5 of the most expensive outfits ever worn on screen by Bollywood actors
Bollywood has never shied away from grandeur, and when it comes to costumes, the price tags are just as dramatic as the performances themselves. From diamond-studded turbans to imported latex bodysuits, here's a look at some of the most expensive outfits ever worn by Indian actors on screen. Kareena Kapoor's look in Kambakkht Ishq became a talking point. The actor had worn a black dress, specially ordered from Paris by producer Sajid Nadiadwala, for the filming of the title song. According to reports, the dress cost Rs.800,000. Akshay Kumar's look in Singh Is Kinng was defined by his dazzling turban — quite literally. A real diamond was embedded in the pagdi, elevating the costume's total cost to ₹65 lakh. 'Akshay has been given a very special look for this movie. The pagdi would be the highlight of the look and would have a real diamond,' a source told Times of India at the time. Playing a mutant in Krrish 3, Kangana Ranaut wore custom-made latex bodysuits that were inspired by Hollywood icons like Batman and Lara Croft. 'All the material for Kangana's suits was imported from the same place (in France) where Angelina Jolie's latex suit (for Lara Croft Tomb Raider) came from. Rakesh (Roshan) didn't want to leave anything to chance,' an insider told Hindustan Times in 2013. Gavin Miguel, the designer behind the suits, added: 'We sourced the fabric from the same place where many Hollywood films get their material.' Each suit cost ₹10 lakh, and with 10 such costumes made, the total hit a staggering ₹1 crore. Authenticity was key in Padmaavat, and designer Rimple Narula spared no detail when creating Deepika Padukone's royal wedding lehenga. According to ANI, the lehenga cost ₹20 lakh and weighed 30 kilograms. The look took three hours to assemble each day and incorporated intricate traditional embroidery techniques such as Mukke ka Kaam, Salma Sitara, and Gokru Dunka. The result was a historically accurate and visually stunning piece of cinema fashion. When Shah Rukh Khan donned his superhero outfit in he wasn't just wearing special effects, he was wearing literal millions. 'It's a million dollar costume — that's four-and-a-half crore rupees per costume,' SRK told Hindustan Times in 2010. What's more? 'There's not just one costume, there are 20 such!' That pushes the total wardrobe cost for the film to ₹90 crore, making it one of the most expensive costume budgets in Bollywood history.

21 emergency kit essentials every woman needs
We're all for protecting our peace and avoiding doomscrolling, but taking simple steps to feel prepared can help calm anxiety. If things do go sideways – like power outages, supply chain issues, or even just a gnarly storm – having an emergency kit to get you through a few days indoors is just smart. Earlier this year, the European Commission advised to have 72 hours of essentials on hand in case of unexpected emergencies. Among the list? Bottled water, a Swiss Army knife, a portable phone charger — and yes, playing cards (because what better way to boost morale?). While being constantly plugged in can spike our worries, they also underline something important: in today's world – whether you're living alone, in shared flats, or heading off to uni – knowing how to hold your own in a crisis is a majorly underrated life skill. Think of it as self-care, but instead of running a bubble bath and painting your nails, you're investing in a battery-powered torch and multi-use tool kit... Building your own emergency kit doesn't mean stockpiling or prepping for the apocalypse (even if the latest instalment of 28 Days Later had us slightly shook). It just means thinking ahead, so if anything unexpected happens, you're sorted. Because let's be real — not everyone has a ready-made support system nearby. With Prime Day underway, there's no better time to get organised. This year, the hotly anticipated sale is running from Tuesday, 8 July at 12:01 a.m. to Friday, 11 July 2025 at 11:59 p.m. – hint, hint it's happening right now – We've done our research and trust us, from wellness deals to homeware steals, you're not going to want to miss this. To avoid making a supermarket dash in a panic, here's our go-to list of everything to have at home to feel safe, calm and in control. The must-haves you actually need — from drinking water and back-up lighting to the tools that will make you feel like Lara Croft meets Girl Scout. Running out of tampons mid-blackout is not the vibe, so stock up on these handy hygiene essentials to make sure you're never left in the lurch. Whopping your flatmate at a three-hour game of monopoly or crashing out over a puzzle you've been working on for 36 hours can definitely take the edge off. These low-tech, high-morale heroes (books! board games! art sets!) help pass the time, soothe the nerves, and keep spirits high.
