A few days ago, it was reported that Saroj Khan has been admitted to the hospital due to breathing issues. Her COVID-19 test reports were negative. However, this morning, we woke up with the sad news that the veteran choreographer passed away due to cardiac arrest.
Her nephew Manish Jagwani told PTI, “She passed away due to cardiac arrest at around 2:30 am at the hospital.”
In her career spanning for more than four decades, Saroj Khan had choreographed many famous songs like Hawa Hawai, Tamma Tamma, Ek Do Teen, Dola Re Dola, Dhak Dhak Karne Laga, Ye Ishq Haaye, and many more.
She had won eight Filmfare Awards and holds a record of winning maximum Filmfare awards for Best Choreography. For songs like Dola Re Dola (Devdas), Yeh Ishq Haaye (Jab We Met), and Sringaram (Tamil film), she had won three National Awards.
Apart from choreographing songs, Saroj Khan was also known for judging reality shows. She had judged dance shows like Nach Baliye and Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa. She also had her own show titled Nachle Ve With Saroj Khan in which she used to come on TV and teach how to dance.
Let’s talk about Urvashi Rautela. Not the memes or the mockery but the walking paradox that keeps showing up on red carpets, in headlines, and sometimes, accidentally, in temples.
You might roll your eyes when her name pops up, but you don’t scroll past. Whether she’s blocking a hotel staircase at Cannes for a photo op or casually suggesting a temple near Badrinath is dedicated to her, Urvashi is a recurring character in India’s cultural circus, equal parts spectacle, sincerity, and self-promotion.

From crowns to Cannes: the evolution of Urvashi
Once a beauty queen, now a full-time internet obsession, Urvashi Rautela has been chasing stardom across languages, genres, and continents. She’s done Bollywood, dipped into regional cinema, walked international carpets, and, most importantly, refused to be invisible.
At Cannes 2025, she delivered one viral moment after another. A video of her blocking a hotel staircase for a photoshoot, with guests trapped and eyes rolling, went viral. Netizens called it “peak cringe.” Her response? Silence. Because why apologise when you’re trending?
A black gown with a torn armpit? Fans debated: PR stunt or legit disaster? Urvashi spun it into a hero moment, claiming she ripped it while helping a 70-year-old woman. Cue awws and eye-rolls!
A gold “bra-necklace” clutch dubbed “Barbie’s midlife crisis” and a crocodile necklace. Cartier or copycat? The internet still isn’t sure!
But what others call faux pas, Urvashi spins into flair. Even when critics compared her golden look to “Barbie’s midlife crisis,” she didn’t flinch. She wore it like armour and perhaps that’s the point.

Temples, tales, and a touch of delusion?
Then there was that temple claim. In a now-notorious interview, she said a shrine near Badrinath was built in her name, where devotees garlanded her photo. The internet exploded. Locals fumed. Eventually, she clarified: “It’s named after the apsara Urvashi!”
This wasn’t her first godly flex. In 2022, she reposted a fan’s “puja” to her, cheekily dubbing it Urvashism. She even expressed a desire for a real temple in South India, citing her growing fandom there.
So the question is, is it self-worship or self-marketing? Depends who you ask. But in a media world where buzz matters more than background checks, her temple talk, however misfired, worked.

Fact-checking Urvashi: a full-time job
What’s tricky with Urvashi is that you never know where confidence ends and creative fiction begins. She’s claimed to be the first Bollywood actress to walk in Manipuri attire. Said she’s fluent in French. Hinted at roles in Kantara 2 and a Parveen Babi biopic, both quickly denied by the respective creators.
Add to that her tone-deaf moment after the Saif Ali Khan incident, where she accidentally pivoted from a stabbing incident to discussing her diamond Rolex. The internet says even her apologies sometimes feel like PR rehearsals rather than genuine remorse.
Still, she keeps pushing. And pushing. And pushing.

