Despite reportedly owning a private jet worth around Rs 8 crore, Rajinikanth opted for a regular economy ticket—once again cementing his reputation for remaining grounded even amidst superstardom. The actor was reportedly flying back to Chennai after completing a schedule for his much-anticipated action entertainer, Jailer 2.
Before catching his flight, Rajinikanth also made a spiritual visit to Kerala's historic 400-year-old Matheswaran Shiva Temple. Donning traditional attire, he was seen stepping out of his car and being welcomed warmly by temple authorities before proceeding inside to seek blessings—a testament to his deep-rooted spiritual side.

Corporate Dance Routine For Foreign Visitor Triggers Online Debate
A viral video showed a group of Indian employees dancing to Telugu and Bollywood tracks, including "Killi Killi" and "Main Tera Boyfriend", to welcome a foreign client in an office. The client watches with a smile and eventually joins, but the internet has called it "cringe" and "pathetic".

This is so pathetic to see Indian girls dancing in office an d welcoming a foreign client and the becahra client also forced to dance. Such showcasing will only make other countries feel Indian offices are causal and not worthy of serious work," a user wrote in the caption along with the video post on X (formerly Twitter). The video has sparked a heated debate online, with some people praising the employees' enthusiasm and cultural expression, while others criticise it as unprofessional and embarrassing. Some users defend the video, saying it's a lighthearted way to build camaraderie and showcase Indian hospitality. They argue that such celebrations are common in workplaces and can help with team bonding. Others have slammed the dancing, calling it "pathetic" and "embarrassing". They argue that it reflects poorly on Indian offices. Some users also highlight broader concerns about power dynamics and colonial hangovers in Indian workplaces. "Nothing screams we're not serious louder than making a foreign client do bhangra at a Q4 review," a user wrote. "We've got world-class engineers writing billion-dollar code and HR's out here rehearsing flash mobs for client visits." "This person will go back and announce Layoffs understanding how many extra people he hired," another wrote. Meanwhile, a third user said, "This is done in most workplaces to break the fatigue of sitting behind a desk and doing a mental reset. It helps with the physical as well as mental wellbeing of these workers."

Recently, Shilpa Shirodkar spoke openly about this decision of hers and also talked about her and her husband's education. Shilpa Shirodkar studied till the 10th class In a conversation with Pinkvilla, Shilpa Shirodkar said that after marriage, she settled in New Zealand with her husband Aparesh. She said- 'After marriage, I settled in New Zealand with Aparesh, and I took this decision on my own. My husband is a banker and has a double MBA. On the other hand, I… I failed in 10th grade. After marriage, I sometimes felt embarrassed about the educational difference between the two. However, from one perspective, whenever I have to ask or understand something, I easily get advice.' How qualified is Shilpa's husband? Shilpa further says- 'My husband is a very simple and good person in real life. It was very important for me to start a new life with him. I have no regrets about the fact that I left Mumbai at one time. If I had gotten married in India, I would have probably continued my work, but I have no regrets about my decision.'

I did not want to leave Mumbai because I was very close to my parents. But then I met Aparesh and in just one and a half days I said yes, even though I knew that he would not stay in India but would go abroad for studies. I liked his honesty so much that without thinking much I said yes and then everything started happening on its own.'
