Smriti Irani accused of using a body double for Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, fans react: ‘Looks so fake…'
As per reports, Smriti Irani is shooting for the show separately and is usually not around on set with others. For her scenes with the entire family, a body double shoots instead. Talking about the same, a viewer wrote on Twitter, 'Glad that everyone is noticing this! For what is she charging 14L for? For shooting separately for like half an episode? It looks like people are talking to the wall, and then she is shown separately despite being in front!'

Another X viewer wrote, 'Why Smriti Irani Mam's Scenes In the Recent Episode Are Too Much Edited With Her Only Single Clips And With Editing In the Background And Also Body Double In Family gathering scenes?' A third viewer user pointed out, 'I don't like Mihir & Tulsi dynamics. I also get ZERO chemistry between them. It's like watching 2 individuals in a marriage but separate. It's early, but don't think this will overtake Anupamaa.'

An X user also wrote, 'Anupamaa ki sasti copy chal rhi. Smriti apni acting bhul ke Anupamaa ko copy krne ke chakkr mein overacting kar rhi, Maa ki acting Rupali Ganguly se achi koi nhi kar skta. Sab log 3 epi mein bore ho gaye. Rajan Shahi ka koi mukabla nhi tv pe.'

Grow a Garden Beanstalk Event: Launch Date, Gameplay details, and full timings for US, UK & global players
Popular online farming simulation title Grow a Garden is set to introduce its much-awaited Grow a Garden Beanstalk Event on August 16, 2025, bringing with it fresh community-focused gameplay, new collectibles and an extensive Garden Guide feature. The week-long event, which concludes on August 23, will challenge players to work together to cultivate a towering virtual beanstalk that reaches the sky, unlocking a special 'Giants' area and rare rewards in the process. Global Launch Timings Announced The event will begin simultaneously across multiple regions, with the developer confirming exact local release times, as revealed by Grow a Garden on X (formerly Twitter): by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Why Seniors Are Snapping Up This TV Box, We Explain! Techno Mag Learn More Undo United States (Eastern Time): 10:00 AM EDT United States (Pacific Time): 7:00 AM PDT United Kingdom: 3:00 PM BST Canada (Toronto): 10:00 AM EDT Canada (Vancouver): 7:00 AM PDT Australia (Sydney): 12:00 AM AEST (Aug 17) New Zealand (Auckland): 2:00 AM NZST (Aug 17) India: 7:30 PM IST Germany (Berlin): 4:00 PM CEST Servers are expected to see heavy traffic at launch, and developers recommend logging in 10–15 minutes in advance to avoid delays. How the Beanstalk Event Works At the heart of the Grow a Garden Beanstalk Event is a collaborative gameplay mechanic. Players will convert fruits collected in-game into fertiliser, which in turn fuels the growth of the Beanstalk. Live Events Once the plant breaches the clouds, participants can climb its trunk and branches to reach the Giants' domain — a new zone where exclusive seeds, rare pets, and unique cosmetic items will be available. Developers have hinted at platforming challenges along the Beanstalk climb, suggesting elements of parkour-style navigation. Debut of the Garden Guide Coinciding with the event is the introduction of the 'Garden Guide,' a comprehensive in-game index that records players' collected seeds, pets, food items and other assets. The guide will also integrate achievement-based unlocks, rewarding collectors and completionists with special items and recognition. This feature is expected to become a permanent part of Grow a Garden beyond the event window. New Content and Gameplay Features In addition to the Beanstalk mechanic and Garden Guide, the August 16 update will introduce: New Seeds and Pets: Fresh plant varieties and companion creatures to collect. Weather Effects: Environmental changes that could influence gameplay. Cosmetic Upgrades: Potential pet packs, decorative fences, and other customisation options, some possibly tied to limited-time sales. The update continues the title's tradition of incorporating weekly content drops, but developers have emphasised that this event will stand out for its scale and community-driven nature. How to Prepare for the Event Veteran players have already begun strategising for maximum rewards. Suggested preparations include: Saving Fruits: More fertiliser means faster Beanstalk growth. Clearing Inventory Space: To accommodate seeds, pets, and event-specific items. Practising Climbing: Parkour-style mechanics may be required to reach higher areas. Stocking Currency: For potential limited-time purchases. Logging in Early: To bypass possible server congestion. Why the Event Matters The Grow a Garden Beanstalk Event is being positioned as one of the game's most ambitious updates to date. Team-Oriented Play: Success will depend on players collectively contributing resources, strengthening the game's community aspect. Collection Management Tools: The Garden Guide addresses long-standing player requests for better tracking and organisation. Exclusive Rewards: Sky-area prizes may include items that remain unavailable after the event, adding urgency for participation. Anticipation Runs High Online forums dedicated to Grow a Garden have been buzzing with speculation about the nature of the Giants' area and the potential surprise rewards. Some players believe new lore elements will be introduced, tying the Beanstalk and Giants into the game's broader narrative. The developers, while remaining tight-lipped about specific storylines, have promised that the climb will be 'worth the effort' for those who participate from day one. With the clock ticking toward the August 16 launch, both casual players and dedicated fans are preparing to send the Beanstalk skyward together. FAQs When does the Grow a Garden Beanstalk Event start and end? The event starts on August 16, 2025, and runs for about one week, ending around August 23, 2025. What rewards can players expect from the Beanstalk Event? Rewards include rare seeds, exclusive pets, cosmetic upgrades, and potentially other surprises available in the Giants' area once the Beanstalk is fully grown.

