Virat Kohli And Anushka Sharma’s Victory Dance Breaks The Internet After RCB’s IPL 2026 Triumph

Virat Kohli was at the center of celebrations after Royal Challengers Bengaluru successfully defended their IPL title with a five wicket victory over Gujarat Titans in the IPL 2026 final at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday.

After the win, a video shared by RCB on social media quickly gained attention among fans. The clip showed Kohli celebrating with his wife Anushka Sharma, Dinesh Karthik and other members of the squad. The joyful dance and celebrations soon went viral, giving supporters another memorable moment from a successful season for the franchise.

RCB produced a strong performance in the final to chase down a target of 156 in just 18 overs. Kohli led the effort with an unbeaten 75, playing a key role in helping the team secure its second IPL title and a second consecutive championship.

Speaking after the match, Kohli reflected on what the victory meant to him.

“(It is the) stuff you dream of. (I) thought of this moment many times, wanting to hit the winning run,” Kohli said at the post match presentation ceremony.

The veteran batter also spoke about how the changing nature of the game and the emergence of younger players have influenced his approach. During the conversation, he made an indirect reference to 15 year old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi and the impact young cricketers have had on experienced players.

Asked about his 25 ball half century, Kohli explained how the competition from the younger generation has encouraged him to adapt.

“Such is the demand (that) super young players (are) pushing you to up the ante,” he said in jest, but the seriousness of his statement wasn’t lost on anyone.

“I had to change my mindset, not my game so much, take on bowlers and get extra runs,” he added.

Kohli also highlighted the team’s collective effort throughout the tournament. He pointed out that in the first 10 matches of the season, eight different players won the Player of the Match award, showing that success was shared across the squad rather than depending on a single individual.

“We’ve had to wait for so long and then, just to have a group of guys where you feel like you’re stepping onto the ground, you don’t need to be the one to step up every time,” Kohli said.

Yo Yo Honey Singh Reveals He Went Completely Bald During Mental Health Battle

Yo Yo Honey Singh recently opened up about his long struggle with mental health, substance abuse and the physical effects of years of treatment. During a recent appearance on the ABtalks podcast, the singer revealed that heavy medication during his recovery caused severe hair loss and left him completely bald.

Honey Singh shared that he wore a wig after losing all his hair during treatment for bipolar disorder. Speaking about the difficult period in his life, he said, “I was on heavy medication for seven years. I became 105 kilos because of it, and I lost my hair completely. This is fake hair, I am totally bald. This is a wig.”

The singer also explained that recovery took much longer than most people realised. According to him, even after he stopped using drugs in 2014, he continued struggling mentally for several years. He said, “You won’t believe it, but even after I stopped doing drugs in 2014, it still took me seven to eight years to recover.”

Honey Singh spoke about how serious his condition became during that phase. He revealed that he isolated himself from almost everyone and stayed away from public life for years. Recalling that period, he said, “Then I called my sister and told her that something was happening to me. She said I would still have to do the show. I left midway after singing two songs. After that, I stayed inside my house for seven years. I didn’t want my fans to see me in that condition. I locked myself inside and didn’t even meet my childhood friends. There was no communication, no phone calls, no TV, no internet. People used to think the devil was talking to me.”

The singer further revealed that changing doctors and medications eventually helped him recover. According to Honey Singh, he had been on the same medicines for years without major improvement. He explained, “I was on the same medication for seven years and still wasn’t getting cured. But when I finally decided to step out of my house, I also changed my doctor. He changed some medicines, introduced new ones, and adjusted the dosage of the main salt. I started recovering within four weeks. In just four weeks, I started meeting people and facing life again.”

Before stepping away from public life, Honey Singh was one of the biggest names in Indian pop music and had delivered several hit songs. His recent comments have sparked discussion online about mental health struggles, addiction recovery and the side effects of long term treatment.

Mumbai celebrates UNESCO City of Film status with Marathi Cinema Weekend at NGMA

Mumbai’s rich cinematic heritage was celebrated through a special public programme titled Celebrating Mumbai – A UNESCO Creative City of Film, organised by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) in collaboration with the UNESCO Creative Cities Network (UCCN) at the National Gallery of Modern Art (NGMA), Mumbai. The event highlighted Mumbai’s longstanding position as the film capital of India and its distinction as the country’s only UNESCO City of Film. It was presented alongside the ongoing exhibition Lens and Legacy: Cinema in Focus, featuring iconic Hindi and Marathi film posters curated by noted film historian and archivist S.M.M. Ausaja.

