Yeah, we have all been there. But here is the thing. India’s wine scene is ready to steal the show, and it is so much more than a quick pit stop. From buzzing festivals to quiet, hidden escapes, there are vineyard destinations that make every sip feel like a story. Forget the lazy local searches. It is time to plan a proper grape escape. We are talking Sula, Grover Zampa, Fratelli, York, and Four Seasons – five vineyards that promise stunning views, epic wines, and experiences that range from laid-back to full-on luxe. Pack your weekend bag, leave the stress behind, and get ready to sip, savour, and soak it all in.

Sula Vineyards (Nashik, Maharashtra)

Sula is the OG of Indian wine and the reason Nashik even shows up on wine maps. Imagine rolling green vineyards, tasting rooms buzzing with energy, and a vibe that makes you feel instantly festive. SulaFest is a feast for the senses with music, food, and endless wine tasting that can keep a weekend buzzing. Try the Sula Rasa for smooth red notes or the Dindori Reserve for something a little bolder. Ideal for first-timers, friend groups, and anyone who wants to mix a little tipsy fun with serious Instagram moments. The views are endless, and the energy is contagious.

Grover Zampa Vineyards (Nandi Hills, Karnataka)

Perched in Nandi Hills, Grover Zampa is a calm retreat from the city chaos. It feels like a European escape with serene landscapes and well-tended vineyards. The estate leans on French techniques, producing wines that can impress even the most picky palate. Wander their organised wine trails, sip on La Réserve reds or whites, and take in the cool breeze with those stunning hill views. This is for the wine enthusiasts who like their sips serious, their weekends quiet, and their surroundings picturesque. The experience is refined, soothing, and unforgettable.

Fratelli Vineyards (Solapur, Maharashtra)

Fratelli is intimate, authentic, and quietly spectacular. A collaboration between two Indian families and one Italian family, the estate lives up to its name, which means Brothers in Italian. Remote and charming, Fratelli offers a true wine retreat where you can explore the underground barrel cellar and enjoy single-estate wines like Sette. Staying on the property is an immersive experience, giving you time to walk through the vines, learn about the craft, and sip wines that taste like the effort behind them. Perfect for those who want a quiet, focused escape from the crowd.

York Winery (Nashik, Maharashtra)

York Winery is the boutique alternative to Sula, family-run and effortlessly charming. Sitting near Gangapur Dam near Nashik, it offers sunset views that make every sip taste better. The York Arros and Sauvignon Blanc are crowd favourites and perfect for a relaxed afternoon tasting. Think romantic dates, chilled weekends, or quiet wine appreciation with a hint of nature’s backdrop. It is small-scale, personal, and exactly the kind of vineyard where the pace slows, and the wine speaks.

Four Seasons Vineyards (Sahyadri Valley, Maharashtra)

Luxury meets wine at Four Seasons. With chateau-style architecture, sprawling vineyards, and grand landscapes, this estate is made for indulgence. Stay in the manor, explore vineyards with modern wine-making technology, and sample reserve wines that feel almost cinematic. Every detail focuses on quality and comfort. This is for those who want a weekend of elegance, learning, and, of course, exceptional wine. Four Seasons elevates the vineyard experience into a mini escape of sophistication and relaxation.

From vibrant festivals to serene escapes and grand estates, these five vineyards have a flavour and vibe for every kind of wine lover. Skip the local options and plan a proper getaway. Pack curiosity, a weekend bag, and your best wine-loving friends. India’s vineyards prove that wine is about more than drinking. It is about the view, the craft, the taste, and the joy of sipping while making memories. Cheers to your next grape escape.

Zelda Williams Tells Fans to “Stop Sending AI Videos” of Her Father, Robin

by jummy84
written by jummy84

In the past, Zelda Williams has had no problem defending her father, the late, great Robin Williams. But after putting Eric Trump in his place back in 2020, the actress and director has a new target: AI.

In a series of Instagram Stories on Monday, Williams urged the internet to “stop sending me AI videos of dad.” She continued, saying she’s “seen way worse” from trolls and described the process as a “waste of time and energy,” adding, “Believe me, it’s not what he’d want.”

