The Grammy-winning singer recently took to Instagram to proudly show her postpartum stretch marks, calling them a testament to her journey as a mother of four. The 'Level Up' star—who shares son Future, 11, with ex-rapper Future and daughters Sienna, 8, Amora, 19 months, plus son Win, 5, with husband Russell Wilson—didn't shy away from showing the reality behind motherhood. Ciara embraces her 'beauty marks' and inspires fans with powerful body positivity message Pulling down her waistband to reveal her skin, Ciara declared, 'I am a mom of my precious four babies and they have blessed me with these stretch marks. Why am I going to cover up when I can show off?' Her candid moment comes at a time when many public figures still face pressure to maintain unrealistic beauty standards, especially after childbirth. For Ciara, these marks aren't flaws—they're badges of honor. She reminded fans that everyone has moments of insecurity, writing, 'We all have moments when we don't feel great about our skin—I'm no different. I've been seeing SO many conversations lately feeling like we have to cover up or hide… What holds you back from showing your skin?'

‘Sholay' ushered in tech revolution, changed movie experience for ever
Kolkata: On a cool Oct morning in 1975, nearly two months after 'Sholay' hit Bombay and Ahmedabad screens, the film finally unspooled at Kolkata's Jyoti Cinema. The delay hardly mattered. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now What followed was nothing short of cinematic history — a run that lasted 103 weeks, a week short of two years, and rewrote the rulebook for how the city experienced movies. "For Kolkata audiences, 'Sholay' was not just a film; it was an event, an initiation into a new era of spectacle," said Jyoti Choukhani, owner of Bharat Laxmi Studio and Navina Cinema Hall. Movie halls needed superior projection quality to have that effect. Thus, the upgrades were far from cosmetic. In the mid-1970s, most Indian films were shot in 35 mm, but Sholay was converted to 70 mm with stereophonic sound in London — a process impossible to do in India at the time, Choukhani added. Jyoti's technical preparedness meant that when Kolkata finally got 'Sholay', it wasn't just screening a film, it was experiencing an imported technological marvel. The original owners of Jyoti, the Mansata family, went to extraordinary lengths to ensure that the viewing experience matched the grandeur of the film, said Asish Banerjee, the current secretary of the Eastern India Motion Picture Association (EIMPA). They installed a massive 70 mm screen — one of the few in eastern India — and a state-of-the-art stereophonic sound system tailored for 'Sholay'. "I vividly recall the scene where Amitabh tosses the coin and it lands on its edge," said longtime moviegoer Gaurav Gayen, now in his early 70s. "The sound was so sharp and the screen so large, it felt as if the coin landed right at my feet." "My parents' wedding anniversary is always remembered as 'the year Sholay came'," chuckled film-buff Anirban Chatterjee. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now "It became a time marker for our lives." Jyoti's success with 'Sholay' also underscored how a well-equipped cinema could draw repeat crowds and sustain long runs without deficit matinee shows — rare in Kolkata's Hindi film circuit. Not only Jyoti, 'Sholay' was in high demand across Bengal. "Even at Berachampa, our hall (Banirupa) ran housefull for months together after my father managed a print after a long struggle. I still remember how the movie brought fortune to my family," said Subhas Sen, now EIMPA vice-president. His is one of the few theatres from the 'Sholay' era that still survives the flux. Industry insiders note that 'Sholay' also changed the economics for exhibitors. "A film of that scale meant better ticket pricing, longer bookings, and stable revenue for nearly two years," said a retired cinema distributor. "It gave theatres the confidence to invest in sound, projection, and seating." Off-screen, the film's record-breaking run coincided with the coining of the term 'Bollywood' and a redefinition of Hindi commercial cinema. Gabbar Singh's "Kitne aadmi the?" and Jai-Veeru's friendship anthem entered everyday speech. Britannia even used Gabbar in a biscuit ad — the first time a Hindi film villain was tapped to sell a consumer product. Looking back, the story of 'Sholay' in Kolkata is as much about new cinema vision as it is about the film itself. By marrying technological ambition with a once-in-a-generation film, the Mansatas gave the city a cinematic memory that still echoes, stereophonically, through time.

Country singer Ella Langley cancels concerts with Morgan Wallen, here is why
Washington DC [US], August 13 (ANI): Singer-songwriter Ella Langley, who has been opening for Morgan Wallen on his I'm the Problem Tour, announced she was "sad" to be canceling the rest of her August performances to focus on her health, reported E! News. "The past several weeks have been tough," Ella wrote in a statement shared to Instagram, adding, "I've been fighting sickness and feeling more run down than ever. After a lot of thought, I've made the hard decision to take a couple of weeks to rest and focus on my health--mind, body, and heart." She added, "I want to be fully present for all the moments ahead, and I know I can't do that without first taking care of myself." The singer further informed her fans that she is "ready to give you my all" when she returns to the stage in September. "Sometimes we have to listen when our bodies and hearts are telling us to slow down," Ella continued. "I'm so grateful for your understanding and your love--it truly means the world to me," reported E! News. It wasn't the first time the musician--who is nominated for the 2025 MTV Video Music Award for Best New Artist alongside Alex Warren, Lola Young, The Marias, Gigi Perez and Sombr--has been vulnerable with her audiences. In fact, she celebrated with her fans and her co-writer Joybeth Taylor last month when her song "Weren't for the Wind" hit No. 1 on country radio, reported E! News. "Theres no telling how many hours me and @joybethtaylor have put into having this moment together," Ella wrote in a July 6 Instagram post. "Since that day on my back porch (the day we wrote our first song) we've dreamt about getting a #1 together. Sure, there have been many days that it seemed pretty much impossible, but we always believed." She added, "Sitting a on plane flying back to Nashville with tears rolling out of my eyes thinking about how much we've talked about this moment and what it means to actually have it together. We did it," reported E! News. (ANI)
