Patralekhaa on bringing Savitribai Phule to life in a powerful new biopic

FROM her striking debut in CityLights to diverse and unconventional roles, Patralekhaa has carved a unique path as an actress across film and TV.

Unafraid of challenges, she has continually pushed herself as a performer with characters that demand depth, nuance and emotional honesty. She is also one half of a cinema power couple with her actor husband Rajkummar Rao, and both have motivated one another to cross creative horizons. The acclaimed actress adds to that diverse body of work with the new Bollywood biopic Phule, due to be released next Friday (25). She steps into the shoes of one of India’s greatest social reformers, Savitribai Phule, an experience she describes as both humbling and transformative. The important chapter of 19th-century history sees her portray India’s first female teacher, who, along with her husband Jyotiba Phule, played a vital role in improving women’s rights across the country.

Is Rihanna hinting at a wedding with A$AP Rocky in her new Savage X Fenty bridal campaign?

Rihanna has once again got everyone talking. No, it's not about a new song or red-carpet look. It’s wedding bells, or at least something that looks a lot like them. On Tuesday, she dropped a fresh bridal-themed collection from her lingerie brand, Savage X Fenty.

In a pink lace set with a mini veil and thigh-highs, Rihanna posed next to a towering wedding cake… then kicked it over. That playful chaos and the whole vibe left fans guessing: is this just marketing, or is she hinting at her own walk down the aisle with longtime partner A$AP Rocky?

'Doctor Who' boss Russell T Davies shuts down ‘woke’ backlash over diverse casting

The creative force behind Doctor Who, Russell T Davies, has spoken out about criticism aimed at the show for being “too woke.” His message? He’s not interested in appeasing online outrage. The BBC sci-fi series recently made headlines for introducing its first-ever non-white lead duo. Ncuti Gatwa returns as the Doctor, joined by newcomer Varada Sethu as companion Belinda Chandra.

But some viewers took to the internet to complain that the show had become overly focused on diversity. Davies, speaking on BBC Radio 2’s Doctor Who: 20 Secrets from 20 Years, brushed aside the complaints. He said what some call “woke” or “diverse,” he simply sees as making space for everyone. “It’s not some agenda,” he said. “It’s just how life looks now.”
