With the World Environment Day knocking at the door, a believer of revival of weaves, Anavila talks about fashion evolving and more. Her collection has always been very close to nature. In an interview with Firstpost, she says, 'I think it's for most of us, nature inspires us in many ways, whether it be the flowers, the tress, the oceans or the seas. Our yarns come from nature.'

For Anavila spring is her favourite season for many reasons, 'You suddenly see the whole earth kind of celebrating with florals and blooms fresh leaves.' She believes, it's very important when lifestyle, fashion and culture kind of intersect. And as designers one should think much more than just garments.
Talking about fashion Vs style, she says somebody can put a heap of clothes in front of you and you can buy clothes. 'But how you put it together is all about your own style. So, I think it is important to understand your own style and to cultivate it.'

Salman Khan Pokes Fun At Sikandar's Reception On Kapil Sharma Show: 'Kaam Dhanda Acha Chalra Hai?'
Last Updated: Salman Khan kicks off The Great Indian Kapil Show Season 3 with a dig at his own film, Sikandar. The Great Indian Kapil Show is back with its third season, and who better to launch it than Salman Khan. The superstar appears in the premiere episode airing Saturday, June 21, on Netflix, to promote his latest release, Sikandar. Known for never shying away from poking fun at himself, Salman brings his trademark humour to the stage — complete with banter, witty comebacks, and a hilarious moment with his own impersonator. In one standout segment, Salman is introduced to a group of Bollywood lookalikes — including versions of Shah Rukh Khan, Ajay Devgn, and a fan dressed as Radhe Bhaiyya from Tere Naam. Spotting his own double, Salman playfully asks, 'Kaam dhanda accha chalra hai? Sikandar se koi farak to nahi pada?" The impersonator simply smiles and shakes his head, prompting laughter from the audience and cast alike. The episode also features lively exchanges between Navjot Singh Sidhu and Archana Puran Singh, continuing the show's legacy of blending celebrity guests with full-blown comedy. While Sikandar became one of the year's biggest Bollywood earners, raking in more than Rs 120 crore, it received mixed reviews and fell short of the usual Salman Khan blockbuster mark. Meanwhile, reports are rife that Sikandar has suffered a massive financial blow after being leaked online just hours after its release. According to a report by Bollywood Hungama, the piracy resulted in losses amounting to approximately Rs 91 crore for the production team. An insider told the publication, 'An audit was commissioned to assess the extent of the leak and the resulting impact on revenue. Ernst & Young (EnY) submitted a comprehensive report that pegged the loss at approximately Rs. 91 crore." The audit reportedly measured the difference between projected and actual earnings following the leak. Advanced tracking tools were used to monitor illegal downloads and streams, calculating the financial damage caused to the film's theatrical and digital revenue. 'Such audits often include a blend of data from ticketing platforms, distributor reports, and forensic tracing of piracy dissemination," the source added. 'The Rs. 91 crore figure wasn't arbitrary – it is rooted in a loss of potential theatrical and digital revenue." First Published:

Rakul Preet Singh knows how to make a statement when it comes to fashion. Whether in her gorgeous gowns or beautiful sarees, the actress serves fashion goals in every ensemble. Recently, Rakul hopped on the Barbiecore trend and posted an array of pictures on Instagram dressed in a halter-neck dress.

Gold statement earrings, a bracelet stack, rings and flat sandals finished her look with elegance. Rakul styled her hair in natural waves and tied them in a ponytail. A few strands of hair were left loose in the front which framed her face perfectly. Rakul Preet Singh's love for pink is no secret. The actress often dresses up in a vibrant colour for events.
