Cannes Film Festival 2025: Shalini Passi's Rs 1,45,600 mouth-shaped earrings with off-shoulder white gown exudes Cleopatra energy
Channeling siren woman energy, Shalini Passi decided to turn heads in a high-end garb by the Italian fashion designer, Schiaparelli. The brand is known for its edgy, eccentric, and trippy couture. Keeping it monochromatic yet surreal, Passi's dress held a goddess-like charm. The full-length gown featured an off-shoulder silhouette with a straight neckline. The body-hugging dress wrapped Shalini's form gracefully, exuding unparalleled feminine vibes.
The tailoring of this dress was mesmerizing as it was ruched at the midriff all the way down to the knees before splitting and forming a train. It also boasted pleats, emerging from the bosom and cascading to the floor, making it an enigmatic flair.
The Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives fame's accessories for this look were particularly fascinating. Curated from Schiaparelli, she wore an artisanal neckpiece that featured a half-face sculpture, studded with silver accented piercing jewelry and a silver tear drop. The eccentric charm was secured by chunky chains.
She further adorned Schiaparelli's mouth-shaped earrings with rhinestone-studded piercings, adding voguish vibes to her fit. These earrings came with a hefty price tag of around Rs 1,45,600. The fashionista also wore a square-shaped ring and a wristband with an eye charm. The quirky gold jewelry with the white gown and Shalini's bewitching aura exuded queen Cleopatra vibes.
The style maven carried a swirly, rhinestone-studded bag from the lavish handbag label, Judith Lieber. The bedazzled accessory added a sparkle to her monochrome attire.
Shalini paired her white dress with white platform heels from the brand Valentino. The straight-line dress and the significantly high heels gave her form a statuesque appeal, adding to her magical aura.
For her make-up, Passi went for a snatched and glowy glam. She flaunted winged eyeliner with golden eyeshadows, exuding femme fatale vibes. The reality TV star boasted a dewy base with blushed-up cheeks and nude pink lips. And yet, it was her lethal aura that captivated the scene.
Going for a clean-girl aesthetic, Shalini put her hair up in a sleek ponytail—her luscious, black tresses adding to the diva's surreal energy.

High court upholds summons to Kangana Rananut in ‘Rs 100' tweet defamation case
Chandigarh: The Punjab and Haryana high court on Friday dismissed a petition filed by actor-turned-MP Kangana Ranaut challenging her summoning by a Punjab court in a defamation case, making it clear that the magistrate has duly applied mind to the material on record while summoning her. Justice Tribhuvan Dahiya, in a detailed 15-page order, said, "There are specific allegations against the petitioner who is a celebrity, that false and defamatory imputations by her in the retweet have dented the respondent's (Mahender Kaur) reputation and lowered her in her own estimation, as also in the eyes of others. Therefore, filing of the complaint to vindicate her rights cannot be termed mala fide." Ranaut is accused of defaming 73-year-old Mohinder Kaur, a farmer activist, through a tweet during the height of the farmers' protests against the now scrapped farm laws in 2020. Ranaut allegedly misidentified Kaur as Bilkis Bano of Shaheen Bagh fame and implied that such women could be hired to participate in protests for Rs 100. "Such remark, prima facie proves that the intent of the accused was to paint the complainant as a person of dubious integrity who is protesting without any cause and just for financial gains," the high court observed. Ranaut's counsel had contended that the trial court misconstrued provisions of Section 202 of CrPC and argued that she had only re-tweeted content by 'Adhivakta Gautam Yadav', who was not arrayed as an accused. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like She grew up to be America's sweetheart... can YOU guess? Watch More Undo The counsel pleaded that the retweet was made in good faith, without intent to harm Kaur's reputation, and in the absence of mens rea, the magistrate should not have proceeded. The order was passed on Feb 22, 2022. Senior advocate G K Mann, representing the complainant, argued that there was no dispute that Ranaut herself made the defamatory on the face of it retweet, which contains serious allegations against Kaur's character. Mann also said that Ranaut had shown no remorse or tendered any apology, suggesting intentional harm. The bench concluded that the summoning order was passed after due application of mind to the facts and preliminary evidence. The court also noted that it was not the petitioner's case that the retweet was not made by her. Regarding the complaint being filed solely against Ranaut, the judge observed, "Still further, because the respondent has filed a complaint only against the petitioner and not against the person to whom the original tweet has been attributed, in itself cannot be a ground to contend that the complaint is mala fide." 'Extra responsibility' on celebrities "As she (Kangana) holds a position of influence over the masses, she has extra responsibility on her shoulders to verify the truthfulness of the remarks made by her. It is evident from the evidence led by the complainant that the accused (Kangana) made the impugned defamatory remark without going into the truthfulness... She even failed to tender any apology to the complainant after knowing the truth." Justice Tribhuvan Dahiya Complaint was filed in 2021 The defamation complaint was filed on Jan 4, 2021, by Mohinder Kaur of Fatehgarh Jandia village in Bathinda. Kaur initiated the case in Bathinda court against Ranaut for her tweet (which was later deleted) that identified Kaur as Bilkis Bano of Shaheen Bagh fame and claimed such women could be hired for protests for Rs 100. Kaur had provided evidence asserting that Ranaut's words had damaged her image. The farmer stated that her family, owning 12 acres of land, found the accusation of protesting for a mere Rs 100 intolerable. MSID:: 123044276 413 |

Community service, security boost, crowd control top clubs' Durga Puja grant spend wish list in Kolkata
Kolkata: Chief minister Mamata Banerjee's announcement of an increased grant of Rs 1.1 lakh to each registered Durga Puja committee in the state has added to the festive fervour. This move has been welcomed by organisers and the larger puja fraternity at a time when artisans are busy giving shape to Durga idols and pandals across the city. The announcement, an increase from last year's Rs 85,000, has sent the city's thousands of puja committees to the table to plan how to spend the money in the most efficient way. While the lights, pandals, and processions will certainly dazzle, organisers are prioritising security, crowd management, and community engagement this year. Part of the funds will also go towards increasing the pay of sanitation workers, electricians, and other essential service providers during the festival. Bhowanipur 75 Palli will spend the grant on promoting the 'Save Drive, Save Life' campaign, besides endorsing Bengal as a tourist destination. "We will put in place healthcare facilities," said Subir Das, secretary of the puja committee.
