Saiyami Kher calls Abhishek Bachchan the most secure person when it comes to criticism about nepotism: 'He didn't even know he had been replaced overnight'
1 2 Actress Saiyami Kher recently reflected on her experience working with Abhishek Bachchan in 'Breathe' and 'Ghoomer'. The actress described him as the most secure actor she has worked with and praised his well-grounded upbringing in the industry. She also expressed her admiration for him. Saiyami went on to speak about Sunny Deol , with whom she had previously shared the screen. Abhishek Bachchan is the most well-brought-up person During a conversation with Bollywood Bubble, Kher called Abhishek Bachchan 'the most well-brought-up person' she had ever met. She has spoken fondly of him in the past as well. 'I spent around four years across three projects with him, and I keep saying that he is the most well-brought-up person I've met—nepo or no nepo, whatever. He's just the most well-brought-up person,' she shared. Admiring Abhishek's humility and self-awareness, she said: 'He makes fun of himself, which is the most endearing thing. If you see his interviews—especially when he talks about nepotism—he jokes about himself. And that, to me, shows how secure he is.' 02:06 Abhishek Bachchan reveals his wife Aishwarya Rai Bachchan takes the best selfies, says 'at least then you know she'll make you look good' Kher went on to discuss the often-unseen struggles that even star kids endure.

I was honestly shocked, because I would've never imagined he'd gone through that kind of thing. But he's never spoken about it—because I guess he never felt the need to. He's such a secure person that it's like, 'Okay, this happened. I've moved on,'' she added.

When the Bucks lose early in the playoffs, so do some bars and restaurants near Fiserv Forum
On April 29 the Milwaukee Bucks lost their fourth game to the Indiana Pacers, ending their 2025 season in the first round of the NBA playoffs. A few weeks later, some bars and restaurants in Milwaukee's entertainment district have been hurting, as not only are there no Bucks games, but there are almost no other entertainment bookings at Fiserv Forum. The arena blocks off most of May and early June incase the Bucks make it far in the playoffs. From the Bucks' last home game on April 27 to a Lil Baby concert on June 25, the only Fiserv Forum booking listed on the arena's website is this weekend's Alan Jackson concert on May 17. The gospel Live, Breathe, Fight tour that was scheduled on May 22 was canceled. Michael Vitucci, who owns Uncle Buck's, 1125 N. King Drive, said in the years following the Bucks winning the NBA Championship in 2021, May has been their slowest month. 'It's very challenging in May if the Bucks get knocked out in the first round. It's painful,' Vitucci said. The space includes the Northwoods-themed Uncle Buck's tavern on the first floor and the space-themed Red Star bar on the second and third floors. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, people could rent out VIP tables in Red Star that overlook the Bucks-owned Beer Garden, which is a popular place to watch Bucks playoff games. Red Star is more often booked for private rentals rather than the playoff VIP experience. 'In the last two years, the private party thing has ramped up for us, no doubt,' Vitucci said. Vitucci said private parties were a good way for his bar to stay busy during May, as people seek spots for college graduation parties and rehearsal dinners. Sometimes people request to book Uncle Buck's, the space regularly open to the public, before the Bucks' playoff schedule is finalized. Vitucci said he is happy to book it, though he does warn renters that they will have a higher fee if it does turn out to be the same night as a Bucks playoff home game. "If they rent the room, they get priority," Vitucci said. "You have to take care of yourself and make the Bucks secondary." Other bars in the Entertainment District report having less business when there are no events at Fiserv Forum. 'It's noticeably slower, especially during the week, ' said Jake Dehne, who owns RWB Milwaukee, Lucky Clover and 90s2K Cafe, which are all on North King Drive. RWB Milwaukee, a bar that is popular for dancing and only open on weekends, is also generally slower in May. Dehne said that isn't so much due to Fiserv Forum's schedule as college students preparing for finals, graduating or heading home for the summer. Still, he was looking forward to a busy Saturday as he prepared for the Alan Jackson concert. 'That's going to be a sold-out, great concert,' he said. 'I hope they can get some more things on the book for June.' Peter Marshall, who owns Copper on King, also was looking forward to the Alan Jackson show, plus he had good business for a Wednesday when Alice Cooper performed at the Miller High Life Theatre on May 14. 'There are other things things going on like hockey at the Panther Arena, and shows at the High Life Theatre and Turner Hall. You don't just have to depend on Fiserv Forum,' he said. But business is best when there is an event at Fiserv Forum. When the arena is booked, Marshall said he doesn't have to do any extra promotion to bring people in. With an empty Fiserv Forum, he is relying on the bar's unique Formula 1 viewing parties that include three race simulators that patrons can experience on F1 Sundays. "It's awesome. The crowds for that have been great," Marshall said. "We're leaning heavily into our weekly events like Quizmaster Trivia and our patio business." Related: There's a bar for that: From European soccer to F1, these Milwaukee bars air more niche sports Bars like the Milwaukee Brat House and The New Fashioned have created summer-specific programming to ramp up business in May. The Brat House has built a reputation as a popular spot to grab a shuttle to a Brewers game, along with shuttles to concerts at American Family Field and Alpine Valley, which makes the bar as busy as Fiserv Forum event days. 'We've built our shuttle business over years and years and years. Events at Fiserv is a big part of our business, but the shuttle service is a staple for our business,' said owner Scott Schaffer. Marla Poytinger, who owns The New Fashioned, said in an email that a dark Fiserv Forum means they depend on outdoor Deer District programming to draw business. "We're leaning into our creativity in order to drive our own traffic," Poytinger said in the email. "Our new Painting on the Plaza series kicks off June 6 and brings the classic Splash Studio experience to the sunny Deer District plaza on Fridays and Saturdays this summer." Elsewhere in the Entertainment District, bars like Old German Beer Hall and S'Lush Daiquiri Lounge do the same or even better business with the Bucks out early, according to their owners. 'Business has been great with the Bucks being out of the playoffs. It frees up an incredible amount of parking and frees up money you can spend at bars and restaurants,' said Hans Weissgerber, owner of Old German Beer Hall. Weissgerber and Tiana Razaa, who owns S'Lush, both said that Bucks games and other Fiserv Forum events aren't the biggest draw for their spaces, and they think their businesses are more often hurt on Fiserv Forum event days due to surge parking. 'The hardest part about the area is the parking,' Razaa said. 'It effects my business in a major way, and it's hard on the employees.' Razaa's original S'Lush location is in Kenosha where she and some employees live. Both Razaa and Weissgerber said they are destination spaces. S'Lush is popular for birthday and bachelorette parties, and Old German Beer Hall, which pays homage to Milwaukee's German heritage through food, beer and live music, is popular with tourists and locals who enjoy German traditions. 'People come to the Beer Hall to the come to the Beer Hall,' Weissburger said. "I just want to say, people should come downtown and don't worry about coming in for an event. We've got a great city, and you don't need a reason to come downtown and enjoy it."

