Sexy! Ridhima Pandit Oozes Fashion In Black Sheer Saree, Sets Internet Ablaze
Ridhima Pandit stuns in a black saree and celebrates her birthday by pledging to donate her eyes. Inspired by Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, she shares her decision with Hindustan Times.
Ridhima Pandit drops a series of pictures that have left the internet buzzing as she turns up the heat. In the pictures, Ridhima Pandit looked stunning in a black six-yard drape styled gracefully to accentuate her body. The sheer saree features minimal detailing with a thin golden border. She paired her saree with an elbow-length blouse featuring a deep V-neck style that adds a touch of glamour and boldness to her appearance.
Ridhima drapes the saree in a relaxed, open-pallu style, letting the fabric flow naturally over her shoulder. This styling choice works well with the breezy seaside setting, creating a look that's both effortless and chic. For accessories, she's kept it minimal with statement earrings. The lack of heavy jewelry lets the saree's design and her natural beauty stand out.
For the makeup, Ridhima chose to keep it fresh with minimal touches. For the eyeshadow, she chose a palette of browns which, without standing out too much, elevated her look. Fluttery lashes, peachy-nude lipstick, and minimal blush finish the look.
Ridhima turned a year older on June 25, and instead of anything grand, she chose to celebrate her day with a meaningful act by pledging to donate her eyes. The Bahu Hamari Rajnikant star took to social media to share her heartfelt decision.
In a conversation with Hindustan Times, Ridhima opened up about what influenced her decision. 'I'm deeply passionate about giving back to the community in any way possible, and this is something I wanted to do since I was a kid," she shared.
Ridhima also revealed that her inspiration came years ago from actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, who had pledged to donate her eyes. 'As a kid, I remember being impressed. Inspired by her example, I finally completed the formalities and made the pledge," Ridhima said.
Ridhima Pandit is a well-known face in the television world, known for her roles in hit shows like Bahu Hamari Rajnikant and Bharti Singh's Khatra Khatra Khatra. She has also been a part of reality shows like Fear Factor: Khatron Ke Khiladi and the first season of Bigg Boss OTT.

Ever Wondered How Your Favourite Banana Chips Get That Crunch? Watch This
Last Updated: A special banana slicer is fixed on the edge of the wok, and the peeled bananas are sliced directly into the hot oil. Banana chips are a popular snack loved by many across the country. The crunchiness with a salty taste makes them hard to resist once you start. But how exactly are these delicious chips made? A viral video from Delhi shows the step-by-step process of preparing banana chips. The clip was filmed at a shop called South Indian Hot Chips in Vivek Nagar, Delhi, where two vendors are seen preparing banana chips in large batches. Here's How The Vendors Prepare Delicious Banana Chips They begin with firm green bananas, ideal for frying into crispy chips, and carefully peel them before moving on to the next step. Next, one of the vendors pours a tin of oil into a big wok. A special banana slicer is fixed on the edge of the wok, and the peeled bananas are sliced directly into the hot oil. With every press, thin, long banana slices drop straight into the sizzling oil. The vendors fry the chips until they turn golden brown. Finally, the cooked chips are taken out with a large strainer ladle to drain the excess oil. The footage was shared online by a food vlogger with the caption: 'Banana chips lovers, this one's for you! Delhi mein ho rahi hai banana chips ki mass production – crispy, fresh & full of flavour! (Mass production of banana chips in Delhi). Ek baar try karoge, baar-baar yaad aayega! (Try it once and you'll keep remembering it.) Location: Vivek Vihar."

Many just dropped heart emojis to show how much they love banana chips. Are Banana Chips Really Healthy? The crispy chips look undeniably tempting and are often seen as a healthier snack alternative. However, this belief was challenged by a man, identified as a doctor on his Instagram handle. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Dr. Eswar (@ In a video posted in May, he burned two banana chips to demonstrate how much oil they contained. Within seconds, the paper beneath the chips was soaked with more than '20 oil drops." He claimed that, despite their healthy reputation, banana chips actually hold a significant amount of oil.

