Aishwarya Rai Bachchan
left the internet ablaze with her day 1 look at the Cannes Film Festival 2025. The actress opted for an ivory Manish Malhotra saree with silver zari and rose gold work. What stole the show was her sindoor look which was quite a statement.
But while fans are not yet over her look of day 1, she has yet again left the internet gushing with her look on the second day.
The 'Taal' actress opted for a Gaurav Gupta gown in black with silver on it. The black gown had intricate silver and gold beadwork on it in abstract form. She teamed this look up with wavy hair and the internet is breathing a sigh of relief for it. These waves were refreshing from her usual straight hair and fans cannot stop swooning over her.
A bold red lip colour further made this look a stand-out and classy to say the least.
She was seen carrying a handwoven brocade that was wrapped around her like a shawl.
Aaradhya was also seen with her and she was also spotted in an all-black avatar as she was holding her mother's hand.
Here's how netizens reacted. A user said, "Queen for a reason 🌚" Another one said, "Someone finally burnt the straightener lot of her hairstylist" Another person commented, "It's her personality that's carrying her, not the clothes" A fan said, "MY MOTHER CANNESWARYA IS BACK IM LIVING!"
A fan commented, "I think I just died a little bit when the drape slipped off her shoulder! What a beauty!"
Users also felt that while on Day 1, Aishwarya gave the 'Paro' vibe from 'Devdas', today she looked like Sunheri from 'Dhoom 2'. A user said, "Now people can die peacefully. She showed up with right silhouette, hairstyle and perfect styling ❤️ Yesterday 'Paro 'today 'Sunehri'."
Aishwarya had made her first appearance at Cannes in 2002 for the screening of 'Devdas'. Since then, the actress is a regular at the festival. So much so that she is referred to as the 'Queen of Cannes'.

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.

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.

Karan Johar cryptically reacts to rumours of insuring his face after secret South Korea trips: 'The oh-so-secret scoops!'

Karan Johar has always known how to make headlines, whether it's for his fashion, films, or fiery talk show comebacks. But this time, the filmmaker is trending for a rather unexpected reason. A viral Reddit post claims that the Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani director secretly flew to South Korea multiple times to get one very specific thing done: insurance for his face. According to the post, Johar was allegedly inspired by a close friend from the South Indian film industry who had done the same. 'Rumour has it Karan Johar secretly flew to South Korea multiple times to get… his face insured. Yup, inspired by a close friend, and apparently it's a trend there,' the post read. It added cheekily, 'Insiders say he's been way more chill since—smiling more, less snappy, even gave a rare compliment at work. No word from him yet, but now we're all wondering: does this cover acne, sunburns, wrinkles? And how much is that premium?!' Karan breaks his silence—sort of While the director hasn't confirmed or denied the claim, he did respond with a cryptic Instagram Story. 'Read the rumours, the whispers. The oh-so-secret scoops! Well, keep up the drama and stay tuned,' he wrote, adding fuel to the speculative fire. Karan wouldn't be the first Bollywood celebrity to get a unique part of their body insured. Amitabh Bachchan's iconic baritone voice is protected, while John Abraham once reportedly insured his much-talked-about backside. So face insurance? Sounds like classic KJo drama, served with a side of flair. What else is KJo up to? While the rumour mill churns, Karan Johar is staying busy on the professional front. He's set to host the Hindi adaptation of the international reality show The Traitors on Amazon Prime Video. The series premieres June 12, with new episodes dropping every Thursday. Karan Johar's Fashion Love Began with Zeenat Aman! Meanwhile, Dharma Productions has a stacked slate. Among the big releases: Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari starring Janhvi Kapoor and Varun Dhawan, Dhadak 2 with Triptii Dimri and Siddhant Chaturvedi, Chand Mera Dil featuring Ananya Panday and Lakshya, Tu Meri Main Tera, Main Tera Tu Meri with Kartik Aaryan and Nagzilla, a VFX-heavy spectacle. Johar also made waves at the Cannes Film Festival 2025, where Dharma's Homebound—directed by Neeraj Ghaywan and starring Janhvi Kapoor, Ishaan Khatter, and Vishal Jethwa—had its premiere. The film follows two childhood friends from a small North Indian village chasing police jobs, only to find their bond tested by ambition and desperation.
