Virat Kohli, Anushka Sharma in London, witness Novak Djokovic's brilliance at Wimbledon: ‘Business as usual for…'
Virat Kohli is in London; hence, it is no surprise that he decided to attend Wimbledon 2025. The star Indian batter, who announced his retirement from Tests earlier this year, was in attendance for the Men's Round of 16 match between Novak Djokovic and Australia's Alex de Minaur. Last year's Wimbledon finalist, Djokovic, did not disappoint as he registered a win despite losing the first round 1-6. Virat Kohli is in London; hence, it is no surprise that he decided to attend Wimbledon 2025.(AFP ) The world expected Virat Kohli to make the trip to the UK for the five-match series between India and England. However, he stunned the world by announcing his retirement from the longest format just days before the squad announcement. Kohli, who won his maiden Indian Premier League (IPL) title in June 2025 with Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), travelled to London after the tournament to spend time with his family. Virat Kohli's Instagram posts are rare, but we are glad that he has started posting about his whereabouts. On Saturday, he had posted a story for India Test captain Shubman Gill, who became the toast of the town, owing to his 430-run haul in the Edgbaston Test against England. Just two days later, the most successful India Test captain was at the Centre Court, watching the action unfold between Djokovic and de Minaur. Kohli saw the match alongside wife Anushka Sharma as the duo were spotted in the stands, looking their best in formals. "What a match. It was business as usual for the gladiator. @djokernole," Kohli wrote on Instagram Stories.

For the first time in his career, Djokovic lost the first set at Wimbledon by a margin of 6-1. The Round of 16 match was also attended by Joe Root, Roger Federer and James Anderson. Kohli congratulates Team India After India's emphatic 336-run win against England at Edgbaston, Virat Kohli took to X (formerly Twitter) to congratulate the team on a fantastic achievement. Also Read: Virat Kohli erupts after Shubman Gill's 'fearless' India create history, gives two players 'special mention' He wrote, 'Great victory for India at Edgbaston. Fearless and kept pushing England to the wall. Brilliantly led by Shubhman with the bat and in the field, and impactful performances from everyone. Special mention to Siraj and Akash for the way they bowled on this pitch.' Kohli has now retired from both Tests and T20Is. He will only continue to play the 50-over format, where he holds the record for scoring the most centuries. His return to Team India colours has been delayed after the postponement of India's tour to Bangladesh. He will now be seen in the ODI series against Australia in October when India make the trip Down Under. The right-handed batter called time on his Test career having played 123 Tests. He scored 9230 runs at an average of 46.85 with 30 centuries and 31 fifties.

When Dilip Kumar secretly tied the knot with another woman while being married to Saira Banu for 16 years, she is now…
Dilip Kumar, the original heartthrob of Indian cinema, shocked everyone when he married at 44 — to the then 22-year-old Saira Banu. What began as a fairytale romance turned rocky sixteen years later when his secret marriage to another woman, Asma Rehman, surfaced. The revelation wasn't made in the family, but in the newspapers — and it broke Saira. A match made at a match? In his memoir, The Substance and The Shadow, Dilip revealed that he first met Asma during a cricket match in Hyderabad. At first glance, she appeared to be a married woman with three children. But slowly, Dilip began noticing unsettling patterns — like Asma and her husband turning up wherever he went. He later wrote, 'I was completely unaware of a connivance that was being mischievously perpetuated…' The affair that lasted two years The relationship, spanning 1981–1983, was something Dilip deeply regretted. 'I can never forget or forgive myself for the hurt I caused to Saira…' Asma's intentions became clearer with time, and Dilip eventually confessed to Saira. While heartbroken, the actress stood by him, but not without him taking responsibility. A written apology, a repaired marriage Dilip requested time to legally end his second marriage. Before finalising the divorce, he reaffirmed his loyalty in a written 'letter of commitment' to Saira and her family, promising never to marry again. Dilip Kumar would later describe this chapter as one orchestrated by 'divine purpose,' one that nearly destroyed their marriage but ultimately deepened their emotional bond. The two remained together until his passing in 2021 — a love story tarnished, but not broken.

Salman Khan Drops A Thirst Trap Pic Amid Praise For Battle Of Galwan First Look
Last Updated: As praise pours in for Battle of Galwan's motion poster, Salman Khan stuns fans with a smouldering new look. 'Old Bhaijaan is back,' says a fan. Salman Khan is basking in fan love for both his upcoming film Battle of Galwan and a dapper new photo he dropped on Instagram. The actor posted a striking new picture on Monday that instantly sent fans into a frenzy. In the image, Salman exudes effortless style in a suede grey jacket with metallic buttons, worn slightly open to reveal a hint of his chiselled chest. Pairing it with black sunglasses and a slicked-back hairstyle, the superstar looked every bit the heartthrob his fans remember. Comments poured in under the post within minutes. 'Epitome of handsomeness," one fan gushed. Another wrote, 'Old Bhaijaan is back," while many dropped fire and heart emojis to celebrate his rugged appearance. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Salman Khan (@beingsalmankhan) The post comes just days after Salman unveiled the motion poster of Battle of Galwan, his much-anticipated patriotic drama. The motion poster, which features him in an intense avatar, has already garnered massive appreciation online. Now, fans are eagerly awaiting the next announcement from the film. According to a report in Bollywood Bubble, Battle of Galwan will go on floors this August. A source revealed that the film's first schedule will be shot in Ladakh, followed by Mumbai and Kashmir. Battle of Galwan is based on the real-life clash between Indian and Chinese soldiers in the Galwan Valley in June 2020. The confrontation, fought without firearms due to existing bilateral agreements, was one of the deadliest border stand-offs in over four decades. Indian soldiers, despite being outnumbered and under-equipped, stood their ground with nothing but sheer grit and improvised weapons. The film, set over 15,000 feet above sea level, aims to capture the bravery, strategy, and endurance of the Indian Army in brutally inhospitable terrain. Meanwhile, Salman Khan has several big-ticket projects lined up. Sequels to Bajrangi Bhaijaan, Kick, and Andaz Apna Apna are all reportedly in development. Rumours also suggest he may reunite with Sanjay Dutt for an action-packed film titled Ganga Ram and collaborate once more with Sooraj Barjatya for a family drama. First Published:
