Lisa Ray turns 50 with sass, wisdom and a message on menopause: 'A significant turning point in my life..'
Lisa Ray emphasized the importance of viewing
menopause and midlife
as profound, natural transitions rather than consumer-driven trends. The actress also added that turning 50 was a "turning point" in her life.
Lisa took to Instagram, where she penned her "thought provoking post."
She wrote: "This compelling and thought provoking post has to be shared widely. I sincerely hope both menopause and mid-lifing is not highjacked into a solely opportunist- consumerist space. We certainly are seeing the signs. On social media at least (sic)."
Lisa shared that turning 50 was a transformative moment, allowing her to embrace aging with confidence, curiosity, and joy.
Openly discussing midlife experiences with her close friend has been an empowering and liberating journey.
"Turning 50 was a significant turning point in my life. And embracing my wisdom age along with equal amounts of sass and childlike enthusiasm has made all the difference. Speaking openly about all things Primetime along with one of my oldest besties @sujstyle has been revolutionary as well," she said.
The actress urges others to seek accurate, professional medical advice rather than relying solely on social media or influencers.

Ed Sheeran on his friendship with 'most talented' Arijit Singh: I'm so grateful he shared his talent with me
Ed Sheeran has shared a heartfelt story of his recent musical collaboration with Arijit Singh, calling him 'one of the most talented humans' he's ever met. In a detailed Instagram post, the British singer spoke of how he first discovered Arijit's music through 'Tum Hi Ho' from the film 'Aashiqui 2', and was immediately spellbound. Sheeran said he reached out to Arijit years ago and expressed his desire to collaborate. He wrote, 'i first became aware of @arijitsingh music when i watched Aashiqui 2 and heard Tum Hi Ho. I was proper spellbound by his voice, the song, the scene in the movie." He continued, "I checked him out, and got in touch, and said whenever you wanna sing together i'm down. he was playing london, so i went to guest with him and sing Perfect there, it was an incredible show. I played him an early version of Sapphire in the dressing room, and he instantly had ideas for instruments and melodies.' Sheeran revealed that he and Arijit exchanged ideas over email before meeting in person in India while Sheeran was on tour with his father. 'We then were pen pals over email for a bit, until I was in India for tour. I said to him, we should finish this in person, and he said, please come to my home town so I can show you my home and culture," he wrote. Ed continued, "I was with my dad on tour, which is a rarity to get so much one on one time with him. Me and him got a flight to Kolkata, then a 5 and a half hour drive to his home town. We arrived, went on a barge down the river which was stunning, then got a scooty back to the studio where we finished the song,' wrote the 'Galway Girl' hitmaker. The experience was personal for Sheeran, who called it a 'core memory' he'll always cherish with his father. He added, 'Arijit taught me Punjabi and how to pronounce it all properly, and showed me Sitar. We then had dinner, and scooted around the village to see the sunset and moon with my dad. was a proper core memory i'll always cherish with my father, and i'm honoured to have created in this way with Arijit.' 'He's one of the most talented humans ive ever met, and i'm so grateful he shared his talent with me for this song. The full Punjabi version we recorded will be out in a couple of weeks, but until then I'll be drip-feeding fun videos from our time together. enjoy,' Sheeran added, closing his message with deep admiration for Arijit. Listen to 'Sapphire' here: The Punjabi version of their song will be released in the coming weeks. Until then, Sheeran plans to share videos from their time together.

Baba Sehgal recalls getting threat from underworld asking him to stop making music: 'Bollywood was very insecure with me...'
Baba Sehgal revealed Bollywood's insecurities impacted his career. He found recognition in South Indian cinema after feeling sidelined in Bollywood. Sehgal shared he received underworld threats in 1998, warning him to stop singing. Despite the challenges, he continued his career. He also reflected on the turbulence in the entertainment industry during the late '90s. Rapper and music icon Baba Sehgal recently opened up about his challenging journey in the Hindi film industry, revealing how Bollywood's insecurities and industry pressures shaped his career. From feeling sidelined by Bollywood to gaining respect in South Indian cinema, Baba also shared a shocking encounter with the underworld that threatened his passion for music. In a candid chat with Siddharth Kannan, Baba reflected on his journey in regional cinema, sharing that the South Indian film industry gave him the recognition he never quite received in Bollywood. Citing his impressive body of work—including over 250 Telugu songs, 35–40 Tamil tracks, and more than 25 Kannada numbers—he said the South took him seriously and embraced his music. In contrast, he described Bollywood as being insecure about his presence right from the start. Sehgal believes his direct and upfront personality may not have aligned with Bollywood's expectations. He recalled how music directors would reach out to him, but perhaps found his demeanor or way of speaking off-putting. Despite rising to national fame in the early '90s with Indipop chartbusters like Thanda Thanda Paani, Baba feels his success outside the film industry may have made the Hindi film music scene uneasy and hesitant to fully embrace him. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Pistol de sudură laser multifuncțional siginificant Află mai multe Undo He also shared that he received a threat call from the underworld back in 1998—a time when such intimidation was not uncommon in the entertainment industry. While he never imagined being targeted as he considered himself 'just a singer,' the incident came as a shock. He recalled how the experience brought immense stress to both him and his family during that turbulent period. Baba further revealed that the underworld call he received in 1998 wasn't about extortion—but a warning to stop making music altogether. 'They told me to stop singing. The tone wasn't aggressive, but it was serious,' he recalled, adding that the calls often came at night, making it a deeply unsettling experience. Despite the threats, Baba chose to stay the course, building a successful career beyond Bollywood with the support of his loyal fans and the South Indian film industry. Baba Sehgal also reflected on the turbulence in the entertainment industry during the late '90s. He described it as a confusing period when non-film music declined, remixes took over, and the underworld gained influence. 'It wasn't just me; the entire industry was shaken,' he said, highlighting the widespread challenges artists faced during that era.

Last Updated: The film, directed by David Michôd and co-written by Michôd and Mirrah Foulkes, will chronicle the rise and turbulent life of Christy Martin. Sydney Sweeney is going through a complete physical transformation for her next big role. The Euphoria star, who will portray legendary boxer Christy Martin in an upcoming biopic, revealed in a new W Magazine cover story that she gained more than 14 kg (over 30 pounds) during training. 'I came onboard to play Christy, and I had about three and a half months of training," Sweeney said. 'I started eating. I weight-trained in the morning for an hour, kickboxed midday for about two hours, and then weight-trained again at night for an hour." Her body, she said, underwent a dramatic shift. 'I didn't fit in any of my clothes. I'm usually a size 23 in jeans, and I was wearing a size 27. My b*obs got bigger. And my bu*t got huge. It was crazy! I was like, Oh my god," Sweeney admitted, adding that despite the changes, she felt incredibly empowered: 'But it was amazing: I was so strong, like crazy strong."
