Bianca Censori, wife of rapper Kanye West, is once again at the centre of attention, this time for a series of revealing photos shared on her Instagram account. In the pictures posted on 27 May, the 30-year-old appeared in a sheer fishnet top and translucent tights, opting to go without any visible undergarments. The outfit, worn with kitten heels and dark sunglasses, had no captions but was enough to set social media alight.
While this isn’t the first time Censori has stepped out in an outfit that leaves little to the imagination, the reactions online have been louder than usual. Some fans praised her confidence, calling her “the moment,” while others criticised her openly. Comments ranged from admiration to concern: “You look incredible,” one follower gushed. Another wrote, “No respect at all.” There were even calls for her arrest from those shocked by her street-level near-nudity during a recent trip to Spain.

The debate extends beyond fashion. Critics have raised serious questions about her autonomy. West has previously stated publicly that he has “dominion” over his wife, sparking backlash about the dynamic of their relationship. According to insiders, Censori has been struggling behind the scenes. One source claimed she feels stifled by West’s control over her personal and professional life and that she’s been hoping to break away but finds it difficult.
These revelations follow months of speculation about the couple’s future. The pair married quietly in December 2022 after West finalised his divorce from Kim Kardashian. Since then, their public appearances, from nude red carpet looks to intimate market strolls, have often made headlines for the wrong reasons. In one such outing in Mallorca, witnesses expressed disbelief at Censori’s nearly nude look, questioning how she wasn’t arrested.

Adding to the tension are reports that West has discouraged her from pursuing independent brand deals, causing friction as Censori reportedly wants to build her own identity. “She misses working on her own projects,” one source told The Sun. Another insider suggested that West may finally be easing his grip, hinting at a shift where Censori can reclaim control of her career and life.
For now, the world watches as Bianca continues to make bold choices. Some see them as statements of power, others as cries for freedom. Whether she’s redefining fashion or quietly fighting for independence, she’s clearly not fading into the background.
Amitabh Bachchan has made yet another high-value move in Ayodhya’s fast-growing property market. The veteran actor has reportedly bought a 25,000-square-foot plot for £3.7 million (₹40 crore), marking his fourth land purchase in the temple city within a year.
The newly purchased land is located near The Sarayu, an upscale real estate project where Bachchan had previously invested £1.4 million (₹14.5 crore). This recent deal adds to a string of property investments he has made in the area since the development of the Ram Temple began drawing national attention and infrastructure projects to Ayodhya.

This is not just about business. A large 54,000-square-foot plot registered under the Harivansh Rai Bachchan Trust, named after his late father, is also part of his Ayodhya holdings. There are reports that a memorial is being planned on that site to honour the poet, offering a personal touch to what appears to be a wider strategic expansion.
Bachchan’s interest in Ayodhya real estate began last year, when he bought a 5,372-square-foot plot for £440,000 (₹4.54 crore) just before the Ram Temple’s inauguration. Since then, his name has become increasingly tied to the city’s transformation into a high-profile spiritual and tourism hub.

In addition to Ayodhya, he has been active in Mumbai’s property circuit. He recently sold a duplex flat in Andheri for £8 million (₹83 crore), a property he had purchased for £3 million (₹31 crore) in 2021, nearly tripling his investment. In 2023, he and his son Abhishek also jointly purchased 10 apartments, valued at £2.4 million (₹25 crore).
Just days before the Ayodhya purchase, Bachchan had also invested £1.9 million (₹20 crore) in a real estate firm run by Bollywood producer Anand Pandit, putting £960,000 (₹10 crore) into two separate projects. These back-to-back deals suggest a deliberate diversification of assets, with Ayodhya becoming a central piece in that plan.

According to Jaya Bachchan’s election affidavit from last year, the Bachchan family’s total assets stood at £152 million (₹1,578 crore), with £70.5 million (₹729.77 crore) in immovable assets alone. With Amitabh’s continued property acquisitions, those figures are almost certainly higher now.
Whether it is personal legacy or calculated investing or both, Amitabh Bachchan’s real estate footprint is growing fast, and Ayodhya is clearly central to his long-term vision.

