Bollywood actor Ishaan Khatter shared that his upbringing was marked by frequent relocations and modest living conditions despite being part of a renowned film family. The actor, who is the son of actors Neelima Azeem and Rajesh Khattar, also stated that the frequent relocation also affected his academic performance. Khatter is also half-brother to actor Shahid Kapoor.In an interview with Mid-Day, the 29-year-old said, "All my schooling was in Juhu. I was in Jamnabai for 10 years. Then I went to a school called Billabong High. For two years, I tried to make sense of life as I was used to my friends. I studied in one school till 8th grade. I always moved homes as we lived in rented houses. It was what people called the Bombay struggling lifestyle. By the time I was 16, I had lived in 17 houses. So, I was changing more houses than my age."advertisementThe actor further explained how this constant moving affected his social life and academics. "When I changed school, the one social set I was used to had shifted. I was also making my peace with that...Then I started dancing. I told my mom that when I left Jamnabai in 8th grade, my academics started falling," he added.
Despite these challenges, the actor found solace in dancing, which became a new focus and passion. This shift in interest marked the beginning of his journey into the entertainment industry, where he is now making significant strides.On the professional front, Khatter recently appeared in the Netflix series 'The Royals', alongside Bhumi Pednekar. The show narrates the tale of a royal family dealing with modern-day financial troubles in India. Although the series received mixed reviews, the actor received appreciation for his work.His film 'Homebound', directed by Neeraj Ghaywan, was also screened at the Cannes Film Festival in the Un Certain Regard section earlier this year. The film, which stars Janhvi Kapoor and Vishal Jethwa, received a positive response, including a nine-minute standing ovation.- EndsMust Watch

Kareena Kapoor Clicks 'Very Busy' Saif Ali Khan Doing THIS On Their London Holiday

Last Updated: Kareena Kapoor Khan shared glimpses from London with Saif Ali Khan. The celebrity couple, along with their kids, are on a holiday. Kareena Kapoor Khan, a day after taking a dig at Prada by flexing her Kolhapuri-style chappals, has posted new photos from her London holiday. The actor, who loves the British countryside as a holiday destination with her family, has yet again posted glimpses from their outing. One of which included a dapper photo of her husband, Saif Ali Khan. Taking to her Instagram story, Kareena Kapoor first posted a glimpse of 'her things", which included her sunglasses, a water ball which probably belonged to her sons Taimur and Jeh and a jute tote bag with her initials 'KKK' inscribed on it. The following pictures was that of her 'very busy" husband, Saif, engrossed in a book. His holiday outfit, comprising a pale blue shirt and orange shorts, screamed goals! Take a look: The year 2025 began with a lot of challenges for Saif, Kareena and their families after the latter was stabbed by an intruder inside their house in Mumbai. Following this, Saif's claim to a sprawling Rs 15,000 crore ancestral estate in Bhopal has hit a major legal setback. The Madhya Pradesh High Court has quashed a decades-old ruling that had earlier validated the Pataudi family's ownership of the royal properties inherited from the Nawab of Bhopal. The decision has reignited a complex legal battle rooted in princely succession laws, post-Partition migration, and the controversial Enemy Property Act. Kareena Kapoor stays connected with her fans on social media, sharing glimpses of her family life. Professionally, she is preparing for her upcoming film, Daayra, with Malayalam star Prithviraj Sukumaran. Directed by Meghna Gulzar, the project explores dark themes of crime and justice and is currently in pre-production. The script is co-written by Meghna, Yash Keswani, and Sima Agarwal. She was last seen in Singham Again. As for Saif Ali Khan, the actor was last seen in Netflix film, Jewel Thief. Prior to this, he played the antagonist in Jr NTR-starrer Devara: Part 1. While his next project has yet to be announced officially, rumours are rife that Saif is teaming up with Akshay Kumar after 17 years, for a thriller directed by Priyadarshan. The film is reportedly titled Haiwaan, meaning 'beast' in English.

Female wrestlers unhappy with WWE's idea for a successful Evolution 2025 not going according to plan

Evolution (Image via WWE) Evolution 2025 is happening next week over the weekend on Sunday, July 13. The all-women's professional wrestling pay-per-view event will be produced by WWE , and be available for live streaming on Netflix. Already quite a few matches have been confirmed so far, but one thing that the management did not anticipate was how the fans are responding to the event. While the first show was a big hit, and fans had been truly anticipating a return of the all-women's show, things are not working out well; with quite a few other big events already taking place around the same time. WWE Evolution 2025 is facing some issues The 2025 Evolution will be held at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia, and the current setup of there for the event is a total of 6,652 seats. With only a week in hand, only 4,804 tickets have been distributed as of 4 July 2025, which means 1,578 tickets are still unsold, according to WrestleTix on X (formerly Twitter). This is especially noticeable given that the next WWE Saturday Night Main Event, which will be held the day before Evolution on July 12, Saturday, has already sold 10,731 tickets. This could be one of the reasons that Evolution ticket sales are low, as people would prefer to attend SNME over the all-women's event, even though the match cards confirmed so far are pretty interesting. From Rhea Ripley vs IYO Sky to Nikki Bella challenging Ronda Rousey to Tiffany Stratton and Trish Stratus going from friends to foes after their Tag Team win at the 2025 Elimination Chamber. Tiffany Stratton & Trish Stratus vs. Nia Jax & Candice LeRae: Elimination Chamber 2025 highlights Another reason for low ticket sales could be Beyonce's Cowboy Carter Tour, which will be in Atlanta, Georgia from July 10 to 14 for four shows, with July 12 being the break day. Thus, SNME, which is also being held at the State Farm Arena, has the conveniently placed date not coinciding with the tour dates, but Evolution on the other hand, is being impacted by it. This has become yet another issue for the event, which was already seeing low ticket sales. If WWE cannot come up with something in the meantime, things are not looking up for Evolution 2025. Women wrestling stars are dismayed over the Evolution mishap On Fightful's The Hump, host Sean Ross Sapp said that the female wrestlers in WWE are not too happy with how the company is treating the event, Having an all-women's event was a big step for female wrestlers and wrestling in general. But seeing that even after a successful show back in 2018, such less importance is being given in planning the second event after a 5+ years gap, many have expressed their dismay over the turn of events. 'So a lot of the women that I was speaking to felt... a lot of them felt like it was set up. One, it was put in against All In weekend, across the street from a Beyoncé concert, during MLB All-Star weekend, when a lot of the hotels were going to be bought up in the area. They weren't necessarily thrilled with that, but it was hastily produced.' Ronda Rousey vs Nikki Bella (Image via WWE) Women wrestling stars are not happy with the approach WWE has taken in producing the event so hastily after a 7 years gap in between. And with so many other events taking place at the same time, it was bound to impact Evolution, but WWE did not take any of that into account while planning the event, and the event is suffering because of that.

Before I became a blogger/ content creator I was a banker in Wealth Management for several years. I have also been a Gladrags Mrs. India Globe 2009. Post 2017, I transitioned into blogging. I have NEVER tried to open any business with anyone's name. I am clarifying things because these are facts. I have built an independent career as a content creator for years on my own and as a woman I find it in poor taste of anyone to try to tear that fact down. For this my husband, mother in law and parents can vouch for that. As a mother it is extremely important to me that facts are clear when my name is involved.' That post is not on her page anymore.
