On Tuesday, Ira took to Instagram and shared a lovely picture of herself spending quality time with her family. The picture showed her sitting beside her mother, Reena, and husband, Nupur, while her brother, actor Junaid, was seen sitting with Ira's mother-in-law. They were seen enjoying coffee at a street-side eatery and posed together for a sweet picture. In the caption of her post, Ira dropped just a bunch of red heart emojis.
The internet couldn't stop gushing over the adorable family picture. One of the comments read, "Oh this picture made my heart happy." Another wrote, "Wow ... Family gathering brunch." A third user commented, "Perfect family picture." Another said, "Such a beautiful picture." One added, "Love the pic. Especially your mum on his side and his mum next to Junaid. How comfortable, wholesome, inclusive – how beautiful. +10 points to the one who did the seating arrangement."

Earlier, in an interview with Official People Of India, Ira had spoken about her bond with brother Junaid and said, "I don't know whether this happens with all siblings, but either I wanted to be exactly like him in some aspects, while in some aspects I had to be exactly the opposite. He liked Manchester United. So I had to not like Manchester United. We fought every single day till he finished school. When he went to college, he got a life, so he stopped troubling me and then we actually became very close. So it was a very big shift but it was a fun shift."
While Ira is not a part of the film industry, her brother Junaid made his Bollywood debut with the film Maharaj and was praised for his performance. He followed it up with his first theatrical release, Loveyapa, alongside Khushi Kapoor. Although the film failed to make a mark at the box office, it received some love after its OTT release. It is available to stream on JioHotstar.

Aamir Khan says son Junaid has dyslexia: Why this learning challenge is most misunderstood but can be managed well

Actor Aamir Khan has finally been candid about son Junaid's struggle with dyslexia, a neurobiological learning disability that affects the reading, spelling, and, by extension, writing abilities of the child. He admitted his son's challenges inspired his 2007 film Taare Zameen Par, which mirrored some of his own helplessness and frustration as a parent. He has focused on children with special abilities yet again in its sequel, Sitaare Zameen Par, which releases this week. 'When parents hear that their child has dyslexia, they are often overwhelmed, not by the label itself, but by the uncertainty of what comes next. It also opens up a series of questions: What next? Who will help my child? How can they succeed in school and life?', says Priyanka Mehta, senior special educator, Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital, Mumbai. What are the myths around dyslexia? This condition is often misunderstood as a problem of intelligence. It is, in fact, a specific learning difficulty that affects reading, writing and language processing. It does not reflect a lack of intelligence. Children with dyslexia often have unique strengths like creative thinking, problem-solving and strong verbal skills. The goal of intervention is to unlock this potential through personalised strategies that address both academic and emotional needs. What are tools that manage this condition? Structured phonics, or the sound of letters, guided reading and repetition help children decode language in a way that suits their learning style. However, academic support is only one part of the puzzle. Many children with dyslexia struggle with emotional regulation, low self-esteem and anxiety, especially when they feel they are falling behind their peers. Behavioural therapists step in to work on these areas, helping children understand and express their emotions, build resilience and develop social skills. Sessions are designed to be encouraging and interactive, allowing the child to gain confidence through small, consistent achievements. What about life skills training? Children should be gently guided to master everyday tasks, from organising schoolwork and managing time to handling money or navigating social situations. These skills enhance independence and reduce the emotional burden of day-to-day challenges. How soon should the child be introduced to therapies? Early intervention often yields quicker progress, but even adolescents can benefit from well-planned, goal-driven therapy. How can you help your child at home with spelling, handwriting and reading? Reading must be more than just recognising words — it needs to be meaningful. This means helping the child connect words to ideas, stories, emotions and experiences. Simply reading aloud isn't enough. Parents should turn reading time into a bonding activity that encourages interaction, builds comprehension and nurtures a love for language. Parents need to understand specific techniques, such as using prompts to check understanding, encouraging predictions, relating stories to the child's life, and pausing to explain tricky vocabulary. Choose age-appropriate books with large fonts and short sentences. Read aloud together and track words with a finger or reading strip. Audiobooks can also help build comprehension and vocabulary without the stress of decoding. Break down words into syllables and use phonics-based spelling techniques. Encourage the use of tactile learning (e.g., writing letters in sand or with finger paints). Repetition using word games or flashcards helps build familiarity. While writing, focus on grip and posture. Use lined paper and guides to help with spacing and alignment. Introduce tracing exercises and allow extra time for written work. Short, daily handwriting practice with breaks can reduce frustration. These tools are not meant to replace therapy, but to support it by reinforcing skills in a low-pressure home setting. How do you mainstream children with dyslexia? One of the more significant challenges remains the traditional schooling system, which is often not equipped to support diverse learning needs. So children are sometimes unfairly labelled as lazy or inattentive. Ultimately, managing dyslexia is not about fixing a child, but it's about recognising their unique way of learning and providing the tools, guidance, and encouragement they need to succeed. How can you break down tasks into smaller, more manageable chunks? Use visual aids to help your child understand concepts and connect them to pictures or symbols. Use assistive technology like word processors with spell-checkers and autocorrect features, or text-to-speech software. Engage your child in interactive activities. Recognise and build upon your child's strengths and interests, which can help them feel more confident and motivated. Acknowledge your child's efforts and celebrate their successes, even small ones. By working together, parents, teachers and specialists can help children with dyslexia thrive academically and emotionally, and build a positive self-image.

