When Alia Bhatt was asked about her 'dark side' and her innocent reply still lives rent-free in our heads
Alia Bhatt is one of the most talented and vivacious actresses in Bollywood. While it's always a treat to watch her in the films, she effortlessly holds your attention even with her interviews. This reminds us of Alia's old interview where she was asked about her "dark side" and her innocent reply still lives rent-free in our heads.
During an interview with Filmfare, the actress opened up about her family WhatsApp group named The Bhatt Camp and how everybody shares quotes in it regularly. When asked about her dark side, she said everybody has it. But it was the quote that followed that made us her fan all over again. "If there's no darkness, how you gonna appreciate the light," she said.
The host was stunned by her reply and said that it was a quote by Mahesh Bhatt. However, Alia Bhatt denied that and shared in her usual innocent and endearing style that it was her only contribution to the "Bhatt Camp" WhatsApp group. She also went on to share how she searched for the quote on Google to later share it with her family.
Meanwhile, Alia created global buzz recently with her debut appearance at Cannes Film Festival. From fans to fashion critics, everybody admired her looks. Earlier today i.e. May 28, the actress took to Instagram and shared glimpses from her Cannes visit. In the caption, she also hinted that she will be continuing to attend the prestigious film festival next year. "cannes-dids okay bye, see you next year," wrote the actress.
On the work front, Alia is currently busy shooting for her upcoming action film Alpha. Also starring Sharvari and Bobby Deol, it's the 7th YRF Spy Universe movie after Ek Tha Tiger, Tiger Zinda Hai, War, Pathaan, Tiger 3, and War 2.

Janhvi Kapoor likes a reel shading Madhuri Dixit's ‘vulgar' steps in Dhak Dhak; trolls joke ‘Algorithm ki galti hai'
Unintentional 'likes' on Instagram posts have been getting celebrities into trouble on social media this month. The first victim was cricketer Virat Kohli, whose official Instagram handle unknowingly 'liked' actor Avneet Kaur's picture shared by a fan page, on his wife Anushka Sharma's birthday. Virat later shared clarification that this action was not intentional. Interestingly, Avneet has been attending several matches and was rumoured to be dating Virat's fellow cricketer Shubman Gill. The next was Tamannaah Bhatia, who also blamed Instagram for unintentionally 'liking' a fan-made video of Deepika Padukone amid latter's controversy with Sandeep Reddy Vanga over his next film Spirit. Well, fans think the latest victim of the algorithm pandemic is Janhvi Kapoor, whose 'like' on a fan-made reel has left netizens in shock. A post shared by Janhvi Kapoor (@janhvikapoor) Unlike Virat Kohli and Tamannaah Bhatia, Janhvi Kapoor has not yet shared an official statement about 'liking' the video. But because of the content of this post, and Sridevi's rumoured rivalry with Madhuri, netizens are convinced that the actor will follow in Virat and Tamannaah's footsteps soon. What's so crazy about this clip? Well, it begins with a shot of Madhuri Dixit dancing to her iconic track Dhak Dhak Karne Laga from the 1992 film Beta. Over this clip are the words: 'Did vulgar step song and did nothing in the movie and won Filmfare Best Actress award.' Under this video is a clip of Janhvi's late mother Sridevi from the film Khuda Gawah, which released the same year. Here the caption reads, 'Did double role with landmark acting that carried whole movie on her shoulder still Filmfare ignored her for Best Actress.' When eagle eyed netizens pointed out that Janhvi Kapoor has 'liked' this Instagram reel, the internet obviously erupted. For instance, one social media user claimed, 'Guys!!! Algorithm ki galti hai dont blame JK 😡,' whereas another comment read, 'Loving this era of Kaleshi Bollywood. Acchi films nahi toh kalesh hi sahi 🤣.' A netizen shared, 'Another victim of the algorithm Instagram comes with a vaccine soon,' whereas another predicted, 'Wait for her to join Kohli - Tamanna gang of accidental like post.' Meanwhile, some trolled JK. One such angry Madhuri fan stated, 'WTF jahnvi How about her entire role in and her song Devara? What about that?,' whereas another harsh comment read, 'Irony of janhvi liking a reel shading doing thirst trap songs.' A post shared by Old Bollywood (@magical_cinema1990) But some fans did come out in Janhvi's defence, giving her the benefit of doubt. One such comment read, 'Ye bhi toh ho sakta hai, she saw her mom's pic, missed her and liked it? Like you get lost in the moment sometimes with all the focus on the picture of your deceased parent and nothing else? I think we can cut her some leash on this atleast.' As a member of the audience, who did you think was the star of 1992 — Madhuri Dixit in Beta or Sridevi in Khuda Gawah?

"This Is Egg-cellent": Foodies Can't Stop Drooling Over This Tokyo-Special Cheese Omelette
Boiled, fried, scrambled or cooked in a flavourful curry, eggs can be relished in a variety of ways. That's not all - they're packed with protein, making them an integral part of our diet. For an extra dose of creativity, eggs can be prepared with herbs or cheese. But what if you were served an omelette so fluffy and gooey that it instantly melted in your mouth? We're not kidding! There's one particular restaurant in Tokyo that has mastered the art of crafting the perfect omelette on a teppan. FYI: Teppans are flat, metal griddles used in the Japanese cooking style called teppanyaki. A food vlogger (space_tamnik) posted a video of this unique omelette preparation on Instagram. The restaurant in question is By The Way, located in Meguro City. The video shows the chef pouring beaten and seasoned egg yolks onto the teppan with skilled precision. Next, a small cut-out portion of a cheese slice is added on top of the smeared yolks. With a spatula, the chef spreads the mixture on the griddle uniformly. After that, the chef folds the sides with a grill spatula. You can see bubbles rising from the middle and the fluffiness taking shape. Once it takes the shape of an omelette, the cook adds shredded cheese to another pan and pours oil. The cheese is then flattened until thick and starchy before being spread evenly on top of the omelette.
