Tyra Banks' love for Australia
In an interview with the Daily Mail, Banks revealed that she loves Sydney's charm and relaxed vibe, while unveiling her ice cream shop 'SMiZE & DREAM.' 'I was coming for about a year and a half and just fell in love with it,' she said. 'And I said, should we make this move? And here we are,' she said.
'I love Darling Harbour because of this park. Tumbalong Park is magical,' she said, before adding that even before she opened a shop here, she and her family would spend weekends over there.
'I have friends that live an hour and a half away, and on the weekends. They drive here just to go to the water and put their feet in with the kids,' she further continued, and expressed that there's a playground nearby for older and younger kids.
Tyra Banks' favourite ice cream flavour...
About Tyra's ice cream brand, she said it feels personal. When asked about her favourite scoop, she said while laughing, 'My favourite flavour is called Tyra's Favourite – very creative, isn't it?' The flavour is salted sweet cream with butter-roasted pecans and a thick, savoury caramel butter swirl.
'It's not your traditional ice cream taste – it has this surprising, rich sensation in the mouth,' she continued. Furthermore, she also dropped the crumbs about a potential collaboration with her fellow Australian friend. The friend is famous, and Banks is excited that she is interested in doing something with her.
Tyra Banks wants to encourage women...
Tyra hopes to achieve big, beyond her ice cream brand. She said that she wants to encourage women to reinvent themselves irrespective of their age. 'But we have to know our stuff. Unfortunately, women, we have to be better. We have to be smarter. We have to know more,' she said, before adding, 'Just go deep, study hard, walk into that room head held high. You're going to hear 'no's – but one day you're going to get that 'yes'.
And you just have to be ready for it.'

Superstar Rajinikanth 's latest film 'Coolie' directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, had a thunderous start at the box office during the Independence Day weekend. But after the long holiday run, the film is now seeing a dip in collections as weekdays kick in. Despite the slowdown, the Rajinikanth action drama has crossed the big Rs 200 crore mark in India, a milestone that keeps fans celebrating. However, the film is facing stiff competition as Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR's 'War 2' also released on the same day. 'Coolie' box office collection day 6 According to early estimates by Sacnilk, On Tuesday, 'Coolie' brought in around Rs 9.50 crore. This took the total collection of 'Coolie' in India to Rs 216 crore net by Day 6. 'Coolie' box office opening day numbers On its release day, a Thursday, 'Coolie' made a massive opening with Rs 65 crore in India. This strong start gave the film an edge over its rivals and set the tone for a promising run. The Friday numbers, however, showed the first signs of a dip. The film dropped by more than 15% and brought in Rs 54.75 crore. Still, this was a strong collection for a non-holiday weekday.