Bringing together filmmakers, artists, animators, educators, cultural practitioners and cinema enthusiasts, the programme featured screenings, workshops, discussions and performances spread across multiple days. A key attraction was the Marathi Chalchitrapat Weekend, held on May 30 and 31, 2026, which celebrated the richness of Marathi cinema and contemporary storytelling.

The special segment showcased acclaimed Marathi films including Sthal, Baapya, Maay Bapache Aashirvad and Tighee. The screenings were accompanied by engaging conversations with filmmakers and actors such as Rajshri Deshpande, Jayant Somalkar and Sonali Kulkarni.

Award-winning actor Rajshri Deshpande, who attended the screening of her film Baapya, said, “This is a great initiative and I am very thankful for my film being shown at the Marathi Cinema programme. The collaboration between BMC and UNESCO celebrating Mumbai as a city of films is a great opportunity for our industry to celebrate our talent from across the country.”

Sthal director Jayant Somalkar expressed his appreciation for the initiative, saying, “Since Mumbai is the birthplace of Indian cinema and to celebrate movies from all over the country especially Marathi cinema is a great initiative. And we are thankful for being able to showcase our film Sthal at the event and wish many more collaborations in the the coming years.”

Director, producer and actor Shefali Bhushan also praised the effort. She said, “It’s a great initiative because Mumbai is a city of cinema. And having a Marathi cinema weekend is icing on the cake as Mumbai is in Maharashtra, and Marathi cinema is known for its powerful storytelling. We hope that it will continue and keep rising to greater heights. We are grateful to be invited to present our film here. More power to this initiative.”

Speaking about the significance of the event, Mrs. Shashi Bala, Chief Business Development Officer, BMC, said, “Marathi cinema has long been the heartbeat of Mumbai’s cultural imagination, bold, humane, and unafraid to experiment. As a UNESCO Creative City of Film, Mumbai is committed to nurturing that spirit and showcasing the contemporary voices shaping our stories today. The Marathi Cinema Weekend at NGMA Mumbai brings filmmakers, artists, and audiences together in a space of discovery and dialogue, celebrating the craft, the language, and the city that inspires it.”

Senior curator and film critic Meenakshi Shedde lauded the collaboration and said, “I would really like to congratulate the entire team behind this amazing event Shashi Bala, BMC’s Chief Business Development Officer, Nidhi Choudhury, who is Director of the NGMA, the National Gallery of Modern Art, and Anupama Bose, for coming up with this deep and landmark collaboration between the BMC, NGMA and the UNESCO Creative Cities of Film.”

The programme opened with a ceremonial lamp-lighting ceremony attended by Mumbai Mayor Smt. Ritu Tawde and several distinguished guests.

In her inaugural address, Smt. Ritu Tawde said, “Mumbai’s identity has always been shaped by its openness and creativity. It is a city that allows people to dream beyond boundaries and offers opportunities to fulfil those dreams. Through cinema, generations of artists, musicians, filmmakers, technicians and storytellers have found not only a platform for expression but also meaningful livelihoods. This spirit of inclusion is what makes Mumbai truly special.”

Through Celebrating Mumbai – A UNESCO Creative City of Film, the BMC-UCCN initiative continues to recognise Mumbai as more than just a backdrop for cinema. The programme underscores the city’s role as a vibrant cultural force that inspires storytelling, preserves artistic legacy and nurtures future generations of creators.

Open to the public, the event invited audiences of all ages to reconnect with Mumbai through its films, memories, music, movement and stories, further strengthening the city’s position as one of the world’s most significant creative hubs.

Dua Lipa and Callum Turner Marry: Everything fans need to know

Fans around the world are celebrating after reports emerged that global pop superstar Dua Lipa and acclaimed actor Callum Turner have officially tied the knot, marking a major milestone in one of entertainment’s most talked about love stories. The couple’s relationship first captured public attention in early 2024 when they were spotted together on multiple occasions. While both Dua and Callum have generally preferred to keep their personal lives away from the spotlight, their growing relationship soon became impossible for fans to ignore. Over the months, the pair were frequently seen supporting each other at public events, sparking admiration from fans who loved seeing the two stars together.

A significant moment in their journey came in 2025 when Dua confirmed that she and Callum were engaged. Speaking about the engagement, the singer shared how excited she was and revealed that the ring had been specially designed with input from people closest to her. The confirmation delighted fans who had spent months speculating about the future of the couple.

Now, according to multiple international media reports, Dua and Callum have exchanged vows in an intimate ceremony attended by close family members and friends. While the couple has not publicly shared extensive details about the wedding, reports suggest they chose a private and meaningful celebration rather than a large public event.

