Their visit to the school evokes a sense of innocence, youth and shared history that deeply resonates with viewers.
'We went back to school after 40 years. Walking down those corridors, sitting in those same classrooms, giggling… look at us, who would say we are a bunch of 56-year-olds? Look at the playground—so many dreams were seen here, so many dreams fulfilled," said the woman.

Prabhas' Aunt Drops Major Hint About His Wedding, Says ‘Awaiting Lord Shiva's Blessings'
Last Updated: Prabhas' aunt Shyamala Devi has revealed the family is actively working towards his wedding, expressing hope it will happen soon with Lord Shiva's blessings. Prabhas, one of the most popular and loved South Indian superstars, is known for keeping his personal life extremely private. His marriage has long been a topic of speculation among fans, who are eager to see the Baahubali star take the next big step in life. While the actor remains tight-lipped on the subject, a recent revelation by his aunt, Shyamala Devi, has reignited excitement. In a video that quickly went viral, Shyamala Devi can be seen speaking to the media about Prabhas' wedding. She said, 'When Lord Shiva's blessings are bestowed, Prabhas will get married. We are all making efforts for his marriage, and we hope that, with Lord Shiva's grace, it will happen soon." Her candid statement has sparked fresh conversations online, with fans eagerly awaiting official news from the star himself. The Raja Saab: Prabhas Ventures Into Horror Territory On the work front, Prabhas is gearing up for a unique cinematic experience with The Raja Saab, his first full-fledged horror entertainer. The film's first motion poster, released earlier this year, hinted at an intriguing mix of supernatural elements and old-school charm. Directed by Maruthi, who is celebrated for blending humour with emotion, the film promises to deliver a horror story packed with entertainment. Backed by People Media Factory, The Raja Saab boasts grand production values. Cinematographer Karthik Palani and music composer Thaman S are key contributors to the project. Interestingly, Thaman revealed that instead of finalizing songs before shooting, the team opted for an unconventional approach, allowing him to revisit compositions during production. Thaman shared in a March interview, 'I prefer this process because Prabhas sir is making a comeback with commercial songs after a long time. He has an intro song, a melody, a high-energy dance number, and a love song that serves as the film's theme." With the audio rights fetching around Rs 30–40 crore, Thaman is determined to ensure the music connects with audiences nationwide. The film stars Malavika Mohanan, Nidhhi Agerwal, and Ridhi Kumar alongside Prabhas, promising a visually captivating and emotionally engaging horror entertainer. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Is Taylor Swift releasing a new album? Here's what we know
Taylor Swift is reportedly entering her new era, and the shade card screams that she's finally getting her colour back! The billionaire popstar is renowned for dropping crumbs along the way, whether it's music videos or introducing a whole new concept to channel her emotions. Throughout Swift's discography, she attached a specific colour to her music albums, and the fans went along with it, creating a rainbow of lyrics, tracks, chants, and many more. Taylor Swift's new era colour screams Orange In a recent Instagram post by the official management team's handle, Taylor's Nation, the singer gave a stupendous easter egg by allegedly revealing the official colour of the next era, which suggests a brand-new album. Posting a carousel of snippets from the Eras Tour, the highest-grossing tour, they gave a thread of Taylor's orange outfits from various performances, ranging from the 'Evermore' dress to the 'Lover' suit. Captioning the post with 12 pictures, it said, 'Thinking about when she said, "See you next era…' ❤️🔥' The new colour suggests the transition from the grey and sepia tones, which were the colours of her previous heartbreaking album, to the shades of sunrise, indicating the brighter and upbeat music record. Taylor Swift is likely to collaborate with Sabrina Carpenter Oh, that's not all. The account stealthily posted an image of Sabrina Carpenter and Taylor Swift at the end of the series. While the picture could simply highlight the colours worn by the 'Mastermind' singer, the radar points at a collaboration between the two singers. For the unversed, the 26-year-old singer is releasing her upcoming album 'Man's Best Friend' on August 29, 2025. About Taylor Swift For the past couple of months, Taylor Swift has been thriving with her beau, Travis Kelce , the leading NFL star. While she witnessed a couple of setbacks in her personal life concerning friendships, Swift recently acquired all the rights to her previous masters, making her one of the rare artists to own her art. As the fans await new songs by the acclaimed singer, a couple of the Swifties seemed relieved that the dots they connected previously were accurate.
