Hina Khan Dishes Out Old-World Glamour In A Stunning Black Midi Dress
Hina Khan has been serving back-to-back fashionable looks. While fans are still gushing over her pastel-coded bridal avatar, the Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai actress dropped another sartorially brilliant look. This time, she embraced an elite-class charm in an elegant black midi dress. Hina Khan turned into the perfect muse for fashion brand Ozeqo. She sipped into an off-shoulder that was wrapped around her bodice like a second skin, offering a structured finish. The understated, solid black number did not need any adornments, and she served exactly that. The flared skirt, on the other hand, catered to the feminine chic vibe of the fit. Cinched at the waist, the high-rise silhouette plunged in length, creating subtle ruffles at the hem. Large rose and leaf prints in a deep shade of red dominated one side of the skirt. The little specks of black and white were the x-factor here. The vibrant hue on the monochrome wonder served as a much-needed contrast. We loved the bold interplay of colours. After all, when red meets black, it forms a fiery combination that screams timeless elegance. Hina just showed us how to nail it like an expert. View this post on Instagram A post shared by ???????????????? ???????????????? (@realhinakhan) Hina Khan complemented her date-night ready fit with the right makeup. She went with a dewy base that worked like magic on her flawless skin. Blushed cheeks with little contouring defined her features. She applied a soft shade of glossy peach-tinted lipstick that suited the overall aesthetic pf the look. Kohl-rimmed eyes, a stroke of classic black eyeliner and faux lashes curled with mascara intensified her gaze. Shimmery golden eyeshadow took her allure a notch higher. With her OOTD stealing the spotlight, Hina Khan opted for minimal accessories. She skipped the necklace and resorted to wearing a pair of pearl and diamond-encrusted danglers. A diamond ring sealed her jewellery outing. For the final touches, Hina Khan kept her hair open in waves, which framed her face like a true work of art. Hina Khan's style files are pure goals, and we are taking notes!

New Delhi: Neena Gupta is known for living life on her own terms. Her sartorial choices reflect her philosophy of life too - bold, unconventional, experimental, and all for the right reasons. Neena Gupta, who will share screen space with her frequent collaborator Anupam Kher in Anurag Basu's Metro In Dino, speaks to NDTV about her fashion, how she chooses outfits from daughter Masaba's [Gupta] brand, and how she deals with trolls. View this post on Instagram A post shared by House of Masaba (@houseofmasaba) Neena Gupta celebrated her 66th birthday on June 4, at the trailer launch of Metro... In Dino. For the occasion, she chose a white 'Rann Kaftan' from the House Of Masaba. A biscuit bra with gold charms completed her look. The actress's outfit did not escape caustic comments from trolls. When we ask her if she deliberately chooses to ruffle a few feathers with her outfits, Gupta says, "If I look at the comments below my post, there are 500 good comments and two who speak ill about me. Why should I care about those two comments? It's a free country; everyone has the right to speak their mind. And with the advent of social media, this freedom is exercised more often now." " Aap ko nahi achha laga, koi baat nahi. Mujhe jo achha laga, main woh karungi na (It's fine if you don't like me. I will do the things I like, right)?" says Neena Gupta. We agree. Neena Gupta often wears outfits from her daughter's brand. When we ask if she's Masaba's muse, Neena explains how she picks her outfits. View this post on Instagram A post shared by House of Masaba (@houseofmasaba) "I don't wear a lot of Masaba. I wear the things I like to wear. Actually, I like to wear clothes which suit my body structure. With age, you don't have the body which can carry certain outfits. I am very cautious and aware of the fact that the outfits don't look ugly on me," Neena Gupta tells NDTV. "I like to wear Masaba. But there are certain issues as well. They have a range of white outfits but they don't want me to wear white as the backdrop has to be in sync with the outfits. But I do wear Masaba when I want to wear them," says the actress. Neena Gupta boasts of a career spanning more than three decades. From daily soaps to films to OTT, Neena Gupta has defied age and fashion norms time and again with her unique approach to life, people and characters.

He was seen playing cricket in briefs with Akshay Kumar After being trolled for playing cricket in briefs, Tiger Shroff has now responded in his signature light-hearted style. In a new photo shared online, Tiger can be seen back on the cricket pitch—but this time, dressed more conventionally in track pants. Taking to his Instagram stories, Tiger is seen playing cricket in track pants and wrote, 'Track pants mein bhi yehi haal hai." Recently, his cricket video has sparked a frenzy on social media. In a now-viral video, the actor played cricket with Ganesh Acharya and others, wearing only his underwear and sports shoes. Tiger Shroff was the only scantily clad person in the video, and this led to a barrage of reactions on social media. While some praised him for his fitness, others trolled him for not wearing any clothes. Taking to his Instagram handle, Tiger shared a video in which they are seen enjoying match. Tiger can be seen comfortably batting and running around the pitch, completely shirtless and sporting just a pair of snug briefs. Akshay, meanwhile, looked sporty yet appropriately dressed in casual athletic wear. As expected, the contrasting styles didn't go unnoticed. 'Koi technique nhi par bahot jaan hai," read the caption. One of the fans wrote, 'Kapda pehan ke bhi khel sakata hai." Another wrote, 'Bhai kapde nhi hai kya." 'गल्ली क्रिकेट तो सुना था ,चढ्ढी क्रिकेट आज देखा" Meanwhile, Tiger Shroff was last seen in Singham Again. Before that, he appeared in Bade Miyan Chote Miyan. Directed by Ali Abbas Zafar, this high-octane action film featured Shroff alongside Akshay Kumar in a dynamic double act. The story followed two former soldiers racing against time to thwart a vengeful scientist's deadly plot against India. Despite its star-studded cast and ambitious scale, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan received mixed reviews and underperformed at the box office, marking Shroff's third consecutive commercial setback after Ganapath and Heropanti 2. Looking ahead, Shroff is set to return in the much-anticipated Baaghi 4. The film promises a darker and more intense narrative, with Shroff's character, Ronnie, taking on a global terror network. This instalment aims to elevate the franchise with its gritty action and emotional depth. First Published:
