Randeep Hooda: We should try to infuse our heritage into today's fashion
was recently in Gurgaon to walk the ramp for Filipino designer Michael Cinco at the second edition of Times Lifestyle Week. Calling it a fairytale show, akin to a painting, Randeep, who wore a black floor-length robe with an embroidered jacket, said, 'I quite enjoyed being on the ramp. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now ' Most of my life, I have roamed around in T-shirt and jeans, but now I believe that it is better to be overdressed than to be underdressed Randeep Hooda Talking about his personal style, he said, 'Most of my life, I have roamed around in T-shirt and jeans, but now I believe that it is better to be overdressed than underdressed. Fashion is about adorning the human body with something that accentuates its already existing beauty.' The actor says his fashion sense has evolved since his marriage to Lin Laishram, adding that he has started accessorising now When asked if there's a particular aspect of traditional Haryanvi attire that he wished gets recognised on the global fashion map, he said, 'The Haryanvi headgear is very exotic. It gives a feeling of timelessness, which I really like. The comfort and easy fit in regional fashion draws me. We should go back to our heritage and find ways of infusing it into today's fashion rather than aping the west. There's nothing like wearing your heritage on your sleeve, quite literally. ' Sharing some fashion advice, the Highway actor said, 'Be yourself, and don't give into fads. I also believe that one should choose to have a style statement that is timeless, which doesn't have to change with every trend.' The Sarbjit actor, who recently got back in the saddle after almost two years and also donned the hat of a director, said, "Living and dying in a saddle was a dream, but I have many other saddles that I need to straddle. Riding the horse has taken a backseat due to injuries and work, but it is something I want to pursue all my life. I want to be 80-something and still be riding a horse."

Chefs in Hyderabad are getting bold with the mango
Mango season here is almost ritualistic. Dessert counters brim with mango treats, and no home-cooked meal feels complete without a plate of the fruit. But this time, the city's chefs are going beyond the familiar — leaving behind the likes of mango cheesecake and tres leches. Instead, you will find a coconut mango mousse cake, a silky Filipino-style drinking dessert called Mango Bango, sushi topped with ripe mango slices, and a mango pizza. If there can be pineapple on pizza and mango in cake, why not mango on pizza? That is the thinking behind Café Delhi Heights' bold new experiment at Inorbit Mall. Led by Chef Ashish Singh, the team reimagined the classic Margherita with a seasonal twist: fresh mango slices layered over a thin, slightly crunchy base. What began as a curious kitchen trial has become a crowd-pleaser, particularly among kids and mango lovers looking for something playful. Inspired by the Hawaiian pizza tradition, this sweet-savoury combo highlights mango's versatility, as its sweetness cuts through the saltiness of the cheese. Cloud kitchen Trio La Patisserie (TLP) has taken things a step further with Mango Bango—a drinking dessert inspired by a Filipino staple that feels like mango and cream with a tropical twist. Their version combines fresh tender coconut water jelly, sago, full-fat milk, mango, and condensed milk. It is low on sugar, with the option to add honey or a touch of sweetness if you like. TLP only prepares this eggless dessert when they source the sweetest and high-quality mangoes from their home farm. Another strictly seasonal special comes from Bougainvillea: mango sushi. Rolled in black sushi rice, it is filled with avocado, cream cheese, and tanuki (tempura flour crumbs) for crunch, and topped with mango for that sweet-savoury finish. And then there is the Mango Picante Virat Kholi's One8 Commune in Hyderabad. Tequila meets jalapeño honey, but it is the aam papad rim that brings boldness, bite, and just the right amount of nostalgia. No mango story is complete without a nod to the Thai classic — sticky rice and mango. At Taro, the Asian speciality kitchen, the dish gets a golden glow-up. Chef Dipesh Kanwar reimagines it with creamy coconut sticky rice, threads of saffron, and slices of ripe mango. The floral warmth of saffron pairs beautifully with tropical sweetness, while a drizzle of salted coconut cream and toasted sesame seeds adds contrast and crunch. If you are craving something lighter, Roastery's mango salad offers a refreshing kick. Juicy mango meets a gentle burn from finely chopped bird's eye chilli — just the thing to brighten up a grey, rainy afternoon.

'Rested' Manny Pacquiao Relishing Boxing Comeback At 46
Manny Pacquiao on Tuesday shrugged off concerns about his decision to return to boxing at the age of 46 as he prepares for next month's world welterweight title comeback against Mario Barrios. The charismatic Filipino boxing icon stunned the sports world last month after announcing he would take on World Boxing Council (WBC) champion Barrios on July 19 in Las Vegas, four years after his last fight ended in a disappointing defeat. Pacquiao, who won 12 world titles in eight different weight classes during a glittering professional career that began in 1995, told reporters on Tuesday that the glamour of championship boxing had prompted his return. "I'm returning because I miss my boxing," Pacquiao said at a press conference in Los Angeles. "Especially these situations -- being interviewed, press conference, training camp, everything like that. "I missed that. But it has been good for me -- I've rested my body for four years. And now I come back." Pacquiao said that he had been left devastated following his decision to retire in the wake of his loss to Yordenis Ugas in 2021. "I always thought, even when I hung up my gloves, 'I can still fight, I can still feel my body, I can still work hard,'" Pacquiao said. "That moment when I announced hanging up my gloves four years ago -- I was so sad. I was crying, I cannot stop the tears coming out my eyes." Pacquiao, though, revealed that working out at his home in the Philippines persuaded him he still had the fitness and strength to fight. "I realized when I'm playing basketball, training at the gym my house -- I have complete sport facilities in my house -- that I still have that passion. I still have that speed and power," he said. 'Low-risk' comeback Some in boxing have expressed concerns about whether Pacquiao's comeback against Barrios, who is 16 years his junior, represents a risk to the Filipino's safety. Addressing those concerns, Pacquiao noted that his family and loved ones were firmly behind his comeback. "I'm thankful for them for their concern," Pacquiao told AFP. "But the people who really concern me, is my family. My family saw how I move, saw how I train, saw my my body condition. They support me because they can see the old Pacquiao style." Pacquiao, who has reunited with veteran trainer Freddie Roach for next month's fight, is able to challenge immediately for a title due to a WBC rule that allows former champions to request a title fight when coming out of retirement. WBC President Mauricio Sulaiman told AFP on Tuesday that Pacquiao had been cleared to return to the ring by the Nevada Athletic Commission after undergoing medical exams, describing the fighter's comeback as "low risk". "Manny Pacquiao is at no higher risk than any fighter going into the ring," Sulaiman said. "Manny has rested his body for four years. He's not a drinker. He's not a drug user. He's a family man that has taken care of himself. So of the different aspects of dangers, he's at the lowest risk." Pacquiao's opponent, Barrios, said he would set aside the Filipino's status as one of the most beloved fighters of his era. "There's nothing but good things to say about him outside the ring," Barrios said of Pacquiao. "He's a hard guy to dislike. But at the end of the day, you know it's kill or be killed. "And I know if at any point he has me hurt, you know he's going to get me out of there. So I just have to go in there and make sure that my hand is raised at the end of the fight."
