STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD In an exclusive interview with Firstpost, when asked about her prep for Mrs, Sanya said, 'I think we had a very solid script in our hand. Our writer, Anu, and our director, Arati, they worked on the script for a year. They brought their own lived in experiences to make the film personal, and I think I had that. When I was preparing for it, I met and interviewed a lot of women to know where they were coming from, if they have faced similar challenges and struggles as Richa, which was really helpful.' She added, 'I think that helped me to make Richa's character what she is on screen because I have seen it very up close and personal with the women around me who have been in these sort of situations, but I have never experienced it myself.' She also revealed, 'Like, some some parts definitely I have. But to make it more personal, I wanted to really understand where she's coming from. I kept her journal as Richa to know her thoughts and her relationship with her family, what her conditioning is as a woman. And I think all of that really helped me to step into her shoes.'

Ed Sheeran's Career-Defining Single Soars Higher Than Ever As It Turns 10 Years Old
A decade ago, Ed Sheeran released what would go on to become one of the most familiar singles in his catalog — and that's saying a lot for the English singer-songwriter, who has recorded some of the biggest hits of the past 10 to 15 years in pop music. 'Photograph' was pushed as the final focus track from his album x (officially titled Multiply), and as the tune turns 10 years old, fans around the world are revisiting it. They have collectively not only turned it into a hit again, but pushed it to a new peak. 'Photograph' appears on both of Billboard's worldwide rankings this frame. It reenters the Billboard Global 200 at No. 197, which isn't far from its all-time best showing of No. 186. At the same time, it soars on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S., the tally that does not include streaming activity or sales data from the United States. There, the tune jumps 20 spaces to a new peak of No. 126. 'Photograph' has spent much more time as a worldwide hit when American activity is excluded. The Sheeran cut has now spent 77 weeks on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S., including this frame. In contrast, it has only racked up four appearances on the Billboard Global 200, adding to that sum as it returns. 'Photograph' is one of five of Sheeran's singles to appear on both global rosters this frame. That roundup includes a mix of his two current focus tracks, which preview his upcoming album Play, as well as several other fan favorites. 'Azizam' and 'Old Phone' are declining after only a few frames of activity, while both 'Perfect' and 'Shape of You' have spent more than 200 frames on both rankings. Impressively, those two latter tracks — also many years old — join 'Photograph' in climbing on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S., though the same can't be said for the Billboard Global 200.

Nickelback's name has secret meaning and fans have only just realised it
Nickelback has been a mainstay of the music scene for almost three decades, but many people are still unaware of the meaning behind the Canadian rock band's name. Nickelback has been producing chart-topping hits since they first entered the music industry - and the rock band continues to enjoy popularity. The Canadian group consists of lead singer and guitarist Chad Kroeger, bassist Mike Kroeger, and rhythm guitarist, keyboardist, and backing vocalist Ryan Peake. Over its initial 10 years, the band saw a rotation of drummers before Daniel Adair became a permanent fixture. Brothers Chad and Mike, who founded the band, initially named it Village Idiot. This was swiftly changed to Nickelback. Although the band, recognised for a discography that spans genres such as post-grunge, pop rock, alternative rock and more, was established in 1995, they didn't achieve mainstream success until 2002. Their big break came with the release of the single, How You Remind Me, which climbed to the top spot in both the United States and Canada, peaking at fourth in the UK, reports the Express. Further success ensued, with albums achieving platinum status and mega hits like Photograph, Far Away and Rockstar securing their position in the cultural landscape of the early 2000s. Despite their fame and wealth, many people don't know the origin of the band's name. The story behind Nickelback's name was discussed on the social media platform, Quora. Fans and music enthusiasts alike were eager to share their thoughts and insights on the band. As it turns out, the name Nickelback has ties to the well-known coffee shop chain, Starbucks. Responding to a query about the origin of the band's name on Quora, one user detailed: "Nickelback started life as a covers band called Village Idiot. "The band later changed its name to Nickelback, which originated from the nickel in change that band member Mike Kroeger gave customers at his job at Starbucks; he would frequently say, 'Here's your nickel back'." Adding more depth to the coin reference, another user shared: "In the sixties, a phone call from a public phone cost a nickel. "To save money, I would give my parents one ring on the telephone when I was returning from NYC, they would then pick me up at the bus stop. If you hung up after one ring, you got your nickel back." In a Reddit thread, a social media user admitted to recently discovering the band was initially named Village Idiot. Speculating why they might have opted for a different name, one person suggested: "I guess they changed it because the original name was a bit too 'on the nose'." Another added: "They are one of my favorite bands. I'm glad they chose the current band name instead of the other." Regarding the initial name, Ryan Peake clarified: "Our small town was almost village-sized, so I thought it was appropriate." Eventually, the band decided to change their name as Village Idiot could potentially attract negative attention, particularly as they aimed to appeal to broader audiences. The origin of the name Nickelback actually stems from Mike Kroeger's time working at a Starbucks, where he would frequently hand customers a "nickel back" as change after they purchased their beverages.

