Priyanka Chopra Flaunts Modern Saree Look at ‘The Bluff’ Premiere
MUMBAI, India — Priyanka Chopra made a bold fashion statement at the premiere of The Bluff, stepping out in a bright yellow draped outfit that gave the classic Indian saree a sleek, modern twist. The flowing look featured a dramatic trail and a thigh-high slit, blending traditional inspiration with red-carpet glamour.
Sharing photos online, Chopra said the outfit was deeply personal. “Wearing this is an ode to Ercell Bodden, my character in The Bluff. In the opening of the film she appears with a dupatta over her head, a subtle but meaningful marker of identity and strength.” She added, “I love a saree. And when I saw this piece walk down the couture runway last month, it felt like a saree with a modern twist. We immediately called Gaurav and asked him to hold it for me.”
Calling the look simple yet powerful, Chopra wrote, “There’s a quiet power in its simplicity… To me, this piece is a testament to the growing global scope of Indian fashion and how beautifully our heritage continues to evolve.” The Bluff, set in the late 1800s, stars Chopra as a former pirate trying to escape her violent past, only to be pulled back into danger.

Sonam Kapoor Looks Back at ‘Neerja’ as Film Marks 10-Year Milestone
MUMBAI, India — Sonam Kapoor took a moment to reflect on one of the most defining films of her career as Neerja completed 10 years since its release, revisiting the powerful story that continues to resonate with audiences.
Marking the anniversary, the actress shared scenes from the 2016 film on her Instagram Stories, simply writing, “10 years of Neerja.” The film, directed by Ram Madhvani, starred Sonam as flight attendant Neerja Bhanot and earned widespread critical acclaim for its emotional storytelling and restrained performances.
Based on the real-life hijacking of Pan Am Flight 73 in Karachi in 1986, Neerja was told from Bhanot’s point of view. She famously alerted the pilots, grounding the aircraft, and later died while shielding passengers and crew from gunfire. Of the 379 people on board, 359 survived the attack.
The film went on to win two National Film Awards, including Best Feature Film in Hindi and a Special Mention, and remains one of Sonam’s most respected performances. Though known for a wide range of commercial films, Neerja is often cited as a turning point that showcased her dramatic depth.
On the work front, Sonam was last seen in Blind in 2023. Over the years, she has appeared in films including Raanjhanaa, Bhaag Milkha Bhaag, Prem Ratan Dhan Payo, Veere Di Wedding, and Sanju, building a varied career that spans romance, drama, and biographical cinema.
Krystle D’Souza Breaks Silence on ‘Shararat’ Song Casting Buzz
MUMBAI, India — Actress Krystle D’Souza has reacted to reports claiming Tamannaah Bhatia was originally considered for the song Shararat from Dhurandhar before Krystle and Ayesha Khan came on board, saying she was completely unaware of any such development.
Speaking exclusively, Krystle said the speculation took her by surprise but had nothing but praise for Tamannaah. “I had no idea about all this. But Tamannaah is amazing. She is beautiful and so good at what she does. More power to her. Whatever is written in someone’s fate, they get it,” she said.
Addressing how she landed the song, Krystle said she believes things fall into place naturally. “I feel it was in my fate, it was in Ayesha’s fate, and we got it. But that doesn’t take away from how beautiful Tamannaah is and what a great performer she is. Maybe she would have added her own spunk to the song. She brings her own aura and her own limelight, and that’s beautiful.”
Krystle also stressed the importance of women uplifting one another in the industry. “Every woman who is doing well makes me proud. I would love to see more women doing amazing, crazy performances and supporting each other,” she said.
Released in December 2025, Dhurandhar featured a star-studded cast and drew attention not just for its performances but also for its music, with Shararat quickly becoming one of the film’s most talked-about tracks. (Source: IANS)
