She shared a picture with a note, which read, '25 years ago, a story entered Indian homes and quietly became part of countless lives. Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi wasn't just a show—it was emotion, memory, ritual. A time when families paused everything to sit together… cry, laugh, hope. To every viewer who made Tulsi a part of their own family—thank you. This journey wasn't mine alone. It was ours. And it always will be.'
The show revolved around an ideal daughter-in-law, Tulsi (Smriti), the daughter of a pandit married to the grandson of business tycoon Govardhan Virani (Amar Upadhyay/ Ronit Roy). Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi was the most successful serial at its time, garnering double-digit TRPs for six years. It marked a turning point for Ektaa as well as Smriti.

Pearl Jam drummer Matt Cameron leaves the iconic band after 27 years

Iconic band Pearl Jam's drummer Matt Cameron has announced that he is leaving the band after playing with them for 27 years. In an emotional Instagram post shared on Monday, Cameron wrote, 'After 27 fantastic years, I have taken my final steps down the drum riser for the mighty Pearl Jam (sic).' He thanked his fellow band members for their support and friendship, saying, 'Much love and respect to Jeff, Ed, Mike and Stone for inviting me into the band in 1998 and for giving me the opportunity of a lifetime, one filled with friendships, artistry, challenges and laughter (sic).' In his message to fans, Cameron also shared his gratitude for their ongoing support, writing, 'I am forever grateful to the crew, staff and fans the world over. It's been an incredible journey. More to follow. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart.' His message hints that he may share news about his future plans soon. Pearl Jam members Eddie Vedder, Stone Gossard, Mike McCready and Jeff Ament released their own statement following Cameron's departure. 'From being one of our first musical heroes in the bands Skinyard and the mighty Soundgarden, to playing on our first demos in 1990, Matt Cameron has been a singular and true powerhouse of a musician and drummer (sic),' the band said. They praised his impact on their music, adding, 'He has propelled the last 27 years of Pearl Jam live shows and studio recordings. It was a deeply important chapter for our group and we wish him well always. He will be deeply missed and is forever our friend in art and music. We love you Matt (sic).' Cameron joined Pearl Jam in 1998, just one year after his previous band, Soundgarden, broke up. In 2010, when Soundgarden got back together, Cameron played with both bands at the same time. He remained a member of Soundgarden until they broke up again in 2017 after the passing of lead singer Chris Cornell. Cameron's departure marks the end of a major chapter in Pearl Jam's history, and fans around the world are reflecting on the legacy he leaves behind

Virat Kohli spotted at Wimbledon; celebrates Novak Djokovic's win with heartfelt Instagram story

Virat Kohli, Indian cricket icon was spotted at Wimbledon 2025 on July 7, soaking in the electric atmosphere of the Centre Court alongside his wife, Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma. The couple was there to witness Novak Djokovic's thrilling round of 16 win against Australia's Alex de Minaur in the Wimbledon 2025 Championships. Kohli took to Instagram to share his excitement, posting a heartfelt story for Djokovic. Kohli, who recently retired from Test cricket, was in London following his Indian Premier League (IPL) triumph with Royal Challengers Bengaluru in June 2025. He was seen in the stands, dressed in formals, cheering for Djokovic. Djokovic delivered a masterclass, overcoming a 1-6 deficit in the first set to win 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 in the subsequent sets, advancing to his 16th Wimbledon quarterfinals. Kohli's presence, alongside other notables like Roger Federer, Joe Root, and James Anderson, added to the event's glamour. In his Instagram story, Kohli wrote, 'What a match. It was business as usual for the gladiator. @djokernole,' capturing his awe for Djokovic's skills. Virat Kohli's Instagram story The relationship between Kohli and Djokovic is a fascinating tale of mutual admiration. Their friendship began through Instagram, with Kohli revealing in a 2024 BCCI video that he stumbled upon a message from Djokovic in his DMs. 'I was just looking at his profile on Instagram and pressed the message button, thinking I'd say hello. Then I saw he'd already messaged me,' Kohli shared, recounting how he initially checked for a fake account before realizing it was the tennis legend himself. This sparked a texting relationship, with the two exchanging messages over the years, celebrating each other's milestones. Djokovic has reciprocated this admiration, notably congratulating Kohli on his 50th ODI century in 2023 via Instagram and expressing a desire to perfect his cricket skills before visiting India. 'Virat Kohli and I have been texting for a few years. It's an honour to hear him speak nicely about me,' Djokovic said in a Sony Sports Network interview. Their shared passion for fitness and relentless pursuit of excellence has been a cornerstone of their bond, inspiring fans globally. Djokovic has won 24 Grand Slams and seven Wimbledon titles and will seek to add one more to the tally. After losing in the final to Carlos Alcaraz in the previous Wimbledon, Djokovic will want to bounce back and claim the victory this year. He will next face Flavio Cobolli in the quarterfinals.
