Alia Bhatt is one of the most talented and vivacious actresses in Bollywood. While it's always a treat to watch her in the films, she effortlessly holds your attention even with her interviews. This reminds us of Alia's old interview where she was asked about her "dark side" and her innocent reply still lives rent-free in our heads. During an interview with Filmfare, the actress opened up about her family WhatsApp group named The Bhatt Camp and how everybody shares quotes in it regularly. When asked about her dark side, she said everybody has it. But it was the quote that followed that made us her fan all over again. "If there's no darkness, how you gonna appreciate the light," she said. The host was stunned by her reply and said that it was a quote by Mahesh Bhatt. However, Alia Bhatt denied that and shared in her usual innocent and endearing style that it was her only contribution to the "Bhatt Camp" WhatsApp group. She also went on to share how she searched for the quote on Google to later share it with her family. Meanwhile, Alia created global buzz recently with her debut appearance at Cannes Film Festival. From fans to fashion critics, everybody admired her looks. Earlier today i.e. May 28, the actress took to Instagram and shared glimpses from her Cannes visit. In the caption, she also hinted that she will be continuing to attend the prestigious film festival next year. "cannes-dids okay bye, see you next year," wrote the actress.

Alpha Canada Issues Call to Prayer for All 4,911 High Schools in Canada
NEW WESTMINSTER, BC, May 28, 2025 /CNW/ - As Canada grapples with growing economic, social and cultural challenges, Alpha is calling on churches across the nation to dedicate intentional time to pray for the next generation of leaders and citizens. Alpha Canada launches Made For This: Uniting in Prayer for All 4,911 High Schools Across Canada, a national prayer initiative inviting churches to commit to weekly prayer for high school students and staff throughout the school year ahead. Churches from coast to coast can choose at least two high schools from an interactive map at and commit to regular prayer - believing in the transformative power of compassion, community, and courage to shape Canada's future. "We believe this generation of young people is remarkable - creative, resilient, and full of potential to lead with empathy and courage," says Shaila Visser, National Director of Alpha Canada. "They were made for these times, and we, the Church, are made for this moment: to champion them, support them, and cover them in prayer." The Made For This Prayer Movement is rooted in hope for a generation facing anxiety, disconnection, and uncertainty in the face of growing social decohesion, rising costs of living, and a mental health crisis. Through weekly prayer guides, the Church will ask God for peace to reign in schools, for young people to thrive academically and emotionally, and to grow into compassionate leaders—people of kindness, wisdom, and integrity who will make a positive impact in Canada and the world. According to The Open Generation study from Barna Group, Canadian teens today are more concerned and passionate than ever about matters of justice, while showing significant spiritual openness and a longing for meaning and authentic connection. Though they are the most digitally connected generation, they're also yearning to be seen, known, and equipped for real-world impact. "We're inviting the Church to believe in Canadian youth. To pray for them. To stand with them," Visser says. "And when we turn our hearts toward the next generation we are changed for the better, and we believe God answers prayers."
