Rohit Shetty’s Sooryavanshi starring Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif in the lead roles was slated to release in March last year. But, due to the pandemic, the release was postponed.
The makers later decided to release the movie in April this year, but once again it was postponed because of the second wave of Covid-19. While there have been reports of the film getting a direct-to-digital release, the makers haven’t announced anything officially.
Recently, at the press conference of Khatron Ke Khiladi 11, when Rohit was asked about the release date of Sooryavanshi, the filmmaker said, “The question is when will theatres open up? The most important thing is vaccination and when that will happen then everything will open up. However, we should not think that everything is slowly getting okay. We still need to take precautions because even today everything is still not okay. In other countries, the cases are rising. This time we all need to take utmost care and not go on holidays thinking everything is opening up.”
Sooryavanshi also stars Ajay Devgn and Ranveer Singh.
It was expected that maybe by this month theatres will reopen as the Covid-19 cases were decreasing. However, currently in India, theatres are not functioning.
Meanwhile, Akshay Kumar starrer BellBottom is slated to release on 27th July 2021. However, looking at the current situation in India, it looks like even this film will be postponed.
Kim Kardashian’s corset selfie sparks concerns over ‘unrealistic’ beauty standards
Fans ask “Can you breathe?” after seeing her extreme waistline in latest photos
SKIMS under fire for promoting a new thong some call “an eyepatch”
Social media erupts with debate on body expectations and inclusivity
Kim Kardashian has stirred up fresh controversy after sharing a photo showing off her tiny waist in a revealing black corset bodysuit, triggering widespread criticism online. The 44-year-old reality star and entrepreneur was called out by fans for promoting what many see as damaging and unrealistic beauty ideals.
In the Instagram post, Kim posed in front of a mirror wearing a high-fashion bodysuit with mesh detailing and matching suspenders. With her hair tied up and minimal makeup, she captioned the post simply: “Mugler Magic.” While some followers praised the aesthetic, others were quick to express concern over her body proportions, especially her dramatically cinched waist.

Why are fans upset over Kim Kardashian’s latest waist-revealing photo?
The focal point of the backlash is Kim’s exaggerated hourglass figure, which some commenters said looked digitally altered or the result of extreme body modification.
One user wrote, “That waist is terrifying, can you even breathe?” while another added, “This is not just unrealistic, it’s unhealthy.” Several users referenced past instances where Kim’s waistline sparked similar debates, such as when she wore Marilyn Monroe’s dress to the Met Gala or a metallic silver gown that led fans to joke about how many ribs she might have had removed.
Although Kim has previously addressed rumours about cosmetic surgery and waist training, the latest round of backlash reflects a growing fatigue among fans who feel she continues to set harmful beauty standards, especially for young women.

What happened with the new SKIMS thong launch?
Just hours before the corset photo went viral, Kardashian was already facing online criticism for a different reason, her brand SKIMS.
The company released a new micro-thong as part of its “Fits Everybody” line, featuring a sheer design with a small, embroidered rose on the front. The piece, which barely covered the model’s body, was immediately ridiculed across social platforms.
“Who exactly is this supposed to fit?” one Reddit user asked, while another sarcastically dubbed it the “SKIMS Eyepatch.” Multiple commenters questioned the practicality of the design and the inclusive claim that the product “fits everybody.”
This isn’t the first time SKIMS has been accused of pushing extreme or exclusionary designs. Critics argue that the brand often fails to accommodate a true range of body types, despite its marketing suggesting otherwise.

Are Kim Kardashian’s posts contributing to unhealthy beauty ideals?
The backlash touches on a broader concern frequently raised in discussions about celebrity influence: the pressure to achieve body shapes that may not be natural or attainable for most people. Kim Kardashian, with over 300 million Instagram followers, is one of the most visible beauty influencers in the world, and her aesthetic choices have long had ripple effects in fashion and cosmetic industries.
Many health professionals and activists have criticised the use of photo editing, waist trainers, and body-altering shapewear promoted by celebrities, saying it fuels body dysmorphia and lowers self-esteem, especially among teens and young adults.

