Sobhita Dhulipala's unseen pictures from Akhil Akkineni's wedding to Zainab Ravdjee go viral
Actor Sobhita Dhulipala on Sunday (June 15) posted a mid-June 'photo dump' on her Instagram profile, which also featured some unseen clicks from brother-in-law Akhil Akkineni's wedding with Zainab Ravdjee earlier this month. One of the pictures featured Sobhita, dressed in a striking red saree, hugging her father-in-law, veteran actor Nagarjuna Akkineni.
The carousel, captioned 'June so far,' also featured a picture of Sobhita, wearing a gorgeous black dress, with a flower tucked behind her ear. Another picture showed the actor, in an orange anarkali, dancing at the baaraat celebrations. The actor, as she had in her previous photo dumps, added memes, selfies, 'life out-takes,' and quotes to the series.
Earlier this month, Sobhita shared a picture with her husband, Naga Chaitanya, and the newlyweds, Akhil and Zainab, from the wedding.
Akhil's wedding with Zainab, artist, entrepreneur, and the daughter of industrialist Zulfi Ravdjee, was a grand affair. The couple wed at a traditional Telugu-style wedding in Hyderabad on June 6 with the presence of their loved ones, including Akhil's mother and actor Amala Akkineni.
The couple were in a relationship for three years before their engagement in November 2024. 'Found my forever. Happy to announce that Zainab Ravdjee and I are engaged,' Akhil had posted on social media in November.

Pack loud, sip chic, nap cute: The quirkiest travel accessories you need
A family going for vacation (AI image for representational purposes) Travelling isn't just about where you're going — it's about how you're getting there and what you're bringing along for the ride. This season, it's time to swap boring basics for watermelon-shaped neck pillows, pastel water bottles that double as accessories, and wearable fans that keep you cool and cute. Whether you're glamping in the hills or chasing sunsets by the sea, the right travel gear should be equal parts functional, fashionable, and fun. Neck fans are the new cool Handheld fans are passé. This season, it's all about neck fans that look like headphones but work like a portable AC. Lightweight and USB-rechargeable, these are perfect for sweaty airport lines, hot hikes, or sun-drenched city strolls. Extra cool points if yours lights up or comes in neon pastels. Bags with a twist Goodbye boring black luggage. Hello squishy totes, quirky slings, and jelly bags in baguette prints. 'This year, travel isn't just about where you're headed; it's also about how you express yourself along the way,' says Disha Singh, founder of Zouk. 'Travellers today are choosing bold, quirky designs that reflect their individuality and culture. It's not just about carrying your essentials — it's about carrying a part of your story. ' Quirky totes (Image Source: Instagram/ @the_madras_kadai) Suitcase, but make it sassy Custom luggage covers are having a moment. From retro cartoon prints to cheeky quotes and even pet portraits, your suitcase can now double as your personality on wheels. 'Luggage is no longer just about utility—it's a style statement,' says Naina Parekh, CEO of Eume. 'People are choosing vibrant colours, smart compartments, and ergonomic designs. It's about travelling proud — and organised.' Mesh sliders, fancy sandals and quirky flip-flops Mesh sliders, strappy sandals and foam flip-flops topped with oversized fruit charms are the season's unofficial uniform. 'For Indian weather, footwear needs to do more than just look good,' says Prateek Singhal, co-founder of Yoho. 'Mesh uppers allow air circulation and help prevent irritation or odour from sweat.' And as Natasha Dua, founder of Lino Perros, puts it: 'Style should never feel like a costume — it should feel like you, on your most confident day. ' Box: Sip in style Hydration has had a glow-up. Collapsible silicone bottles, pastel sippers, unique tumblers, and fruit-infuser flasks are being matched with outfits. 'We're seeing tumblers become the unexpected style statement of the season,' says Ackshay Jain, CEO of Culture Circle. 'Travellers are treating them like sneakers — picking colourways for different occasions.' Unique tumblers (Image Source Instagram/@fortheloveofpixiedust) Box: Grooming, but make it cute Travel grooming kits no longer need to look like first-aid boxes. Think cute mini perfume bottles, pastel soap cases, and chic sanitiser sprays. Also, don't forget the essentials: 'Precision razors, non-chromium nail clippers and skin-friendly tools are key to staying well-groomed on the move,' says Hitesh Singla, head of marketing at Kai India. Unique sanitizer cases (Image Source: Instagram @tumblrarrchive) Box: Snooze in style Catch those Zzz's on the go with eye masks that say 'Do Not Disturb', 'Nap Queen' or even have eyes painted open. Match them with plush earmuffs for in-flight snoozing in style. Watermelon shaped neck pillow (Image Source: Instagram/@yunicorner1)

