Karishma Tanna just served up a beauty hack that’s as quick as it is effective—and her fans can’t get enough.
The Scoop star took to Instagram to reveal her secret for bold, bushy, envy-worthy brows. Her trick? Grab a bar of soap, spritz it to moisten, swipe some onto an eyebrow brush, comb your brows backwards, then smooth them into place. The result—instant volume and definition—had her followers buzzing.
The comments section quickly turned into a beauty wish list. One fan begged, “What’s your cheek and chin hack?” Another pleaded for a DIY face pack recipe, while a smitten admirer went full Shakespeare, calling her beauty “confusing hearts” and inspiring endless admiration.
But Karishma’s tips don’t stop at makeup. Just days earlier, she shared her mother-in-law’s recipe for protein- and fiber-rich ladoos, her favorite pre-workout snack. The no-guilt sweet treats are made with oats, makhana, ghee, jaggery, roasted cashews, almonds, raisins, and a dash of cardamom. Her step-by-step involved roasting, semi-grinding, mixing with melted jaggery, and rolling into perfect bite-sized balls.
From on-fleek brows to healthy indulgences, Karishma’s proving she’s got the hacks for looking—and living—fabulous.
Vidya Balan Recalls First Parineeta Song That Made Her Cry
Back before Parineeta even hit the floors, Vidya was in Kolkata shooting a music video with late director Pradeep Sarkar when he handed her a CD. “Go to the car, we just recorded a song,” he told her. That track was Raat Hamari Toh—and it left her in tears. “It’s so
beautiful, haunting, and powerful. I burst out crying right there. It’s so easy to cry listening to it,” she recalled.
While Raat Hamari Toh was her first taste of the soundtrack, Vidya says Piyu Bole will always have her heart. “It’s romantic, has that old-world charm, and feels timeless. Even kids today love it.”
Composer Shantanu Moitra calls Parineeta “a piece of my heart,” crediting singers like Sonu Nigam, Shreya Ghoshal, Sunidhi Chauhan, and Chitra for bringing depth to his melodies, and Rekha’s performance for making Kaisi Paheli Zindgani iconic. Lyricist Swanand Kirkire described the music as “poetry and melody dancing in perfect harmony” and praised Vidya, Saif, and Rekha for turning the songs into instant classics.
This 20th-anniversary re-release also marks Vidya’s two decades in Bollywood and 50 years of Vinod Chopra Films. The film has been fully restored in 8K with remastered 5.1 surround sound—part of a four-year project by Prasad Film Labs. Fans can relive Parineeta’s magic when it returns to theaters on August 29, 2025.

Bhumi Pednekar Slams Stray Dog Crackdown, Cites 4,500-Year Bond
Bhumi Pednekar is speaking out against the Supreme Court directive to remove hundreds of thousands of stray dogs from Delhi’s streets—and she’s using her own rescue pup, Bruno, as proof of why they belong.
Sharing photos and videos with her beloved Indian Pariah dog on Instagram, Bhumi revealed how Bruno came into her life at just four months old—battered, burned, and with a dislocated jaw after being tortured by children. “It’s not their fault—it’s ours, for failing to teach empathy and kindness,” she wrote.
Calling the Indian Pariah a breed that has “walked alongside us for over 4,500 years” and is mentioned in the Rig Veda, Mahabharata, and Upanishads, Bhumi said they remain symbols of loyalty, protection, and companionship.
She argued that street feeders have long been their lifeline—feeding, vaccinating, and sterilizing them out of their own pockets—and that the solution lies in mass sterilization, vaccinations, and community care, not confinement.
“Removing them en masse will only create more cruelty and displacement,” Bhumi said. “May there be empathy. May there be peace. May justice prevail.”

The Doctor G actress shared festive snaps on Instagram, glowing in a red salwar kameez alongside husband Jackky Bhagnani and his mom. “Happy Teej to all celebrating… my first time with my MIL and what a lovely experience. Slide to see the ‘waiting for the moon’ face—the wait is real,” she joked.
Kajari Teej is a traditional festival where married women offer solah shringar to Goddess Parvati for blessings of love, prosperity, and good fortune.
Rakul and Jackky’s romance began during the COVID-19 lockdown after years of being neighbors who never crossed paths. The couple tied the knot on February 21, 2024, in a dreamy Goa wedding.
Up next, Rakul will return as Ayesha Khurana in De De Pyaar De 2 with Ajay Devgn, joined by R. Madhavan as her father. The film, also starring Tabu, Jimmy Shergill, and more, hits theaters on November 14, 2025. (Source: IANS)