How is the public responding to Kim Kardashian’s recent controversies?
While Kim still commands a loyal fanbase who see her as a fashion-forward icon, the growing chorus of dissent suggests a shift in how audiences are reacting to curated celebrity images.
A mix of concern and satire has filled comment sections, with users increasingly calling for greater responsibility from high-profile figures when it comes to body representation. As one commenter summed it up: “It’s 2025, we should be past this by now.”
Whether Kim or her team respond to the criticism remains to be seen, but it’s clear the conversation about beauty standards and body positivity is far from over.

Chinese singer Zhang Yiyang executed for murdering teenage girlfriend, public backlash grows over film released after death
Chinese singer-actor Zhang Yiyang was executed by firing squad in December 2024.
He was convicted of murdering his 16-year-old girlfriend in 2022.
Authorities confirmed he lured her to a remote forest and fatally stabbed her.
Public anger continues over the release of his posthumous film in March 2025.
Zhang Yiyang, a 33-year-old Chinese singer and television actor, was executed by firing squad in December 2024 after being convicted of the brutal murder of his 16-year-old girlfriend. The Xianyang Intermediate People’s Court in Shaanxi province confirmed the execution, making Zhang the first known figure from China’s entertainment industry to receive the death penalty.
The crime, which occurred in February 2022, involved a premeditated attack that left the nation stunned. The court found Zhang guilty of luring the teenager, identified only by her surname Zhang, to a secluded forest in Xingping City under the pretext of celebrating his birthday. There, following an argument, he fatally stabbed her in the neck with a folding knife.

Why was Zhang Yiyang sentenced to death?
According to court documents and multiple Chinese media reports, Zhang reacted violently when the teenage girl tried to end their relationship. He had reportedly displayed signs of emotional instability, including threatening suicide to manipulate her into staying with him. On the day of the murder, after stabbing her, Zhang attempted to disguise the crime as a suicide.
Authorities later discovered that he returned home, disposed of her mobile phone and his bloodstained clothes in a nearby reservoir, and checked into a hotel. There, he attempted to end his own life but was found by hotel staff and taken to hospital. His arrest soon followed.
The autopsy confirmed that the victim died from mechanical asphyxiation caused by deep neck wounds. The severity and planning behind the act led prosecutors to pursue a charge of intentional homicide, which carries the maximum penalty under Chinese law.
What made Zhang’s case stand out in China?
Zhang’s execution has been viewed as unprecedented in the context of China’s entertainment industry. While capital punishment is still enforced in China for violent crimes, it is rare for a public figure to receive such a sentence.
At the time of his arrest, Zhang had a modest but growing presence in Chinese pop culture. He had appeared in web dramas and music shows and was seen as an emerging talent. The trial became a subject of intense public debate, not only for its gruesome details but also for what it revealed about toxic relationships, mental health, and manipulation.

Why are people upset about Zhang Yiyang’s posthumous film?
The controversy intensified in March 2025 when Jieyou Sound Hall (also referred to as The Sound of Music), a film starring Zhang, was released after his execution. Critics have questioned the decision to distribute the film despite his criminal conviction and public outrage. Social media users expressed anger that Zhang was still being “memorialised” on screen, while the victim's identity and memory remained largely protected due to Chinese legal protocols around underage victims.
Calls have grown for stricter industry regulations and moral vetting of performers, particularly in the wake of criminal charges. Some argue that streaming platforms and production companies must be held accountable for promoting or releasing work involving convicted individuals, regardless of their status.
What does this mean for the Chinese entertainment industry?
The case has triggered a wider conversation about celebrity conduct, justice, and the limits of forgiveness in public life. Legal analysts note that Zhang’s execution reinforces China's zero-tolerance approach to crimes involving minors and premeditated violence. The case may also influence how the entertainment industry handles posthumous releases and addresses the mental wellbeing of its artists.
As the debate continues, Zhang Yiyang’s name remains a grim reminder of the dangers of unchecked aggression and manipulation, and the ultimate consequences under Chinese law.

