Exploring spiritual significance of Rasha Thadani's first tattoo, WATCH as she follows mom Raveena Tandon's lead
Raveena Tandon's daughter Rasha Thadani is quite a popular star-kid in Bollywood. She followed her mother's footsteps and stepped into the industry earlier this year with Azaad. Now, influenced by her mother's love for tattoos, Rasha got her first ever tattoo. It was only earlier this week, joined by the Welcome to the Jungle actress, the star-kid got herself inked.
A video originally posted by Kraayonz shows Rasha Thadani joined by her mother, Raveena Tandon, for her first tattoo. The video that is now going viral on the internet shows the star-kid getting a butterfly with a trishul (trident) in the middle on the nape of her neck.
During the process, Rasha was seen lying on the chair, and Tandon was supervising the making, ensuring it was perfect. On the other hand, talking about her tattoo, the young star shared in the video, 'Yeah, definitely my mother's comfort of getting tattoos has inspired me. But I've always wanted one."

Notably, Raveena has the names of her children on her back and also an ink featuring paws dedicated to the four-legged creatures of this planet.
Nothing much has been specified about Rasha's choice of the tattoo. However, the trident is associated with Lord Shiva in Hinduism and spiritual inclination of the mother-daughter duo towards him is not hidden from anyone.
In fact, during the promotions of Azaad, the debutant was also seen wearing multiple kaala dhaaga (black threads) on her wrist, which were from each Jyotirlinga she had visited.
For the unversed, Jyotirlingas are Hindu shrines dedicated to Lord Shiva, and at the age of 19, she had already visited 19. She had also expressed her desire to visit the 12th Jyotirlinga before the year ends.
Thus, ticking a wish off her bucket list, Rasha visited the Nageshwar (Gujarat) temple a couple of weeks after Azaad's release. She was joined by her mother, and a multi-picture post made on social media from her visit was captioned, "Nageshwar, my 12th Jyotirling, and Dwarkadhish. Feeling blessed and thankful."
On the professional front, Raveena will be next seen in Welcome to the Jungle, while Rasha has reportedly been signed in for Pati Patni Aur Woh 2.

Paramasivan Fathima Movie Review: Not all spirits are worth summoning
Paramasivan Fathima Movie Synopsis Two feuding villages, one Hindu and one Christian, face a series of murders that lead to the revelation of spirits seeking justice for past religious conflicts. Paramasivan Fathima Movie Review: Written By: Abhinav Subramanian Just when you thought Kollywood had exhausted its quota of caste-and-religion films, along comes Paramasivan Fathima to prove there's always room for one more. Set in feuding villages of Subramaniapuram (Hindu) and Yokopuram (Christian), the film opens with wedding night murders that have both communities pointing fingers. Director Esakki Karvannan (who also plays the police lead) handles religious themes with heavy-handed obviousness, reducing believers to caricatures who might as well be living in medieval times rather than modern first half establishes the murders with attempted comic sequences that fall flat. A man is lured to his death by following a singer he's attracted to into the forest - hardly the stuff of suspense. The police investigation aims for laughs that never land, making the whole enterprise feel tonally inevitable flashback reveals childhood sweethearts Paramasivan (Vimal) and Fathima ( Chaya Devi ) separated by religious conversion, Fathima's father's death and his dying wish to be buried as a Hindu, and the resulting burial ground disputes. Both Paramasivan and Fathima are murdered, and their grievances manifest as vengeful spirits. The film drags you through 140 minutes of village squabbling only to resolve everything with supernatural intervention - it's like watching grown adults argue over whose imaginary friend is and Chaya Devi do what they can with roles that require them to be both earthly teachers and ethereal avengers. MS Bhaskar's Father character is a collection of tired pastor clichés. The visuals are serviceable, though the sound design assaults you with unnecessary Fathima is the kind of film that thinks adding ghosts to rural conflicts automatically makes them interesting. It doesn't.

Pride Month! Vishal Punjabi on filming a Queer wedding: Queer love deserves to be told with the same grace, and emotion as any other love story
He's the man behind the lens of India's most iconic celebrity weddings—from Anushka Sharma-Virat Kohli's Tuscan vows to Deepika Padukone-Ranveer Singh's lakeside rituals. But filmmaker Vishal Punjabi's latest project didn't just capture a wedding. It reframed the way we see love, identity, and belonging. In a deeply personal and powerful conversation, Punjabi opens up about filming his first queer wedding, the soul of storytelling, and why he believes such stories aren't just inclusive—they're necessary. 'There's already too much hate, trolling, and meaningless noise online that I feel a responsibility to tell stories that heal, that offer hope, and that bring people closer,' Punjabi begins. Growing up in Africa, he says, homosexuality was seen as taboo. 'I came to India as a judgmental young boy,' he confesses. 'It took love stories, conversations, cinema, and music to help me see that being gay isn't unnatural. It's like a left-handed painter in a right-handed world. Uncommon, but no less gifted.' Punjabi's team flew halfway across the globe to film this wedding in Mexico. 'Filming with a jet-lagged crew was definitely a logistical challenge,' he laughs, 'but what truly stayed with me was something the Pandit said during the ceremony. In Hinduism, we fall in love with the aatma, not the body. And the aatma has no gender. That line gave me goosebumps. It reminded me that love, at its purest, is soul to soul. Love is love. And not everyone fits into neat little boxes of '100% man' or '100% woman,'' he says. 'For this film, I stripped it back to the basics,' Punjabi shares. 'Queer love deserves to be told with the same grace, structure, and emotion as any other love story.' From a yearning love song to a celebration anthem, the arc followed a familiar path—but the power lay in who told the story. 'A mother, a priest, a father. When understanding comes from them, it carries more weight. And perhaps, more power to change minds.' 'Wedding videos in India have evolved, but not always for the better,' Punjabi observes. He criticizes the current trend of 'slow motion, lip-syncing, and fake acting' that overshadows genuine emotion. One step to a healthier you—join Times Health+ Yoga and feel the change
