Chae Soo Bin spotted shooting in Mumbai
A few clips of Chae Soo Bin filming on the rain-soaked streets of Mumbai — surrounded by her entourage — have taken over social media. The ever-stunning South Korean star is seen rocking a white top, black and white knitted cardigan, and a grey mini skirt, effortlessly pulling off a youthful, fresh look that fans can't stop gushing over. In one moment, she flashes a warm smile at someone not visible in the video, while her team huddles around a sheet of paper, possibly going over a scene or sequence.
So why's Chae Soo Bin in India?
According to Namaste Hallyu, Chae Soo Bin is in India to shoot for none other than the footwear brand Crocs. Turns out this unexpected Mumbai trip is all about comfy kicks. And, it checks out as eagle-eyed fans have already noticed that the actress ditched her usual chic black heels for a pair of Crocs in the viral videos.
Fans were quick to storm the viral video with fun comments. One fan joked, "Wait, we are finally in the Hallyu map?" Another wrote, "So happy to see Indokorea collabs." Other fans couldn't stop gushing about her beauty, writing, "she's so pretty."
What's next for Chae Soo Bin?
While Chae Soo Bin is currently soaking up the Mumbai monsoon for her Crocs shoot, she's also got a major project lined up this summer. Omniscient Reader: The Prophecy — a high-octane fantasy-action film — is gearing up for a theatrical release in July 2025, and it's already generating major hype due to its star power.
Based on the wildly popular webtoon of the same name, the movie boasts a star-studded lineup featuring Lee Min Ho, Ahn Hyo Seop, BLACKPINK's Jisoo, Nana, and of course, Chae Soo Bin herself. With that kind of cast and source material, it's safe to say expectations are sky-high.

Siddharth Singh Longjam, Additional Secretary and Financial Advisor in the Ministry of Defence, class of 1990, recalled his initial days. "When you sit in the cafe, you tend to overhear, or you are sitting and quietly listening to a lot of colleagues who are experts in speaking. That kind of learning experience is equivalent to reading hundreds of books every day," he shared. Dedicating his success to the college, economist Prasenjit Basu from the class of 1986, said, "You get to widen your intellectual horizons in college to an extent that is almost impossible to replicate anywhere else." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like They were so beautiful before; look at them now; number 10 will shock you Boite A Scoop Undo This is a very special institution that shapes people's character Anjum Chopra, class of '97 Actor Abhinav Chaturvedi (L), class of '87, with economist Prasenjit Basu, (C) class of '86; Arjuna awardee, cricketer Anjum Chopra (R), class of '97 'The proud feeling of being a Stephanian always remains' Whether you graduated in the 70s or are a current Stephenian, you know it's cafe and not a canteen, residence and not a hostel.

Amitabh Bachchan Hosts Sofiya Qureshi, Vyomika Singh At KBC: Highlights From The Episode
Last Updated: The Independence Day KBC episode featured Colonel Sofiya Qureshi, Wing Commander Vyomika Singh and Commander Prerna Deosthalee. The Independence Day special episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC) season 17 offered viewers insights about the planning and execution of Operation Sindoor– India's airstrikes on terror camps in Pakistan and PoK as three decorated women officers of the Indian Armed Forces shared the inside story behind the operation that rattled Pakistan's terror infrastructure. Colonel Sofiya Qureshi, Wing Commander Vyomika Singh (Indian Air Force) and Commander Prerna Deosthalee (Indian Navy) appeared on Friday's episode of Amitabh Bachchan-hosted reality show. These officers had been the public face of the operation during official media briefings. What Happened In The Show? The Bollywood star welcomed the three women officers– Colonel Sofiya Qureshi of the Indian Army, Wing Commander Vyomika Singh of the Indian Air Force and Commander Prerna Deosthalee of the Indian Navy, on the show. While speaking about the ghastly Pahalgam attack, Colonel Quershi said that Pakistan has been doing such acts for many decades and it was necessary to respond to such terror attacks. She said that Operation Sindoor was not a retaliation, but it was a response that this is a new India. The whole world had to be told that there is a new India with a new thinking. 