Kr$na's ‘Yours Truly'
When KR$NA's new mixtape, Yours Truly, reached No. 1 on Apple Music's Top Albums chart within 24 hours of release last month, the hip-hop star felt validated. He made the record at a point in his life when he was unsure of his next move. 'For a while, I was like, 'What can I do that will be liked [by the public] and satisfy me artistically?'' says KR$NA of the collection that's been put out in partnership with Mass Appeal, the label co-founded by one of his idols, American MC Nas.

Why Materialists Star Pedro Pascal Has Been The Internet's Sweetheart Lately
New Delhi: It's difficult to pinpoint that one viral moment that crowned Pedro Pascal as the Internet's 'zaddy'. The Chilean and American actor's evolution from a popular actor oozing loads of charm to becoming a social media sweetheart has been in the making for a while now. Fans drooling over his quirks with The Materialists co-stars Dakota Johnson and Chris Evans to pining for him after videos of his sensational 'Sleeveless Muscle Tank Top' moments at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival red carpet last month went viral on social media, the rise and rise of Pedro Pascal doesn't appear to be a strategic move to promote his new movie, which hit the screens on Friday. The 50-year-old actor shot to fame over a decade ago with his breakout role as the complex yet charismatic and a formidable fighter, Oberyn Martell who gained a fan-following in the fourth season of the HBO fantasy series Game of Thrones. 'i can't wear a mask, i have breathing problems' ok?? Pedro Pascal literally has the BROADEST fucking shoulders know to man and still wears shirts — jenna ☀️ (@seminerdist) February 7, 2021 What really cemented his standing as a beloved actor was his kinder onscreen versions in shows such as The Mandalorian and The Last Of Us. In The Mandalorian, he won hearts as a gruff but instinctively paternal character of Din Djarin, a Mandalorian bounty hunter. He made the character humane and relatable which left a lasting impression. In The Last Of Us as well, he portrays the character of Joe Miller, a post-apocalyptic survivor who's consumed by internal conflicts and fatherly instincts as he escorts Ellie (Bella Ramsey), a young girl with immunity to the fungal infection, across the United States. pedro pascal in the last of us (2025) — screencaps (@screenscaps) June 9, 2025 This adulation grew organically over time, with his mentions ruling Reddit conversations, social media memes, and TikTok reels. Pedro took it all in good humour and joked about playing an integral part in shaping the trend that is "Internet's sweetheart". The year 2025 saw him reclaim this status. Crazy, Stupid, "Affair" To begin with, there were dating rumours about Jennifer Aniston and him floating around. Not every day that you see OG 'It girl' Jennifer Aniston of Friends fame and Internet's latest boyfriend Pedro Pascal wrapping up dinner at a West Hollywood restaurant. Social media went berserk when pictures of the two, what seemingly looked like cozying up, near the valet area of the upscale eatery, went viral online. JENNIFER ANISTON E PEDRO PASCAL JUNTOS VEM AÍ UMA COISA MUITO FORTE — annabel (@annaisabellag) March 23, 2025 But social media was abuzz with comments like, 'Jennifer Aniston with Pedro Pascal having dinner!? Am I dreaming!? Please.' Unfortunately, the shipping didn't work as an insider revealed that they were 'just friends'. A close source told TMZ that the dinner pictures that led to speculation were taken out of context. It wasn't really a date as there were other people for dinner as well. There have been talks about Pedro joining the cast of Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon's popular series The Morning Show Season 4. Bringing this back because what if Jennifer Aniston wasn't joking? What if Pedro really sleeps with everyone in the Morning Show?! — Memes of Pascal (@Memesofpascal) March 23, 2025 At the Critics Choice Awards earlier this year, the actor was quite forthcoming about boarding the acclaimed Apple TV+ series. He said, 'Pitch it to me now!' The Pedro Pascal-Jennifer Aniston "love story" had the Internet obsessed for a while. Sing Along To 'Pedro's Arms' The argument about the Cannes 2025 Film Festival being only about movies has been long put to rest. Today, it is the mecca of where films meet fashion. Every look is thoughtfully curated after months of discussions and planning. Whilst you walk, talk, and watch films, there's always that one swoon-worthy moment that secures its place in the highlights section of the Cannes diaries every year. In 2025, the internet was smitten by Pedro Pascal's sculpted arms. All he wore was a sleeveless black tank top with high-waisted flared trousers by Calvin Klein. All we could hear was a collective fawing sigh, an admission of how charming he was. propaganda i will fall for: - pedro pascal's arms - pedro pascal's chest — kels ➃ (@fantasticpascal) May 18, 2025 Pedro Pascal was at the Cannes 2025 Film Festival this year for the premiere of Ari Aster's film Eddington. He will be seen alongside Joaquin Phoenix and Emma Stone, where the plot of the film revolves around the COVID-19 pandemic in a small New Mexico town, and how it led to unprecedented political and personal tensions. Eddington releases next month. The comments section on fan pages were on fire as soon as the images were out and they did not disappoint. 'Pedro's arms!' said an admirer.

