Fans are not just interested in their movies but also want to know more about their personal lives.

She has won hearts with her strong performances in films like Dostana, Fashion, Mary Kom, Krrish 3, Bajirao Mastani, The Sky is Pink, and of course, who can forget Barfi? With all these clues, you've probably guessed it already — yes, we're talking about the one and only Priyanka Chopra.
The latest buzz is that Priyanka Chopra will be seen in Krrish 4, India's popular superhero film series, alongside Hrithik Roshan. She will be returning as Priya Mehra, a role she has played since the beginning of the franchise. According to media reports, casting her again felt like an obvious decision because she knows the character well and has great on-screen chemistry with Hrithik. The two have also worked together in Agneepath.
Reports also say that Priyanka Chopra might be part of legendary director SS Rajamouli's upcoming film SSMB29, one of the most anticipated movies currently in production. According to Bollywood Hungama, Priyanka could become the highest-paid actress in India with this project. It's rumoured that she is being paid around ₹30 crore, which is more than what stars like Deepika Padukone and Kareena Kapoor have received for their roles.

10 international desserts that look so Indian!
1 2 Some desserts from around the world look so much like Indian classics, you'd think they came straight from a familiar sweet shop. Fluffy layers, golden syrup, thickened milk, rose and cardamom hints make it seem like global sweets have been taking inspiration from Indian mithai for a long time. Whether it's a flaky pastry that brings to mind a gujiya or a chilled pudding that reminds you of phirni, these treats travel across countries while holding on to a desi charm. These lookalikes don't just match Indian sweets in appearance — they share textures, ingredients, and even how they're enjoyed. Some are steamed, some are fried, and most carry that warm, celebratory feeling. The highlight is that each one brings a unique twist while still tasting close to home. Here is a list of international desserts that could easily be mistaken for Indian favourites at first glance or first bite. Baklava (Turkey) With its flaky layers, chopped nuts, and sticky sweetness, baklava feels like it could be related to soan papdi or gujiya. The mix of rich buttery flavour and sugar syrup gives it an instantly familiar taste. It's one of those desserts that feels both new and nostalgic at the same time. Basbousa (Middle East) This soft, grainy cake made with semolina and soaked in syrup feels just like a syrupy rava cake. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo It's often topped with almonds and has a subtle coconut note, like a fusion between a barfi and halwa. Kanafeh (Levant) Made with shredded pastry, melted cheese, and rose-scented syrup, kanafeh looks like a luxurious twist on Indian sweets like chena toast or malai sandwich. The contrast of textures is pure magic. Tres Leches (Latin America) This milk-soaked sponge cake gives strong rasmalai energy. Soft and soaked in sweet milk, it's a rich, creamy experience that's surprisingly similar to Indian milk-based desserts. Loukoumades (Greece) These little deep-fried dough balls dipped in honey and sprinkled with cinnamon could easily be mistaken for mini gulab jamuns. They're light, airy, and just as addictive. Mochi (Japan) Soft, chewy, and filled with red bean or custard, mochi looks a lot like modaks or stuffed rice dumplings. Their minimal sweetness and smooth texture give them a very familiar festive feel. Malabi (Israel) This milk pudding topped with rose water and crushed nuts feels a lot like phirni. Served cold and gently flavoured, it ticks all the Indian dessert boxes. Crème Caramel (France) This wobbly custard with a caramel top looks like a firni-flan hybrid. Its silky texture and milky richness make it feel like something straight out of an Indian thali. Churros (Spain) Long, fried dough sticks rolled in sugar feel a lot like shakkarpara or balushahi in a different form. Add a dipping sauce and it becomes a great tea-time treat. Dondurma (Turkey) This stretchy, chewy ice cream made with mastic and salep has the cool creamy charm of kulfi. It is dense, rich and takes time to melt making each bite feel just right.