'Pakistan has been carrying out such acts repeatedly. A response was necessary, and that's why Operation Sindoor was planned," she said. Wing Commander Singh highlighted the speed and precision of the strikes, saying, 'From 1:05 am to 1:30 am, we completed the entire operation in just 25 minutes." She also highlighted her personal connection with Pahagam saying that she had spent a lot of time there. She said that Pakistan carried out this attack because it was upset with the tourism there as a record number of tourists visited the town last year. Commander Deosthalee emphasised the mission's planning accuracy, saying, 'Targets were destroyed and no civilians were harmed. That was a top priority for us." Wing Commander Vyomika Singh's mother also praised her daughter's courage and said that she is not just her daughter, but of all of the nation. Colonel Qureshi also revealed that her ancestors have fought for Rani Lakshmi Bai. 'I belong to a family where everyone was in the Army. My great-grandmother's ancestors were with Rani Lakshmi Bai," she was seen telling Bachchan. 'I have not heard lullabies. I have heard tales of bravery, and I have listened to talks that tell the meaning of courage," she added. view comments Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Hailey Bieber brings polka dots back in fashion; ways to style this iconic print
Polka dots are a timeless trend, and can be worn on any occasion. A hit among Bollywood stars in the late 1970s-1980s, the pattern remains a favourite among new-age actors. And with the unofficial queen of social media, Hailey Bieber, flaunting polka dots in her latest Instagram photo dump, how could the trend not have made a comeback? Let's delve into the history of polka dots and learn about the various ways you can style this classic fashion statement: Notably, the earliest known mention of the term 'polka dot' was made in Godey's Lady's Book in 1857. Before this, the dotted pattern was referred to as quinconce or dotted Swiss. Subsequently, during the Industrial Revolution, sewing machines made the circular pattern possible because, before this, hand-sewing led to imperfectly rounded circles, creating a blotchy pattern. The first time the trend came into the modern era was when the first Native American woman to be crowned Miss America, Norma Smallwood, wore a polka dot swimsuit in 1926. Soon, Walt Disney jumped on the bandwagon and redesigned Minnie Mouse's dress with polka dots in the 1940s. Whether you like to go bold and make a statement with larger-than-life dots scattered all over the fabric, or keep it minimal and lowkey with tiny circles, there's a version of polka for everyone. Britney Spears' love for polka can be seen in her dotted hot pink swimsuits and sheer bodycon dresses. From Julia Roberts to Cameron Diaz, Hollywood A-listers have gravitated towards the simple dots to elevate an otherwise simple ensemble and pay tribute to retro fashion. A post shared by XILA MARIA RIVER RED (@britneyspears) The Royal family also has a deep connection with polka dots. Back in 1988, during the Royal Ascot, Princess Diana had looked ravishing in a brown and white polka dot Alessandra Rich dress, a look that was recreated 34 years later by her daughter-in-law, Kate Middleton. The young Royal chose a Victor Edelstein white and polka outfit and paired it with a matching dotted hat and pearl jewellery. A Sall-Ann Provan hat featuring floral accents sat atop her head. Column dresses with polka dots in contrasting shades and colours give your look vibrancy, and the right accessories give your look just the right edge. Take inspiration from Hailey Bieber, whose white summer dress with red dots all over, dewy skin and blushed-up cheeks help her ace the perfect strawberry girl look. Back in the day, Dimple Kapadia's polka dot co-ord from Bobby (1973) made her an instant style icon. A polka dot knotted blouse and matching black made for a simple, breezy outfit that soon went on to become a nostalgic reference for retro fashion enthusiasts. If you find co-ords too much, choose either the top or bottom half of your outfit to carry the polka dot print. For the other half, opt for a simple, solid coloured piece for optimal contrast. Waist cinching belts break the monotony, while textured fabrics such as lace and frill add character to the look. A bold lip, dramatic winged eyeliner or retro accessories such as headbands and scarves can help seal the deal. Commonly seen in children's clothing, bathing suits, and lingerie, this playful print is seeing a resurgence with some of the major celebrities donning this trend. Recently, pop star Britney Spears also expressed her love for polka dots on social media. Read here to find out her thoughts on this iconic fashion staple.
