'Bridgerton' star Charithra Chandran steals the spotlight from Andrew Garfield at Wimbeldon
While much of the media focused on Garfield's courtside presence, it was the Bridgerton star's elegant look that captivated viewers and went viral across TikTok and Instagram.
Chandran, attending as a Ralph Lauren ambassador, wore a crisp white shirt paired with a green cashmere sweater, luxe lambskin shorts, and white bellies. She completed the look with a signature Bridgerton-inspired hairstyle that drew admiration online.
As her images started to circulate widely, internet users couldn't help but wonder who she is. Born in Scotland to Indian Tamil parents, she studied Philosophy, Politics and Economics at Oxford before joining the National Youth Theatre.
Known primarily for playing Edwina Sharma in Bridgerton Season 2, Chandran has also been a part of Alex Rider, Star Wars: Visions, and Dune: Prophecy.
Her upcoming film Christmas Karma, a Bollywood-style reimagining of A Christmas Carol, features an ensemble cast including Eva Longoria and Billy Porter.
Addressing her newfound Wimbledon fame, Chandran humorously stated on TikTok that going viral was "not on my 2025 bingo card.'

Love Island stars JaNa and Kenny split turns ugly amid racism accusations
Love Island USA star JaNa Craig has gone public with serious accusations against ex-boyfriend Kenny Rodriguez, and now her fellow castmates Liv and Leah Kateb are backing her up with even stronger claims. Craig confirmed their breakup on July 29 via Instagram, writing, 'None of the breakup theories match up to how terrible, disgusting and disappointing it truly is.' She added that discovering the relationship was not genuine from the start had been 'truly devastating.' Rodriguez issued a more neutral response, stating the relationship 'was not something that could last long-term.' Minutes later, Craig called him a 'manipulative liar' and warned him not to 'piss [her] off.' Leah Kateb, JaNa's close friend from Season 6, reposted Craig's story and tagged Kenny, calling him 'racist, clout/money hungry, and a scammer since DAY 1!!!!' She urged him to 'tell the truth for once.' Fellow islander Liv Walker also showed support, calling Craig 'a good person' and telling Kenny, 'I hope this gives you the clout you always wanted, you f***ing loser.' Craig and Rodriguez were a fan-favorite couple during Love Island USA Season 6 and finished in third place. The couple appeared together in Love Island: Beyond the Villa, where cracks in their relationship had already begun to show, particularly around living arrangements. Most castmates, including Serena Page, Leah Kateb, and their partners, have now unfollowed Rodriguez. Peacock has not responded to the accusations. Episode 4 of Beyond the Villa, airing July 31, is expected to reflect the drama.

JaNa Craig confirms Kenny Rodriguez breakup, says truth is 'worse than fan theories'
Love Island USA star JaNa Craig has officially confirmed her breakup with Kenny Rodriguez, issuing a powerful statement on Instagram that directly addressed widespread fan speculation. On July 29, JaNa wrote, 'Please know that I have seen all the breakup theories and none have matched up to how terrible, disgusting and disappointing it truly is.' She went on to describe the emotional toll of realizing the man she loved was not who he seemed, writing, 'That is truly devastating. But as a child of God, I will always be okay.' Her statement came after several fan observations pointed to a split: JaNa unfollowed Kenny on Instagram, deleted all posts with him, and removed his name from her bio. Mutual friends from Love Island Season 6, including Serena Page and Leah Kateb, also unfollowed Kenny, further fueling rumors. Sources confirmed that JaNa ended the relationship on July 27 and immediately turned to close friends for support. While no public argument occurred, insiders say the breakup was final and not temporary. JaNa and Kenny met on Season 6 of Love Island USA and placed third. Their relationship continued beyond the show on the spinoff Love Island: Beyond The Villa, but distance—JaNa living in Las Vegas and Kenny in Dallas—may have strained the bond. The breakup adds another name to the list of Love Island USA couples who failed to make it long-term. Craig's emotional post sets the record straight: what happened behind the scenes was far worse than fans ever guessed.

ALLDAY PROJECT Tarzzan faces backlash for allegedly using racist slur in viral rap video
Tarzzan, member of co-ed K-pop group ALLDAY PROJECT, is under fire once again, this time over a viral video in which he allegedly says the N-word while rapping. The 22-year-old idol was filmed during a guest appearance in a car, rapping along to 'LIKE WEEZY' by Playboi Carti. Fans claim he replaced the word 'boy' in the original lyrics with the racial slur. The video, initially uploaded to TikTok and later removed from YouTube, quickly spread across social media. Critics pointed to this moment as further evidence of ongoing cultural appropriation by the idol, citing his use of braids, grills, and overall styling influenced by Black culture since his debut. One user posted, 'Everything about that Tarzzan guy should have gotten him cancelled even before his debut,' adding that he has never addressed previous criticisms. Another user said, 'He has not issued a single apology or acknowledgement of his actions.' Defenders of Tarzzan argue the video may have been misinterpreted. The issue gained further traction when a fake apology, styled as an official statement surfaced online. The fan-made post referenced both the viral video and past allegations, falsely claiming Tarzzan had been removed from the group. While not real, the message captured what many fans believed the company should address. However, neither Tarzzan, ALLDAY PROJECT, nor their label THEBLACKLABEL has issued a public comment or apology regarding the incident.
