Actress Rashmika Mandanna says she loves the smell of the first rain
Actress Rashmika Mandanna says she loves the smell of the first rain, although she's not a big fan of how it tends to slow everything down. Rashmika took to Instagram and shared a reel of the rain, accompanied by a quote that read: 'The scent of Mother Earth when it rains.'
'So the rains are backkkk.. I'm not a big fan of how they make everything a little slower where we're working but my god!! The smell of the first rain it's the best smell and feeling You know what I mean? It's the loveliest,' she wrote as the caption.
On the professional front, Rashmika has her diary full with Aditya Sarpotdar's 'Thama,' co-starring Ayushmann Khurrana, along with 'Kubera,' 'Pushpa 3', 'The Girlfriend,' and 'Rainbow.'
On May 20, the actress looked stunning in black as she strutted the red carpet during the Zee Cine Awards 2025. The 'Animal' actress was seen carrying a black contemporary fusion saree with utmost grace. Her blouse included a deep sweetheart neckline with a net waist. She accessorised her look with golden heart-shaped earrings and brown toned makeup. The stunner decided to leave her hair open with a middle parting.
'After a while, I was back on the red carpet again...All the love pouring in makes my heart so happy. Just wanted to show you what I wore that day..', Rashmika wrote in the caption.
Thanking her team, she added, 'Biggest shoutout to my team.. they've always got my back. The only way I survive these incredibly tough, busy days is because of them and my family. Bone-crushing hugs to each one of you.' Her latest film was 'Chhaava', which was screened at Maharashtra's remote tribal district of Gadchiroli in an inflatable cinema hall. Based on the life of Sambhaji Maharaj, filmmaker Laxman Utekar's Dinesh Vijan-produced 'Chhaava' served as the perfect film to encourage footfalls and cinema viewing culture in the region.
Meanwhile, Rashmika introduced her InstaFam to her new best friend. She shared heartwarming moments that reflect her growing bond with her new BFF — the lovable, fuzzy blue alien Stitch. Taking to Instagram, the 'Animal' actress posted a video titled 'A Day in Rashmika's Life with Her New BFF Stitch.' The clip shows Rashmika getting goofy with Stitch during her shoot, playfully interacting with him during photoshoots and restaurant outings. The video ends on a charming note, with Mandanna asking, 'Stitch, do you want to be my date?'
Sharing this amusing clip, the 'Pushpa' actress wrote, 'Too cute to handle, too crazy to miss. My bestie stitch is making me simp with madness and bliss! 'Lilo & Stitch' is an upcoming American science fiction comedy-drama film directed by Dean Fleischer Camp and written by Chris Kekaniokalani Bright and Mike Van Waes. It is a hilariously heartwarming tale of a lonely Hawaiian girl whose life takes an unexpected turn when a runaway alien enters her world and helps heal the rifts in her fractured family.

Weekend Ease: 37 lounge sets that redefine the art of lounging
Fashion by Aminath Ifasa 6 mins ago There's a quiet luxury in surrendering to the weekend's slow rhythm, where the only agenda is comfort—and looking effortlessly polished while at it. Gone are the days when lounge sets meant oversized sweats and faded tees; today's refined sets blur the line between relaxation and understated elegance. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Tia Lineker (@tialineker) This season's offerings, from Loro Piana's whisper-soft cashmere to Skims' sculpted, buttery fabrics, prove that downtime dressing can be just as intentional as a night-out ensemble. Ralph Lauren's timeless knit sets bring a touch of Hamptons ease, while The Giving Movement's eco-conscious designs merge laid-back vibes with guilt-free indulgence. Even high-fashion labels are reimagining at-home wear, ensuring that whether you're curled up with a book or hosting an impromptu brunch, your outfit remains as considered as your plans (or lack thereof). The modern loungewear philosophy? Effortlessness shouldn't mean sacrificing style—it should elevate it. These lounge sets, whether Ralph Lauren's cable-knit serenity or Skims' second-skin comfort, aren't just clothes; they're a sensory experience, wrapping you in softness while keeping your aesthetic instincts satisfied. The Giving Movement's sustainable silhouettes and Loro Piana's investment-worthy cocoons offer something deeper than mere aesthetics: a permission slip to slow down without apology. In a world that demands constant motion, the art of lounging becomes a subtle act of rebellion—one where you dictate the tempo, clad in fabrics that feel as good as they look. So as you sink into the couch or pad around your space, remember: the best weekends aren't just spent in comfort, but in pieces that make stillness feel like a celebration. – For more on luxury lifestyle, news, fashion and beauty follow Emirates Woman on Facebook and Instagram Images: Supplied & Feature Image: Pinterest

Hollywood star Scarlett Johansson discusses the road ahead in acting
Hollywood star Scarlett Johansson said she remains committed to acting in projects she'd personally enjoy watching, even as she makes her directorial debut with the new drama film 'Eleanor the Great.' The 40-year-old actress stepped behind the camera for the first time on the drama film which follows 94-year-old Eleanor Morgenstein who moves to New York after years living with her late best friend many States away to live with her daughter and forms an unlikely friendship with a 19-year-old journalism student. Johansson will be seen on screen in the upcoming film 'Jurassic World Rebirth' as covert operative Zora Bennett and, although she found directing to be creatively rewarding, she still is up for roles in the right movies, reports The actress specifically wants to star in films that have the potential to attract audiences to the cinema. In an interview with Collider, she said: 'My intention is to work on projects I would go and see, whether they're like 'Jurassic World' or this film. 'The commerciality of things is also important to me, too. Would audiences want to see this, too? Is this generally interesting? Those are things I look for and focus on and care about. So, we'll see, I guess. I'm certainly still an actor for hire — I want that to be widely printed.' Johansson screened 'Eleanor the Great' at the Cannes Film Festival and she has said she shed many tears when directing on set because of the movie's emotional story. The 'Black Widow' star hopes the film will have the same effect on audiences as she learned long ago that it is a powerful thing to be able to cry over a movie in public. Scarlett said: 'The script made me cry, and so I knew there would be potential for tears, of course. Then, to cut it together - I've seen it a bajillion times, and it still makes me cry. It touches me in different moments. I love to cry in movies. When I was younger, I was a teenager, I used to stop myself from crying, and it was so painful. I think the greatest physical pain is holding in a cry. It hurts so much. Then, at some point in my life, I was like, 'What am I doing? I'm just going to let loose and cry in this theatre.' It was so liberating. 'It feels so good to cry in a theatre with a whole bunch of people.' For Scarlett, humour is a huge part of her life, and said that she couldn't imagine 'being with somebody who wasn't funny'. The Hollywood star, who is married to comedian Colin Jost, told Collider: 'My husband's a comedy writer, and I couldn't imagine ever being with somebody who wasn't funny. I grew up in a very funny household.' Indo-Asian News Service
