The blush Kanjeevaram saree with William Morris-inspired motifs, lace wings, and intricate embellishments radiated elegance and symbolism. Her look was completed with a 250-carat gemstone neckpiece, blending rubies, emeralds, sapphires, and diamonds in white gold. Reddy hosted the Beauty With A Purpose Gala at her private Hyderabad residence, Mon Amour Palais, welcoming 108 contestants and showcasing Telangana's cultural hospitality. The event was also broadcast at Times Square, underscoring Hyderabad's global presence. In her speech, Reddy emphasized the emotional weight of receiving the honor in her home state and expressed gratitude to the Telangana Government and Tourism Board. She reaffirmed her mission to amplify humanitarian efforts and promote Indian artistry on global platforms. Chairperson Julia Morley awarded Reddy the ambassadorial title, praising her dedication. Reddy also served as a jury member for Miss World 2025, further contributing her vision to the iconic event. The Miss World pageant's return to India after nearly three decades celebrates not just beauty, but purposeful global change. Under Reddy's ambassadorship, the Beauty With A Purpose initiative—focusing on education, women's rights, child health, and disaster relief—enters a bold new chapter.

When Virat Kohli defended his wife, Anushka Sharma, online, the tweet went viral and became 2016's ‘most influential tweet'
RCB finally took home the IPL title after a wait of 18 years, after rightfully defeating PK in the finals held on June 3. Virat Kohli , one of the most pivotal members of RCB, was seen celebrating the historical moment with his wife in the sweetest moment possible. The cricketer, after the win, praised Anushka and expressed his appreciation for her support and sacrifices for him. As RCB won, everyone was celebrating Kohli's victory as well as his interactions with Anushka; however, there was a time when his wife was getting blamed for his performance in IPL matches back in 2016. Anushka Sharma is accused of being the reason behind Virat Kohli's performance in the IPL Ever since their relationship went public, Kohli and Sharma have been at the center of public scrutiny constantly. Back in 2016, when the cricketer was part of the Indian team that managed to reach the semi-final matches of the World T20 championship, Sharma was heavily criticized by the public for being the reason behind Kohli's low performance in the stadium. The actress was regularly blamed for attending the matches and causing 'distraction' for the player. This had been ongoing since 2014, where fans of the player would often label the 'Zero' actress as 'panauti.' The couple had parted ways briefly in 2015-2016, yet had still managed to stick together later on through thick and thin. In 2016, when the trolling was at an all-time high, Kohli came to his now wife's defense online. The player took to his social media platform to share a tweet, calling people out for their poor behavior and for constantly targeting Anushka, all with a photo with the words 'SHAME' written on it. He wrote in his tweet, 'Shame on people for trolling @AnushkaSharma non-stop. Have some compassion. She has always only given me positivity. ' Kohli's tweet became 2016's most influential tweet' Later, in the year, when statistics were released by the social media platform, it was revealed that Kohli's tweet defending Anushka was labelled as one of the 'most influential tweets' of the year. Currently, even though it has been almost 9 years since he made that post, the tweet still often surfaces every time Anushka and Virat are vocal about their love and support for one another.
