Meghan Markle is no stranger to headlines, but her most recent viral moment — a playful twerking video from her pregnancy days — has reopened the floodgates of public opinion and royal criticism. Shared in celebration of her daughter Lilibet's fourth birthday, the throwback clip shows a very pregnant Meghan dancing joyfully in a hospital room with Prince Harry to Starrkeisha's viral hit, 'The Baby Momma Dance.'The video, originally captured four years ago, exploded across social media platforms after it was uploaded to Instagram. While many praised its unfiltered warmth and relatability, others — particularly in royal-watching circles — were far less amused.Addressing the backlash for the first time, Meghan reflected on the viral video during her appearance on the 'Aspire With Emma Grede' podcast. With characteristic touch of humor, the Duchess acknowledged the noise surrounding the video while emphasizing the joy behind it.'Did you see my 'Baby Momma' dance?' she asked with a laugh. When the host affirmed that she had — and appreciated it — Meghan replied, 'That wasn't yesterday. That was four years ago. So it's also a really great reminder that, with all the noise or whatever people do, there's still a whole life. A real, authentic, fun life that's happening behind the scenes.'While the viral moment drew cheers from many fans, it also invited a wave of mockery and accusations of impropriety. According to a report by the Daily Mail, a source close to Buckingham Palace described the video as 'classless' and 'tragic,' suggesting that senior royals — including King Charles and Queen Camilla — were 'horrified.''There is a general sense [in the Palace] that they have lost it,' the source claimed, pointing to the clip as another example of how Harry and Meghan have strayed from traditional royal decorum.Yet Meghan remains unfazed by the noise. In the same podcast episode, she spoke of reclaiming her narrative and the freedom she feels in sharing content on her own terms. Having returned to social media, she says it gives her a platform to showcase authenticity — something she values deeply after stepping back from royal duties.When asked if there's one thing she'd change about how the world sees her, Meghan replied: 'I would ask people to tell the truth.'

Govinda's wife Sunita Ahuja drops her husband's surname amid divorce rumours, says, 'I am all over...' Govinda's wife Sunita Ahuja is currently grabbing headlines after she removed her husband's surname from the Instagram handle. She also added an extra 'S' in her name. This happened amidst their divorce rumours, leaving netizens wondering if everything is fine between the couple. Well, Sunita has finally clarified this and shared the real reason that made her drop her husband's surname. In a conversation with ETimes, Sunita revealed, 'I removed Ahuja and added an extra s in my first name. But this change happened almost a year ago,' Stating the reason behind making changes in her name, she said, 'It was done purely for numerology purposes. I want name and fame—who doesn't, right?.' When asked if name changing is turning out to be beneficial for her, the actor's wife said, 'Absolutely! Can't you see how viral I've gone in the last few months? I'm all over the internet!' Further talking about her surname and dismissing divorce rumours, Sunita said, 'I am an Ahuja, and that won't change. The surname will only be dropped when I leave the world. We are a happy family. Until something comes directly from both of us, don't assume anything.' Govinda and Sunita Ahuja have been married for 37 years now. They are parents to son Yashvardhan Ahuja and daughter Narmada Tina Ahuja. Last year, the couple grabbed massive headlines regarding their divorce rumours. Reports claimed that Govinda's growing closeness to a 30-year-old Marathi actress led to their alleged split. However, their lawyer later confirmed that although they had filed for divorce few months back, they had mend issues in their relationship and are now together. 'Like when she said mujhe Govinda jaisa pati nahi chaiye (I don't want Govinda as my husband in next birth), she did add that she wanted a son like him. Or when she said that he was with his own valentine, she meant he was working. It is unfortunate that people are only talking negatively about them when the couple is together, and I can assure that they will always be. No divorce is going to happen.' The lawyer told.

Palak shared that watching her mother perform triggers a mix of awe and anxiety. 'When I see my mom's works, main crisis me chali jaati hu. You see your parents' works and you feel, they are so good at their jobs, main toh gayi. I feel how many years will it take me to reach where she has reached. So I would feel stressed.'

So I always knew—whatever I do in life, I'll have her backing.'

Kate Cassidy pens emotional note as she misses late boyfriend Liam Payne: 'Knowing I can't come home and see you…'
Singer and former One Direction member, Liam Payne, died on October 16 last year after falling from a hotel balcony in Argentina. Now, nearly eight months after his death, his girlfriend, influencer Kate Cassidy, shared a heartbreaking message in his memory, calling him her "best friend" and someone she still misses deeply. (Also Read | Liam Payne in Building the Band: When and where to watch late singer's final show) Kate took to Instagram on Monday to post several personal pictures of the couple. The photos showed Liam and Kate smiling together, enjoying each other's company. Along with the pictures, Kate wrote a long caption in which she opened up about her pain, mentioning how Liam was someone she thought she had "so much more time and life left to share with." She described how much she misses him and how difficult it is to adjust to life without him. A post shared by Kate Cassidy (@kateecass) "Eight months ago today, I lost my best friend and someone I thought I had so much more time and life left to share with. Liam was the kind of person you'd start missing the moment you walked out the door. Even when leaving the house for a few hours, I'd find myself rushing home to be with him again out of excitement," she wrote in her post. "Now, facing the reality that I live in a constant state of missing you is something I still can't fully wrap my head around. Knowing I can't just come home and see you, hear your voice, or feel your hug--it's a type of pain I can't fully put into words. I can't seem to tell if life is flying by without you or moving so slowly that none of it fully makes sense. But I am trying to live my life as best I can for now and live it for you. I miss you more than words can say. One day, I'll see you again, and I'll have so much to tell you. So much to catch up on. I love you, my angel. 444," she added. The 30-year-old singer fell from a balcony at the CasaSur Palermo hotel after reportedly spending the day consuming whiskey and cocaine. His sudden and tragic death left the music industry and his global fanbase in shock.
