Sunny Deol once spoke about his long-standing decision to stay away from alcohol: 'I never understood it... it's so bitter, such bad smell'
Sunny Deol shared his reasons for abstaining from alcohol. He recalled disliking it after trying it once in England. His son, Rajveer, recounted a humorous incident. Sunny mistakenly thought Rajveer was drunk after one beer. Sunny spoke about discipline and family values. He acknowledged children make their own choices. Sunny will be seen in Lahore 1947. Sunny Deol once got candid about his personal choices—particularly his long-standing decision to stay away from alcohol. While promoting his son Rajveer's debut film Dono, the Gadar 2 star opened up about discipline, family values, and one memorable moment that involved a single beer and a lot of misunderstanding. In an interview with Mashable India, Sunny had shared his thoughts on alcohol consumption. He recalled trying alcohol for the first time during his time in England in an attempt to blend in socially. However, he found the experience unpleasant—disliking the bitter taste, strong smell, and resulting headache—and decided it wasn't for him. Rajveer also recalled a funny incident when his father mistakenly thought he was drunk after having just one beer. Rajveer shared that he had gone to retrieve his charger from beside Sunny's bed and accidentally tripped over a wire. Sunny, who was half-asleep, caught a whiff of the beer on Rajveer's breath and assumed he was intoxicated—prompting a reaction that left Rajveer laughing as he recalled the moment. When asked if he remembered the incident, Sunny—son of legendary actor Dharmendra—reflected on the value of discipline in his household. He shared that he didn't know when his sons began drinking, just as his own father wasn't aware of many things he did growing up. Sunny believes this sense of distance encourages discipline, acknowledging that children will ultimately make their own choices. He added that despite growing up in a strict family, he still did what he wanted—but never developed a liking for alcohol. Sunny is all set to appear next in Lahore 1947, a film produced by Aamir Khan and directed by Rajkumar Santoshi. The project was officially announced on the Instagram handle of Aamir Khan's production house.

Srinagar, June 11 (UNI) Ustad Ghulam Nabi Shah, famously known as Hamli Bulbul, who took Kashmiri music to new heights nationally breathed his last today at his ancestral place Dangiwacha Rafiabad in Baramulla district.

Bulbul was also renowned for his mastery of the traditional Kashmiri folk dance form known as Bacha Nagma. This vibrant and expressive dance involves young boys dressed as women, performing intricate footwork and spinning movements while singing Kashmiri ballads. In 2011, Bulbul was honored with the prestigious Sher-e-Kashmir Sheikh Muhammad Abdullah Award for his significant contributions to promoting Kashmiri Lok Sangeet (folk music). This accolade recognized his dedication to preserving and revitalizing the rich musical traditions of Kashmir. More than just a performer, he was a deeply respected personality whose humility and grace endeared him to generations. Meanwhile, colleagues, fans and admirers have condoled the demise of Bulbul terming it a huge loss to local music and art.

Has Kanye West changed his name to Ye Ye? Here's what we know
Music mogul and fashion entrepreneur Kanye West appears to be embracing yet another evolution of his identity. The rapper, who legally shortened his name to Ye in 2018, has now been referred to as Ye Ye in several official business documents filed in the state of California. (Also read: Kanye West rants as hackers leak his 'pro-Hitler' album, donate proceeds to Holocaust Museum: 'Proves everything I say'). According to documents obtained by E! News, on June 10, the name "Ye Ye" is listed in filings related to West's ventures, including Yeezy Apparel, Yeezy Record Label, and Ox Paha Inc. His Chief Financial Officer, Hussain Lalani, used the updated name when identifying West as a key figure in the companies, naming him as a "manager or member," as per E! News. As of now, it remains unclear whether the 48-year-old artist has initiated a formal legal name change to Ye Ye. In California, such a change would require publishing a legal notice in a local newspaper before a judge considers the petition. No such public filing has yet been reported, as per E! News. West's interest in name changes is rooted in deeper personal and spiritual meaning. When he changed his name to Ye in 2018, he explained the decision by referencing religious texts, and said, "In the Bible, it means 'you.' So, I'm you, I'm us, it's us. It went from Kanye, which means the only one, to just Ye, just being a reflection of our good, our bad, our confusion, everything," as quoted by E! News. The name Ye was also the title of his eighth studio album, which he described as embodying the energy and duality of human nature. "I wanted something that felt with the energy," he said in an interview at the time, adding, "Just with the universe was giving me, I wanted to match that energy," as quoted by E! News. Most recently, West appeared to distance himself from his previous online persona. On May 31, he announced his departure from his verified account on X (formerly Twitter), which still bears the handle @kanyewest. "Ima finally stop using the @kanyewest Twitter cause my name is Ye," he wrote, adding, "Gonna start a ye account and it is what it is." West shares four children, North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm, with ex-wife Kim Kardashian. (ANI)
