Varun Dhawan shared a picture with the T20 World Cup-winning captain Rohit Sharma from his meeting at Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant's sangeet ceremony on Friday night. Varun took to his Instagram handle and shared a picture with the Indian skipper. "Mumbai cha raja @rohitsharma45. Humble, passionate, funny carrying the hopes of a billion with a smile. Was such a joy meeting the INDIAN captain last night and being able to spend little time with him and talk cricket," he wrote. Several videos of Varun and Rohit's interaction have surfaced on social media. In one of the videos, Varun can be seen hugging 'Hitman' and congratulating him on the T20 World Cup victory. Varun was also joined by his wife, Natasha Dalal. India ended a 13-year ICC World Cup trophy drought with a victory in the final, defeating South Africa by seven runs. Rohit ended the tournament with a career-best performance with the bat, with 257 runs in eight games at an average of 36.71 and a strike rate of over 156. His best score was 92, and he scored three half-centuries in the competition to become the second-highest run-getter.

The parade was an affair to remember and marvel at, as thousands of fans gathered at Marine Drive and surrounded the bus before it could even get Indian players on it. The team went to Wankhede amid cheers, chants, and claps from passionate fans. At the Wankhede, they were felicitated with the prize money of Rs 125 crore by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) office-bearers. Players also talked about their win, and the performances of key players in the T20 World Cup inside a jam-packed Wankhede and danced their hearts out. The event also featured the players taking a victory lap to the tune of the country's national song, 'Vande Mataram'. Apart from Varun Dhawan and Rohit Sharma, from Salman Khan to Madhuri Dixit Nene and Hardik Pandya, several celebrities marked their appealing presence at the function of Anant and Radhika at the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre (NMACC) in Mumbai on Friday. As part of the wedding celebrations, Mukesh Ambani and Nita Ambani recently organised a mass wedding for the underprivileged on July 2 at Swami Vivekanand Vidyamandir in Palghar. On July 3, Ambanis organised a spectacular Mameru ceremony- a Gujarati wedding tradition where the maternal uncle (mama) of the bride visits her with sweets and gifts.The wedding festivities are meticulously planned, adhering to traditional Hindu Vedic customs. The main ceremonies will commence on Friday, July 12, with the auspicious Shubh Vivah, or wedding function and according to sources, guests are encouraged to embrace the spirit of the occasion by dressing in traditional Indian attire. The celebrations will continue on Saturday, July 13, with Shubh Aashirwad. The final event, Mangal Utsav or the wedding reception, is scheduled for Sunday, July 14.

MS Dhoni Birthday: Revisit the struggles & life of 'Thala' through SSR's film

Mahendra Singh Dhoni, the 'Thala' of the cricket world and captain cool of Chennai Super Kings, is celebrating his birthday today. What better way to honour MS Dhoni than revisiting his film starring Sushant Singh Rajput? Released in 2016, ‘MS Dhoni: The Untold Story’ is an iconic film based on the life of the ace wicketkeeper and former captain of the Indian cricket team. Now, fans can easily catch this film as it has been re-released in theatres on Dhoni's 43rd birthday. 'MS Dhoni: The Untold Story' became a beloved biopic of Hindi cinema upon its 2016 release. Directed by Neeraj Pandey, the film chronicles Mahi's journey from his early school days, his passion for cricket, the challenges he faced, to finally becoming the captain of the Indian cricket team. The movie also delves into the personal aspects of Dhoni's life, including losing his first love Priyanka Jha (played by Disha Patani) and later meeting his wife Sakshi Dhoni (played by Kiara Advani). The film also stars Anupam Kher, Bhumika Chawla, Rajesh Sharma, and Kumud Mishra in pivotal roles, all contributing to its commercial success.

Javed Akhtar hits back at troll for calling his father ‘gaddar’

Javed Akhtar, a screenwriter, lyricist, and poet, never misses an opportunity to voice his opinion when required. Recently, he took to his X account and tweeted about the upcoming US presidential polls. His post attracted many trolls, but Javed Akhtar, being himself, did not remain silent. Instead, he decided to give the haters a taste of their own medicine, calling out one for historical ignorance and another for making a derogatory comment. Akhtar tweeted from his X account, saying, “I am a proud Indian citizen and till my last breath I will remain so but I have one common fact with Joe Biden. Both of us have exactly equal chance of becoming the next president of USA.” I am a proud Indian citizen and till my last breath I will remain so but I have one common fact with Joe Biden . Both of us have exactly equal chance of becoming the next president of USA . — Javed Akhtar (@Javedakhtarjadu) July 6, 2024 In response to his tweet, a user remarked, “Your father was instrumental in making Pakistan in order to have a nation just for Muslims, then in the guise of a progressive writer he chose to remain in India. You are a son of Gaddar (traitor) who divided our nation on the lines of religion. Now you say anything but this is the truth.” This reaction didn’t sit well with Javed, who hit back and captioned his response, “It is difficult to decide whether you are totally ignorant or a complete idiot. From 1857, my family has been involved with the freedom movement and has gone to jails and Kala paani when most probably your baap dadas (fathers and grandfathers) were licking the boots of the Angrez sarkar (British government).” I am a proud Indian citizen and till my last breath I will remain so but I have one common fact with Joe Biden . Both of us have exactly equal chance of becoming the next president of USA . — Javed Akhtar (@Javedakhtarjadu) July 6, 2024 When another user asked him about the prospects of Michelle Obama, the scriptwriter opined, “I have expressed my opinion quite a few times in the past and still stand by it that the only one who can save USA from Trump is Michelle Obama.” However, a user made a racist comment about the former first lady of the USA, saying, “You're quite fond of ‘him’ Michelle?” This response elicited a fitting reply from Javed, who reacted, “It is very, very irresponsible of your family that they still have not committed you to any mental asylum. Man, you are sick and badly need help.” It is very very irresponsible of your family that they still not have committed you to any mental asylum . Man , you are sick and badly need help . — Javed Akhtar (@Javedakhtarjadu) July 6, 2024