10 iconic Ozzy Osbourne songs that prove legends never really die
Ozzy Osbourne didn’t come into music to chase fame or play safe. He arrived like a storm, scraping his voice against the sky, dragging darkness and vulnerability into sound, and setting fire to what rock thought it was. He was messy, wild, broken, brilliant, and in that chaos, he changed everything.
With Ozzy, it wasn’t just the bat bite or the reality show or the outrageous headlines. It was the sound, the howl in your chest when War Pigs starts. The goosebumps from the first haunted notes of Mr. Crowley. The punch of recognition when Crazy Train hits the chorus. His songs crawled into your head, grabbed your guts, and shook you. It was the sound of being lost, pissed off, scared, high, in love, and staring into the damn void, sometimes all at once. He gave misfits an anthem, outcasts a home, and music a pulse that refused to die.
This isn’t just a list of songs. It’s a map of what made Ozzy Ozzy. Here are 10 recordings that turned a Birmingham dropout into a goddamn legend.
1.Black Sabbath (1970)
The day metal was born.
That first unholy riff. Church bells. Thunder. And Ozzy’s voice, terrified and terrifying. “What is this that stands before me?” he asked, and no one had heard anything like it before. This was heavy metal being born, screaming into the Birmingham gloom. And it marked the start of something new and unstoppable.
Forget subtlety. Ozzy spat venom at the suits sending kids to die: "Politicians hide themselves away! They only started the war!". It was a scream against war, greed, and lies. Every time this plays at a protest or blares through headphones, it reminds us that metal could tear down empires.
Kids who never listened to Sabbath still know that riff. The story of a time-travelling metal outcast? Bizarre. Genius. Ozzy narrated it like a tragic ghost story. But underneath it all is Ozzy, telling the story of someone broken by time and turned into steel. It crawled out of the metal dungeon and infected everything. Pop culture never stood a chance. Sad, scary, unforgettable.
He got kicked out of Sabbath. He could’ve disappeared. Instead, he teamed up with Randy Rhoads and came back louder, faster, and fully unhinged. Ozzy’s "All Aboard!" wasn't an invitation; it was a threat. "I'm going off the rails!" Cold War dread met a chorus that punched you in the chest. His solo roar back. The sound of a madman finding his power.
That creepy organ. Ozzy whispering about dead talk and dark arts. Then Randy Rhoads… oh, man, RANDY. That first solo was pure mournful beauty. Then the second one? Like demons shredding through the ceiling. Pure dark magic. He’s not mocking the dark; in fact, he’s inviting it in for tea.
This is Ozzy at his most raw. A drug song that doesn’t glamorise anything. It’s bleak, slow, and numb. When he says, “I feel the snowflakes freezing me,” it’s not poetry; it’s what addiction felt like. Ozzy admitted the drug didn’t set him free; it froze him. That honesty hit hard then and still does now. You’re not dancing to this; you’re sinking with it.
He was the Prince of Darkness, sure. But this ballad, co-written with Lemmy, stripped away the theatrics. Ozzy got personal. A soft acoustic start leads into a powerful, aching ballad about love, loss, and coming back. When Ozzy sang it in Birmingham weeks before he died, seated and fragile, there wasn’t a dry eye in the crowd. Hits harder now, doesn't it?
Before Slayer or Metallica, there was this. Raw speed, wild drumming, and Ozzy pushing every boundary. He wasn’t trying to invent a genre. He just did. Ozzy’s voice is chaos controlled, shouting about cosmic love while the band races like it’s chasing the end of the world.
The original version was about divorce. The re-recorded one, done with his daughter, was about something bigger. Time. Ageing. Loss. This wasn’t just a duet; it was a father and daughter grappling with growing up and letting go. The original was sad. The re-recording was devastating. And it gave Ozzy his only UK #1. Ozzy’s voice cracks, Kelly tries to hold it together, and the result is oddly pure. It’s not perfect. And maybe that’s why it works.
10.Take What You Want (Post Malone feat. Ozzy, 2019)
The voice that wouldn’t quit.
At 70, Ozzy landed on the rap charts. Ozzy jumped on a trap-metal track and made it his own. He sounded ghostly, powerful, and weirdly perfect: "I’m the nightmare you won’t forget!". Teenagers who’d never heard Paranoid suddenly wanted more Ozzy. That says everything.
Ozzy didn’t leave this world quietly. He left it the way he lived: loud, raw, and unforgettable. His music was the sound of someone staring into darkness, chaos, and the terrifying beauty of life and screaming back with everything he had.
When Ozzy sang Mama, I’m Coming Home one last time in Birmingham, he wasn’t just saying goodbye to a crowd; he was saying goodbye to his own story.

