A celebration of innocence, elegance, and storytelling through Indian craft, the pre-draped saree was designed by renowned Indian fashion label, Jade by Monica and Karishma. The saree featured a fluid, pre-constructed drape with an extended trail.
Nitanshi exuded grace and charm in the silhouette which was adorned with delicate bow embroidery, cascading 3D floral accents, and subtle paisley motifs which were brought to life through an ancient resist-dyeing technique. Nitanshi completed her contemporary Indian saree look with a blouse intricately handcrafted with pearl and bead detailing, reminiscent of vintage Indian heirloom work.
Bringing Nitanshi's poised and fresh look to the forefront were celebrity stylists Shrey and Urja. Nitanshi completed her elevated style with thoughtful, minimal accents featuring bow-shaped earrings.

The Indian Film Festival of Melbourne (IFFM) 2025 hosted its annual awards night on Friday, giving prizes to the best in Indian cinema and streaming from 2024-25. Comedian and actor Vir Das was honoured with the Disruptor Award, and he took the stage to deliver a hilarious acceptance speech, comparing himself to Covid-19. Vir posted the clip of his acceptance speech on his Instagram account. Vir Das shared that it was his honour to get the Disruptor Award at IFFM. Vir Das at IFFM Accepting the award on stage, Vir began his speech by saying, 'My name is Vir Das. I think this award answers the question that I have been asking myself, which many of you are asking yourself… which is, what is a random tiny comedian doing at a film festival? The answer is he is disrupting it. I want to thank IFFM and the Victorian government- you are not the first government to call me disruptive.' 'I get described like Covid-19' He continued, 'I am not accomplished enough or talented enough to be at this festival with the people that you see here tonight. It is like they are your main dish, and I am your kadi patta (curry leaves). You will see the difference if you don't believe me when we all go home on the flight to Mumbai please watch the paparazzi caption for all of these famous people. They will say Aamir Khan returned home looking wonderful and refreshed with his family. Malaika Arora wore a wonderful jacket, she got into a green SUV looking happy, and mine while say, 'Vir Das is back!' I get described like Covid-19!' The audience cheered for Vir as he continued his speech, where he thanked the film festival for the honour. He concluded, 'I think humour is disruptive to the things that divide us. It is an honour to make people laugh, and so as long as anyone is willing to put my name on the side of a building in Australia, I promise I will show up. I hope you will show up too, and we can disrupt each other's lives. It is an honour to be your Kadi patta guys, thank you so much.' Fan reactions Reacting to Vir's speech, a fan commented, 'Vir doing what Vir does best! Making people laugh, with some poignant food for thought thrown in!' Another said, 'Who knew a kadi patta could carry so much weight? Only Vir 'The Ultimate Disruptor'.' Someone said, 'If humility, sarcasm, and intelligent humour had a face.' 'Beautifully said @virdas! What a brilliant speech- hilarious and thought-provoking at the same time! Something only you can do,' read another comment. Fool Volume, Vir's standup special, was released on Netflix on July 18.

Hrithik-Jr NTR's War 2 Is A Colossal Disappointment, Says YRF's Pathaan AD Rajvir Ashar
War 2, starring Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR, received mixed reviews. Pathaan Assistant Director Rajvir Ashar called it a 'colossal disappointment' and 'weakest film' of YRF Spyverse. Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR's War 2 opened to mixed reviews from the audience. The film opened to great numbers; however, it saw a huge drop in Day 3 collections. Amid a section of the audience criticising the film, Assistant Director Rajvir Ashar, who has worked alongside Siddharth Anand in YRF-backed SRK's Pathaan, has slammed War 2. He called the film a 'colossal disappointment". Rajvir Ashar maintains a private account on Instagram. However, a screenshot of his War 2 review has been going viral on Reddit. Taking to his Instagram story, Ashar posted a photo of a near-empty theatre for War 2 and called it the 'weakest film" of YRF's spyverse. He then wrote, 'This one was just a heartbreaking experience for me. I was rooting for this film and all it did was upset me to no degree! A mid first half is followed by a deplorable and overlong second. Neither did it have enough highs nor was it successful in resonating with me emotionally! The most 'anticipated' day turned out to be a 'colossal' disappointment. Weakest film of the universe!" Take a look: When Rajvir Ashar praised Jawan, took a dig at Adipurush In the past Rajvir Ashar spoke about Shah Rukh Khan's Jawan while taking a dig at Prabhas' Adipurush. Taking to his Instagram story back then, he had written, 'Chills! Literal Chills! To me, this is cinema…peak commercial cinema!!! No 700 cr budget, no 'go watch in 3D instead of phone excuses", just some pure passion! This one is gonna create absolute pandemonium!!! And what do I say about @iamsrk…ufff he's just built different man!" He added, 'No PR, No filthy dialogues, No hate for anyone, No religious bigotry, No propaganda movies. Just pure entertainment to entertain the world! That's SRK for you! Truly 'The Last of the Stars'." Directed by Ayan Mukerji and produced by Aditya Chopra, War 2 is the latest entrant in the YRF Spy Universe. Starring Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR, and Kiara Advani, the high-octane action entertainer released on August 14, 2025, in Hindi, Telugu, and Tamil. It clashed with Rajinikanth's Coolie from South, which is doing phenomenally well at the box office by earning Rs 300 crore worldwide in just three days. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
