Bhojpuri superstar Khesari Lal Yadav is no stranger to controversy, and a year ago, he found himself in the middle of one after a workout video featuring him and actress Akanksha Puri went viral. The video, which showed the two actors working out together in a gym, was heavily criticized by social media users, who deemed it obscene. The video stirred up a storm, with many questioning the propriety of the content, especially considering the closeness between Khesari and Akanksha.

Now, with the controversy resurfacing, Khesari has finally addressed the issue. In a recent interview, Khesari Lal Yadav explained that it was an artistic move for him and insisted that the idea for the video wasn’t his. He said, “It was an art, and I did it accordingly. It wasn’t my idea.” Khesari went on to clarify that the video had been edited with a song and shared by Akanksha, but he hadn’t posted it himself.

“Someone then added a song to it, which Akanksha shared. I didn’t even share that video. I realize that was wrong. This is not right for society. But later I understood and will not do it again.” Khesari also acknowledged that his wife was understandably upset when she saw the video. He admitted that she was furious and very upset after watching it, saying, “She should have been upset. It was an objectionable video.”

The workout video wasn’t the only source of speculation about the relationship between Khesari Lal Yadav and Akanksha Puri. Over the years, there have been many rumors surrounding the two, with some reports suggesting that they were involved in a romantic affair. In a past interview, Akanksha herself had addressed these rumors, describing Khesari as someone who was very special to her, emphasizing that their relationship was more than friendship.

Heels With Socks: The Controversial Combo Becoming Winter’s Most Comfortable Trend

Major fashion houses—including Miu Miu, Prada, Brunello Cucinelli, Ganni, and Proenza Schouler—have all shown heels with socks in their collections this past year. Some chose to match practical gray stockings with sensible heels for a kind of avant-garde granny effect. Louis Vuitton went with socks in ribbed fabric that hit mid-thigh and lengthened the leg, while Rabanne, Marni, and Moschino went for a romantic take with socks in shiny fabrics. Chanel even snuck into the trend with a shoe that’s a hybrid between a sock and heel.

In short, the combination of high heels with socks embodies what fashion is truly all about: expressing yourself, having fun, and standing out by showing off. The best part about this trend is that you can adapt it to your own personal style—any pairing of socks with heels will do.

Louis Tomlinson says he will “forever despise” Logan Paul over controversial Liam Payne interview

Louis Tomlinson has said that he will “forever despise” Logan Paul over his divisive interview with Liam Payne.

Payne appeared on YouTuber Paul’s Impaulsive series in June 2022 and made headlines for a slew of controversial comments about his time in One Direction, including claiming that one of his bandmates had thrown him “up a wall” during an argument.

He also said that there were “many reasons why I dislike Zayn [Malik]”, and that Simon Cowell formed the group around him as the lead member. His comments were met with criticism, with Payne accused of being “arrogant”.

A year after appearing on the podcast, Payne apologised for his words, saying it was “hard for me to watch back” and that he hadn’t realised how much “impact” his words would have. He also revealed that he had spent 100 days in rehab after the interview.

Payne passed away in October 2024 after falling from the third floor of a hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Following his death, the interview recirculated, with fans looking at his words in a new light, considering his struggles with his mental health.

Now, his former bandmate Tomlinson has addressed the podcast. Speaking in a new interview with the Independent, he said: “I fucking forever despise [Logan Paul], horrible, horrible little fucker.”

He added, “I think that’s also the problem with some of this new ‘media’… I would like to think most journalists,” before correcting himself and saying, “some journalists have a duty of care.”

Tomlinson went on to clarify Payne’s claim that he was the lead member of the group, saying it was true. “It was, definitely,” he says. “It was definitely a role that was assigned to him. That is the truth.”

Addressing the podcast in 2023, Payne said that his words had come from “self-protection”, but that “the rest of the boys really stuck by me when I needed them most, they kinda came to the rescue”.

“Even Zayn, as well,” he added, “which is why I did send him a little thank you online. It came across really big-headed didn’t it?”

He added at the time: “I think, for me, a lot of what I said just came from the wrong place. I was so angry at what was going on around me. Instead of taking a look inwards, I decided to look outwards at everybody else.

“I just took it out on everybody else, which is just wrong, really, and my own frustrations with my own career and where I landed – I took shots at everybody else and that was wrong so I just wanna apologise for that in the first instance.”

Payne’s former bandmates – Tomlinson, Malik, Harry Styles and Niall Horan – all paid tribute to Payne in a statement following his death, while each band member also took to their social media accounts to pay their respects.

Tomlinson has recently addressed Payne’s death and said it was “impossibly difficult for him to deal with”.

Elsewhere, Tomlinson and Malik recently announced that they are set to reunite for a new Netflix documentary series.

The former also recently announced his third studio album ‘How Did I Get Here?’, which will be released on January 23 and you can pre-order here along with a 2026 arena tour which will see him play around the UK and Europe next year. You can see all the dates here, while tickets go on general sale on Friday (October 10) here.

This Is 2025’s Most Controversial Elegant Shoe Trend

by jummy84 October 15, 2025

When I think about shoe trends over the past decade or so, few come to mind that are more divisive than wedges. If you’re thinking of the wedge sneakers and chunky wedges of the 2010s, those are not the wedge-heel shoes of today. Thanks to brands like Toteme, Fendi, and Alaïa, wedge heels are back, and the 2025 version is far more elegant than previous iterations.

The wedges of 2025 are streamlined and sculptural. They typically have a low heel and a pointed toe. Most are backless mules or slingbacks, although you will see pumps here and there. If you’re looking for an IRL example, Rose Byrne was just spotted in NYC wearing a pair of black mules that exemplify the 2025 take on the trend. The angular, backless mules have a low heel and a pointed toe and are as elegant as a shoes get, if you ask me.

If you’re even more intrigued than you were when you clicked in, keep scrolling to see the aforementioned Rose Byrne look along with mules on the streets of the spring/summer 2026 fashion weeks. Lastly, I rounded up the chicest wedge-heel shoes of 2025—you’re welcome.
