Earlier in the day, Maye Musk shared a photograph of a bouquet of flowers sent by her son Elon. "Thank you, Elon, for sending these beautiful birthday flowers to me in Mumbai. Love, m," she wrote on X (formerly Twitter).
Her visit to Mumbai included a spiritual experience as well. On Easter Sunday, Maye Musk visited the Siddhivinayak Temple.
She was accompanied by Bollywood actress Jacqueline Fernandez. The duo participated in temple rituals and received blessings from the priests. The 77-year-old wore a yellow printed suit for the occasion.
Maye Musk's book, first published in English in 2019, chronicles her journey through professional challenges, personal setbacks, and eventual success as a model and nutritionist. She talks about being a single mother, working hard to support her family and building her career as a model and dietitian.
The book shares her personal stories and gives advice on how to stay strong, stay healthy, and follow your dreams - no matter how difficult life gets or how old you are. It's meant to inspire people, especially women, to make a plan and take control of their lives. The Hindi version aims to reach a wider audience in India.
"Maye's book is a symbol of the resilience of a woman. It has taught me so much, especially that age is just a number and it shouldn't define your dreams and goals," said Jaqueline Fernandez.
Elon Musk has also confirmed he will visit India later this year, ahead of the much-anticipated launch of Tesla's electric vehicles in the country.

The thinking woman: An unwelcome truth
Namrata is a writer, editor, and book reviewer. A published author her stories and articles have been published in various anthologies and magazines. After being an investment banker for a decade she found her true calling in books. With numbers playing in her mind and words throbbing through her veins for close to a decade now she writes, reads, and of course forgets to count them. She is currently working on her debut work of fiction based on Partition. When not reading, she can be found writing about books, music, and films on Twitter @privytrifles LESS ... MORE She thinks. She asks. And suddenly, she becomes a threat. In every sphere of life, the thinking woman is viewed with suspicion. Not because she lacks charm or beauty, but because she refuses to silence her mind. Whether it's in cinema, literature, or even the very interviews that promote women, the message is the same: keep your thoughts light, your questions few, and your opinions palatable. The 'play dumb' script: Acting dumb for popularity It's a bitter truth of Indian popular culture that actresses often feel pressured to 'play dumb' to become more likable and marketable. In interviews, many actresses are subtly — or sometimes overtly — encouraged to downplay their intellect, avoid controversial opinions, and stick to safe, agreeable answers. Compliments pour in for 'sweet,' 'innocent,' or 'simple' answers, while articulate, nuanced responses are met with discomfort or dismissiveness. This expectation is not only unfair but deeply insulting. Women who choose to express themselves thoughtfully risk losing mass appeal. The pressure to conform to this image has silenced many voices. Women who think and speak out: The exception, not the rule Take Vidya Balan, Taapsee Pannu, and Sushmita Sen — three women who have refused to stay quiet. They are outspoken, politically aware, and vocal about feminism, mental health, and social issues. Despite their talent and popularity, their outspokenness often leads to polarized reactions. Vidya Balan, known for portraying strong, complex women on screen, is equally fearless off-screen — speaking openly about women's rights and gender stereotypes. Taapsee Pannu, who speaks candidly about industry politics and social injustices, has faced trolling and backlash for her bluntness. Sushmita Sen, a former Miss Universe and an icon of independence, consistently challenges patriarchal norms with her unapologetic confidence and liberal views. Yet, all three are sometimes labeled as 'too political,' 'controversial,' or 'difficult,' showing how society is uncomfortable with women who think loudly and live authentically. Contemporary Indian literature: Voices that refuse to be silenced The literary landscape in India today features fearless women writers who refuse to simplify female experience or shy away from uncomfortable truths. Writers like Meena Kandasamy and Nivedita Menon bring powerful feminist critiques that challenge caste, patriarchy, and social injustice head-on. Nilanjana Bhowmick's work delves into the complexities of womanhood and identity, refusing to shy away from portraying women who think deeply and live unapologetically. Annie Zaidi, through her essays and fiction, highlights the struggles and resilience of women who question societal norms and demand visibility. Tishani Doshi's poetry and prose explore the intersections of gender, identity, and belonging with a sensitivity that refuses to let women's voices be sidelined. Together, these authors and activists create a chorus of modern Indian women who think critically, ask questions, and demand change — even when the world is uncomfortable hearing them. The real cost: Popularity vs. authenticity The sad reality is that women who ask questions and express strong opinions often lose out on popularity. The system rewards compliance and punishes dissent. Even on social media, the trolling of women who dare to think critically and challenge norms is relentless. This extends beyond cinema and literature. In workplaces, women who negotiate salaries or question policies are branded 'bossy' or 'aggressive.' In politics, outspoken women leaders are constantly scrutinized more harshly than their male counterparts. Why does the world fear a thinking woman? Because a thinking woman is unpredictable. She doesn't fit into neat boxes. She disrupts the comfortable narrative of docility. She forces the world to reflect and sometimes, to change. The discomfort is not because thinking women are threatening by nature, but because they threaten the fragile power structures that rely on silence and obedience. The bright future of thinking women Despite the barriers, the thinking woman is rising. For every troll, there are millions who listen. For every closed door, a new path is carved. For every attempt to dim her voice, her fire only grows stronger. The world may fear her now — but it cannot stop her. Because the thinking woman is here, speaking up, questioning, and demanding a seat at every table. And this time, she's not going anywhere.

Dhadak 2 box office collection day 12: Siddhant Chaturvedi-Triptii Dimri film crosses ₹21 crore mark
Dhadak 2 Box Office Collection Day 12: After witnessing some growth over the weekend, the Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri-starrer finally managed to cross the ₹ 20 crore mark at the box office. However, the film saw a sharp drop in collections on Tuesday. The movie's earnings have also been significantly affected by the blockbuster Saiyaara and Hombale Films' mythological animated release, Mahavatar Narsimha. Dhadak 2 hit theatres on August 1 and entered its second week on Friday. As per industry tracker Sacnilk, the film earned ₹ 41 lakh on Monday (Day 11), taking its total domestic collection to ₹ 21.31 crore nett so far. However, these are not the final numbers for the day, and the film's collections could see a slight rise after accounting for the evening and night shows. On Tuesday, Dhadak 2 recorded an overall 19.49% occupancy for its Hindi shows. Morning Shows: 14.25% Afternoon Shows: 24.72% The highest number of screenings were in Delhi-NCR (216 shows), Ahmedabad (117 shows) and Mumbai. In most other regions, the film is running in only double-digit shows, reflecting a drop in demand. Hyderabad, Chennai, Jaipur and Delhi currently lead in terms of occupancy. Released alongside Son of Sardaar 2, Dhadak 2 opened to positive reviews, but its box office performance has been dented by Saiyaara and Mahavatar Narsimha. Directed by Shazia Iqbal, the film is produced by Karan Johar's Dharma Productions in collaboration with Zee Studios and Cloud 9 Pictures. A standalone sequel to the 2018 Dhadak, it is a remake of Mari Selvaraj's acclaimed Tamil film Pariyerum Perumal (2018).
