'A confident woman holds power': Bollywood star Katrina Kaif on facing the pressure to look beautiful

Image
 Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. In the age of social media, however, there are many beholders. With every image or video we put out on the Internet, the beholders are deciding how we look, how we dress, who gets to epitomise beauty and who doesn’t. No one feels this heat as much as public figures in the entertainment realm whose every feature, every bulge, every curve is out for close scrutiny. If a criticism on your weight or skin tone ever upset you, imagine the celebrity who reads comments on how they look on an everyday basis and pick up the pieces and move on. Which is why, when Katrina Kaif rejects the nomenclature of being an epitome of beauty, it is deeply satisfying and validating. It says something about our collective obsession with beauty when even she says, “There have been times when I have felt the pressure to live up to a certain standard of beauty in my experience as an actor and a model.” This also means that women — whether they are Gen Z, millennials or bo

UAE's Al Ain knock out Al Hilal to reach Asian Champions League final

Image
Al Ain reached the Asian Champions League final for the first time since 2016 with a 5-4 aggregate victory over four-time winners Al Hilal, despite a 2-1 second-leg defeat in Riyadh on Tuesday. Trailing 4-2 after their record 34-match winning run was ended in last week's first leg, Al Hilal quickly cut the deficit through Ruben Neves' fourth-minute penalty. Brazilian Erik drew Al Ain level on the night, though, to leave runaway Saudi Pro League leaders Al Hilal with a mountain to climb in the second half. But Salem Al Dawsari scored a rebound less than six minutes after the restart to give the hosts renewed hope. Brazilian Michael and former Lazio star Sergei Milinkovic-Savic both went close as Al Hilal piled on the pressure, the latter seeing his effort cleared off the line. Al Ain goalkeeper Khalid Eisa enjoyed a fine evening, making six saves, including from Michael and Mohamed Kanno late on. Al Ain, which knocked out Cristiano Ronaldo's Al Nassr in the quarterfinals,

Good News! Shah Rukh Khan to Return as Don but Not For Ranveer Singh-Farhan Akhtar: Report

Image
Shah Rukh Khan is all set to play a Don. But no, it is not going to be for Ranveer Singh starrer Don 3. If a new report is to be believed, Shah Rukh will be playing a Don in his film with his daughter Suhana Khan. Much like his OG Don role, Shah Rukh will have shades of grey in the film. It is widely reported that SRK and Suhana are working together in a film by Sujoy Ghosh. The film is allegedly titled King. It is co-produced by Pathaan maker Siddharth Anand and Gauri Khan’s Red Chillies Entertainment. A source told Pinkvilla, “Shah Rukh Khan is making films for the audience and is well aware about their urge to see him in shades of grey. King is his passion project and he has been meticulously working on all aspects of the project with Siddharth Anand and Sujoy Ghosh. They have collectively carved a very cool full of attitude and swag character with shades of grey for SRK in King.” If this is true, this will be his first ‘Don’ themed role since his exit from the Don franchise.

UAE gets 6 billion cubic metres of rains: Never saw anything like this before, says weatherman

Image
  The country recorded 6.04 billion cubic metres of rain last week as inclement weather struck the UAE on Tuesday. It’s worth noting that the country typically receives approximately 6.7 billion cubic metres of rainfall annually. With rainfall exceeding 100 mm within 24 hours at numerous locations — the country struggled with unparalleled flooding, affecting highways, residences, and vital infrastructure on 16 April. Over four stations recorded over 200.0 mm of rain on that day. This marked the most significant rainfall event in the past 75 years. Stay up to date with the latest news.

‘Tortured Poets’ meet ‘Dead Poets’ in Taylor Swift’s ‘Fortnight’ video

Image
Taylor Swift and Post Malone are trying to get through a seemingly painful black-and-white era. The music video for “Fortnight,” the lead single off Taylor Swift’s 11th studio album “Tortured Poets Department,” debuted on Friday night. The duet features the two artists in various states of melancholy reflection and despair, set in a dystopian and mostly monochromatic world. The video starts with Swift chained to a matressless iron bed frame in a white observation room. After begrudgingly swallowing a “forget him” capsule given to her by an orderly, Swift wipes her face with a towel, revealing Malone’s facial tattoos on her face in the mirror. “And for a fortnight there we were forever running to you/ Sometimes ask about the weather/ Now you’re in my backyard, turned into good neighbors/ Your wife waters flowers. I wanna kill her,” Swift sings darkly. The two then sit at desks in an office – seemingly the titular “department” – surrounded by masked people in all black, typing while t

‘Abigail’ extracts clever horror from a plot to kidnap the wrong little girl

Image
A dual attempt to breathe life into the vampire and haunted-house genres, “Abigail” could have been called “Don’t Tell Mom the Kid I’m Babysitting’s Dead.” The simple premise, however, turns into an effective little horror movie, a bit strained toward the end, but until then a clever and inventive take on six people literally just trying to make it through the night. Of course, the child vampire has a well-established history, including the creepy Swedish film “Let the Right One In” and an American remake, “Let Me In.” Universal has also sought to continue wringing fresh blood out of its monster properties, giving rise to a mixed bag that includes “Renfield” and “The Last Voyage of the Demeter.” “Abigail” owes perhaps a more pertinent debt to the “Scream” franchise, which happens to be under the creative stewardship of the directing team behind this movie, Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, here working from a screenplay by Stephen Shields and Guy Busick. In addition, they’re
