On May 14, Das took to his Instagram account to share a humorous post poking fun at the festival's recently announced restriction on 'naked dresses'. The policy, which aims to limit revealing attire and garments with long trains that obstruct movement, has sparked a flurry of reactions online.
He took a dig at the organisers for the unusual rule released prior to the festival and stated that he had decided not to attend the Cannes Film Festival.
'It is with deep regret that I announce I will no longer be attending the Cannes Film Festival because of the new red carpet rules. For multiple generations, nude voluminous gowns with large trains have been culturally specific to the comedy community.

This year I had planned a dark beige, 78-foot-long, off-shoulder piece that moved finely into sleeves that covered my wrists, but dipped lower and gently showcased the heart of my scrotum. But if I cannot wear a Gota original, I refuse to let our culture be shunted. I was planning on taking multiple selfies of cultural significance. But someone has to take a stand. I wish the festival all the best,' he wrote.

Cannes policy
The official policy of Cannes stated: 'Voluminous outfits, in particular those with a large train, that hinder the proper flow of traffic of guests and complicate seating in the theatre are not permitted.'
This isn't the first time Cannes' fashion rules have caused confusion or controversy. In previous years, women attendees were reportedly required to wear high heels — a regulation that drew criticism, especially after stars like Julia Roberts and Kristen Stewart publicly defied it.

‘I am free from today': Assam man celebrates divorce by bathing in 40 litres of milk, video goes viral
'I am free from today,' said Manik Ali as he bizarrely celebrated his divorce, now a viral moment on the Internet. Ali bathed in 40 litres of milk and announced that he was free from his wife, who allegedly eloped with her lover twice. According to a report in Northeast Live, Ali tried to reconcile his marriage for their daughter; however, his wife allegedly continued to have an extramarital affair and also abandoned her family several times. Distressed by his wife's actions, Ali decided to file for a divorce and was subsequently separated. In the viral video, shared by the Instagram handle @ Ali can be seen wearing a white vest and blue jeans and pouring reportedly 40 litres of milk on his body. 'I am free,' elated Ali says, looking into the camera. The incident occurred in Baraliyapar village under the Mukalmua police station in Assam's Nalbari. Watch the viral video here: A post shared by ज़िन्दगी गुलज़ार है ! (@ The video quickly gained traction, amassing over three million views. Several social media users shared their reaction, with one saying, 'Good decision.' Another user slammed Ali for wasting milk. 'This says all about the mindset of ppl where they think only n only about yourselves, if you are getting peace by doing all this then take it brother, but by doing all this you are showing so much that you are how immature you were n you are, god bless this guy,' a third user reacted. A similar incident came to light last year, where a man from Haryana hosted an extravagant party after getting divorced from his wife. The event included a picture from his wedding, along with the dates of the marriage and divorce. The man also cut several cakes with his family.

Why did Madhuri Dixit carry a cookbook with her to the US? 'Used to wake up at 5:30 am to ...'
Synopsis Madhuri Dixit, famed for her acting and dancing, humorously recalled her early culinary mishaps after marrying Dr. Shriram Nene. In an old interview, she shared stories of disastrous attempts to cook for her husband, including an unforgettable incident with rubbery prawns. Agencies Madhuri Dixit's Life-Altering Move: From Stardom to Personal Fulfillment While she never failed to hit the bull's eye when it came to mesmerising the audience with her impeccable dancing and acting skills, 'Dhak Dhak Girl' Madhuri Dixit was at her wits' end when she tried to cook. In an old interview with Simi Garewal, the 'Hum Aapke Hai Kaun' star admitted that although she was determined to be a competent chef for her husband, Dr. Shriram Nene, after she shifted to the US post-marriage, she still whipped up some culinary disasters. She revealed how she had carried a cookbook with her to America to prevent such mishaps, but they still occurred. She revealed she was not aware that the prawns sold in the US were 'pre-made,' so she overcooked them. 'It's an Indian book that I carried with me, and I made some masala prawns for him,' she said and added, 'I kept cooking them. They were so chewy, like rubber, and he ate them. He couldn't swallow them.'She also shared a sneak peek at her domestic life with the cardiothoracic surgeon. She revealed she used to get up at 5:30 am in the morning to prepare breakfast for him. After he left, she took a nap. On October 17, 1999, Madhuri Dixit exchanged vows with Dr. Shriram Nene, a heart and lung specialist residing in Los Angeles. Their wedding was a quiet, intimate affair away from the media glare, followed by a celebratory reception held in Mumbai. At the peak of her stardom in Hindi cinema, Madhuri made the unexpected decision to put her thriving film career on pause and relocate to Colorado, choosing to embrace a new journey focused on marriage and the time they first met, Dr. Nene had little to no knowledge of Madhuri's iconic status in the Indian film industry. He wasn't acquainted with her work or the fame she carried, and he has often expressed that he always saw her as his spouse and life partner rather than a public figure. For him, her celebrity status held no weight—what mattered most was the bond they in terms of her professional engagements, Madhuri Dixit most recently appeared on screen in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, a horror-comedy film, where she starred alongside actors Kartik Aaryan and Vidya Balan.

