Beenu Gupta's new show explores nature's sacred geometry
Artist Beenu Gupta's latest solo exhibition, Divinity – A Symphony of Nature which opened on June 5 and set to continue till June 9 looks at trees not just as forms in nature, but as carriers of memory, rhythm, and quiet symbolism.

'Shreyas Iyer Is Already Married To Me In My Mind,' Says Edin Rose In Viral Confession
Last Updated: Dubai actress Edin Rose confesses her love for Shreyas Iyer in a viral interview, saying she feels 'already married' to the cricketer and admires him deeply. In a revelation that has set social media ablaze, Dubai-born actress and reality TV star Edin Rose has made an emotional confession about her feelings for Indian cricketer Shreyas Iyer — a declaration that's equal parts bold and heartfelt. Speaking in a recent interview with Filmygyan, the Bigg Boss 18 alumna shared that her admiration for the Punjab Kings captain runs deeper than the average celebrity crush. 'I believe I'm the mother of his kids," she declared without hesitation. 'In my mind, I'm already married to him." Her words, tinged with sincerity and whimsy, have sent the internet into a frenzy, especially among fans of both Rose and Iyer. While the cricketer has made no public statements in response, Edin's unabashed confession has already begun to fuel a growing buzz about a potential spark between the two. Edin, who grew up in Dubai, has always embraced her multicultural roots — a background that's helped her connect with audiences across geographies. Her affection for Shreyas Iyer, known for his disciplined style of play and composed presence on the field, is a meeting point of cultures and personalities. 'He inspires me every day," she said. 'It's his humility, his focus, and the way he carries himself — those are the things I find truly admirable." The candid confession may have been spontaneous, but it's clearly something Edin has held close to her heart for a while. With fans now speculating about whether this one-sided admiration could ever turn into something more, the digital space has become a melting pot of memes, ship names, and enthusiastic encouragement. Though there's been no indication from Shreyas Iyer that he's even aware of the actress' feelings, her declaration has sparked curiosity about what comes next — a fan fantasy, a media moment, or maybe something more. Either way, Edin Rose has put her heart on the line — and in doing so, she's added a romantic twist to India's cricket season that no one saw coming. First Published:
