Shilpa Shetty Makes A Statement In Embroidered Couture And A Statement Jhumka
For her latest look, Shilpa Shetty donned an embroidered jacket that she had paired with ivory pants. However, the star of the look was her intricate jhumka.
Shilpa Shetty continues to redefine the rules of Indian fashion with her fearless approach to styling. Known for her ability to oscillate between glamour and grace seamlessly, her latest ensemble is a textbook example of how to fuse ethnic craftsmanship with a tailored, modern silhouette – all while making a bold statement.
Recently, the actor took to Instagram to share a look that was as intricate as it was impactful. Clad in a meticulously embroidered jacket featuring kaleidoscopic motifs and geometric precision, Shilpa Shetty proves once again that fashion is storytelling. The jacket, which draws from traditional Indian embroidery styles, especially folk-inspired thread work, is a visual feast. Florals, paisleys, and mirror-inspired detailing come together in soft, jewel-toned hues across an ivory base, creating a striking balance between opulence and wearability.
But what elevates this from festive to fierce is the construction: the jacket's sharply tailored shoulders, cinched waist, and structured peplum hem give it a sculptural quality. The silhouette plays with proportion while still allowing the intricate handwork to remain front and centre. She styled it with a pair of flowing ivory draped pants, which offer movement and a sense of ease, letting the embellished jacket do all the talking.
Then, of course, there's the jewellery. Shilpa opted for oversized earcuff-style jhumkas, worn in an asymmetric fashion that instantly makes the look more editorial. The antique gold finish, encrusted details, and layered design add a regal punch, transforming the ensemble from elegant to arresting. Styled as a single, standout piece, the jhumka cascades down the ear like wearable art, framing her face while commanding attention without distraction.
Her beauty game was kept deliberately soft. With a neatly tucked bun, luminous skin, and nude-toned makeup, Shilpa allowed her accessories and garments to shine. The simplicity of her glam ensured nothing competed with the artistry of the look; instead, everything worked in perfect harmony.
This outfit is not just a celebration of Indian craftsmanship, it's a masterclass in how to modernise traditional textiles and jewellery for the contemporary woman.

'She is 28, earns ₹1.2 lakh per month': Influencer underscores rising trend of 'sunset chai experience', sparks debate
She doesn't have an MBA. There are no investors or delivery apps. Just a 4x9 ft balcony, a few cups of tea, and a unique idea that's quietly brewing across India. In a world increasingly dominated by startups, side hustles, and screens, one woman in Pune is showing that simple, offline experiences still have the power to win hearts-- and generate income. According to a now-viral LinkedIn post by Nitin Attri, the 28-year-old earns Rs1.2 lakh a month by hosting sunset chai experiences from the balcony of her 2BHK apartment in Pune. There's no fancy cafe, no cloud kitchen, and no elaborate logistics behind her venture. Instead, guests are invited into her home for an intimate gathering over regional teas, snacks, and local stories, with the backdrop of a Pune sunset. Mr Attri shared how she does it. The woman hosts 6–8 guests per session, serves traditional teas and homemade snacks, and shares personal or local stories as part of the experience. She charges between ₹ 1,400 and ₹ 2,000 per person and conducts 3–4 sessions every week. With minimal overhead and no digital marketing budget, her guests find her through Google Maps, Instagram reels, and word-of-mouth. 'People come for chai, but stay for the stories, the city view, and the break from their screens,' writes Attri in his post. What started as a one-woman initiative is now sparking a larger trend. From Kochi to Rishikesh, more Indians are exploring the idea of offering hyper-local, homegrown experiences from their living spaces. Some include live music, poetry, art workshops, or even cooking demos—turning a humble balcony into a cultural micro-hub. 'The balcony becomes the product. The host becomes the brand,' Attri notes. It's part of a broader shift in how people spend their weekends. With increasing screen fatigue and a desire for authentic, meaningful interactions, more urban dwellers are seeking offline, low-stimulation social experiences—and are willing to pay for them. While chai remains the centrepiece, it's clear that this model is about more than a hot beverage. It's about creating community in a fast-paced city, offering exclusivity in small, curated groups and turning everyday spaces into places of warmth and connection. The post caught the attention of internet users. A user commented, 'Love this !! Are we getting back to the good old days, spending time with friends and colleagues... If we are creating this culture, it is a great way of spending good time with like-minded people, discussing books n movies!' Another user wrote, 'People pay for experiences, which might be priceless or people whom they can meet, interact and learn. I remember many were ready to pay a million USD to have dinner with Warren Buffet.' 'Some of the best conversations I've had were whispered into the night air from a quiet balcony. I just love the concept….. a balcony with a view can turn out to be a great place to share your story,' the third user wrote. A section of the internet had a different view on this startup idea. A user wrote, 'Wow now people are making money based on this things but my question if someone has family and has own balcony why he would pay 1500 and go for some other ..May be in teenagers this can be a good idea but there is no scaleablity and longevity in this business model and the group of customers is so limited.'