Sitaare Zameen Par Box Office Day 8: Aamir Khan's Film Eyes Rs 100 Crore Club
Last Updated: Aamir Khan's "Sitaare Zameen Par" nears Rs 100 crore at the box office in its second week, earning Rs 94.95 crore. The sports comedy drama stars Khan as a former basketball coach. Aamir Khan's Sitaare Zameen Par continues its strong run at the box office as it enters its second week. As it enters Day 8, the emotional drama is now inching close to the Rs 100 crore mark. Released exclusively in theatres with no OTT tie-up, the film has steadily drawn audiences throughout its first week. According to the latest report by Sacnilk, Sitaare Zameen Par has earned Rs 94.95 crore in its first week at the box office. On Friday alone, the film brought in Rs 6.05 crore, as per early estimates. With a steady one-week total of Rs 88.9 crore earlier reported, the Aamir Khan-starrer has maintained a consistent pace. If the current trend continues, the film is expected to enter the Rs 100 crore club by the end of its second weekend in theatres across India. The film has now surpassed the lifetime India collection of Akshay Kumar's Kesari 2, which had capped at Rs 92.53 crore. Sitaare Zameen Par is considered a spiritual successor to Aamir Khan's 2007 classic Taare Zameen Par. The original film followed the moving story of Ishaan, a dyslexic child played by Darsheel Safary, and touched hearts across the nation with its sensitive portrayal of learning disabilities. It also featured Tisca Chopra and Vipin Sharma. On the other hand, Sitaare Zameen Par is a sports comedy drama film produced by Aamir Khan and Aparna Purohit. Aroush Datta, Gopi Krishna Varma, Samvit Desai, Vedant Sharma, Ayush Bhansali, Ashish Pendse, Rishi Shahani, Rishabh Jain, Naman Mishra and Simran Mangeshkar will make their Hindi cinema debut with the film. The film also boasts a strong supporting cast with seasoned performers like Dolly Ahluwalia, Gurpal Singh, Brijendra Kala, and Ankita Sehgal. The story centres on Gulshan, a former star basketball coach portrayed by Aamir Khan, who is ordered to coach a group of neurodivergent children as part of his community service following a DUI offence. What starts off as a begrudging assignment soon evolves into a life-changing experience for both him and the team. Genelia Deshmukh plays Sunita, Gulshan's supportive wife. N ews18 gave 3.5 rating to Sitaare Zameen Par. A part of our review read, 'Unlike Taare Zameen Par's Nikumbh, Gulshan isn't perfect. This is a flawed, man-child character, dealing with his own traumas, learning to navigate life with the help of those who suffer developmental delays. So far, on paper, Sitaare Zameen Par seems rather fantastic, novel, and heartfelt. And don't get us wrong — it definitely is all of that. But it also has its share of flaws that become a bump in its path to becoming a great film. To start with, at 2 hours 39 minutes, the film appears to be an extremely long and slow-moving affair."
