Social media star Farhana Bodi's journey beyond borders
Indian-origin millionaire and social media star Farhana Bodi, best known for her stint in reality show Dubai Bling, is a woman who transcends borders. Raised across Africa, India, and the Middle East, she has built a global brand that's equal parts heritage and high fashion. Social media star Farhana Bodi(Photo: Instagram) From the sets of reality TV shows to red carpets around the world, the businesswoman and content creator embodies the art of celebrating where you come from — while never standing still. 'I've been surrounded by such diverse beauty and tradition. My style is a reflection of that. I love mixing global trends with heritage pieces — whether it's a silk sari-inspired silhouette with a modern twist or a bold African print paired with high fashion,' she says, adding that choosing one culture over another is never the goal; it's about honoring all parts of herself through her style. While social media made her a household name, the constant scrutiny can be taxing. 'Staying 'on' all the time can be exhausting. But real life has off days, and I think it's important to show those too,' she admits. No matter the platform, her Indian heritage remains at the heart of her identity. 'It's my way of saying, 'I know where I come from.' That touch of India is not just fashion — it's memory, pride, and emotion woven into every thread,' she says. 'Indian fashion has taught me how to be bold, how to wear colour with confidence, and how to embrace femininity in all its strength," she says. Looking ahead, she sees herself as a bridge between Indian craftsmanship and the global stage. 'Indian fashion is going global. I see myself championing fusion and wearing our culture with pride.' If Dubai fuels her ambition, it also inspires her creativity: anything feels possible. 'It's bold and always just like me.' Farhana's most personal project, I Woman of the World, aims to spark change for women everywhere. 'I wanted to build a space where women could connect, rise, and own their voice. It's about breaking barriers — cultural, societal, personal.' At the core of everything she does is a commitment to showing up authentically. 'For me, authenticity means showing up as I am, even when it's not picture perfect. In a world that profits off insecurity, choosing to be real is a radical act.'

I don't think there ever will be, till the time I live, I will not allow this to happen." Earlier, talking to The New Indian, Boney Kapoor opened up about his wife's death. He stated, "It was not a natural death, it was an accidental death.

In Fact, the officer said that we had to do this, we had to go through this because there was a lot of pressure from the Indian media. They discovered there was no foul play. I went through all the interrogation, including the lie detector. The report which came clearly stated that it was an accidental death by drowning."

‘Parineeta': Vidya Balan auditioned 75 times before landing the role of Lalita; Aishwarya Rai was the FIRST choice for it
The film 'Parineeta', based on Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay's famous Bengali novel from 1914, is all set to re-release in cinemas to mark its 20th anniversary. This re-release celebrates not only the timeless story but also the incredible journey of Vidya Balan , who made her debut with 'Parineeta'. When the film first came out in 2005, it was praised by critics and loved by audiences. Directed by the late Pradeep Sarkar , the film starred Sanjay Dutt, Vidya Balan, and Saif Ali Khan , and featured music by Shantanu Moitra that added to its charm. Aishwarya Rai was the first choice Producer Vidhu Vinod Chopra revealed in 2012 during a press interview that his first choice for the lead role was Aishwarya Rai. He said, 'When we thought of 'Parineeta', I immediately thought of a face like Aishwarya Rai. The character of the girl is like two men falling in love with her…so the heroine has to be bigger.' But the director had other plans. Pradeep Sarkar told him about Vidya Balan. Chopra said, 'I was like let me see what she can do.' After testing Vidya, he added, 'But then we tested and tried her (Vidya) and she cleared it.' Vidya Balan auditioned 75 times! Composer Shantanu Moitra shared a moving story about Vidya's struggle. In a past interview with IANS, he recalled, 'This story is for those people who think that enough is enough, let's give up. The girl auditioned about 75 times and got rejected every single time. Can you imagine her self-worth?' Shantanu remembered how the director kept asking for new looks for Vidya during auditions. 'At that time, many top actresses were giving the same auditions as well and calling him for a role. Think about the pressure on that girl!' he said. After her 75th rejection, Vidya went to a Bryan Adams concert to cheer herself up. Shantanu said, 'At that time, Pradeep said that 'let's do one last audition' and around 3:30, she quickly came and gave the test with the belief that it won't happen and after her test, she left for the concert.' Vidya eventually landed the role after multiple auditions. Why 'Parineeta' means so much to Vidya? According to DNA, Vidya Balan in a statement said that, 'This is a very emotional moment for me. 'Parineeta' is where it all began… Every frame of the film holds a piece of my heart, and I will always be grateful to Pradeep da and Mr Chopra for believing in me.' She added, 'I owe a lot to this film for who I am as an artist. Even after so many years, people remember this film, its songs and how it made them feel. People say every frame of the film is like a painting… and that is the magic of Pradeep Sarkar… so I hope people and the new generation will be able to discover old-fashioned love through 'Parineeta'.'
