Yesterday, we woke up with a sad news that actress Dia Mirza and her filmmaker husband Sahil Sangha have decided to part ways. The actress tweeted a joint statement which read, “After 11 years of sharing our lives and being together, we have mutually decided to separate. We remain friends and will continue to be there for each other with love and respect. While our journeys may lead us down different paths, we are forever grateful for the bond that we share with each other. We thank our family and our friends for all their love and understanding and members of the media for their continued support and request everyone to respect our need for privacy at this time. We will not be commenting any further on this matter. Thank You, Dia Mirza and Sahil Sangha.”

After a few hours, writer Kanika Dhillon and her filmmaker husband Prakash Kovelamudi also gave out a joint statement about their separation. The statement read, "Yes, we did split but not during Judgementall HaiKya. It happened 2 years back before the cameras rolled on the film.”
Now a few tabloids connected these two separations and started speculation that the reason behind Dia and Sahil’s separation is Kanika. It was reported that Sahil and Kanika are in a relationship. Well, of course, these reports didn’t go down well with Kanika, and the writer took to Twitter to clear the air about it.
Kanika tweeted, “Laughable-Despicable-Irresponsible! Fiction writing is my job!Can tabloids b a lill more responsible pls? Jst bcos 2news items come at d same time-They can’t b interlinked! It’s not a potpourri! Hav NEVER met Diya/ Sahil in my ENTIRE life! Pls get over it n let us get back 2work!”

Well, the reports surely came as a surprise, but Kanika’s tweet clears all the doubts.
Second year in a row for the British Indian model on the VS runway.
Only Indian face in the line-up.
She wore a blush pink set with a sheer skirt.
The show itself featured a pregnant model, athletes, and the overall diversity push.
It happened in New York, with performances, the usual big production.
So Victoria's Secret dragged its wings out of storage for another show. And in the middle of that whole glittery circus, one face felt particularly significant. Neelam Gill was back again for the second time. In a sea of models, she is the sole Indian representative. That’s a pretty stark fact when you consider it. The show took place in New York, with all the expected glitz, but Gill's presence is what truly resonates.

What does her presence mean?
One model, one spot, in 2025. On the surface, it feels almost pathetic. But then you see a photo of her there, in that specific context, and it somehow feels huge. This isn’t about a headcount. It’s about her, specifically her, standing in a spot that was off-limits for so long. Gill herself has spoken about not seeing anyone who looked like her in these spaces while growing up. She is now that image, and it is significant.
Right, the look. This year it was a departure from last year’s icy blue. She wore a dreamy, almost dusty pink lingerie set. The bottoms had a slight shimmer. They placed a sheer, floaty skirt over the set that trailed a bit. It was less about the typical angel wings and more of an ethereal, graceful vibe. It worked. It felt sophisticated, a bit quieter than some of the other looks, but it certainly made you look.

The wider show context
The show around her was, well, busy. Jasmine Tookes, honestly, you couldn't miss her, gliding down the runway nine months pregnant. It was actually pretty powerful. The Hadid sisters did their thing, obviously. The entire cast seemed designed to make a statement, throwing in some curve models and an athlete or two. It’s all part of the new playbook and they are clearly ticking boxes.