The meme economy loves her
No Indian celebrity gets memed quite like Urvashi Rautela. Twitter and Reddit dissect her every move. There’s a whole corner of the internet that treats her as performance art, like a case study in what happens when hustle overtakes humility.
Nicknames like “Mata Urvashi” and “Damdami Mai” trend ironically. Hashtags like #Urvashism live on. Even the phrase “delulu is the solulu” fits her internet brand like a glove. The point is, she’s not just mocked, she’s watched.
And that’s the trick. In today’s fame economy, it’s not about being respected. It’s about being remembered. And on that front, Urvashi delivers.
Behind the glitter and gaffes is someone who clearly wants it. The fame. The acceptance. The top seat at every table. Urvashi Rautela might not always have the right words or the right necklace, but what she does have is relentless drive.
Her story isn’t polished, but it’s persistent. She’s a walking headline generator, never playing it safe, never fading quietly. Whether you laugh with her or at her, she’s part of the cultural conversation. And let’s be honest, we need a few characters like that to keep the circus interesting.

Final thoughts? Don’t underestimate the unbothered
Urvashi Rautela is not trying to be perfect. She’s trying to be unforgettable. And in an era of blink-and-you’ll-miss-it fame, she’s cracked the code. Loud outfits, louder claims, and the loudest kind of self-belief.
So next time you see her trending, ask yourself: Is she clueless… or playing 4D chess while we’re stuck on checkers? Either way, you’ll keep watching. And that’s exactly the point.

Meryl Streep as Miranda Priestly is expected to reprise her iconic role
After years of buzz, The Devil Wears Prada sequel has locked in a release date: 1 May 2026. Yes, 20 years after the original hit cinemas, we’re heading back into the high-stakes world of fashion and media.
The original 2006 film, based on Lauren Weisberger’s novel, followed fresh graduate Andy Sachs, played by Anne Hathaway, as she entered the intimidating orbit of Miranda Priestly, played by the iconic Meryl Streep, editor of Runway magazine. Alongside them were Emily Blunt as the overworked assistant and Stanley Tucci as the stylish insider who helped Andy find her footing.
While no cast has been officially confirmed for the sequel, all signs point to the possible return of Streep and Blunt. Early plot details suggest the story picks up in a very different media climate. Miranda is still holding the reins at Runway, but the print industry is crumbling, and she finds herself needing ad revenue from a luxury conglomerate, one now led by her former assistant, Emily. A face-off between mentor and protégé? That’s the rumour.
The script is reportedly being penned by Aline Brosh McKenna, who adapted the original film. David Frankel, who directed the first movie, and producer Wendy Finerman are also in discussions to return.
As for Anne Hathaway, she’s been cautious when asked about reprising her role, hinting that fans shouldn’t get their hopes up too high. Stanley Tucci, on the other hand, seems more optimistic, calling the original one of the best experiences of his career and saying he’d be thrilled to return.
Emily Blunt gave the clearest signal at a film festival last December, confirming “rumblings” and saying the cast would love to reunite.
The release announcement came as part of Disney’s updated film calendar, which also included a major reshuffle of its Marvel slate. The sequel takes the date originally held by Avengers: Doomsday, now pushed to December 2026.
So, while we wait for casting confirmations, one thing is certain: The Devil Wears Prada is returning to the runway, and this time, the stakes are even higher.