She went on to say that these same people are condensing people’s very lives and legacies simply so they can “churn out horrible TikTok slop puppetering.” Those videos, Williams added, can’t be considered art whatsoever but are rather “disgusting, over-processed hotdogs [sic]” made from people’s unrelated imagery/likenesses. In turn, online users are only inundated with this “slop” because some folks are “hoping they’ll give you a little thumbs up.”

She went on to say that these same people are reducing entire lives and legacies just to “churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering.” Those videos, Williams added, can’t be considered art whatsoever but are rather “disgusting, over-processed hotdogs [sic]” made from people’s unrelated imagery/likenesses. In turn, online users are only flooded with this “slop” because some folks are “hoping they’ll give you a little thumbs up.”

As if that wasn’t enough, Zelda Williams delivered this undeniable truth bomb: AI isn’t “the future,” it’s simply “recycling and regurgitating the past.” And for the grand finale, she threw in a conversation-ending haymaker:

“You are taking in The Human Centipede of content, and from the very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.”

If we could for a moment, GOTDAMN.

But more seriously, even a tertiary glance at TikTok and similar platforms will reveal dozens and dozens of AI-generated Robin Williams videos/clips. None of them are worth linking to or referencing directly, but all of them are guilty of either infringing on various IP and trademarks as well as being generally obtuse regarding the ideas and opinions of a man they’d never known let alone ever met. It’s painful as fans of Williams to see his image be needlessly manipulated, especially when the work he left beyond already checked so many boxes in terms of emotional content and genre offerings.

Zelda Williams previously struck back at AI during 2023’s SAG-AFTRA strike. In response to people at the time having already used Robin Williams’ voice for various AI-generated media, Zelda said that while she found that “personally disturbing…the ramifications go far beyond my own feelings.” She went on to declare that “living actors deserve a chance to create characters with their choices.”

After making a style statement at Paris Fashion Week, Ananya Panday shared a fan moment with Hollywood star Pedro Pascal. However, what has grabbed everyone’s attention on social media isn’t just the meeting, it’s Pedro’s eye-catching bag too.

Ananya Panday went to Paris to attend Paris Fashion Week.

Ananya meets Pedro Pascal

On the closing day of the Paris Fashion Week, Chanel hosted the anticipated debut collection of its new artistic director, Matthieu Blazy.

The fashion show was attended by 2300 guests which included names such as Ananya, Sofia Coppola, Tilda Swinton, Penelope Cruz, Nicole Kidman, Pedro Pascal, Margot Robbie, Carrie Coon and Marion Cotillard. Ananya is the French luxury brand’s Indian brand ambassador.

Multiple photos of Ananya meeting Pedro have been making rounds on social media. The duo can be seen posing for pictures with radiant smiles, and beyond the cameras, they were also spotted sharing a lively conversation.

Social media lit up seeing the duo together, with many fans zooming in on Pedro’s stylish bag – prompting comparisons to Joey’s purse from an episode of the hit show Friends.

One wrote, “Very happy for Ananya…you go girl… After all the trolls and questioning her talent she proved her haters wrong and now reaching heights. Much love”, with another sharing, “Joey Was Right… It’s a fashion for men too.”

“That’s Joey’s bag,” one noted, with one saying, “Pedro Pascal with Joey’s purse”.

“Seeing ananya with pedro wasn’t on my bingo card,” one commented. Another shared, “She is lucky to meet pedro pascal…wow”.

“The world is finally ready for Rachel’s fashion sense,” one wrote, with one cheering for Ananya, “Aniee Poo for the win.”

In Paris, Ananya also attended the BoF 500 Gala at the Shangri-La Hotel in Paris, on the sidelines of the Paris Fashion Week Spring-Summer 2026, on October 4.

Ananya’s recent work

Ananya was last seen in the historical drama Kesari Chapter 2: The Untold Story of Jallianwala Bagh, alongside Akshay Kumar and R. Madhavan, directed by Karan Singh Tyagi. The film received praise from both fans and critics.

