2/10
In the list of Katrina Kaif's iconic roles, her portrayal of Zoya in Ek Tha Tiger can't be missed. Starring as a Pakistani ISI agent, the actress marked her transition into Bollywood's action genre. She not only matched steps with Salman Khan in the film's adrenaline-pumping action sequences but also delivered emotional intensity, making Zoya one of her most memorable characters. The film's blockbuster success cemented her place as an action heroine. (Image: IMDb)

Stepping into a politically charged drama, Katrina broke her glam-doll image with Raajneeti. Her transformation into Indu Pratap, a character inspired by Congress leader Sonia Gandhi, showed a more mature side of her acting. To perfect her portrayal, she thoroughly researched Sonia Gandhi and even spent time with Priyanka Gandhi. (Image: IMDb)

This character has to be in Katrina's iconic roles list. We all loved how she portrayed the innocence and playful energy of Jenny. Instead of making the role feel just like a movie character, her portrayal was full of heart and humour with her girl-next-door charm and impeccable comic timing. Paired alongside Ranbir Kapoor, the character is a fan favourite to date and a must-watch in her filmography. (Image: IMDb)

10 best anti-romance anime that ditch the clichés
Tired of love triangles, sudden blushing, and last-minute love confessions? You're not alone. While romance dominates a huge chunk of anime, sometimes you just want a break from the clichés. That's where anti-romance anime comes in, shows that reject, subvert, or downright avoid romantic drama altogether. Whether it's cold protagonists, unrequited feelings, or stories that focus on literally anything else, these anime prove you don't need a love story to tell a compelling tale. Watch these anti-romance anime instead of another rom-com Mob Psycho 100 Source: IMDB Mob's got psychic powers strong enough to level cities but zero interest in dating. While a crush on Tsubomi is mentioned early on, romance is never the focus. Instead, Mob Psycho 100 explores self-worth, emotional growth, and finding purpose without needing a romantic partner. The Tatami Galaxy Here's a story about wasted college years, choices, and parallel timelines but no happy love endings. Despite a recurring crush subplot, The Tatami Galaxy dismantles the idea that romance = fulfilment. It's intellectual, fast-paced, and delightfully existential. Attack on Titan Let's be honest, Attack on Titan has bigger problems than dating. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Libas Purple Days Sale Libas Undo While some characters have subtle feelings, romance is never the core focus. This series is too busy throwing political mind games, titan wars, and soul-crushing trauma at you to waste time on love stories. Made in Abyss Emotionally intense and narratively deep, Made in Abyss centres on a dangerous journey through a deadly abyss. There's no space for romantic subplots, just curiosity, survival, and emotional devastation. It's beautiful, haunting, and completely anti-romance. Paranoia Agent Created by the legendary Satoshi Kon, Paranoia Agent is a surreal social thriller. Romance doesn't just take a backseat, it's often portrayed as toxic or delusional. If you're into cerebral narratives that dismantle traditional character dynamics, this one's for you. Bocchi the Rock! Friendship, music, and social anxiety, Bocchi the Rock! hits all the emotional beats without relying on romantic tropes. It's refreshingly focused on personal growth, artistic expression, and platonic bonds. Land of the Lustrous With genderless characters and a narrative that dives into identity, loss, and rebirth, Land of the Lustrous steps far away from traditional romance. It's stunning, philosophical, and deeply introspective, romance doesn't belong here, and that's the point. Death Note Sure, Misa's in love with Light but he couldn't care less. In fact, Light's manipulation of romance as a tool highlights just how anti-romantic this show really is. Power, justice, and ego rule here, not love. Girls' Last Tour Source: IMDB In a bleak post-apocalyptic world, two girls wander through ruined cities with no one left to love or fight. Their quiet bond is deeply emotional but never romantic. It's about companionship, survival, and existential dread, zero love triangles, guaranteed. No Game No Life Sibling duo Sora and Shiro dominate strategy and logic in a colourful world ruled by games. While other anime would force a romance subplot, this one keeps it platonic, chaotic, and focused on mind games rather than heartstrings. Anti-romance anime offers a refreshing alternative for viewers burnt out on forced love stories. These shows prove you can tell powerful, emotional, and mind-blowing stories without centring romantic tension. Whether you're craving action, psychology, or just something deeper than a will-they-won't-they subplot, these titles deliver.

Better Late Than Never: Shah Rukh Khan Wins Maiden National Award For Jawan
SRK has won several accolades over the years, including the much-respected Padma Shri from the Government of India and France's Ordre des Arts et des Lettres and Legion of Honour. However, a National Award eluded him until now. (Image: Instagram) While fans are elated with the win and celebrating, they cannot help but wonder what took 33 years SRK to win the honour. Social media platforms have listed four films that should have earned Shah Rukh Khan the National Award long back. Take a look. (Image: Instagram) Fans believe Shah Rukh Khan deserved to win the Best Actor award for Devdas (2002). Considered a masterclass in acting by many, the Sanjay Leela Bhansali film was truly poetry in motion. That year, Ajay Devgn won the nod for The Legend of Bhagat Singh. (Image: IMDb) Chak De! India (2007), another hallmark film in Shah Rukh Khan's career, was a surprise hit. The Shimit Amin-directed film struck the chords of fans, and is still regarded as one of the best performances of the actor. While the film won Best Popular Film Providing Wholesome Entertainment, the Best Actor award was won by Prakash Raj for the Tamil movie Kanchivaram that year. (Image: IMDb) And finally, Karan Johar-directed My Name Is Khan (2010) saw SRK in a light like no other. The sensitive acting won him praises all over, along with several awards. The National Award, however, was shared by Dhanush (Aadukalam) and Salim Kumar (Adaminte Makan Abu) that year. (Image: IMDb) But finally, Shah Rukh Khan is getting his due. Jawan was a massive blockbuster that rightly deserves all the accolades. The actor shared a moving video thanking his fans, directors, and family for their unwavering support. He will next be seen in King, along with his daughter Suhana. (Image: IMDb)
