Amit's post featured pictures and videos of Alia getting ready before her red carpet debut, which had a close-up look at her hair. He also posted a clip of Alia walking the Festival de Cannes red carpet. The hairdo in question is a centre-parted, pulled-back look styled with loads of gel to create a twisted bun. A few strands styled in soft twirls in the front rounded off the look.
Alia wore a custom Schiaparelli long off-the-shoulder bustier gown in ecru Chantilly lace embroidered with organza and enamel flowers and with ruffles in ivory mousseline, crepeline, organza and tulle at the bottom. The dress has a sweetheart neckline, a corseted bodice, a layered skirt, a long train, and ties at the back to cinch the ensemble.
Alia wore the gown with pearl and diamond earrings and cocktail rings. Meanwhile, for makeup, she chose her signature minimal makeup look, including feathered brows, glittering pink eye shadow, flushed cheeks, glowing highlighter, glossy pink lips, winged eyeliner and mascara-adorned lashes.

Shilpa Shetty shares what keeps her motivated on her last working day before vacation
Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty Kundra took to social media to show what keeps her going, even on the busiest of days. As Shetty wrapped up her last working day before heading off on vacation, the actress shared a dose of motivation with her followers. Taking to Instagram, the 'Dhadkan' actress posted a fun reel of herself wherein she is seen expressing her excitement through dance and goofy expressions. The hilarious clip begins with Shilpa dressed in a nightsuit, then cuts to her in sporty athleisure, working out in the washroom in a playful, funny style. Sharing this funny reel, the 'Hungama 2' actress captioned it, 'My motivation on the last day of before I leave for my holiday. #HolidayMotivation #VacationMood #VacayMode #MorningMotivation #HypeGirl #Fun #Crazy.' Shilpa Shetty is very active on Instagram, often sharing glimpses of her fitness routine — from intense workout sessions and yoga flows to her light-hearted 'Sunday Binge' moments. Notably, the actress also frequently gives shout-outs to her husband Raj Kundra and recently penned a heartfelt note appreciating him for his work on the project 'The Traitors.' Sharing his posters from Amazon Prime Video India's latest venture, Shilpa wrote, 'Woohoo... can't wait to watch this one!!! All the best, my Cookie @onlyrajkundra#TheTraitorsOnPrime @primevideoin.' 'The Traitors,' India's adaptation of the widely acclaimed psychological reality format, was officially launched on May 30 in a grand event, with filmmaker Karan Johar confirmed as its host. Raj Kundra grabbed the attention at the trailer launch with his transformation. When questioned about his strategy, Kundra cleverly referenced his past, saying, 'Whenever I've worn a mask, people have wondered what I'm hiding. That mystery could work in my favour here.' He also humorously added, 'Since Karan Johar is hosting, I'm definitely playing my 'nepo husband' card!' Set against the majestic Suryagarh Palace in Rajasthan, 'The Traitors' also stars Anshula Kapoor, Karan Kundrra, Ashish Vidyarthi, Jannat Zubair, Apoorva, Harsh Gujral, Elnaaz Norouzi, Raftaar, Uorfi Javed, Lakshmi Manchu, Mukesh Chhabra, and several others.

Why Kandukondain Kandukondain remains a classic
Character sketch Rai's Meenakshi echoes Marianne's emotional spirit, while Tabu's Soumya reflects Elinor's sensibility — but with a uniquely Indian layer: the internalised burden of always having to please others. Social media critic Rino, who writes for carpe_diem_movies on Instagram, notes, 'Soumya is a poignant portrayal of a person suffering from a people-pleasing attitude, burdened by the label of being 'unlucky'. She silently endures its impact. She is overcompensating for the stigma of being unlucky.' Her growth — standing by Manohar (Ajith) while suppressing her own dreams, dealing with society's judgement — ends not just in love but in finding herself. Rino says, 'After a moment of intense doubt, she finally surrenders her self-doubt. It's a moment of profound self-realisation, signalling her growth as a person.' Instead of accepting her sister's 'fate', Rai's Meenakshi directly questions it, notes Meenakshi Girish. 'Why blame the woman? Why not consider that the guy was unstable or problematic? That kind of internal questioning within the film makes it feel intelligent and self-aware. The sisters don't just contrast — they complement each other,' she adds. The film also updated Austen's idea of marriage as a woman's primary goal. Dr Meenakshi explains, 'In Austen's world, marriage was an important way in which a woman found herself. In the modern world, especially in tradition-bound south India, carving an independent identity takes precedence over mere romantic interests. The ultimate fruition of romantic relationships take on strength and adds meaning from the assertion of newfound identities.' Soumya finds her voice before finding love. Her sister fiercely pursues her music career. Their romantic relationships feel earned, growing out of their personal journeys rather than defining them.
