The one-shoulder detailing adds a dramatic asymmetrical flair, while the thigh-high slit gives the outfit a confident and modern twist. Nimrat's hair is styled in soft, loose waves that frame her face and cascade gracefully over her shoulders, bringing a relaxed elegance to the overall look. Her makeup is kept minimal yet radiant, think dewy skin, softly defined eyes and a hint of blush that enhances her natural glow without overpowering her features. Staying true to the theme of modern minimalism, Nimrat keeps her accessories to a minimum. She opts for delicate gold jewellery, simple yet tasteful. On her feet, she wears high-heeled shoes that elevate the outfit both literally and stylistically.

Earlier this year, she appeared in the high-octane action drama Sky Force alongside Akshay Kumar and debutant Veer Pahariya. The film, produced by Maddock Films and Jio Studios, was released in theatres on January 24 and featured intense aerial sequences and patriotic themes. Following that, Nimrat featured in the digital release Kaalidhar Laapata, where she reunited with her Dasvi co-star Abhishek Bachchan. While her role in the film was a special appearance, her presence added emotional depth and familiarity to the storyline. What's Next For Nimrat Kaur Looking ahead, Nimrat is set to star in a unique detective comedy that promises to showcase a lighter and more playful side of her acting prowess. She will be sharing screen space with Sunny Kaushal and Medha Shankr in this quirky caper, which is already generating buzz for its offbeat premise and fresh casting. view comments First Published: July 29, 2025, 13:47 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Toys from Bristol hospital charity 'gave my son a childhood'
A mother has raised nearly £6,000 for a charity that enabled her son to "have a childhood" while being treated for leukaemia. Four-year-old Connor, from Portishead in Somerset, was diagnosed in February. He is currently cancer-free but is still having chemotherapy to prevent it from returning. Last weekend, his mother Lucy Radford took part in a 24-hour relay to raise money for Bristol Children's Hospital charity, the Grand said the organisation had provided her family with endless toys and "distractions", allowing Connor carefree moments of "normality". Connor spent his fourth birthday in hospital having a spinal tap, where a needle is inserted between the bones of the spine to collect fluid for testing. To create a special memory, the Grand Appeal fulfilled his birthday wish by delivering a Jurassic Park Lego set to his bedside."It might seem like a small gesture, but in those moments, it meant everything," said Ms Radford."It's a distraction, not just for the children but for the parents too. "While they're playing, the adults can sit and talk about what's going on and how they're coping." While having chemotherapy, Connor was also able to play with the ward's jukebox, toys, puzzles, games and Ms Radford said Connor's illness was "a lot to take on". "No parent should have to deal with their child being diagnosed with leukaemia, or any other illness," she said. "We just take each day at a time really."More than 60 people took part in the fundraising relay, which was hosted by Portishead Running Club, of which Lucy is a member. The club quickly surpassed its initial target of £2,000, raising £6, money will go towards state-of-the-art equipment, music, play and art therapy, family accommodation, and making the clinical environment more Connor's diagnosis, his mother said she thought the weeks-long stay in hospital would be "really hard". "But so much effort and funding goes into making the hospital feel less like a hospital and more like a place of comfort and care, for both children and families," she said.