Gen-Z is split down the middle. One side grew up on TikTok, the other yearns for Tumblr
Gen Z 1.0 (born circa 1997–2004) were raised in the emotional trenches of early MX Player and Facebook, where character development came from watching Arijit Singh music videos in 240p and using the mustache filter, unironically. They posted 'it's okay to not be okay' before it became a TikTok carousel. They layered their personalities with lace chokers, poetry by Rupi Kaur (when it was still edgy), and fandom wars. Their Instagram bios still say 'sapiosexual', and they believe they were too emotionally advanced to enjoy a normal teenagehood. We're not talking about skinny jeans vs cargos anymore, this is deeper. One side mourns Tumblr like it's a forgotten shrine of earnest oversharing and dreams of moving to Mumbai after watching Wake Up Sid . While the other thrives on TikTok audacity and Emily In Paris delusions. Same zodiac sign, yet wildly different planets. Here's the truth nobody wants to type out loud: Gen Z has split clean down the middle, and the divide is sharper than your last passive aggressive group chat. Welcome to the Janus-faced generation. The elder emos (generation of flower crowns) genuinely cried to Photograph by Ed Sheeran on loop and treated Dubsmash like a pinnacle of self-expression. They're the last surviving species who can name five Mohit Chauhan songs without Googling, sit through the whole IIFA Awards, and turn a delayed flight into a crisis narrated via Instagram stories. These people will wear a thrifted Nirvana tee on a Zoom call with a client, but hey, they'll also have their cat in the background as an unintentional flex of their free spirited personality. They were the soft grunge soldiers, dressed like they were always two heartbreaks away from running off to Goa to 'find themselves'. Then, there's Gen Z 2.0 (2004 – 2012). These are the kids who hit puberty during the Covid lockdown. They never had to survive the humiliation of being on Facebook (RIP FarmVille). They were too young for Tumblr trauma and just old enough for TikTok nihilism. Their high school crushes happened on Google Meets, with muted mics and lagging video. Their aesthetics are cleaner, meaner, and algorithm optimised: they know the difference between a serotonin–style reel and a trauma dump. This republic of 60–second reels microdoses stoicism between skincare routines, and takes their heartbreaks to Discord servers or private spam accounts with exactly 11 followers – because vulnerability is a niche, not a public service announcement. They watched Class and wondered if Delhi parties were really that toxic. Also read: Sharing Reels creates 'I thought of you' moments. Instagram's Blend takes that away Cringe envy And yet, ironically, the younger ones envy their elder siblings. Not for the fashion (God, no, chevron and feather earrings should never come back), but for the ability to be unapologetically cringe. Because back then, cringe wasn't a crime, it was a rite of passage. The early Gen Zs—bless them—lived before every mistake became a meme. They could write love letters, send GIFs, and wear fedoras without fear of cancellation. These days saying 'I'm excited!' online feels like you're asking for a Twitter meltdown. And Crocs is the symbol of this generational trauma. For Gen Z 2.0, they are not just shoes, they're shields. Intentionally ugly, decorated with ironic charms, Crocs scream: 'I care just enough to be noticed, but not enough to be ridiculed.' Gen Z 1.0 wore Crocs for Holi and sabzi runs. Gen Z 2.0 wears them like they invented irony. They're the sartorial equivalent of announcing a digital detox on Instagram stories. All performance, zero peace. And the weirdest part? They sort of hate each other. Gen Z 1.0 sees Gen Z 2.0 as matcha–chugging robots; Gen Z 2.0 think their elder siblings are unable to move on from BoJack Horseman and are still healing from a situationship they had during board exams. There's no solidarity here, just side eyes and mutual disdain. And while Gen Z 2.0 might have missed Tumblr, they inherited something far worse: the godforsaken curse of RCB still not winning a single IPL. (Edited by Aamaan Alam Khan)

Ed Sheeran just dropped a surprise on Instagram - his new account called 'Teddy's Old Phone', and honestly, it feels like opening a time capsule from 10 years ago. Every photo is straight from Ed Sheeran's old phone, which he switched off in December 2015. That was the year he chose to ditch his phone and stick to emails instead.

Fast forward to the ' Thinking Out Loud' copyright lawsuits - Ed Sheeran had to switch his old phone back on. What he found were hundreds of messages, forgotten pictures, and loads of throwback moments. The emotional blast from the past pushed him to write his latest track, 'Old Phone', inspired by all those lost memories. The Instagram page now has more than 200 photos and counting, and we have gone through them to pick out some of our favourite food moments and just plain fun stuff Ed Sheeran fans will absolutely love. 1.
