Ali Fazal remembers his late mother, says 'Had to say goodbye to...'
Actor Ali Fazal remembered his late mother on her 5th death anniversary with a nostalgic social media post. The 'Fukrey' actor revealed that after his mother's demise, he also had to say goodbye to the younger version of himself. 'There are two people i had to say goodbye to this day 5 years ago- One my mother and the other that little boy me.. ( or as i see Ali today but without a version of Him in recorded past) . And its so funny – that another part comes in swinging from the ends of the universe and gently attaches itself to me now. . I am blessed. Another me? Another you? God knows. Anyway', he wrote.
Ali added that not just this date, he dreads the whole month of June. 'I put this out because i , a mere mortal dreads this day every June.. because it was my loss. Its mine. My me.. so i stop to think and contemplate. – like if i could disect this moment and hit pause for a bit… and then transport to a place inside the head of lets pick any one person in a part of the world ( thats easy we know where) – who on a friday afternoon sits but in utter dread for the whole of June that has weirdly lasted maybe 2 years? 20-200 and boom, this person loses his whole family just like that.. for cinematic effect lets call it 'in a flash'..', he added.
The 'Mirzapur' actor went on to express his pain and how this feeling of loss leads to empathy in the following words, 'i am like a fly on that wall, much like most of us through social media today we have seen it all. .. then in a miraculous way, i switch back to where i hit pause( remember?) – now my feeling of loss is doubled up with an empathy of a universal kind? Or is too much hands on knowledge of loss that should lessen the effect of what is considered Mine? Or am i told 'hey dude, dont take the worlds guilt upon urself '.. naah i dont buy any of it. I should shut up and carry on moving mountains . Am i though? Are you? We both could though.' View this post on Instagram

Govinda's wife Sunita Ahuja drops her husband's surname amid divorce rumours, says, 'I am all over...' Govinda's wife Sunita Ahuja is currently grabbing headlines after she removed her husband's surname from the Instagram handle. She also added an extra 'S' in her name. This happened amidst their divorce rumours, leaving netizens wondering if everything is fine between the couple. Well, Sunita has finally clarified this and shared the real reason that made her drop her husband's surname. In a conversation with ETimes, Sunita revealed, 'I removed Ahuja and added an extra s in my first name. But this change happened almost a year ago,' Stating the reason behind making changes in her name, she said, 'It was done purely for numerology purposes. I want name and fame—who doesn't, right?.' When asked if name changing is turning out to be beneficial for her, the actor's wife said, 'Absolutely! Can't you see how viral I've gone in the last few months? I'm all over the internet!' Further talking about her surname and dismissing divorce rumours, Sunita said, 'I am an Ahuja, and that won't change. The surname will only be dropped when I leave the world. We are a happy family. Until something comes directly from both of us, don't assume anything.' Govinda and Sunita Ahuja have been married for 37 years now. They are parents to son Yashvardhan Ahuja and daughter Narmada Tina Ahuja. Last year, the couple grabbed massive headlines regarding their divorce rumours. Reports claimed that Govinda's growing closeness to a 30-year-old Marathi actress led to their alleged split. However, their lawyer later confirmed that although they had filed for divorce few months back, they had mend issues in their relationship and are now together. 'Like when she said mujhe Govinda jaisa pati nahi chaiye (I don't want Govinda as my husband in next birth), she did add that she wanted a son like him. Or when she said that he was with his own valentine, she meant he was working. It is unfortunate that people are only talking negatively about them when the couple is together, and I can assure that they will always be. No divorce is going to happen.' The lawyer told.

Palak shared that watching her mother perform triggers a mix of awe and anxiety. 'When I see my mom's works, main crisis me chali jaati hu. You see your parents' works and you feel, they are so good at their jobs, main toh gayi. I feel how many years will it take me to reach where she has reached. So I would feel stressed.' Recalling a moment that moved her deeply, Palak said, 'I was scrolling Instagram, and I saw a scene of my mom from Kasautii. In the scene, she was crying, having a mental breakdown and she was my age back then. So I started watching a few scenes online and I started crying thinking my mother is so awesome.' Palak also shared some light-hearted and heartfelt moments about her mother Shweta Tiwari, especially around her widely admired fitness.

The conversation soon turned emotional as Palak spoke about the lineage of strong women in her family. 'My mom being an overachiever takes the pressure off me,' she said, adding, 'My nani was a clerk in a law office—very intelligent.

So I always knew—whatever I do in life, I'll have her backing.'

Kate Cassidy pens emotional note as she misses late boyfriend Liam Payne: 'Knowing I can't come home and see you…'
Singer and former One Direction member, Liam Payne, died on October 16 last year after falling from a hotel balcony in Argentina. Now, nearly eight months after his death, his girlfriend, influencer Kate Cassidy, shared a heartbreaking message in his memory, calling him her "best friend" and someone she still misses deeply. (Also Read | Liam Payne in Building the Band: When and where to watch late singer's final show) Kate took to Instagram on Monday to post several personal pictures of the couple. The photos showed Liam and Kate smiling together, enjoying each other's company. Along with the pictures, Kate wrote a long caption in which she opened up about her pain, mentioning how Liam was someone she thought she had "so much more time and life left to share with." She described how much she misses him and how difficult it is to adjust to life without him. A post shared by Kate Cassidy (@kateecass) "Eight months ago today, I lost my best friend and someone I thought I had so much more time and life left to share with. Liam was the kind of person you'd start missing the moment you walked out the door. Even when leaving the house for a few hours, I'd find myself rushing home to be with him again out of excitement," she wrote in her post. "Now, facing the reality that I live in a constant state of missing you is something I still can't fully wrap my head around. Knowing I can't just come home and see you, hear your voice, or feel your hug--it's a type of pain I can't fully put into words. I can't seem to tell if life is flying by without you or moving so slowly that none of it fully makes sense. But I am trying to live my life as best I can for now and live it for you. I miss you more than words can say. One day, I'll see you again, and I'll have so much to tell you. So much to catch up on. I love you, my angel. 444," she added. The 30-year-old singer fell from a balcony at the CasaSur Palermo hotel after reportedly spending the day consuming whiskey and cocaine. His sudden and tragic death left the music industry and his global fanbase in shock.