Hailey Bieber celebrates Rhode’s £800 million sale with fans calling her the real boss in the Bieber household
Hailey Bieber is riding high after her skincare label Rhode was bought for $1 billion (₹84,00,00,00,000) by e.l.f. Beauty, a big leap for the 28-year-old who launched the brand in 2022. The deal includes £480 million (₹50,40,00,00,000) in cash, e.l.f. stock worth £160 million (₹16,80,00,00,000), and a potential £160 million (₹16,80,00,00,000) more depending on how well the brand performs over the next three years.
Hailey isn’t just cashing out now; she’s stepping up. She’ll now serve as Chief Creative Officer and Head of Innovation at Rhode, while also becoming a strategic advisor at e.l.f. Beauty. In her announcement, she said the deal felt like the beginning of a new chapter and credited her team and customers for their role in Rhode’s growth.
While Hailey’s career hits new heights, her husband Justin Bieber is making headlines for less celebratory reasons. Reports have surfaced claiming he’s been facing serious financial setbacks, including an $8 million (₹67,20,00,000) debt from his cancelled 2022 Justice tour. Insiders suggest the pop star’s spending habits and questionable financial management may have led to these issues.
Despite selling his music catalogue for $200 million (₹16,80,00,00,000) in 2022, sources say Justin’s fortune has taken a hit, and he was reportedly lent money by former manager Scooter Braun to cover the tour fallout. There were even murmurs last year that Justin considered suing his financial advisors for mishandling funds, though his team denied all claims of money trouble.

Meanwhile, fans have been closely watching the couple’s dynamic. Hailey’s billion-dollar win sparked online chatter suggesting she should “take the money and run,” with several social media users urging her to leave Justin, citing past moments where he appeared dismissive or distant. His quiet reaction to her business success, posting a photo with no caption, fuelled further speculation.
Still, the couple publicly appear united. Justin recently posted photos of himself embracing Hailey, though fans debated whether it felt supportive or staged. With Hailey now officially the top earner in the Bieber household, many are wondering how this shift will impact their relationship.
For now, Hailey’s focus remains on building Rhode into a global name, proving she’s more than just a celebrity wife, she’s a top player in the beauty business.
It’s been nearly two years since Ms. Marvel made its debut on Disney+, and while fans have been waiting for news about a second season, actor Aramis Knight has shared a fairly grim update. Knight, who played the character Red Dagger (Kareem) in the series, revealed that he hasn’t heard anything about a return and doesn’t think it’s happening anytime soon.
Speaking at the Karate Kid: Legends premiere in New York, Knight admitted that the chances of Season 2 seem slim. “I don’t think so,” he said when asked if he’ll be back. “It’s been a while now. I’d love to return, but things didn’t line up, COVID, scheduling, and maybe even some creative shifts. I’m still waiting on a call, but I haven’t heard anything.”
Knight mentioned that he was initially supposed to appear in more Marvel projects, but none of those plans materialised. While he joked that Kamala Khan might have him on speed dial for a Young Avengers team-up, his tone made it clear that there's been no movement behind the scenes.
Ms. Marvel, which premiered in June 2022, introduced audiences to Kamala Khan, a Muslim teen from New Jersey who discovers her superpowers and identity. The show received praise for its fresh perspective, young energy, and cultural representation. Kamala then made the leap to the big screen with The Marvels in 2023, where she appeared alongside other MCU heroes.

Talks about Season 2 had been floating around since the series ended, but nothing official has come out. In a podcast interview in 2023, co-director Adil El Arbi mentioned that any plans for a follow-up were on pause until after The Marvels released. Unfortunately, that film didn’t perform well at the box office which may have added to the uncertainty.
Marvel Studios hasn’t officially cancelled Ms. Marvel, but they’re in the middle of reorganising their television content. Several shows are being restructured or delayed, and Ms. Marvel may simply be caught in the middle of this shift.
Deepika Padukone’s exit from Spirit, directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, triggered an online storm, mainly due to her reported condition of limiting workdays to eight hours. While speculation ran wild, with unnamed sources labelling her “unprofessional,” Ajay Devgn has spoken up, backing the actor’s right to set boundaries.
At a recent press event for Maa, a horror film featuring his wife Kajol, Ajay addressed the topic head-on. When asked if filmmakers are okay with actors, especially new mothers, asking for shorter shifts, he said, “It’s not like people are against it. Most decent filmmakers understand. Eight or nine-hour shifts are common now.”

He made it clear that expectations in the industry are changing. “It depends on the individual, but I think a large part of the industry is already adapting.”
Kajol, who was standing beside him, chimed in with a smile, “I love the idea of working less,” offering her own nod of approval to a more balanced work culture.
Deepika’s role in Spirit, opposite Prabhas, was meant to be her second big Telugu project after Kalki 2898 AD. But things reportedly soured after she requested an eight-hour workday and a fee of £1.9 million [approx. ₹20 crore] along with a profit share. Rumours also suggest she wasn’t keen on delivering dialogues in Telugu. Eventually, Triptii Dimri was confirmed as her replacement.

