagram, where he has about 1.3 million followers. Guo, who obtained his pilot's license at 17, was aiming to become the first person to fly solo in a small aircraft to all seven continents, according to his website, and was hoping to raise $1 million for cancer research. Antarctica was the only continent where he had yet to land, he said.
