Meet Arjun Pratap Bajwa, BJP leader's son, model-musician and Sara Ali Khan's rumoured boyfriend
Sara Ali Khan—known for keeping her life private, was spotted once again with Arjun Pratap Bajwa, reigniting the buzz about their alleged romance. The two were seen at a Gurudwara in Delhi early on 29 July 2025, and as usual, their appearance together has fans buzzing. What's the backstory to those rumours? Their connection first caught attention during a Kedarnath trip, a place deeply personal to Sara. Later, they were spotted in Jaisalmer, further fueling speculation. Though the duo shares separate content on social media—and Arjun has denied any romantic links—the net has pieced their story together. Who is Arjun Pratap Bajwa? Son of Punjab BJP leader Fateh Singh Bajwa, Arjun chose his own path, entering fashion and entertainment, not politics. A supermodel known for walking top designer runways in India. A music creator with singles like Thinkin' Bout You, Hellcat, and Enroute. He's also worked behind the scenes in Bollywood—assistive roles and acting in Band of Maharajas, directed by Girish Malik. What did Arjun himself say? Despite the widespread speculation, Arjun firmly denied any romance with Sara, requesting fans and media to stop the rumours. He has repeatedly said he remains focused on his career. Why did the Gurudwara appearance trigger headlines? An early morning visit to a sacred site together—especially given their attempts to appear separate online—made waves. Netizens called it the moment that lit up dating rumours again, especially since Sara rarely shares personal moments, and this outing felt quietly intimate. What does Arjun's lifestyle reveal? Arjun shares his love for adventure sports—hiking, MMA, gymnastics—often posting about trips to mountains like Mount Menthosa. His profile blends art and action: models runway couture by day, crafting music tracks by night. He's built a modest social media presence: around 60K followers on Instagram, where he teases new music video clips and training footage. Whether loved as Sara Ali Khan's low-key 'partner in buzz' or appreciated as an emerging model-actor-musician, Arjun carries attention with subtlety. Every public appearance sends whispers through the internet—but until either one speaks publicly, speculation remains just that.

Christopher Nolan faces backlash for filming The Odyssey in disputed Western Sahara
Director Christopher Nolan has drawn criticism for filming certain portions of his upcoming epic-drama 'The Odyssey' in the Western Sahara. He has sparked controversy as 70% of the region is occupied by has shot the movie in the city of Dakhla, which has been deemed the capital of the Moroccan administrative region of Dakhla-Oued Ed-Dahab, as reported by Variety. Western Sahara is considered a disputed territory which has been classified as "non-self-governing" by the United Nations. The 'The Odyssey' director has come under scrutiny since the region is home to the Indigenous Sahrawi people. Western Sahara is the last remaining African colonial state to achieve independence, with Morocco still claiming control over the majority of its to the Variety report, the Western Sahara International Film Festival (aka FiSahara) — which takes place in Sahrawi refugee camps in Algeria — put out a statement urging Nolan to halt production in the region. The festival's statement read, "Dakhla is not just a beautiful place with cinematic sand dunes. First and foremost, it is an occupied and militarised city whose Indigenous Sahrawi population is subjected to brutal repression by the Moroccan occupation forces." The statement further stated that the production should, "stop filming in Dakhla and stand in solidarity with the Sahrawi people who have been under military occupation for 50 years and who are routinely imprisoned and tortured for their peaceful struggle for self-determination."The festival director, Mara Carrin, further said, "By filming part of 'The Odyssey' in an occupied territory classified as a 'journalistic desert' by Reporters Without Borders, Nolan and his team, perhaps unwittingly, are contributing to Morocco's repression of the Sahrawi people and to the Moroccan regime's efforts to normalise its occupation of Western Sahara. We're sure that if they understood the full implications of filming a high-profile movie in a territory whose Indigenous peoples are unable to make their own films about their stories under occupation, Nolan and his team would be horrified."Actor Javier Bardem, who had appeared at FiSahara in the past, posted the festival's statement on his Instagram handle. His caption read, "For 50 years, Morocco has occupied Western Sahara, expelling the Sahrawi people from their cities. Dakhla is one of them, converted by the Moroccan occupiers into a tourist destination and now a film set, always with the aim of erasing the Sahrawi identity of the city. Another illegal occupation, another repression against a people, the Sahrawi, unjustly plundered with the approval of Western governments, including the Spanish. Free Sahara Now (sic)."The Ministry of Culture of the Polisario Front, the nationalist Sahrawi group seeking to end the occupation through armed resistance, also issued a statement. It read, "This act constitutes a dangerous form of cultural normalisation with the occupation, and an unethical exploitation of art and cinema to whitewash the image of a colonial situation that is still imposed by force and met daily with the steadfast resistance of a people struggling for freedom and dignity."However, Reda Benjelloun of the Moroccan Cinematographic Center told a local outlet, Medias24, last week that the production filming in Dakhla is "extremely important." He argued that this marks the first major Hollywood production to do so. "Dakhla will indeed offer extraordinary opportunities in the future to foreign productions which will find geography very different from other regions of Morocco," he Odyssey', is adapted from Homer's ancient Greek epic poem has also been filmed in Morocco, Greece and Italy. It features Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Zendaya and others in key movie is set for a theatrical release on July 17, 2026.- EndsTrending Reel

Conflict begins to simmer as Gayatri chachi (Kamalika Guha) plots against Tulsi, feeling overshadowed in the household. She urges her son Hemant (Shakti Anand) to claim control, but he refuses, saying Tulsi and Mihir are his role models. Meanwhile, the next-gen trio—Paridhi, Angad, and Ritik—are introduced with their own emotional complexities. Paridhi, feeling alienated, confides in her boyfriend but is cautioned by Angad not to misjudge Tulsi's intentions. A moment of misunderstanding arises when Mihir forgets to wish Tulsi, leaving her heartbroken. But he redeems himself with a heartfelt surprise—gifting her a luxury car and sharing an emotional anniversary wish that brings tears and closure. The episode ends with Gayatri scheming in the shadows while Tulsi prays for her family's happiness, signaling that this new era of Kyunki will retain its iconic emotional pull while introducing fresh drama.
