This Is The First Cricketer To Join OnlyFans, Also Played For Virat Kohli's RCB
The 32-year-old fast bowler, who last played international cricket in 2023, told The New York Times that his move to the site is aimed at offering a "behind-the-scenes" look at a cricketer's life. "There won't be any glamorous photos. This isn't about that. It's just cricket and real talk," Mills said, adding that it is a new space for him and he is genuinely excited about it. (News18 Hindi)

Mills is well aware of the platform's controversial reputation. I know what people associate this site with. But I'm not here for that. I'm not going to do anything like that, he clarified. While his account is free to subscribe to, he mentioned that some premium content may be paywalled in the future. (News18 Hindi)
Founded in the UK in 2016, OnlyFans shot to fame primarily as a platform for adult entertainers, though it also hosts creators from fitness, music, and now, it seems, cricket. Mills, known for his raw pace, was once considered among England's most exciting T20 prospects. However, his international career has been plagued by frequent injuries. He has represented England in 16 T20Is, taking 14 wickets. (News18 Hindi)
In franchise cricket, Mills has played for Royal Challengers Bangalore and Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League. RCB picked him up in 2017 (not 2012, as earlier reported) for Rs 12 crore, but he managed just 5 wickets in as many matches. (News18 Hindi)
Mills' stint with Mumbai Indians in 2022 was more modest with 6 wickets in 5 matches, but he still couldn't cement his place. At present, Mills is playing for Southern Brave in the ongoing 'The Hundred' tournament in England. (News18 Hindi)

Not Rupali Ganguly or Dilip Joshi, Smriti Irani is TV's highest-paid actor with Rs 14 lakh per episode for Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2
Smriti Irani is back to acting with the second season of Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi. The actress was reported to be charging a hefty payment of Rs 14 lakh per episode, becoming the highest-paid TV actor in India. Reacting to the reports, Smriti Irani herself has confirmed such remuneration. Smriti Irani confirms becoming highest paid actor on small screen In a latest chat with CNN News18, Smriti Irani admitted that she is getting the record-breaking-paycheck while highlighting how she earned it with a lot of hard work and delivering on TRP numbers. The actress said, 'You also set that benchmark as a professional to say that if you deliver on history on numbers and revenue, why not? Because not everybody who's watching us knows we get to negotiate our contracts as employees.' Smriti Irani proudly said that not only pay-parity, she has beaten the boys and girls. 'I'm a part of a union, so the first thing I do is actually have my union number registered. We all are part of a larger organisation and flow of work. For one person to stand up and say "listen, not only pay parity, I beat the boys and the girls and how much I make that is a lot of hard work," she added. Smriti Irani, who is playing the lead role of Tulsi Virani in Kyonki, further underlined that she is capable of making stars out of others who are working with her. She said, 'The idea is, are you truly the star or do you have the professional capacity to make stars around you? I think that I have actually, mercifully, had the capacity of making stars out of others who are with me. If there is a Tulsi, then Amar Upadhyay quintessentially creates his own market. So do you become that pivot, that sounding board, that other actors then can enhance their economic value? That I have managed to do through the project, so my co-stars today can say, 'Oh, we are a part of that.'' Smriti Irani beats contemporaries Rupaly Ganguly, Dilip Joshi and Hina Khan For the unversed, Smriti Irani has surpassed Rupali Ganguly, Dilip Joshi, and Hina Khan's remunerations to emerge as the highest paid actor on the small screen. While Ganguly charges around Rs 3 lakh per episode for Anupama, Dilip Joshi and Hina Khan charge around Rs 1.5-2 lakh per episode. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates.

R Ashwin and Chennai Super Kings could part ways ahead of the next IPL season, within a year after homecoming
Within one year of their reunion, R Ashwin and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) could part ways ahead of next edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL), The Indian Express understands. It is learned that the former India all-rounder has gained interest from a couple of franchises and has had talks with CSK over his future as a player. But what is adding to the intrigue is the fact that Ashwin is currently also serving as the head of CSK's High Performance Centre and Super Kings Academy. In case Ashwin joins another franchise, there is room for conflict of interest and given the complexities involved it would be interesting to see how this plays out in the coming seats. Ashwin is keen on avoiding such a scenario and is understood to be in talks with CSK, who still seem keen on having his services at the franchise. When CSK brought him back the fold for their ambitious High Performance Centre, it was evident that they would also acquire him at the auctions that followed. The franchise then spent Rs 9.75 crore at the auction to reunite him with Ravindra Jadeja. Ever since Chennai Super Kings showed interest in bringing Sanju Samson from Rajasthan Royals, Ashwin's name has been involved in discussions as part of a potential trade-off along with Shivam Dube. But Chennai have been keen on only an all-cash deal and have showed no interest to let go of Ashwin as part of any trade deal. A veteran of 106 Tests, Ashwin enjoys a close relationship with N Srinivasan, who holds a majority stake in the franchise. And their relationship was one of the key reasons why Ashwin reunited with CSK ahead of the last season. Unlike Samson, whose relationship with Rajasthan has suffered in recent months, Ashwin enjoys a good rapport with the franchise officials. Personally and professionally, there are plenty of connecting factors. The ultimate say in the matter now is solely with Chennai Super Kings, who have already set the ball rolling ahead of next season. MS Dhoni and Ruturaj Gaikwad have been in Chennai, meeting with the franchise officials to plan for the next season. Potentially, the only way out for Ashwin would be that he has to part ways with the CSK High Performance Centre, but as things stand there is no clarity on this. After making his IPL debut with the franchise in 2009, Ashwin became an integral member of the squad that made three successive finals between 2010 and 2012, where Chennai won back-to-back titles. He stayed with the franchise till 2015 before it was suspended. And after spells with Punjab Kings, Delhi Capitals and Rajasthan Royals, Ashwin returned to CSK fold ahead of last season. In what turned out to be an underwhelming campaign for the franchise, Ashwin was even dropped from the playing squad. Having played only 9 matches in IPL 2025, Ashwin picked up 7 wickets at an average of 40.43 but more worryingly, conceded at 9.13 runs per over through the season. Compared to his IPL career economy rate of 7.20, this was Ashwin's most expensive outing in his IPL career. He wasn't too effective with the bat either, scoring just 33 runs with a highest score of 13. Ashwin, who announced retirement from international cricket during the Australia tour, is most likely to turn out for Tamil Nadu in the Syed Mushtaq Ali T20s.
