Fashion Elegance: The Journey of Temple Jewellery from Tradition to Trendsetter

Although Temple jewellery is an essential heirloom in every South Indian female’s jewellery collection, but today the craft has transcended regional boundaries to become a fashionable adornment across India. Thanks to both Bollywood icons and the creative genius of top Indian jewellery designers, young women all over the world are in awe as soon as they spot the simple yet artful pieces of work from the 9th century.

Let’s delve into the reasons for Temple Jewellery’s rise to nationwide craze:

Influence of Regional and Bollywood Films and Icons: The appeal of Temple jewellery reached new heights in the last few years among Hindi-speaking belt/audiences with the popularity of South- Indian films. Also, the love affair of Bollywood’s leading ladies like Deepika, Priyanka, Kangana, Mouni Roy, Rashmika Mandanna, Shehnaz Gill, and many more with temple jewellery added to the inspirations. Fans and followers saw their Fashion Divas flaunting it on the silver screen, at weddings, and at star-studded and red-carpet events. From intricate jhumkas to statement necklaces, these pieces added a touch of glamour and tradition to their ensembles, inspiring a generation of fashion enthusiasts to embrace this timeless trend.

Evolution From Prestige to Accessible Elegance – Temple jewellery is originally sculpted from gold, silver, and precious stones and depicts temple tops, deities, and divine figurines in the designs. There was a time when this class of exquisite gold, diamond, and silver jewellery pieces were created and reserved only to adorn temple deities and royalty, but with time this exclusively crafted temple jewellery entered the common commercial platform in the form of replicas (brass and 1 gm gold plated sets) to suits all budget.

Versatility Redefined: Temple Jewellery’s versatility is its ability to appeal to all generations. Furthermore, Temple jewellery is now not only confined to bridal outfits but can be paired with traditional attire like silk sarees, lehengas, Indo-Western dresses or Anarkali suits. Its adaptability lies in its ability to complement various outfits, from traditional ethnic wear to modern attires.

Mix and Match: Young fashionists always like to experiment. You can spot Bollywood icons pairing pieces such as earrings, necklaces, bangles, and rings as statement pieces for styling contemporary outfits. Indian designers and jewellery brands are mixing metals like gold, silver, brass, and even semi-precious or imitation stones to create various designs for Temple jewellery enthusiasts.

Temple jewellery will continue to adorn Bollywood icons, fashion influencers, and everyday fashionistas, bridging the gap between the past and the present with its timeless allure and cultural significance.

Sharmin Segal Finally Reacts To Harsh Trolling She Faced For Heeramandi

Sanjay Leela Bhansali directed Heeramandi may have been released one month ago but people are still talking about it and many of them are trolling Sharmin Segal for her expressionless acting.

Sharmin is Bhansali’s niece and there are many who believe that she got the role just because of her relationship with Bhansali and not for her talent. Now, the actress who played Alamzeb in Heeramandi has reacted to the trolling. During an interview, she said, “The audience is the king at the end of the day. And as a creative person, it’s very important to acknowledge that. They have a right to their opinion – positive or negative. That’s one thing that gives me perspective and allows me to be okay.”

Sharmin feels that there are positive reviews as well but the Internet is focusing on the negative reviews more. In her words, “I had given my all to Alamzeb’s character. We tend to fixate on the negatives but there are so many positives that have also come along, which we don’t talk about. It’s perhaps not interesting enough to talk about positives and we tend to look over them to some degree.”

She added, “There was a point when I was not looking at many things [reviews] but then slowly, I realised that I was also missing out on a lot of love that I was getting. I’ve now started paying attention to that. Over the last few days, I decided to look through it all. The audience’s opinion is what will probably help you be the best version of yourself.”

What is your opinion in regard to Sharmin’s acting in Heeramandi?

Riyan Parag Does Not Want To Watch The World Cup For This Reason

Rohit Sharma-led Indian cricket team will start their T20 World Cup campaign on 5 June with their first match being played against Ireland and then they will face arch-rivals Pakistan on 9 June. 

India is in Group A along with Pakistan, USA, Ireland and Canada and India is being considered as the favourites by many to win the T20 World Cup as it’s a strong team and had a good preparation by playing in the recently concluded IPL 2024.