She has now completed filming Tu Meri Main Tera, Main Tera Tu Meri, her second collaboration with Kartik Aaryan after their hit film Pati Patni Aur Woh. Directed by Sameer Vidhwans (Satyaprem Ki Katha) and produced under Karan Johar’s Dharma Entertainment, the film also stars Neena Gupta and Jackie Shroff, and is slated for a release later this year. Ananya is set to appear in the romantic drama Chand Mera Dil, opposite Lakshya, and will return for Call Me Bae Season 2.

Meanwhile, Pedro recent starred in Marvel’s The Fantastic Four: First Steps and Celine Song’s The Materialists.

Watch Dua Lipa cover Ariana Grande’s ‘One Last Time’ at ‘Radical Optimism’ tour stop in Miami

by jummy84
written by jummy84

Dua Lipa covered Ariana Grande‘s ‘One Last Time‘ over the weekend – check out footage below.

  • READ MORE: Dua Lipa – ‘Radical Optimism’ review: summery but slight psych-pop

The singer has been making a habit of covering a song from a local artist at every show on her current ‘Radical Optimism’ World Tour – which kicked off its North American leg at the start of this month.

Saturday night (September 27), saw Lipa play Miami’s Kaseya Center, marking her return to the city after first opening her ‘Future Nostalgia’ tour there in 2022. To mark the occasion, she took on fellow pop star Grande’s track, taken from 2014’s ‘My Everything‘.

Back in 2018, the two joined forces on a track titled ‘Bad To You’, which was ultimately leaked and never officially released. Lipa later praised Wicked star Grande, but explained the collab never got off the ground because of their schedules.

“I love Ari, I love everything she does,” she said at the time. “But the timing wasn’t quite right.” She added that their crammed calendars meant neither singer was able to go back and finish their respective parts.

After clips of her take on ‘One Last Time’ circulated, many were quick to note Lipa seemed to have altered the song to fit her voice, singing the track in a lower register than Grande’s – you can check out footage below.

The tour has also seen big-name artists join Lipa for versions of their own songs. So far, these have included Nile Rodgers for ‘Le Freak‘ in New York City, Chaka Khan for ‘Ain’t Nobody’ in Chicago, Jamiroquai for ‘Virtual Insanity’ in London, Neil Finn for ‘Don’t Dream It’s Over’ in Auckland, and Kevin Parker for ‘The Less I Know The Better’ in Sydney.

Her two Wembley shows in June later became the subject of a mini-documentary titled Dua Lipa – The Beat Before (Wembley Stadium), which chronicled behind-the-scenes footage and fan vox-pops from the gigs.

In other Dua Lipa-related news, both she and her talent agency recently responded to claims she sacked her agent after he reportedly signed a letter calling for Kneecap to be removed from the Glastonbury line-up.

“It is always Free Palestine,” she wrote. “But exploiting a global tragedy in order to sell newspapers is something I find deeply troubling.”

Lipa has long been outspoken about Palestine. In 2021, she criticised an ad in the New York Times that labelled her, as well as models Bella and Gigi Hadid – both half-Palestinian – as Antisemitic, and, in 2023, was one of a number of celebrities to sign a letter to then-US President Joe Biden calling for a ceasefire in Gaza.

Last May, she shared her support for the #AllEyesOnRafah campaign in a bid to garner support for people living in cramped refugee camps in the city without humanitarian aid. She wrote on her Instagram Stories, “Burning children alive can never be justified. The whole world is mobilising to stop the Israeli genocide. Please show your solidarity with Gaza. #AllEyesOnRafah.”

A month later, she said she was “willing” to “be met with a backlash” over her comments, describing them as being “for the greater good”.

She’s also pressured Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer to take action, being one of over 300 figures to sign Choose Love’s open letter urging him to “end the UK’s complicity in the horrors in Gaza”. Following his response, the non-governmental organisation hit back, saying, “We need actions not words for the children of Gaza.”

Fans React After NBA YoungBoy’s Chicago Tour Stop Is Canceled

NBA YoungBoy has been killing shows back-to-back on his ‘Make Slime Great Again’ tour. He’s been moving city to city without missing a beat until his stop in Chicago. After the United Center canceled his scheduled show, fans were left upset and debating online.

