'It's our 1st birthday!!! #Heeramandi turns 1 today! Thank you all for the unending love. For opening your hearts to our world. For keeping us in your hearts.'

On April 30, she shared a nostalgic video about her character and wrote: "Heeramndi turns one. Cheering for sanjay sir our captain! Moin sir sudeep da, mahesh sir, Chang, kruthi. My byoot collaborators Our champion ad's, Netflix And the village that made this universe come alive!(sic).'
'Thank you for the joy, thank you for the love. It's the gift that keep on giving. To all of you who made Bibbojaan and all of us a part of your hearts. This is an eternal love story between us! (sic)."
Set against the backdrop of the Indian independence movement against British rule in India in the 1940s, "Heeramandi" chronicles the lives of tawaifs of the red-light district of Heera Mandi in Lahore.

After Ajay Devgn & Mani Ratnam, Neha Dhupia supports Deepika Padukone's 8-hour shift demand amid Sandeep Reddy Vanga row: 'We often get shamed or sidelined...'
Neha Dhupia has come out in support of Deepika Padukone and shared the issue as a working mother read more Deepika Padukone's recent exit from Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Spirit featuring Prabhas has been garnering headlines for quite some time now. The actress quit the project because the director refused to accommodate an 8-hour shift, as Padukone had recently embraced motherhood and wanted to spend time with her baby. The filmmaker replaced Deepika with Triptii Dimri in his film by sharing the news on his social media account. Now, Neha Dhupia has come out in support of Deepika and shared the issue as a working mother. Taking to her Instagram stories, she shared a note tagging the Pathaan actress and wrote, 'For work-life balance to go beyond conversations, new moms need practical support and consideration. Instead, we often get shamed or sidelined. As a working mom, I support @deepikapadukone's reasonable request for fair and considerate working hours.' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Earlier Ajay Devgn also shared his support for Deepika Padukone and had said, 'It's not that it's not going down well with people. Most of the honest filmmakers will not have problems with it. And apart from this, being a mother and working for eight hours, most people have started working eight-nine-hour shifts.' Filmmaker Mani Ratnam had also supported Padukone by calling her demand valid and News18, 'I think it is a rightful demand. I'm glad she's in a position to ask for it. I think as a filmmaker, you will take that into consideration when you cast. It is not an unreasonable thing to ask, but an absolute necessity. I think that should be the priority. You have to acknowledge that, understand it and work around it.' On the professional front, Deepika Padukone recently came on board for Atlee's directorial featuring Allu Arjun, which is tentatively titled AA22xA6. Kalanithi Maran's Sun Pictures is bankrolling the film.

ARMYs are on cloud nine as BTS' Kim Taehyung, aka V, has officially completed his 18 months of mandatory military service and was discharged today, June 10. He was not alone, though. Joining him was BTS' leader Kim Namjoon, aka RM, who also finished his service on the same day. The excitement is at an all-time high as fans are eagerly waiting to see the full group together. With V finally returning, many are curious about the net worth of the BTS star. Here's everything you need to know about his luxurious lifestyle and his net worth. Taehyung carved a space for himself in the ever-competitive industry with his unique, deep voice and unmatchable looks. According to a report by GQ, his net worth stands at a whopping $40 million (approximately Rs 342 crore). He is the richest among the septet, all thanks to his group and solo endeavours in the music industry as well as brand campaigns with luxury brands like Celine and Cartier. BTS V's Sources Of Income V's multi-million dollar net worth is the result of his income from multiple sources, but most of it is because of his music. He has made a name for himself not only as a part of BTS but also as a solo artist. Right before enlisting in the military, V released his first solo album, Layover, in September 2023. It became a big hit, reaching No. 2 position on the Billboard 200 chart. He also earns through multiple brand endorsements. V is the global brand ambassador for brands like Celine and Cartier. With a fan following of over 66 million on his Instagram account, he can charge anywhere from $68,000 to $810,000 (approximately Rs 58 lakh to Rs 7 crore) for one sponsored post. View this post on Instagram A post shared by V (@thv) BTS V's Properties When it comes to where he lives, V did not stop himself from splurging on the property. Previously, the 29-year-old lived in the same building in Hannam, the Hill complex in Seoul, as his other bandmates. After their lease ended, all of them moved to different localities. In 2019, V bought his own luxurious place at the SK Apelbaum Complex in Gangnam-gu. He paid $4.55 million (roughly Rs 39 crore) for his new apartment. It is around 3,000 sq. feet in size and offers a beautiful view of the Han River. BTS V's Car Collection And More V loves finer things in life. That's why the BTS singer has a knack for luxurious cars. In his collection is a Genesis GV80, an SUV that is priced at $70,900 (around Rs 60 lakh). Just like his apartment and car, V also has a finer taste in fashion. Some of the pieces in his wardrobe include a Gucci corduroy jacket worth $7,580 (Rs 6.4 lakh). He also owns a Bottega Veneta jacket priced at $5,300 (Rs 4.5 lakh), and a Gucci tweed vest for $4,200 (Rs 3.5 lakh). Even his shoes are high-end. V owns a pair of Nike Air Jordan 1 Golf shoes worth $1,800 (Rs 1.5 lakh), Berluti leather Derbies priced at $1,660 (Rs 1.4 lakh), and Celine loafers worth $1,100 (Rs 94,000).
