Who is Sara Arjun? From Maggi, LIC ads to movie sets — meet Ranveer Singh's co-star in Dhurandhar
Dhurandhar movie's first look has got everyone talking not only because of Ranveer Singh's intense energy, but also because of Sara Arjun — the movie's only actress shown so far. Singh's co-star Sara Arjun, who is just 20 years old, isn't new to the spotlight. Reportedly, Sara Arjun became the highest-paid child actress in India, earning up to ₹ 10 crore by 2023 — all of it just at the age of 18. Sara is the daughter of actor Raj Arjun, who has been awarded for movies such as Thalaivi, Dear Comrade, Watchman. According to a report by Indulge, Sara Arjun earned as much as ₹ 4 lakh per movie. With a string of standout roles, including her pivotal part in Mani Ratnam's epic 'Ponniyin Selvan' film, her movies raked in ₹ 800 crore globally. Born in Mumbai, in 2005, Sara Arjun began her career even before she could form full sentences. Starting her career in advertisements as a toddler, Sara had appeared in over 100 TV commercials before she turned six, mentions a report by OneIndia. Starring in commercials for brands such as Maggi, LIC, Sara became a familiar face for Indian households long before she forayed into movies, and eventually becoming actor Ranveer Singh's co-star in the much anticipated movie Dhurandhar. An Indian Express article from 2006 mentions that Sara has been modelling since she was 21-month-old and has played the 'lovable little girl' in ads for the brands. Besides playing a younger version of Aishwarya Rai's character in Mani Ratnam's epic Ponniyin Selvan saga, Sara Arjun was also seen in Hindi movies such as Ek Thi Daayan, 404, Jazbaa, and The Song of Scorpions. The young actress's Tamil hits also include Saivam, Sillu Karupatti. Now, Sara Arjun will once again be seen in the big screens, this time in the Dhurandhar movie. Directed by Aditya Dhar of "Uri: The Surgical Strike" fame, Dhurandhar movie's makers released the first look of the action thriller across social media platforms today, July 6. "Dhurandhar", featuring Ranveer Singh in the lead role, and actress Sara Arjun, is set to hit the big screens on December 5, said the makers of the movie, as per PTI. Uploading the teaser on his Instagram handle, Ranveer Singh wrote, "An inferno will rise. Uncover the true story of The Unknown Men. #Dhurandhar on 5th December 2025." The film, which was announced by Ranveer in July last year, also stars Sanjay Dutt, Akshaye Khanna, R Madhavan, and Arjun Rampal in pivotal roles.

Using AI to help plan your finances? Here's what ChatGPT gets wrong
It's the em dash, apparently. That extra-long line you might have noticed in social media posts, blogs and emails – and it could be a giveaway that ChatGPT has entered the chat. This distinctive punctuation mark is apparently a favourite of the world's most popular AI chatbot. Its sudden appearance in everyday writing has sparked suspicions (and a rising feeling of awkwardness among those of us who do genuinely use it!). Maybe all those heartfelt LinkedIn posts about what the death of a family parrot can teach us about leadership aren't quite what they seem… Spotting more serious signs of chatbot influence isn't always so easy, especially when it comes to our finances. New research from Fidelity International suggests that 25% of Gen Z and millennials are using AI to learn about investing. Yet ChatGPT may be getting up to one in three financial questions wrong. That's according to broker analysis site Investing In The Web, which asked 100 personal finance questions such as 'How do I save for my child's education?' and 'What are the pros and cons of investing in gold?'. A panel of experts reviewed the responses and found 65% were accurate. But 29% were incomplete or misleading while 6% were flat-out wrong. And it's not just ChatGPT. Many Google searches show an AI-generated 'overview' at the top of the results page. A study by financial services digital agency Indulge found a quarter of these summaries for common finance queries were inaccurate. Ironically, Indulge used ChatGPT's latest model to fact-check each Google overview. Phase two of the study will involve human experts weighing in. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Paul Wood, the director overseeing this research, is not impressed. 'Anything less than 100 per cent accuracy is, in my view, a failure of the system,' he says. So why is generative AI often wide of the mark? It depends entirely on the prompts it is given and the data it is trained on, both of which can be flawed or outdated. It rarely shows its workings or sources. And, to put it bluntly, ChatGPT is designed to sound polished and plausible. Too often it resembles a smooth-talking chancer trying to blag their way through a job interview. To be fair, humans don't have a spotless record here, either. The Financial Ombudsman received 1,459 complaints about financial advisers last year and upheld 57% of those relating to misselling or suitability of advice, which made up the most complaints. That's a tiny proportion of the hundreds of thousands it receives about the wider financial industry, but still. For most people, professional advice simply isn't accessible. According to a poll by asset-management giant Schroders, three quarters of advisers won't take on clients with less than £50,000 to invest. It's because advisers typically charge a percentage fee and smaller pots aren't worth their while. Meanwhile, banks and pension providers can't offer straightforward guidance about your money because they're not regulated to give advice. So is it any wonder AI is stepping in? The financial sector knows it has to catch up. The Financial Conduct Authority is changing the rules to allow more firms to offer 'targeted support', sometimes via AI. For example, it wants pension funds to be able warn a customer if they are drawing down money from their nest egg too quickly and investors to be told if cheaper funds are available. A senior figure at a major financial firm recently told me about a customer who held their pension and bank account with it. When they tried to cash in their retirement pot, staff spotted regular gambling activity on their statements. Instead of waving it through, the firm urged the customer to seek help. Some financial advisers are automating admin tasks to cut costs and serve more clients, including those with less money. Octopus Money blends AI-generated suggestions – via a proprietary algorithm – with human money-coaches. More Trending Other tools, such as specialised chatbots, can analyse your finances and tell you where you're going right – or wrong. Take Cleo – it offers two tones: 'hype mode' praises your good behaviour while 'roast mode' gives you a playful telling-off and might say 'here are the companies that are bleeding you dry'. Apparently, most of Cleo's seven million users prefer roast mode. Maybe we all know deep down that financial tough love can go a long way. Which brings us back to ChatGPT, infamous for telling you your ideas are brilliant. To avoid its pitfalls, give it as much detail as possible in your prompt. Always ask for sources and remember that its answers may not be current or relevant to the UK. Check privacy settings if you're concerned about data being used to train future models. And most importantly, don't treat its advice as gospel. Specialist financial AI could be a game-changer. But right now? I'm not sure I want the robot equivalent of Del Boy handling my investments – do you?
