Rakul Preet Singh shares childhood moments with brother on his birthday
Actress Rakul Preet Singh took to social media to celebrate her brother Aman's birthday in the most heartwarming way-by reminiscing about their cherished childhood memories. On Tuesday, the actress shared a glimpse of their bond, taking her followers on a nostalgic journey as she marked this special occasion with her sibling. Rakul posted a heartwarming video showcasing her journey from childhood memories with her brother Aman to the present day. The video beautifully captures the bond they've shared over the years, blending nostalgic moments with their current connection.
Sharing this beautiful clip, the proud sister wrote in the caption, 'Happpppy happpppy bdayyyyy my not so little anymore piece of heart may this year be the best ever and may you get all that u desire.'
Jackky Bhagnani also penned a heartwarming birthday note for his brother-in-law. Sharing their candid photo, he wrote, 'Happy Birthday. You are kind of person who makes life brighter! Grateful for your constant chill, your big heart and jokes! Here's to more laughs, more adventures and all the great times ahead. Big love, big hugs-have the best one, brother!' Rakul's younger brother, Aman Preet Singh, is also an actor.
Meanwhile, the 'De De Pyaar De' actress recently shared her thoughts on the importance of dressing appropriately for every occasion, especially in the public eye. Rakul emphasized the responsibility that comes with being a public figure and how it extends to one's fashion choices.
Speaking on the sidelines of the Lakme Fashion Week, Rakul told IANS, 'Anything you do in the public eye as a public figure, you have to take actions with responsibility, I feel. And in fashion, I always believe in dressing according to the occasion. If you're going to a temple, dress accordingly; if you're going to the gym, wear appropriate clothes; or if you're going out for dinner, you will dress accordingly. For me, I'm someone who believes in dressing for the occasion, dressing right, and enjoying your fashion within that boundary.'
In January of this year, Siddhivinayak Temple in Mumbai introduced a dress code for devotees, prohibiting short skirts and revealing attire. The notice issued by the Shree Siddhivinayak Ganapati Temple Trust (SGTT) stated that devotees are required to wear respectable clothing, with a preference for traditional Indian attire. In a statement, the SSGTT said, 'Devotees wearing trousers with cuts or torn fabric, short skirts, or clothing that exposes body parts will not be permitted inside the temple.' In many temples, especially in South India, dress codes are enforced to uphold the sanctity and respect of the holy space. These guidelines typically call for modest, full-coverage clothing and often encourage the wearing of traditional Indian attire.

What is Ananya Panday day dreaming about while sweating it out in the gym?
Bollywood actress Ananya Panday took to social media to reveal what she's been daydreaming about at the gym. Taking to Instagram, the 'Student of the Year' actress shared a series of photos and captioned it, 'At the gym but day dreaming of other things.' The first image shows Ananya taking a selfie at the gym, where she is seen flaunting her washboard abs. In the next shot, she looks glamorous in an off-shoulder dress. Other images feature plants arranged on a balcony, a building, sweet delicacies, an airplane, a swimming pool, and a stunning, peaceful night view of the sea. Ananya Panday also uses Instagram to share professional updates. On June 2, she announced the release date of her upcoming film, 'Tu Meri Main Tera, Main Tera Tu Meri.' She posted a picture of herself and co-star Kartik Aaryan sharing a kiss behind an Indian passport. The romantic drama 'Tu Meri Main Tera, Main Tera Tu Meri' is slated to hit theatres on Feb.13, 2026. The film reunites Kartik Aaryan and Ananya Panday, who last shared screen space in the 2019 hit 'Pati Patni Aur Woh.' Notably, this project also signifies a fresh beginning for Kartik and Dharma Productions, following their past fallout over 'Dostana 2.' With this film, Karan Johar and Kartik Aaryan appear to have moved past their differences, signaling a renewed professional relationship. Ananya was last seen playing the role of lawyer Dilreet Gill in 'Kesari Chapter 2,' which also featured Akshay Kumar and R. Madhavan. Her portrayal of a lawyer earned appreciation from both critics and audiences, who commended the conviction and nuance she brought to the character. This was the first time Panday appeared in a non-glamorous avatar. Directed by Karan Singh Tyagi and produced by Dharma Productions, the historical drama was adapted from the book 'The Case That Shook The Empire,' which focuses on C. Sankaran Nair and the tragic Jallianwala Bagh massacre of 1919. Meanwhile, Ananya paid a heartfelt tribute to her father, Chunky Panday during the 23rd edition of the Zee Cine Awards. The diva left her dad surprised with a heartfelt performance, which