Shilpa Shirodkar's Birthday Wish For ‘Best Brother-In-Law' Mahesh Babu
As Mahesh Babu turns 50 today, August 9, the celebrations are not just limited to his fans but also his close-knit family. Actress Shilpa Shirodkar, who shares a warm bond with him as his sister-in-law, took to Instagram to post a heartfelt birthday message. Her caption read, 'Happy Birthday to the best brother-in-law ever!! You keep inspiring us all with your humility and grace. May your light keep shining brighter each year! Love you toooooooo much."
In the picture, Shilpa is seen wearing a vibrant, patterned top with a relaxed, flowing fit adorned with floral or abstract designs. Her hair falls naturally in soft, slightly wavy locks, giving her an effortlessly graceful look. A delicate ring adds a subtle touch of elegance, perfectly complementing her comfortable yet stylish attire. Mahesh, on the other hand, opts for a light peach button-down shirt with rolled-up sleeves.
Shilpa Shirodkar is the elder sister of Namrata Shirodkar, who is married to Mahesh Babu. Over the years, Shilpa has often expressed that her relationship with Mahesh goes far beyond formal family ties; to her, he is like a true brother. Their mutual respect and affection are often evident in their interactions, both in private and in public celebrations like today.
The actress will next be seen in Jatadhara, a highly anticipated pan-India Telugu-Hindi supernatural fantasy thriller. The film, which marks Bollywood actress Sonakshi Sinha's Telugu debut, features a stellar cast including Sudheer Babu, Ravi Prakash, Divya Vij and Rain Anjali in key supporting roles.
Promising a fresh take on the supernatural genre, Jatadhara dives deep into the mysteries of the unknown, offering audiences a gripping narrative blended with high-quality production. With such a strong lineup of talent, the film is expected to draw attention both regionally and nationally.
Not long ago, Shilpa also made headlines with her appearance in Bigg Boss 18, where she shared the screen with popular personalities such as Vivian Dsena, Chum Darang, Karan Veer Mehra, Chahat Pandey, Kashish Kapoor, Digvijay Singh Rathee, Avinash Mishra, Eisha Singh, Alice Kaushik, Arfeen Khan, Sara Khan and Shrutika Arjun.

Vishnuvardhan memorial demolition: Fans, Kannada stars express outrage, demand dignified tribute
Dr Vishnuvardhan's memorial demolition has not only upset fans but also reopened old wounds about how Karnataka honours its film legends. For many, this is not just about a structure being removed but it's also about losing a piece of history connected to one of the state's most beloved actors. Demolition of Dr Vishnuvardhan's memorial in Bengaluru The sudden demolition of Kannada cinema legend Dr Vishnuvardhan's memorial in Bengaluru has caused shock and anger among his fans and the film industry and the memorial which was located at Abhiman Studio where the actor was cremated in 2009, was pulled down overnight on August 7–8, 2025 and reportedly it was done under police protection and following a Karnataka High Court order. This decision, carried out without public notice, deeply hurt his admirers, many of whom saw the place as sacred. Reason behind the demolition The demolition is linked to a long-running legal dispute. In 2015, the state government had allotted two acres of land at Abhiman Studio to the Vishnuvardhan Memorial Trust and however, the Balakrishna family, who own the studio, challenged the allotment in court, arguing that the land was taken without proper consent and that the promised compensation was never paid. In August 2023, the High Court ruled in favour of the family, restoring the land to them and this cleared the way for the removal of the memorial, even though fans had hoped for its preservation. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Duong An Duong Vuong: Unsold Furniture Liquidation 2024 (Prices May Surprise You) Unsold Furniture | Search Ads Learn More Undo Several Kannada stars spoke out strongly The move sparked massive outrage. Fans gathered at the site in grief and protest, with many blaming the government and Kannada Film Chamber of Commerce for not protecting the memorial. Several Kannada stars including Kichcha Sudeep, Rishab Shetty, Upendra, Dhruva Sarja and Sri Murali, spoke out strongly against the demolition. Sudeep compared it to destroying a temple, while Rishab Shetty called it an insult to one of the state's greatest actors. About Dr Vishnuvardhan Vishnuvardhan, born Sampath Kumar, was one of the biggest names in Kannada cinema, second only to Dr Rajkumar. In his 35-year career, he acted in over 200 films across Kannada, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam languages, earning titles like Sahasa Simha and 'The Angry Young Man' of Kannada cinema. His death at 59 in 2009 shocked the state, and his cremation at Abhiman Studio gave the site emotional value for fans. Although the government has built a grand memorial for Vishnuvardhan in Mysuru, featuring galleries, rare photographs, personal belongings, and a life-sized statue but many fans still feel that it cannot replace the original cremation site. Allegations have also surfaced about political involvement and plans to use the land for commercial purposes, though these remain unverified. Some voices are now calling for a lasting solution that to place Vishnuvardhan's memorial at Kanteerava Studio, alongside those of Dr Rajkumar and Ambareesh, to unite the three icons of Kannada cinema in one place.

Why Ananya Panday's Less-Is-More Makeup Is A Statement In Itself
When it comes to fresh-faced glamour, Ananya Panday knows the assignment very well. Over the years, she has carved a niche for herself as Bollywood's modern beauty icon. The star is someone who makes high-fashion jewellery and breezy beauty feel like second nature. Whether it is a red carpet moment or an off-duty snap, Ananya Panday's charm lies in her ability to look polished yet effortless. This Wednesday, the Dream Girl 2 star, who is also Swarovski's brand ambassador, lit up Instagram with a carousel of pictures. The highlight? Her makeup. Ananya Panday went for a skin-first makeup approach. Her base was sheer and dewy, with just enough coverage to even out the skin while keeping it breathable. There was a gentle peach flush on her cheeks that blended seamlessly for some freshness. Her lips? A muted rosy-nude, matte lipstick gave her look an edge. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Ananya ???? (@ananyapanday) The Diva's eyes were kept soft yet defined - a swipe of eyeliner hugging the lash line and fluttery lashes opened up her gaze. A touch of shimmer in the inner corners subtly caught the light without overpowering the jewellery. The real scene-stealer was the Swarovski statement necklace – a cluster of oversized, multi-coloured crystal flowers that sat beautifully against her collarbone. It was playful yet opulent, with pops of lilac, emerald, aquamarine and amber hues catching the light at every turn. She paired it with matching floral stud earrings and an equally bold floral cocktail ring. Ananya Panday kept her hair sleek and parted, with smooth, glossy strands grazing her shoulders. It framed her face perfectly. The outfit was a sky-blue sleeveless top – a clever choice since the clean neckline acts as the perfect canvas for the vibrant necklace. The colour also contrasted beautifully with the warmer tones in her makeup and accessories. Overall, Ananya Panday's look was a masterclass in balancing statement accessories with natural beauty.
