Last Updated: For her Abu Dhabi holiday, Samantha Ruth Prabhu twinned with the vast desert in an airy beige dress. Actor Samantha Ruth Prabhu was recently spotted at a luxurious getaway at the stunning Anantara Qasr Al Sarab in Abu Dhabi. The desert resort is one of the most sought-after destinations in Arabia. After sharing a sneak peek of the opulent property, Samantha took to her social media to give a glimpse into how she relaxed and let her hair down. While the pictures are totally postcard worthy, what has caught our eye is her stylish beige dress. Taking to her Instagram, Samantha Ruth Prabhu shared a series of pictures from her quick vacation in Abu Dhabi. She wrote, 'No wave remains, no storm can stay, All things must pass, then find their way." The pictures showed the actor soaking in the desert sun in a beige dress. Other pictures showed her lounging by the pool, watching the dunes, and simply enjoying the serenity. For her desert escape, Samantha embraced understated elegance in a beige maxi dress crafted from airy tissue fabric – an ideal choice for the warm, sun-soaked landscape. The dress featured a scoop neckline and a fluid, flattering silhouette that offered both ease and sophistication. Adding to the ensemble, she layered a matching long cape, creating a cohesive monochrome moment that was effortlessly chic. To complete the look, she opted for classic black sunglasses and sleek gold hoop earrings. Her makeup was kept minimal with defined lashes, a touch of blush, and a nude lip that let her natural glow shine through. Wearing her soft waves loose and flowing, Samantha exuded relaxed glamour in every frame. In an earlier post, Samantha shared snippets of her luxurious property. Perched on the balcony of a charming café, Samantha was seen taking in the breathtaking expanse of golden dunes and vast desert vistas.

Meet actor who made his debut with…, disappeared after giving two films, now has net worth more than Ranbir Kapoor, Ranveer Singh, owns Rs 10,000 company, he is…
Every year, many newcomers arrive to pursue their fortunes in the Bollywood industry and although some stars gleam brilliantly, others fade into obscurity following a string of unsuccessful films. Today, we will discuss a star kid who, despite not achieving box office success with his two films as an actor, now leads a company valued at Rs 10000 crore. The Lost But Successful Starkid Here we are talking about Girish Kumar Taurani, the son of Kumar S. Taurani, managing director of Tips Industries Limited, and the nephew of renowned Bollywood producer Ramesh Taurani, who has backed many star-studded blockbusters. Similar to nearly all starkids, Girish Kumar aspired to be an actor. He debuted in Bollywood with film Ramaiya Vastavaiya, alongside Shruti Haasan, which premiered in July 2013. Helmed by Prabhu Deva, which was a remake of his own Telugu film Nuvvostanante Nenoddantana and produced by his father Kumar S. Taurani, however, after its release, the movie performed poorly at the box office. Despite the setback, Girish did not lose hope. In 2016, he featured in Loveshhuda, helmed by Vaibhav Misra, alongside Navneet Kaur Dhillon. This movie also failed to perform well at the box office. Later, he featured in the third film, Collateral Damage, alongside actress Nivedita Bhattacharya, a short film highlighting an outdated practice in villages, which did not significantly affect his career. When Girish Decided To Leave The World Of Glitz and Glamour Following these repeated setbacks, Girish understood that acting was not his destined path. He left the film industry when he was 27. Nonetheless, his lack of success in acting did not prevent him from achieving success in Bollywood, which led him to join the family enterprise, Tips Industries, alongside his uncle. Reports indicate that Girish Kumar Taurani is currently the COO at Tips Industries, overseeing film production, distribution, and the music sector. As per Business Standard, the market valuation of Girish Kumar's firm, Tips Industry, exceeds Rs 10000 crores, which is more than many stars currently present in the industry. Girish Kumar's wealth is reported to be Rs 2,164 crores. Yet, he has now also turned into a family man. In 2016, he wed his childhood friend and girlfriend, Krishna Mangwani and they now have a child together. He currently resides in Mumbai with his family and enjoys his lavish and peaceful life.

While he became an actor, he had a lot of passion for astronomy and loved watching the stars. In an interview with Hindustan Times, Sushant Singh Rajput had shared, 'Engineering wasn't my choice. I wanted to be an astronaut, and later, an Air Force pilot. I remember tearing up my Top Gun poster when my parents told me that was not going to happen. Apparently, I was going to be an engineer. Maybe the drama I did that day should've given everyone a clue! But truly, I was gutted…' In his early days in the entertainment industry, he worked as a background dancer and was seen dancing behind Hrithik Roshan in the song 'Dhoom Again' in Dhoom 2.

Among the many things, she wrote how he used to be curious about everything around him. 'The conversations we had at shoot about the cosmos, different philosophies, the moments we spent together, were filled with magical wonderment! During a lovely musical and poetry filled gettogether at his home (he loved music and poetry), he showed me the moon from his telescope and I was so speechless that I could see it's exquisite beauty up close!' She further revealed his love for astronomy, and shared, 'Our Chhichhore gang went to his beautiful home in Pavna, where we were awestruck together with the peace and calm of the nature around us–he loved nature!

Wait, let me introduce you to this author, let me introduce you to this science.' In a conversation with IANS, Sushant's Sonchiriya co-star Manoj Bajpayee said, 'What I automatically recall about Sushant is how much interest he had about everything in life.

In her note, she shared, 'The first time we met, you told me you would show me the stars. In my head, I wondered–ya whatever, what a cheese ball. Little did I know you meant every word you said. With a smile full of pride you showed it to us. The massive big black hole, your best friend, your telescope. I was like, wait, what really, you got this here!' She added, 'You took us to the moon and back, I remember the moon being red then. You showed us Saturn, Jupiter, and a million stars. You challenged me to write with my left hand and narrate versus backwards. You challenged me to races and quizzes and it drove me nuts. You spoke of Faraday, Chatelet and tried explaining me Newton's theories through Art. You genius will live on with all the work you have done and through that telescope I will spot you again.' Veteran actor Ashutosh Rana, who was also a part of the critically acclaimed film Sonchirya, recalled in an interview with Bombay Times that Sushant had carried a telescope with him to Chambal during the shoot of Sonchiriya.