she had been planning with her mother, Bhavana Pandey. During the performance, Ananya was joined by Chunky as they tapped a foot together on his popular track, 'Main Tera Tota' from the 1989 drama 'Paap Ki Duniya'. The father and daughter duo set the stage on fire with their scintillating chemistry. Their wholesome performance even left Bhavana teary-eyed. Talking about her special performance, Ananya said, 'I've grown up watching my dad light up people's lives with his work, and this performance was my way of saying thank you — not just to him as an artist, but as the incredible father who's always been my biggest supporter. Mom and I had been planning this surprise for so long and keeping it, a secret wasn't easy! Every time I rehearsed at home, he'd walk by looking confused, wondering what I was up to. Seeing his reaction tonight made it all worth it.' Indo-Asian News Service

Grebnev reclaims solo leadership with two rounds to go in Dubai chess tourney
Grandmaster (GM) Aleksey Grebnev of Russia once again distanced himself from the field with a hard-fought win against International Master (IM) S. Rohith Krishna of India in Monday night's seventh round of the 25th Dubai Open Chess Tournament at the Dubai Chess and Culture Club. Grebnev captalised on a series of blunders by Krishna in what was otherwise an equal position to dispose of his erstwhile co-leader and take the tournament lead with six points. The 18-year-old Russian is trailed closely by two other teenage grandmasters three years his junior - his compatriot Ivan Zemlyanskii and Sina Movahed of Iran, who both have 5.5 points. Movahed, who turned 15 last week during the tournament's opening day, and Zemlyanskii, two months shy of his 15th birthday in August, scored the biggest scalps of the round after defeating defending champion GM Mahammad Muradli and top-seed GM Nihal Sarin, respectively. Movahed inflicted Muradli's second consecutive loss in the tournament. Muradli was on the backpedal right out of the opening as Movahed sacrificed a pawn to weaken the Azerbaijani's kingside defence. Movahed, however, could not find the precise continuation to convert his advantage until a greedy pawn grab by Muradli on the 39th move allowed the Iranian to launch an overwhelming attack with all his pieces contributing to the onslaught. Muradli resigned three moves later. After being held by two consecutive draws, Nihal, playing the black pieces, once again took big risks to play for a win. The ploy initially worked as he started to create weaknesses around white's kingside, but the Indian failed to find the most accurate way to sustain the offensive, allowing Zemlyanskii to force an exchange of queens that neutralised the attack and left him a pawn up in the endgame. Grebnev will have the black pieces as he tries to protect his lead when he faces Movahed in the next round. In Category B, Fide Master (FM) Mahdi Nikookar of Iran ended his perfect run after a draw with Sri Lanka's Pesandu Rashmitha Liyanage in the seventh round. Nikookar, however, remains the solo leader with 6.5 points, followed by Liyanage and Indian Candidate Master (CM) Alankar Sawai Vandan with six points each. Vandan defeated Armenia's Davit Baghdasaryan. The tournament follows a 9-round Swiss system with a 90-minute time control plus a 30-second increment per move. Games are played every day from 5pm, except the final round on June 4, which starts at 10am. The awarding ceremony is on June 5. The tournament offers a prize pool of $52,000 to be handed out to the winners of both categories. Category A, contested by players with a rating over 2300, has a total prize fund of $39,500 with $12,000 going to the champion, while Category B, open to players rated below 2300, offers $12,500 in total prizes and $2,000 awarded to the champion. Special prizes will also be distributed to top performers among rating categories, unrated, youth, women, and UAE players. Chess fans from around the world can watch the Category A games live on the club's website as well as chess platforms such as and Earlier, International Master (IM) S Rohith Krishna of India defeated defending champion GM Mahammad Muradli to rise to the top of the standings in a tie with Grandmaster (GM) Aleksey Grebnev after Sunday night's sixth round. Grebnev drew with top-seed GM Nihal Sarin on the first board, allowing Krishna to join him for the lead with five points each. Nihal remains in joint second place with 4.5 points, alongside his compatriot GM Bharath Subramaniyam, GM Zemlyanskii, GM Shant Sargsyan, and GM Movahed. Muradli sacrificed a pawn on move six in a delayed Benko Gambit and a few moves later the game reached a position that was previously seen in a game between world number two Hikaru Nakamura and former FIDE world champion Ruslan Ponomariov. Muradli, however, deviated on move 13, a questionable decision that allowed Krishna to gain time to reinforce his central pawns and plant an uncontested knight on the c4-square, the white knight's ideal outpost in the Benko Gambit.
