Why did Kareena Kapoor Khan choose ‘OG Kolhapuri' sandals over luxury brand? Bebo's subtle statement wins hearts
Kareena Kapoor Khan recently ignited widespread online discussion after she indirectly criticized a luxury fashion brand for controversially reinterpreting a classic Indian footwear design. Kareena Kapoor Khan recently sparked a wave of conversation online after she subtly called out a high-end fashion label for its controversial adaptation of a traditional Indian footwear style. The actress took to Instagram to share a candid snapshot featuring her feet adorned in a classic pair of Kolhapuri sandals. She proudly expressed her preference for these homegrown, handcrafted leather slippers over flashy designer versions, emphasizing her pride in native craftsmanship. In the photograph, Kareena wore a stylish variant of the Kolhapuri chappals with a shimmering metallic tint, subtly highlighting their aesthetic appeal and cultural value. Her post came shortly after a globally renowned Italian fashion house showcased footwear strikingly similar to Kolhapuris during a fashion show. The runway display immediately triggered backlash on social media, as many viewers criticized the luxury brand for not giving due credit to the artisans and the centuries-old Indian heritage behind the design. The controversy took on a more serious tone as voices from across the internet began demanding recognition for the traditional craft and the hardworking artisans who have been keeping the legacy of Kolhapuris alive for generations. The brand in question eventually acknowledged that their creation drew 'inspiration' from the iconic Indian slipper. They also committed to opening conversations with Indian craftsmen and industry stakeholders associated with the heritage, which dates back over 800 post quickly went viral and gained momentum across online platforms, especially on Reddit's Bolly Blinds Gossip community. Fans and followers praised her for standing up for Indian artisans and traditional design. Many users voiced frustration at how global brands often adopt Indian elements—whether in fashion, textiles, or patterns—without offering appropriate recognition or credit. One Redditor highlighted how this form of cultural appropriation has persisted for years, recalling how Indian Bandhani prints were previously repackaged as 'bandanas' in the West. Another user criticized the frequent pattern of Asian and particularly Indian innovations being rebranded or copied without acknowledgment, calling it a longstanding issue that continues to deny Indian creatives the recognition they deserve. While her social media post gained traction, Kareena has been unwinding in London with her family. A video making rounds online captured the actress enjoying a relaxed outing with her husband, Saif Ali Khan, and their sons, Taimur and Jeh. The family was seen walking through the city's vibrant streets, sampling local cuisine, and soaking in the London vibe, adding a personal touch to the professional buzz Kareena stirred with her statement.

Reddit Sparks Speculation Users Suggest He Values Privacy Missing During a Family Tragedy Agencies Their Journey Together Filmmaker and choreographer Farah Khan has built a strong digital following through her vibrant YouTube content, which includes her widely loved cooking show with personal chef Dilip. Her charismatic personality, candid conversations, and household banter have created a sense of familiarity with fans. However, many eagle-eyed social media users have pointed out the noticeable absence of her husband, director Shirish Kunder, from her vlogs and online presence. While her children and close friends often feature in her videos, Shirish remains missing from both her digital content and public curiosity surrounding Kunder's absence gained traction after a user on the well-known Bollywood gossip forum, BollyBlindsGossip, raised the question. The post noted how, despite Farah's outgoing and media-friendly personality, Shirish continues to stay away from the limelight. This led to discussions about whether his absence was merely a personal choice or indicative of something deeper within their personal life. The thread quickly attracted attention and went viral, with numerous users sharing their own Reddit users offered theories suggesting that Kunder is simply a private individual who prefers to stay out of the public eye. Some mentioned that Farah herself appears to respect and protect this side of her life by not involving him in her content. A few pointed to past interviews in which Farah had admitted that her marriage to Shirish came at a time when they were both ready for parenthood and that their relationship began casually before turning serious. These remarks were interpreted as further signs that the couple may simply be choosing to maintain their own speculation deepened in 2024 when Farah's mother, Menaka Irani, passed away after a prolonged illness. The funeral, held the same day, was attended by numerous Bollywood celebrities, including Shah Rukh Khan and Shilpa Shetty. However, Shirish Kunder was notably absent, as per a Bollywood Shaadis report. Videos from the ceremony circulated widely on social media, and many users openly questioned why he wasn't present during such an emotional and significant family event. His absence reignited debates and gave rise to numerous theories regarding his relationship with Farah's family or potential personal reasons that might have kept him Khan and Shirish Kunder tied the knot on December 9, 2004. The couple met while working together on the film Main Hoon Na, which starred Shah Rukh Khan, Sushmita Sen, Zayed Khan, and Amrita Rao.

Although Farah has often shared snippets of her motherhood journey and home life, she has consistently kept Shirish's presence minimal in her public content.

Why is Samantha Ruth Prabhu so upset? In viral video, visibly disturbed actress snaps at paps, ‘Stop it, guys'
Samantha Ruth Prabhu , a constant presence in the media due to her professional accomplishments and personal developments, is once again at the center of attention. This time, a brief but intense public moment has taken social media by storm. A recent video of the actress, known for her roles in Majili and Citadel: Honey Bunny, is gaining rapid traction online. In the footage, she appears visibly annoyed after receiving a phone call, just as she's approached by photographers attempting to capture her picture. The video, posted by paparazzo Varinder Chawla, shows Samantha outside what appears to be a gym. She's seen in activewear—a beige and brown-toned tank top paired with fitted pants. Her hair is casually tied back in a ponytail, and she carries a water bottle. Clearly not in the mood for interactions, she appears visibly uncomfortable as photographers persistently try to click her pictures. Ignoring their requests for a pose, she briefly gestures and seems to say something in frustration before walking away. This brief moment has since gone viral, sparking conversations in the Reddit community BollyBlindsGossip. Reactions have been divided, with some users criticising her for not handling the media more gracefully, while others have stepped in to defend her right to personal space .

They cited a similar incident involving actor Sidharth Malhotra, who was caught off-guard by paparazzi at a hospital after his publicist allegedly tipped them off. Another user argued that public figures don't always summon media attention, especially when going about their daily routines. They noted that gym entrances are frequent haunts for photographers in Mumbai, and stars like Samantha are spotted there often—but not always photographed. They questioned how critics would respond if cameras were suddenly thrust into their faces in such vulnerable moments. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Varinder Chawla (@varindertchawla) A particularly pointed comment compared the situation to inviting guests home, only for them to overstep boundaries. They suggested that even if Samantha's team had informed the paparazzi, the aggressive proximity and crowding around her were uncalled for. According to them, she had acknowledged the cameras with a wave, but the relentless pursuit that followed was invasive. Amidst this incident, Samantha is also being discussed for her rumoured relationship with filmmaker Raj Nidimoru , with whom she has worked on The Family Man and Citadel: Honey Bunny. Additionally, eagle-eyed fans recently noticed that her 'Ye Maaya Chesave' tattoo, once visible on the back of her neck and symbolizing a connection to ex-husband Naga Chaitanya, appears to have been removed—another detail fueling ongoing buzz around the actress.