While there are many former cricketers and experts who strongly feel that the Indian team will be among the top four of the tournament, the young Indian cricketer Riyan Parag refused to tell his top four and also denied watching the T20 World Cup matches. 

Riyan Parag stated, “It will be a biased answer (prediction on top four teams) but to be very honest I don’t even want to watch the World Cup. I’ll just see who is winning it at the end and I’ll be happy. When I will play the World Cup, I will think about top four and all of that.”

Matthew Hayden Makes Big Comment About Virat Kohli’s Batting Position In T20 World Cup

The Indian cricketer Virat Kohli was in sublime form during the IPL 2024 as he won the Orange cap for scoring 741 runs in the tournament and because he opened for Royal Challengers Bangalore in the IPL, many former cricketers feel that he should open in the T20 World Cup as well. 

There are few experts who feel that Virat Kohli should stick to his number 3 position and let Yashasvi Jaiswal open with Rohit Sharma as it will also give a right-left combination. 

The former Australian cricketer Matthew Hayden made it clear that in his opinion, either Virat Kohli should open the innings or he should not be part of the team, Hayden added that right-left combination is also needed so Rohit Sharma should bat in the middle order. 

During a conversation, Hayden said, “You have to have a left-right combination. You can’t have five right-handers in a row. Australia would just say hello to Zampa. Kohli has to open or he does not play in my team. He is in absolute red-hot form.”

Talking about Rohit Sharma, Hayden said, “Rohit is a versatile player and does not shy away from batting away in that middle order. He has a successful record in T20I cricket batting at No. 4 and he can lead the batting group from the early middle order.”

Do you agree with Matthew Hayden? Let us know your views.

Kangana Ranaut Stands with Raveena Tandon Post Road Rage Controversy

An audience is said to have attacked Bollywood actress Raveena Tandon and her driver recently on Carter Road in Mumbai due to claims that she drove recklessly. Raveena got out of her car to address the crowd as things became more heated, but she claims to have been hit and shoved. The actress was falsely accused on multiple occasions of being intoxicated when her vehicle struck an elderly woman. A day following the event, actor Kangana Ranaut offered her support to Raveena. Kangana described the situation as “absolutely alarming” on her Instagram Stories, denouncing the “road rage outbursts” and stating that “those people must be reprimanded.” “What happened to Raveena Tandon ji, is absolutely alarming; she would have been lynched had there been five or six more people in the opposing group,” Kangana tweeted.

The incident involving Raveena Tandon ji is quite concerning; if there had been five or six more members of the opposing group, she would have been lynched. Such outbreaks of road rage are unacceptable, and the individuals responsible should face consequences. Such harsh and nasty behavior cannot be tolerated.

Raveena’s car did not crash with anyone, the police discovered. Another man alleged that Raveena had abused his mother in a social media video. He claimed that the event took place when he was strolling by the actor’s residence with his mother, sister, and niece.

The event’s specifics were clarified in a statement released by the Mumbai Police. They verified that, contrary to what the complainants claimed, Raveena Tandon was not intoxicated. As stated by Zone 9 Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Rajtilak Roshan, “The complainant made a fake allegation in the purported video. When this family was crossing the same lane, the actress’s driver was reversing the automobile from the road into the society, according to the whole CCTV tape of the society that we viewed. An argument broke out between them after the family pulled over and ordered the driver to look behind the vehicle before reversing.

But what if there was a better way to wake up and seize the day? Enter the world of herbal teas – your new best friend for a healthy and invigorating morning routine.

These aren’t your grandma’s floral teas (although those have their place too!). We’re talking about powerhouse herbs brimming with benefits that go beyond just a quick jolt of energy. Herbal teas offer a moment of calm focus, like a mini spa treatment for your mind and body before you tackle the day’s to-do list.

So, ditch the sugary coffee crashes and artificial energy drinks, and let’s explore five incredible herbal teas that can transform your mornings:

1. Ginger Tea: Your Spicy Morning Wake-Up Call

Feeling sluggish? Ginger tea is here to be your spicy savior! This root boasts some serious invigorating properties. It helps improve circulation and metabolism, giving you a natural energy boost without the jitters. Plus, ginger is a digestion superstar, so you’ll feel lighter and more energized throughout the morning. Brewing ginger tea is simple: just grate some fresh ginger into hot water, let it steep for 10 minutes, and strain. Add a squeeze of lemon or a touch of honey for a taste bud party.

