Sobhita Dhulipala turns 33: Here's how a fan's question sparked her love story with Naga Chaitanya
Popular actress Sobhita Dhulipala has just turned 33! The talented star has been part of the entertainment industry for quite a while now. She made her debut in the 2016 film 'Raman Raghav 2.0', playing one of the lead roles in Anurag Kashyap's movie. Since then, she's slowly climbed the ladder and landed some major roles in web series. Some of her most well-known shows include 'Made in Heaven', 'Bard of Blood', and 'The Night Manager'. Her Bollywood debut was alongside Dev Patel in the film 'Monkey Man'. When it comes to her personal life, Sobhita prefers to keep things private. But her wedding to Naga Chaitanya still managed to grab headlines. How Sobhita's love story with Naga Chaitanya began Sobhita and her husband, Naga Chaitanya, started their love story in the most unexpected way. It all began with a random question from a fan during one of her Ask Me Anything sessions! Yes, they're one of those reel-to-real couples that truly warm our hearts. During the session, a fan pointed out that Naga Chaitanya was following her on social media, yet she hadn't followed him back. After seeing the message, she checked his profile and realised he followed very few people – and she was one of them. So, she followed him back, and that's how it all started. The two began chatting through direct messages on social media, which eventually led to their first meeting – a breakfast date in Mumbai. The couple kept their relationship private Sobhita and Naga Chaitanya have always been very private about their relationship. Even when rumours about them dating began back in 2022, they didn't make any public statements. It wasn't until August 2024 that the news of their relationship was finally confirmed – when they announced they were getting married. Their engagement took place in August, with close friends and family present to celebrate the moment.

Sirens review: Hilarious and horrifying, Julianne Moore's Netflix show is a cult hit in the making
The Caravan reported in 2024 that Nita Ambani hired choreographer Vaibhavi Merchant during the inauguration of the NMACC, which was attended by everyone from Zendaya to Gigi Hadid. Merchant, known for choreographing iconic songs such as 'Kajra Re,' was reportedly with Mrs Ambani, telling her 'how to smile, now to fold hands, say namaste.' This is the sort of detail about how the other half lives that would elicit gasps of disbelief from the likes of you and I. Sirens, the new dark comedy mini-series on Netflix, offers an exaggerated glimpse inside the lives of the one percent. Julianne Moore plays Michaela, the wife of a billionaire, who is joined at the hip with her assistant Simone, played by Milly Alcock. Simone's sister, Devon, is rattled when she doesn't respond to frantic messages about their father's declining health. He has early onset dementia, and needs constant care. Devon is forced to deal with it all by herself, while Simone is living the high life with Michaela on a private island. Played by Meghann Fahy, Devon hops onto a ferry and shows up at the island, only to learn that her little sister has seemingly been indoctrinated into some kind of cult. 'Hey hey,' Michaela says to her comical coven of followers, whom she lectures about birds and animal conservation. She has her own Vantara on the island; it takes up most of her time and energy. In fact, Devon shows up at a rather inopportune moment; Michaela is putting together a fund-raiser for the birds in a couple of days, and her entire staff, including Simone, is busy putting things in order.

Her early life was marked by unspeakable trauma, which is revealed in the show's stand-out fourth episode. There are five in total; all tightly wound and written with a richness that is so rare in this day and age of ambient 'content'. Simone ran away the first chance that she got, and essentially remodelled herself into a different person after being taken under the wing by Michaela — think of her as a version of Sobhita Dhulipala's character from Made in Heaven. Devon, on the other hand, was left to deal with her family's fragility with zero support. When we meet her, she has just been released from jail, following an all-night bender. The several other addictions that she is battling manifest through the course of the show, inviting nothing but sympathy. Devon is hanging by a thread, and she didn't think that the one person she could count on to lend a hand would have joined a cult. Determined to break her out, she parks herself on the island, and gets a good look at the madness Michaela and her minions are up to. Every staff member, she discovers, has been made to sign non-disclosure agreements. The entire property is overseen by a state-of-the-art personal assistant named Zeus. The domineering Michaela exists in a cuckoo-land, while her husband Pete, played by a deceptively demure Kevin Bacon, appears to have retreated into a corner. In a memorable conversation that he has with Simone and Devon's dad Bruce in the fourth episode, they discuss the merits of wealth. While Bruce is certain that he'd have been happier with a little more cash in his pocket, Pete tells him that even his endless wealth couldn't help him reconcile with his estranged children. Both middle-aged men are living in regret, of mistakes made, relationships abandoned, and time wasted. Meanwhile, Simone and Devon have their own heart-to-heart about the horrors they experienced as kids. By this time, it becomes clear that Sirens isn't as farcical as it had initially let on; in fact, it's surprisingly complex. And writer Molly Smith Metzler knows exactly what she's doing. By hitting all the buzzwords in her premise — Cults! Murder! Money! — she is able to sneakily introduce hefty ideas about the class divide, about family ties, about survival. Because that is what each of these people is doing. They're surviving. The children are surviving despite their parents; the women are surviving despite the men; the men are surviving despite each other. Sirens wants to lure you in with the promise of scandal and sleaze, but this is merely a trick. The show sheepishly apologises to the audience for doing this, via Devon, of course.

