Inside Sonam Kapoor's Birthday Bash - Bhumi Pednekar Shares Video Revealing Cakes, Cocktails Menu And More
Sonam Kapoor turned a day older today, June 9. The actress celebrated her 40th birthday by throwing an extravagant party at her home in Mumbai. The star-studded bash was attended by the who's who of Bollywood, including Kareena Kapoor, Saif Ali Khan, Bhumi Pednekar, Karan Johar, Karisma Kapoor, Janhvi Kapoor, Rhea Kapoor and Khushi Kapoor, among others. Birthdays are never complete without a flavourful cake, and Sonam followed the ritual thoroughly. In one video posted by Bhumi Pednekar on her Instagram Stories, we see the birthday girl cutting not one but two delicious cakes as the guests clapped and sang the 'Happy Birthday' song for her.
The first cake was a lip-smacking blueberry cake. The creamy butterscotch layers were topped with multiple blueberries that had us drooling. The words 'Happy Birthday Sonam' were written on a white chocolate cube. After blowing the candles and cutting the cake, Sonam turned her attention to the second sugary wonder. It was a chocolate lover's dream, created with loads and loads of dark and rich chocolate. The appetising number was garnished with edible pearls and additional chocolate slices. For a vibrant touch, the cake was served with macarons.
Kept on a table just beside the two tasty cakes was a bowl of juicy cherries. Additionally, a medley of cocktails was listed on a chalkboard. There was Negroni – a bold and bittersweet Italian cocktail, Old Fashioned - a whiskey cocktail, Whisky Sour cocktail, cucumber basil smash – a warm-weather beverage made with either gin or vodka alongside fresh cucumber slices, basil leaves and lemon juice. That is not all. The cocktail menu also featured two types of martini – classic and dirty. Classic Martinis typically come with a simple gin or vodka base and dry vermouth. On the other hand, Dirty Martini offers a splash of olive brine twist to the signature cocktail, giving the drink a savoury and briny spin.
Here's a snap of Sonam Kapoor striking a happy pose with a glass of martini in her hands.

World's most popular TikTok star Khaby Lame leaves the U.S. after being detained by ICE
LAS VEGAS — Khaby Lame, the world's most popular TikTok personality with millions of followers, has left the U.S. after being detained by immigration agents in Las Vegas for allegedly overstaying his visa. The Senegalese-Italian influencer, whose legal name is Seringe Khabane Lame, was detained Friday at Harry Reid International Airport but was allowed to leave the country without a deportation order, a spokesperson for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement confirmed in a statement. Lame arrived in the U.S. on April 30 and 'overstayed the terms of his visa,' the ICE spokesperson said. The Associated Press sent a message seeking comment Tuesday to the email address listed on Lame's Instagram account. He has not publicly commented on his detainment. His detainment and voluntary departure from the U.S. comes amid President Donald Trump's escalating crackdown on immigration, including raids in Los Angeles that sparked days of protests against ICE, as the president tests the bounds of his executive authority. A voluntary departure — which was granted to Lame — allows those facing removal from the U.S. to avoid a deportation order on their immigration record, which could prevent them from being allowed back into the U.S. for up to a decade. The 25-year-old rose to international fame during the pandemic without ever saying a word in his videos, which would show him reacting to absurdly complicated 'life hacks." He has over 162 million followers on TikTok alone. The Senegal-born influencer moved to Italy when he was an infant with his working class parents and has Italian citizenship. His internet fame quickly evolved. He signed a multi-year partnership with designer brand Hugo Boss in 2022. In January, he was appointed as a UNICEF goodwill ambassador. Last month, he attended the Met Gala in New York City, days after arriving in the U.S.

Tinnu Anand recalls his ‘dirty job' offering Rs 5,000 to Amitabh Bachchan for his first film ‘Saat Hindustani'
In Bollywood, only a select few have successfully earned admiration both as actors and directors, and is one of them. He is widely recognized for his diverse acting roles in movies such as 'Ghajini' starring Aamir Khan, 'Ghatak' with Sunny Deol, 'Merry Christmas' featuring Katrina Kaif, and the ensemble film 'Lajja'. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Besides acting, Tinnu made a mark behind the camera by directing iconic films like 'Kaalia' and 'Shahenshah'. Family Opposition and Passion for Filmmaking Though Inder Raj Anand was a prominent writer in the film world, he opposed his son Tinnu Anand's desire to join the industry. Driven by his passion for filmmaking and a strong ambition to direct, Tinnu challenged his father's wishes. Distressed by this, Inder Raj Anand decided to enroll him at the Satyajit Ray School, hoping to divert his path. Choosing Satyajit Ray Over Raj Kapoor and Fellini In an interview with Rediff, Tinnu shared the reasons behind his decision to train under Satyajit Ray. He explained that although he had the opportunity to work with Raj Kapoor, who was a family friend and had collaborated with his father on several scripts, he felt that connection was too close for comfort. Another option was the renowned Italian filmmaker Federico Fellini, which appealed to him because it offered a chance to go to Italy. However, Fellini insisted that Tinnu learn Italian first, a commitment of six months that he wasn't willing to make. Consequently, he chose to study with Ray instead. The 'Dirty Job': Offering Rs 5,000 to Amitabh Bachchan During the same conversation, Tinnu shared how he was tasked with the 'dirty job' of offering Amitabh a fee of Rs 5,000 for his role in Khwaja Ahmad Abbas' film 'Saat Hindustani'. He explained that actress Neena Singh had recommended Amitabh for the part, but Abbas insisted that Amitabh cover his own expenses to come to Mumbai for auditions. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now This marked the beginning of Amitabh's journey to the city of dreams. Reflecting on the moment, Tinnu recalled, 'I was the one who took him to Abbas Saab's office. In the evening, I was given the dirty job of offering Amitabh Rs 5,000 for the entire film, whether it took one year or five to make." Career Growth and On-Set Challenges Following his role in 'Saat Hindustani', Tinnu acted in several films before making a name for himself as a director with movies such as 'Kaalia' and 'Shahenshah'. During the production of his third collaboration with Bachchan, 'Shanakht', Tinnu faced a tense confrontation with Madhuri Dixit when she declined to perform a daring scene opposite Bachchan. Personal Life On the personal front, Tinnu is married to Shahnaz, who is the daughter of the well-known veteran actor Agha.
