Rajesh Khanna is the bona fide superstar of Indian cinema. At the peak of his career, he made many superhit and blockbuster movies. His stardom was unimaginable, and a journalist once described it. Keep scrolling for more.

Khanna redefined the romance genre in the Hindi film industry. Bollywood is defined by different eras; his era was romance, great songs, and superb dialogues. Female fans went crazy over him, sending marriage proposals and everything. His on-screen charisma and Kishore Kumar’s soulful voice created magic together. People often spoke and wrote about his immense stardom in tabloids and videos. A BBC journalist also talked about his stardom and shared interesting details.

A BBC Journalist Once Compared Rajesh Khanna to Napoleon

According to the Bollywood Shadis report, several years ago, Jack Pizzey, a BBC journalist, documented Rajesh Khanna’s life, and the documentary is called Bombay Superstar. The documentary covered them all, from his relationship with Dimple Kapadia to his work life and even his downfall. Pizzey claimed veteran filmmaker Hrishikesh Mukherjee rewrote dialogues while waiting for Kaka on the sets.

He said, “The biggest star should be arriving at this studio. The superstar is Rajesh Khanna. He has the charisma of Rudolph Valentino, the arrogance of Napoleon, and he’s late. There’s nothing the director can do about it. He rewrites, yet again, the lines that his star should be speaking by now. He sweats and waits. Everyone is sweating and getting ready, and waiting.”

The BBC journalist continued, “The star lives in an impregnable dreamhouse. Getting in to interview Rajesh is like trying to get an audience with royalty. Only if a king says, ‘Come to my palace at 3’, he probably means it.” Jack reportedly tried interviewing Kaka and wound up in his house, only to be turned away from the gates.

Jack shared how he had once waited five days for Rajesh Khanna, an experience that eventually humbled him. He also recalled accompanying the star to a shoot in Kashmir, where Khanna kept the crew waiting even longer. In addition, the veteran actor reportedly became restless over the failure of his last five films.

Dubai’s Princess Sheikha Mahra Debuts Jaw-Dropping Engagement Ring From French Montana

French Montana has given his beloved an unforgettable gift.

Following news that the rapper (real name Karim Kharbouch) is engaged to Dubai princess Sheikha Mahra Mohammed Rashed Al Maktoum, the couple showed off the massive engagement ring Sheikha received.

The ring boasts a huge, emerald cut diamond bordered by a ring of smaller diamonds embedded into the band. Sheikha Mahra and French showed off her new bling on Instagram August 29, captioning the post with a white heart and sparkle emoji.

The couple’s engagement was confirmed by French’s rep to TMZ on August 27. The “Unforgettable” rapper popped the question to the royal family member during Paris Fashion Week in June, shortly after he walked the runway for the 3.Paradis Ready to Wear Spring/Summer 2026 show, according to the outlet.

French and Sheikha Mahra, 31, were first connected in October 2024, when Sheikha Mahra shared photos giving the 41-year-old a tour of Dubai. It wasn’t until Paris Fashion Week, however, that the couple confirmed their romance after stepping out hand in hand in the City of Lights.

A French Girl’s Autumn 2025 Capsule Wardrobe

As a devoted sun seeker, I always feel a pang around this time of year as the air begins to cool. But if anything can soften the blow of parting with my favourite summer pieces, it’s the freedom that comes with building autumn outfits and the endless opportunities to experiment with fabric, silhouette and proportion.

Having studied French style for two decades, I’ve come to recognise the staples most often favoured by French women, along with the subtle seasonal updates worth noting. As with most seasons, a French woman’s autumn capsule wardrobe is made up of carefully chosen items. It’s versatile, streamlined and cut to embody the effortless look the French are known for.

Although the core capsule remains steadfast with seasonal classics (a blazer, column silhouettes and anti-trend footwear, for example), there are a few seasonal updates that may appear each autumn, should French women choose to adopt them. This season, I’ve witnessed the popularity of capri pants first-hand, and the longer, ankle-skimming iteration is an autumnal approach to the trouser trend I know we’ll continue to see through to autumn, for example.

