Aamir Khan Joins IPL Commentary Box, Declares Virat Kohli As Cricket’s “Perfectionist”

Aamir Khan, a figure rarely seen in the sports broadcasting arena, made a notable appearance in the commentary box during the IPL 2025 final at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.

The match saw Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) secure their inaugural IPL title with a victory over Punjab Kings. Khan joined former cricketer Suresh Raina and actor-politician Ravi Kishan to deliver live commentary in both Hindi and Bhojpuri, adding a unique flavor to the broadcast.

In a lighthearted exchange, Suresh Raina challenged Aamir to identify the cricketing equivalent of Bollywood’s “perfectionist.” Aamir promptly responded, “I used to call Sachin Tendulkar a perfectionist. I feel that Virat Kohli and Jasprit Bumrah are perfectionists. What a bowler he is.” His observations resonated with those in the commentary box, and his words were met with widespread agreement as fans celebrated RCB’s long-awaited triumph.

Ravi Kishan, sharing the commentary booth with Aamir khan, took the opportunity during the broadcast to laud the actor’s upcoming film. Speaking in Bhojpuri, Kishan enthused, “Main poori India ko bolna chahta hoon, ab Sitaare Zameen Par aa raha hai. Inhone mujh jaise sitaare ko movies mein wapas laya Parliament se, aur mujh jaise desi aadmi ko Oscar tak le kar gaye.”

Well, we certainly agree with Aamir, Virat is a perfectionist!

Apologize, Then We Will Talk: KFCC Sends Clear Message To Kamal Haasan

Actor-politician Kamal Haasan is currently facing significant criticism over his contentious assertion that “Kannada was born out of Tamil”, a statement made ahead of the release of his film Thug Life. In response to the growing backlash, the Karnataka Film Chamber of Commerce (KFCC) has articulated its position: they are open to discussions, but an apology is a prerequisite.

“We are ready to hold talks across the table if Kamal Haasan’s team comes to us. Let them come to us. They have caused immense hurt to us,” stated M Narasimhalu, president of KFCC, during a conversation with News18. He further emphasized, “But there is a need for an apology. He has hurt every single Kannadiga across the country with his statement.” Narasimhalu also voiced the KFCC’s complete support for the Karnataka High Court’s firm stance on the matter, affirming that the court’s observations were “absolutely on point”.

He added, “If we don’t stand with the people of Karnataka, they will never forgive us.” These comments from the KFCC president followed a high-level meeting involving key industry stakeholders, convened after the court’s strong remarks criticizing Haasan’s controversial statement, which was made at the Chennai audio launch of Thug Life, scheduled for release on June 5.

Will Kamal Haasan apologize?

The actress can be seen wearing a stunning red slip dress that can make anyone stop and stare in admiration. What makes her clothing so tempting? Let’s break it down!

On a wonderful brief trip to Goa, the reality TV show judge appears to be having a great time, drinking cocktails and radiating her apsara attitude. Arora sported a Rs 14,000 satin maxi dress by Zumel and Co. The tailoring of this dress is what makes it so incredibly beautiful, even though satin red isn’t a novel idea in the romantic dress catalog.

The backless dress worn by Malaika Arora

The backless silhouette, featuring spaghetti straps crisscrossed and laced loosely to create a striking and seductive impression, was the major attraction of Malaika Arora’s dress. The diva only wore a pair of rings and her stunning blood-red manicure, which went well with her romantically inspired outfit, as an accessory for her crimson enchantress appearance.

Malaika kept her appearance unpolished and captivating by forgoing makeup for her dinner night swing and instead showcasing her natural skin. She exuded an impression of effortless beauty by wearing her hair up in a sloppy bun.

During her brief trip, the 2000s dancing icon also wore a rainbow bralette with a casual, monochromatic white ensemble. Malaika Arora is maturing like a good wine because she also left her fans speechless in a seductive zebra-print bikini.

She’s Heartbroken Again: Preity Zinta’s Heart Breaks As PBKS Miss Out On Maiden IPL Title

After years of longing, Royal Challengers Bengaluru finally secured their inaugural IPL title in 2025, triumphing over Punjab Kings in a gripping final. However, as jubilation erupted in the RCB camp, the moment was undeniably poignant for Punjab Kings’ co-owner and Bollywood actress, Preity Zinta, who was visibly overcome with emotion.

Several videos and images circulating widely on social media depict Preity walking off the field, her heart heavy, after the championship match concluded. Dressed elegantly in a white kurta paired with a red dupatta and matching salwar, the actress exuded grace yet was clearly shaken by the defeat. Her profound disappointment was evident as she navigated the ground post-match, her face pale and her eyes welled up with tears.

