Sehar Khan celebrates an intimate birthday
On Friday, actor Sehar Khan took to Instagram to share a glimpse of her birthday celebrations, and fans can't get enough of the adorable, low-key vibe. In a photo posted to her feed with the caption, "Your girl just got another year cooler. Love you guys," the Fairy Tale star is seen posing with playful flair, donning a bright pink-and-white polka dot party hat and pulling a hilariously exaggerated pout. In the photo, Sehar sits at a sleek glass table topped with a pink and white frosted cake, which reads "Happy Birthday Sehar" in elegant script. A single tall candle stands proudly on the cake, ready for a wish. Surrounding the cake are pastel-hued flowers wrapped in golden ribbon, thoughtful touches that hint at an intimate, love-filled evening. Behind her float three shiny helium balloons in metallic pink and rose gold. Dressed casually in a black tee with her hair loose and natural, Sehar exudes the kind of easygoing charm that has made her a fan-favourite on and off screen. The candid photo captures the warmth and whimsy of a celebration that felt personal, not performative, just Sehar being Sehar, celebrating in her own quirky way. Fans quickly filled the comments with birthday wishes and heartfelt tributes. One particularly touching message from a fan account read: "My dear Sehar, watching you smiling and enjoying your best day is so therapeutic! Those sparkling eyes are an instant mood lifter. Happiest birthday, cheeku! My love! I love you. I wish you the best for an amazing year ahead. Go thrive and shine like the brightest stars in the sky."

Kate Middleton and Prince William Share Intimate Photo with a Personal Note on Their 14th Anniversary
Kate Middleton and Prince William may have spent their 14th wedding anniversary on royal duty, but they were able to steal a quiet moment with each other. The royal couple capped off the first day of their trip to Scotland on April 29 by sharing an intimate photo taken during their day on the Isle of Mull on social media. The snap showed William, 42, and Kate, 43, from a distance turned away from the camera, wrapping their arms around each other's backs as they took in the beautiful landscape. They captioned the image, "Wonderful to be back on the Isle of Mull. Thank you to everyone for such a warm welcome." They signed off with a red heart emoji and their initials, "W & C," standing for William and Catherine. This practice indicates that the message came directly from the pair rather than their team. Related: See Kate Middleton and Prince William's Rare PDA Moments in Honor of Their Anniversary (PHOTOS) The Duke and Duchess of Rothesay, as the couple is called in Scotland, were full of flirty moments throughout their day, sneaking in looks of love and small displays of affection. Kate — who has been spotted tapping her husband on the backside occasionally! — leaned in close to her husband as they walked through the town, smiling as her hand grazed his back. In another sweet moment, Kate rested her head on Prince William's shoulder and placed her hand on his back in a photo taken from behind. After Kate's cancer diagnosis last year, royal biographer Ingrid Seward told PEOPLE that the couple were less inclined to hide their displays of affection from the public eye. "They are happy for people to see them be touchy-feely," she said. "They're in a different phase of their life now. William is very protective and very proud of her for coming through this and carrying on with her life."

Compiled by SHERIDAN MAHAVERA, C. ARUNO and R. ARAVINTHAN SINGER Michael Wong ( pic ) has hinted that he will be adding an extra concert date after all the tickets to his upcoming concert at Stadium Merdeka were sold out in just over an hour. China Press reported that more than 140,000 fans joined the online queue on Monday in hopes of getting tickets which were all priced at RM199 each. In just an hour and a half after sales opened at noon, all of the tickets were gone, leaving thousands of fans disappointed. Many took to social media to express their frustration. However, the Malaysian singer hinted on social media on Thursday that he may be able to add an extra concert date if there was enough support. 'I have received so many messages these few days from fans who said they did not manage to get the ticket for the concert on July 19. 'We are holding a meeting to discuss if it is possible to have a second show. This is to make up to those who felt disappointed that they did not manage to get a ticket,' he posted on Facebook. Wong, who started his music career in the 1990s, was once nominated in the Best Male Mandarin Singer category in the 1997 Golden Melody Awards. He is best known for his song Fairy Tale which was released in 2005. > A woman in China's Guangdong province was pranked by a colleague and locked inside a freezer at the restaurant where she worked, China Press reported. Upon reviewing CCTV footage, it was revealed that a male colleague had shut the freezer door from the outside. Footage showed that he was laughing when he succeeded in pulling off the plank. The woman screamed and banged at the freezer door but no one came to her aid. It was after she phoned her boss that she was told the freezer door had an emergency release allowing those trapped inside to escape. After she got out, the woman confronted the colleague with the CCTV footage but he claimed to have locked the door by accident. It was after she made a police report that he apologised. The woman said while she was not injured, her colleague's actions angered her. 'If I had not brought my phone with me, I shudder to think what would have happened to me,' she said. Many Internet users criticised the colleague for his behaviour. 'What if she did not manage to find the emergency release and ended up freezing to death inside? 'This could have easily turned into a murder case,' a netizen said. The above articles are compiled from the vernacular newspapers (Bahasa Malaysia, Chinese and Tamil dailies).