French biochemist shares the ‘easiest way to reduce blood sugar spikes’: Do this simple 5–10 minute exercise after meals | Health

Managing blood sugar levels can be a daily challenge, especially for people with diabetes or those at risk. Jessie Inchauspé, French biochemist and New York Times bestselling author, shares in her August 25 Instagram post how simple techniques like ‘calf raises’ can help reduce blood sugar spikes and support better glucose control.

Simple calf raises help lower blood sugar spikes after meals, says Biochemist.

How to do calf raises to lower glucose

“Just eaten a donut or a big bowl of pasta? Try this: Feet on the ground, lift your heels up and down. This makes your soleus muscle (hiding in your calf) contract, helping soak up the glucose from your bloodstream. And boom, smaller glucose spike,” Jessie wrote in the caption.

In a video, Jessie explains, “The soluup pushup or the calf raise, imagine you’re at your desk, at work, or at school, wherever you’ve eaten something really high in carbs. Here is the easiest and most discreet way you can lower the glucose spike at that meal. You simply put your feet on the ground and go up and down, keeping your shoes on, for 5–10 minutes.”

Jessie shares the benefits of this exercise: “Your calves contain a muscle called the soleus, which studies have shown is especially good at soaking up glucose from the bloodstream after we eat.”

What are the benefits

Quoting the study, she explains, “The study, called ‘A Potent Physiological Method to Magnify and Sustain Cellulose Oxidative Metabolism Improves Glucose and Lipid Regulation,’ asked participants to do calf pushups or raises for five hours. That’s a lot, of course, but here’s what they found: five hours of calf raises reduced post-meal glucose spikes by 52% and lowered extra insulin levels by 60%.”

She clarifies, “We don’t have to do this for 5 hours. Even doing 10 minutes can have a strong impact. In my own test, I compared a pain au chocolat with and without 10 minutes of calf raises. The glucose spike was much smaller with the exercise, and it’s very discreet. It’s very, very easy. I recommend you test this out.”

Italian and French Women are Opting for these Minimalist Staples

f you’re anything like me, your social feed has been completely taken over by sun-drenched snaps from the Amalfi Coast to the streets of Saint-Tropez, with content creators soaking in the last few moments of summer.. While I’m a fan of a good pasta pic or sunset boat selfie, it’s the fashion that really has me bookmarking every other post. Of course, I’m talking about those classic Euro Summer outfits.

While the internet might have you thinking that head-to-toe designer looks are the Euro summer dress code, the stylish women I spotted in Paris and Positano are telling a very different story. Spoiler: it’s not about flashy logos or trendy gimmicks. Instead, European women are opting for tried-and-true staples like linen sets and silk scarves to carry them through the end of the summer. Below, shop all of the Euro summer staples European women are actually wearing this season.

Slip Skirts

Light, fluid, and endlessly versatile. Worn with tanks or oversized shirts, slip skirts are a go-to for effortless dressing. French and Italian women lean into neutral shades or soft pastels for an easy, polished vibe.

Linen Sets

Matching linen sets are the low-effort, high-impact uniform of the season. Think boxy tops, drawstring shorts, earthy tones. Breezy, chic, and made for long, hot days on the Mediterranean coast.

Poplin Button-Downs

Worn over swimsuits or half-tucked into trousers, it’s clear poplin button-downs are the ultimate summer layer. Classic white is everywhere, but soft blue is a close second. European women are also having fun with colorful striped button-downs, too.

Crochet Beachwear

Part cover-up, part statement. Crochet dresses, skirts, and tops are everywhere on the sand (or on super-yachts!) this summer. Neutral tones keep it classic, while open weaves give just the right peek of swimwear underneath.

Simple Bikinis

Minimal triangle bikinis are the swimwear of choice. No prints, no frills—just sleek shapes in timeless colors like black, red, or white. This sleek, minimalist bikini style is often paired with the hat of the season—oversize bucket hats.