Knicks remain wary of Celtics threat on brink of snapping 25-year drought
BOSTON — It's been a full generation. It's finally almost time. The Knicks are one win away from reaching the conference finals for the first time since the 1999-2000 season. One win away from the latest step taken in the progression under coach Tom Thibodeau. One win away from dismantling the defending champions. Advertisement For context, the first iPhone was still seven-plus years away from being released the last time the Knicks found themselves in the Eastern Conference finals. Faith Hill's 'Breathe' was the top song on the U.S. charts. 'American Beauty' won Best Picture at the Oscars. Jalen Brunson was more than two months away from turning 4 years old. His father and current Knicks assistant, Rick, was actually on the team as a player. After their 121-113 Game 4 win over the Celtics on Monday night at Madison Square Garden, the Knicks return to Boston with a 3-1 series lead. They won the first two games of the series at TD Garden, and now the Celtics will be without Jayson Tatum, who suffered a torn right Achilles tendon with just over three minutes left in Game 4. Everything has lined up for the Knicks to finally reach the league's elite tier for the first time with this core.

Adventurer Mollie Hughes on how to build resilience: 'deal with the adversity, move on and grow'
Having climbed Everest twice and skied solo to the South Pole Mollie Hughes knows a thing or two about bouncing back from difficult situations, and in her new book Breathe she shares some of what she's learned.