Inside Arpita Khan And Aayush Sharma's ₹25 Crore Sea-Facing Sanctuary in Bandra
Curated By : Swati Chaturvedi Last Updated: August 11, 2025, 10:22 IST Aayush Sharma and Arpita Khan Sharma got married in 2014 In Mumbai, where every square foot is a prized possession and balconies are rarer than punctual monsoons, Arpita Khan and Aayush Sharma have managed to land themselves the ultimate coastal trophy. Their Bandra address sits on one of the city's most desirable streets, a short, star-struck stroll from Salman Khan's legendary Galaxy Apartments and comes with a front-row seat to the Arabian Sea. This isn't just 'sea-facing." This is 'the sea practically says good morning to you." Over cappuccinos, you can watch the skyline soften under the sun's first blush, all without ever feeling disconnected from the pulse of Mumbai. But here's the twist: there's no bling overload, no gold-plated everything. Instead, think Scandinavian minimalism meets Bollywood warmth, a style cocktail that even Farah Khan admitted left her open-mouthed. The Brotherly Gesture That Became a Landmark Address Homes like this don't come on the market, they come as gifts. In this case, from Salman to his sister and brother-in-law. The generosity is as grand as the apartment itself. Step into the lobby and you're met with an airy, understated elegance, a space that's as much about quiet luxury as it is about scale. Beyond it, an open-plan living and dining area plays in a soft palette of whites and oceanic blues, dotted with furniture so pristine you almost feel the need to ask permission to sit. And yet, it's no sterile showroom, it's a home that's ready for kids' giggles and late-night family chats. Minimalism With a Personal Signature Arpita helmed the interiors herself, favouring clean lines, muted tones, and smart use of light, hallmarks of Scandinavian design. But in the middle of the calm is a striking personal touch: an Ayatul Kursi painting by Salman Khan. It's art, it's faith, and it's a deeply personal statement that anchors the space in meaning. The Balcony Every Mumbaikar Dreams About Forget cramped city balconies barely big enough for a potted plant. Here, there's space for al fresco dinners, morning yoga, kids' games, and long evenings watching the sun dissolve into the Arabian Sea. Wrapped in greenery and fitted with cosy seating, it's the kind of outdoor space that could be an address in itself. No wonder Farah Khan looked out at the view and declared, 'Better than Dubai!" A Kitchen With Its Own Microclimate Then there's the kitchen, vast, cool, and shockingly well-equipped. Four air-conditioners. Three refrigerators. Enough room to host a cricket match between the counters. When Farah asked who actually cooks here, Aayush joked about discovering their chef's salary and wondering if ordering takeout might be cheaper. Still, the heart of the kitchen beats with home cooking. Meals from Salman's mother, Salma Khan, arrive daily, while Arpita sends her own culinary offerings to the extended family. It's a food exchange program powered by love (and probably a lot of tiffin carriers). Finland, But Make It Bollywood In a laugh-out-loud moment during Farah's vlog tour, Arpita revealed that they took their chef along on a trip to Finland. Cue Farah imagining parathas being flipped inside an igloo. In reality, they stayed in a villa but the image is pure comedy gold. A Five-Year-Old's Interior Design Debut While Arpita masterminded most of the décor, the couple's daughter Ayat called the shots in her own room. The result? A pink fantasyland complete with fairy-tale details, cartoon accents, and an art corner for creative adventures. It's unapologetically playful, a refreshing contrast to the home's otherwise sophisticated vibe. Luxury That's Actually Liveable Swipe Left For Next Video View all Too often, celebrity homes feel like glossy museum exhibits perfect for photographs, but impossible to live in. This one flips that script. Yes, it's expensive enough to fund an indie film festival, but it's also a space where friends linger, kids run free, and life happens in the open. For all its grandeur, this Bandra beauty is a family home first. Maybe that's why even Farah Khan, a woman who has toured more than her fair share of luxe pads, couldn't stop raving about it.