Preity was also observed approaching players, including Shreyas Iyer, to offer words of comfort. Her dignified yet heartbroken demeanor has resonated deeply with netizens, many of whom highlighted her unwavering dedication to her team since its inception

One fan on X (formerly Twitter) remarked, “Bhai, yeh bhi to 18 saal se wait hi kar rahi hai” accompanied by a crying emoji. Another user posted, “#PreityZinta has tears in her eyes, as expected. She’s heartbroken again. I saw similar visuals in 2014. ”

The 2025 IPL final held immense significance not only for RCB, who were chasing their first title in their 18-year history, but also for Punjab Kings, who were similarly vying for their maiden trophy. It was a high-stakes encounter where both teams had everything to prove.

Preity Zinta has been a vital part of the IPL since 2008 as the co-owner of Punjab Kings. Her fervent support for the team, consistent presence at the stadium, and deep emotional connection with her players have cemented her status as one of the most cherished franchise owners in the league. In her professional life, Preity is also poised to return to the big screen with Lahore 1947, marking her comeback after a hiatus.

I Picked Virat Kohli: Vijay Mallya Congratulates Former Team RCB On Maiden IPL Title

Fugitive businessman Vijay Mallya, once the owner of Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), extended his congratulations to the team following their historic triumph in the Indian Premier League (IPL). This victory marks RCB’s first-ever IPL title, bringing an end to an 18-year wait for the coveted trophy.

Soon after RCB secured the IPL 2025 trophy with a thrilling six-run victory over Punjab Kings at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Tuesday, Mallya took to X, formerly Twitter, to celebrate his former team’s achievement. “RCB are IPL Champions finally after 18 years,” he wrote. “Superb campaign right through the 2025 tournament. A well balanced team Playing Bold with outstanding coaching and support staff. Many congratulations ! Ee sala cup namde!!”

He added, “I had the privilege of picking the legendary King Kohli as a youngster and it is remarkable that he has stayed with RCB for 18 years. I also had the honour of picking Chris Gayle theUniverse Boss and Mr 360 AB DeVillers who remain an indelible part of RCB history.”

Virat Kohli Finally Lifts The IPL Trophy For RCB, 18-Yr Wait Comes To An End

The air in Ahmedabad crackled with anticipation on Tuesday at the Narendra Modi Stadium as Royal Challengers Bengaluru clashed with Punjab Kings in a pulsating IPL 2025 title decider.

What initially appeared to be a below-par target of 191 for PBKS ultimately proved insurmountable. RCB’s bowlers delivered another masterful performance, restricting Punjab Kings to 184/7 within their 20 overs, securing a historic six-run victory.

As the final moments unfolded and their maiden silverware seemed within grasp, Virat Kohli, a man who has tirelessly pursued this title year after year, was overcome with emotion, breaking down in tears. He had come agonizingly close on three previous occasions, only to face heartbreak. But not this Tuesday. In Virat Kohli’s own words, it can be said that “will sleep like a baby tonight”.

Punjab Kings began their chase with a promising start, as openers Priyansh Arya (24) and Prabhsimran Singh (26) forged a 43-run partnership in just five overs. However, RCB consistently landed crucial blows, even as Krunal Pandya delivered an exceptional spell of four overs, conceding only 17 runs and claiming the vital wickets of Prabhsimran and Josh Inglis (39).

The match remained finely poised during Prabhsimran and Inglis’s partnership, but once it was broken, RCB tightened their grip on the contest. The decisive moment that truly shattered PBKS’s hopes arrived when Romario Shepherd dismissed the in-form captain Shreyas Iyer, caught behind for a mere single. From that point on, RCB firmly became the favorites.

Despite Shashank Singh’s valiant unbeaten knock of 61, it wasn’t enough to prevent the wild celebrations that erupted within the RCB squad as they claimed their long-awaited title. This triumphant bowling display followed RCB’s earlier batting innings, where they managed to reach 190/9 in the final, struggling to exert significant scoreboard pressure on what was considered a favorable surface.

Congratulations RCB!

“Actor Jaa Chuka Hai, Labour….,” Pankaj Tripathi Opens Up On Work-Life Balance

Following reports of Deepika Padukone’s exit from Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s upcoming film Spirit due to her request for an eight-hour workday, actor Pankaj Tripathi has echoed similar sentiments regarding the importance of establishing boundaries at work and learning to politely decline when those limits are crossed.

