A familiar face at international fashion events, such as the Met Gala, Natasha Poonawalla is recognised for her bold style, philanthropic initiatives and business acumen. She is the executive director of the Serum Institute of India (SII), one of the world's largest vaccine manufacturers and is married to SII CEO Adar Poonawalla.

Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's wedding has taken over Venice this week, with 200 high-profile guests in attendance. While the couple has kept details under wraps, reports suggest that the official ceremony will be held on the picturesque island of San Giorgio Maggiore.
Guests were requested not to bring gifts. Instead, Bezos and Sanchez are making charitable donations on behalf of attendees to organisations focused on preserving Venice's heritage and environment, including the UNESCO Venice Office and CORILA.
'This magical place has gifted us unforgettable memories,' read the wedding invite. 'Our hope is that through these efforts and by you joining us, Venice will continue to inspire wonder for generations to come.'

EXCLUSIVE: Kunal Kemmu NOT approached for Brooklyn Nine Nine Indian remake; details of pilot episode inside
The American cop-comedy series Brooklyn Nine Nine, starring Andy Samberg, the late Andre Braugher, Melissa Fumero, Stephanie Beatriz, Terry Crews, Joe Lo Truglio and Chelsea Perretti, has become a cult classic over the years. And now, it is getting an adaptation in Hindi for the Indian audience. Kunal Kemmu; a still from Brooklyn Nine Nine Recent reports stated that Rishab Seth, who has directed Dhoom Dhaam and the recently released Mistry, is going to be helming the show, but seems like it's all a bit in the early stages. And now a source close to the development informs us, 'The makers do have a strong desire to bring out the Indian adaptation, but it is at a very nascent stage. Nothing is signed or confirmed as of yet and they are still looking out for a platform.' Reports also suggested that actor Kunal Kemmu has been approached to play the lead character, essayed by Andy in the original. However, that isn't the case. 'The casting of Kunal Kemmu is a complete rumour. His name has been discussed among the makers due to his impeccable comic timing, but he has not been a part of those discussions yet and nothing has been taken to him. The casting process is still a few months away,' the source shares, giving an important update on the show. 'The writers have written a pilot episode and fleshed out the characters as per Indian setting, but it's all a little early. Although, if all things go well, the show might hit the screens after a year,' the source says. Brooklyn Nine Nine follows a group of cops in the 99th precinct in Brooklyn, New York, and their everyday antics as they solve cases with a hint of humour. The show has achieved cult following over the course of its six seasons run, and is often rewatched on TV and streaming.

Sardaar Ji 3 Producer ADMITS Hania Aamir 'Hit Below The Belt', Shouldn't Have Condemned Operation Sindoor
Last Updated: Sardaar Ji 3 producer Gunbir Singh Sidhu said he will not work with Pakistani actors again. Hania Aamir is currently seen in Diljit Dosanjh 's Punjabi film, Sardaar Ji 3. Her casting has caused a huge uproar in India, especially due to her comments on India's Operation Sindoor after the terror attack in Pahalgam. Her casting in Diljit Dosanjh's film has hurt Indian sentiments, and as such, the singer-actor is being subjected to serious boycott calls in India. Amid this, producer Gunbir Singh Sidhu opened up about the actress's inclusion in the film. When pointed out that Pakistani actors like Hania Aamir and Mahira Khan had strongly condemned Operation Sindoor, Gunbir told NDTV, 'I believe that they should not have made such statements. But I cannot comment more than that. But I would say that those things should not have happened, and she hit below the belt." Despite the strict tensions between India and Pakistan, Gunbir's film features several Pakistani actors besides Hania. Gunbir explained, 'Those who are actively involved in the film industry and are aware of day-to-day activities, know that this film was shot in February-March 2025 itself. We shot it in the UK. There was no such atmosphere at that time; work was going on normally between the two countries. The whole atmosphere was normal. There was no restriction from the Government of India or any other institution." 'When we came to know about this attack, we decided that we would not release the film in India, because we did not want to hurt the sentiments of our people in any way. We too were hurt by this incident. Keeping this honour in mind, we decided that the film will be released only overseas because our major investment is there," he added. In a recent chat with News18 Showsha, singer Aditya Narayan mentioned that the relations between India and Pakistan might not have been as stringent as they are now, but they have never been good. Aditya Narayan said, ' Jab iski casting hui hogi toh relations itne strained nahi the. But if you see, the relations were never good anyway. It's murky waters, but definitely, it's always India first. This is my motherland. This is my country…Make amends, that's all." Meanwhile, Diljit Dosanjh's Sardaar Ji 3 will be released globally on June 27. Diljit Dosanjh has been receiving boycott and ban calls from the Indian film bodies, and his future films like Border 2 are in jeopardy. First Published:
