Zeenat Aman says she once didn’t recognise Sabyasachi Mukherjee: I spluttered an apology

Sabyasachi is known to be among the top choices of the biggest Bollywood celebrities. Earlier this year, he also designed for Shah Rukh Khan for his debut at the Met Gala.

Zeenat shared pictures of herself on her Instagram handle on Friday as she posed wearing a red top from the celebrity designer. The 73-year-old actor penned a lengthy caption along, explaining the incident, which happened in 2022.

In her post, she recounted it was the birthday of her son, musician Zahaan Khan, when she ended up using the same elevator as the designer, who also expressed his admiration for the veteran actor.

“As we turned a corner towards the elevator, we could see its doors beginning to close. Just then, an elegant hand shot out, and the doors parted open smoothly for us. In the elevator carriage were two gentlemen, both immaculately coiffed and dressed. One was a bearded Indian man, and the other I suspect, was of caucasian descent. I smiled my thanks as we entered, and observed from their body language that they had recognised me,” the post began.

“Cara jabbed the button for the lobby, and the bearded man spoke. ‘Ma’am, I’m a big fan of yours, it’s an honour to meet you. I just want to say you have inspired me since I was a boy.’ I thanked him for his generous words and he explained to me that he was a designer.”

The “Don” recalled asking the name of the designer, on hearing which she apologised.

“As the elevator dinged to a halt, I asked him: ‘What is your name?’ Sabyasachi, he said with a demure smile, politely taking my hand as I spluttered an apology for not recognising him. The two men walked away, and Cara and I looked at each other before bursting into laughter at my gaffe.”

Zeenat will next star in “Bun Tikki”, alongside Shabana Azmi and Abhay Deol. The film is directed by Faraz Arif Ansari of “Sheer Qorma” fame. It is produced under Jio Studios and celebrated fashion designer Manish Malhotra’s banner, Stage 5 Production.

Sameera Reddy reveals getting trolled while suffering from postpartum depression: ‘The bhajiwala also didn’t spare me’

Actor Sameera Reddy has opened up about the time when she was suffering from postpartum depression and how she was trolled then. Speaking with Zoom, Sameera revealed that after she gained weight, following her pregnancy, trolling on social media platforms affected her.

Sameera Reddy tied the knot on January 21, 2014.

Sameera Reddy talks about postpartum depression

Sameera talked about the “rough time” she had to go through when her weight was 105 kg. She shared, “After I gave birth, I put on so much weight because I was pumped with hormones. I had a rough time emotionally dealing with postpartum at that time. In the beginning, I was affected because I myself was confused. I went from absolutely slim to 105 kg.”

Sameera was trolled by a vendor

She said she was even trolled by the vegetable vendor. “I remember being mad, depressed. People are not nice. If they want to say something, they say it on your face. I always say the bhajiwala (vegetable vendor) also did not spare me. Nobody will understand at that moment what you are going through. So I am not going to lie and say it didn’t hurt me,” added Sameera.

About Sameera’s personal life

Sameera tied the knot with Akshai Varde, an entrepreneur, on January 21, 2014, in a traditional Maharashtrian ceremony. The couple is parents to two children–son Hans and daughter Nyra. Sameera and Akshai welcomed Hans in 2015 and Nyra in 2019.

When Sameera opened up about her life

In 2022, Sameera shared a long post on Instagram talking about her postpartum depression. She had written, “I questioned myself so many times if I should have a second baby. I was a complete wreck after my firstborn. PPD hit me like a brick. I lost control of my body and my self-worth. And it took a toll on my marriage because I had no clue how to handle it. I had a rock of a husband, amazing in-laws, and my family that never let my hand go through it all, and that really helped.”

A part of her note also read, “So many women ask me how I knew I wanted another child. Honestly, everyone’s journey is different, and it’s hard to pin down what makes you sure. But I will tell you that the only thing I knew was that this little girl, my Nyra, showed me how fearless I am, and I knew it was my decision and I could handle it. Because of those sleepless nights, the body changes, and the adjustment to the firstborn is not easy, but it’s not difficult either.”

Sameera to make comeback to films after 13 years

The actor, who has been a part of many Bollywood films such as No Entry (2005), Race (2008) and De Dana Dan (2009), took a break from acting after her marriage. Sameera was seen in Tezz in 2012. She is set to return to acting with her comeback film, Chimni, a horror-thriller set for a 2025 release.

bitchy | Donald Trump didn’t slather makeup on his bruised & discolored hand this week

Donald Trump had some events and meetings yesterday in the White House, which I’ll get to in a moment. For most of his events, he either hid his right hand under the desk, or he placed his left hand over his right to hide the large bruise or whatever that is. On Monday, Trump didn’t slather off-color makeup on the bruise, like he was doing last week. Maybe his staff told him that the makeup was more noticeable than the bruise? Whatever it was, we can see the dark discoloration in a few shots from Getty (I’m including them below). My question: why isn’t this headline news? Every time Joe Biden stuttered or tripped, it was a banner headline in every newspaper, questioning Biden’s age and capability. Why not… just do the same thing with Trump, who is clearly unwell, who has tree-trunk cankles, and who rants constantly about weird sh-t like magnets?

As for the business of state… well, yesterday was a bad day. Trump announced that he will fire Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook, because he wants the Fed to lower interest rates. He’s also had a hate-on for Cook because she’s a Black woman. Trump is also threatening to send federal troops into other American cities, especially Chicago. Washington DC is apparently a ghost town right now, with restaurants, bars and any tourist-friendly business getting crushed by the military presence in the city. Trump said, in the Oval, that “A lot of people are saying, ‘Maybe we’d like a dictator.’”

Kerry Katona ‘didn’t fully grieve’ after George Kay’s death

Kerry Katona “didn’t fully grieve” after the death of her ex-husband George Kay.

Kerry Katona has opened up about the death of her ex-husband George Kay

The Atomic Kitten star was left devastated when her former partner – the father of her 11-year-old daughter DJ – died in 2019 after suffering a drug overdose at a hotel but she didn’t have time to process her emotions because she had to continue working to support her five children.

In her column for OK! magazine, Kerry heaped praised on fellow pop star Cheryl for fronting a new beauty campaign almost a year after the death of her ex Liam Payne, the father of her eight-year-old son Bear. Kerry wrote: “Cheryl has returned to work for the first time since Liam Payne’s death with a new Nivea campaign – and I’m glad to see her back.

“It can be tough knowing what to do after losing someone, I’ve been in the position of losing your child’s father and it’s awful.”

Kerry went on to add of her own experience: “I kept working through that time because I had four other children and no support, so I had no choice.

“But I do think that meant I didn’t fully grieve or deal with it as I should have, so it was the right decision for Cheryl to take a step back.”

Kerry previously admitted she felt a lot of “anger” after George’s death because his struggle with drugs left their daughter without a dad.

She told The Sun newspaper: “George is my baby’s daddy and she’s never, ever going to see him again and I’ve got so much anger towards him for that. I’m so angry.

“You become very, very selfish when you have an addiction. You don’t think about other people, and sometimes even your flesh and blood isn’t enough, and that’s really selfish.

“He’s going to be missing out on so many wonderful things, because that kid is one amazing kid …

“Then in the other respect … I’m not happy, I’m not glad, but I never want her to witness the things I had to witness with him … I don’t want DJ to go through that, I don’t want DJ to have to witness it, that’s why I know I will never touch another drug again in my life.”

Bryson Tiller Reveals The One Reason He Didn’t Sign To OVO

Weeks after hitting the stage during Drake‘s 2025 Wireless Festival headlining set, Bryson Tiller has opened up about his appreciation for the Toronto artist, his musical influence, and why he was never able to make things official with Drizzy’s October’s Very Own label.

During a recent sit-down on New Rory & MAL, the “Exchange” artist revealed that the only reason he didn’t sign to OVO was because Drake didn’t call him back in time before he felt pressured into signing with his label, RCA. According to the crooner, RCA was aware of his interest in signing to Drake’s label and continued to fly him around the country in an effort to keep them from crossing paths.

“OVO is really in my blood for real,” Tiller shared. “I really have studied his catalog. I mean, it’s a couple people that I really consider huge strands of my musical DNA, and Drake is one of them.”

He then recalls being flown from LA to Miami and then to New York, where he was asked to sign to RCA before being able to contact Drake about a potential deal. This inspired him to listen to Drake’s 2009 track “The Calm” and reach out one more time.

“I sent him one last text, just to see, like, ‘Yo, man. I don’t know what to do, blah, blah, blah,’ and he never hit me back. And I know he’s a busy, super busy dude, so not saying he didn’t want me to sign or whatever, but at that moment, I got a kid, and I got people back home looking at me like, ‘Is he gon’ do it? Is he gon’ make it?’ So I had to go with the most sure shot.”

Co-host Rory then suggests Drake’s superstar-focus at the time would’ve likely taken his attention away from building up new talent. This is one reason he believes The Weeknd chose not to sign to OVO, adding that he possibly thought he, “could be just as big as you, so why would I sign to you?”

For Tiller, however, that wasn’t the case, confirming that superstardom has never been his goal. “I love making people happy with music and giving them moments and stuff, but as far as being on stage and being the most famous dude and everybody recognizing me, I just don’t care about that type of sh*t.”

Hilton Head With My Dad Was The Healing I Didn’t Expect

Hilton Head reminded me that legacy isn’t distant. It’s here, now, in every step we take and in every piece of air you and I are beyond blessed to breathe. So when I went back home, I was grateful, not just for the experience, but for the memories and the shared moments. Most importantly, I carried home with me the ability to hold space not just for myself, but for my father, for those who came before us, and for everyone still to come. More than anything, this trip reminded me of the gift of time. In the words of acclaimed author Alice Walker, “Time moves slowly, but passes quickly.”