For many fans, the news feels like the perfect next chapter in a romance that has unfolded steadily over the last two years. Throughout their relationship, both stars have maintained busy professional schedules while continuing to support each other’s careers. Dua has remained one of the most successful artists in global music, while Callum has continued building an impressive acting career with acclaimed performances across film and television.

Their relationship has often stood out because of its authenticity. Rather than making headlines through constant public appearances, the couple appeared to focus on building a strong connection away from the glare of celebrity culture. That approach only made fans more invested in their story, with many praising the pair for keeping their relationship grounded despite their worldwide fame.

The reported wedding also comes at a particularly exciting time in both of their careers. Dua continues to dominate the music industry with chart success, sold out performances, and a growing influence beyond music. Callum, meanwhile, has established himself as one of Britain’s most respected actors, earning praise for his versatility and screen presence.

As news of their marriage spread, social media quickly filled with messages of congratulations from fans across the globe. Many described the couple as one of the entertainment industry’s most beloved pairs, celebrating not only their wedding but also the genuine affection they have consistently shown for one another.

Although fans are still eagerly waiting for official wedding photographs or personal messages from the newlyweds, the excitement surrounding the news has already made it one of the most talked about celebrity moments of the year.

For admirers of both Dua Lipa and Callum Turner, the reported marriage represents more than just a celebrity wedding. It is the culmination of a relationship that has grown steadily in the public eye while remaining remarkably private. As they begin this new chapter together, fans everywhere are wishing the couple a lifetime of happiness, success, and love.

Kelly Curtis, Actress and Sister of Jamie Lee Curtis, Dies at 69

Kelly Curtis, actress, director, and the eldest daughter of Hollywood icons Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh, has passed away at the age of 69. The news was announced by her younger sister, actress Jamie Lee Curtis, who shared a heartfelt tribute on social media revealing that Kelly died peacefully at her home on May 30. “A warm aloha to my older sister, Kelly Lee Curtis,” Jamie Lee Curtis wrote. “She passed away this morning. In her home. In nature. At peace.”

Remembering her sister as both a lifelong friend and confidant, Jamie described Kelly as a woman known for her generosity, curiosity, strong opinions, love for family, travel, nature, and her unique sense of style. She also fondly recalled Kelly’s famous Christmas almond crescent cookies, which earned her the family nickname “Auntie Cookie.”

Born in Santa Monica, California, in 1956, Kelly Curtis made her first screen appearance as an infant in the 1958 film The Vikings, which starred both of her parents. However, rather than immediately pursuing an acting career, she attended Skidmore College and later studied at the Lee Strasberg Theatre & Film Institute.

Kelly returned to acting in the early 1980s and appeared alongside Jamie Lee Curtis in the comedy classic Trading Places. Throughout the decade and into the 1990s, she built a steady career with appearances in projects including The Renegades, The Equalizer, Kojak, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, The Sentinel, Silk Stalkings, Hunter, and Judging Amy.

One of her notable film roles came in 1991’s The Devil’s Daughter, a project co-written and produced by acclaimed Italian filmmaker Dario Argento.

Beyond acting, Curtis also worked behind the scenes. She served as an assistant to Jamie Lee Curtis on films such as Freaky Friday, Christmas with the Kranks, and You Again. She later directed several projects, including the 2018 documentary Marby Jets Are Go and the Halloween documentary The Night She Came Home.

Jamie Lee Curtis concluded her tribute by recalling a blessing Kelly often used when saying goodbye: “Isten Veled,” which translates to “God is with you.”

“Isten veled to my sister of the sun and the moon, my Tai. I’ll see you on down the line,” she wrote.

Kelly Curtis is survived by her husband, producer Scott Morfee, whom she married in 1989, as well as her half-siblings Alexandra, Allegra, and Ben.

Drishyam 3 Crosses ₹200 Crore Worldwide Despite Day 9 Drop

Mohanlal’s Drishyam 3 witnessed a decline in collections on its ninth day in theatres but continued its successful run at the box office. According to early estimates, the film collected ₹4.30 crore nett in India on Day 9. This was around 35 per cent lower than the ₹6.65 crore nett earned on the previous day.

Despite the drop, the film has continued to attract audiences, particularly in Kerala, which remains its strongest market. The Malayalam version continues to contribute the majority of the film’s earnings. On Day 9, the Malayalam version generated around ₹4 crore from 1,826 shows and recorded an occupancy of approximately 42 per cent.

The dubbed versions also added to the overall collection, although on a smaller scale. The Telugu version earned around ₹15 lakh, while the Tamil version contributed ₹10 lakh. The Kannada version collected approximately ₹5 lakh on the same day.