Tripathi emphasized the need for reasonable work hours, suggesting that it is acceptable to conclude work once a commitment is met, rather than overextending oneself.

In a recent interview, Pankaj Tripathi shared his personal experience with learning to say ‘no’, admitting its initial difficulty. “Right now, I’m practicing saying ‘no.’ Because everyone should know where the boundary is – that this is the line, and beyond this, it’s a polite ‘no,’” he stated. He then recounted instances where his workdays on set would stretch to an unsustainable 16 to 18 hours. “Kaam mein khiche jaa raha hai. 16 ghanta-18 ghanta ho gaya main laga hua hu. Main bol bhi raha hu, actor jaa chuka hai. Labour ruka hua hai. (The work hours are getting stretched. I am working 16–18 hours straight. I’m even saying, the actor has left, the labourers are still waiting).”

Tripathi emphasized the importance of politely asserting boundaries in such situations. “Phir laga nahi, abhi toh aap vinamrata purvak bol dijiye ki ‘Nahi, itna hi hoga. Humne commit ye kiya tha, commitment humari poori ho gayi. Ab dhanyavaad. Jo bacha hai, kal karenge.’ (At this point, you should just politely say, ‘No, this is all that can be done. This is what we committed to, and we’ve fulfilled that commitment. Thank you. Whatever is left, we’ll do tomorrow’).” He concluded by stressing that setting boundaries is crucial not only in the acting profession but across all facets of life.

Work-life balance is a necessity, isn’t it?

Mani Ratnam Supports Deepika Padukone’s Call For Work-Life Balance In Film Industry

Veteran filmmaker Mani Ratnam has voiced his support for the growing demand for better work-life balance within the Indian film industry, specifically endorsing the reported eight-hour work shift request made by actress Deepika Padukone. In a recent interview while discussing his upcoming film Thug Life starring Kamal Haasan, Ratnam addressed the particular difficulties faced by young mothers in the demanding profession.

He stated emphatically, “It’s fair if she’s a young mother and needs to take care of her child, and she chooses something that will allow her to do so without any hindrance.”

Furthermore, Ratnam lauded Deepika’s assertiveness in expressing her needs, saying, “I think it’s nice when women ask for what they want and get what they want. It’s a very healthy sign.”

Ratnam’s remarks follow recent comments from director Sandeep Reddy Vanga, which were interpreted by many as a criticism of Deepika Padukone. Industry sources suggest that Deepika Padukone, who was initially slated to work with Vanga on his next project, Spirit, had requested eight-hour work shifts to accommodate her responsibilities as a mother to her daughter, Dua.

According to these reports, Deepika’s insistence on shorter workdays allegedly led Sandeep Reddy Vanga to replace her with Triptii Dimri, with whom he previously collaborated on his film Animal. Mani Ratnam’s support adds a significant voice to the ongoing conversation about creating more sustainable and family-friendly working conditions in the Indian film industry.

Preity Zinta Cheers for Shreyas Iyer: “One More Game to Go” Before IPL Final

Bollywood diva and club co-owner Preity Zinta sent a passionate message of support and congrats as Punjab Kings prepare for their biggest night of the season—the IPL 2025 final versus Royal Challengers Bengaluru—at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Tuesday.

This season, the PBKS team captained by Shreyas Iyer has been a revelation. With nine victories following the league stage, they topped the points table, demonstrating their reliability and camaraderie. They defeated the five-time champion Mumbai Indians in Qualifier 2, setting up a high-stakes rematch with RCB after stumbling against them in Qualifier 1.

Zinta, who frequently attends PBKS games during the season, posted an emotional visual montage and a motivational message for the squad on social media before the final.

“All smiles as @PunjabKingsIPL make it to the final after a SUPER TEAM EFFORT led by our dynamic sarpanch @ShreyasIyer15, our passionate coach @RickyPonting & the entire coaching staff & everyone at PBKS,” she wrote. “Today will be incomplete without mentioning Lockie Ferguson, Glenn Maxwell & Marco Jansen for making this final possible. One more game to go: Bas Jeetna Hai | IPL 2025 | Sadda Punjab | Ting!”

Preity Zinta is well-liked by the PBKS supporters due to her enthusiastic participation, which includes both cheering in the stands and interacting with the players.

Her statement captures the feelings of the team and its fans, who now dare to hope for their first Indian Premier League (IPL) championship.

PBKS is making their second IPL final appearance overall and their first since 2014. A new champion is particular because both teams are still vying for their first championship, and Punjab may benefit from Preity Zinta’s rallying call.