The thing is, he didn’t play by this world’s rules. But for 50 years, he gave us everything he had.
Now he’s gone.
But the music?
That stays. Forever.

Nicola Peltz shares nude photo taken by Brooklyn Beckham
Nicola Peltz shared nude and topless images from her vacation with Brooklyn Beckham.
Brooklyn confirmed he took the intimate bathtub photo, calling it one of their "best memories."
The post comes as tensions reportedly escalate between Brooklyn and his parents, David and Victoria Beckham.
The couple’s luxury yacht holiday includes romantic PDA and personal tributes on social media.
Nicola Peltz Beckham’s latest Instagram post has set social media buzzing, as the actress shared a series of sultry vacation photos taken by her husband Brooklyn Beckham, including a nude bathtub shot that quickly caught fans’ attention. The release coincides with renewed reports of tension between Brooklyn and the Beckham family.

Nicola Peltz’s nude bath photo: what did she share?
On Tuesday, 22 July, the Lola actress uploaded a carousel of holiday photos with the caption “best memories,” featuring yacht views, beach vibes, and a bold nude image. In the now-viral second photo, Nicola is seen lying in a white bathtub filled with water aboard their private yacht, completely nude but tactically covering her chest and lower body with her arms and legs.
Brooklyn proudly confirmed his involvement in the shot, commenting, “I took the photo in the bath.” He followed it up with a second message: “Love you xx.”
Another intimate image showed Nicola topless in front of a mirror, with only a towel wrapped around her waist and a martini glass in hand. More pictures in the carousel showed the couple enjoying their yacht holiday, relaxing on deck, smiling into each other’s phones, and soaking up the sun in matching white outfits.
Is Nicola and Brooklyn’s relationship with the Beckhams strained?
While Nicola and Brooklyn continue to showcase their romance online, their relationship with Brooklyn’s family, particularly David and Victoria Beckham, appears to remain frosty. The couple was notably absent from David Beckham’s 50th birthday bash earlier this year, fuelling speculation of a deeper rift.
Sources quoted by several outlets suggest that Brooklyn’s bond with his family has weakened, with him reportedly feeling “isolated” in Los Angeles and distanced from his siblings Romeo and Cruz, who allegedly blocked the couple on Instagram. While earlier reports implied Nicola and Brooklyn had unfollowed the brothers, insiders later clarified that the couple found out about the situation only after media coverage.
Despite the ongoing family tensions, Brooklyn continues to post heartfelt messages for Nicola. On their fifth engagement anniversary last month, he called proposing to her “the best decision ever” and shared a photo of his back tattoo, an emotional letter Nicola had written him ahead of their wedding in April 2022.

