So you've heard the buzz, seen social media, and maybe even bought a paddle; welcome to the pickleball party! Whether you're playing for fun or secretly competitive, one thing's for sure: this fast-growing sport calls for more than just game, it calls for style.

8 style tips to choose the right pickleball outfit:
Go for lightweight, breathable fabrics
You'll be moving a lot, so moisture-wicking activewear is your OG. Think airy tank tops, performance tees, and anything that lets you breathe and bend. Skorts are the new shorts
The hybrid of a skirt and shorts? Perfect. Stylish, sporty, and movement-friendly. Plus, built-in shorts mean no mid-match wardrobe malfunctions. Tank tops and racerbacks rule
Sleeveless styles give your arms freedom to serve and smash. Bonus: they double up as brunch tops when layered right. Opt for court shoes with grip
Pickleball needs lateral movement, so running shoes won't cut it. Choose court-specific shoes with non-marking soles and ankle support. Hats and visors = instant athleisure points
Shield your face from the sun and look like a pro while doing it. Pair with a sleek ponytail or messy bun for full sporty spice effect. Pickleball fashion loves pops of colour
Pastels, neons, and retro colour blocks are trending hard. Ditch the all-black gym gear; this sport wants you to stand out. Sunglasses and SPF: don't skip the essentials
Functional AND fabulous. A pair of wrap-around shades gives you the cool factor. And sunscreen? Always. No one likes a sunburnt serve. Layer smart for on and off the court
Throw on a zip-up jacket or oversized hoodie for warmups or post-game hangs. It takes you from sporty to street in one zip.
Pickleball might be casual, but your outfit doesn't have to be. It's the perfect excuse to bring back sporty chic with a bit of attitude. So get your outfit game on point, tie up those laces, and show up to the court serving looks and forehands.

Dhadak 2 box office collection day 1: Siddhant Chaturvedi, Triptii Dimri film fails to beat Yudhra opening

Dhadak 2 box office collection day 1: Shazia Iqbal's Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri-starrer Dhadak 2 released in theatres this Friday.

According to Sacnilk, the film made ₹2.94 crore net in India on its opening day. Dhadak 2 box office collection day 1: Siddhant Chaturvedi and Tripti Dimri star in the film produced by Karan Johar.(PTI) Dhadak 2 box office collection According to the trade website, Dhadak 2 made an estimated ₹2.94 crore net in India on its opening day. This means the film failed to beat Siddhant's previous film, Yudhra's opening, which had made ₹4.5 crore net. Triptii's previous film, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, had collected ₹35.5 crore. Dhadak 2 had registered an occupancy of only 19.78% and it remains to be seen if things pick up this weekend. About Dhadak 2 Dhadak 2 tells the tale of a law student who falls for his classmate, only for her family to harass him due to caste differences. Talking about how the film deals with a sensitive subject, Siddhant told PTI, 'It is a huge responsibility... A lot of the credit goes to our director, who from day one was very sure of what she wanted and how she wanted to tell the story, how the characters should be, she didn't want to over-dramatise anything or oversimplify anything. She just wanted things to be as they are in reality.' Hindustan Times' review of Dhadak 2 reads, 'The biggest problem with Dhadak 2 is that it takes too long to figure out what it wants to be. And when it finally does, it struggles to stay consistent. The first half drags, focusing almost entirely on the love story. The writing (by Shazia Iqbal and Rahul Badwelkar) tries hard to convince us of the chemistry between the leads, but it never feels natural.'

Farah Khan reveals how female co-stars fought over Ajay Devgn: ‘Wig ke sath ek doosre ko maarte the'

Filmmaker and choreographer Farah Khan spilt some juicy throwback gossip about none other than Bollywood actor Ajay Devgn. Reminiscing about the early days of his career in her latest vlog, Farah revealed that female co-stars on set would literally fight over him. Farah Khan shared amusing anecdotes about Ajay Devgn's early career, revealing how actresses would fight for his attention on set. Farah says Ajay was a 'lady killer' 'I have worked with so many heroines who were fighting for Ajay on the film sets. Itne jhagde ho rahe they. Litreally, wig ke sath ek doosre ko maar rahe they. Ajay was a lady killer. (There were so many fights happening. They were hitting each other with wigs! Ajay was a total lady killer back then,' Farah said with a laugh. The ever-reserved Ajay, known for his calm and composed demeanour, couldn't help but blush. Farah teased him further, saying, 'You were always the silent kind, tera modus operandi hi wahi raha hai na? (You were always the silent type, right? That's your whole modus operandi!)' A visibly flustered Ajay replied with a shy smile, 'That's just how I am... you're embarrassing me now!' About Ajay's latest Son of Sardaar 2 Son of Sardaar 2 marks the Bollywood debut of director Vijay Kumar Arora, known for his acclaimed Punjabi films like Harjeeta and Kali Jotta. The sequel brings Ajay Devgn back as Jassi, alongside Mrunal Thakur as the female lead. According to Hindustan Times, "SOS 2 has a firm grip on its genre from the start, which works in its favour. Unlike typical sequels that lean heavily on callbacks and jokes from the original, this one stands on its own. The screenplay is straightforward and mostly stays on track. Though the first half starts slow, the humour picks up as more characters join in." The film features a large ensemble cast, including Ravi Kishan, Sanjay Mishra, Neeru Bajwa, Deepak Dobriyal, Kubbra Sait, Chunky Panday, Vindu Dara Singh, Sharat Saxena, and Roshni Walia. It also features Mukul Dev, in a posthumous appearance, along with Ashwini Kalsekar and Sahil Mehta in key roles

The actor added that in the current era, every kid knows how to learn and come prepared as an actor, be it about "their acting, body, and everything else." Citing the example of a school, he said that one cannot join the high school and college without completing the basics.
