Actor Hailee Steinfeld marries Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen in dreamy ceremony
Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen and actor Hailee Steinfeld tied the knot on Saturday, according to multiple media reports. Pictures emerged from the power couple's wedding that took place in Southern California, where both Allen and Steinfeld live. Photos obtained by People magazine show Steinfeld, in a white strapless gown, walking down the aisle as well as the couple sharing a kiss. The timing and location of the wedding were closely guarded secrets, though Bills left tackle Dion Dawkins let the cat out of the bag in March by revealing the date as May 31. He later backtracked, saying he didn't know anything. Despite the pending wedding, Allen was present for the start of the Bills voluntary series of spring practices, which opened on Tuesday. The Bills return to practice on Monday, though Allen isn't scheduled to address the media until the Bills open their mandatory sessions on June 10.

The two were first linked in the spring of 2023, when they were photographed dining together in New York City. Steinfeld has since begun attending Bills home games and the couple was inseparable at the NFL Awards ceremony in February, when Allen credited Steinfeld upon accepting the league's MVP honor. Allen followed suit in April in being spotted with Steinfeld arriving for an after-party following premier of the movie Sinners, which stars Steinfeld.

Saunkan Saunkanay 2 Worldwide Opening Weekend Box Office: Ammy Virk, Sargun Mehta & Nimrat Khaira starrer collects Rs 14.50 crore in 3 days; Aims to emerge HIT
Punjabi film Saunkan Saunkanay 2 looks set to emerge a winner at the Indian box office after a long time. The film grossed Rs. 8 crore in India during its first weekend, with a solid trend over the weekend. Additionally, it earned Rs. 6.50 crore (USD 750K) overseas, giving the Sargun Mehta, Nimrat Khaira and Ammy Virk fronted film a global weekend of Rs. 14.50 crore. The film had a good opening day on Friday, but there were concerns of a drop on Saturday, owing to the fact that it had some holiday support on Friday and word of mouth wasn't particularly good. However, the film did well on Saturday staying flat and then got the big Sunday surge when family audiences come in strong. The film has passed the weekend test and now it comes to Monday. A good hold today will cement the HIT status of the film, which will make it the first in nearly nine months since Ardaas 3. During the period, there were a couple of HITs overseas, some even did BLOCKBUSTER business, but domestically, it's been a drought. The box office for Punjabi films has shifted dramatically in the last couple of years, with a huge migration trend which has resulted in a shrinking domestic market and huge growth overseas. Overseas being higher than domestic used to be a rare sight, but it is a common occurrence now. That said, there's still a slightly muted sentiment surrounding Saunkan Saunkanay 2. Its first weekend numbers fall short of the original, which collected Rs. 11 crore in India and USD 950K overseas. A sequel collecting below the original is not an optimal scenario, as generally, sequels score big in Punjabi cinema. This was seen coming with the trailer and music being a notch below the original and the fact that the original wasn't probably that well appreciated. Nonetheless, it's good to see numbers being back for Punjabi films. End of the month will see a big release in Sardaar Ji 3, hope will be for it to set the box office on fire and set some new benchmarks.

Adnana Sami says money isn't the ‘real reason' why he gave up Pakistan, chose India on Asha Bhosle's advice: ‘I gave up properties worth crores in Pak'
Adnan Sami, Pakistan-born singer and composer, became an Indian citizen in 2016. While he has received flak from across the border for the move, Sami has maintained that he's proud to be a part of India. Sami was even awarded the Padma Shri, the fourth highest civilian award of the Republic of India, earlier this year. In a new interview, Sami revealed the real reason why he started making music in India. 'After the songs I released in 1998, people in the Pakistani music industry thought I'm finished. So they didn't provide any marketing for those songs. Nobody got to know when the album released and vanished. I was very dejected. I was in Canada at that time. I knew they'd done that on purpose,' recalled Sami. In the interview with India TV, Sami recalled discussing the issue with legendary singer Asha Bhosle. She had sung popular tracks like 'Kabhi To Nazar Milao' from his 1997 album Badaltey Mausam with Sami. 'I told Asha ji I'm dejected because people here have decided they don't want to work with me for whatever reason, and that I want to record with her in London,' said Sami. ''Why do you want to record in London?' she asked me. I said I know some people there. So she said, 'See, if you really want to do something new, come to Mumbai. This is the capital of Hindi music. Whatever gets popular here would spread out to the rest of the world. So this is the place to come,'' Sami recalled his conversation with Bhosle. 'Main boriya bistar le ke pahuch gaya Mumbai,' said Sami, claiming that Bhosle and her entire family took very good care of him. Bhosle was married to legendary music composer RD Burman, who died in 1994. 'She made me stay in RD Burman's home. I was very lucky because it was like a music temple,' recalled Sami. 'The songs that didn't work in Pakistan, like 'Kabhi To Nazar Milao', 'Bheegi Bheegi Raaton Mein', 'Lift Karadey', they were marketed so well that the rest is history. The way people embraced me and loved me, I could've never imagined it,' added Sami. Bheegi Bheegi Raaton Mein and Lift Karadey were part of Sami's 2000 hit album Always Yours. Sami revealed not just him, but legends like ghazal maestros Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and Mehdi Hassan, and folk singer Reshma, did thrive in Pakistan, but their popularity grew by four times. 'You can't deny the audience and the masses are in huge quantity today. The attitude and respect for music here can't be matched anywhere else,' said Sami. He lamented the fact that Hassan and Reshma saw very horrific last days and deaths despite being masters of their profession. 'The audience loves them and has always praised them. But the authorities have never offered any help. These are just a few names. There have been many others like this, including actors,' added Sami. The singer also responded to the letter then-Pakistan President General Pervez Musharraf wrote to his father in 2005, criticizing him for abandoning Pakistan. 'There was no truth to that letter. In 2005, I wasn't an Indian citizen. I was a Pakistani citizen. I don't know where he got the wrong information from. It's obvious that it's gone from the bottom to the top. That's why everyone just disowned me,' Sami recalled. Also Read — Adnan Sami's Pakistani fans told him they want to change citizenship as they 'hate their army': 'You left in good time' He revealed that he didn't apply for Indian citizenship for money as he left his inherited properties worth crores back in Pakistan. 'Money wasn't my driving force. In fact, when I came here, I had to start from scratch again,' said Sami. 'I was facing a lot of problems then as a Pakistani citizen, especially in a public profession. Everyone knows all your moves. I had even reached out to Musharraf for help,' said Sami. He consequently applied for Indian citizenship in 2015, which he was granted the next year.