Why is this NSFW photo making headlines?
Aside from the personal context, Nicola’s latest photos, especially the bathtub snap, are being widely discussed for their revealing nature and the couple’s openness. Unlike the usual glamorous, polished influencer shots, these images feel raw, romantic, and intimate.
Nicola’s fashion in the photos ranged from minimal swimwear to completely nude setups. However, she carefully avoided any explicit nudity, keeping the images Instagram-appropriate. Her followers, including celebrities and fans, have responded with fire emojis and supportive messages. Some noted that the couple’s chemistry and comfort in front of the lens are reminiscent of early 2000s celebrity romance nostalgia.

What’s next for Nicola and Brooklyn?
As the couple enjoys their sun-drenched yacht escape, Nicola continues building her acting career, while Brooklyn pursues content creation, often bringing together his culinary experiments with his passion for photography.
Despite online ridicule over a recent video showing him collecting seawater for pasta, Brooklyn remains undeterred, sharing updates from their life together. In a recent interview with Glamour Germany, he described Nicola as “his best friend” and revealed that he had planned to propose just three months into dating her, though a minor golf cart accident delayed his proposal plans.
With their high-profile marriage, Hollywood ambitions, and the Beckham name always drawing media attention, Nicola and Brooklyn are clearly embracing the spotlight, even if it comes with family drama.

Season premieres August 30 on JioCinema, with delayed telecast on Colors TV.
Show to run for five months, with other hosts like Karan Johar and Anil Kapoor joining later.
20 celebrity names reportedly approached, including Mr Faisu, Gaurav Taneja, and Dhanashree Verma.
Bollywood superstar Salman Khan is reportedly charging between £12.3 million and £15.4 million (₹120–150 crore) for hosting Bigg Boss 19, which is set to premiere on August 30 on JioCinema. The reality show will air digitally first, before a delayed telecast on Colors TV the same day. Khan’s hosting tenure will span 15 weeks, with sources claiming he will earn around £820,000–£1.03 million (₹8–10 crore) each weekend.
The new season of the long-running reality show is expected to be its longest ever, stretching across five months. For the first three months, Salman will anchor the series solo. After that, celebrity guests such as Karan Johar, Farah Khan, and Anil Kapoor are expected to step in as rotating hosts.

How much is Salman Khan being paid for Bigg Boss 19?
Salman Khan’s salary for Bigg Boss 19 falls between £12.3 million (₹120 crore) and £15.4 million (₹150 crore), depending on episode count and runtime. This translates to roughly £820,000–£1.03 million (₹8–10 crore) per weekend, making him one of the highest-paid reality show hosts in India yet again.
To compare, the actor was paid £9.9 million (₹96 crore) for Bigg Boss OTT 2 in 2023. His fee for Bigg Boss 17 and 18 (aired exclusively on television) was reportedly £20.6 million (₹200 crore) and £25.7 million (₹250 crore), respectively. While his current pay is lower than his previous television-only stints, it is still significantly higher than his last OTT gig.
This time, the show is designed primarily for digital audiences. It will debut daily episodes on JioCinema, with a 90-minute delay before the same episode is broadcast on Colors TV.
Unlike past seasons, Bigg Boss 19 is a digital-first property. Makers have also opted for a tighter production budget and are treating this edition as an OTT extension rather than a full-scale TV production.
On July 21, Salman Khan reportedly shot the season’s official promo in Mumbai. According to sources, the theme this time has a political twist, and the promo is designed around that concept.
Additionally, this season will bring back the “Secret Room”, an element fans had missed in recent years. There is also a reported change in the nomination process: instead of housemates nominating each other, the audience will pick the nominees, while contestants will then battle to stay in the game.

When and where to watch Bigg Boss 19?
Bigg Boss 19 premieres on August 30, 2025, exclusively on JioCinema. Episodes will be released daily on the streaming platform, with a television telecast on Colors TV about 90 minutes later. This hybrid distribution format aims to attract both OTT audiences and traditional TV viewers.
The show is expected to run until early 2026, and with Salman Khan at the helm for the initial stretch, followed by a rotation of big-name guest hosts, Season 19 promises to bring back the unpredictability the franchise is known for.