Sajal Ali and Hamza Sohail's banter keeps spirits high
As Sajal Ali and Hamza Sohail continue to steal hearts on the small screen with yet another pair-up, they make sure to keep the chaos alive behind the scenes. In an Instagram post shared on Wednesday, Sajal gave us a video compilation of the two's shenanigans on the set of their latest serial, Dil Wali Gali Mein. From singing impromptu to posing for selfies, the clips saw Hamza in various locations as he indulged Sajal in fun banter. "This is the sixth video you're making," he eventually said. On one occasion, Sajal teased him with an incorrect reference to a previous character. "You look like Farjaad from Burns Road ," she said, and Hamza erupted in laughter. The Sirf Tum actor starred in the 2024 serial Burns Road Kay Romeo Juliet opposite Iqra Aziz. He, however, played the character of Farhaad in the serial. Farjaad, on the other hand, is Hamza's character in Fairy Tale, which stars Sehar Khan. Rolling out a mock-accent, Hamza stressed, "Excuse me, it's Burns Road Kay Romeo Juliet, and it's Farjaad Khan Bahadur." Instead of correcting her mistake, Sajal quipped, "Oh, really? You look like a scaredy cat, not bahadur (brave)." Hamza's fans expressed much gratitude for Sajal in the comments section. "Sajal is giving us what Hamza doesn't," one user wrote. Another user even dubbed the two "real-life Rapunzel and Flynn Rider", while others couldn't get enough of Hamza's accent. But the accent wasn't all that had fans gushing. "Sajal, you should post a full version of Hamza while he's singing," one user wrote, while another remarked, "We're loving Hamza Sohail (Sajal's version)" Meanwhile, the Kuch Ankahi actor's fans were in awe of videography skills. "Sajal is in her vlogging era and we are absolutely not complaining, ma'am. Please keep doing it," one user wrote, while others pleaded to her to launch a YouTube channel. Fans of both artists banded together to express one collective sentiment. "You two are the definition of 'wholesome'," one user wrote, while another said, "This is healing something inside me." Previously, the two actors starred in Zard Patton Ka Bunn, which focuses on the social issues plaguing conservative communities. It follows Meenu (Sajal) and Dr Naufil (Hamza) as they set out to individually make a difference. On this journey, the two leads also end up finding love with each other. Bidding farewell to the serial in an Instagram post in October 2024, Hamza wrote, "Here's to more stories that touch hearts, inspire change, and remind us of the power we have when we choose to stand together. Let's all embrace compassion, and build a world where love is louder than prejudice."

'From fireworks spectaculars to Michelin-starred dining and sunset cruises, the options for celebrating a couple's love story are endless,' says Korri McFann of Disney's Fairy Tale Weddings & Honeymoons. 'There's no more romantic place for weddings and vow renewals. We have venues that fit any wedding vision, including castles, beaches, romantic gardens, immersive theme parks, and Disney's Wedding Pavilion, which sits on a small island in the Seven Seas Lagoon with Cinderella Castle framed in the altar window.' Whether you're considering a Walt Disney World Valentine's Day date night, anniversary celebration, or wedding, here's everything you need to know about Disney's romantic side.