In response to all this, Vanga posted a cryptic message on Twitter, hinting at betrayal and “dirty PR games,” accusing an unnamed actor of breaching an unwritten trust. While he didn’t name anyone, most believed the post was aimed at Deepika. His mention of “Is this what your feminism stands for?” added fuel to the fire.
Through it all, Deepika has stayed silent, except for a calm remark at a recent event: “When faced with tough choices, I listen to my inner voice. Peace matters more.”
With Ajay and Kajol now speaking out, the conversation seems to be shifting. The film world may not be the same as it once was, and perhaps that’s for the better.

Karan Johar, Janhvi Kapoor, Neeraj Ghaywan, Vishal Jethwa and Ishaan Khatter at Cannes for Homebound last Wednesday (21)
On paper, Neeraj Ghaywan’s Homebound, which was premiered last Wednesday (21) at the Cannes Film Festival, may seem like a typical Bollywood tearjerker.
It follows two best friends who grow up together in a poor village and set out to take on the world, with their friendship and mettle tested at every turn.
But this is no average buddy movie. Set in northern India during the pandemic lockdowns, the moving epic goes far beyond a simple tale of friendship – one boy is Muslim, the other a low-caste Hindu.
Their unbreakable bond, forged in adversity, is the beating heart of the film, which so moved Hollywood legend Martin Scorsese that he got on board to help bring it to the world.
There are millions of such friendships which cross religious and caste divides in India, its director said, “but it has never been shown” before on the big screen.
“Only a handful of films have ever featured dalit (lower caste) stories and most of those were made by people from the privileged castes,” Ghaywan said.
Ghaywan is a dalit director from the lowest rung in the Hindu caste system and a rarity in the Hindi industry.
He believes he is the “first acknowledged dalit behind a camera in the history of Hindi cinema. That’s a stunning disparity,” he said.
And one that means the stories of the quarter of India’s 1.4 billion people who are tribals or come from castes once disparagingly known as “untouchables”, are not being seen.
“India and the world really needs to see their stories,” said Ghaywan, adding that with such a vast population “it is understandable that they are often talked of as just statistics.”
“I myself come from a marginalised background. I am a dalit. So there’s a lot of me in the movie,” said Ghaywan, who lives near Mumbai but grew up in the south of the country. It is also loosely inspired by a heartbreaking real-life tale of poor workers who set out on foot on an epic journey back to their village from the city during the Covid lockdowns.
Ghaywan brought his two leading actors, Ishaan Khatter and rising star Vishal Jethwa, out to the villages to see the lives of India’s poor from the inside
. “We did a long immersive exercise,” Ghaywan said. “We got to know people and ate in their homes. It was genuinely such a humbling experience.”
There was a nine-minute standing ovation following the screening in the Un Certain Regard segment at the Debussy Theatre last week. The cast was joined by producer Karan Johar.
Khatter said he had loved and admired Ghaywan for many years, while Jethwa said Homebound feels like a step forward for “all of us”.
Knowing he has to get past India’s censors, Ghaywan insisted he tried to avoid politics or inflaming tensions.
Sandhya Suri’s movie Santosh, which premiered at Cannes last year, still hasn’t been screened in India despite winning a heap of international awards.
Santosh shone a light on sexism, religious discrimination and corruption in the Indian police as well as the treatment of lower caste people.
“I like to keep politics underneath the narrative, because if your politics supersedes the story it’s just propaganda. Even good propaganda is propaganda. It’s not cinema,” Ghaywan added.
Emotion, however, holds no fear for Ghaywan. “I embrace it. I make no apologies for it. We Indians are an emotional people and this is a story that brings up a lot of them,” he explained.
Industry insiders have “bawled and bawled” at private screenings of the film, he said, with Scorsese saying that “Neeraj has made a beautiful film that’s a significant contribution to Indian cinema.”
The noted filmmaker said he wasn’t surprised that Cannes snapped it up for its secondary “Un Certain Regard” selection after Ghaywan won two prizes there in 2015 with his debut film, Masaan. Flattered as he is, Ghaywan said that “I did not make the movie for festivals” or arthouse audiences.
“The most important thing is that it is seen in India,” he said.
Ghaywan stressed that Homebound is “attacking no one”, with its story even set “in a fictional state”.
