The visuals of Zayed performing her funeral rituals as per Hindu traditions had sparked debate online, given Zarine’s Parsi roots and her marriage into a Muslim family. Now, speaking about the criticism, Zayed has made it clear that the decision was guided solely by his mother’s final wish. In a recent interview, Zayed spoke emotionally about his family’s belief system, emphasizing that religion is deeply personal and not something to be judged externally. “We as a family find religion to be something very personal to you, and how you want to approach it, and not something which is better and which is worse. These are not things that are good to say. We define ourselves by being a very secular family, and we don’t need to say why,” he said. Highlighting the values he grew up with, Zay...

In a historic box office milestone, Dhurandhar The Revenge has rewritten the record books in North America, emerging as the highest-grossing Indian film in the region. The film has surpassed the long-standing benchmark set by Baahubali: The Conclusion , effectively ending its 9-year reign at the top in the USA and Canada market. Dhurandhar The Revenge has not only crossed but comfortably overtaken the lifetime earnings of Baahubali: The Conclusion , a film that was widely considered untouchable in overseas circuits, particularly in North America. The record, which stood firm since 2017, has now been shattered. What makes this achievement even more remarkable is the scale at which Dhurandhar The Revenge has connected with the diaspora audience.

Jaggi Vasudev, widely known as Sadhguru, recently interacted with Alia Bhatt during a conversation in Chennai, where the actor spoke about parenting concerns and sought his perspective on raising children. In a video from the interaction, Alia asked him, “Your one advice to a parent who’s worried if they’re being a good parent would be?” Responding with a smile, Sadhguru said, “A worried parent is not a good parent.” As the audience reacted with laughter, Alia replied, “I don’t think you can take worry out of it. I think you’d admit.” The exchange drew attention online as the actor rarely speaks publicly about parenting her daughter, Raha Kapoor. Alia and Ranbir Kapoor began dating during the making of Brahmastra and confirmed their relationship in 2018. The couple married in an intimate ceremony at their Mumbai home in April 2022 and welcomed their daughter in November the same year. While Alia initially shared a few photographs after revealing Raha’s face publicly on her first b...
