Alia Bhatt shares behind-the-scene moments from her Cannes looks
Bollywood actress Alia Bhatt took to social media to give a glimpse behind the scenes of her glamorous appearances at Cannes 2025. Sharing candid moments from her makeup and styling sessions, the 'Raazi' actress showcased the fun and effort that went into creating her stunning red carpet looks. From intricate makeup routines to joyful moments enjoying live music, Alia's behind-the-scenes snippets revealed the personality and charm behind her elegant Cannes presence. On Wednesday, Bhatt posted a couple of her photos on Instagram and simply wrote, 'Cannes-dids okay bye, see you next year.' In the first image, Alia is seen wearing a bathrobe, applying lipstick while stylishly fixing her hair. In the next video, her makeup artist is applying red lipstick, followed by another clip showing her getting her eyelashes enhanced with mascara. She also shared photos of her stunning looks from Cannes 2025. Additionally, she posted a video from a restaurant where a singer is performing live. Notably, Bhatt's mother, Soni Razdan, was quick to take note of the actress' post as she reacted, writing, 'Best pics n best team.' For the closing ceremony, Alia Bhatt wore a look that was both breathtaking and rich in cultural meaning. She dazzled in a nude-toned, sequined, saree-inspired drape by Gucci and accessorized it with a matching silver mini handbag. In a video posted on her Instagram, the Student of the Year actress said, 'Today is the closing ceremony of the Cannes Film Festival 2025, and I am getting ready for the red carpet of the closing ceremony. This is my first time at the Cannes Film Festival. I am, of course, always excited, a bunch of nerves. I truly thrive in this sort of chaos.' 'It's a bit strange, I don't know why, but like the chaos always tends to find us. A couple of minutes ago, we had no electricity for the last four hours. So, Amit (Amit Thakur, her hairstylist) over here was actually taking my hair extensions, and he put it on a tong, and he put it out in the sun so that it could heat up because we had no electricity. We figured it out as we're going, but now we're very grateful and thankful that the electricity is back,' she added. Alia Bhatt kicked off her red carpet appearance in a stunning ivory Schiaparelli haute couture gown. Later, she turned heads in a dazzling second look-a jewel-adorned navy gown by Armani Privé at the prestigious festival. On the movie front, Alia will be seen in the upcoming all-female super spy film 'Alpha'. Directed by Shiv Rawail, 'Alpha' will mark the seventh film in Yash Raj Films' expansive spy universe. This universe began with the 'Tiger' franchise, starring Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif, starting with 'Ek Tha Tiger' and followed by 'Tiger Zinda Hai.' The saga continued with 'War,' 'Pathaan,' and 'Tiger 3.' Upcoming films in the franchise include 'War 2,' directed by Ayan Mukerji, 'Pathaan 2,' and 'Tiger vs. Pathaan. Indo-Asian News Service

Dibba Al Hisn Duo Theatre Festival concludes its 8th edition
'Profile 'concludes the shows The audience on the final night watched the Egyptian play 'Profile', performed by the "Layali Al-Masri" troupe. Nahed El-Tahan wrote the play, Enas Al-Masri provided dramaturgy and direction, and actors Mai Reda and Nashwa Mohammed performed. A fusion of mythology and literature The play presents an imaginative meeting between Medea—a mythological Greek figure who exacted brutal revenge on her unfaithful husband—and Amina, a character from Naguib Mahfouz's 'Cairo Trilogy'. In this portrayal, Amina is reimagined as a modern Egyptian woman who accepts her difficult life, dedicating herself to her family and running a TikTok cooking channel as a means of livelihood. Differing views on marriage The encounter between Medea and Amina, separated by centuries, highlights contrasting perspectives on marriage. Medea embodies anger and vengeance in response to betrayal, while Amina values preserving her home and caring for her daughters, overlooking her husband's marriage to another woman in his quest for a son. Enriched performance Staged in a realistic setting, the performance relied on dialogue to draw out the ideological divide between the two women. Video projections illustrated Medea's mythical journey from the sun to Earth and reflected Amina's engagement with social media. Music and sound effects helped transition between scenes and added emotional depth to specific moments. Critical session A post-performance critical session, moderated by Egyptian theatre artist Fady Nashat, saw participants commend the efforts of the team and the play's ambition in addressing the societal status of women. Diverse programme The eighth edition of the Dibba Al Hisn Duo Theatre Festival, which began on Friday, 23 May, featured five theatrical productions, including 'Profile'. Other performances included '17 Hours' by Sharjah National Theatre, 'Individual Salvation' by Syria's Tajamu Ashjar troupe, 'Life and Dream' by Morocco's Al-Shamat Theatre, and 'To Prepare a Boiled Egg ' by Kuwait Theatre. The festival also hosted the 20th Sharjah Arab Theatre Forum and held three workshops for school theatre facilitators in directing, scenography, and puppetry. A festival founded to foster theatrical exchange Established in 2016, the Dibba Al Hisn Duo Theatre Festival was launched in response to the directives of His Highness Sheikh Dr Sultan bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah, with the aim of expanding and diversifying theatrical activity in the emirate and building bridges of communication and knowledge exchange between Emirati and Arab theatre professionals.
