Brook opens up on verbal volleys during Lord's Test
Tempers flared during England's 22-run win at Lord's with players from both sides engaging in verbal volleys. However, star England batter Harry Brook, stated that his team tried playing 'in the spirit of the game as much as possible' before the Indian players provoked them on the third evening. 'Their lads went hard at Creeps [Zak Crawley] and Ducky [Ben Duckett] on that night when Bumrah bowled that single over. We watched that and we re-assessed and we thought it was the right time to go (hit) back at them,' Brook said on Monday. 'I think it put them under a little bit more pressure. Obviously, (they were) chasing a low score but on a tough pitch. It might have given them that little bit of added pressure. Thankfully, they ended up crumbling, and we won the game.' England managed to defend 192, and Brook revealed that he received several compliments for the memorable victory. 'I have had a lot of compliments. Everybody said it was awesome to watch and it looked like there were 11 versus two out there when we were fielding. It was good fun; it was tiring, but it made fielding a lot more enjoyable,' he said.

Meet actress who was in love with actor from a famous family, her engagement with famous producer was broken, she is still single, name is...
In the realm of Indian cinema, few actresses have maintained an air of mystery around their personal lives while delivering consistently powerful performances. This enigmatic star, known for her versatility and depth, has often been the subject of public curiosity regarding her relationships. Despite being linked with several prominent figures, she has chosen to keep her personal affairs private, focusing instead on her illustrious career. Who is this actress? Here we are talking about one of the finest actresses in Indian Cinema, Tabu, born as Tabassum Fatima Hashmi. Her journey in the film industry has been marked by critically acclaimed roles and a deliberate choice to remain single. Tabu's first known relationship was with actor Sanjay Kapoor during the filming of their debut movie, 'Prem,' helmed by renowned actor-director Late Satish Kaushik. Although their romance was short-lived, it garnered significant media attention. Subsequently, she was linked to director-producer Sajid Nadiadwala. Their relationship reportedly blossomed during the making of the film 'Sunny Deol- Salman Khan starrer Jeet.' However, Sajid's lingering feelings for his late wife, Divya Bharti, created a barrier to commitment, leading to their eventual separation. Was Tabu in relationship with Nagarjuna? Perhaps the most talked-about chapter in Tabu's personal life was her decade-long relationship with South Indian superstar Nagarjuna Akkineni. Despite Nagarjuna being married, their bond was strong and enduring. Tabu reportedly hoped for a future together, but realizing that Nagarjuna would not leave his wife, she chose to end the relationship. This decision, though painful, highlighted her strength and self-respect. Interestingly, Nagarjuna has referred to Tabu as a 'fantastic friend,' indicating the depth of their past connection. More about Tabu On the professional front, Tabu continues to captivate audiences with her performances. In 2023, she starred in the spy thriller 'Khufiya,' directed by Vishal Bhardwaj, portraying a Research and Analysis Wing operative. The film received positive reviews, with critics praising Tabu's nuanced performance. In 2024, she appeared in the female-led heist comedy 'Crew,' alongside Kareena Kapoor Khan and Kriti Sanon. The film was a commercial success, and Tabu's portrayal of a seasoned flight attendant was lauded for its depth and humor. Looking ahead, Tabu is set to play a formidable antagonist in Telugu director Puri Jagannadh's upcoming film, sharing the screen with Tamil actor Vijay Sethupathi. Filming has commenced, with scenes being shot in Chennai and Hyderabad.

Actor Silambarasan provides financial help to late stuntman SM Raju's family after tragic accident on 'Vettuvam' set
In a deeply moving act of solidarity, actor Silambarasan TR has quietly provided financial support to the family of veteran stuntman SM Raju, who tragically lost his life while performing a dangerous car stunt on the set of 'Vettuvam', directed by Pa. Ranjith. Despite having no involvement in the film, Silambarasan's gesture has touched hearts across the Tamil film industry. The fatal incident occurred on July 13, 2025 during the filming of a high-risk action sequence. While preliminary reports suggest that basic safety protocols were in place, the accident has reignited urgent discussions about the safety and welfare of stunt performers, who often risk their lives for on-screen spectacle. Silambarasan's contribution came to light during an emotional interview with renowned stunt choreographer Silva Master, who praised the actor not only for his timely financial aid but also for his ongoing charitable efforts, often carried out without fanfare. 'Silambarasan didn't have anything to do with the film, but he stepped in for the family without any publicity,' said Silva. 'It's not the first time he's done something like this. He always helps quietly, from the heart.' SM Raju's death has sent shockwaves through the industry, and condolences have been pouring in from actors, technicians, and fans alike. Legal proceedings have also been initiated under sections 289, 125, and 106(1) of the Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita (BNS) against director Pa. Ranjith, stunt coordinator Vinoth, Rajkamal from Neelam Productions, and vehicle owner Prabhakaran. While the production of 'Vettuvam', which stars Arya in the lead role, is currently under review pending investigation, the tragic loss has highlighted systemic gaps in on-set safety — particularly for stunt artists who often go under-recognised despite their life-threatening work. Meanwhile, Silambarasan TR, last seen in 'Thug Life' directed by Mani Ratnam, is currently working on 'STR49', a highly anticipated collaboration with director Vetri Maaran set within the Vada Chennai universe. Though not a direct sequel, the project has garnered considerable buzz among fans.