The international settings of World Showcase pavilions at EPCOT can hold special significance to a couple. Plus, the gorgeous new World Celebration Gardens feature dazzling lights synchronized with thousands of lights on Spaceship Earth.' Book a Capture Your Moment session with a professional Disney photographer to document your proposal. This will relieve the stress of the person popping the question and ensure photos and memories that last a lifetime. A Disney love story Getting engaged is one of the most romantic things to do at Disney World — Photo courtesy of Josh Blye 'People often think of Disney destinations as places for kids or families, but I think this is a complete misconception,' says Josh Blye, a travel advisor who specializes in Disney vacations. He proposed to his husband at their favorite spot in Walt Disney World, the Victoria Gardens in the Canada Pavilion at EPCOT. "It's a small, usually overlooked spot that most people simply walk through to access other areas. It's so serene and beautiful.' That path also leads to Le Cellier Steakhouse, a personal favorite of the couple. They make a reservation at the chateau-inspired award-winning theme park restaurant every visit. 'On our way to dinner, I stopped Owen in the gardens and told him I wanted to give him his final birthday present," Blye recounts. "Very quietly and privately, I proposed, and he said yes. Afterward, we enjoyed an incredible meal and celebrated with champagne." The next day, Blye arranged a private engagement photo shoot in the park with Disney Fine Art Photography and Video. "It was truly magical." Romantic spots in Disney World Some Disney wedding packages include professional photographs for keepsakes — Photo courtesy of Disney Fine Art Photography & Video Among the many romantic things to do at Disney World, there are hidden spots and parks where you can propose, grab a kiss, or take a photo. 'Cinderella Castle is the epitome of romance,' says Blye. 'That's why so many people pop the question in front of it.' McFann also recommends the Wishing Well at Magic Kingdom for a photo opp. 'It's a quiet location that features the iconic Cinderella Castle as a backdrop,' she says. 'I'm also a fan of the many private venues around World Showcase Lagoon at EPCOT. Imagine having a multimillion-dollar fireworks and fountain spectacular as the backdrop to a proposal.' At EPCOT, you can stroll through bucket-list destinations like Italy, France, and Japan and take romantic photos in front of sights like the Eiffel Tower. Don't forget to pick up a couple of Happily Ever After buttons at any guest relations location. These buttons will garner shoutouts from cast members and maybe even a high-five from Mickey himself. Romantic Disney World restaurants Fireworks fly at the many romantic Disney World restaurants — Photo courtesy of Disney's Fairy Tale Weddings & Honeymoons It's easy to enjoy romantic dining in Disney World, although even sharing the park's signature Dole Whip can be romantic with the right person. Love is always in the air at the Michelin-starred Victoria & Albert's at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa and at Cinderella's Royal Table inside Cinderella Castle. 'Couples will also find romantic settings at our many rooftop restaurants with incomparable views of the parks, fireworks displays, and more,' says McFann. You could spend a Walt Disney World Valentine's Day at the California Grill atop Disney's Contemporary Resort, Topolino's Terrace at Disney's Riviera Resort, and Toledo at Disney's Coronado Springs Resort.

However, plenty of romantic hotel options remain for a Disney World honeymoon or romantic getaway. The Four Seasons Resort Orlando at Walt Disney World Resort is a top choice, with its adults-only pool, indulgent spa treatments for couples, and private balconies overlooking the fireworks. Celebrated for its Victorian charm and sophistication, Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa is luxurious and romantic. A USA TODAY 10BEST Readers' Choice winner for Best Amusement Park Hotel is home to Enchanted Rose, the "Beauty and the Beast"-inspired lounge featuring cocktails, candlelight, and the cozy Belle's library. 'The new Island Tower at Disney's Polynesian Village Resort is one of my favorite romantic spots,' says McFann. 'This island-inspired retreat [and Readers' Choice Awards favorite] offers sweeping views of Seven Seas Lagoon and prime viewing for the Magic Kingdom fireworks. It's an idyllic resort for couples looking for a tropical oasis and offers incredible dining at Wailulu Bar & Grill.' Disney's BoardWalk Inn is another of McFann's favorites for a romantic getaway. Located within walking distance of EPCOT and with water taxi and Disney Skyliner service to Disney's Hollywood Studios, it gives couples quick access to the parks. The resort also has an extensive collection of restaurants and shops along its waterfront boardwalk that are perfect for date night.