The United Center Cancels NBA YoungBoy’s Chicago Show

On Monday, the United Center left many NBA YoungBoy fans distraught after canceling his Chicago stop at the last minute. In their statement, they announced: “The United Center has made the decision to cancel the NBA YoungBoy show scheduled for Wednesday, September 24, in Chicago. If you purchased through Ticketmaster, refunds will be issued automatically. If you purchased from a third-party reseller, please reach out to your point of purchase.”

Fans immediately questioned the decision, debating whether the cancellation came from the venue or from YoungBoy himself. Speaking on behalf of her son, Mama Sherhonda addressed the situation in an Instagram video. She reassured fans that NBA YoungBoy loves Chicago and was excited to “hit his dancey dancey” with them. Sherhonda explained the cancellation was beyond his control, saying the United Center made the call for safety reasons.

If y’all recall, NBA YoungBoy has had two major public beefs with iconic Chicago rappers Lil Durk and the late King Von. Their feud spilled heavily into music, with diss tracks traded back and forth. Because of this history, there was seemingly a general unease about YoungBoy performing in Chicago and the possibility of reignited feuds. 

Social Media Reacts 

Many of the rapper’s fans gathered online to share reactions after learning the Chicago show had been canceled. Some agreed that, given NBA YoungBoy’s past beef with Chicago artists, canceling the show was probably the best decision. Others argued the venue should not have booked him at all, saying it wasted fans’ time and raised false expectations.

Instagram user wrote @therealerien_ wrote, “That wasn’t rejection that was protection. God is good.” 

@rikamissvip added, “I get he has fans there as well, but honestly it’s best for EVERYONE’s safety!”

While @precioussuniquee wrote, “Oh basically he got the city clutching they pearls 😂😂😂”

@shibutaggresive2 wrote, “It had every thing involving him he knows damn well he can’t come to Chicago after dissing Durk and Von … They cancelled the show to protect your SON Lady are you serious”

@ms.colebaby added, “It’s sad this new generation of niggas be out here beefing over stupid shit.. it’s not fair to his fans.”

@niyalanaeeee wrote, “it’s ok yall can come to the louisiana show we gone show yall how to rock out 🤣”

@simply_ashanti3 wrote,”This decision might’ve save a lot of lives and protected a lot of people”

@cravee.slim added, “But knowing who he is they shouldn’t have booked him there in the first place and then cancel last minute. Got his real fans all mad, that’s messed up tbh”

While @richgal.yanna wrote, “People saying they said they didn’t want him to perform that song 😂 he should’ve been like NWA”

King Von’s Sister Kayla B Speaks Out 

Following the cancellation, Kayla B took to TikTok with the caption “RIP Von Free Durk.” She explained she was waiting for NBA YoungBoy’s show to be canceled, noting how difficult it is for Chicago artists to perform.

“When it’s one of our guys in Chicago, they cancel it. Durk had to start pushing peace just to perform again. At the end of the day, people wanted to come here being funny like, ‘I’m in your city, aha. But look now, ahaha, you can’t even do your show.’”

Parag Tyagi Dismisses Rumors Around Shefali Jariwala’s Death: ‘Stop Spreading Misinformation’

by jummy84
written by jummy84

The sudden death of actor Shefali Jariwala in June this year left fans and the entertainment industry in shock. Speculations quickly surfaced, suggesting that the 42-year-old had died after consuming anti-ageing medication on an empty stomach. Now, her husband, actor Parag Tyagi, has spoken out to address these rumors and clarify the events surrounding her death.

In a heartfelt podcast uploaded to their joint YouTube channel, Shefali Parag Tyagi, Parag called the circulating information “half-baked” and urged people to stop spreading misinformation.

Parag Tyagi Clarifies Rumours 

“This is half-baked information,” Parag said. “Which of these were anti-ageing medicines? Shefali didn’t like taking multivitamin tablets daily because she would forget. So instead, she opted for IV drips once a month. These included multivitamins, Vitamin C, collagen, and glutathione, which is one of the best antioxidants. That’s it—nothing harmful, nothing extreme.”

