A Natural Look That Surprised Everyone
The Queen of Extensions
In a world where perfection is often curated strand by strand, Kim Kardashian 's hair has become its own cultural phenomenon. From cascading, four-foot-long extensions that nearly touch her knees to platinum transformations and sculpted buns, the reality TV star turned business mogul has worn every look imaginable — often amplified to impossible extremes. But in the rare moments when the wigs come off and the extensions are shelved, we catch a glimpse of something even more powerful: authenticity.Recently, Kardashian offered fans a look at her natural hair, and the response was nothing short of stunned admiration. In February 2025, she unveiled a freshly chopped bob courtesy of celebrity hairstylist Chris Appleton. 'Love this new chop on Kim, we got 7 inches off her hair! (No it's not a wig before u start lol),' Appleton wrote on Instagram. The post included a photo of the trimmed strands arranged into a heart shape on the floor, a playful yet symbolic farewell to her signature length.While the bob debuted on the red carpet at the Fourth Annual Fifteen Percent Pledge Gala, it was her slicked-back Instagram selfie days later that truly captured the internet's attention. The usually voluminous, meticulously styled hair was replaced by a more pared-down, real-world look — understated, elegant, and surprisingly relatable. This wasn't the first time Kardashian stripped away the hair enhancements. A since-deleted TikTok from 2013 resurfaced showing her with shoulder-length, wispy blond hair alongside daughter North, lip-syncing to 'Baby, It's Cold Outside.' Though fleeting, the moment marked one of the few instances fans got a peek behind the glam curtain.Her natural hair appears considerably thinner and less styled than the polished looks we're used to — and that's precisely what makes it so compelling. It's an invitation to connect with the person beneath the persona, reminding fans that even the most image-conscious stars have their off-duty moments.That said, Kim's journey through the world of hair extensions is equally revealing. She's never denied her love for extensions and wigs. In fact, she's embraced them as tools of transformation. For the 2024 Vanity Fair Oscars party, she sported tape-in extensions by Great Lengths, a brand also loved by Demi Lovato. Before that, her go-to was Priscilla Valles' Keratin Bond extensions in collaboration with Glam Seamless. In a gushing 2021 Instagram story, she exclaimed, 'I'm obsessed... I don't know how I'll ever go back.'Yet go back she did — if only for a moment. Whether wrapped in Glam Seamless wefts or letting her natural strands breathe, Kardashian continues to show that hair, for her, is more than a style statement — it's a form of self-expression, and sometimes even reinvention.

Flashback Fun: When Kajol asked fans, 'Married or ditched more?' in this throwback post

Kajol brought back the charm of the late '90s with a delightful throwback post from 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai', a film that continues to hold a special place in the hearts of Bollywood lovers. Earlier this year in January, she took to Instagram and posted a still from the song Saajanji Ghar Aaye, dressed as the bride Anjali. But it wasn't just the photo that caught attention—it was her playful caption that sparked curiosity. 'Is it bridal season still? Hey I got married on screen quite a few times and ditched as well! Which did I do more of??' she wrote, leaving fans to debate whether her characters tied the knot more often or left their love interests hanging. Reliving Anjali's journey In 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai', Kajol played Anjali—first as the tomboyish best friend, then as the graceful bride-to-be. The film took a dramatic turn after the interval, where Anjali transforms not just in appearance but in her emotions. Caught between two men—Rahul, her college best friend played by Shah Rukh Khan , and Aman, her fiancé played by Salman Khan—Anjali eventually chooses to follow her heart. In the now-iconic climax, she ends up ditching Aman at the altar and reuniting with Rahul, much to the delight of fans. The photo Kajol posted comes from that very wedding sequence, making her cheeky caption all the more relevant. Looking Back on 25 Years of KKHH Marking 25 years of 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai', Kajol reflected on the film's enduring legacy with warmth. 'Stepping back into Anjali's shoes after 25 years ( couldn't find the basketball though). So many memories and love attached to this film.. So glad that everyone loves it as much as I do,' she wrote. What's next for Kajol? On the work front, Kajol is gearing up for her next project—'Sarzameen', an action thriller slated for release on July 25.

AR Rahman joins forces with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman for his AI project Secret Mountain, a musical metaverse

Two-time Oscar-winning music composer AR Rahman recently shared a photo with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, teasing their collaboration for the singer's AI-powered project. Rahman met Altman at his office, where the two discussed and explored ways to empower Indian creators while also tackling the generational challenges using artificial intelligence. In his post shared Friday on Instagram, Rahman tagged Altman and revealed they were brainstorming on 'Secret Mountain,' his upcoming virtual global band project that aims to fuse sound and code into something game-changing. 'It was a pleasure meet @sama at his office …we discussed 'Secret Mountain', our virtual global band, and to empower and uplift Indian minds to use AI tools to address generational challenges and lead the way forward,' Rahman wrote on social media alongside the picture of two smiling for the camera. A post shared by ARR (@arrahman) What is AR Rahman's Secret Mountain project? Back on February 14, 2024, AR Rahman posted a nearly five-minute video on YouTube, titled 'Introducing the Secret Mountain.' Fans were confused with the sudden update, but it turned out to be a tease for what Rahman was planning. The video started with, 'Hey I'm Luna, let me tell you a story. Like most of us, I have been wandering the jungle instead of gratification, dooms of scrolling.' The video teased the introduction of innovation through enhanced storytelling set in a mystical metaverse world. It tells the story of Luna, a young woman who is transported to the world of Secret Mountain, where she meets different musical characters from various cultural backgrounds, each with a different style.

Watch Rahman often relies on wisdom rather than leaning on 'muscle memory,' and is known for making music without direct reference to film scenes. This is where he gets his inspiration from to come up with his new project. 'I consciously avoid repetition,' Rahman explained on his website. 'AI can be a starting point,' he noted, adding, 'but the human element, the emotional depth and creativity, remains irreplaceable.' Through this project, he will bring singers and mentors from around the world onto one platform, including Ireland, China, Africa, and India, to show how music can surpass geographical boundaries. The project is called 'Meta Band' and aims to provide an immersive experience.