I won't return unless it's for the kind of amazing central roles I've never had a chance to do before,' he said in his being known for commanding screen presence as a villain or side character, Vidyarthi believes he still has untapped potential as a lead actor . And he's actively pursuing it. 'I keep telling casting directors and producers: Just because I haven't been offered those roles yet doesn't mean I can't do them,' he than waiting passively, the veteran actor took a creative detour. 'I didn't want to just sit at home feeling depressed,' he admitted. 'So, I started motivational speaking — to uplift others, and honestly, to keep myself going too.'This pivot led him to develop Sit Down Ashish , a family-friendly comedy show devoid of crude jokes or innuendo. 'People had suggested I try comedy, so I created an entire set. It's a clean, feel-good show anyone can enjoy — something I'm genuinely proud of,' he his motivational talks and comedy sets, Ashish Vidyarthi is reaching audiences in ways traditional film roles never allowed.

Yet, central recognition in mainstream cinema has remained he remains hopeful. 'Yeh actor abhi zinda hai (This actor is still alive),' he quipped in his vlog, sending a clear message to filmmakers: Ashish Vidyarthi isn't done. He's simply waiting for the role he deserves.

Khushi Kapoor Shares Unseen Pic of Sridevi Ahead of Late Actress' 62nd Birth Anniversary
Khushi Kapoor shared an unseen photo of her late mother Sridevi ahead of her 62nd birth anniversary. The emotional post left fans teary-eyed. Ahead of what would have been Sridevi's 62nd birth anniversary on August 13, her younger daughter Khushi Kapoor took to social media to remember the legendary actress with a heartfelt gesture. Khushi, who made her acting debut with Zoya Akhtar's The Archies, shared an unseen throwback picture of her mother that left fans emotional. The photo, posted on Khushi's Instagram story, shows Sridevi in the late '90s, dressed in a floral pink top and matching pink jeans, flashing her radiant smile with open hair. While Khushi chose not to add any caption, the post itself spoke volumes. Sridevi, often hailed as the first female superstar of Indian cinema, passed away on February 24, 2018, in Dubai due to accidental drowning. Her sudden demise sent shockwaves across the nation. At the time, her elder daughter Janhvi Kapoor was in the middle of shooting her debut film Dhadak, which Sridevi, heartbreakingly, never got to see on the big screen. Following her passing, Sridevi's husband, producer Boney Kapoor, was left devastated. However, in the days that followed, his children from his first marriage — Arjun Kapoor and Anshula Kapoor — stepped up to support Janhvi and Khushi, helping strengthen their bond as a family. Khushi and Janhvi have both kept Sridevi's memory alive by often sharing unseen photos and remembering her at milestones — be it film debuts, birthdays, or anniversaries. On the professional front, Khushi Kapoor is still working to find her footing in Bollywood. After The Archies, she appeared in Nadaaniyan and Loveyapa, though both films failed to impress critics or audiences. She is currently preparing for her next slate of projects, with fans hoping to see her showcase her growth as an actor.
