This is how Arjun Rampal prepared for his role Rauf in 'Rana Naidu 2'
Mumbai: Actor Arjun Rampal has been garnering a lot of attention for his portrayal as Rauf in the second season of the beloved web series, "Rana Naidu". However, did you know that Rampal needed some push before saying yes to the project? Recalling the incident, the 'Om Shanti Om' actor said, 'I was skeptical at first. I wanted to understand the character's journey and arc. Karan made me feel very, very comfortable. Then I binge-watched Season 1. The writing, the performances, the emotional undercurrents—it all just clicked.' It was the creative interaction with the creators of the show - Karan Anshuman, Suparn Verma, and Abhay Chopra that changed things for Rampal. Sharing the essence of Rauf, the 'Rock On!!' actor said, 'Rauf's not your typical bad guy. He makes you think he's a good guy and then he terrifies you.' Once he signed the dotted line, Rampal left no stone unturned to make his character more convincing on screen. Tapping into some real-life experiences, he learned about a few chilling anecdotes from gangsters. 'Some of the stuff I've heard is wild. One guy told me he hid in a morgue for a week to avoid getting caught. It sounds absurd, but that's the point—the underworld isn't just dark, it's bizarre," Rampal remembered. On Friday, Rampal recalled how the team of "Rana Naidu 2" spent nine hours at his home two years ago, leading him to be a part of the show. Taking to his Instagram account, he dropped a BTS clip featuring him and others from the drama. The video was accompanied by a note that read, 'Dear team Rana Naidu, it's Friday the 13th June 2025. We are in people's homes from today. I just want to take this moment to Thank you the whole Rana Naidu family, who 2 years ago came into my home and took 9hrs of my life, leaving me pondering, that I would love to do something like that. It was like from my mouth to Gods ears.' "Rana Naidu 2" premiered on Netflix on June 13.

Want Toned Legs And Glutes Like Malaika Arora? Follow This Simple Squat Routine
Last Updated: Malaika Arora took to her Instagram to share a simple squat routine that can help you lose thigh fat and get sculpted legs and glutes. Keeping in line with her ongoing fitness series on her social media, actor Malaika Arora shared a new video where she shared a simple exercise. The exercise, which can be done at home, includes simple movements that target the legs, glutes, and core to give you sculpted thighs and hips. Taking to her Instagram, Malaika Arora shared a video of herself performing the exercise at her home gym. The actor was dressed in a maroon cropped athleisure top and matching maroon leggings. Using two dumbbells, she performed simple squats that target the hips, glutes, and core. She wrote, 'Sculpted simplicity." She suggested performing three sets with 15 reps each to see the results. Builds Full-Body Strength- While it primarily targets your quads, glutes, and hamstrings, holding dumbbells also engages your core, arms, and upper back, turning it into a full-body movement. Enhances Mobility and Posture- With proper form, dumbbell squats improve hip flexibility, spinal alignment, and ankle mobility, helping you move and sit better in daily life. Boosts Calorie Burn and Metabolism- Working large muscle groups like your legs and glutes fires up your metabolism, promoting fat burn even after you've left the gym. Strengthens the Core (Secretly)- To stabilise the weight, your core works overtime, making this a stealth ab workout as well. Improves Functional Fitness- Squats mimic everyday movements like sitting, lifting, and climbing stairs – so you're not just working out, you're training for life. How to Do Dumbbell Squats Like a Pro? Stand tall with feet shoulder-width apart, a dumbbell in each hand at your sides or shoulder level. Keep your spine neutral, chest lifted, and abs tight. Bend your knees and push your hips back as if sitting on a chair. Keep knees aligned with toes. Lower until your thighs are parallel to the floor, or as deep as your mobility allows. Press through your heels and return to standing without locking the knees. Aim for 3 sets of 10–12 reps, resting in between. First Published: June 16, 2025, 13:40 IST

Travis Kelce stuns Cannes in $2,770 designer fit as Taylor Swift plans full NFL takeover
Travis Kelce stuns Cannes in $2,770 designer fit (Image credit: Instagram/X) Travis Kelce didn't just show up at Cannes Lions 2025—he owned it, in a $2,770 outfit that whispered power, elegance, and a subtle nod to romance. Decked in a $695 Nahmias knit and $1,050 Gucci loafers, the NFL star looked every bit red carpet royalty. A $975 Louis Vuitton necklace and $50 Homebred snapback sealed the fit with understated flair. But it wasn't just the outfit—talk of Taylor Swift made heads turn even faster. Kelce brothers light up Cannes with NFL-star power Joining his brother Jason Kelce, the Super Bowl champ took center stage at Amazon Port's 'New Heights' panel. While Jason drew laughs in a Bluey-themed set honoring Father's Day, Travis went for luxe minimalism. Their dynamic was electric—brotherhood meets branding, with the NFL's two most-watched siblings stealing the show. It was sport, style, and storytelling—wrapped in Cannes glamor. Speaking at the event, Travis said, "I think we've always wanted to show everybody our brotherhood, our family, how we're in this crazy football world together supporting each other from different sides of the country. "It was an opportunity to honestly spend more time together." But the bigger buzz? Taylor Swift. The pop icon, who made sporadic game-day appearances in 2023 and 2024, is now clearing her fall calendar. For the first time since their romance began, Swift plans to attend the full 2025 NFL season. And fans—and cameras—are already ready for it. Taylor Swift set to make her most visible NFL season yet An insider told PEOPLE, "Not just because she loves supporting Travis, but because for the first full season since they started dating, she's not juggling a packed tour schedule. This fall will be completely different." With Swift in the stands and Kelce leading the Chiefs on the field, the spotlight is inevitable. Their presence is already redefining celebrity-sports crossover, pulling millions of new eyes to the NFL. From designer fits to game-day thrills, the Kelce-Swift effect is pure cultural gold. For Travis, it's fame, form, and focus—all aligning in perfect timing.

A legacy in the making. He came to France in style—but the next headlines will be made on the turf. And this fall, the world will be watching every play—and every glance.
