Worship Khanna: The industry will surely change in the next five years
Be it the length of shows, genres, or people's current favourites, everything is destined to change every year, says actor Worship Khanna. The actor, who has been part of shows such as
Kumkum Bhagya
, Meri Doli Mere Angana, Ishq Subhan Allah and web series like Hello Jee, Cold Lassi and Chicken Masala and currently seen in the show Pati Brahmachari, adds that such changes need to be accepted well, and projects need to be planned accordingly.
'The industry will surely change in the next five years, because the industry we had five years ago is not the same as today, and what we see today won't remain the same tomorrow. For example, during COVID, web series suddenly became very popular, and people started watching content on YouTube and OTT platforms. Now, people have shifted to shorter formats today, people prefer watching vertical videos. People don't have as much time as before.
They don't want to watch long daily shows or big films now they want 3-4 minute content on their phones, and they want to skip to the next video quickly. I don't think this is a good thing because with this fast change, cinema's creativity is dying, and the way we tell stories is changing. But I think we have to accept this because life is becoming faster, and technology is advancing so quickly,' he says.
Ask him what are the changes he is looking forward to, and he says, 'I believe the real changes are the ones that come naturally with time, like how people moved from daily soaps to web series, and now from web series to vertical content, Instagram shorts, and reels.

These are the kinds of changes that happen, and I think they should keep happening. At the end of the day, we call it the entertainment industry. It exists to entertain people.
So, whatever entertains the audience, we should keep doing that.'
Talking about the changes he would want to make to his work pattern, he says, 'I would like to explore YouTube now, especially vertical content. In fact, I have already started trying my hand at it. Whatever good opportunities come my way in the entertainment industry, I will definitely continue acting because apart from that, honestly, I don't think I have any other major talent. But yes, I might also try dancing if I get the right opportunities.
I'm definitely open to exploring more new things.'

Did Hailee Steinfeld get plastic surgery before marrying Josh Allen? Red carpet appearances raises eyebrows
Speculation surrounds Hailee Steinfeld's evolving appearance, with fans suggesting possible plastic surgery (Image via Beau Society) Hailee Steinfeld has grown up under the glare of the spotlight since her breakout Oscar-nominated role in True Grit at just 13 years old. Now 28, the actress-singer is once again the subject of intense speculation, with fans pointing to recent red carpet appearances and wondering if she's gone under the knife. But is the buzz around her changing face really about plastic surgery, or is it just the natural evolution of growing up in Hollywood? Did Hailee Steinfeld really get plastic surgery? Hailee Steinfeld's evolving appearance has sparked everything from nose job allegations to lip filler theories. At the 2021 Met Gala, and more recently at the Sinners movie premiere in April 2025, fans on social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter) said she looked almost 'unrecognizable,' pointing to a seemingly smaller nose and fuller lips. Comments ranged from 'Hailee's face looks way different, maybe surgery' to 'It's just makeup! She's still pretty. ' But so far, Steinfeld has stayed silent. In a 2021 People interview, she remarked that fame hasn't changed her personally — just her schedule: 'I missed a lot of high school things, but I love red carpet moments.' In Cosmopolitan, she focused more on her mindset than her image, saying she's learned to own what she wants in life. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Free P2,000 GCash eGift UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo What fans think may have changed — and what experts say Fans have zeroed in on a few features. Some claim she's had a nose job, citing a sharper, narrower nose tip compared to earlier photos. Others believe she's gotten lip fillers due to the increased volume in her upper lip — especially when viewed at certain angles. Even her bright smile has led to talk of veneers or braces, as her teeth appear straighter and whiter than before. There are also bolder accusations — from cheek fillers to a breast augmentation — though none are substantiated. A lone Reddit user even floated the idea of a brow lift, but again, it's all speculation with no confirmation. While plastic surgery is possible, others argue it's simply the result of aging, high-end makeup techniques, and improved skincare. As one fan pointed out: 'She looked normal on Hot Ones, it's probably the blush.' With a mixed ethnic background that includes Filipino, Jewish, German, and African-American roots, Hailee's facial features can look different in changing lights and makeup styles. Also Read: Hailee Steinfeld's marriage to Josh Allen raises eyebrows over NFL brain damage risks Whether or not she's had work done, Hailee Steinfeld continues to stay focused on her career — from starring in Sinners to voicing Gwen Stacy in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. Her silence on the rumors might be a sign that she's more interested in letting her work speak than answering to beauty speculation. And perhaps, that's the most powerful move of all.

Travis Kelce drops pounds, and George Kittle can't help but notice his offseason commitment
George Kittle's honest take on Travis Kelce's weight loss (USA TODAY NETWORK) After enduring a tough Super Bowl loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, Travis Kelce isn't shying away from the fact that 2024 wasn't his best. The Kansas City Chiefs' veteran tight end, who briefly flirted with the idea of retirement, ultimately chose to return—motivated by more than just another shot at glory. Determined to bounce back stronger, Kelce has committed himself to growth both as a player and as a leader. George Kittle gets real about Travis Kelce's new shape Travis Kelce's numbers last season reflected a noticeable dip. With just 823 receiving yards and three touchdowns, it marked his lowest output since his rookie year—a time when he was barely involved in the offense. Even in the playoffs, the usually dominant tight end managed only 58 yards combined in the AFC Championship and Super Bowl, though he did snag two touchdowns. By Kelce's standards, that performance wasn't enough. Determined to regain his edge, Kelce took a different approach this offseason—shedding some weight in an effort to enhance his agility and longevity. While reports claimed he dropped as much as 25 pounds, Kelce clarified that the number wasn't quite that dramatic, though he did admit he's lighter than he was last season. His leaner look hasn't gone unnoticed. San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle, who co-hosts Tight End University alongside Kelce, addressed the chatter with high praise. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like These Are The Most Beautiful Women In The World Undo 'I'm pretty sure one of the Super Bowls they won, I saw him the previous offseason and he was like 280 pounds,' Kittle said on ESPN. 'I think he was first-team All-Pro and won a Super Bowl, so he's going to be ready for the season regardless of what it is. He does look great right now.' Despite his 'down year,' Kelce still led the Chiefs in receiving yards and remained a vital piece of the puzzle that brought them back to another Super Bowl. It's this kind of consistency that defines his legacy. With seven consecutive 1,000-yard seasons and five Super Bowl appearances under his belt, Kelce has already cemented his place as one of the NFL 's all-time greats. Whether or not the slimmer frame translates into peak performance again, one thing's certain—Travis Kelce isn't done yet. He's reloading, not retreating. And that could spell trouble for defenses in 2025.