With its latest earnings, Drishyam 3 has crossed another important milestone. The film’s India gross collection has now reached ₹100.08 crore, while its India nett collection stands at ₹86.25 crore after 9 days in theatres.

The film has also maintained a strong performance in overseas markets. Reports suggest that it earned ₹6 crore internationally on Day 9, taking its overseas gross collection to ₹109 crore. Combining both domestic and overseas earnings, the film’s worldwide gross collection has now reached ₹209.08 crore.

This achievement has helped Drishyam 3 become one of the highest grossing Malayalam films of 2026. At present, it holds the second position among Malayalam releases this year. The top spot remains with Vaazha II: Biopic of a Billion Bros, which has reportedly collected ₹235.26 crore worldwide.

Drishyam 3 has already surpassed the lifetime collections of several Malayalam releases, including Aadu 3, which earned ₹120.11 crore worldwide, Patriot with ₹79.97 crore, Athiradi with ₹62.95 crore and Bharathanatyam 2 Mohiniyattam with ₹40.04 crore.

The film opened strongly on its release day, collecting ₹15.85 crore. It maintained momentum throughout its opening week, earning nearly ₹54.45 crore nett within its first four days and ending its first week with a total India nett collection of ₹81.95 crore.

Released worldwide on May 21, 2026, coinciding with Mohanlal’s 66th birthday, Drishyam 3 is written and directed by Jeethu Joseph. The film marks the return of Georgekutty, one of the most popular characters in Malayalam cinema. The cast also includes Meena, Ansiba Hassan, Esther Anil, Siddique and Asha Sarath in important roles.

As the film enters its second weekend, attention will be on whether it can maintain its momentum and continue adding to its already impressive box office total.

Bhooth Bangla Inches Closer To Surpassing Housefull 5 At The Box Office

Bhooth Bangla continues to perform steadily at the Indian box office even after more than six weeks in theatres. The horror comedy added an estimated ₹0.50 crore on its seventh Friday, taking its total India nett collection to ₹165.25 crore after 43 days of release.

The film has managed to maintain a stable run despite entering its seventh week. One of the reasons behind its continued performance is the lack of a major new release in cinemas this weekend. With limited competition, the movie has been able to retain screens and continue attracting audiences.

Starring Akshay Kumar in the lead role, Bhooth Bangla is now close to crossing another important milestone. Based on current box office trends, the film is expected to overtake the lifetime India nett collection of Housefull 5, which stands at ₹168 crore. If the film continues its current pace, it could complete its theatrical run with collections close to ₹170 crore nett.

The movie’s performance is particularly notable because it has maintained collections over an extended period. While many films experience a sharp decline after the first few weeks, Bhooth Bangla has continued to draw audiences, helping it build a strong overall total.

For Akshay Kumar, the film marks an important box office success. The actor has faced several challenges at the box office in recent years, especially after 2020. However, a series of better performing releases over the last year, combined with the success of Bhooth Bangla, has helped strengthen his recent track record.

Akshay Kumar is also known for maintaining a consistent release schedule compared to many other leading actors. His films regularly arrive in theatres, contributing to the overall flow of releases in the industry. This consistency has often been seen as an important factor in keeping audiences engaged with theatrical cinema throughout the year.

As Bhooth Bangla moves further into its theatrical run, industry attention will remain on whether it can comfortably cross the ₹168 crore mark and finish near ₹170 crore. For now, the film remains one of the stronger long running performers at the box office this year.

Bhooth Bangla India Nett Box Office Collections:

Week One: ₹80.25 crore

Week Two: ₹40.75 crore

Week Three: ₹21.00 crore

Week Four: ₹12.00 crore

Week Five: ₹6.00 crore

Week Six: ₹4.75 crore

Seventh Friday: ₹0.50 crore (est.)

Total: ₹165.25 crore nett

Chand Mera Dil Nears ₹20 Crore Mark Despite Second Friday Drop

Chand Mera Dil continued its run at the Indian box office with an estimated collection of ₹1.25 crore on its second Friday. With this, the romantic drama has taken its total earnings to ₹19.50 crore nett after 8 days in theatres.

The film, directed by Vivek Soni and backed by Dharma Productions, witnessed a 45 per cent drop in collections compared to the previous day. While the decline is noticeable, the movie still managed to maintain its presence at cinemas as it entered its second week. The coming weekend will be important for the film, as Saturday and Sunday collections are expected to provide a clearer picture of its overall box office performance.

According to current trends, Chand Mera Dil is expected to show growth over the weekend and could finish its second weekend with collections close to ₹23 crore. Weekend numbers often play a major role in determining how long a film can sustain its theatrical run, especially for romantic dramas that depend heavily on audience recommendations.

