Pooja was born in Kochi and raised on a mix of newspapers, pop culture, and too many questions. She studied Communicative English and Journalism before earning her Master’s in Journalism from Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, and began her career interning at The Times of India and Channel I'M — where she later became a news anchor, scripting and presenting her own stories. Between deadlines, she’s worked across digital media platforms, covering politics, gender, pop culture, cinema, and everything in between. She has interviewed actors, creators, and changemakers, and occasionally edits her own video content — thanks to being certified in Photoshop and InDesign. In 2025, she joined the Asian Media Group in her first “official” newsroom gig, where she now covers entertainment, lifestyle, and the layered realities of South Asian identity. She believes storytelling should feel personal — even when it’s public — and likes to write not to please, but to provoke, question, and occasionally stir the pot.
In the quiet streets of Santanyí, a small town in Mallorca, Bianca Censori made a scene that was impossible to miss. Dressed in a sheer black mesh top and ultra-short leather hotpants, Kanye West’s wife turned heads and not all in admiration. Local were stunned by the revealing outfit, with some audibly questioning whether what they were seeing was real.
Bianca strolled through the market, flanked by five bodyguards, with Kanye trailing a few steps behind in oversized clothing and dark shades. Her appearance was bold, bare, and unapologetic, which was a stark contrast to the traditional setting, causing visible discomfort among the townspeople.

The couple’s public outing comes amid whispers of growing friction in their relationship. Kanye recently referenced their struggles in his latest album WW3, particularly in a track titled Bianca. In it, he accuses her of trying to have him committed and hints that the two are no longer living as a couple. The song includes troubling lines about tracking her movements and pleads for her to return, revealing both desperation and control.
Their marriage, which began in December 2022 just weeks after Kanye’s divorce from Kim Kardashian, has never been quiet. From nearly nude red-carpet appearances to controversial public stunts, the couple has consistently chosen spectacle over subtlety. Their most talked-about moment was Bianca’s nearly nude look at the Grammys earlier this year, where she shed a massive fur coat to reveal her bare body on the carpet.
Behind the headlines, sources say tension is growing. Bianca, who holds two architecture degrees from Melbourne and once worked as the head of design at Yeezy, is reportedly eager to step into the spotlight on her own terms. She’s been offered major modelling and brand deals potentially worth up to £4.8 million (₹50.4 crore), but Kanye has allegedly blocked her from accepting them.
“She wants to build her own name,” a source close to the couple said. “But she needs his approval for everything, and he won’t give it.”
While their Spanish getaway was supposed to be a reset, it has only raised more questions about control, independence, and whether Bianca is still willing to live under Kanye’s rules. Whether her public display was an act of defiance or just another headline-grabbing moment, one thing is clear: the cracks in their carefully curated image are beginning to show.

Zakir Khan has created history by headlining the first-ever Hindi stand-up comedy show at New York’s Madison Square Garden.

Fellow comedian Hasan Minhaj, who attended the show, called it a “historic night for comedy worldwide,” underlining the significance of the achievement.

Why is Zakir Khan’s Madison Square Garden show historic?
Madison Square Garden is one of the world’s most iconic venues, having hosted legends from The Beatles to Beyoncé. On 17 August 2025, Zakir Khan broke new ground by performing his set entirely in Hindi, a first in the arena’s history. The milestone wasn’t just a personal triumph but also cultural, as it introduced mainstream American audiences to Indian storytelling and humour in their original language.
The comedian, known for weaving poetry and shayari into his sets, received a standing ovation at the end of the performance. Ahead of the gig, his promotional poster lit up billboards at Times Square, marking how far Hindi stand-up has come from intimate clubs in India to global arenas.
What did Hasan Minhaj say about Zakir Khan’s show?
Hasan Minhaj, celebrated for his Netflix specials and political satire, shared pictures from the evening and praised Zakir for elevating the genre. He wrote: “A historic night for comedy around the world. Zakir Bhai combines storytelling and poetry in ways that take comedy to places I’ve never seen before. I also think my parents love him more than me (I’m okay with that).” Minhaj later joined Zakir on stage, congratulating him in front of the roaring audience.
The landmark moment drew applause from India’s entertainment industry and beyond. Tabu, Vir Das, Arjun Kapoor, Zareen Khan, Kritika Kamra, and Ahsaas Channa were among those who posted congratulatory messages. Actor Gajraj Rao, designer Manish Malhotra, entrepreneur Nikhil Kamath, and mentalist Suhani Shah also celebrated the achievement.
Vir Das, one of the pioneers of English-language Indian comedy, lauded Zakir’s feat, while Arjun Kapoor called it a “fantastic achievement making all of us proud.” Fellow comedians Munawar Faruqui, Harsh Gujral and Rahul Dua echoed the sentiment, showing how the entire comedy fraternity rallied behind him.
Born in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, Zakir Khan first rose to prominence in 2012 after winning Comedy Central India’s Best Stand-Up. His “sakth launda” persona, rooted in the experiences of an everyday Indian, made him an instant favourite. Over the years, his specials Haq Se Single, Kaksha Gyarvi and Tathastu cemented his reputation as one of India’s leading comics.
He also created and starred in the Amazon Prime Video hit Chacha Vidhayak Hain Humare, and judged the stand-up competition Comicstaan. With a diploma in sitar and a family background in music, his performances often combine humour, rhythm and poetry, a style that has helped him stand out globally.

