In the BTS video, Hrithik expressed his admiration for Jr. NTR and revealed how he felt validated working alongside him. He said, 'I always thought that I was being looked at as the guy who had too many tantrums about the flooring, about the shoes, and about how sticky the floor should be. And for the first time I had another performer in front of me (Jr.
NTR), who was asking about the same things and checking the same things.
He was checking the floor, the shoes, and putting gum on the shoe. It validated my 25 years of throwing that tantrum.'
Hrithik is also seen approaching Jr. NTR in the video, jokingly telling him, 'Ek banda to mila mujhe jo sochta hai the same way. Nobody else! (Finally, I found one person who thinks the same way as me. Nobody else does!)'
He added, 'I thought I was the only mad one.'

Hrithik Roshan praises Jr. NTR
Speaking about his collaboration with Jr. NTR, Hrithik shared, 'I was expecting a giant, of course, because I have seen his work, and he is absolutely incredible. But working with him has been sheer joy. It's been inspiring. I have learned a lot from him. It's a lethal combination of gentleness, grace, and strength. I sometimes wanted to step into his shoes and give the shot like him because he was all in — 200 percent for every single shot he gave.
'
He added that he hopes this marks the start of a strong friendship.

Donald Trump cancels August vacation to work on Russia-Ukraine
The White House on Tuesday (August 19, 2025) said President Donald Trump called off his traditional summer vacation in northern New Jersey due to the ongoing talks to end the war in Ukraine. Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary, confirmed the President's decision. 'This is normally the time when the President goes on vacation, but not this President,' Ms. Leavitt said, adding that there were 'discussions about him working from Bedminster for a couple of weeks but he decided against it.' Bedminster is the location of his club in northern New Jersey, where Mr. Trump often goes for weekends. He also spent some stretches of time in August there for vacation during his first term. The comments from Ms. Leavitt came when the White House took a portion of the day's press pool out to the renovated Rose Garden as the president tested out the area's new speakers. Earlier, Deputy White House Chief of Staff Dan Scavino posted footage showing off new speakers installed as part of Trump's makeover of the White House's Rose Garden. One of Mr. Trump's favourite songs, Lee Greenwood's 'God Bless the USA,' blares in the video, over a shot showing patio-style tables shielded by yellow umbrellas. The shot later focuses in on an American flag overhead. Ms. Leavitt subsequently brought reporters to the Rose Garden and said Mr. Trump was controlling the playlist as crews tested the speakers for 'what will be the best event in the history of the White House.' She said the next party there will be 'hopefully soon.' Other songs being played included 'Whiter Shade of Pale' by Procol Harum. The music was loud enough to be heard in other parts of the White House.

Dhanashree Verma opens up about finding love again after divorce from Yuzvendra Chahal: 'If something good is written ahead in my life...'
Yuzvendra Chahal and Dhanashree Verma's split turned into one of the most talked-about celebrity breakups of 2025. Their court appearance where the Indian spinner walked in wearing a cheeky T-shirt that read, 'Be Your Own Sugar Daddy,' the message didn't go unnoticed. Fans were quick to connect it to his ex-wife Dhanashree, and Chahal later admitted it was his way of sending one last statement to her before closing that chapter of his life. If Chahal made headlines with his bold T-shirt, Dhanashree bore the brunt of online trolling. Netizens blamed her for the split, and many even went as far as calling her a 'gold digger.' But instead of crumbling under pressure, the choreographer-turned-influencer bounced back stronger. She shut out the noise, returned to her passion for dance, and began focusing on her work. 'Who doesn't want love?' Dhanashree opens up on moving forward In a recent interview with Humans of Bombay, Dhanashree reflected on love after her very public breakup. When asked if she's still open to it, she didn't hesitate, 'I think we all want love in life. Like, who doesn't want to be loved? We all do somewhere, we all hope, we have that faith. And sometimes love is something that drives you also. I want self-love because of course, self-love, number one, you know, love yourself and then find love later. But if there is something good written for me ahead in my life, why not?' She went on to call love 'the most beautiful feeling' and admitted she's still a hopeless romantic at heart. She added, 'It is very Bollywood, all that ghanti, flowers falling on you and all of that. Who doesn't want that feeling? We all do. And we all must go through that. Everyone should have that kind of love. So yes, that's my take. I'm open into the open universe.' Dhanashree Verma Reacts To Rumours Divorce Rumours With Yuzvendra Chahal, Labels It 'Character Assassination' Chahal and Dhanashree's love story: From dance classes to divorce The couple's journey began in 2020 when Chahal signed up for Dhanashree's online dance classes. Sparks flew quickly, and within months they were engaged (August 2020) and married (December 2020). But four years later, the fairy-tale love story ended. In March 2025, the duo finalized their divorce after citing 'compatibility issues' as the reason for separation. Reports suggest that Chahal paid Dhanashree an alimony settlement of Rs 4.75 crore.