The film has received mixed reactions from viewers and critics. This may have impacted its ability to maintain stronger collections during weekdays. Films that receive highly positive word of mouth often see better growth after the opening weekend, while mixed reviews can make it more challenging to attract new audiences.

Romantic dramas and medium budget films have generally faced difficulties at the box office in recent years, particularly after the pandemic. Audience preferences have shifted, and many films in this category have struggled to achieve strong theatrical runs. However, there have been exceptions. Movies such as Saiyaara and Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat managed to perform well and emerged as successful box office ventures.

As Chand Mera Dil enters its second weekend, industry observers will be watching closely to see whether it can maintain momentum and improve its collections. A strong weekend could help the film move closer to the ₹23 crore mark and provide a boost to its overall theatrical performance.

Day Wise Box Office Collection Of Chand Mera Dil:

Day 1: ₹2.75 crore

Day 2: ₹3.50 crore

Day 3: ₹4.25 crore

Day 4: ₹2.00 crore

Day 5: ₹1.75 crore

Day 6: ₹1.75 crore

Day 7: ₹2.25 crore

Day 8: ₹1.25 crore (est.)

Total: ₹19.50 crore nett

Pati Patni Aur Woh Do Crosses ₹50 Crore Mark At The Box Office

Pati Patni Aur Woh Do has crossed an important milestone at the Indian box office, earning a total nett collection of ₹50.09 CR. The film, starring Ayushmann Khurrana, Rakul Preet Singh, Sara Ali Khan and Wamiqa Gabbi, has continued to attract audiences since its release and remains one of the notable performers in theatres this year.

The film’s latest box office achievement comes after a steady run over the past three weeks. While many films witness a significant drop in collections after their opening week, Pati Patni Aur Woh Do has managed to maintain audience interest. Industry observers have pointed to positive word of mouth and family audience support as some of the factors behind its consistent performance.

According to the latest figures, the film has now collected ₹50.09 CR nett at the India box office. Crossing the ₹50 Crore mark is often viewed as a significant benchmark, particularly for films that rely heavily on audience recommendations and sustained theatre attendance rather than a strong opening weekend alone.

One of the notable aspects of the film’s run has been its ability to attract viewers well into its third week. Repeat viewership and family audiences have reportedly contributed to maintaining footfalls in cinemas. The film has continued to find an audience among viewers looking for light hearted and family oriented entertainment on the big screen.

The cast includes Ayushmann Khurrana, Rakul Preet Singh, Sara Ali Khan and Wamiqa Gabbi, all of whom play key roles in the story. Since its release, the film has remained part of the box office conversation due to its stable performance despite competition from newer releases.

The latest box office numbers also indicate that the film has successfully recovered its production cost. Maintaining healthy collections over several weeks has helped strengthen its overall theatrical performance and improve its commercial standing.

As the film enters the next phase of its theatrical run, industry attention will remain on how much further it can extend its box office total. For now, the ₹50.09 CR milestone reflects steady audience support and a strong theatrical presence over three weeks, making Pati Patni Aur Woh Do one of the films that has managed to sustain momentum beyond its initial release period.

Kim Kardashian recently spent an evening out with family members following a busy week for her business ventures. The reality television personality, actress and entrepreneur was seen heading to dinner with her mother Kris Jenner and cousin Cici Bussey in Beverly Hills, California.

The company unveiled a new advertising campaign for its Ultimate T Shirt Bra collection. The campaign features model Amelia Gray Hamlin and is part of the brand’s ongoing marketing efforts to promote its latest products.

In addition to the campaign launch, SKIMS also announced plans to expand its retail presence internationally. The company revealed that it will open its first store in China, with the new location set to be established in Hong Kong. The move represents another step in the brand’s global expansion strategy as it continues to enter new markets.

Speaking about the announcement, Kim shared her thoughts on the decision to bring the brand to Hong Kong. She said, “Hong Kong has such an incredible energy, style perspective, and influence on fashion globally. Opening a flagship store in this city allows customers to experience the quality, fit, and innovation behind every SKIMS piece in a more personal way. I’m excited to bring the brand to life in these dynamic fashion capitals.”

SKIMS has grown significantly since its launch and has expanded beyond shapewear into categories including loungewear, activewear and clothing essentials. The brand has also gained attention for its collaborations, marketing campaigns and growing international presence.

While Kim continues to manage her business ventures, she remains active in entertainment, legal advocacy and public appearances. Her recent dinner outing with family offered a brief personal moment during a week that included major developments for her company.

With a new campaign underway and international expansion plans moving forward, SKIMS continues to grow its presence in the global fashion and retail market.
