Only time he sat still for a painting: How Mahatma Gandhi's only oil portrait fetched Rs 1.6 crore
A rare oil portrait of Mahatma Gandhi, believed to be the only one he ever sat for, has fetched 1.63 crore (approx £1,52,800 or $204,648) at a Bonhams auction in London, more than double its pre-sale estimate. The painting, by renowned British artist Clare Leighton, was created in 1931, during Gandhi's visit to London for the Second Round Table Conference, which sought to discuss India's constitutional future under British rule. Bonhams had originally valued the artwork between 53 lakh and 74 lakh (between £50,000 and £70,000), but it ended up as the top lot in the auction house's Travel and Exploration sale. 'Thought to be the only oil painting of Mahatma Gandhi, which he sat for, this was a very special work,' said Rhyanon Demery, Bonhams' Head of Sale. 'It is no wonder that this work sparked such interest across the globe.' Clare Leighton, best known for her wood engravings, was reportedly one of the few artists granted permission to paint Gandhi from life. Bonhams says she was introduced to Gandhi through her then-partner Henry Noel Brailsford, a left-wing journalist and vocal supporter of Indian independence. Leighton spent several mornings sketching Gandhi at his London quarters, capturing him in his iconic seated pose — wrapped in his shawl, bare-headed, one finger raised mid-conversation. The resulting portrait was exhibited in November 1931 at the Albany Galleries in London. While Gandhi did not attend, the show drew dignitaries, Members of Parliament, and key figures from the Indian delegation, including Sarojini Naidu and Sir Purshotamdas Thakurdas. Writer Winifred Holtby, who attended the exhibition, described the portrait in vivid terms: 'The little man squats bare-headed, in his blanket, one finger raised… his lips parted for a word that is almost a smile. That is very much as I saw him when he came as guest to a big luncheon in Westminster.' In a letter written shortly after the exhibit, Gandhi's secretary Mahadev Desai wrote to Leighton: 'It was such a pleasure to have had you here for many mornings doing Mr Gandhi's portrait… many of my friends who saw it in the Albany Gallery said it was a good likeness.' The painting remained with Leighton until her death in the US in 1989, after which it was passed down through her family. According to them, the portrait was attacked with a knife in 1974 while on public display and was later restored by the Lyman Allyn Museum Conservation Laboratory. The portrait was not publicly exhibited again until a Boston Public Library showcase of Leighton's work in 1978. Bonhams has not disclosed the identity of the buyer or whether the painting will be made accessible to the public in the future. (With inputs from PTI)

Meet actor who made a comeback at 65, gave back-to-back blockbusters, is more popular in Pakistan than India, his name is...
They've broken bones on screen, stirred patriotism in cinemas, and made us chant 'Dhai kilo ka haath'. But once upon a time, they were just two adorable kids in a blurry photo — one of them pouty in a knicker. Who are these two in the viral throwback? At first glance, the grainy black-and-white photo may seem like just another childhood memory. But look again — sitting in the lap of an elder is little Bobby Deol, face scrunched up and wearing nothing but a knicker. Next to him, resting a hand on the shoulder, is his older brother Sunny Deol. Two of Bollywood's most iconic Punjabi heroes were captured before their stardom. What's with the Pakistan connection? The elder boy in the photo, Sunny Deol, later became the face of raw, chest-thumping patriotism in Bollywood. He starred in Gadar: Ek Prem Katha, where his character famously hoisted the Indian flag in Pakistan. The film, ironically, gained cult status across the border, too. Where are they now? Sunny Deol recently made a power-packed comeback with Gadar 2, and while the box office performance of his last release, Jaat, was modest, his action-hero image remains intact. Up next, he's ready to star in Border 2 alongside Varun Dhawan and Diljit Dosanjh, a film fans are eagerly awaiting. Why is this photo special? It reminds us that even the fiercest screen warriors once had their vulnerable, innocent moments, captured not in cinemascope but in monochrome. From Bobby's teary eyes to Sunny's steady presence, this photo is a nostalgic capsule of two stars before they rose.

Is Andrew Scott's role in Too Much based on Anora director Sean Baker? Fans points to Letterboxd rants, sex worker film parallels
Lena Dunham's new Netflix series Too Much, which premiered on July 11, is exactly the rom-com we needed this summer. Starring Megan Stalter and Will Sharpe, the show dives into loneliness, connection, and all the awkwardness in between. While Dunham has said the story is only 'five percent' based on her real life, fans aren't so sure, especially after noticing one character in particular. Andrew Scott plays Felix, a brooding indie director known for making films about sex workers and marginalised communities and for leaving the occasional dramatic review on Letterboxd. It didn't take long for viewers on Reddit to draw comparisons to Anora filmmaker Sean Baker, and the internet's been piecing it together ever since. What is Too Much about? Too Much follows Jessica (Megan Stalter), a recently heartbroken New Yorker who impulsively moves to London in search of something different. That 'something' turns out to be Felix (Andrew Scott), a politically intense, emotionally elusive director who challenges and complicates her fresh start. The show is Dunham's first since Girls and blends personal messiness with sharp, often uncomfortable cultural observations. The Reddit post that started the theory In a post on the pop culture subreddit Fauxmoi, one user pointed out that Felix's character bears a strong resemblance to Sean Baker's public and creative persona. 'Baker has made 5 movies about women who engage in sex work (and is reportedly making a sixth),' they wrote. 'Every leading woman in his films plays a character who is a sex worker or engages in sex work.' They also noted that nearly all of his eight films focus on people living in poverty. Adding to the comparison was Baker's infamous one-star review of his own film The Florida Project on Letterboxd, an unusual move sparked by criticism over its final scene being shot on an iPhone, not film, as the rest of the movie had been marketed. 'We've all met guys like this' Too Much began filming months before Anora premiered, so the character may not exactly be based on Baker, but many viewers believe the connection holds up, or at least that Scott's character taps into a recognisable type. One user wrote, 'I think it's more taking aim at the type of man Sean Baker is—those 'film bros' are a dime a dozen, perpetually stuck in the mental space of their first philosophy and film theory classes.' Another added, 'It may not be Baker directly, but if you've been in entertainment long enough, you know a guy like this.' More about Too Much The series is loosely inspired by Lena Dunham's own life, especially her move to London following her breakup with musician Jack Antonoff. While she's described the series as emotionally honest but largely fictional, some viewers think there may be more real-life parallels than she's letting on. One popular theory is that Emily Ratajkowski's character, Wendy Jones, draws inspiration from Lorde, who Jack was rumoured to have been romantically linked to around the time of his split with Dunham. Of course, that's all speculation. As for Felix, whether he's a direct nod to Sean Baker or just a familiar type in the world of indie filmmaking, Too Much has already become a Netflix sensation.