Lana Del Rey and Ethel Cain feud explained: Are indie music girls fighting over a boy? Diss track and Instagram block fuel drama
While diss tracks are usually a rapper's playground, Lana Del Rey seems to be taking a page out of that playbook — only her target isn't a hip-hop heavyweight but fellow indie darling Ethel Cain. From sly shade to the ultimate social media power move (yes, she actually hit the block button), Lana's moves have left fans both shocked and wildly curious. Why is she beefing with Cain in the first place? And how did this niche indie spat become one of the most unexpectedly entertaining pop culture feuds of the week? Keep scrolling, because the tea here is oddly specific and surprisingly messy. Ethel Cain and Lana Del Rey's 2025 feud explained: From past tensions to recent drama The sudden feud between Ethel Cain and Lana Del Rey has set social media ablaze, igniting one of the rare but fiery clashes in the indie scene, which is known for keeping it peaceful. What started as subtle tension has now spiralled into a full-blown online standoff, complete with direct shade and even an Instagram block. Below, we break down everything you need to know—from the history between Cain and Lana to the turning point that brought their differences into the spotlight and why this unexpected clash has been reignited in 2025. Lana Del Rey shades Ethel Cain with her new song Lana Del Rey caught everyone off guard with her recent Instagram post that quickly set the internet on fire. She uploaded a short snippet of Track 13 from her upcoming album—previously known as The Right Person Will Stay but still untitled for now—and it didn't take long for fans to start dissecting every word. The opening lyrics were enough to send social media into speculation, with many convinced she was taking aim at Ethel Cain. She also tagged Jack Antonoff as her collaborator on the track, and the snippet's lyrics have pretty much left everyone stunned. The opening line goes, 'Ethel Cain hated my Instagram post / Thinks it's cute reenacting my Chicago pose' — a direct callout that had fans instantly pausing and replaying. Are the girls fighting over a boy? Fans are convinced the lyric is a nod to the fact that both Ethel Cain and Lana Del Rey have eerily similar photos with Jack Donoghue — Lana's ex-boyfriend and one-half of the underground music duo Salem. While the imagery has fuelled plenty of side-eye and speculation, there's no actual proof that Cain and Donoghue were ever officially a couple. Lyrics leave little to the imagination In another part of the track—which some Twitter users claim is titled All About Ethel (though that's still unconfirmed)—Lana sings, 'The most famous girl at the Waffle House / I don't regret it / The most famous girl at the Waffle House.' Fans immediately connected the line to Ethel Cain, who was profiled by The New York Times in an article headlined 'The Most Famous Girl at the Waffle House.' The reference hits even harder considering Lana herself pulled a quirky stunt in 2023 by actually working a shift at a Waffle House. Ethel Cain addressed the Lana Del Rey beef on her story What some thought was just a cheeky lyrical jab quickly escalated when Ethel Cain took to her Instagram story, revealing that Lana Del Rey had blocked her. But the drama didn't stop there. Lana later weighed in herself, responding to news outlets covering the feud. In a comment, she wrote, 'I didn't know who Ethel was until a few years ago — when someone brought to my attention the disturbing and graphic side-by-side images she would often put up of me next to unflattering creatures and cartoon characters, making constant comments about my weight. I was confused at what she was getting at. Then when I heard what she was saying behind closed doors from mutual friends and started inserting herself into my personal life, I was definitely disturbed.' Ethel Cain is having a sad girl summer In July 2025, old social media posts from Ethel Cain's late teens resurfaced, showing her using racist language, making offensive jokes, and wearing provocative clothing, sparking widespread backlash. The controversy deepened with criticism over past album imagery resembling a real missing child poster. On July 9, Cain issued a 2,000-word statement admitting the posts were hers, apologising 'from the bottom of my heart,' and explaining they came from a time when she was intentionally provocative online while dealing with personal trauma. She denied serious allegations like creating child pornography or promoting abuse and claimed the resurfacing was part of a coordinated, transphobic smear campaign that included hacking and doxxing. Coming back to her Lana feud, it was a rare, direct statement from the Margaret singer, and one that made it clear this wasn't just about a couple of shady lines in a song. Will Cain respond with another diss track? We'll have to wait, but this is definitely shaping up to be one of the most famous feuds in the indie music scene in recent times.
