Time of India3 hours ago

Lauren Gottlieb is officially off the market! The ABCD star just said 'I do' in a picture-perfect wedding in Tuscany on June 11, and let's just say... we are still recovering from the sheer romance of it all. But while her glam mermaid-esque gown stole the visual spotlight, the biggest buzz right now is around one question: Who is Tobias Jones, the man she just married?
Who is Tobias Jones?
Meet Tobias, a London-based video creator and director who has kept a relatively low-key profile despite his creative chops. Tobias may not be dancing on stage like his superstar wife, but he's been working behind the scenes in the content and film world. Quiet, creative, and camera-savvy, Tobias brings a calm balance to Lauren's vibrant on-screen energy.
Their relationship, though under-the-radar for years, was the kind of love story that grows in the quiet, no messy tabloid drama, just travel, laughter, shared passion for creativity, and now… vows in a vineyard.
A bridal look worthy of Vogue
Lauren walked down the aisle in a figure-hugging ivory gown that was pure magic. Off-the-shoulder sleeves, plunging neckline, delicate lace, shimmering sequins, and a train that trailed behind like a fairytale. Paired with dainty silver jewellery, white pumps, and soft glam makeup, she was the definition of ethereal elegance.
Her hair? A chic half-up, half-down style with a dramatic tulle veil that could honestly deserve its own fan page.
Tobias in tux
Tobias showed up looking sharp and swoon-worthy in a classic black tux with a bow tie and corsage. He went full old-school romantic with padded shoulders, crisp tailoring, and the kind of posture that screams, 'This is my forever.' And we are obsessed.
Love, music & fireworks for the wedding
With Lauren's dad walking her down the aisle, a live singer serenading the ceremony, a champagne tower, and Coldplay's A Sky Full of Stars lighting up a firework finale, it was intimate, cinematic, and unapologetically romantic.
From Bollywood dreams to Tuscan vows, Lauren Gottlieb and Tobias Jones just proved that fairytales are still a thing, and this one's got a killer playlist and killer outfits.

The wedding was full of unforgettable moments—from a live performance by Tobias's cousin during Lauren's walk down the aisle, to a champagne tower, and fireworks set to Coldplay's 'A Sky Full of Stars." But it was her emotional father-daughter dance that stood out most. 'We laughed, cried, and exchanged words we'll never forget. He told me I was the best daughter he could've ever dreamed of. I told him I owe him everything." Lauren, best known for her role in ABCD (2013) and her appearances on Indian reality television, ended the day not just with a ring on her finger, but a heart full of love, gratitude, and memories for a lifetime.

Jackson Wang Nails Katrina Kaif's Chikni Chameli Hook Step In Viral Video

Last Updated: K-pop star Jackson Wang grooves to Katrina Kaif's Chikni Chameli during his India visit. Watch the viral video that has fans loving his Bollywood flair! K-pop sensation Jackson Wang is wrapping up his recent India visit with a heart full of memories and a bag full of viral moments. The 31-year-old GOT7 member was in Mumbai as part of the promotions for his much-anticipated album Magic Man 2, which drops on July 18. And while the music world eagerly awaits his next release, Indian fans were treated to a different kind of magic — one that involved Bollywood dance moves and street food. A video that's now winning hearts on Instagram shows Jackson effortlessly grooving to the iconic Chikni Chameli track from the 2012 film Agneepath. Dressed in an all-black outfit, the singer-rapper delivered the hook step with surprising ease. Fans were left wondering — who taught Jackson these moves? 'Our boy knows how to excel at everything," read one caption, perfectly capturing the sentiment. The song, originally performed by Katrina Kaif with Hrithik Roshan also featuring in the film, seems to have inspired Jackson. And it doesn't stop there. During his stay, Jackson met Hrithik Roshan and his family, sparking a hilarious rumour that he was joining the Krrish franchise. He later clarified in an interview with NDTV, 'I was only joking. Hrithik is a good friend. I admire him a lot, but no, I'm not a part of Krrish or any other film at the moment. I was just trolling — and it became headlines the next day!" Beyond Bollywood, Jackson's India diary was packed with celebrity encounters and cultural moments. He met musical legends like Adnan Sami, Salim Merchant, and Pritam, and posed with stars like Sonu Nigam, Tiger Shroff, and Karan Johar. He also got a taste of local cuisine, sharing a picture of him enjoying dahi puri with the caption, 'Bahut bahut dhanyawad. What a wonderful trip. Will definitely be back for Magic Man 2 to perform."

Adnan Sami calls hate over renouncing Pakistani citizenship and embracing Indian identity ‘ex-lover syndrome': ‘When a former partner sees you moving on…'

Although it's been almost a decade since he officially became an Indian citizen, renowned singer-composer Adnan Sami is still frequently reminded that he was born a Pakistani. From subtle taunts to direct personal attacks on social media, he continues to face criticism in various forms. Yet, Adnan has never missed an opportunity to express how proud he is to be an Indian, with his reaction to the Pahalgam terror attack serving as a strong example. In a recent interview, he opened up about the hatred he receives for renouncing his Pakistani citizenship and embracing Indian identity. He likened the criticism to a situation where a person, who is jealous of a former partner moving on and finding happiness, begins to badmouth them. He also dubbed it a form of love 'that manifests in an absurd way'. He shared during a chat with Bollywood Bubble, 'It's like an ex-lover. When an ex-lover sees you moving on and getting involved with somebody else, they'll always come up with reasons to hate you. But the reason why they actually do that is because they still haven't gotten over you. It's love, and love manifests in many absurd ways.' Also Read | Bollywood star who worked with Rishi Kapoor, Shabana Azmi was arrested for trying to enter an ashram, has been missing for 20 years despite Rishi trying to find him Describing the backlash as a classic case of 'sour grapes', Adnan Sami said he, however, understands the mindset of his critics and where their resentment stems from. Nonetheless, he noted that they are unaware of the circumstances that led him to make the decision. For the unversed, Adnan Sami was born in England and previously held both Pakistani and Canadian citizenship. He moved to India in 2001 and was granted citizenship in 2016. 'It is ridiculous for anyone from anywhere to presume that they know what the reasons were behind it. There were solid reasons. At the end of the day, you can argue and say, 'People are migrating all over the world all the time. Why don't they have issues with them?' First of all, because of the geopolitical nature between India and Pakistan, there is a rivalry between the two for whatever reason. But more than that, it is the ex-lover syndrome,' he claimed. Adnan Sami also pointed out that despite being a well-known artiste with numerous hits, the Pakistani government never acknowledged his work or honoured him in any way, thus turning a blind eye to his contributions. 'That's just the tip of the iceberg. However, let me make it very clear, my audience and people over there have always been very loving. And they still are, and I love them very much even today. I'm very grateful to them for all the love that they've given me.' He further maintained that his issues have always been with the Pakistani government, not the people, and particularly with how he was treated by those in power. 'For an artiste, the biggest nourishment is love. So, from whichever corner of the world they get that love, they will be very grateful for it. My music is for everybody. I have not put any boundaries on my music. You want to listen to it? Most welcome. You don't want to? Thanks for trying.'
