After months of speculation, Dua Lipa has officially confirmed her engagement to British actor Callum Turner. The pop star shared the news in a recent interview, calling it an emotional and meaningful step in their relationship.

The couple, who have been together for over a year, first met in London and reconnected a year later under unexpected circumstances. Dua described their journey as one filled with “sliding doors moments,” including discovering they were reading the same book the night they re-met.


The story behind the ring that has everyone talking

Lipa’s engagement ring, now a regular feature on her social media, has sparked plenty of buzz. But behind the sparkle was an extremely thoughtful gesture. Turner collaborated with Dua’s sister, Rina, and her closest friends to design the piece. Set on a bold gold cigar band, the centre diamond, likely an old European cut, is estimated to be worth between £160,000 and £216,000 (₹1.6 crore to ₹2.2 crore).

“I’m obsessed with it,” Dua admitted. “It’s so me. It’s nice to know the person you’re going to spend the rest of your life with knows you that well.” She praised Turner for creating something deeply personal instead of following traditional trends.

Fans first suspected something was up during Christmas 2024, when Dua posted a photo wearing the ring. But it wasn’t until the interview that she finally confirmed the news, saying, “Yeah, we’re engaged. It’s very exciting.”


No wedding plans yet, but the excitement is real
 

Dua is currently on her Radical Optimism world tour, while Turner is filming the sci-fi series Neuromancer for Apple TV. Despite the excitement, they haven’t set a date yet.

“I’ve never really thought about what kind of bride I’d be,” Dua shared. “But now, all of a sudden, I’m wondering, what would I wear?”

The couple is in no rush, choosing instead to enjoy this new chapter quietly. “It’s the decision to grow old together,” she said, “and that feels really special.”

Kaantha' and Mohanlal’s 'Iruvar'

Powerful parallels between Dulquer Salmaan’s Kaantha and Mohanlal’s Iruvar

Instagram/dqsalmaan/Google Play

5 striking similarities between Dulquer’s 'Kaantha' and Mohanlal’s 'Iruvar' fans didn’t see coming

Highlights:

 
     
  • Dulquer’s Kaantha teaser draws eerie parallels to Mohanlal’s Iruvar
    •  
  • Both films dive into 1950s Tamil cinema and its political undercurrents
    •  
  • Iconic white dhoti-shirt look connects DQ to MGR-inspired screen legends
    •  
  • Kaantha explores a bitter fallout between a director father and his star son
    •  
  • The film mirrors Iruvar’s emotional depth and mentor-protégé conflict

You watched that Kaantha teaser, right? That grainy footage, Dulquer Salmaan looking sharp as hell in white, that tension crackling in the air? And then it hit you. A weird, familiar shiver. Wait a minute... this feels like... Iruvar? You’re not imagining it. The smell of old studios, the weight of ego in the editing room, the political undercurrent behind every camera roll. For anyone who’s watched Iruvar, that gut feeling was familiar.

Directed by Selvamani Selvaraj and starring Dulquer Salmaan as a brooding, beloved superstar, Kaantha seems to walk a parallel path to Mani Ratnam’s 1997 masterpiece Iruvar. But this isn’t imitation. It feels like a spiritual continuation, a new take on the same obsessions: cinema, power, betrayal.

Rajinikanth’s 'Coolie' aims for £94 million box office as Tamil cinema eyes pan-India breakthrough

Highlights:

  • Coolie, starring Rajinikanth and directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, releases on 14 August.

  • Faces direct box office competition from War 2, starring Hrithik Roshan and NTR Jr.
  • Hopes are high for Coolie to become the first true Tamil pan-India box office blockbuster.

With Telugu films consistently ruling the pan-India box office, Tamil cinema has been playing catch-up. After Indian 2 underperformed despite its high-profile cast, Coolie, starring Rajinikanth, is now under pressure to prove that Kollywood can also capture the all-India audience. Scheduled for release on 14 August, the film is being viewed as a crucial test case for Tamil cinema’s expansion beyond the South.

Brooklyn Beckham sails on £85m yacht with billionaire in-laws as family feud with David and Victoria escalates

Highlights:

  • Brooklyn Beckham spotted on £85m (₹903 crore) superyacht Project X in Saint-Tropez with Nicola Peltz and her billionaire parents.
  • His parents David and Victoria Beckham arrived two days later on their £16m (₹170 crore) yacht Seven.
  • The rift between Brooklyn and his family has deepened, reportedly over money and Nicola.
  • Sir Elton John is said to have attempted to mediate between the Beckhams and Brooklyn.

Brooklyn Beckham’s tense relationship with his famous parents has taken a fresh turn, this time on the waters of the French Riviera. The 26-year-old was recently seen holidaying on an £85m (₹903 crore) superyacht with his in-laws, while David and Victoria Beckham arrived separately just two days later on a significantly smaller vessel.

The yacht, named Project X, was rented by Nicola Peltz’s billionaire parents, Nelson and Claudia Peltz, for a reported £1.2m (₹12.7 crore) a week. The move has been described by insiders as a “financial flex,” especially given the scale of the yacht compared to David’s £16m (₹170 crore) boat Seven, which is less than half the size.