2. Peppermint Tea: The Refreshing Reset Button

Hit snooze one too many times and now your brain feels like mush? Peppermint tea is your knight in shining armor. The invigorating aroma and taste of peppermint leaves are like a breath of fresh air for your senses. It instantly sharpens your focus and leaves you feeling more alert. Peppermint tea is also known to be a headache hero and can even aid digestion, making it a perfect all-around morning pick-me-up.

3. Matcha Green Tea: The Sustainable Energy Champion

Forget the afternoon slump – matcha green tea is here to provide sustained energy, like a nature-powered battery pack for your body. This vibrant green powder is packed with antioxidants and delivers a smooth, long-lasting energy boost. Unlike coffee, which can leave you feeling jittery and crashing later, matcha promotes a calm and focused alertness. This is thanks to its L-theanine content, an amino acid that chills you out without making you drowsy. Preparing matcha is easy – just whisk a teaspoon of the powder into hot water for a beautifully colored and energizing beverage.

4. Lemon Balm Tea: Calmly Energized and Ready to Go

Feeling stressed before you even check your email? Lemon balm tea is your secret weapon. This gentle herb offers a unique blend of calming and energizing effects.

5. Ginseng Tea: Sharpen Your Focus and Conquer the Day

Ginseng is a powerhouse herb with a long history of use in traditional medicine. It’s well-known for its ability to increase energy and mental clarity. By combating fatigue and improving concentration, ginseng tea is the ideal choice for a revitalizing morning beverage. While ginseng tea can have a slightly bitter taste, adding a touch of honey or lemon can help balance the flavor profile. Steep ginseng root or a ginseng tea bag in hot water for a revitalizing start to your day.

Bonus Tip: Brewing Bliss

  • Freshness is key! Whenever possible, opt for fresh herbs and roots for the most potent flavor and health benefits.
  • Steeping secrets: Most herbal teas require steeping for 5-10 minutes. Oversteeping can result in a bitter taste, so set a timer to avoid disappointment.
  • Natural sweetness: If you prefer a sweeter tea, choose natural sweeteners like honey or stevia over refined sugar.

So, ditch the sugary coffee and artificial energy drinks, and embrace the world of herbal teas! These natural elixirs offer a gentle, sustained energy boost along with a multitude of health benefits. Experiment with different flavors, find your favorites, and transform your mornings into a time of peaceful energy and focus. Remember, a healthy and mindful start to your day sets the tone for a productive and positive journey ahead. You’ve got this, morning warriors!

Ditch the iPhone: New Oppo F27 Series’ durability is not even there in iPhone 15

Looking for a smartphone that can withstand the elements? Look no further than the Oppo F27 Series! This upcoming lineup boasts an IP69 rating, surpassing even the iPhone 15 and Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra. Dive into the specs, features, and potential launch date of this innovative series.**

The smartphone landscape in India is about to get a major shakeup with the imminent launch of the Oppo F27 series. This highly anticipated lineup, consisting of three distinct models – the Oppo F27, Oppo F27 Pro, and the top-of-the-line Oppo F27 Pro+ – is generating a lot of buzz for a very specific reason: its rumored industry-leading durability rating.

Durability Takes Center Stage: The Oppo F27 Series’ Edge

For many smartphone users, durability is a paramount concern. Accidental drops, splashes, and even dust exposure can damage these delicate devices, leading to costly repairs or replacements. The Oppo F27 series appears to be addressing this concern head-on, with leaks suggesting an impressive IP rating, particularly for the Pro+ model.

Understanding IP Ratings: Demystifying Dust and Water Protection

But what exactly is an IP rating, and why is it so significant? An IP rating, also known as an Ingress Protection rating, signifies a device’s level of protection against dust and water ingress. The first digit represents the level of dust protection, ranging from 0 (no protection) to 6 (dust-tight). The second digit signifies the water resistance level, going from 0 (no protection) to 8 (can withstand continuous immersion in water).

