Sonam Kapoor Donates 12 Inches Of Her Hair To Charity, Thanks Anil Kapoor For The Genes
Last Updated: Sonam Kapoor cut 12 inches of her hair for charity. She credited her genetics for her long hair and thanked her stylist Pete and her father Anil Kapoor on Instagram. Bollywood's fashionista Sonam Kapoor just did the coolest thing ever. The actress went snip snip on her super long, luscious hair as she donated 12 full inches of her tresses to charity. Sonam took to Instagram to show off the moment she went from Rapunzel to refreshed! In the video, Sonam is seen casually sitting in the salon, grinning like she's about to do something bold. 'Hi everyone, so I decided to cut 12 inches of my hair," she says, holding the chopped strands. 'It doesn't seem like much on video, but it's literally a foot of hair!" And of course, she had to throw in a shoutout to papa Anil Kapoor for the great hair genes. 'My hair's become really long because of my genetics… i.e. Anil Kapoor," she laughed. She went on to say she'd been wanting to do this for a while and that it was finally time to say goodbye to some of the length and do something meaningful with it. Her longtime hairstylist Pete took on the task. Even after losing a whole foot of hair, Sonam's locks still look super long and fabulous. 'Very happy and refreshed," she smiled. In her caption, she wrote, 'Decided to cut off 12 inches off my hair and give it away! @peteburkill thanks @anilskapoor for the genes." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sonam A Kapoor (@sonamkapoor) On the work front, Sonam Kapoor is gearing up for her next big screen moment with Battle for Bittora. The upcoming film is based on Anuja Chauhan's 2010 bestseller Battle for Bittora, which tells the story of two young, idealistic politicians who are madly in love but run against each other in an election. The film is being produced by Anil Kapoor's production house in collaboration with Communication Network. Sonam also got nostalgic recently about two of her songs that quite literally broke the internet — Prem Ratan Dhan Paayo and Abhi Toh Party Shuru Hui Hai. Talking about the PRDP title track, Sonam told IANS, 'I still remember when the Prem Ratan Dhan Payo title track was released—what a time it was! The Dubsmash videos were everywhere. It totally broke the internet." She added that filming that song was one of her all-time favourite memories, saying, 'It honestly feels like it happened just yesterday. I'm so touched that people still love the song… it really means a lot!" Then came the 2014 bop Abhi Toh Party Shuru Hui Hai from Khoobsurat, which is still ruling party playlists even a decade later. 'This has always been one of my favourite songs from my career—and it still makes it to my dance playlist!" Sonam said, adding that she let her hair down (literally) while shooting it. 'It brings me so much joy to see that the song continues to be a popular party anthem even today," she shared. First Published:

Timothee Chalamet is all in for Kylie Jenner, but is he dodging the rest of the Kardashian clan circus?
'Too Smart for the Reality Game' Fear of the Kardashian Curse? A Calculated Romance You Might Also Like: Kylie Jenner fears Kardashian meddling could ruin her romance with Timothée Chalamet—And she won't forgive them if it does According to a recent report by Radar Online, the Oscar-nominated Dune star is growing increasingly cautious about how deep he treads into the Kardashian universe. Despite dating Kylie Jenner , Chalamet has reportedly made it clear he has no interest in becoming part of the wider Kardashian-Jenner circus, much to the frustration of Kris Jenner, Kim Kardashian, and Khloé insider told Radar Online 'Timmy appreciates that Kylie's family is trying to get to know him, but he's wise enough to be aware that they almost certainly have ulterior motives, like getting him onto The Kardashians and using his name and connections for networking purposes.'Though Chalamet has attended a few family functions at the behest of Kris Jenner, sources claim he only drops by briefly and quickly finds excuses to leave. He's allegedly turned down lavish family trips to Palm Springs and Turks and Caicos, and avoids too much contact with Kim and Khloé, despite their repeated notable exception is Kendall Jenner, who at 29 is closer in age to Chalamet. 'He and Kylie will occasionally hang out with Kendall,' the insider noted, suggesting that his snub isn't aimed at the entire family—just the machinery of their actor's reluctance appears rooted in more than just social preference. Those close to Chalamet are said to have warned him about the potential career pitfalls of associating too closely with reality TV royalty. With names like Kanye West, Lamar Odom, and even Caitlyn Jenner having faced well-documented turmoil after stepping into the Kardashian spotlight, Chalamet may be choosing self-preservation over spectacle.'Timmy's seen the likes of Caitlyn Jenner, Kanye West, Lamar Odom and so many other dudes who've been ruined once Kris got her claws into them,' the source added. 'He'll be damned if that's his path.'Despite all the caution, insiders claim the actor is still enjoying his romance with Kylie, with one source bluntly stating, 'She's giving him the sex of his life,' while also acknowledging the 'ton of free PR' the relationship has brought him. But make no mistake—Chalamet's refusal to merge with the Kardashian media machine appears intentional.'He's got a very smart head on his shoulders and he's made this decision for himself,' the source concluded, suggesting that while the heart may be entangled, the brand remains is Timothée Chalamet simply protecting his career—or is this the start of Hollywood's next great love story with clear boundaries? Either way, it's clear he wants Kylie without the Kardashian chaos.

THROWBACK: When Lionel Messi sent a signed gift for MS Dhoni's daughter Ziva
In December 2022, Lionel Messi sent a souvenir with a personal message to Ziva Dhoni, immediately captivating fans everywhere. At seven years old, Ziva posed proudly with the memento, pointing at Messi's inscription and signature. The gesture truly brought into focus MS Dhoni's well-known love for football and introduced Ziva as a budding fan of the sport. Now, in June 2025, that moment feels even more significant after Messi and Dhoni recently appeared together in a popular advertisement. Here's what happened back then. What did Ziva Dhoni receive from Lionel Messi? Messi had celebrated Argentina's World Cup win by extending his joy beyond the field in late December 2022. He sent a signed Argentina jersey with a personal note saying 'Para Ziva,' meaning 'For Ziva.' The gift was shared on Ziva's official Instagram (managed by her parents) with the caption 'Like father, like daughter.' The jersey had arrived just days after Argentina's victory over France. For Ziva, it was more than a jersey. It was an introduction to football fandom inherited from her father. At the time, First Post had noted that the photo quickly gathered over two hundred thousand likes. Today, the post sits at over a million. Ziva's fandom and Dhoni's football roots Ziva's zest for the sport did not blossom overnight. It likely sprang from Dhoni's own passion for football, which runs quite deep. He once aspired to be a goalkeeper, and now co-owns Chennaiyin FC in the Indian Super League. According to the cited source, Dhoni has trained with the squad and supports clubs like Manchester United. Ziva has clearly inherited this interest. Seeing her point at Messi's signature made it clear she follows in Dhoni's footsteps. Jay Shah also received Messi's autograph Ziva wasn't the only Indian recipient of Messi's generosity. Around the same time, the six-time Golden Boot winner also sent a signed jersey to BCCI secretary Jay Shah. As reported by the mentioned publication, former Indian cricketer Pragyan Ojha posted a picture of Shah holding the autographed shirt, with 'GOAT sends his best wishes and signed match jersey for jay bhai!' written on it. Ojha even joked about hoping to get one for himself soon. From a viral 2022 post to an on-screen collaboration in 2025 Though the jersey made waves in late 2022, Dhoni and Messi's association didn't end there. In April 2025, Dhoni and Messi appeared together in an advertisement for a popular chips brand. This video had amassed nearly a million likes within 24 hours. Fans watched the two legends share playful football moments as they passed the ball through screens across the world.