Farhan Akhtar Celebrates 21 Years Of Lakshya, Calls It A Story About Finding Purpose
Mumbai: Actor-filmmaker Farhan Akhtar took a moment to celebrate a major milestone as his directorial venture 'Lakshya' completed 21 years since its release. Marking the occasion on social media, Akhtar reflected on the film's enduring impact, calling it 'a story about finding purpose.' Released in 2004, the coming-of-age drama starring Hrithik Roshan continues to hold a special place in Indian cinema for its powerful narrative and inspiring message. On Wednesday, Farhan Akhtar took to his Instagram handle and shared a video compiling memorable moments from the film, captioning it: 'Celebrating 21 years of a story about finding purpose, one step at a time. #21YearsOfLakshya.' He also tagged the cast of the film in his post, acknowledging their contribution to the memorable journey of 'Lakshya.' Released in 2004, Lakshya—meaning "Aim"—was a powerful coming-of-age war drama that marked Farhan Akhtar's second directorial venture. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Farhan Akhtar (@faroutakhtar) Backed by producer Ritesh Sidhwani and written by veteran lyricist and screenwriter Javed Akhtar, the film brought together an impressive cast including Hrithik Roshan, Preity Zinta, and Amitabh Bachchan. Inspired by conversations with Indian Army officers and veterans of the 1999 Kargil War, Javed Akhtar crafted a compelling narrative centered on Karan Shergill, a directionless young man from a privileged Delhi background. As the story unfolds, Karan transforms into a courageous soldier, finding both his identity and purpose on the battlefield. The film remains a celebrated portrayal of personal growth, national pride, and the spirit of the armed forces. Also starring Boman Irani, Om Puri, Lillete Dubey, Kushal Punjabi, Sharad Kapoor, Sushant Singh, and Parmeet Sethi, the film was released on 18 June 2004. Meanwhile, Farhan Akhtar is gearing up for the release of his upcoming action drama '120 Bahadur,' which pays tribute to Major Shaitan Singh Bhati, PVC, and the soldiers of Charlie Company, 13 Kumaon Regiment. Set against the backdrop of the 1962 Indo-Sino War, the film draws inspiration from the legendary Battle of Rezang La, where acts of unparalleled bravery and sacrifice etched their place in history. '120 Bahadur' is slated to hit theatres on November 21, 2025.

The Traitors: Accused of black magic, astrologer Janvee Gaur is the show's ‘most disliked contestant', accused of manipulation by Maheep Kapoor
Amazon Prime Video's reality show The Traitors has been grabbing a lot of attention on social media. While the show is making headlines for its mixed bunch of contestants, there are a few who are not quite as well known. One such contestant is celebrity tarot reader Janvee Gaur. Right from her first day on the show, Janvee has not gotten along well with the contestants. While she has been keeping to herself, her silence has bothered many of her co-contestants. The major reason why Janvee chose to be aloof in the initial days of the show was due to an offensive comment made by comedian Harsh Gujral. During a random conversation between Janvee and Harsh, the latter joked about Janvee doing black magic when he learned that she was an astrologer. This joke did not sit well with Janvee, and it led her to distance herself from other contestants as the show started. While she later confronted Harsh about his comment, she continues to be the most disliked contestant on the show. Also Read: The Rebel Kid aka Apoorva Mukhija makes explosive claims about The Traitors, reveals Karan Johar personally interviewed contestants: 'I lied about lots of things to be on the show' A post shared by Janvee Gaurr (@janvigaur) Janvee Gaur, currently seen as a participant on The Traitors, is a celebrity tarot card reader. She is also an astrologer, a psychic, and a spiritual life coach. She has a son, Abhishek Gaur, who is an actor and a musician. Janvee's total fan following on Instagram is 64.1 K, and she is seen providing spiritual guidance daily to her followers on social media. While Janvee had a decent start on the show, right from the second day, she started experiencing hostility from other contestants. This happened because many felt Janvee was not mingling with them and was a 'traitor'. Many even argued with Janvee that if she didn't speak to people on the show, they wouldn't count her as a team player? On day 2, Janvee was tagged as a 'weak innocent' who shouldn't be kept in the game. A post shared by Janvee Gaurr (@janvigaur) In one of the videos from the show, Janvee reacted to this dislike from others, and said, 'I have designed my life in a way where I have the privilege of not pleasing people, and I don't do that. It's not a battle I choose.' On the show, Janvee seems to have a serious rivalry with Maheep Kapoor. Maheep even accused Janvee of manipulating others and setting a false narrative about her. The Traitors streams on Amazon Prime Video every Thursday at 8 pm. Other contestants who have seen the show are Rapper Raftaar, Harsha Gujral, Jasmine Bhasin, Aashish Vidyarthi, Sudhanshu Pandey, Apoorva Mukhija, Uorfi Javed, Maheep Kapoor, Anshula Kapoor, Purav Jha, Sufi Motiwala, Jannat Zubair, and Nikita Luther. Others who got evicted from the show were Lakshmi Manchu, Sahil Salathia, Raj Kundra, and Karan Kundrra.