Oppo F27 Series: A Durability Powerhouse

Leaks suggest that the Oppo F27 series will boast varying IP ratings, catering to different user needs:

  • IP66: This rating implies the phone is dust-tight and can withstand powerful water jets from various directions. Perfect for everyday use, safeguarding your phone against accidental spills and dust.
  • IP68: This signifies the phone is not only dust-tight but also water-resistant up to a certain depth for a specified time. Ideal for surviving short submersions in water.
  • IP69: This is the real game-changer. The Oppo F27 Pro+ is rumored to possess this exceptional rating, indicating exceptional protection against both dust and high-pressure, high-temperature water jets. This level of durability is typically found in industrial equipment and signifies remarkable resilience against harsh environments.

If these rumors hold true, the Oppo F27 Pro+ would boast a durability rating surpassing even some of the most premium flagship smartphones from industry giants like Apple and Samsung. This could be a major selling point for users who lead active lifestyles or require a phone that can withstand demanding conditions.

Beyond Durability: A Look at the Oppo F27 Series’ Potential Specs

While official specifications haven’t been revealed yet, leaks provide some intriguing insights into what the Oppo F27 series might offer. Here’s a glimpse:

  • Performance: The Oppo F27 Pro and Oppo F27 Pro+ are speculated to be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7050 processor, a chipset known for its balance between performance and efficiency. RAM options could range up to a generous 12GB, ensuring smooth multitasking and handling demanding applications with ease.
  • Camera: While specifics remain under wraps, rumors suggest a dual rear camera setup on the Pro and Pro+ models, featuring a 64MP main sensor. This could be accompanied by a secondary sensor for depth information or capturing bokeh effects.
  • Battery and Charging: The Oppo F27 series is expected to pack a sizable 5000mAh battery, offering ample power for extended use throughout the day. Fast charging capabilities are also rumored, with support for 67W SuperVOOC technology potentially present. This technology promises quick charging times, allowing you to get back to using your phone in no time.
  • Sustainable Design: Adding an eco-conscious touch, all models in the series may come with a vegan leather back panel, appealing to users who prioritize environmentally friendly choices.

Launch Date and Pricing Speculations

A leak from reliable tech insider Mukul Sharma suggests a June 13th launch date for the Oppo F27 series. While official pricing hasn’t been announced, the series is expected to be positioned in the mid-range to high-mid range segment, making it an attractive option for users seeking a feature-packed phone without breaking the bank.

Oppo F27 Series: A Compelling Alternative for Durability Seekers

Oppo F27 Series: A Compelling Alternative for Durability Seekers (continued)

Oppo F27 Series: A Compelling Alternative for Durability Seekers

The upcoming Oppo F27 series, particularly the Pro+ model with its rumored IP69 rating, presents a compelling alternative for users who prioritize durability without compromising on performance or style. Here’s a breakdown of the potential advantages:

  • Unmatched Durability: If the leaks hold true, the Oppo F27 Pro+ would boast superior durability compared to many leading flagship smartphones. This translates to peace of mind for users who are accident-prone, engage in outdoor activities, or work in demanding environments.
  • Capable Performance: The rumored MediaTek Dimensity 7050 processor and up to 12GB of RAM suggest the Oppo F27 Pro and Pro+ will be able to handle everyday tasks and even some light gaming with ease.
  • Sustainable Design: The inclusion of a vegan leather back panel caters to environmentally conscious users who appreciate eco-friendly choices in their tech purchases.

Making an Informed Decision: Oppo F27 Series vs. The Competition

With the launch date approaching, potential buyers might be wondering how the Oppo F27 series stacks up against established players like Apple and Samsung. Here’s a comparison to consider:

  • Durability: As mentioned earlier, the Oppo F27 Pro+ blows the competition out of the water (pun intended) with its rumored IP69 rating.
  • Performance: While the Oppo F27 series is expected to offer solid mid-range performance, flagship offerings from Apple and Samsung might boast more powerful processors catering to demanding users.
  • Camera: Specific details about the Oppo F27 series’ camera are still under wraps. Flagship smartphones from Apple and Samsung typically feature more advanced camera systems with multiple lenses and sophisticated features.
  • Brand Recognition: Apple and Samsung are household names globally, offering a certain prestige factor associated with their brands. Oppo, while a major player, might not hold the same level of brand recognition for some users.

