Aishwarya Rai has been confirmed safe following a minor car incident in Mumbai that stirred concern among her fans.
A video circulating online suggested that her vehicle was struck by a local bus, prompting widespread speculation about her wellbeing.
Reports indicate that the incident occurred on March 26, near Amitabh Bachchan's bungalow on Juhu Tara Road. A paparazzo shared footage showing a bus colliding with Aishwarya's car, which quickly went viral. Observers gathered at the scene, raising alarms about the safety of the actress.
However, sources close to Aishwarya have confirmed that she was not in the vehicle at the time of the collision. "People close to the actor have confirmed that she is absolutely fine and there was no 'accident,'" a source stated, allaying fears among her fans.
The footage revealed a small crowd inspecting the damage, but reports clarify that no serious harm was done to either vehicle.

Despite rampant speculation, the couple has been spotted together at several events, including a recent wedding and their daughter Aaradhya's school event, effectively quelling rumours of a rift.
On the professional front, Aishwarya was last seen in Mani Ratnam's "Ponniyin Selvan II," released in 2023, where she reprised her role as Nandini. While she has taken a step back from mainstream cinema, she continues to make public appearances at significant Bollywood and international events, including the prestigious Cannes Film Festival.

A24 has released the full trailer for Eddington, a new film by Ari Aster, best known for Hereditary and Midsommar. Slated for release on July 18, the film is set during the tumultuous summer of 2020, amid the COVID-19 pandemic and the politically charged atmosphere following the murder of George Floyd. The movie follows a standoff between a small-town sheriff (Joaquin Phoenix) and the town's mayor (Pedro Pascal), with tensions escalating in the wake of a contentious mayoral race. The trailer reveals a blend of social distancing, protests, and conspiracy theories, along with explosive action scenes, gunfights, and a mysterious corporate plane looming over the desert. Eddington draws inspiration from contemporary America's struggles, offering a satirical look at the complex and volatile period, and features a strong ensemble cast including Austin Butler, Emma Stone, Luke Grimes, and Deirdre O'Connell. The film premiered at the Cannes Film Festival, where it received a nearly seven-minute standing ovation. Critics have praised Aster for his willingness to tackle the challenges of modern-day America, calling the film a provocative reflection on recent history. Despite its divisive reception, the film continues to draw attention for its bold exploration of social and political issues. Eddington is Aster's fourth feature, following Beau Is Afraid (2023). The film is produced by A24, with Aster and Lars Knudsen serving as producers under their Square Peg Banner. The film hits theaters on July 18.

Pakistan People's Party Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari called Indian Prime Minister the 'Temu version' of his Israeli counterpart Benjamin Netanyahu, and the internet is flooded with memes, praising Bilawal's wit and his ability to represent Pakistan at the biggest of forums. Speaking at a press conference at the United Nations Headquarters in New York on Tuesday, Bilawal said, 'Mr Modi is sort of the Temu version of Netanyahu, so it's a poor copy, and we call the Indian government to not be inspired by the worst example possible.' During a press conference at the United Nations headquarters on June 3, Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari criticised Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, calling him a "Temu version of Netanyahu" and a "poor copy" of the Israeli leader.

'Marry your best friend'
In a world of swipe-right love and viral divorces, leave it to the ever-wise and ever-real Nadia Jamil to remind us what enduring romance actually looks like. On Friday, the actor, activist, and all-around icon dropped a heartfelt post on X (formerly Twitter) that read like a Bollywood screenplay, but with more soul, fewer dance numbers, and a whole lot of wisdom. "We were 14 and 15," she began, immediately pulling readers into a teenage love story that almost didn't survive family disapproval, long-distance years, and even a global pandemic. She paints the early contrast: she, an "emotional romantic artist" from a liberal home; he, a "stoic finance whizz kid" from a conservative background. All parents were against it. But love had other plans. Nadia waited to marry her husband for fifteen years, longer than most celebrity marriages. When the two finally tied the knot, their wedding marked the start of a relationship built on resilience, shared experiences, and gradual growth. "The marriage in itself is such a story," she wrote. "It's had its ups and its downs. We are both very strong personalities, but we both held on." Nadia, in her trademark mix of honesty and grace, doesn't shy away from the hard bits. She talks about the distance that crept in when she moved to Cambridge with the kids and he stayed in Lahore to care for family. She shares how their bond was tested by cancer, grief, financial loss, and parenting across continents. But also how those very battles made them grow together. According to Nadia, the secret is not just love but respect; it's knowing when to hold space for each other. It's flexibility, emotional growth, and the quiet power of honouring your partner's evolution. And yes, there's a happy ending (and a new beginning): their eldest son is now all set to get married, and Nadia is officially a mother-in-law now, to a "fantastic young woman," she beamed. As she coaches other couples now, Nadia sees echoes of her own story in theirs. And her biggest piece of advice is to marry your best friend, the one who grows with you, the one who learns with you, the one who stays, especially when things get hard.
