‘I am going to have dal makhani right after this,' says Tara Sutaria after walking at the India Couture Week, blowing kisses to beau Veer Pahariya
Taking centre stage was Tara Sutaria, who looked like she'd stepped out of a modern-day fairytale. She closed the show in a soft pastel Chantilly lace ballgown paired with a shimmering corset, delicate chiffon trails flowing behind her. The look was ethereal, but it was a moment off-script that truly stole the show.
As Nat King Cole's 'L-O-V-E' floated through the speakers, Tara made her way down the runway, smiling, playful, and fully in her element. But just as she reached the edge of the ramp, she glanced toward the front row, where her rumoured boyfriend, Veer Pahariya, was watching. The two locked eyes, subtly, but unmistakably. A flying kiss from Tara followed, which Veer returned with a cheeky wave. The chemistry? Unmissable.

Backstage, Tara revealed her plan to unwind. 'I am going to have dal makhani right after this walk, I just want to tell everybody that I am so excited for my dinner,' she told NDTV.
The evening was filled with standout moments. Suneet Varma unveiled his new collection, Sehr, with Riddhima Kapoor Sahni walking as the showstopper. The pieces blended soft pastel tones with rich gold threadwork, creating an almost dreamy vibe. Riddhima's flowing cape and minimal styling made sure the outfit remained the hero.

Earlier during the couture week, Rahul Mishra kicked off Day 1 with his latest offering, Becoming Love. Actor Tamannaah Bhatia turned showstopper, showcasing not one but two looks from the collection. The designs seemed to draw from the celestial: think moonlit textures, galactic sparkles, and a poetic take on traditional couture.

This is just the beginning. With big names like Manish Malhotra, Tarun Tahiliani, JJ Valaya, and even a posthumous collection from Rohit Bal still to come, the 18th edition of India Couture Week is shaping up to be one to remember.

Thalaivan Thalaivii: Nithya Menen Reveals Vijay Sethupathi Turned Set Chef, Served Omelettes Between Shots
New Delhi: Nithya Menen recently opened up about her latest Tamil film Thalaivan Thalaivii, which released on July 25 and stars Vijay Sethupathi alongside her. While Sethupathi plays a cook in the film, it turns out he wasn't just acting, he was also whipping up meals on set! In an exclusive conversation with NDTV, Nithya Menen said, "There was a stone that was always hot as it had to be a part of the scene. There was actual cooking happening there. Vijay had to learn how to do the whole parotta thing, so he'd actually keep making food for all of us. He loves experimenting with food and would feed everybody his creations." The camaraderie extended beyond the script. "Sometimes, if I'd say I'm hungry, he'd immediately ask, 'Want an omelette?' and go straight to the stone and start cooking one for me," said the actress. The film's set, built around a temple, became an emotional anchor for the cast and crew. "It was very much a part of the whole shoot. After we wrapped, many of us didn't want to return to the location without the set it felt incomplete. I did go back to visit the temple later, and it felt terrible to see the set gone. We were really attached to it." Thalaivan Thalaivii is more than just a story of a cook and his wife. Behind the scenes, it was also a story of warmth, food, and friendship.
