penned a heartfelt tribute for his late mother as the family observed the 13th-day ceremony, a significant part of the mourning period.
Marking the occasion with deep emotion and remembrance, the filmmaker reflected on her enduring influence and the irreplaceable space she held in their lives. Taking to Instagram, Boney shared a photo of his late mom and wrote, "Today is Kriya 13th day since . . . . . . As we mourn our beloved mother, recounting a few lines of rememberence. When lose your mother, that's when everything changes. You don't just lose a parent. You lose your biggest comfort. The one who stayed strong so you could be soft. The one who made the hard things feel bearable. The one who always put you before herself. You realize the silence is louder."
The post further read, "The house feels colder. And no one calls just to check if you ate. You miss her voice, her scent. The way she knew something was wrong just by hearing your hello. You remember the things she used to do that you took for granted. The small sacrifices. The daily routines. The way she made everything feel safe. You replay her advice in your head like a broken record. You wish you hugged her longer. Told her thank you more. Told her I love you every chance you got. Because now you know. No one will ever love you like she did. No one will ever fill that space. And all you can do is make her proud. By becoming everything, she knew you could be. Most of this text was aptly expressed what mothers are for their children emotionally by Vin Diesel."

UP Police's ‘Housefull 5'-inspired road safety post garners praise from Riteish Deshmukh
On June 9, UP Police shared a graphic on their official X account, mimicking Housefull 5's distinctive double climax format. The police post offered two contrasting visuals as 'climax choices' for two-wheeler riders, one showing a man wearing a helmet (labelled as 'Option 5A') and another showing the same man with a head injury and bandage, having not worn a helmet (labelled as 'Option 5B'). The post has drawn appreciation from actor Riteish Deshmukh, who is part of the film's ensemble cast. Lucknow, Jun 10 (PTI) The Uttar Pradesh Police has used a creative social media post inspired by the recently released Hindi film 'Housefull 5' to promote road safety and highlight the importance of wearing helmets. The caption cleverly read: 'Book your climax wisely'. The post quickly gained traction on social media, clocking over 1.32 lakh views, 1,200 likes, and around 650 retweets within 24 hours. Joining the chorus of appreciation, 'Housefull 5' actor Riteish Deshmukh quote-tweeted the post and commented: 'Be Responsible ' Make the right choice. @Uppolice #RoadSafety #Helmet' The state police headquarters on Tuesday confirmed that the post was issued on the instructions of Director General of Police Rajeev Krishna as part of an ongoing campaign to increase public awareness on road safety through engaging digital content. In a press statement, UP Police said, 'The post was created to encourage helmet usage in a relatable and entertaining manner. Using pop culture references helps connect better with the public, especially youth. Our aim is to ensure safety messages are seen, understood, and followed.' The department added that it has consistently used creative campaigns to spread awareness on important civic and traffic issues. In the past, actors like Amitabh Bachchan, Akshay Kumar, Manoj Bajpayee, Disha Patani, Emraan Hashmi, and Ali Fazal have also engaged with UP Police's social media posts. Housefull 5, the latest installment of the popular comedy franchise, features Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh, and Abhishek Bachchan, among others. The film has generated buzz for offering two alternate endings, giving audiences a choice in how the story concludes — an idea the police cleverly repurposed for their road safety campaign. Uttar Pradesh is among the states recording most number of road accidents, injuries and fatalities. So far this year, over 7,700 road users have lost their lives in road crashes in the state, according to an official data accessed by PTI.

World's most popular TikTok star Khaby Lame leaves the U.S. after being detained by ICE
LAS VEGAS — Khaby Lame, the world's most popular TikTok personality with millions of followers, has left the U.S. after being detained by immigration agents in Las Vegas for allegedly overstaying his visa. The Senegalese-Italian influencer, whose legal name is Seringe Khabane Lame, was detained Friday at Harry Reid International Airport but was allowed to leave the country without a deportation order, a spokesperson for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement confirmed in a statement. Lame arrived in the U.S. on April 30 and 'overstayed the terms of his visa,' the ICE spokesperson said. The Associated Press sent a message seeking comment Tuesday to the email address listed on Lame's Instagram account. He has not publicly commented on his detainment. His detainment and voluntary departure from the U.S. comes amid President Donald Trump's escalating crackdown on immigration, including raids in Los Angeles that sparked days of protests against ICE, as the president tests the bounds of his executive authority. A voluntary departure — which was granted to Lame — allows those facing removal from the U.S. to avoid a deportation order on their immigration record, which could prevent them from being allowed back into the U.S. for up to a decade. The 25-year-old rose to international fame during the pandemic without ever saying a word in his videos, which would show him reacting to absurdly complicated 'life hacks." He has over 162 million followers on TikTok alone. The Senegal-born influencer moved to Italy when he was an infant with his working class parents and has Italian citizenship. His internet fame quickly evolved. He signed a multi-year partnership with designer brand Hugo Boss in 2022. In January, he was appointed as a UNICEF goodwill ambassador. Last month, he attended the Met Gala in New York City, days after arriving in the U.S.

Chennai Book Park sees a steady stream of crowd on Day 1
Status: cleared Chennai: Those entering the Central Metro station now have one-stop access to books from prominent publishers, spanning from Higginbothams to Katha, at the Chennai Book Park, opened by Chief Minister M K Stalin on Tuesday. An initiative of the School Education Department to kindle a reading habit among the public, the book park saw a steady stream of visitors on the first day. Nestled between a pharmacy and an eatery, en route to the ticket counter, one would rarely miss the park. Decked up with flowers and carpets, over 4,300 titles from over 13 publishers were on display. Among these, 84 titles were released on Tuesday. Most of the stalls belonged to the Tamil Nadu Text Book and Educational Services Corporation (TNTESC), which manages the functioning of the park. Nakkheeran, Shanti, and Coral were among the prominent publishers who set up stalls. Schoolbooks, guides, and books for competitive exams, mostly Tamil, were available. The cost of books ranged from ₹50 to ₹3,500. The CMRL is yet to fix signage for the park at entries and exits. TNTESC superintendent G Balaji said the park will be open from 9 am to 9 pm. "The schedule on weekend timings will be finalised in a couple of days. At least three staff, including security personnel, will man the premises," he said. Chezhian Kumarasamy, Executive Director of an advertising firm, said it was good to see people at a book park in a digital age where mobile phones call the shots. "I wish more such parks would be opened in places such as airports and MRTS stations," he said. Some, like law student L Lakshmi, who walked in thinking there would be a lot of autobiographies and non-fiction Tamil books, said she was surprised to find English books on self-help. Publication managers, however, aren't too optimistic about sales. "I don't know how many people will walk in. They are in a hurry to board trains," said Sivakumar, manager of one of the publications. By 8:50 pm, the facility registered a sale of about ₹35,000. The stalls have tied up with the TNTESC on a revenue-sharing model, said Katha Books CEO Ravin Carr. "Between 25% and 40% of the sale cost (depending on the size of the stalls) will be shared with the govt," he said. At the event, the Chief Minister also inaugurated 110 library buildings built across all districts at a cost of ₹29.80 crore and 70 special libraries at bus stands, hospitals, and district collectorates.
