'Imran Khan wasn't talented ... used to shout at us': Wasim Akram spills the beans

Wasim Akram and Imran Khan NEW DELHI: Pakistan pace legend Wasim Akram has opened up on what it was like to play under Imran Khan , calling the 1992 World Cup-winning skipper the greatest captain he ever played with. Akram, who began his international career in the mid-1980s, credited Imran for shaping him not only as a cricketer but also as a professional. Reflecting on his early days with Pakistan, Akram said much of his development came under Imran's guidance. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! "I think whatever I did as a cricketer, off the field, on the field, credit goes to him. He used to give us a lot of confidence. He led from the front. He had a belief in his own ability. He was a hardworking cricketer," Akram said on Stick to Cricket. While many considered Imran a naturally gifted player, Akram stressed that his success was built on relentless effort. "People used to say I'm very naturally talented. Skipper wasn't talented. He worked hard. Remember he changed his bowling action. From 76, exactly. Changing even a little bit of action can take months, it might not happen. But he did change his action. He was so determined," Akram said. Akram emphasised that Imran's determination and willingness to reinvent himself set an example for the entire team. His hard work, according to Akram, created a culture where no one could afford to be complacent. "I mean he was the best captain I played under. He used to give confidence to every one of us," Akram noted. Poll Who do you believe is the greatest cricket captain in history? Imran Khan Kapil Dev Steve Waugh Clive Lloyd At the same time, Imran was known to be tough on his players when required. Akram explained that the former skipper demanded full commitment on the field. "At times he used to shout at us because if you were lazy, fair enough. He was tough, but he was tough on the field. You give your 100%. If you don't do well, he was okay with it," he said. However, Imran could not tolerate players who tried to shield themselves in pressure situations. "If you're trying to save yourself and say okay, it's a pressure situation, I'll just take a back seat — he used to judge. He knew this particular player is just saving himself. So that used to annoy him a lot," Akram revealed. Catch Rani Rampal's inspiring story on Game On, Episode 4. Watch Here!

Keerthy Suresh Radiates Bohemian Glamour In A Whimsical Patchwork Gown

Keerthy Suresh dazzles in a pastel patchwork gown, twirling with effortless grace and bohemian charm. Keerthy Suresh's sartorial choices have always reflected an innate understanding of elegance laced with individuality, and her latest Instagram post captioned 'Twirls, Swirls and Smiles 🩵💛" is no exception. In these pictures, the National Award-winning actor embodies a romantic, free-spirited muse, reveling in movement, colour, and charm. Her ensemble is a masterclass in modern bohemian glamour. The off-shoulder gown, awash in a medley of pastels, geometric overlays, and delicate floral motifs, is a visual symphony that celebrates both whimsy and refinement. With its corseted bodice and sweeping, voluminous skirt, the silhouette accentuates femininity while offering fluidity, perfect for the cinematic swirls she strikes in front of the lens. The patchwork-inspired patterning recalls a painter's canvas, lending the look both artistry and lightness, an ode to eclectic yet controlled maximalism. The styling embraces restraint, allowing the dress to command attention while punctuating it with carefully curated accents. A bold chain-link necklace with a vintage-inspired pendant adds gravitas at the décolletage, while an emerald statement ring offers an intriguing contrast to the pastel palette. Her choice of metallic heels is clever, subtle in shine yet elongated in form, grounding the otherwise airy aesthetic without weighing it down. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Keerthy Suresh (@keerthysureshofficial) Beauty remains understated, luminous, and evocative of summer romance. Her eyes glimmer with a wash of iridescent pink, paired with softly flushed cheeks and a muted rose lip, echoing the hues in her gown. The look feels sun-kissed and effortless, underscoring her natural radiance. Her hair, left in loose, voluminous waves, mirrors the dress's fluidity, carefree yet undeniably polished. But perhaps the most compelling accessory here is Keerthy herself. The candidness of her smile, the joy in her twirl, the uninhibited spirit she channels, all converge to make this moment not merely a fashion statement but a celebration of movement and mood. Her caption 'Twirls, Swirls and Smiles 🩵💛" becomes more than a phrase; it is the very essence of the imagery, encapsulating lightness, freedom, and feminine grace. With this look, Keerthy Suresh reminds us that true style lies not just in fabric or form but in the energy with which one wears it.

Bharti Singh Calls Son 'Kharab, Ajeeb', Says Punjabis And Gujaratis Shouldn't Have Kids Together

Bharti Singh opened up about her son, Gola's naughtiness and called a him a 'strange' combination of her and Haarsh. Comedian Bharti Singh and writer Haarsh Limbachiyaa are among the most popular couples on Indian television today. Bharti hails from a Punjabi family, while Haarsh is a Gujarati. Despite having a loving bond, which they also share with fans on YouTube, Bharti believes that a Punjabi and a Gujarati should not have kids together. Bharti recently appeared on Raj Shamani's podcast and joked about how their son, Gola, is a 'strange' combination of both cultures. Bharti Singh said, 'Nahi karni chahiye kyuki unka bachcha bada kharab nikalta hai. Humara bachcha na… ab tak humare teen phone balti main ja chuke hain pani main. Kayi cheezein, mugs, towel, Haarsh ke kachche padosiyon ke ghar uda deta hai voh. Bohot zyada mujhe aisa lagta hai ki… pata nahi saare aise hi shararati hote hain, humara toh pehla hi hai. Bohot zyada shararati hai." She added, 'Mujhe aisa lagta hai yeh combination kuch ajeeb nahi ho gaya, ghee aur dhokle ka? Thoda ajeeb sa ho gaya hai. Main toh kitna bolti hoon, vlog pe bhi bola hai kayi baar, ki agar kisi Gujarati aur Punjabi ko pyaar ho raha hai toh pehli hi soch lo kyuki humara bachcha aisa hai." Bharti, Haarsh's Love Story Bharti and Haarsh first met on the sets of a comedy show, where Haarsh was working as a scriptwriter. Their professional chemistry soon turned into a beautiful romance that captured fans' hearts. The duo tied the knot on December 3, 2017, in a grand destination wedding in Goa. Since their marriage, Bharti and Haarsh have become one of Indian television's most popular power couples. They have worked together on several shows, including Khatra Khatra Khatra and Dance Deewane, charming audiences with their comic timing and on-screen camaraderie. Their bond is admired not just for its humour, but also for the deep respect and love they openly express for each other. In April 2022, Bharti and Haarsh welcomed their first child, a baby boy, lovingly nicknamed 'Gola". The arrival of their son marked a new chapter in their lives, one filled with joy and gratitude. The couple has shared glimpses of their parenting journey on social media, continuing to spread positivity and laughter even in this new role.
