The Crown (2016–2017)
Playing Queen Elizabeth II's younger sister in the first two seasons of Netflix's The Crown, Kirby gave us a version of Princess Margaret that was raw, rebellious and endlessly stylish. The role earned her an Emmy nomination and turned her into a global name. Even if you are not into monarchy drama, her emotional complexity will have you hooked.
Pieces of a Woman (2020)
Kirby gave one of the most gut-wrenching performances of her career as Martha, a grieving mother navigating unimaginable trauma. Her role in Pieces of a Woman earned her an Academy Award nomination and praise for portraying emotional pain with authenticity and restraint. It is a tough watch, but an essential one.
The World to Come (2020)
In this underrated indie gem, Kirby plays Tallie, a woman trapped in a toxic marriage who finds solace and love in an unexpected friendship with another farmer's wife. The chemistry, the heartbreak, the poetry of it all, The World to Come is a slow-burn masterpiece that lets Kirby's emotional range shine.
Mission: Impossible – Fallout (2018)
Kirby joined the Mission: Impossible franchise in its sixth instalment as Alanna Mitsopolis, aka the White Widow, a seductive, calculating arms dealer. Paired against Tom Cruise's Ethan Hunt, Kirby brought a sleek confidence and mystery to the role that made her unforgettable in a film packed with stunts and spectacle.
Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning (2023)
Her White Widow returned in Dead Reckoning with more screen time and an even more nuanced edge. Kirby added emotional stakes and charm to the high-octane chaos, proving she can hold her own in a franchise built on adrenaline. It is her best action performance yet, until Marvel, that is.

Kapil Sharma's weight loss secret: How the ace comedian lost 11 kgs in 63 days with just THIS rule
Kapil Sharma's weight loss secret: How the ace comedian lost 11 kgs in 63 days with just THIS rule Kapil Sharma's surprising weight loss transformation caught everyone's eye. Known for his impeccable comic timing, the ace comedian is now earning all the love for his new, lean and confident avatar. Behind the drastic change is not just a diet plan or rigorous training, but a well-planned lifestyle led by his fitness trainer Yogesh Bhateja. Yogesh, who has trained many Bollywood biggies like Farah Khan, Kangana Ranuat, and Sonu Sood, shared that Kapil's weight loss journey wasn't an easy one. But through disciplined lifestyle, smart approach and a technique called the 21-21-21 rule, his habits reshaped and inspired him to shed those extra pounds. Kapil Sharma's weight loss journey Yogesh started training Kapil at home, using basic tools like resistance bands and Yoga mat. Gym equipments were later added in his fitness journey. Describing the first day of his training, Yogesh said, 'The story of Day 1 is actually pretty funny. I asked him to do stretches, and because he hadn't moved his body in a long time, even simple movements like arm rotations, body twists, and toe touches caused him discomfort. His expressions were so exaggerated and comic… From the very next day, he was back on schedule, and we began with basic movements. That's when I realised how stiff his body had become; there was no food discipline, and a lot of inflammation in his body.' What made things worse for Kapil Sharma during his weight loss programme? Yogesh revealed that Kapil's hectic lifestyle made things more challenging for him. 'Since Kapil was the main guy, the responsibility on him was even greater. He was sleep-deprived, his diet had no set pattern, and he would eat at odd times. There was no discipline. It took me a long time, along with his manager and team, to bring some alignment into his lifestyle. But by God's grace, when his film came out, everyone saw the difference on screen,' he added. Kapil Sharma's diet plan In his diet, Yogesh made few changes, by instructing him to have more fish, calling it 'a great source of protein that helps manage calories.' He also included a good amount of vegetables in his meals. Kapil Sharma on the professional front While Kapil's weight has shoot up and down in the past, he's now in great shape, inspiring fans with his dashing pictures on social media. Meanwhile, on the work front, Kapil is current hosting The Great Indian Kapil Sharma Show Season 3 on Netflix. He also shared the first look of the sequel of his 2015 film Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon during Eid.
