Rekha Desai Redefines Age and Aspirations with A Platform for 55+ Trailblazers
In a society where age often dictates limits, Rekha Desai is boldly rewriting the narrative. From growing up in a deeply conservative household that stifled her artistic dreams to founding Senior Pageant India — the first-ever beauty and personality pageant for individuals aged 55 and above — her journey is a story of resilience, reinvention, and remarkable vision. Rekha Desai always harbored dreams of working in the film industry. But bound by the expectations of a traditional family, those ambitions were shelved early in life. Years passed, life moved on, and then came a turning point: the day her son completed his 10th standard. Rekha saw a sliver of space to rediscover herself — and she seized it. With the wholehearted support of her son, Rekha stepped into a world she had only once imagined. She began auditioning and soon landed brand shoots with over 50 prominent names. Her breakthrough moment came when she was cast in Dabangg , sharing screen space with none other than Salman Khan in an eight-day character role. She later played the mother of Rajeev Khandelwal in the film Soundtrack , also starring Soha Ali Khan. What began as a personal pursuit of passion soon evolved into a purpose-driven mission. 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 'I realized how lucky I was to have a second chance,' says Rekha. 'There are countless others, especially women, who silently carry dreams that never see the light of day — all because of age, family obligations, or societal norms. I wanted to change that.' That's how Senior Pageant India was born — a stage that celebrates the wisdom, elegance, and individuality of men and women aged 55 and above. More than just a pageant, it's a movement that challenges ageism and encourages people to embrace their passions at any stage of life. Rekha's initiative has already begun inspiring a wave of confidence among seniors across the country. With talent rounds, grooming sessions, and a grand finale that rivals mainstream events, Senior Pageant India offers a dignified, glamorous, and empowering platform for late bloomers. Her message is simple yet powerful: It's never too late. As Rekha Desai puts it, 'Dreams don't expire. They wait — for the right moment, for the right spark. I just want to be that spark for someone else.'

Queen Brings Several Bestsellers Back
Three albums by Queen appear on the charts in the United Kingdom this week. One stands out as by far the most popular at the moment, but listeners in the country apparently can't be satiated by just one title — even if it's a greatest hits collection packed with many of the band's most familiar tunes. The love for Queen's unique style of rock remains so strong that the group sees multiple collections appear on multiple tallies at the same time, even though there's crossover from the tracklists on the projects. Two of those three titles currently present manage to rebound and return. Greatest Hits is Queen's most successful project in the U.K. at the moment. It's the only one from the band to appear on several tallies, earning lofty positions on many of them. Greatest Hits reappears on one of the four lists on which it's featured, bounding back onto the Official Albums Sales chart at No. 86. It does so in its four-hundred-and-fiftieth frame as one of the bestselling titles in the country. The Bohemian Rhapsody soundtrack, which accompanied the film of the same name, is also a strong seller once more — at least when compared to other similar collections. That set reenters the Official Soundtrack Albums chart at No. 38. It's a special period for that title as well, as it reaches five full years — or 260 weeks — on the soundtracks-only ranking. Greatest Hits by Queen is still living inside the top 40 on half of all the lists on which it can be found, sitting at No. 29 on the Official Albums Streaming chart and holding at No. 36 on the Official Albums ranking. It also drops only a few spots on the Official Album Downloads roster. Queen occupies a pair of spaces on the downloads-only tally, as The Platinum Collection dips more than 10 spots to make a home at No. 71.

Yes, the actor, who has scored the biggest hit single of his career with a surprisingly short and funny tune. 'Steve's Lava Chicken' is featured several times in A Minecraft Movie, and Black's on-screen charisma and his popularity in general have turned the cut into a trending topic. After the film took over the global box office, the tune itself also became something of a shockingly successful hit. As the track continues to hold inside the top 10 in the United Kingdom, the Minecraft franchise has now produced multiple successful albums. A new arrival further highlights just how popular the brand still is — even when it comes to its music. The official soundtrack that accompanies A Minecraft Movie is finally a charting success, months after the film was released. The set debuts on the Official Compilations chart at No. 19. It's the only debut on the 100-spot list of compilations in the country. The A Minecraft Movie album is being powered largely by 'Steve's Lava Chicken.' That track appears on four tallies in the U.K., and though it's sliding on all of them, it still sits inside the top 20 on rankings dedicated to streams, sales, and general consumption. It appears highest this frame on the Official Singles chart, where it steps back to No. 10, earning another stay as one of the top 10 most popular tunes in the nation.