‘Guardians’ is developed by United for Wildlife founded by William and his charitable foundation
The new six-part series, ‘Guardians’, featuring Britain’s Prince William throws light upon the dangerous work of wildlife rangers. William who is associated to the documentary, has already made the ranger’s efforts one of the important causes of his campaign. ‘Guardians’ will be broadcasted from Friday on BBC Earth’s YouTube and social media channels
The show is William’s brainchild, aimed to emphasise the perilous work done by the rangers. It explains the threatened environments the rangers are exposed to, in order to protect the wildlife.
The documentary will have immersive footages of six major areas – Central African Republic, the Himalayas, Mexico’s Sea of Cortez, Kruger national park in South Africa, Sri Lanka and Caru Indigenous Land in Brazil. Each episode will be of a new story, six to ten minute long.
The Central African Republic episode will cover the story of a reformed poacher who now, dedicates his life for wildlife protection.
The Himalayan episode will show the efforts of rangers for the coexistence of snow leopards and local communities.
The episode about Mexico’s Sea of Cortez features what was once called “the world’s aquarium.” It tells the story a reformed illegal fisherman who now protects the disturbed ecosystem.
The Kruger National Park episode explains about the groups of people who toils to protect and rescue endangered rhinos, facing poaching threats.
Sri Lankan episode will deal about hardworking veterinary experts who works to rehabilitate elephants, leopards and other animals at risk.
Caru Indigenous Land episode will explore the community-led fight to prevent the illegal wildlife crimes.
"The reality is that protecting our natural world has become one of the most dangerous jobs on the planet. We need to understand and recognise nature’s Guardians, and the critical work they do," William said.
The rangers are frontline fighters who take massive risks for sustainable human-animal coexistence and prevention of habitat loss. They work amidst poachers and endangered species for wildlife protection, William added.
‘Guardians’ is developed by United for Wildlife founded by William and his charitable foundation. The project also includes a five-year financial package which provides access to affordable insurance cover for 10,000 rangers across Africa, under their ‘Nature Protectors’ initiative.
William had met several rangers during his travels. He realised their hardships after civil wars, illegal fishing or poaching through them.
William and United for Wildlife frequently raises their voice against illegal wildlife trade. As per their observation, illegal wildlife trade is approximately worth up to $20 billion annually, and it is linked to violent crime, corruption and trafficking. Yet, 1.5 million more rangers are required to meet global environment biodiversity targets by 2030 said William.
The prince also paid tribute to late ranger Anton Mzimba, who was shot dead at a nature reserve in South Africa. About 1,400 rangers had lost their lives due to their risky profession over the past ten years, mostly none of them reported.

How MrBeast built a billion dollar empire by giving not keeping
Jimmy Donaldson, better known online as MrBeast, has done what few could imagine: become a billionaire not by keeping, but by giving. At just 27, he's now the youngest self-made billionaire, having built an empire from scratch through YouTube videos that mix wild challenges with generosity.
Hailing from a small town in North Carolina, Jimmy started uploading videos to YouTube at 12. His early content was simple, like gaming clips, reaction videos, and goofy stunts. Then came a game-changer: a 44-hour-long video of him counting to 100,000. It was bizarre, oddly addictive, and wildly popular. That viral moment unlocked a formula: doing something ridiculous, filming it, and tying it all to massive giveaways.

But this wasn’t just about fame. MrBeast quickly leaned into over-the-top generosity as his brand. Whether it was tipping delivery drivers with houses or giving £800,000 (₹8.4 crore) to the last person touching a briefcase of cash, each stunt pushed the line between entertainment and philanthropy. And viewers couldn’t get enough.

Today, his main channel boasts 270 million subscribers, the highest for any individual creator, with his other channels, including Beast Reacts and MrBeast Gaming, pushing the total to over 415 million. But YouTube is just one piece of his empire.
MrBeast turned that attention into business gold. He launched Beast Burger, a virtual fast-food chain, and Feastables, a chocolate brand, both multi-million-pound ventures. He’s also invested in up-and-coming creators and crypto, showing he’s not just generous but also sharp with money.
Still, what sets Jimmy apart is his mindset. He’s often said that he doesn’t aim to stack wealth for luxury but to use it for good. His foundation, Beast Philanthropy, runs food drives, builds homes, and even funds surgeries. It’s not just a side project, it’s central to his identity.
Court documents in 2024 revealed his businesses generated hundreds of millions, officially confirming his billionaire status. Yet on a podcast earlier this year, he casually noted he barely keeps any money for himself.

MrBeast isn’t following a blueprint; he’s making one. He built a fortune on kindness, and in doing so, redefined what modern success can look like: not how much you keep, but how much good you can do.