It isn't easy to find dramatic depth when you're sheathed in satire. The first couple of episodes are especially silly; this is when the show is pretending to be a The White Lotus rip-off; it's when Fahy is supposed to roll her eyes loudly and trip over herself. It speaks to her skills as a performer that she's able to inject heart-wrenching pathos into scenes that would've played more broadly in the hands of a lesser actor. Ditto for Moore and Alcock; they're doing a performance within a performance, which is always the most difficult kind of acting to pull off. It's like Benedict Cumberbatch in The Power of the Dog, playing a character who's playing another character. Sirens is like an unputdownable novel; the sort of summer read that you shred over a weekend. It's a show about cults that's destined to become a cult show. Sirens Creator – Molly Smith Metzler Cast – Meghann Fahy, Julianne Moore, Milly Alcock, Kevin Bacon, Glenn Howerton Rating – 4/5

Jim Sarbh, who has often played rich guy roles in most of his projects including Made in Heaven and Rocket Boys, recently shared his childhood when his grandfather owned an art gallery that didn't do well. The actor also shared that his father started to make money very late in his life before which they lived in a flat given to them by Parsi Panchayat. 'My dad was not in a high economic bracket at all', said the actor. In a recent conversation with Mashable India, Jim Sarbh recalled the times when he lived in this beautiful building in Malabar Hill, but clarified that they were not in a financial condition to afford it. 'A couple years I lived in a building in South Bombay, Malabar Hill.' Explaining how he could afford to live in the most affluent residential areas in Mumbai, Jim shared, 'My dad made money mid-way through his life. He left (Parsi flat) very young because he wanted to make a name for himself. He wanted to make some money. He wanted that kind of success. He left to join the merchant navy. He started his journey as a cadet on ship and eventually became the captain of the ship. He made money very late in his life. Even when we lived in this building (in Malabar Hill), we lived in this building not because we could afford a flat but because it was a company flat.'

Actress and entrepreneur Parul Gulati , who rose to prominence through Shark Tank India Season 2 , is set to make her debut at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival this year. Sharing her excitement and emotions on social media, Parul reminisced about her earlier visit to Cannes in 2021 while shooting in France for the series Made in Heaven . 'In December 2021, I was in France shooting for Made in Heaven and had a day off. I found out Cannes was just an hour away by train, so I went. Sadly, I couldn't step on the red carpet or the steps of the Cannes theatre due to barricades. I was manifesting so hard that one day I would. And this year, your girl is going to Cannes… It's a full circle,' she wrote, along with glimpses from her visit to Cannes. Parul, known not just for her acting prowess but also for her business acumen, is the founder of a successful hair extension brand. Her appearance on Shark Tank India earned her a deal with Amit Jain, which significantly boosted her brand's growth. In an interview with TOI TV, Parul opened up about her journey, the impact of Shark Tank, and how she maintains a balance between her dual careers. 'It's definitely not easy managing both acting and the business. I'm deeply passionate about both, and honestly, there are days when it feels overwhelming. But what really helps is having a great team,' she said. She added, 'I've always said this—I'm married to my acting career, and my brand is my child. Women are naturally great at multitasking. If we can be a wife and a mother, why can't I be an actress and a businesswoman too?' Parul's Cannes debut marks not just a career milestone but a deeply personal triumph of dreams coming full circle.