Anushka Sharma is heartbroken over stampede in Bengaluru during RCB IPL win celebrations

Actor Anushka Sharma has expressed sadness over the stampede outside Chinnaswamy Stadium, where Royal Challengers Bengaluru celebrated their maiden IPL title win in 18 years. She shared that she is heartbroken by the tragedy.

Anushka took to Instagram to break her silence about the tragedy and give fans a glimpse into her emotional state. Anushka revealed that the tragedy has left her heartbroken. The actor, who is married to RCB star Virat Kohli, posted the team's official statement on Instagram and added a string of heartbroken emojis in response to the tragedy. The formal note by RCB read, 'We are deeply anguished by the unfortunate incidents that have come to light through media reports regarding public gatherings all over Bengaluru in anticipation of the team's arrival this afternoon. The safety and well-being of everyone is of utmost importance to us." A post shared by AnushkaSharma1588 (@anushkasharma) 'RCB mourns the tragic loss of lives and extend our heartfelt condolences to the affected families. Immediately upon being made aware of the situation, we promptly amended our program, and followed the guidance and advice of the local administration. We urge all our supporters to please stay safe," the statement added. Earlier on Wednesday, Anushka took to Instagram Stories to give fans a glimpse of all the celebrations on the streets of Bengaluru. She was with her cricketer husband Virat Kohli in the RCB parade bus and showed scenes from the bus ride to M Chinnaswamy Stadium. She showed Virat sitting in the front section of the bus with the trophy in his lap. The video also showed escort cars clearing the way so the bus could move ahead. 'Namma Bengaluru current scenes,' Anushka wrote in her story. In the second one, she wrote, 'These happy faces have waited for this very lovingly and patiently.' What was supposed to be a happy day for Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) fans in the city turned out to be a horror show after a stampede outside the M Chinnaswamy Stadium claimed 11 lives and left 33 injured. Despite the chaos, RCB's felicitation ceremony went as per the plans. The open-bus parade, which was eventually allowed by Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, got cancelled. Virat Kohli and captain Rajat Patidar addressed the packed crowd inside the stadium, before the players went around the ground with the trophy. Karnataka chief minister Siddaramaiah on Wednesday ordered a magisterial inquiry into the stampede, while the opposition blamed the Congress-led government for lapses in planning for the felicitation ceremony. After the stampede, RCB and KSCA issued a joint statement expressing their condolences. The franchise and the cricket body also announced ₹25 lakh compensation for the families of those who died.