What’s next for Zakir Khan?
The Madison Square Garden show was part of Zakir’s North American arena tour, produced by Outback Presents, with stops across the US and Canada. Earlier in the tour, he collaborated with celebrity chef Vikas Khanna for a cooking session in New York, adding another cultural crossover element to the journey.
For Zakir, the milestone was deeply personal. Speaking to Fox 5 before the show, he said: “Madison Square Garden was never part of the plan. It felt like a place for big movie stars, not for boys from Indore. But sometimes life goes beyond your dreams.”
With this landmark achievement, Zakir Khan has not only raised the profile of Hindi comedy internationally but also carved a path for more South Asian performers to bring their languages and stories to the world’s grandest stages.

The couple met on Strictly Come Dancing in 2022 and began dating the following year
Molly’s EastEnders co-stars and celebrity friends flooded social media with congratulations
Strictly returns to BBC One this autumn with its 2025 line-up
BBC Strictly Come Dancing stars Molly Rainford and Tyler West have confirmed their engagement after a romantic sunset proposal in Mykonos, Greece. The announcement delighted fans, with the news spreading quickly across social media and drawing support from celebrity friends and Molly’s EastEnders castmates. The engagement marks a milestone for the couple, who first met on the BBC dance competition three years ago.

How did Tyler West propose to Molly Rainford?
The engagement took place during a trip to Mykonos, where Tyler got down on one knee on a windy balcony at sunset. Posting a video of the moment online, he told Molly: “I don’t know where to start, so I’m hoping you can continue making me the luckiest man on this Earth, like you do every single day. So baby, will you marry me?”
Molly, emotional and in tears, accepted immediately, with Tyler exclaiming: “Yes! Get in! That’s what I’m talking about.” Their joint Instagram caption read: “Found our forever. 10.8.2025.”
The pair first crossed paths on Strictly Come Dancing in 2022. Tyler, who competed with Dianne Buswell, was eliminated in week seven, while Molly reached the grand finale with professional partner Carlos Gu. Although romance did not begin on the show itself, they grew close during the Strictly live tour.
Speaking previously, Molly revealed: “It developed towards the end of the tour because we’d spent so much time together and we were really good friends. Everyone on Strictly was so excited for us.” By March 2023, the couple made their relationship public, later moving in together in London in early 2024.
Celebrity friends and colleagues were quick to respond. EastEnders actress Patsy Palmer called it “so beautiful, perfect,” while co-star Aaron Thiara commented: “The sunset, the wind, the music. I’m not crying…” Jacqueline Jossa added: “Omg I can’t breathe,” and Louisa Lytton said: “MOLLYYYYY, congratulations guys xxxxx.”
Meanwhile, fellow radio presenters and Strictly alumni Fleur East and Melvin Odoom congratulated Tyler, with JLS singer Marvin Humes describing the pair as “two incredible people who are just perfect for each other.”

What’s next for Molly Rainford and Tyler West?
The couple are now preparing for married life while continuing with their individual careers. Molly remains a regular on EastEnders, where she plays Anna Knight, a role she took on in 2023. Tyler continues his work as a Kiss FM presenter and television personality, also appearing on Lorraine to discuss the proposal.
He revealed he had bought the engagement ring “a very long time ago,” adding: “We cry and laugh every single day. She genuinely is the best thing that’s ever happened to me.”
With Strictly Come Dancing set to return to BBC One later this year, the couple’s engagement has brought a rare romantic twist to a show often known for its so-called “Strictly curse.”