Someone else chimed in, 'I want to be Pedro Pascal in my next life.' The Materialist Who Broke The Internet The Materialists released this week. While its first trailer got a roaring response from the audience, the press shoot for the film was on a whole other level altogether.

Before Sunjay Kapur, Priya Sachdev married this businessman, Rs 1000000000 was spent on royal wedding that lasted for 10 days, he is... Indian automotive industry leader and Chairman of Sona Comstar, Sunjay Kapur, breathed his last on Thursday. He was 53 years old. Sunjay was Bollywood actor Karisma Kapoor's former husband. The couple became parents to daughter Samaira in 2005 and son Kiaan in 2011. In 2014, Karisma and Sanjay filed for divorce through mutual consent. Their divorce was finalised in 2016. After the separation, Sunjay married Priya Sachdev. Actor and friend of Sunjay Kapur, Suhel Seth, confirmed the demise of Sunjay Kapur to news agency ANI on Thursday, saying that the industrialist died of a heart attack, apparently after swallowing a bee during a polo match in England. As far as Sunjay Kapur's personal life is concerned, he was married first to Nandita Mahtani. Later, he married the Bollywood actress Karisma Kapoor. They got divorced, and he subsequently married actress and model Priya Sachdev, who was previously married to hotelier Vikram Chatwal. Earlier, Priya married hotelier Vikram Chatwal. Their lavish wedding was held in 2006, lasted for 10 days, and reportedly cost around Rs 100 crore. According to the NDTV report, the grand celebration saw VIP guests from 126 countries around the world. However, despite the extravagant affair, their marriage lasted only five years. Soon, the couple got divorced in 2011. From her first marriage, Priya has a daughter, and after marrying Sanjay Kapur, she had a son with him. Priya Sachdev's first husband, Vikram Chatwal, is 53 years old. Vikram was born in Ethiopia. His family moved to Canada in the 1970s and then to New York in 1980. His father invested in fine dining restaurants and the hotel industry once they lived in New York. Vikram is of Indian Sikh descent. He finished his schooling at the United Nations International School. Furthermore, he earned a graduate degree from the Wharton School of Business in 1993. After graduating, Vikram worked at a large American multinational bank and investment firm. Just a few hours before his demise, Sunjay had expressed grief over the tragic Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad. 'Terrible news of the tragic Air India crash in Ahmedabad. My thoughts and prayers are with all the families affected. May they find strength in this difficult hour. #planecrash,' reads Sunjay's last post on X(formerly Twitter). Apart from being a businessman, Vikram has been a model, an actor, and a producer. He is also the first Sikh model ever to be on the cover of Vogue magazine. He took over the helm of his family's hospitality business in 1999. Vikram Chatwal made his Hollywood debut in the film Zoolander (2001). He later appeared in One Dollar Curry (2004) and Hope and a Little Sugar (2006). In addition to Hollywood films, he has appeared in Bollywood films, including Ek Ajnabee (2005) with Amitabh Bachchan and Honeymoon Travels Pvt. Ltd. (2007).
