What
Rahul Bhat, who was last seen in the Netflix series Black Warrant, was in Paris for the weekend where he encountered a "riot-like" situation after PSG defeated Inter Milan to win the Champions League for the first time since league's inception in 1955.
In one of the clips, the actor could be heard saying, "An evening in Paris socha tha yeh toh yeh toh literally an evening in Paris to remember hogayi (I thought it would be an evening in Paris, but this literally turned into an evening in Paris to remember). Look at that. They are going crazy because they won the match."
The text overlay on the clip read, "Next video: Paris going wild after tonight's win! (France national flag and fire emojis)."
Another video showed more vehicles and groups of people on the streets. The caption read, "It's like a riot out here--they have waited so long for this."
In another clip, he wrote, "Cops making arrests, wild ones unfazed. Pure madness in the streets!"
Rahul Bhat also shared a video in which several bikes were seen roaming the streets as people clapped. The actor geo-tagged the location as Avenue George V and wrote, "Felt like the opening scene of Purge, almost caught in a lathi charge."

Why
The celebration came on the heels of PSG's first-ever win in the Champions League, with the team defeating Inter Milan 5-0 on Sunday. The merrymaking took a tragic turn when two people were killed following clashes with police in Paris.
In A Nutshell
Rahul Bhat, who was recently in Paris, almost got lathicharged while shooting videos of the French city when violence broke out near the Champs-Elysees avenue and PSG's Parc des Princes stadium, where nearly 50,000 people had gathered to witness the club's 5-0 win against Inter Milan in Munich on big screens.
Last month, the actor was in Cannes, France to unveil the teaser of his Hollywood debut film Lost & Found in Kumbh at Marche du Cannes (Cannes Market) which runs parallel to the Cannes Film Festival.

NDPS court allows Rhea Chakraborty to travel abroad for work
MUMBAI: A special court under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act has permitted actor Rhea Chakraborty to travel abroad for professional commitments between June 1 and September 15. Chakraborty, who was booked in a drugs case linked to the death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput, has been granted leave to visit Sri Lanka, Serbia, and various European countries to shoot for a new project. In an order dated May 29, Special Judge CS Datir noted that Chakraborty had previously travelled abroad with the court's permission and had complied fully with all bail conditions. 'There is no occasion that she had infringed the bail conditions,' the court observed. Chakraborty was arrested by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) on September 8, 2020, along with her brother and others, on allegations of financing and procuring drugs for Rajput's consumption. The case followed a complaint by Rajput's father, which led to a wider investigation into drug use within the film industry. The Bombay High Court granted Chakraborty bail in October 2020. In her recent application, Chakraborty stated that she was required to travel for the filming of Stepsons S1, an international production. She requested temporary release of her passport for visa processing, adding that she had travelled abroad earlier without incident. The prosecution opposed the plea, arguing that there was no documentation confirming her role in the series and raising concerns about the possibility of her absconding. However, the court rejected these concerns, stating that Chakraborty is a Mumbai resident with 'deep roots in society', and held that the likelihood of her fleeing is minimal. 'Considering her request and keeping in mind her past behaviour, I am inclined to allow her to travel abroad for the aforesaid period,' the court ruled. The actor has been directed to submit her travel itinerary, including addresses and contact details of her stay abroad. In March this year, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) filed a closure report in the Sushant Singh Rajput death case, clearing Chakraborty of abetment charges. The CBI had taken over the probe from the Mumbai Police following Rajput's father's allegations.

Kim Kardashian finally reacts to mum Kris Jenner's new look for the first time; here's what she said
Kris Jenner's face is doing what most can't: turning back time—and Kim Kardashian is officially here for it. The 69-year-old Kardashian matriarch sent social media into a frenzy after unveiling what can only be described as her most dramatic glow-up yet, with a look so youthful, it left fans — and dermatologists — questioning. While Hollywood is no stranger to subtle tweaks and tune-ups, Kris' transformation appears to have jumped ahead a few chapters in the anti-ageing playbook, leaving biohacker Bryan Johnson behind at his own game. The conversation reached a boiling point when Kim Kardashian finally broke her silence about her mom's new look. And in true Kim fashion, the billionaire SKIMS founder did it with equal parts wit and subtle shade. On her Instagram Stories, Kim shared a photo of longtime friend and celebrity hairstylist Chris Appleton, who was spotted rocking a bold T-shirt that read: 'I'LL HAVE WHAT KRIS JENNER IS HAVING.' Kim captioned the image: '@chrisappleton1 me too babe!!!' While Kris has remained somewhat tight-lipped about the exact details of her latest transformation, she's no stranger to being open about her cosmetic journey. Her past enhancements have been well-documented—sometimes even serving as subplots on Keeping Up With the Kardashians. One fan-favourite moment? The now-famous earlobe reduction, which Kris pursued after a passing comment from Kim left her obsessing over the size of her ears. 'All I want is just cute ears,' Kris said candidly during the episode. 'Ever since Kim made a comment about my ears, I've always wondered. Now I'm looking in the mirror obsessively like, 'Are they too big?'' According to Kris, she did some research and found out that both the nose and ears continue to grow with age. 'I think that the decision to do something about my ever-changing ears is suddenly a priority,' she said. A post shared by Kris Jenner (@krisjenner) Of course, no discussion of the Kardashian-Jenner beauty dynasty would be complete without acknowledging their longtime love affair with injectables. Botox, in particular, has always held a special place in Kris' beauty routine. 'It's a one-stop shop for me. And who doesn't love Botox?' Kris once told People magazine. 'If you're responsible and talk to your doctor, I think it works. It's something I've been using for a long time.' Despite the glam, Kris insists her routine is simpler than one might think: 'A massage, a great facial, a manicure, and a little Botox—and I'm good to go. I'm pretty traditional. As long as I'm clean and scrubbed up, I'm a happy camper.' One thing's clear: whatever Kris is having, everyone wants it.