Parag also addressed the claims that Shefali was fasting on the day she passed away. “Yes, she was fasting that day, but it’s being misrepresented,” he explained. “She performed pooja, then had food and rested. She ate again later. It wasn’t like she starved the whole day. People are jumping to conclusions without knowing the full story.”

He emphasized that Shefali believed in discipline and self-care rather than depending on extreme beauty treatments. “She controlled her diet, yes, but she never deprived herself. Sundays were for ice cream or Chinese food. She lived a very balanced life,” he said.

About Shefali Jariwala 

Shefali Jariwala, who gained fame from the early 2000s remix hit Kaanta Laga, died on June 27 at the age of 42. She was rushed to Bellevue Multispeciality Hospital by Parag but was declared dead on arrival. While many reports claimed she died of cardiac arrest, the official cause of death remains unclear. Following the autopsy, police stated that the cause was “reserved,” pending further medical analysis.

Over the years, Shefali expanded her presence in the entertainment industry, participating in several television reality shows such as Nach Baliye and Bigg Boss 13. Her vibrant personality and fitness-focused lifestyle won her a loyal fan base.

Parag expressed frustration over the spread of false stories, especially regarding her supposed health habits. “I don’t know where this fasting story came from. People just picked it up and spread it without verifying. I urge everyone—please find out the truth before talking. It’s hurtful and disrespectful to her memory,” he pleaded.

As the final word, Parag stressed that the speculations around anti-ageing treatments and fasting were completely out of context. He appealed for sensitivity and respect, not just for Shefali but for all families who deal with grief in the public eye.

SJ Suryah can’t stop laughing as he watches this song from his film Kushi ft. Vijay; fans say he looks ‘embarrassed’

Published on: Sept 21, 2025 02:59 pm IST

SJ Suryah directed the 2000 Tamil film Kushi which starred Vijay and Jyotika in lead roles. It will be re-released in theatres on 25 September. 

Actor-director SJ Suryah held a press conference in Chennai on Saturday ahead of the re-release of his 2000 film Kushi. The film, starring Vijay and Jyotika in lead roles, will be re-released in theatres 25 years later. At the press meet, a video captured by a paparazzo shows Suryah laughing as a song from his film plays on-screen.

SJ Suryah’s Kushi starred Vijay and Jyotika in lead roles. It was released 25 years ago.

SJ Suryah can’t stop laughing at Kushi song

Suryah might have directed Kushi 25 years ago, but it looks like even he couldn’t control his laughter as the song Kattipudi Kattipudida played on-screen. A video shot by a paparazzo shows him smiling widely first before he starts laughing and covers his eyes as the person next to him laughs louder. The person sitting on the other side of him also seemingly said something about the song, making him laugh.

While the actor-director seemed to have taken it in his stride, fans thought Suryah looked ‘embarrassed’ by the song. One person re-sharing the video on X (formerly Twitter) wrote, “#SJSuryah’s reaction while watching Kattipudi song at yesterday’s press meet. He himself feels embarrassed.” Another joked, “He is feeling shy.” A fan even commented, “Pls delete kattipudu song from this movie. It’s so discomfort.”

SJ Suryah on the song

Kattipudi Kattipudida is a special number picturised on Vijay and Mumtaj. Talking to the press about it, Suryah said, “A maker cannot enjoy a film like the audience would, because they are watching it freshly. This is the first time I’ve seen this song as an audience member in years. Yes, it is a glamorous song, but the melody composed by Deva is sweet.” He even proceeded to sing a few lines for the press, calling the lyrics ‘poetic’.

Kushi was a hit when it was released in theatres in 2000 with Vijay and Jyotika in lead roles. Suryah shot the film’s Telugu version with the same title with Pawan Kalyan and Bhumika Chawla, which was released a year later. The Tamil version will now be re-released in theatres on 25 September. Vijay will soon be seen in Jana Nayagan, which is releasing in theatres for Pongal 2026.