The Final Verdict: A Smartphone for Every Need

The choice between the Oppo F27 series and established flagship brands ultimately boils down to individual needs and priorities. Here’s a quick guide:

  • Choose the Oppo F27 Series if: Durability is your top concern, you seek a balance between performance and affordability, and eco-friendly design matters to you.
  • Opt for a flagship from Apple or Samsung if: You prioritize top-tier performance and the most advanced camera technology, brand recognition is important to you, and budget isn’t the primary constraint.

The Oppo F27 Series: A Breath of Fresh Air

The Oppo F27 series promises to be a breath of fresh air in the Indian smartphone market. With its focus on exceptional durability, a balance between performance and affordability, and a sustainable design element, it caters to a specific user segment seeking a phone that can withstand the elements without sacrificing style or functionality. As the official launch date approaches and more details are revealed, the Oppo F27 series is poised to be a strong contender in the mid-range to high-mid range smartphone segment, offering a compelling alternative for users who prioritize durability and a balance of features at an attractive price point.

Sharmin Segal on Trolling: ‘Opinions Are Important for Actor’s Growth’


Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar, directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, was released last month. It remains a topic of conversation on the Internet even a month later. Even though every role got their due share of praise, Sharmin Segal endured unending trolling for allegedly acting coldly toward her co-stars and “being expressionless” during the show.

The actress had to disable her social media comments section due to the rising level of negativity. Almost a month has passed since Sharmin Segal first spoke out against the constant harassment she was receiving online.

Sharmin Segal of Heermandi refers to the audience as “the king” and emphasizes the value of their input.  In a recent interview, the Heeramandi actress referred to the audience as “the king” and emphasized the significance of public feedback for an individual in the creative process. According to the actress, it provides her a perspective and makes it possible for her to accept it.

“At the end of the day, the audience is king,” she stated. And it’s critical to recognize that as a creative individual. Positive or negative, they are entitled to their own view. That’s one thing that helps me see things clearly and makes me feel alright.

Sharmin Segal would prefer to concentrate on the advantages rather than the drawbacks. The actress continued by stating that she worked very hard to play the part of Alamzeb in the program. She doesn’t lose hope and emphasizes the need to emphasize the good things in life rather than just the bad.

“I had poured all into Alamzeb’s persona. We have a tendency to focus only on the drawbacks, but there have also been a lot of benefits that we are unaware of. Positives are perhaps not intriguing enough to discuss, and we tend to overlook them to some extent, according to her opinion.

Sharmin Segal discloses that she avoided discussions about Alamzeb
Sharmin continued by acknowledging that she avoided engaging in any conversation about her role following the premiere of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s film. She had only begun to read everything a few days beforehand. The actress revealed that she had likewise been blind for a while before realizing that she was losing out on the love she was receiving.

Sharmin said that she has started focusing on the advantages. She has been going over everything. She said, “It’s the audience’s opinion that will probably help you be the best version of yourself.”

According to Sharmin Segal, actors voluntarily submit to constructive criticism and feedback of this kind.  As an artist or performer, the actress said, “positivity, constructive criticism, and a whole range of feedback” are certain to come one’s way. The actress accepted it as inevitable and that it was beneficial for her to understand other viewpoints.

“Your views mold you into the actor and person you are. You realize how many people you can reach when you see these genuine people reacting to you. These viewpoints are crucial, the speaker declared.

The actress is pleased to have reached a larger audience in recent weeks, which she “could’ve ever connected with in her entire life,” despite the various reactions she has received. Sharmin said that fans have connected with her character of Aastha from her debut film Malaal as well as with Alamzeb and herself through the show.

She emphasized that after the release of Heeramandi, her first movie was among the top ten films. The actress described being able to communicate with individuals throughout the world as a “nice experience” in general.

In addition to Sharmin, Manisha Koirala, Richa Chadha, Aditi Rao Hydari, Sonakshi Sinha, Taha Shah Badussha, and other actors starred in the show. On May 1, the Netflix series will be available.
