Sonam Kapoor dazzles at King Charles’ coronation concert

Indian actress Sonam Kapoor spoke about the diversity of Commonwealth nations as she introduced various choir performers from the group at Windsor Castle last night (7).

Sonam began her speech with a respectful "namaste" ahead of performances by Steve Winwood, and the Bahamas Youth Choir, choirs from Risotto and Brunei, and the Virtual Commonwealth Choir were played.


She said, “Our Commonwealth is a union. Together we are one-third of the world’s people, one-third of the world’s ocean, and one-quarter of the world’s land. Each of our countries is unique. Each of our people is special. But we choose to stand as one. Learning from our history, blessed by our diversity, driven by our values, and determined to build a more peaceful, sustainable, and prosperous future for everyone, where every voice is heard.”

Sonam, introduced on stage as one of the biggest stars in Hindi cinema, wore a floral off-shoulder gown designed collaboratively by Anamika Khanna and Emilia Wickstead. She described it as a combination of the creative vision of two “incredible” designers from the countries she is “lucky to call home”.

She received support from her family and friends on social media after her 'historic moment'. Sonam's mother, Sunita Kapoor, posted a video of her speech on Instagram, while her father, Anil Kapoor, shared the video on his Instagram story and expressed his pride.

Sonam's cousin Arjun Kapoor, aunt Maheep Kapoor, uncle Sanjay Kapoor, Bhavana Pandey, and Shanaya Kapoor congratulated the actress on Instagram. Actress Neelam Kothari Soni also commented on Sunita Kapoor's post, saying, "This is such an honour."

Kim Kardashian didn’t know the Ambanis before saying yes to their ‘Wild’ 50-pound wedding invite

Kim Kardashian and her sister Khloé Kardashian recently opened up about their whirlwind trip to India in July 2024.

In the latest episode of The Kardashians, Kim admitted that she didn’t personally know the Ambani family before attending the wedding. In fact, the decision to go was made pretty casually.

During the episode, Kim shared that her connection to the Ambanis came through Lorraine Schwartz, a close friend and well-known jeweller. Schwartz designs jewellery for the Ambanis and was attending the wedding herself. She mentioned to Kim that the family was interested in inviting the Kardashian sisters to the event. “Lorraine said they’d love to have us there. We thought, why not? And we just went for it,” Kim explained.

It was the first time he ever brought a Bollywood star onto his runway, and he’s clear it will likely be the last. But for Deepika, he made an exception.

“I’ve never featured Bollywood at my shows,” Sabyasachi admitted. “But for my 25th anniversary, I wanted it to be personal. Deepika was the only person I could think of who carries the essence of what I believe in: tradition, modernity, and a certain quiet strength that speaks for India on a global stage.”

Kareena Kapoor tells Gillian Anderson the reason why she turns down intimate scenes

Kareena Kapoor Khan, one of Bollywood’s most loved stars, has spent over two decades making deliberate choices about the roles she takes. One of those decisions is steering clear of sex scenes on screen, a stance she recently explained in a conversation with Gillian Anderson for The Dirty Magazine.

Kareena was upfront about her reasons. “I’ve never felt the need to do it,” she said. For her, intimacy doesn’t have to be shown explicitly to tell a compelling story. “I don’t think it’s necessary to push a narrative forward,” she added, making it clear that such scenes have never been part of her creative comfort zone. Unlike many in the industry, she’s never seen them as essential to her craft.
