Whether you're celebrating with an intimate pooja or a full-blown family gathering, here are five Rakhi-perfect ethnic outfit ideas inspired by Radhika's most talked-about appearances.

Nothing says celebration quite like a sequin saree and Radhika's champagne gold ombré drape by Manish Malhotra is a showstopper. This look is ideal for evening festivities. Pair your version with a bold choker, matching jhumkas, a sleek bun wrapped in gajra, and radiant glam for that golden glow.

Channel quiet luxury with a blush pink chiffon saree teamed with an intricately embellished blouse, just like Radhika did. The soft palette, vintage vibe, and playful tassels make it a perfect day-to-night option. Finish with a sleek ponytail or soft curls, delicate jewellery, and rosy makeup.

For a Rakhi look that feels bold and contemporary, take notes from Radhika's corset-style saree. Her strapless bustier blouse and silver-toned drape create a sculpted silhouette that's both striking and celebratory. Complete your look with soft waves, kohl-rimmed eyes, and diamond accents.

Not every Rakhi celebration needs sparkle. For a relaxed gathering or daytime puja, Radhika's butter-yellow embroidered cotton suit offers timeless grace. Style it with soft makeup, loose hair, and minimal jewellery for a simple, sunny look.
No matter your style, let Radhika's wardrobe remind you that Rakhi fashion can be both graceful and personal — whether you lean into old-school glamour or quiet elegance.

Country singer Ella Langley cancels concerts with Morgan Wallen, here is why
Washington DC [US], August 13 (ANI): Singer-songwriter Ella Langley, who has been opening for Morgan Wallen on his I'm the Problem Tour, announced she was "sad" to be canceling the rest of her August performances to focus on her health, reported E! News. "The past several weeks have been tough," Ella wrote in a statement shared to Instagram, adding, "I've been fighting sickness and feeling more run down than ever. After a lot of thought, I've made the hard decision to take a couple of weeks to rest and focus on my health--mind, body, and heart." She added, "I want to be fully present for all the moments ahead, and I know I can't do that without first taking care of myself." The singer further informed her fans that she is "ready to give you my all" when she returns to the stage in September. "Sometimes we have to listen when our bodies and hearts are telling us to slow down," Ella continued. "I'm so grateful for your understanding and your love--it truly means the world to me," reported E! News. It wasn't the first time the musician--who is nominated for the 2025 MTV Video Music Award for Best New Artist alongside Alex Warren, Lola Young, The Marias, Gigi Perez and Sombr--has been vulnerable with her audiences. In fact, she celebrated with her fans and her co-writer Joybeth Taylor last month when her song "Weren't for the Wind" hit No. 1 on country radio, reported E! News. "Theres no telling how many hours me and @joybethtaylor have put into having this moment together," Ella wrote in a July 6 Instagram post. "Since that day on my back porch (the day we wrote our first song) we've dreamt about getting a #1 together. Sure, there have been many days that it seemed pretty much impossible, but we always believed." She added, "Sitting a on plane flying back to Nashville with tears rolling out of my eyes thinking about how much we've talked about this moment and what it means to actually have it together. We did it," reported E! News. (ANI)

Viral: Woman Shares Hack To Keep Dal Warm While Eating, Internet Is Not Impressed
Food is the universal language that brings people together. However, some dishes are best enjoyed only when they are adequately warm. Whether it's a steaming hot bowl of soup or a perfectly grilled steak, the joy of eating is often ruined when our food gets cold during the eating process. A woman recently shared her hack for keeping dal warm while eating, but it got a lukewarm reception from foodies. In a video shared on Instagram, the woman was seen eating dal and chawal. After eating a spoonful of dal, she realises that it has gotten cold. Instead of warming it up on the stove or microwave, she removes the gas burner stand and brings it to the table. The woman sets up a tealight candle and places the burner over it. As the gentle flame warms up her dal, she can savour every spoonful without making several rounds of the kitchen. The side note read, "Best trick to keep your food hot while eating."
