He comes from theatre. He had worked with all kinds of people. My parents, perhaps, weren't able to understand things. My feminine side, which was emerging so strongly, was only met with laughter or mockery,' Karan stated. Karan faced criticism for having a feminine side He admitted that as he grew older, people stopped being openly critical about his feminine side, but there was still a lot of 'chitter-chatter' about the way he spoke and walked. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với sàn môi giới tin cậy IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo He stated that SRK was the first man who did not make him feel lesser.

21-year-old develops smart device for women's safety in public spaces in Karnataka
MYSURU: Keeping women's safety in public spaces in mind, a 21-year-old final-year student from the Electronics and Communication Engineering Department at Sri Jayachamarajendra College of Engineering (SJCE) in Mysuru has developed an innovative Intelligent Geofence-enabled Wearable System (IGWS) that can relay alerts to the user's emergency contacts in case of deviation, along with her location, in real-time. Geofencing allows creating a virtual geographic boundary around an area using global positioning system (GPS) or radio-frequency identification (RFID) – a technology using radio waves to automatically identify and track items or people – and enables the software to trigger responses when the device carrying that software enters or leaves the area. The youth, Karan D, told The New Sunday Express at the Open Day 2025 at the SJCE campus on Saturday where he showcased his smart wearable device, that the device enhances safety by allowing users to define 'safe zones' (geofences) and enabling pre-designated emergency contacts to receive alerts when user enters or leaves these areas. 'One of the key features is a geofence-based stranger-following detector,' said Karan. 'If a woman is being followed by someone for more than three minutes, the device detects the persisting presence of the same mobile phone (of the suspected stalker) or Bluetooth MAC address (also known as a Bluetooth Device Address, a unique identifier assigned to each Bluetooth device, which can help identify and locate devices during communication).

For the event, Karan was dressed head to toe in an ensemble by House of Masaba. Taking to her Instagram, Karan Johar's stylist Eka Lakhani shared a series of pictures of the director in his ivory and gold look. She wrote, 'Karan Johar for Traitors!"

Radhika Apte embraces risk with Sister Midnight, hopes film releases uncut in India
Radhika Apte has never shied away from unconventional cinema. But with 'Sister Midnight', the actor may have found one of her most daring projects yet. In an exclusive conversation with India Today, Apte opened up about her experience working on the genre-defying indie that has made waves on the global festival circuit, and is now released in the film releases in India, Apte is also concerned about censorship and hopes the final version of the film remains uncut. 'I'm hoping that the film will be shown uncut, and as is, in India,' she says. 'Because otherwise, it doesn't make sense. The film won't make sense,' Radhika told India who plays a central role in the madcap, high-octane feature, described the script as unlike anything she'd read before. 'It's a very strange film. It's a crazy film. I was so excited when it came to me—I couldn't put it down. I thought if Karan (Kandhari) gets complete creative freedom, it would be a very good film. If not, it would be a disaster.' Calling it a 'risk worth taking,' Apte says Kandhari fought hard to retain every creative decision. "Karan really fought for absolutely everything. And he retained everything,' she shares, adding that the film's success on the international festival circuit has only deepened her belief in it.'It's travelled so much, and everywhere we've received really great reviews. Even the Indian press who came to Cannes reviewed it so well,' she says. 'A few people have reached out again and again—they're quite excited that it's releasing in India. I wish I was there right now to see it unfold.'Sister Midnight is now running in theatres in India. You May Also Like