Learn More Sorry, there seem to be some issues. Please try again later. Submitting... There is a scene in Breathe, the new book by adventurer Mollie Hughes, which manages to be both achingly poignant and laugh-out-loud funny. It's December 2019, and Hughes is in the early stages of a record-breaking attempt to ski solo to the South Pole. After days on end of being hammered by ferocious gales, she isn't covering anywhere near as much ground as she'd hoped, and she can feel her physical and mental strength starting to ebb. Following a long, dark night of the soul in her tent, hundreds of miles from the nearest human habitation, she decides that what she needs are some affirmations. So the next day, when she hits her first hill and the going gets tough, she starts shouting her new mantra into the wind: 'I am strong! I am inspiring people! I am a f***ing badass!' She may have 'felt stupid' doing it, and in purely physical terms all the shouting did nothing to move her closer to her objective, yet it caused her to crack a smile, raised her spirits, and proved to be a turning point in her expedition. Mollie Hughes crossing the Khumbu Icefall during her first ascent of Mount Everest in 2012 | Contributed Inevitably perhaps, in the years following the Covid-19 pandemic, resilience has become a hot topic. As a society – as a species, even – we had to show a remarkable degree of it in order to bounce back from a period of enormous suffering. At the same time, however, the pandemic left in its wake a severe and worsening mental health crisis, and there have been heated discussions ever since about to what extent resilience (or the lack of it) might be at the heart of the matter. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Resilience is also a key topic in Hughes's book, published this month by Birlinn, and having summited Mount Everest from both sides and skied solo to the South Pole, it's something she's eminently qualified to discuss. Titled Breathe: Life Lessons from the Edge of the World, the book is structured in such a way as to operate both as a memoir and as a series of essays on different areas of psychology. So, for example, in Chapter One, 'Control Fear', Hughes uses the terrifying act of crossing gaping crevasses on the Khumbu Icefall on her first Everest expedition in 2012 to provide context for understanding and mastering the fight-or-flight response; in Chapter Two, 'Find Self-Belief', the story of her ascent to the summit (and the very nearly fatal return) provides a jumping-off point for an exploration of where self-belief comes from and how, aged just 20 and standing five foot four in her socks, she had enough of it to feel she could take on the world's highest mountain. Mollie Hughes on her way to the South Pole | Contributed Hughes focuses on resilience in Chapter Five, alongside an account of the gruelling, gale-lashed start to her 700-mile solo ski from the edge of Antarctica to the South Pole. The resilience that got her through that ordeal, she writes, was something she had been building up 'all her life.' She also writes that 'resilience can be learned, moulded and used to create success' and – on a video call from her home in East Lothian – she characterises this as a gradual, continuous process. 'When I was on the south side of Everest aged 21,' she says, 'there's no way I would've had the amount of resilience I needed to go to Antarctica and spend 58 days alone – there's just no way I could have done that at that point in my life. But throughout my twenties, doing more expeditions, challenging myself on the north side of Everest and on other trips, I think I just slowly built up that resilience. Maybe I didn't realise it, actually, until I got to Antarctica – but that's where I really needed it.' Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Early on in the book, someone asks Hughes's mum if she's scared about her daughter climbing Everest, and she replies 'if anyone can do it, Moll can.' Are some people just naturally more resilient than others? 'Everything in psychology is a mixture of genetics and the experiences we have in life,' she replies, 'but something like resilience is such a learned quality. I think genetically there will be something there – I can't imagine anyone can pinpoint what it is – but it's more about how you're brought up, how you're treated, what's happened to you, the challenges you had throughout your early life.' Mollie Hughes after becoming the youngest woman to ski solo to the South Pole, January 2020 | Contributed According to Hughes, however, simply having lots of difficult or challenging experiences isn't enough to build resilience – it's how you process them that's important. 'It's about experiencing emotions as they come up,' she says, 'be it fear, anxiety, self-doubt or anger, then viewing them as a challenge. How am I going to rebound from this? Deal with the adversity, move on and grow.' Also vital, Hughes believes, is 'recognising the control you have over your own outcomes'. Is this something you can teach? Is there a trick? 'I don't think so,' she says, 'I think it's something we all have to understand and discover. You can tell somebody 'you're in charge of your destiny', and you can tell them that if they can turn their negative thoughts into positive thoughts then everything is going to be so much better, but they have to realise that for themselves.' And so we circle back to positivity. Does Hughes still do her affirmations? She laughs. 'Not as much – I've never needed them as much as I did when I was in Antarctica, but I will if I need to, and I try to teach other people to use them too.'
