are proud parents as their son Vivaan has graduated from the University of Southern California.
The actress used social media to share a video of some fun moments from the graduation ceremony.
She also wrote a heartfelt note on Instagram recalling her own graduation. Mini penned, "When I graduated from Delhi University (or for that matter when I did my masters) all I got was a pat on the back and a degree that reached me by mail. So I have never understood the big deal around graduation ceremonies in the west."
Sharing her experience of Vivaan's graduation ceremony, she added, "For all the current uncertainty around foreign students in the US, I have to admit that I loved every minute of Vivaans graduation.
It was celebratory, grandiose and very exhilarating. USC @presidentfolt you are a force of nature and it was amazing to get to know you better."

Mini further congratulated the young minds on achieving another milestone in their journey. "Makes me wonder why we do not celebrate our milestones equally because it's really all about learning, growing and signalling a readiness to make our mark on the world. So many bright minds in their Harry Potter robes going out into a world they will helm eventually.
Congratulations @vivaankabir for not just getting a double major in Politics & Film but also for four years of your metamorphosis.
Also to my favourite boys @arnavbulani @ahaanrao @aarhan.rc @arin.nene !! You make us so proud," her note read.
She decided to end the note with a fun disclosure. "PS: It was a first for me to wear sneakers under my saree and I loved it," Mini concluded.
Mini tied the knot with the filmmaker in February 1998. The couple is parents to two kids - son Vivaan and daughter Sairah.

Have Prince Harry and Meghan Markle lost it? Royal Family source makes shocking claim after ‘fake bump' video goes viral
Meghan Markle recently took to Instagram to post a video of herself twerking while being pregnant with Princess Lili, but a Royal Palace source has reportedly told DailyMail that the general notion around the Royal Family is that Prince Harry and Markle have 'completely lost it.' The video released by Markle shows her twerking with her baby bump. She wrote in the caption, "Four years ago today, this also happened. Both of our children were a week past their due dates… so when spicy food, all that walking, and acupuncture didn't work-there was only one thing left to do!" She posted this on the occasion of Princess Lili's birthday, as Markle was pregnant with her at the time of filming this clip. According to Daily Mail, this video is being considered 'tragic' by the Royal Palace ever since it went viral on the Internet. The main aim of posting the video supposedly was to shut trolls who claim that the couple surrogated their children, but all it has done is add further fuel to the fire due to certain 'loopholes' in the video. Meanwhile, body language experts suggested that it is not physically and mentally possible for Markle to do what was being done by her in the video at that stage of pregnancy.

India's highest-paid OTT actor earned ₹125 crore for 7 episodes, more than Shah Rukh Khan or Salman Khan's salary
Streaming platforms are undeniably reshaping the definition of stardom. Gone are the days when people thought OTT was for unconventional actors. In fact, this A-list Bollywood actor has broken all boundaries, outshining Bollywood biggies like Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan. Earning a staggering ₹ 125 crore for a single show, he's the highest-paid actor on OTT with a net worth of ₹ 427 crore (approximately $50 million USD), as per multiple reports. Ajay became the highest-paid OTT actor in 2021 when he signed for the Hindi adaptation of the hit British series, Luther, Rudra: Edge of Darkness. Starring as the cop with a dark history, he reportedly charged more than ₹ 100 crore for the seven-episode show. As per a report of Bollywood Hungama, Ajay was paid almost ₹ 18 crore per episode of the show. In total, he took home ₹ 125 crore and became the highest-paid actor in Indian entertainment history. His salary beats big players like Shah Rukh Khan who reportedly charged between ₹ 90 and ₹ 100 crore for his films Raees and Zero. Salman Khan is believed to charge a similar amount for his film, Bharat. Around the same time, Salman reportedly received a payment of approximately ₹ 50 crore for his 2021 film Antim: The Final Truth. He is likely to earn a little more for his film Radhe which was also released in the same year. Besides them, Saif Ali Khan who became the first superstar of Bollywood to foray into OTT with Netflix's Sacred Games, charged way less than Ajay. He was reportedly paid ₹ 15-20 for the latest, Sacred Games season 2. Even, Varun Dhawan earned between ₹ 12-15 crore for Citadel: Honey Bunny, reported Hindustan Times. As per a report of GQ, other promiment OTT stars such as Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Pankaj Tripathi, Ali Fazal, and Samantha Ruth Prabhu have received payments between ₹ 5-10 crore for their OTT shows. Jaideep Ahlawat reportedly received ₹ 20 crore as his salary for Patal Lok Season 2. Ajay was last seen in Raid 2. He has several projects in the pipeline, including Son of Sardaar 2, De De Pyaar De 2 and Dhamaal 4. However, all of these will see a theatrical release.

When the sound of silence is prized
The Kamal Haasan starrer Thug Life is in trouble in Karnataka because of the star's remark that Kannada came out of Tamil. The film industry in Karnataka has demanded an apology from him before clearing the film for release, but Kamal has refused to do so. A court in Bengaluru, too, has indicated in a statement that includes local language phrases that the sentiments of the masses cannot be hurt so casually and has thought that an apology would be required. Without that apology, the film may find it difficult to be released in Karnataka. All South Indian languages came out of a common source that resembles them to different degrees. But if someone says that one of them came out of another, it is like equating a language as it is spoken today with that source. It has been found, for instance, that Proto-Dravidian, a reconstructed source for South Indian languages, has commonalities with a language spoken near the Zagros mountains in Iran—since the Harappans are supposed to have been a mixture of early Indians and migrants from that region. In any case, all these are academic exercises and cannot have much bearing on the controversy, because that stems from political loyalties and beliefs. The creation of linguistic states was a rational decision, but it had major repercussions that were not anticipated. It created language loyalties in pockets where Hindi was not widely spoken, like South India. The Devanagari script is associated with Sanskrit, which has Brahminical associations, and language in South India has also become connected to caste issues.