Surgeon warns ‘stop scrolling till 2 AM’; shares how poor sleep silently harms your body in ways you never imagined

by jummy84
written by jummy84

Late-night scrolling has become a common habit in today’s digital age, but staying up till 2 AM can do more than just leave you with dark circles. Dr. Dinesh Thakur, Bariatric and Metabolic Surgeon, Delhi, shares in his September 15 Instagram post how sleep deprivation affects overall health, highlighting why prioritising proper rest is essential for long-term wellbeing. (Also read: AIIMS orthopaedic surgeon lists 5 common bone and joint problems you shouldn’t ignore; shares simple management tips )

Dr. Dinesh highlights the detrimental effects of late-night habits, including weight gain, hormonal imbalance, and increased diabetes risk.(Pexels)

“All of you will NEVER sleep late again after knowing this…Sleeping late isn’t just about dark circles, it silently damages your health in ways you never imagined,” Dr. Dinesh wrote in the caption. Let’s take a look at the ways late-night habits impact your body:

Effects of late-night scrolling on health

1. Weight gain: Staying up late disrupts hunger hormones, triggering junk food cravings and belly fat accumulation.

2. Hormonal imbalance: Poor sleep slows metabolism and raises stress hormones like cortisol.

3. Diabetes risk: Irregular sleep affects insulin sensitivity, increasing diabetes risk.

4. Heart health: Consistently late nights elevate blood pressure and strain the heart.

5. Mental health: Anxiety, irritability, and brain fog can result from late-night habits.

6. Chronic fatigue: No amount of coffee can compensate for a lack of deep, restorative sleep.

“Stop scrolling till 2 AM. Start sleeping on time, and you’ll notice better weight control, energy, and overall health,” concludes Dr. Dinesh.

What science says

According to a June 15, 2022, study published by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, getting less than 7–8 hours of sleep per night can significantly impact various aspects of health. The study highlights that sleep deprivation can weaken the immune system, increase the risk of chronic conditions such as heart disease, high blood pressure, obesity, and stroke, and impair cognitive functions like attention and memory.

Jane Fonda Says ‘I Can’t Stop Crying,’ & More

by jummy84
written by jummy84

Tributes are pouring in for Robert Redford, the great actor, director, and Sundance Film Festival founder who died September 16 at the age of 89. One of the most moving comes from his costar Jane Fonda, who appeared in five movies with him: 1960’s “Tall Story” (Redford’s first movie — he went uncredited), 1966’s “The Chase,” 1967’s “Barefoot in the Park,” 1979’s “The Electric Horseman,” and 2017’s “Our Souls at Night.”

In a statement provided to IndieWire, Fonda said, “It hit me hard this morning when I read that Bob was gone. I can’t stop crying. He meant a lot to me and was a beautiful person in every way. He stood for an America we have to keep fighting for.”

Ozzy Osbourne

The Sundance Institute said in a statement about its founder, “We are deeply saddened by the loss of our founder and friend Robert Redford. Bob’s vision of a space and a platform for independent voices launched a movement that, over four decades later,has inspired generations of artists and redefined cinema in the U.S. and around the world. Beyond his enormous contributions to culture at large, we will miss his generosity, clarity of purpose, curiosity, rebellious spirit, and his love for the creative process. We are humbled to be among the stewards of his remarkable legacy, which will continue to guide the Institute in perpetuity.” 

Tom Rothman, chairman and CEO of Sony Pictures Motion Picture Group, told IndieWire in a statement, “In addition to being a titanic acting and directing talent, as an early board member of the Sundance Institute, I saw first-hand the Sundance Kid’s passionate commitment to indie film and young artists.   Robert Redford truly gave back. The entire scope of American film would have been much poorer without him. An amazing legacy of an amazing man.” 

Other tributes came from Marlee Matlin, who recognized on X the incredible impact that Redford’s Sundance Film Festival had on allowing smaller human dramas to flourish. “Our film, CODA, came to the attention of everyone because of Sundance. And Sundance happened because of Robert Redford. A genius has passed. RIP Robert.”

Colman Domingo wrote on X, “With love and admiration. Thank you Mr. Redford for your everlasting impact. Will be felt for generations.”