Sonali Bendre agreed to receive Michael Jackson at airport with Raj Thackeray in 1996 on this condition
Sonali Bendre is the only Bollywood actor to have had the opportunity to welcome the late pop sensation Michael Jackson when he visited India for his HIStory World Tour in 1996. Sonali, along with politician Raj Thackeray, played a key role in the grand welcome of Michael Jackson to India in 1996. (Also Read: Salman Khan makes it difficult to like him: Sonali Bendre shares how he made her angry during Hum Saath Saath Hain shoot) Sonali was dressed in a traditional nine-yard saree and greeted Michael at the Mumbai airport with an Indian ritual by applying tilak (a sacred mark on the forehead) and performing aarti. Now, nearly 29 years later, Sonali has opened up about the behind-the-scenes events that led her to be a part of that iconic moment. In an interview with ANI, the Sarfarosh actor said that she was approached by Raj Thackeray's wife, Sharmila Thackeray, for the welcoming ceremony of Michael Jackson at the Mumbai Airport (Bombay Airport at that time). "They told me that you need to come and do that and be somebody who got in touch with me. I think it was Sharmila, Raj's wife. Sharmila's mother and my masi (aunt) have been friends for a long time, and she said, 'why don't you do it' (welcoming Michael Jackson)," said Sonali. However, it was not easy to convince the actor, who was at the peak of her career at the time. She agreed to receive Michael at the airport, but only on one condition. "I was like, okay, but then I want great tickets for the show and all of that with my friends. So I did it because I was getting these tickets to enter where I could take my friends and go to the show. My sister, sister's friends and all of that. We had this great seating. That's what I was so excited about when I did it," added Sonali. The HIStory World Tour included Michael visiting numerous countries and performing for millions of fans. Michael's concert in Mumbai was a highlight of the tour, as it is fondly remembered for his cultural moment in India. In the same interview, Sonali also criticised gossip surrounding her and Raj Thackeray at that time and said, 'I don't know. I mean, a lot of people... I think it's just not in very good taste when people talk about it like that. First of all, I mean, there are families involved and people involved in all of that.'

Badshah defends his ‘make babies with' tweet for Dua Lipa, calls it a compliment; trolls say ‘wahiyat cover-up'
On June 6, at 4 am in the morning, Indian rapper Badshah shared a tweet, which simply read: 'Dua lipa ❤️.' While some thought this was a post expressing admiration for Albanian singer and songwriter Dua Lipa, others wondered if Badshah is hinting at a collaboration. A hopeful fan even asked, 'Are you making a track with her bhai ? 🤩🤯.' But Badshah's unexpected answer left several irked when the rapper replied, 'Id rather make babies with her bro.' Within hours, he became fodder for trolls across the internet, who slammed Badshah for his inappropriate remark. Badshah was brutally trolled online for his 'make babies with' tweet for Dua Lipa. For instance, a social media user claimed, 'EWWWWW what a creep. Women really cant catch a break online or IRL,' whereas another disgusted internet user wrote, 'WHAT'S WITH THIS "HAVE BABIES" JOKE? How can you say that and not be so disgusted with yourself you want to bathe!' Another troll shared, 'Cringe why acting like a nibba no class agh🤮🤮🤮.' Well, Badshah has now hit back at the trolls with a new tweet. Defending his earlier post, the rapper wrote: 'I think one of the most beautiful compliments that you could give to a woman that you really admire is to wish for her to mother your children. Meri soch nahi tumhari soch saamne aayi hai.' Badshah probably thought this was a befitting response. However, netizens are now trolling him even more, mocking his 'cover up'. One such internet user stated, 'Kaisa wahiyat cover-up tha bhai,' whereas another wrote, 'ur comment about dua lipa was not just offensive it was downright cheap pls spare us the act of playing saint now.' An angry tweet read, 'Wtf... that is sexual harrasment in the most explicit terms, Badshah,' while another comment said, 'That was a clever way to defend and hide your crude remarks about wanting to get another woman pregnant. Grow up, weirdo!' Agreeing, a social media user shared, 'Bhai cover up thik se karliya karo 😭.' What are your thoughts on Badshah's unconventional 'compliment' for Dua Lipa?
