Lilly Singh applauds South Asian representation after India's glorious wins at Oscars 2023

Lilly Singh had a gala time at the recently concluded 95th Academy Awards where she met a host of celebrities including Ram Charan, Guneet Monga, Chandrabose, and Malala Yousafzai, among others.

The Canadian YouTuber and host even clicked pictures with a few of them and dropped them on her Instagram handle. In one of the pictures, she is seen holding the Oscar trophy along with “Naatu Naatu” lyricist Chandrabose. She is seen posing with Malala Yousafzai and her husband Asser Malik in another picture.


Singh, who is also known under her pseudonym Superwoman, captioned her album, “What an honour it was to be amongst so many talented humans yesterday! Thank you to @theacademy and @abcnetwork for having me! Congrats to all of the nominees and winners!! On a personal note, it was so amazing to see my fellow South Asians thriving on the carpet, as presenters and in two instances, as… wait for it… OSCAR WINNERS!”

She further added, "Congrats to everyone who worked on both “Naatu Naatu” and The Elephant Whisperers! Here are your roses for continuing to pave a path for all of us… (roses emojis) thank you!! This is hard, important work and I truly applaud you and am grateful. Let’s make sure this progress continues with forward momentum."

Singh hoped to see more South Asian representation on the Oscars stage next year. She wished that South Asian dancers should have been given the opportunity to perform “Naatu Naatu” on the stage.

"Hopefully next year, we can see even more South Asian representation on that stage as presenters, nominees, winners, and dancers (that Naatu Naatu performance was EPIC but I wish some bomb af South Asian dancers got the chance to be part of it). In conclusion, DESIS. (pinched fingers emojis)," she concluded.

Cannes 2025 red carpet sees iconic reunion of Sharmila Tagore and Simi Garewal for Satyajit Ray classic in 4K

The Cannes Film Festival this year quietly handed over its most heartfelt moment to two women who once defined Indian cinema’s golden age. Sharmila Tagore and Simi Garewal, both in their late 70s, walked the red carpet for the restored screening of Aranyer Din Ratri, Satyajit Ray’s 1970 film, now brought back to life in 4K. The screening was introduced by Wes Anderson, whose affection for Ray’s storytelling is no secret.

Anderson called the film a “forgotten treasure,” and watching the two original cast members return to celebrate it decades later turned it into more than just a screening but a living memory. “We’re the only ones left,” Sharmila said on stage, gesturing towards Simi, a comment that landed like a quiet tribute to a time now passed.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan arrives at Cannes 2025 with daughter Aaradhya in style as fans celebrate her return

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has once again touched down in France for the Cannes Film Festival, and this time, as always, her daughter Aaradhya is by her side. The duo was seen arriving at Nice Airport, where they were warmly received. A video of their arrival, now circulating widely online, captures Aishwarya chatting warmly with a greeter who hands a gift to Aaradhya before they head off.

Clad in a navy blue trench coat, Aishwarya kept it simple yet elegant. Aaradhya wore an all-black outfit and seemed at ease, exchanging smiles and laughter during the brief encounter at the airport. Despite recent speculation about whether Aishwarya would attend Cannes this year, especially after a video of her dancing with husband Abhishek Bachchan at a wedding in Mumbai, her airport appearance has laid all doubts to rest.