Faissal Khan reveals shocking details about his feud with Aamir Khan and family
• Faissal Khan, brother of Aamir Khan, says his family forced him to marry his mother’s cousin after his divorce in 2002 • He alleges Aamir Khan had an affair with British journalist Jessica Hines and fathered her son Jaan • Faissal claims his family branded him mentally ill after he resisted their pressure to marry • He has now cut ties with Aamir Khan and issued a public notice declaring independence • Aamir Khan’s family earlier dismissed Faissal’s statements as “hurtful and misleading”
Bollywood actor Aamir Khan’s brother Faissal Khan has once again stirred controversy with explosive revelations about his strained relationship with the family. Speaking at a recent press interaction, Faissal not only alleged that he was pressured to marry his aunt after his divorce but also revived long-standing rumours about Aamir’s alleged relationship with journalist Jessica Hines.
According to Faissal, the Khan family turned against him after he separated from his wife in 2002, just four months into the marriage. He claimed relatives insisted he marry his mother’s first cousin, a proposal he refused. “My family was pressuring me to marry my aunt. When I refused, my mother and others became angry, and soon after they started calling me mad,” he said, adding that repeated arguments eventually led him to leave the family home.
Faissal’s controversial letter and Jessica Hines claims
Faissal revealed that his fallout deepened after he wrote a letter criticising family member, including his elder sister Nikhat. In the same letter, he alleged that Aamir Khan had an affair with British journalist Jessica Hines and secretly fathered her son Jaan.
The explosive claim reignited decades-old gossip surrounding Aamir’s personal life, though the superstar has never confirmed or denied such reports. Faissal said the letter led his relatives to brand him mentally unstable, worsening his isolation from the family.

How Aamir Khan’s family responded
The Khan household has repeatedly refuted Faissal’s statements. In an earlier joint response signed by Aamir’s ex-wife Reena Datta, his children Junaid and Ira, filmmaker Mansoor Khan, Imran Khan and others, the family said his remarks were “hurtful and misleading.”
They maintained that every decision regarding Faissal’s wellbeing had been made “with love, concern, and medical consultation.”

Cutting ties with the Khans
Last week, Faissal formally announced via Instagram that he had severed all ties with his famous brother and the rest of the family. He declared in a public notice that he would no longer live in Aamir Khan’s residence, accept any allowance, or claim rights to the family estate.
“With a heavy heart yet renewed courage, I wish to share that I have severed all family ties,” Faissal wrote. “This step is essential for my healing and growth. Life now enters a new chapter of freedom, dignity, and self-discovery.”
British-American woman dubbed “Ketamine Queen” admits to supplying drugs that killed Friends actor
Faces up to 45 years in federal prison after plea deal with prosecutors
Sangha ran a North Hollywood “stash house” that supplied high-end clients with ketamine
She is the fifth and final defendant to plead guilty in the Matthew Perry overdose case
Matthew Perry’s shocking death in October 2023 continues to reverberate through Hollywood as a woman known as the “Ketamine Queen” has pleaded guilty in the Matthew Perry overdose case. Jasveen Sangha, a 42-year-old dual citizen of the UK and the US, admitted to distributing ketamine that led to the Friends star’s fatal overdose. Her plea deal also ties her to a second fatality and exposes a darker side of celebrity drug networks.

Who is Jasveen Sangha and why was she called the “Ketamine Queen”?
Sangha earned her nickname from prosecutors after allegedly running a drug distribution hub out of her North Hollywood home, dubbed the “Sangha Stash House” in indictments. Federal agents seized more than 80 vials of ketamine along with methamphetamine, cocaine, Xanax, and cash during a raid in March 2024.
According to court filings, Sangha was known for supplying high-end clients, including people in Hollywood circles. On social media, she flaunted a glamorous lifestyle of international trips and celebrity parties, masking her role in a dangerous drug pipeline.

What charges did Sangha plead guilty to in the Matthew Perry overdose case?
In her plea agreement, Sangha admitted to five federal charges: maintaining a drug-involved premises, three counts of ketamine distribution, and one count of distribution resulting in death or serious bodily injury.
She becomes the fifth and final defendant to plead guilty in the Matthew Perry overdose case. Others include Perry’s personal assistant Kenneth Iwamasa, two doctors—Mark Chavez and Salvador Plasencia, and supplier Erik Fleming. Together, they admitted to exploiting Perry’s addiction by supplying him with escalating doses of ketamine in the weeks leading up to his death.

How did ketamine contribute to Matthew Perry’s death?
The Los Angeles County medical examiner ruled that Perry died from the “acute effects of ketamine” after being injected multiple times by his assistant on 28 October 2023. The drug, normally used as an anaesthetic under medical supervision, can cause hallucinations and dissociation.
Perry had legally been prescribed ketamine as an experimental treatment for depression, but prosecutors say he turned to underground suppliers, including Sangha, when his legitimate prescriptions ran out. Days before his death, Perry allegedly paid £4,700 (₹5,00,000) in cash for 25 vials of unmarked ketamine supplied by Sangha.

What sentence does Jasveen Sangha face?
Sangha faces a maximum of 45 years in federal prison when sentenced later this year. While judges are not bound by plea agreements, prosecutors have indicated they will recommend less than the maximum term.
As part of her deal, Sangha also admitted to selling ketamine to another man, Cody McLaury, who died of an overdose in 2019. Prosecutors said this highlights a longer history of dangerous drug sales beyond her connection to Matthew Perry.

The Justice Department confirmed that Sangha also agreed not to contest the forfeiture of assets seized in the investigation, including thousands in cash.
