Popular actor Adeel Akhtar has added one more prestigious award to his string of accolades. The 42-year-old on Sunday won Best Supporting Actor at the Bafta TV Awards 2023.

This is not the first time Akhtar has taken home a Bafta trophy. In 2017, he became the first non-white male to win the British Academy Television Award for Best Actor for his role of Shahzad in Murdered by My Father.

This time he bagged the top honour for his role in BBC One’s crime drama series Sherwood, created and written by James Graham.

He beat Slow Horses’ Jack Lowden and White Lotus star Will Sharpe, along with The Crown’s Salim Daw and newcomers Samuel Bottomley (Somewhere Boy) and Josh Finan (The Responder) to win the honour.

Akhtar, who was also Bafta-nominated for the indie romance Ali & Ava, received the award from Apple TV+’s Silo stars Harriet Walter and Rebecca Ferguson.

Hosted by Romesh Ranganathan and Rob Beckett, the Bafta Award ceremony 2023 took place at Royal Festival Hall - located in the iconic Southbank Centre in London - for the very first time.

Charli XCX Embraces Artistic Freedom, Regardless of Album's Success

Charli XCX says her next album might flop and she’s totally fine with it

After the explosive success of Brat, Charli XCX isn’t trying to bottle lightning twice. In fact, she’s more than ready for her next album to sink. Not because she’s lost her touch but because she’s no longer creating music to top charts or break the internet. She’s doing it for herself.

Speaking at Cannes in an interview with Culted, Charli shared that she doesn’t feel the weight of trying to outdo Brat. “When I made Brat, I believed in it, but I didn’t know how people would react,” she said. “It just clicked with the audience. That wasn’t something I planned.” Now, with her next record on the horizon, she’s bracing for it to miss the mark and she’s completely okay with that. “You can’t repeat the same thing twice,” she added, “and honestly, if it flops, I’m fine with it.”

Aishwarya Rai reigns the Cannes 2025 red carpet in a £2.9 million ruby necklace and handwoven ivory Banarasi saree

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan arrived at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival with the grace and impact only she can command. For her 22nd appearance, she skipped the usual fashion formulas and stepped onto the red carpet in a handwoven ivory Banarasi saree by Manish Malhotra. With her sindoor clearly visible and a smile that lit up the red carpet, Aishwarya didn’t just attend Cannes but took it back to its roots, on her own terms.

The saree, built like a gown but rooted in tradition, featured hand embroidered zari in silver and a flowing lace train that moved like a dream. She paired the look with a dramatic cape style dupatta that shimmered under the lights, and jewellery that turned heads, over 500 carats of Mozambique rubies and uncut diamonds wrapped around her neck. The red lip, the signature hair parted with sindoor, every element was deliberate, and every detail carried a message.
