Shraddha Kapoor wore simple jeans look at WAVES 2025 but her statement necklace was just so chic
Why settle for one statement necklace when you can have three in one instead? Shraddha Kapoor paired her shiny and bright necklace featuring stones as well as quaint charms in different colours and sizes with a casual outfit.
She wore a smart white jacket with a fitted red top and comfortable blue jeans. The actor paired her simple look with blown-out waves with soft and summery makeup: glossy lips and subtle eye makeup.

Pair the necklace with a plain top to make it the focal point. Throw on a pair of denim and a jacket to add a casual touch and balance out the boldness of the necklace. Avoid overwhelming the look with too much jewellery; keep other accessories simple and understated.
A statement necklace is meant to stand out, so don't be afraid to experiment and have fun with different styling options. Not just jeans, a statement necklace can elevate a simple dress and add a touch of glamour for an elegant evening look.
According to a statement by the PMO, WAVES 2025 is a first-of-its-kind summit in India attracting participation from over 90 countries, with more than 10,000 delegates, 1,000 creators, over 300 companies, and over 350 startups.

Hyderabad gamers hail Online Gaming Bill as boost for esports, curb on addiction
Gamers, creators and developers in Hyderabad on Wednesday welcomed the passage of the Online Gaming Bill, 2025, in the Lok Sabha, describing it as a long-awaited step to curb the menace of real-money gaming (RMG) while opening up space for esports and skill-based gaming to grow. For Vinay Vangala, a Panjagutta resident who lodged a police complaint in March against online betting platforms, the development felt deeply personal. 'It is a relief to see this addressed at a national level,' he said. 'Both the State and Central governments have been clear about ending this menace. I am thankful to the Hyderabad and Cyberabad police for going after offenders, whether common people or celebrities.' Vinay admitted that he too had once been tempted. 'My friends in Ameerpet had told me about quick money through online games. I almost fell for it but after doing some research, I realised it was illegal. That was when I approached the Panjagutta police and filed a complaint.' His complaint encouraged others to share their struggles. Hyderabad's esports and gaming community have welcomed the Bill for shifting the conversation away from gambling-like activities. Dhanu Dino, a Malkajgiri resident and popular gaming influencer who runs Telugu Gaming FF with over 2.45 million YouTube subscribers, called it a chance to redirect energy toward esports. 'This move will push focus back to esports. The Telugu influencer community had already distanced itself from RMG two years ago. The future is esports, not betting apps.' Dhanu explained that a successful, thriving career can be built sans the RMG method. 'If you just create good content on YouTube, Instagram or streaming apps, you can be assured of a career. I am buying a house this year with the money I earned through esports, YouTube revenue and streaming; never RMG or ads,' he added. He hoped the new law would mean 'the next generation won't even know what RMG is'. Meanwhile, developers say that the Bill is an overdue chance to separate video gaming from the taint of betting platforms. Sameer Chengappa, a game designer at Funfinity Interactive currently working on AS:RA Ashen Skies: Radiant Arena, emphasised that esports and traditional gaming should never be confused with gambling. 'The problem is that video games are being lumped together with RMG in the digital space. RMG is not gaming, it is closer to gambling which has its own regulations. Esports, video games and online gambling are all very different,' he said. He added, 'If the same rules applying to RMG are imposed on us, the industry simply cannot grow. This initiative was about drawing that line clearly.' 'Though this move cannot undo the loss we suffered, maybe others can be spared from such a fate,' said Sai Prasad, a private company employee from Musheerabad, adding that he lost his friend to online gambling addiction last year.

Online Gaming Bill, 2025: Ban on money games, push for e-sports
NEW DELHI: A day after the Cabinet approved the introduction of the Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Bill, 2025, which seeks to prohibit individuals or organisations from offering online money games or related services in India, shares of gaming platforms tumpled. In early trade, shares of Nazara Technologies fell by nearly 7%, while casino operator Delta Corp also plunged before a partial recovery later in the session. Other platforms providing online money games such as Dream11, Games24x7, Winzo, GamesKraft, 99Games, KheloFantasy, and My11Circle are now facing an existential crisis. The government on Tuesday announced that the Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Bill, 2025 will be introduced in the Lok Sabha. According to the proposed draft of the Bill, the government sees an urgent need to regulate online gaming—promoting social games and e-Sports on the one hand while banning online money gaming in the larger public interest. What are the different online games? The Online Gaming Bill, 2025 classifies online games into four types—e-sports, social games, educational games, and online money games. E-sports are competitive video games played in tournaments, similar to traditional sports. Games like PUBG, FIFA, or Valorant are examples. The government wants to promote e-sports as a skill-based activity that can create careers. Social games are casual games played for fun and entertainment, often with friends such as Ludo King, Candy Crush, and online chess. These games are safe but will still be regulated for user safety, age-appropriate access, and data protection. Educational games are designed for learning and skill-building. They include math quizzes, coding games for kids, or apps like Duolingo. The Bill supports such games for their positive value. Online money games, where players deposit money and play for cash rewards, will be completely banned because of their addictive and harmful effects. According to industry reports, India's online gaming market is currently valued at $3.7 billion and is projected to more than double to $9.1 billion by 2029. Why is the Bill needed? According to the government, online gaming in India has witnessed an explosive rise, driven by affordable smartphones and deeper internet penetration in the country. Currently, there is no uniform legal framework to regulate the sector, nor is there a central authority to oversee content standards, user safety, data protection, or financial practices in social games. 'In the absence of a clearly defined framework, both e-Sports and online social games in India continue to operate in a regulatory grey zone, limiting the sector's potential while exposing users—especially young audiences—to various risks,' reads the draft. The government has also warned that unchecked growth of online gaming platforms has led to serious economic and psychological consequences, making clear rules urgent and necessary. It stressed that the growth of this sector must align with national interest, public safety, and ethical business practices. The draft further highlights that unregulated expansion of online gaming has contributed to addiction, debt traps, suicides, and mental health issues. Many money gaming platforms are operating across state and national borders, often through offshore servers, making regulation even more pressing. A structured regulatory approach, the government argues, will help address key concerns including age-appropriate access and addiction risks, particularly among vulnerable groups like minors. Moreover, formal recognition and governance of e-Sports will also allow India to tap into the global competitive gaming ecosystem and open new career opportunities for young players. What is Prohibition in the Online Gaming Bill, 2025? The proposed Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Bill, 2025 clearly says that no one can run or help run online money games in India. This means individuals, companies, or any platform are not allowed to offer such games. The Bill also bans advertisements. No person or organisation can make or publish ads—on TV, social media, or any online platform—that directly or indirectly encourage people to play money-based online games. Even banks and payment companies cannot process or allow transactions related to these games. In short, prohibition here means a total ban on offering, promoting, or funding online money gaming. To make sure the law is followed, the Central Government will set up or appoint an Authority. This Authority will issue orders and guidelines, and every gaming platform will have to obey them Punishment and Penalty As per the proposed law, anyone offering online money gaming services in violation of Section 5 can face imprisonment of up to three years, a fine of up to ₹1 crore, or both. The law also states that any person who makes or publishes advertisements for such games can be punished with imprisonment of up to two years, a fine of up to ₹50 lakh, or both. Similarly, anyone involved in processing or authorising payments for online money gaming can face imprisonment of up to three years, a fine of up to ₹1 crore, or both.
